Damn you! You Dog!

Lady Nefertiti

Last time: "We're leaving." Sesshomaru said. " And make sure Inuyasha doesn't follow us Monk, otherwise he's a goner for sure….."


Chapter 7: A penny for your thoughts….

-Village- (Kaede's hut)

Inuyasha and Miroku sat silently by the fire, Inuyasha mostly glaring at Miroku.

"Inuyasha…" Miroku began.

"Shut-it Monk, I don't want to hear anything you say…" Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, just to let you know that I don't believe for a second that you could've done something so vile and disgusting to Kagome-sama. It doesn't matter if it was true or not…. But Sesshomaru only did it as a safety precaution."

Inuyasha didn't answer him.

A tense silence….

A sound then….

"INUYASHA MUTT-FACE! YOU REALLY HAVE NO BRAIN AT ALL DO YOU? YOU….YOU LET HER GO WITH HIM…..HE'S GONNA KILL HER…HE'S GONNA DO DIRTY THINGS TO HER….IT'S A PLOT FOR THAT BLASTED SWORD OF YOURS ISN'T IT? KAGOME DOESN'T DESERVE ANY OF THIS CRAP….AND YOU KNOW IT!…..I…."

"Shut up, Kouga." Inuyasha said to him as he stared into the fire. Kouga gave him a strange look, not believing that he hadn't yelled like he always did. It was unnerving him.

"Sesshomaru will keep her safe… after all, Sango went with her as well..…" Inuyasha said, not believing he'd actually said that and Kouga's mouth fell open.

" That's the spirit. You see that wasn't so hard to admit right?" Miroku said calmly. Inuyasha didn't respond but looked dejectedly into the fire. 'I'm not going to lose her.' He thought angrily.

' but for now…..Fine, if she wanted to go...then let her go….' Inuyasha thought.

A voice came from behind them and it said inwardly, 'Yes, that's right…..Inuyasha would never do anything like that and he didn't do anything vile to Kagome….it was my fault. Pity though, Kagome's never going to trust you again…'

-With Sesshomaru, Kagome and Sango-

They made their way silently towards the west, no one uttering a word, well no one really knowing what to say to the other really. Sango still couldn't believe that Sesshomaru had said something nice to her….

-Kagome's thoughts-

'Who cares? Kagome doesn't NEED R and R with him!'

'Can't have R and R without company can you?'

'Kagome better be in one-piece….and don't you go and have se….'

-End Kagome's thoughts-

She blushed, thanking the fact that she had stopped Inuyasha just in time before he uttered that three letter word, after all….Sesshomaru didn't like her like that. 'Sex….' She thought vaguely. She flushed red and stared at Sesshomaru's back. Then she stared at the ground, as dirty thoughts crossed her mind….she didn't notice the fact that Sesshomaru had turned around, looking at her wondering why her scent had changed.

-With Sesshomaru's thoughts-

Well he would've preferred to just go to his home with JUST Kagome….

but if she felt comfortable with the demon-slayer coming along, then it was fine with him too….

She'd gotten so flustered when Inuyasha had embarrassed her. He would've preferred killing him right there, but it was something Kagome didn't want. He knew what Inuyasha was going to say, and he was appalled that Inuyasha would even suggest something like that not that he was complaining….. He'd never understood why the little Miko was not afraid of him, rather she'd love to kick his butt and tell him what the bloody hell she thought of him…

'Maybe I'm losing my touch….' He thought.

-End Sesshomaru's thoughts-

"Kagome." He said, breaking her out of her thoughts.

"What?!" She said looking around. "What happened?"

He smirked inwardly, he wasn't about to chuckle in front of Sango, that was for Kagome and Kagome alone….

"What's the matter?" he asked her. He already knew that her scent had changed because she'd been aroused about something. Then he frowned suddenly, what or rather WHO had she been thinking of? Another demon or human male?

She'd encountered many demons while fighting…could it have been that wolf, Kouga, with his constant claims of her? And she had probably decided to give in, thinking that's as good as it was gonna get? He didn't want her to degrade herself to any weakling demon…..Or perhaps it was his own flea-bitten half-good-for-nothing brother, Inuyasha. He was starting do become a big problem…..

"Nothing." She said. 'It's nothing, at all…' Sure like she was gonna tell him that she was thinking dirty things about him…..right….

'DAMN him!' she said, looking straight at him. 'Why couldn't he have been the ugly brother with zits, fat and everything?' 'NOO…. He just had to be tall, well-built, smooth features….and a sexy voice to top it all off!' She growled inwardly ripping her gaze from him dangerous, too good to be true, gold eyes.

Sango looked at the both of them curiously. She'd been a slayer for quite some time and she knew of human-demon relationships and they weren't easy….She herself had been in love with one, however, his father had forbidden his son from marrying/mating her and a DEMON-SLAYER at that too? And now she wondered what she could do about these two. What luck it had been that she was coming along with the both of them…

'Or perhaps they don't need my help?' she thought. Maybe Sesshomaru had already had an intended mate? And he'd scoff if she'd even suggested Kagome to him? She'd just have to read their actions and see….

What Sango didn't know was that she'd have someone to help her at the western palace with her 'Mission-Get –Sesshomaru- and- Kagome together…..Who was nicknamed the 'red devil…..' to all who knew her.

-With the said red devil- (Western palace)

She was lounging in Sesshomaru's study in front of the fireplace, red curly hair spilling from all directions. Green eyes looked bored as she poked the fireplace, her book left forgotten on the couch. Surely there was something else she could do to kill time right? Where was all of the action?! 'Ha! What if I told my mate that I'm having an affair with someone because I was being neglected and was ever so unhappy!?' She frowned into the fire. 'Nah…bad idea…he'd go and kill the innocent demon.'

Her mate had left her here in Sesshomaru's palace while he was off... 'killing someone' she supposed. He didn't want to leave her alone at their palace while there was no one around to protect her. It was always... 'I know you can take care of yourself, dear...of course you can! but this is only for your safety...I love you and I don't want you to get hurt... 'Or kidnapped' she thought to herself poking the fire viciously.

'He doesn't believe that I can take care of myself!' she thought inwardly. 'Sure... he gets to go wherever he wants...' she frowned and knew something needed to be done.

'And now Sesshomaru disappeared too...' she huffed angrily. What the hell was wrong with male demons these days? She'd always loved to make his life a living nightmare, telling him what he did wrong, berating him that he should find a mate soon before he got old and ugly.

She wreaked havoc in his castle, confusing the guards when they came looking for her, because she 'bounced' around all over the place so to speak.

Now he wasn't even here either so she couldn't do anything ! 'Grr...' she'd make him pay...she'd make them both pay... she wasn't used to being bored.
