My friends, this is my entry in Lordsesshomaru’s fanfic contest. Those of you, if any, who are not familiar with his fanfics may be at a disadvantage because this story is set in his universe, and written to match his own humoris style. It should be very easy to tell where his work ends and mine begins; but to make it unmistakable, this piece here is written by him. My writing continues his story, and begins in today’s second post.

Sibling Showdown
(written by LordSesshomaru)

The setting is the feudal era, the slight chill of early winter fills the air. The time is the afternoon. The place is Kaede’s village. Inuyasha wipes the sweat from his brow, sweat created from the exercise one would receive from chopping firewood. From sunrise until now, the half-demon has been using Tetsusaiga to cut wood for the elderly priestess. Not on his own accord, but because he was ordered to by Kagome, thanks to the beads of subjugation around his neck.

Inuyasha: I hate this necklace. I hate this firewood. I hate that old lady. FEH!

Shippo is seated nearby on a log.

Shippo: You hate everything, don't you?

Inuyasha: I hate you.

Shippo (rolling eyes): I saw that coming.

Inuyasha (mocking): I saw that coming.

Shippo: Shut up.

Inuyasha (mocking): Shut up.

Shippo: Quit it!

Inuyasha (mocking): Quit it!

Shippo: KAGOME!

Kagome joins them from inside of Kaede's house.

Kagome: What is it, Shippo?

Shippo: Inuyasha is making fun of me!

Inuyasha: Liar! I'm chopping firewood and he's harassing me!

Shippo: Nuh-uh!

Kagome: Hmm...

Inuyasha: Who are you going to believe? Me or him?

Kagome studies them both. Shippo is making a cute, innocent face. Inuyasha is scowling with his arms crossed.

Kagome: SIT!

The beads of subjugation use their magic to pull Inuyasha to the ground. Shippo laughs and follows Kagome back inside the house.

Inuyasha: I HATE THEM ALL!

Voice: Then why do you put up with them?

Inuyasha (looking around): Who said that? That sounded like--

Sesshomaru is standing near some trees not too far away from Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru: You're a disgrace...allowing a human to push you around like that.

Inuyasha: You're the real disgrace! I mean, look at you! You have that makeup, that goofy moon on your forehead, that fluffy thingy...what is that thing anyway? And to top it off...you only have one arm! Gee, I wonder why?

Sesshomaru's blood starts to boil.

Inuyasha: You chastise me for keeping company with humans. What about Rin, eh? I thought she was a human. I guess she's a monkey in disguise or something. You're just jealous because I have TWO women after me and you only have that creepy Kagura chick following you around. And I think Jaken is a bit too friendly with you, if you know what I'm saying.

Sesshomaru tightens his fist. Inuyasha takes some soil from the ground and makes a moon on his forehead similar to his brother's. He goes inside and gets Kagome's fluffy winter coat and drapes it over his right shoulder. Then he tucks his left arm inside his kimono. Inuyasha struts around, imitating his brother.

Inuyasha (as Sesshomaru): Ooh! Look at me! I'm Sesshomaru! I have two swords but only one arm to use them! My best friends are a grade-schooler and a green piece of poop with legs!

Sesshomaru's eyes fill up with his enraged demon blood.

Inuyasha (as Sesshomaru): I'm so pretty! All I need now is a purse to match this outfit and I'm set, girlfriend!

Inuyasha swivels his hips as he walks in circles around Sesshomaru. The Lord of the Western Lands has had enough. He draws Tokijin.

Sesshomaru: I will not stand here and continue to be mocked!

Inuyasha points to the log that Shippo was sitting on before.

Inuyasha: You can always sit down and continue to be mocked.

Sesshomaru points Tokijin at his brother.

Sesshomaru: HAVE AT YOU!

Inuyasha removes the funny outfit and raises Tetsusaiga.

Inuyasha: Heh! As you wish!

The brothers lock their swords together...
