Reviews. okay, here's what's up. i'm being lazy right now and don't want to look up all of those who reviewed and what they said. so here you go, a nice big collective thanks, THANK YOU REVIEWERS!!

Sess: Yelling "Lady! What the hell is she doing here?!
FL: Innocent sounding "Who, darling?" walks over to door.
Sess: Points finger at figure in doorway " HER! What is she doing here?"
FL: turning to look at figure sounding surprised "Why, Kagome-chan, what are you doing here?"
Kags: smiles and steps inside " I was in town and decided to stop by, You really have a lovely little place."
Sess: narrows eyes in suspicion "What do you mean 'in town'? We live on Lady's ranch. There is no way anyone who was 'in town' would come by with out calling first, And why were you 'in town' to begin with? What does Littletown, TX have to offer you?"
FL: says sweetly " My, my, aren't we full of questions! Kags, will you please the disclaimer?"
Sess: "She knows the disclaimer?"
Kags: ignoring Sess " Fluffy's Lady does not own anything having to do with Inuyasha except this story line."
FL: "I also own all original characters in this story, but I don't own "Showpiece" by Out of Eden. Enjoy!!! Oh I don't own Prince of Tennis either. Don't know who does."
Kags: "Or Liar, Liar. Or Happy Feet. Or Because I Said So. Or any other movies/songs she used/borrowed."
Sess: Turn back to door " What the f-" cut off by everyone
ALL: "Sesshormaru watch your mouth!"

Be warned. My best friend got her a s/n with fanfiction so she is now my co-writer. Her author notes are in bold. Mine are regular. Her name is Dreamish.

Dilynn sat there, not looking at Sesshomaru. She looked at the trees, the grass, the bugs in the grass, a particular intersing looking cloud, she looked at anything except Sesshomaru.
"Diynn," Sesshomaru said. Sesshomaru's voice took her attention away from the cloud. "Relax Dilynn".
She knew what he ment but she didn't want to, not yet.
"Dilynn," he said a little more coaxing this time.
She shook her head no. She really really didn't want to.
This was getting frustrating for Sesshomaru. Deciding on a different route, he again revealed his true form.
Dilynn looked up when she saw him transform. She wasn't sure what he was going to do.
"What are you doing?" she asked in Dog.
Sesshomaru silently padded over to Dilynn. Lying down he curled around her and sighed lightly.
His breath tickled Dilynn's ear and sent a shiver down her spine.
Sesshomaru felt the shiver and curled tighter around her.
"Thank you," he breathed.
"What? What are you thanking me for?" Dilynn asked thoroughly confused.
"For protecting me," he relpied in a low voice, sending another shiver down Dilynn's spine.
"Oh," was all she said. She snuggled closer, happy he wasn't mad at her.
"Now relax, " He said again.
Dilynn raised her head and looked at him. "Why?" she asked.
"Because I want you to," he said slowly.
"Why?" she sounded desperate, scared.
"I want to see what you look like after your first time," Sesshomau answered.
"What do you mean what I look like after my first time?" Dilynn demanded.
Sesshomaru raised his head to look at her and caught her eye. " Once you transform for the first time, your human appearance changes. Sometimes it is a small change like hair or eye color. Others it gives you marks like mine. Then there are times where your ears change and give you more sensitive hearing," He explained gently.
Dilynn cocked her hear, "I wonder what it will be like on me?" she wondered.
"Thats why I told you to relax. I'm curious as well," Sesshomaru chuckled.
"Oh. Umm, Sesshomaru, how do I, ya know, How do I ,um, go back to normal?" Dilynn asked, a little unsure how he would react.
"You mean," Sesshomaru said slowly, "that you don't know how to return to normal?"
Dilynn nodded and looked away. Unwilling to look at him for fear he would laugh.
And laugh he did, so much so that he was rolling on his back and kicking his legs in the air.
