Last Time ;

"Hello?" She spoke into the phone.

"Why, hello there Kagome" Spoke a velvety voice.

Kagome opened her mouth but couldn't form words. She let the phone fall to the floor as it landed with a quiet "thump" against the carpet.

Kagome sat dumbfounded in her chair as she stared at the phone on the floor.

She began to grow hot with anger. She swiftly picked up the phone to bark an angry

"What the hell do you want?" into the phone. She heard the voice chuckle.

"Nothing but a few minutes of your time I assure you , oh feisty one."

"How the hell did you get my number you narcissistic, pompous-"

"Oh, there is no need for insults I assure you, I simply called on request of your so called best friend."

"Inuyasha" She literally growled into the phone. The voice on the other side of the phone laughed.

"Hmm your a lot smarter than I took you for."

"Cant say I feel the same"

There was a long pause after that. Kagome thought that he had hung up or that maybe the call had

Been dropped. She was disappointed, though, when the voice came back.

"Listen" Spoke Sesshomaru with an almost deadly tone in his voice. The hair on her back stood on end for the longest time.

"I hate this almost as much as you do, but unless you want Inuyasha to constantly bother you then I suggest we at least make an effort to try and like each other, even though that is indeed that very last thing you and I both want. But it is useless to go against Inuyasha, we both know that unless he gets something productive out of you that he wont stop bothering me. So if you know what is very much best for you then I suggest you stop being such a grouch an at least pretend to like me."

Kagome sat there without words to say. She tried opening her mouth a few times but no words wanted to come out.

"Hmph, I'm glad you see it my way, Miss. Higurashi, now if you excuse me I have much more important matters to attend to."

Kagome heard the end tone as Sesshomaru hung up the phone. She stared dumbfounded at the phone. She was embarrassed. Embarrassed and ashamed that she hadn't stuck up for herself. She stifled and grunt as she griped the phone in her hands and threw it against the wall. It helped her feel a lot better until she realized that her phone had broken into a million tiny pieces.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?!" Screamed at Inuyasha at the very indifferent Sesshomaru.

"Well, whatever do you mean dear, Inuyasha?" He replied calmly.

"YOU PISSED KAGOME OFF AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT YOU DID!"

"I did nothing of the sort."

"DO YOU NOT THINK I HEARD THE CONVERSATION?"

"I'd sure hope not, that would be an extreme invasion of privacy."

Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru

"I'm here trying to help you finally be happy and you ruin it all by pissing off all the girls I happen to set you up with…"

"She's only one girl Inuyasha-"

"She's a lot more than just some girl."

"Oh really? Then why don't you date her?"

Inuyasha stared at the ground trying to distract away from Sesshomaru's question. Sesshomaru took the hint and continued with the former conversation.

"Inuyasha I know you have some big fantasy that includes me and Kagome getting married and having children and what not, but that's all in fairy tales I'm afraid."

Inuysha's continued to stare at the floor.

"And well," Sesshomaru continued, " I would think that you being at such a grown age would understand that."

"Whatever.." Was Inuysha's cool reply.

There was a long silence and soon all that could be heard was the two inu-youkai's breathing. Both found the silence suffocating but neither knew how to break it.

"You say that all that crap is in fairy tales…" Inuyasha started of quietly. "But maybe the only reason you don't want to give Kagome a chance because you, oh Mr. High And Freaking Mighty, are afraid of one little thing."

Sesshomaru scoffed, "And what might that be oh wise one?" He replied with notable sarcasm.

"Love." Was Inuysha's reply accompanied by a grin.

For a second the oldest Inu-youkai's eyes flashed red but in a short matter of time they regained their cold, golden exterior.

Suddenly before any human eyes could catch it, Inuyasha was violently thrown against the wall face to face with a very angry Sesshomaru.

-x-

Kagome sullenly walked down the stairs cursing Sesshomaru and Inuyasha every step. They had the nerve of the devil himself. She could not wait to get her hands on Inuyasha on Monday, boy would she ever let him -

"Hey sis," Called a cheerful Shippou from his place in front of the television.

Kagome grunted a hello and walked into the kitchen when she heard Shippou mumble something about women and their constant mood swings. On a normal occasion Kagome would have stormed into the living room and given Shippou the noogie of his life but at this moment she wasn't quite up for it. Her mind was to focused on other subjects. Kagome listened closely as she heard the television shut off and saw a very confused Shippou walk through the kitchen doors.

"What's your problem today?" He asked with a heavy frown.

"Nothing," was all Kagome mumbled.

Shippou stared at her face, eyes boring into hers as if trying to read something that was somehow being hidden.

"Your lying," he whispered.

"Your crazy," Kagome replied.

"I may only be twelve sis, but I'm smart enough to recognize your behaviour patterns."

Kagome stared at him with mild shock drawing at her eyes.

Shippou just stared at her with his innocent green eyes, with depths that a person could easily find themselves lost in. Kagome always envied him for that. He had such unique and beautiful eyes and features, mainly because of his wolf demon in him. Her mother used to say that Shippou resembled their father so much. Shippou even had the same red brown musty hair and the "adorable" fox ears everybody found themselves drawn too. Kagome had gotten the short end of the stick, with raven colored hair and regular brown eyes. She looked about as human as anyone walking the streets of Tokyo despite the fact that she too was a fox demon. Kagome had gotten most of her traits from her father. But in personality Kagome's mother had always said that Kagome was more like her father with her iron will and stubbornness. Shippou was more sensitive and more aware of the people's feelings around him like their mother.

Kagome broke the gaze that she had been locked in and turned the opposite way. She hated getting like that. There was no point in worrying Shippou with her "girl drama".

"Well if you're going to be that way now, then I'll be here later when you finally decide to talk," Remarked Shippou with an exaggerated sigh. Shippou had also been more of a drama queen although no one really knew where that came from. Their mother had jokingly said it was from spending too much time with Inuyasha but Kagome was beginning to think it was true.
