The Coffee Corner: Ah…another drabble by your one and only. XD I'm sorry for the extremely sluggish updates around these days…since school has started and all, life's been piled up with tests, projects, homework, etc. Actually, I'm not even supposed to be writing this, considering I don't have the time to write a decent drabble even if my life depended on it. XP Ah, well, I'll suck it up. But you all better appreciate it ;-) Don't worry…I'm joking. Okay, enough talking by me. Read and enjoy :-)
Dedication: This drabble is dedicated to AquaCrystalQT and daydream14. Thanks to AquaCrystal's lovely suggestion for a Part Two to The Kissing Philosophy, and a much needed thanks and hugs and kisses to daydream14 for ALWAYS reviewing… Goodness, you two always make my day! ::hugs AquaCrystal and daydream very tightly::

Genre(s): Semi-fluff, attempted humour, teeny-eensy-weeny smut-implication – it's barely there.
Warning(s): Confusing title of drabble (unless you get it XD), language, probably some OOCness.

Summary: The InuYasha gang soon runs into Sesshomaru, which initiates chaos. In order to ease the tension around the two blood brothers, Kagome makes a suggestion. Who knew a little piece of candy could shock them all?
Scene Seven: The KISSING Perfection?!
(Part Two of The Kissing Philosophy)
"He's near," came the low growl from the figure clad in a startling red. His companions stiffened momentarily, before soon relaxing as they eyed their leader confidently, entirely ensured that InuYasha would protect them from any incoming danger. The inu-hanyou's nose sniffed harshly, his nostrils widening for one long whiff, before molten golden eyes widened in surprise as a sneer adorned his boyishly charming voice. "And Kagura's with him…"
"Wait, you mean with Sesshomaru?" the teen dressed in her green and white school uniform exclaimed incredulously, shooting the monk, demon slayer, and her protector with startled glances. "What's she doing with him?" InuYasha growled threatening, glaring venomously at the area before them.
"Maybe…maybe they're romantically involved," reported Miroku solemnly with a smirk, which soon earned him a hard smack on the back of the head from his future-bride, scolding him for thinking such a ridiculous idea. "Okay then, maybe not." His bead-and-cloth-covered rubbed gingerly at the sore spot behind his noggin.
True to InuYasha' word, out came Sesshomaru and Kagura, walking together casually, their appearances contrasting brightly against one another. The daiyoukai's vassal, his ward, and his two-headed dragon followed loyally behind the couple, the kappa and the girl bickering most annoyingly as the dragon youkai rolled their eyes in irritation.
Sesshomaru remained as unfazed by his half-brother's presence, but the petite woman beside him smirked most arrogantly, pulling out her long fan and pressing the closed tip towards her nose, her classic stance.
"Sesshomaru, you bastard!" began InuYasha, right hand curled protectively on the hilt of his Tetsuseiga, body positioned for attack. "What the hell are you doing here? And why the fuck is Kagura with you?" Kagome nodded in agreement, her confusion evident in her scrunched up features. The monk and the slayer remained ready, willing to back up InuYasha in his battle with his brother if needed.
"Foolish little brother," smirked the older inu youkai as Kagura snapped open her weapon, fanning herself in the process, the lower portion of her face hidden to the InuYasha-tachi. Sesshomaru and his group were now directly in front of InuYasha and his companion, the height and power difference evident between the two brothers. Sesshomaru was at least a good half of a foot taller than the younger brother, and his composure suggested to everyone around him that he was a confident and powerful youkai. Luckily, he lived up to his reputation. "We are not here to spar or battle, half-breed. Now, let us pass."
InuYasha eyed his "family member" warily, and glanced, puzzled, at Kagura, noticing how close she stood against Sesshomaru, almost leaning against him.
"InuYasha, I see no point for unnecessary combat. Let's just let them go, alright?" the monk piped up from behind, lowering his staff as he eyed the foreign couple in front of them with an expressionless face. "But, I must ask, why is Kagura with you, Sesshomaru?"
"This Sesshomaru has nothing to say to you," came the stoic reply. Kagura beside him snorted, and lowered her fan sluggishly, grinning slightly. "Now move, hanyou."
Suddenly…
"SHIPPO-CHAN!!" Squeals and laughter sounded from behind the large dragon youkai; causing the small kitsune to blush lightly he flashed Rin a happy smile. "You're HERE! Let's play! Let's play, okay? Okay?" Kagome turned around, giving her young son-like friend a questioning glance. "Sesshomaru-sama, can Rin play with Shippo-chan, please? Oh please?"
