They're relationship is more…delicate (?) compared to Sesshomaru and Kagome's relationship. Does that answer your question? But not to worry, I will write about those two, don't you worry!)

Chapter 4
"Tell me…why do you and Sesshomaru hate each other so much?"
He stared at her. He stared at her for a good long while, wondering if what she had just asked him was simply something he had imagined. That must have been it, because no human would have ever dared ask him or Sesshomaru such a personal question. Not even a demon would have been so foolish.
"Excuse me?"
"I said-"
"I know what you said."
He rubbed his forehead in irritation, sighing. He then looked back at her, narrowing his eyes in annoyance. "What I can't figure out is why you would ask me such a stupid question."
Kagome gasped in outrage and began to rant. "Stupid? Oh, let me tell you what I think is stupid-"
"No!…no, what I-what I meant was…asking that question is dangerous. Only a complete moron would have asked me that."
"Why would…" began Kagome, but trailed off when she started to understand. "So…you don't like each other?"
"Yes."
"And…you don't like to talk about why you hate each other, because I'm guessing it brings up bad memories…?"
"Yeah. And we just don't like to talk about it."
"So…you're not going to tell me. Not yet anyways…" Kagome put her hands on her hips, glaring at him. She started grinding her teeth together furiously, steaming quietly. "And…why not?"
"Because Sesshomaru is right behind me," replied Inuyasha, looking at her with an extremely bored expression.
"What…?" asked Kagome, blinking. Please tell me he didn't just say what I think he just said… thought Kagome, hanging her head in defeat.
Inuyasha folded his arms across his chest, smirking. He tilted his head to one side and said, "Don't you just hate that guy?"
"Huh?" asked Kagome, lifting her head to see Inuyasha jump next to her. She stared at him before asking, "What are you doing?"
"Provoking Sesshomaru," answered Inuyasha, grinning. Gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, he began sneering at something in the trees. "Hey, SESSHOMARU! Why don't you come out, huh? Or are you too scared to face me?"
Kagome widened her eyes in disbelief as she saw Lord Sesshomaru appear on a branch above them. As he stepped into the light he grabbed his sword calmly, watching them both. Kagome flinched and looked away, not being able to look into his beautiful, piercing eyes.
"Inuyasha…," drawled Sesshomaru, "when I attack you this time…you will die."
WHAT?! thought Kagome in a panic, looking from Sesshomaru, back to Inuyasha. This can't be! This can not be!! Why are they fighting?!
"Heh…yeah, this time. And all those other times you've failed to kill me were what? Face it, Sesshomaru. You're losing your touch. Or maybe… I'm just better than you!" spat Inuyasha, grinning.
"Filthy half breed…"hissed Sesshomaru, swiftly drawing out his sword and diving down at them.
Inuyasha growled in irritation, glancing quickly at the defenseless Kagome and then back at Sesshomaru. He jumped up just as Sesshomaru's sword hit the ground, which ripped right through the earth, causing an explosion from the force Sesshomaru had used. Sesshomaru looked up at Inuyasha with a blank expression on his face.
"Running away, Inuyasha…?"
"Heh, that's what you think!" yelled Inuyasha, landing beside Kagome. Inuyasha grabbed her around the waist, pulling her against him roughly. He looked back at Sesshomaru and was pleased at the furious expression Sesshomaru was giving him.
"Inuyasha-"
He kissed her swiftly, smirking at her. "This is no place for stupid girls. Why don't I take you home, huh?"
"Wha?!"
"Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha turned around to see what Sesshomaru's expression looked like, but before he could do that something yanked Kagome out of his grasp and hit him painfully in the gut, sending him flying.
Kagome blinked in shock and look up at whatever had yanked her out of Inuyasha's arms and found it to be none other than Lord Sesshomaru. He wasn't looking at her, but at wherever he had thrown Inuyasha.
Oh no! thought Kagome, embarrassed. He…he saw! He saw Inuyasha kiss me! He was right there! That…THAT WAS MY FIRST KISS!! THAT BASTARD STOLE MY FIRST KISS!! Turning a bright shade of red she put one hand to her face, not wanting to believe that he had seen Inuyasha and her kiss. Turning away, she began running in the opposite direction of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha when something grabbed her wrist, yanking her back.
