Mending a broken heart

The next morning they all sat making plans on how to kill Naraku when Inuyasha stopped talking and began to growl.

"Yo mutt, what the hell's up with you?" Kouga asked confused as to why Inuyasha was growling. Inuyasha never got a chance to answer him because just then Kikyo walked through the door. At first she looked around at them all in surprise.

"I see we have visitors. How nice to see all of you." She said with a fake smile.

"Save it Kikyo. You can stop your fuckin nice act. We all know what you've done." Inuyasha spat glaring at her.

"And what exactly is it that I have done for you to speak with me so?"

" Does the name Naraku ring any bells?" Was all Inuyasha said. At first her eyes widened in panic. She quickly covered up her panic with faked confusion.

"I'm afraid I know not of what you speak of." She said.

The whole time her and Inuyasha spoke, Sesshomaru sat there growling. When she claimed that she didn't know what Inuyasha was talking about, Sesshomaru snapped. In a matter of seconds he had her pinned to the wall by her throat. She gasped when she saw his red eyes.

"Do not lie you whore! We know that you were somehow able to bring Naraku back. Now tell us where he is!"

"I will tell you nothing!" She said when she realized her cover had been blown.

"You will tell me now! He has something that belongs to me."

"What could Naraku possibly have that you would want?" Kikyo asked glaring at him.

"MY MATE!" He yelled.

She gasped. "No. You mean...Kagome is your mate?" She whispered. Now she was terrified. She knew how protective an inu was of their mate. She knew right then that she had to tell him the truth. If she didn't, she had no doubt that he'd kill her on the spot.

"He's in the east. In the forest of dispare."

"Thank you. Now it is time for you to go to hell where you belong. You do not deserve to wander this land for everything you've done to my brother. Now die!" Just as he was about to shove his poison claws through her chest, he was stopped by Inuyasha.

"Wait!" Inuyasha yelled. Everyone looked over and glared at him.

"What the hell muttface! You're gonna spare her after everything she's done!" Kouga yelled.

"Hell no!" Inuyasha yelled back.

"Then what the hell's the hold up?" Kouga asked.

Inuyasha smirked wickedly. "I want to do the honors myself." Sesshomaru smirked back at him as he dropped Kikyo at Inuyasha's feet.

"No Inuyasha! Don't do this! I love you!" Kikyo pleaded.

Inuyasha snorted. "Yeah fuckin right. If you really loved me, you never woulda made me do all the shit you made me do. Don't worry though, you won't be alone for too long. Naraku will be joining you in hell soon enough." He said. Kikyo screamed as he thrust his claws through her chest.

"Damn that felt good." Inuyasha said sighing as he dropped Kikyo's dead body to the floor. He wrinkled his nose in disgust when he saw that he was covered in her blood.

"Ah hell! Now I gotta take a damn bath! I just took one a fuckin week ago!" He complained.

Sesshomaru smirked. "You still hate taking baths do you?"

"Keh. Yeah, so what?"

"I would have thought you'd grown out of that phobia by now." Sesshomaru said.

"Phobia? What phobia?" Miroku asked. He knew Inuyasha had weird bathing habbits but he never knew why Inuyasha hated bathing so much.

"Don't you dare tell them asshole!" Inuyasha said when he saw Sesshomaru smirking at him.

"Let's just say that once when he was a pup, he went swimming naked and a fish thought that a certain...body part was a worm. Ever since then he's been terrified of bathing and when he actually does bathe, he usually wears his pants or undercloathes." Miroku and Kouga burst out laughing.

"Oh ha ha. Laugh it up ya bastards. You wouldn't think it was so funny if a fish though YOUR dick was food!" He said blushing as he turned to walk out the door.

"Make sure you check for fish before you get in the water." Kouga said laughing.

"Oh he does. I've seen him get on his hands and knees and look down into the water and sniff at it for a good ten minuets before. I always thought he was just making sure the water was safe. Now I know he was actually checking for fish." Miroku said smirking.

"Fuck you guys!" Inuyasha yelled blushing cherry red as he stomped out of the house. They all laughed at him.

"So what are we gonna do about her?" Kouga asked pointing to Kikyo's dead body.

"Allow me to take care of that." Sesshomaru said. Miroku and kouga watched as poison dripped from his claws on to Kikyo disolving her body and eating a hole through the floor.

"You know he's gonna bitch you out for ruining his floor don't you?" Kouga asked.

Sesshomaru shrugged. "As if I care?"

About ten minuets later Inuyasha returned from his bath. Just as Kouga had predicted when Inuyasha saw the hole in his floor, he flipped out.

"What the fuck happend to my floor!?"

"I took care of the corpse with my poison claws."

"Did ya have to use your damn acid in my house?"

Sesshomaru lifted a brow. "I would have thought you'd be greatful to me for disposing of the body for you."

"You didn't have to melt my floor asshole!"

"Hn. This Sesshomaru did not want to touch that filthy corpse."

"Don't worry Inuyasha. You can always fix the floor later on." Miroku said.

"Keh. Whatever. Let's just get goin so we can rescue Kagome." Inuyasha said.

"Not so fast Inuyasha." Miroku said.

"What now monk?"

"Kikyo said that Naraku lived in the forest of dispare right?"

"Yeah so?"

"You do know that the forest of dispare is a very dangerous place do you not?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha was confused. "Uh, so what? It ain't like I've never been anywhere dangerous before."

Miroku sighed. "You don't get it. That forest is called the forest of dispare for a reason. Somehow this place is able to tell what's in your heart. It's able to sense your deepest fear and it brings that fear to life in a powerfull illusion. It's kind of like a test. If you can't find your way out of the illusion, you will be driven insane and will be lost to the forest forever living out your worst nightmares over and over again."

"And that's supposed to scare me? I can fight off any stupid illusion." Inuyasha said smugly.

"You must not take this lightly Inuyasha. The illusions are very vivid and can feel very real. Even a demon as strong as myself can be lost in the madness." Sesshomaru stated. Inuyasha's eyes widened. For Sesshomaru to openly admit something like that, it meant that this really would be a dangerous mission.

"I just pray that we are all strong enough to make it out." Miroku said.

Shortly after their conversation they packed up their things and set off on their journey.

A/N: I know the whole thing with the fish attacking Inuyasha's....most private area was a little much, but the fish was only a small one so it wouldn't have done any damage. I hope you all didn't think it was too dumb.