"You ignorant fool!" screamed Jaken from behind the leg of Sesshomaru, his staff waving wildly in the air. "We have no time for this! We have to – aahh!" Sango winced inwardly as the great inu daiyoukai kicked the unsuspecting kappa mindlessly to the side, silencing him.
"You go ahead, Rin," coaxed Kagura as she shot the younger girl a smile (which really, really confused the InuYasha-tachi). Sesshomaru nodded towards his little and young ward, which in return she suddenly glomped the right leg of the elder brother tightly before bounding off towards Shippo, running underneath InuYasha's spread out legs in the process.
"Wha – Hey!" protested the surprised hanyou as his eyes followed the girl who ran underneath his parted legs. Both Kagura and Kagome giggled softly at the human's antics.
The two children ran off towards a little patch of a field, hand in hand, as they laughed and giggled at whatever people their age found amusing.
The air sizzled hotly in between the two inu brothers' heated stares, sparkling occasionally as invisible lasers shot out from either pairs of eyes, frying the head of the person in front of them.
All figuratively speaking, of course.
The atmosphere around the group of nine companions was tense, the awkwardness around them so thick that even Tetsuseiga itself couldn't slice through it. Only Kagura seemed truly content and comfortable, sitting and leaning casually against the right side of the daiyoukai, as she watched over the kitsune and the human play joyously not too far away. Sesshomaru remained as stoic as ever, his back against that of a large and rough trunk of a humungous tree, almost seeming to enjoy Kagura's close contact. Kagome sat beside InuYasha, separated by at least six inches, watching the scowling face of her (still unaware) love with worry. Sango and Miroku leaned together as well, Kirara resting peacefully, napping, in the warm lap of the exterminator.
Jaken was off with the children, making sure that Rin was not in any danger (by the command of Sesshomaru, of course).
"Um…" began the futuristic miko hesitantly, tugging at the hem of her short green sailor skirt. Kagura eyed her with an amused expression. "Uh…"
"Kagome, would ya shut up? You sound like a fuckin' idiot." Kagura laughed at InuYasha's comment, but was rewarded with a dark look in return by the hanyou. Kagome fumed in humiliation.
A few minutes of silence passed…
"Hey!" cheered a suddenly happy Kagome, pouncing on her yellow travelling bag as she began furiously rummaging through the almost impossible parcel. "Sesshomaru! I challenge you to a…challenge," finished the reincarnation lamely, from the lack of a more appropriate word. The graceful youkai in front of them raised in eyebrow in humour, while Kagura laughed full-throatily. Kagome held out a small piece of candy towards the Lord of the Western Lands, its wrapper signalling that it was orange-flavoured. She desperately hoped that this activity would ease the tension around them.
"What is that?" pointed Kagura.
"It's a piece of candy! Listen, Sesshomaru, I want you to unwrap this piece of candy with your tongue – or teeth, if needed," remembered Kagome absently. "The faster you complete this task, the better. Let's see if you can beat our time…and InuYasha's time…" Kagome smiled suggestively, and nearly fainted in relief as Sesshomaru reached for the candy.
InuYasha nearly gloated, remembering all the practicing that he and Kagome had been doing, which enabled him to earn the title of Champion Tongue Kisser with the time of one minute and twenty point two-eight seconds (he had beat Miroku, which the monk was not happy about). Of course…it had taken a LOT of practicing – not that either Kagome or InuYasha minded.
"What time did my little brother receive?"
"Around one minute and twenty seconds," informed the hanyou proudly. "Beat that, ya sadistic bastard!"
Everyone watched intently as the daiyoukai placed the candy into his mouth, and as soon as Kagome yelled Go! while starting the timer, InuYasha's anticipation grew.
"Done," the lord supplied as Kagura gave him an amused stare, watching him spit out (ever-so-gracefully) the crinkled orange wrapper. "This is…quite a pleasant piece of sweet rock candy."
Kagome's eyes nearly popped out of her sockets! Only after twenty-five seconds…
InuYasha was FUMING. FUMING while seeing red…
Both Sango and the miko blushed, just imagining what kind of potential Sesshomaru's tongue could have. Oh my GOD!
"You know," purred Kagura seductively towards the InuYasha-tachi with a wink. "That isn't the only amazing thing Sesshomaru can do with his tongue…"
The daiyoukai smirked at her.
"Told you they were romantically involved," murmured the monk lowly towards the furiously blushing Sango, who was currently still contemplating Kagura's implied innuendo in her mind.
Kagome never tried the kissing philosophy on anyone ever again.
And…CUT!
The Coffee Corner: Review please! XD