She looked up and met a pair of smoldering golden eyes. She then started blushing madly, looking away. He grabbed her chin with his other hand, forcing her to look up at him. Taking a deep breath, she whispered, "Lord Sesshomaru…" But before she had time to breath his mouth was on hers, crushing her soft lips against his. He pulled her against him, running his hand up her body.
"Keep your hands off of her, bastard! She's not one of your whores!"
Kagome's eyes widened as the image of the woman she had seen latched onto Sesshomaru on her last visit to his estate. She blinked away the oncoming tears and tried to tear herself away from him.
Sesshomaru realized he was losing her, so he kissed her more passionately. He then pushed her roughly away from him, moving his hand to his mouth. He let out an angry growl, looking at the woman in front of him. He moved his hand from his lips and was shocked to see blood. Astonished, he looked at Kagome again.
"You…bit me."
Inuyasha snorted behind them, trying to hold back the laughter.
She clenched her fists angrily, glaring furiously at the man in front of her. "You…You deserved it! I can't believe I…" she paused in mid sentence, touching her lips. She remembered how his lips felt against hers…but it meant nothing.
He doesn't…
She looked up at him angrily and yelled, "You don't really love me! You don't even care about me! All I am to you is some…thing! All you want is just to have a taste and then leave!" She lowered her head in anger and whispered, "What am I? One of your whores…?"
She lifted her head up and glared at him furiously. "Well, I won't let you win! I'm not some whore you can just mess around with! I hate you, Sesshomaru! You might want to work on your kissing, because Inuyasha is a way better kisser than you'll ever be!" yelled Kagome and spun around angrily, glaring at Inuyasha.
"Well…? I thought you were taking me home…" whispered Kagome dangerously, scowling up at him.
"Ah..! Yes, Kagome! R-right away…!" stammered Inuyasha, watching her carefully. He slowly took her in hers arms and with a quick glance to Sesshomaru, ran off.
"…"
Sesshomaru stared after them, dumbfounded. What…just happened…? he asked himself.
Well, I do believe you've just been rejected…
Be quiet, you pest.
Sesshomaru…
You are the most irritating oni I have ever met…
My, my, aren't we feeling feisty…
Leave…
As you wish, my lord…
"Ah, Sesshomaru!"
Sesshomaru twitched and turned around to see Miroku running towards him. He sighed in relief, trying to compose himself again.
Argh…I thought he was…
Me?
I thought I told you to leave…
My lord, you shouldn't be so paranoid. It's not good for your health, you know…
I said, leave, damn it!
"Sesshomaru?"
He was brought back to reality by his friends' voice and was quite thankful. He looked at Miroku and said, "I'm sorry. Would you mind repeating that?"
"Ah…yes, of course. Well, I came here because the villagers heard a commotion coming from somewhere over here. Would you perhaps happen to know what it was?" asked Miroku, looking at him intently.
"I have no idea what it could have been…" said Sesshomaru, looking the other way.
"Oh, come one, Sesshomaru. I saw Inuyasha running towards the village with Higurashi-sama in his arms on my way here-
"You saw that half breed…?!" hissed Sesshomaru, narrowing his eyes. Miroku nodded slowly, eyeing Sesshomaru suspiciously. Sesshomaru looked away, irritated at himself for letting that slip out.
"What happened, Sesshomaru…?"
Sesshomaru spent the next 15 minutes telling Miroku about what had happened, not forgetting to throw in filthy half breed, mongrel, dog, etc. After he was done Miroku started shaking his head, sighing.
"You're an idiot…"
"What…?"
"You messed up…and I don't mean one of those small mistakes that you can just say you're sorry and it'll all go away. I mean you really messed up, Sesshomaru. If there was a contest for idiots who messed up as bad as you did, then you would get first prize."
"…"
"Idiot."
"I think that's about enough…"
Miroku turned to Sesshomaru and raised his eyebrows at him. "You do realize that Kagome might actually despise you and that Inuyasha might steal here away and marry her…right?"
"Ridiculous," snorted Sesshomaru, staring at Miroku. "That's just as ridiculous as saying man will walk on the moon…" Miroku eyed him wearily until Sesshomaru began to sweat. "That's impossible. No woman has ever hated me before."
