Ok, teh literal translation (best I can piece together) is a million billlions of millions of port-holes. Which I know doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but its not supposed to. Its just a random thing that Captain Haddock says whenever he is angry or drunk or both. Which is basically all teh time. I think he has another saying too, but I can't remember it. P.S. In teh english version they change this to, "Billions of blue blistering barnacles!" P.P.S. Captain Haddock is a character in teh Tintin comics, a French series. teh main character is of course, a detective named Tintin. And he has a little dog named Milou, who is very funny when he is drunk.

We prefer Liz's million billlions of millions of port-holes......our dictionary sucketh Well scuttling was listed under teh sabord entry. And my dictionary sucks too. Its my aunts from when she was in high school or something and its held together by lots and lots of tape... Anyway, teh important thing is its a nautical term and captain Haddock is nautical man, so I'm sure it makes sense to him.

........................It was an endless moment before it occurred to Vic that he wasn't feeling pain like he SHOULD be, under teh circumstances..........!
"Am I Dead? No........doesn't feel like THAT, somehow.......Did I pass out....?"
Vic opened his eyes to a surprise--he left arm was STILL THERE, still ATTACHED to his body--and there was NO blood, either...(!)
"Um.......What teh Hell just happened...?" he thought, more than a little afraid to actually VOICE that thought.........
Vic glanced at Sesshomaru, and saw that teh Youkai Lord had already sheathed his sword, and--as usual--was standing silently, looking down his nose again at teh "lowly Vic-Human" before him--When Sesshomaru realized that Vic was staring at him, surprise still showing on his pale face, he seemed to "start" a bit--then, with his USUAL dignity and unruffled manner stated simply--
"I have decided that your Mortal appendage would not be SUITABLE for teh likes of such as I--too WEAK and frail, it would only get in my way, MUCH like its Former Owner....! Therefore, you may KEEP your Left Arm, Vic-Human, as WELL as your Life......."
He turned to go, but Vic reminded him--"What about my request, Sesshomaru!? What about RIN!?"
Sesshomaru glanced over his shoulder negligently, as if not really caring--
"You may KEEP her, Vic-Human--AND make her your Blood Daughter, if you wish--I have my OWN Family to care for now......"
Vic--relieved, happy, confused AND still a bit angry, ALL at once--still had teh presence of mind to manage a respectful bow.....
"THANK YOU, Lord Sesshomaru! I, AND my Family, are grateful, as I believe Rin will be, too!"
Sesshomaru turned away, but before he left, he DID add in a quiet voice cold enough to make Vic's heart skip a beat --
"Vic--Remember THIS: If you ever HARM my Rin in any way, I WILL KILL YOU, but you will SUFFER first until you BEG for Your DEATH by My HAND! Do you UNDERSTAND ME!?"
"I UNDERSTAND, Lord Sesshomaru--I would NOT have made such a request if I didn't wuv Rin at LEAST as much as You do........."
Sesshomaru give a slight nod [and was there almost a SMILE on his face!?], which Vic recognized as teh Youkai Lord's version of a Respectful Bow(!), then went on his way, back to teh Reception and his waiting Wife and Children----------
Vic slowly put on his shirt and coat, giving himself time to both absorb all that had occurred, as well as recover from what had been--for HIM, at least!--a grueling confrontation--
"WHY teh HELL did he spare me THIS time, I wonder!?" He thought, "And why do I NEVER get teh upper hand with that......that FLUFFY!!!!??"
But what Vic DIDN'T know was that Sesshomaru HIMSELF was both puzzled AND a mite "bothered" by what had happened--he looked down at teh TWO swords that he carried on his belt, and wondered.....
"WHY did I reach for Tensaiga when I MEANT to strike off his Foolish Mortal HEAD with Tonkigen......!?"
Well......no matter......It would ONLY have upset 'Kat, anyway..........
A Bit More, Yet!---

Hey, Liz! I understand that yer' GRADUATING, soon, like THIS WEEKEND! Gonna' have more time to be with us after that, I HOPE!? Ok, I'm not graduating that soon. Its next weekend actually. May 7th. And yes I will be able to come on more often after that. In fact, since grades are due next Wednesday, and my last exam is Tuesday, I'll probably be getting on right after that. Basically, expect me to be posting like crazy. I'll have lots of pent-up frustration to work off.

A Bit More, Yet!--- Considering Tenseiga has its own spirit and could likely get him to "accidentally" draw it without noticing when he meant to draw his other sword by its own power. Anyway, it apparently likes to help people, and "asks" Sesshoumaru for help in that sort of thing occasionally. And, damn, is Sesshoumaru ever just like his father and brother when he gets angry enough. I mean, this past manga chapter (titled Anger even) he suddenly starts fighting pretty much just like InuYasha normally does just from Mouryoumaru calling Kagura a "stupid fool" I believe it was.