"It's not funny!" Dilynn sniffed and got up to walk away. In an instant Sesshomaru had her by the scruff of the neck and was gently pulling her back towards him. Dilynn had no choice but to go along with his rough treatment. Although, she thought its not really that rough. In fact, its rather kind of nice. She sighed and laid down beside him again, shoving her head underneath one of his great forepaws.
what the? Sesshomaru thought. She is submitting to me?...She loves you and trusts you enough to do so. Why not return the favor?... Never! This Sesshomaru never submitts to anyony!... You can drop the "This Sesshomaru" act, its just us. And you have submitted before... To Father and Mother! Never anyone else!... What about your instructors? Your teachers? Your aunts, uncles,...All right! I get it! But they were all older and wiser that me-at the time...It's still submission...Shut up! I get your point!...Good
Sesshomaru turned over onto his back, removing his paw from Dilynn's neck.
Did he just submit to me? Me, of all people...dogs...whatever. Did he really submit though? Dilynn looked down at the rather ungraceful position Sesshomaru was in. Sure enough he was in a submissive posture-his belly up and throat bared. Whoa, he really did didn't he?...You betcha he did..Remind me who you are again?...Your other self...What other self?...Your youkai self...Oh, man this is confusing!...What is?... Should I refer to myself as "me" or "we"? I mean this really is a grammatical nightmare!...Not really. Sesshomaru doesn't seem to have any trouble with it...He's got one too?...Yep...Okay, so I'll follow his lead in grammar...Just don't do the "This Dilynn" thing. It really wouldn't work for you...You're probably right...I am...Cocky much?...Nope, just confident...Whatever.
"Uh, Sesshomaru-" Dilynn began but was cut off by a yell from an extremely ticked hanyou with an extremely large sword.
"Hey Sesshomaru, when did you start submitting to females?" Inuyasha sneered. "You really are pathetic brother. I mean females are just good for cooking food and warming your bed!"
"Inuyasha!" said hanyou's ears flattened against his skull. He turned around slowly to face an enraged miko.
"This ought to be good," Sesshomaru chuckled as he rolled onto his belly. He looked up. Dilynn stood over him protectively, with her head lowered and fangs bared. (A/N: head-to-head, tail-to-tail.) He stood up, catching Dilynn on his back with a yelp from her. "Relax," he said again.
"But how?" Dilynn whimpered.
"Think of your loved ones, your friend and family, and yourself as a human. remember this and you'll return to your original state," he said calmly eyes never waivering from the whimpering hanyou and enraged miko.
"All right," she said. Taking a deep breath she thought of her life, her friends, her family,and herself as a human. Slowly but surely her body relaxed and returned to its human form. Looking around she realized she was still on Sesshomaru's back.
"You can let me down now," Dilynn suggested.
Glancing back at her, Sesshomaru said, "Not a chance."
"But why?" she demanded.
"Because if the miko does not subdue the hanyou then he might attack and you'll be safer up there, " he stated looking back at the now arguing couple.
"Thanks," she replied quietly. All of a sudden noticed she could understand clearly what the two were arguing about.
"Take it back!!" Kagome hollered.
"Why should I? It's true ya know!" Inuyasha hollared back.
"It is not! Women are good for more than just being your personal slaves!" Kagome shouted.
"Feh," Inuyasha scoffed. "You're one to talk. You can't even take care of yourself in battle let alone anyone else!"
"Maybe that is true, but Sango is proof of my statement. She is the last of her kind and making her family proud!" Kagome panted out. Sango, who stood behind her, blushed at the young woman's praise.
"If that is true then how come every time she goes against Kagura, she is foolish enough to throw her Hiraikotsu even though it has never worked before and always gets thrown back at her! Face it Kagome, women are pretty much useless!" Inuyasha spat.
Sesshomaru heard every word that the hanyou said. How wrong you are, Inuyasha. He though of Iziyame and the Ladies of Dreams. They were the strongest of their clans. The woman on his back was proof of that.
"Sesshomaru," Sesshomaru turned his head at the sound of Dilynn's voice. He finally noticed the anger and indignity rolling off her in waves.
"Yes?"
"Will you take me over to the trailer so I can get Sakura?" Dilynn asked while trying to remain calm.
"What?" Sesshomaru asked, slightly confused.
