A/N- Just a small little drabble about all those fights before Kagome disappears into the future.

They twitched in perfect time. Once, twice, thrice. Neither moved so much as an inch; their breathing as synchronized as their involuntary spasms of anger. It was a battle of wills, amber eyes colliding with stormy cobalt ones as they both narrowed degree by harrowing degree.
"Inu- yasha!" A light, feminine voice pleaded. He wasn't fooled. He could hear the steal determination woven into her tone. The stupid wench was a stubborn as he was. "Please!"
The only reply was a low, feral snarl. The dark haired teenager took a slow, calculated step forwards, her breath catching in her throat as her companion mirrored her movements. He was not going to back down without a fight. Then again, she hadn't expected him to.
It was an unspoken game they played. She would beg and plead and threaten while he stood as resolute and unsympathetic as stone. They waited. There was only one way the blue- eyed girl could win and they both knew it. Still, they waited. She wanted to know how long she could keep from using the strange power that bound him to her.
"I need to go home, Inuyasha." She tried again, her voice even softer then before. His ears trembled, the pointed appendages flattening against the silvery hair that shone in the steady sunlight. "I need to. You know I do. I need to restock, and get my homework assignments, and see my family!" She continued to list her reasons, using her slender fingers to enunciate each excuse.
He wasn't listening. He never did. "No." He challenged, his deep baritone rumbling. Arms spread out, he crouched defensively, coiled to spring. He was prepared to stop her at all costs.
The pleading continued, continuing to fall upon ears that could not care less. Finally her eyes narrowed that last degree, the one that told him that he'd lost. A screech of frustration echoed throughout the clearing, followed quickly by the dreaded word.
"Sit!"
The young man collapsed onto the ground, a string of colorful and inventive curses escaping his mouth as his female companion made a mad dash past him. "I'll be back in three days, Inuyasha!" She promised before vanishing completely. His heart gave an unpleasant shudder at the though of her being a whole world away.
Moments past and finally he rose from the ground, a grin tugging on the corners of his mouth. She had lasted much longer that time without using the rosary. A whole three minutes. Soon she wouldn't need it to bind him to her at all.
He knew that she never had.