"I'm irresistible," stated Sesshomaru, folding his arms across his chest. Miroku raised his eyebrows at his friend and thought, And people say I'm full of myself…
Sesshomaru turned away from him, narrowing his eyes. What if she does hate me? What if she does run off with that sorry excuse for a half demon? What if they…marry? Sesshomaru shuddered at the thought and then gasped out loud.
What if they have…babies together?!
"Uh…Sesshomaru? You alright?"
"No…I am beyond being alright, Miroku."
Turning to face Miroku, he said, "What if they get married? When a man and a woman get married one thing leads to another. Miroku…what if…what if they have little babies together?! And what if the babies end up looking like that…that thing! No…I can't let that happen! Never!"
I didn't think he'd take it this hard…
"YOU HEAR ME, INUYASHA?! I WILL NOT STAND BY WHILST YOU POISON MY KAGOME'S WOMB WITH YOUR SEED! NEVER!!"
"Uh….Sesshomaru…?"
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!!"
"…oh jeez."
-
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" asked Kagome, looking at him.
"Ugh…I just got chills…"murmured Inuyasha, holding Buyou up by the tail. (I hope I spelled this name right…)
The Next Morning………………………………...
"Pass me the eggs, you old goat!"
"Kagome, don't yell at your grandfather…"
"Children should respect their elders!" wheezed Kagome's grandfather, holding the bowl of scrambled eggs in his wrinkled hand. Kagome slammed her fist down against the table, growling, "And old geezers like you should DIE!"
"Kagome…!"
"Sorry, mom…"
"So…something happen with you and that Lord Sesshomaru guy or what?" asked Sota, munching on his rice.
Kagome immediately spit her tea in her grandfather face, coughing loudly. Everyone pretended not to notice, but gave her quick glances before eating their breakfast. Mrs. Higurashi cleared her throat and said, "My, would anyone like some more pickles? They're simply delicious!" And without another word, she took a bite of one of the pickles.
Kagome slammed her hand down and glared at her brother. "Where the hell did you get that idea, huh, you little punk…?" hissed Kagome.
"W-well, I-
"May I be excused…?" asked Kagome and got up, stacking her dishes up and bringing them to the kitchen.
Kohaku whispered, "Nice goin, Sota…"
Someone started knocking on the door and Sango hopped up and ran to get it. The table was silent until Sango got back from the door. "Well, dear? Who was it?" asked Mrs. Higurashi, smiling.
"Well…"
Someone from behind Sango stepped forward into the light, smiling. His bright blue eyes sparkled mischievously as his gaze wandered around the Higurashi dining table. "Excuse the intrusion…but I was wondering if I could borrow Kagome for a minute…" he said, flashing them his fangs.
"O-oh…well, of course," muttered Mrs. Higurashi, laughing nervously. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Kouga Ookami wanted with Kagome.
"Kagome!" barked Mr. Higurashi loudly, watching Kouga silently. An aggravated sigh came from the kitchen and then Kagome came bursting through the kitchen doorway.
"What is it?!" yelled Kagome at her family, not bothering to notice the man next to her. Mrs. Higurashi kept laughing awkwardly and Sota pointed with his chopsticks. She turned her head to the side and was horrified to see the Kouga Ookami. The same Kouga Ookami that had been at the dance in the village.
"Ah ha, Kouga! …what brings you here?" asked Kagome nervously, scratching the back of her head and laughing.
He just flashed her a smile before speaking. "I was wondering if I could have a word with you…?"
"O-oh…with me, you say?" stammered Kagome, giving her family a quick glance. Before he could say anything Mrs. Higurashi jumped up.
"Well, we'll just be leaving now…"
Kagome looked at them as if they had just fed her to the wolves. Her mother smiled at her as she shooed everyone out of the dining area. Before she walked out of the doorway Sota and Kohaku gave her a thumbs up. And then…they were gone.
"Kagome."
"Y-yes?!"
He watched her for a moment and then walked over to her, taking her small hands in his large ones. He looked into her eyes and breathed, "Kagome…"
"Eh…?"
"I'm gonna make you my woman."
