Chapter 4: Hate

Last time: Inuyasha came back and was about to land a punch right at Sesshomaru when Kagome uttered a 'Sit!'

(BOOM!)

'Such pups...' Miroku thought shaking his head.

Lady Nefertiti: enjoy reading.

-Clearing-

Inuyasha got out of his crater and brushed himself off with a huff and then pointed at his brother saying "You know when I go to punch someone you're supposed to hold still until I can see a nice bruise on your pathetic face!" Sesshomaru didn't even bat an eyelash at him and just said a 'hn.' Which pissed Inuyasha off even more. Of course with someone who was accustomed to being yelled at (like if Kouga or Kagome were angry with him) Sesshomaru's lack of saying anything to Inuyasha pissed him off even more. Inuyasha glared at his half-brother with disgust. Why couldn't he have that kind of power?! People respected and feared his pathetic older brother just because he was full demon didn't they? And his brother didn't even care! He didn't even care about that! He just knew he was all that...without even trying. So did that make him jealous? Surely not!

"Something the matter hanyou?" Sesshomaru asked him. No response from Inuyasha who was staring at his brother with a strange expression.

"Hanyou." Sesshomaru said more firmly. How dare the whelp ignore him and stare at this Sesshomaru!? Kagome coughed loudly and Inuyasha broke out of his trance.

"It's INU-YASHA!!" Inuyasha yelled at him.

"Don't yell at Sesshomaru! He didn't do anything to you!" Kagome said defending him.

"Why are you defending the enemy?! Where exactly do you're loyalties lie?!" Kikyo demanded.

"You did not just question my..." Kagome started. Damn but not even Inuyasha made her this angry!

-Catfight-

"Shut-Up! What do you know! You're dead...dummy!" Kagome said in an angry tone.

"Why you little unholy piece of..." Kikyo started.

"You of all people, no matter how stupid or how dead you are, should know that Sesshomaru is far better looking and more powerful than Inuyasha!" Kagome said.

"My Inuyasha is far better!" Kikyo said. "You just use him and break his heart and use his affections!"

They both glared at each other and pulled her sleeves back.

By now Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had stopped quarrelling and were watching the catfight with mild interest, like it was a tennis match. Of course they'd stop them before things got dangerous. After all Kagome was already injured.

"You wanna piece of me?!" Kagome growled.

"Bring it on!" Kikyo said.

Like now...

Sesshomaru glared at Kikyo and picked her up by the collar growling at her audacity to raise her voice to Kagome.

"Don't ever address Kagome again, Dead miko. A shame you already are dead." Sesshomaru said in his frosty cold voice which made Kagome shiver even though it wasn't directed at her. She sure hoped that it never did either...

"Put Kikyo down you bastard! You think you can walk in here and take control of both my Miko's?!" Inuyasha yelled transforming his sword and pointing it at him.

"SIT!" Kagome said from where she was sitting. It was routine.

(BOOM!)

Baka hanyou. He didn't care about her swollen ankle at all did he? He just got himself into trouble over nothing all the time. Perhaps it was a good thing that Sesshomaru was here. "Sesshomaru please put Kikyo down." Kagome said in a weary voice and Sesshoamru dropped her next to the fallen Inuyasha.

Miroku chuckled at Inuyasha's audacity and shook his head. Come to think of him why had he (Sesshomaru) come here all of a sudden? Surely he had better things to do like kill people who trespassed on his lands and stuff like that? By the way...where was his Sango? She had missed all the fun of the catfight. Oh but then she would've wanted to intervene wouldn't she?

-With Sango-

(BOOM!)

She sighed heavily as she walked towards the clearing. Great. He had been sat again. It was routine for Kagome to sit Inuyasha but maybe she wouldn't go home this time because she had Sesshomaru to make her feel better? She walked into the clearing and saw a fallen Inuyasha and Kikyo on her bottom, Miroku looking very smug and amused as hell, and Sesshomaru sitting next to Kagome as he examined her ankle, Kagome giggling when he touched a 'tickling spot' on her foot.

"Uhm...did I miss something?" Sango said.

Lady Nefertiti: Next chapter should be up soon!