"My flute, Iziyame called it Sakura," Dilynn explained.
Sesshomaru was still confused but decided to ask about it later. He nodded and took off. An instant later he was crouching down beside the trailer.
"Thanks," Dilynn said as she ran back inside the trailer and came out with the flute.
"Get back on," Sesshomaru said.
"Why?" Dilynn asked again.
"Because I already told you you'll be safe up there if the mutt decided to attack." Sesshomaru reminded her. Dilynn shrugged and climbed back up on his back. This time she grabbed a little fur and held on as he took off.
"What are you going to do?" he asked as they came to a stop in the field.
"I'm going to practice my powers on the hanyou," she stated. "I'm going to change his attitude towards women."
"What if it goes wrong and he only bacomes enraged?" Sesshomaru asked genuinely concerned.
"Then I'll sing him to sleep or you could just be my prince charming and protect me!" Dilynn teased. "Now lets just hope this works. " She crossed her fingers and yelled hoping to gain Inuyasha's attention, "HEY HANYOU!!" ...It worked...I know it did. I wanted it to...Now you did it, we're in trouble...Oh shut up! I can handle it...Ya, right. You mean Sesshomaru can...Oh go get back in your cage like a good mutt...Jip...Oh do be quiet, You are so making it hard to concentrate...We're all going to die... Put your big girl panties on and DEAL WITH IT!!
"What did you call me?" Inuyasha asked in a low voice.
Ignoring the treatening tone of voice--Sesshomarue would protect her- Dilynn continued.
"I've got a song for you! So listen up. Its called Showpiece by Out of Eden!" And with that, Dilynn raised Sakura to her lips and began to weave her spell. (A/N: I messed with one phrase. instead of dress, I put act.)
Inuyasha cocked his head at this.
Kagome, Sango, Kari and Casey cheered at this.
Kagome was pointedly glaring at Inuyasha who looked a little confusded and dizzy.
Sango turned her glare full-force on Miroku who squirmed where he stood.
Inuyasha looked less dizzy and more confused. Dilynn hoped her song was working.
Inuyasha was looking less confused and more certain about...something. Dilynn again hoped the song worked. If not-Sesshomaru would protect her.
Dilynn stopped singing. She looked at Inuyasha. He was standing there looking at nothing. He snapped out of his trance like stare and looked at Kagome with new eyes.
"I'm sorry Kagome. I didn't mean what I said before. Women are good for more than that. You are smart, beautiful and very successful. You are also very strong. You, your mother, and Sango are all proof of that," He said sincerley before turning to Dilynn.
Dilynn sat in awe. It worked, it really worked...It better have worked...I know it did...Keep telling youself that...Oh, hush!
As he came forward, Sesshomaru lowered his head and growled low.
"Wait, brother," Inuyasha said. "I merely wish to apologize and thank Dilynn. she has shown me women's true worth. And I-" he choked.
Dilynn looked at him strangely. Was her spell wearing off? ...Uh-oh, I told you so...Do you not know the meaning of shut up? It means put your lips together and zip it!
"I-" Inuyasha started again but chocked...again. He blinked several times as if trying to clear something away from his eyes. The peaceful look he had been wearing left his face.
"Oh crap," Dilynn said as he looked at her.
"'Oh crap'? What do you mean 'oh crap'?" Sesshomaru asked.
"What I mean is the spell has worn off already!" Dilynn shouted. Now ya did it. Just had to tell him about the spell. Good one....For the last time. Shut your freakin' mouth! I have enought to deal with without you in my head...Where else am I suppose to go? In your butt?...At least you might be suffocated down there...If I die, you will just be a human...True, but at least I wouldn't have to listen to you sqauwking...I beg your pardon. I do not squawk...Keep telling yourself that.
