Laughable - It's kinda fluffy.
Don't own Inuyasha.
It was laughable, really, that life had taken him to this point.
Five hundred years ago, he was the dignified and ruthless Lord of the Western lands, son of the great Dog General.
In some quirky turn of events he was standing in the middle of a modern battlefield (a rooftop), swinging his brother's sword, dressed in red and shouting like an idiot. Oh, and how could he forget? He was also fighting alongside his brother's priestess.
This struck him quite unexpectedly in between shouting a direction to Kagome, and slicing an... appendage? off the creature's body. So he did something equally unexpected.
He and his mouth came to a dead stop before his sword dug into the roof, no destructive magic issuing forth causing both of the observers heads to swing toward him.
Then he started to laugh. Hysterically. The enemy and the priestess exchanged a look.
"Has the great Lord Sesshoumaru - pet dog - finally lost his mind?" The disgusting creature joined in Sesshoumaru's laughter before Kagome decided to just kill it without letting it get away.
As raining guts came down, conveniently followed by real rain, the laughter slowly came to a stop.
"Uh... Are you okay?"
"Kagome, am I turning into my brother?" He gazed at through his overgrown silver bangs as she stared at him.
"What? Of course not. Whatever made you think that?"
He really felt no desire to explain, so he gazed meaningfully at the damned sword, to his sleeve before staring pointedly at the girl herself.
"Ahh, I see. Tell me, Sesshoumaru, what is the color of your house?" He mumbled out "red" before she really gave him a chance to answer. "And what happens when the owner of an heirloom passes on? His stuff passes onto next of kin. As for being more talkative, I think if it as character improvement."
He quirked an eyebrow in amusement before asking, "Was there something wrong with my personality, Kagome? Moreover, how do you explain my keeping your company?"
She sputtered before smirking, "Good taste." There was a short silence before she continued, "No, you're not becoming your brother. And if it makes you feel any better, the differences were what attracted me to you in the first place." She tried to walk away with nonchalant grace, but the awful red blush betrayed her.
Almost immediately Sesshoumaru was a wall blocking her path. "And am I to understand that you have a romantic interest in this Sesshoumaru?" She nodded wordlessly, avoiding eye contact. She missed a grin crossing his face that - even now - would scare the pants off Jaken and all of his descendants.
Then he dipped down for a kiss, bumping her nose gently in the process, watching her eye widen, then close.
Suddenly there was a loud thump and Shippō, appearing as a fifteen year old, dropped from the sky shouting "It's about time!" and "Get a room." Kagome blushed, and then all was right with the world.
