Chapter 8: Caught
Later turned out to be the next night. And by this time, Inuyasha was practically vibrating with the need to know what was going on.
The explanation took longer than strictly necessary, with the both of them laughing too hard at points to even think about speaking coherently. Inuyasha loved it. He thought that his half-brother deserved this completely. Maybe now he would learn not to mess with Kagome. It took a long time for him to learn, but, in-between the sit's and pranks that she had pulled on him, winding her up was fun.
Though, he had to feel sorry for him, and when he told Kagome this, her wry look in his direction sent him over the edge once again into the realm of laughter.
Unknown to them both, a figure beyond the trees had heard every word. Distantly, he wondered why he hadn't killed them yet. His beast whispered the answer, but he ignored it. Deciding to unnerve the two, he walked toward the two at a leisurely pace. The miko noticed him first, as he had stayed downwind and behind Inuyasha. Her heart rate increased rapidly as she nudged Inuyasha to stop laughing, panicking when he just laughed harder, her eyes rapidly flicking between the stoic Taiyoukai and the laughing hanyou.
Strangely enough, Sesshoumaru noticed that though she acted afraid, she was anything but. Her scent was clear. Even if he hadn't been able to scent her, he could tell by the way her eyes sparkled - sparkled? Why did he think that? - with mirth, the way her lips twitched.
He knew he was taken out the hideous, hideous ribbon. He wasn't referring to the fabric - that was lovely -, he was referring to the colour.
Keeping his expression stoic, he asked, "What was that about me, miko?"
Inuyasha immediately stopped laughing and he and Kagome looked at each other in barely suppressed horror and dread as one thought filtered through both their minds.
Busted.
Well, there you have it. Kagome has been caught and Inuyasha will be the one to pay for it. [Insert evil laugh here] After all, wasn't he the one who she told it to, which then travelled to our favourite Youkai Lord's ears? I believe it was. I'm thinking about turning this into a romance as well as humour - what do you think? Let me know!