"Wench! So did put a spell on me! I knew it! I knew you were up to no good! " Inuyasha declared, lunging for Dilynn who was still sitting on Sesshomaru's back.(A/N: Sesshomaru is such a gentleman...demon..whatever. I don't think I like this Inuyasha dude. Women don't just warm men's beds...SHHHHH!! clamps hands over Dreamish's mouth..Don't say it like that!..What, I was merely going to say that we cook and clean. I mean men would never find there socks or cough cough underwear...rolls eyes Yes yes, now back to Dilynn)
Sesshomaru saw Inuyasha coming and quickly feinted to the left.
When Inuyasha's claws hit nothing but air he became seriosly enraged. He drew Tessaiga. (A/N: So did he like put it away or sumthin'?...Yes, he had put it away but he took it back out again...I hope he didn't cut off anything important wink wink...Dreamish!..whines What did I do now?...You dirty little heiffer...Moo...Grrrr! We'll finish this at the end of the chapter...yes, we will) "WIND SCAR!" he screamed aiming for Sesshomaru.
"Hold on!" Sesshomaru called to Dilynn.
"To what?!?" she cried.
"My fur if you have to!" he called back, dodging the attack.
"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha yelled again.
This time Sesshomaru leapt into the air and hovered above his confused brother.
"You can fly?" Dilynn shrieked, glad she had a firm hold of his fur.
"I never said I couldn't," he replied nonchalantly.
Inuyasha looked up. He smirked when he saw Sesshomaru in the air.
"Runnaing away are you, coward?" Inuyasha jeered.
"No, I'm just protecting the one I love. Something you have are terrible at doing," Sesshomaru said, landing behind Kagome and her group.
"You bastard! Get away from them!"
Kagome looked behind her and shrieked in fear.
Dilynn didn't hear Kagome's shriek, she sat numbly on top of Sesshomaru. Did he just call me the one he loves? So does that mean he loves me?...I'll answer that in song...Please don't. Please I beg you...(singing) L- is for the way he looks at you, O- is for the only one he sees, V- is very, very extraordemonary, E- is everything that Sess-...I think you broke my ears...That was a dumb movie...Was not!...Too...Uh-uh!...uh-huh...Was not!...Why not?...Because I said so...Another lame movie...Liar, Liar!...Another one. How long are you going to drag this out?...'Till you give in...Uncle...Thank you...Only because you need to get back to reality before you fall off lover boy's back...He'll kill you if he ever found out that you said that...Not if Inuyasha kills us first!...Sesshomaru won't let that happen...Keep telling yourself that...Shut up, that gets real old real quick...Telling yourself that keep...So stupid...It's differ'nt idiot...Smart b-...Jip...Hardly...I think we have established the fact...What fact?...That he loves you...I'll ask him later...Just don't forget to remember-...Don't start on songs. Trust me I won't forget.
Dilynn was jarred from her thoughts when Sesshomaru landed from another dodged attack. She looked down. Apparently Kagome and her friends weren't to keen on stopping the battle and had quickly moved out from in front of Sesshomaru.
Dilynn, on the other hand, was tired of this. She wanted the battle over and she wanted it over now.
She looked Inuyasha over. He was half dog-demon right? Well all dogs hated the "b-word" and all obeyed the "s-word". Right?...No you just made that one up...Nope, it's a fact. You are now muted...You can't mute me!...My mind, my rules. Goodbye.
"Inuyasha!" she called out, getting his attention. "Inuyasha! You're a bad dog! Bad boy! Bad bad bad dog! You don't try and kill your brother! That's a big no-no! Now SIT!"
Inuyasha's ears had lain back in shame at being called a "bad-dog". He flinched and cowared lower to the ground each time after that. When Dilynn told him to "sit", though, he opened his mouth to laugh only to be greeted by good old Tera-Firma.
"What the-?" Kagome stuttered, staring in shock at Inuyasha. "Since when did the necklace work for anybody except me?"
"Well, now that was unexpected," Dilynn stated. "I thought he would sit-" Inuyasha went face first into the dirt again, "oops, anyway, I thought he would plop on his haunches, not go face first into the ground. Um, Sesshomaru, what's the matter?" The young woman could feel Sesshomaru shaking underneath her.
Sesshomaru shook his head, trying desperately to hold in the laughter. He was just now realizing how very little control over his life his younger brother truely had.
