"You're an asshole."
Sesshomaru glared at his accuser, his eyes cold. "I did nothing."
A snarl, a flash of teeth, a swish of a tail. "What the hell's your problem?"
"You do not belong here." Sesshomaru stood in front of the entrance to the miko's hut, guarding the terrified child inside. He glared at the man before him. He needs to leave.
"The hell I don't!" Blue eyes snapped with irritation. "I came to see my woman!"
His wo- He quickly cut that thought off, refusing to acknowledge those words. As much as he ignored his own feelings toward Kagome, slight though those feeling were, he still didn't like the idea of someone else vying for her attentions. "Use your nose," he commanded coolly. "She is no longer here."
"Liar!"
Sesshomaru was almost ready to draw his sword and force the fool to leave when Inuyasha suddenly approached them, inadvertently saving the wolf's hide. "He ain't lyin', Koga," the hanyou said calmly, his hands in his sleeves. "She went home months ago."
Koga's tail drooped as he glanced between the two brothers. "You're serious…?"
"Yeah, now would you shut up?" Inuyasha all but snapped, his calm demeanor from moments before vanishing. "Can't you tell you're freaking people out with all your damn yelling?"
Koga finally seemed to catch the scent of fear emanating from the hut at the taiyoukai's back. He scoffed and rolled his eyes, jerking a thumb at Sesshomaru. "You sure it's not because of him?"
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. How dare he imply…
"Trust me, it ain't 'cause of him," Inuyasha said simply.
Koga scented the air again. "It's a kid," he muttered with a frown. "Not that I'm saying I believe you, but why would a kid be scared of me?"
Inuyasha growled at her. "You killed her, idiot!"
Koga's eyes widened in shock before narrowing angrily. "What?! No! I never-"
"You take responsibility for your wolves, and they screwed up big time," Inuyasha told him seriously cutting him off.
"You are lucky I don't kill you for it." Sesshomaru's threat was clear, and Koga took a few wary steps back. Kagome's face popped into the taiyoukai's mind. If she had never claimed this fool as her friend… He growled softly. "Leave. Before I change my mind."
Hesitating for only a second, Koga bounced lightly on the balls of his feet before turning tail and fleeing from the village. The brothers watched him go in agitated silence for a long moment. Inuyasha was the first to break the tension, a smirk spreading across his face. "Keh. I've been tryin' to make him do that for years."