"Inuyasha," Dilynn called to the recovering hanyou, "listen up. You know I don't kill needlessly. I don't want to kill you, but I will if I have to. You owe me your life--two times over at least--so I'm saying you should start repaying me by leaving now. Or else Sesshomaru or I will kill you for trying to kill us."
"Dilynn's right!" Kari called from her position safely behind Sesshomaru's back legs.
"You really should listen," Casey piped from beside Kari.
"Inuyasha, they're right you know," Kagome declared. Everyone else nodded their agreement.
"Feh," was all Inuyasha said, but he sheathed his sword (A/N: Be careful, it's sharp!...They have a scabbard you know...Kagome would be so upset if something happened to Princess Sophia...Wait, did you just steal that line from "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days"?...No I borrowed it, they can have it back now that I'm done with it. But Kags would make him sleep on the couch or sumthin...Hick...And proud of it...Back to the story you.) and turned away.
"Bye Sesshomaru, Lady Dilynn. Goodbye Rin and Kari. Casey, I'm sorry that I bit you. I feel absolutely horrible that I did," Kagome apologized.
"I forgive you," Casey said with a smile.
When the Inu-group left, Sesshomaru let Dilynn off his back.
Kari and Casey walked up to Dilynn.
"You still have a ways to go," Kari said.
"That's a stupid cartoon," Dilynn rebutted.
"What is?" Casey asked.
"Prince of Tennis. That's where she got that silly quote from. That's the main character's main line," Dilynn explained.
"Whatever, let's set up camp so we can get some sleep," Casey replied, completely uninterested in the topic.
The girls nodded and began to set up camp. Sesshomaru had other plans for Dilynn though.

Dreamish: "So what's the guy with make-up's plans for poor Dilynn?"
FL: looks around nervously "You really want him to come alive and kill me for that don't you?"
Dreamish: "For what?"
FL: "For calling him 'the guy with make-up'! That's what!"
Dreamish: " Oh, if he comes to life he won't kill you. In fact, I think it would rather be a dream come true...for you...if ya know what I mean."
FL: "DREAMISH!"
Dreamish: "Lady and Fluffy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marraige, then comes a baby demon in a baby carraige. Ahh, every girl's dream."
FL: "What is?"
Dreamish: "To be wife to Sesshomaru."
FL: "'Cept, yours. Your heart lies with Orlando Bloom."
Dreamish: sigh He is cute! Ofcourse, Pirates...duh! Oh and Johnny Depp AND his multiple personalities...faints"
FL: "Loser. And you were making fun of me for liking Sesshomaru when he's not even real. And here you are fainting over Jack Sparrow and his little critters."
Dreamish: coughs "CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow thank you very much. Except for the one that laid an egg...and liked the goat...just a little creepy...oh and the one who lost his brain! Inuyasha lost his a long time ago."
FL: "Good thing I don't like him. And quit spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it!"
Dreamish: "Ok, Ok. Anyways back to make-up boy. You won't have to worry about him coming to life tonight. Looks like he and Dilynn have some 'plans'. Bad Bad author, don't ya know that this is rated TEEN!"
FL: "Um, hello! I have not done any inuendos in this story. That has all been you in all the author notes. With all your 'wink wink's and 'cough cough's. Dirty minded little-"
Dreamish: "Oh no you just didn't! snaps hand in air I might have said it..umm..suggested it. But you tiny miss thing were thinking it."
FL: "I never said anything of the sort. If I thought it--which I so deny doing--I never said a word. So there. Take it and shove it! Goodbye folks! Tune in for the next chapter it'll be a howl!"
Dreamish: "Yep, its gonna be wolfishly delightful. Sigh Writers cramp and early in the morning sure does a number on one's sanity. Ofcourse even more so for FL...I mean she had none to begin with. Gotta love her though...sometimes."
FL: sticks toungue out at Dreamish.
Together: theme music in background Tune in next time for more Bulldog News...umm...we mean To Wish Upon A Star! Goodnight! Sleep tight! Don't...let Sesshomaru bite!"
