Please read and REVIEW! Also thank you "tiffyhatake" for your advice!
It had been three days since Sesshomaru's warning and InuYasha was getting paranoid. It seemed that Sesshomaru had forgotten all about his threat but InuYasha wasn't taking any chances. All that had changed was that Sesshomaru seemed to be paying a lot more attention to Kagome. It was nothing big just complementing on her meals, helping her clean up, and stopping InuYasha from beating the pulp out of Shippo, though he really deserved it, when he teased InuYasha about having a crush on Sesshomaru, putting his hand on her lower back to help her along. It wouldn't bother him so much if Kagome didn't respond so much. It was like all she could do was grin, blush and flirt. If one could tell it seemed that InuYasha was jealous of her. "I do not like Sesshomaru, he rude, crude... evil... handsome… erotic… WHOA, where in the world did that come from! Even I admit he's handsome but hell will freeze over before I admit he's erotic!" InuYasha was once again sitting on the sacred tree thinking. He just couldn't figure out what Sesshomaru was planning and what was Kagome's part? He knew that even though Kagome had a crush on Sesshomaru she wasn't the type of girl to be easily seduced. He knew that because once, a village boy she had taken a liking to tried that once.
The next day the group set out again in search of the jewel shards. Sesshomaru and Kagome where in the lead, followed by Miroku, Sango, and Shippo while InuYasha was in the back. He began to notice Kagome was blushing and giggling at something Sesshomaru must have said.
"Thank you so much Sesshomaru, you really are very nice when you want to be!" Kagome said.
"I am not being kind I am just stating the truth, you are a very beautiful woman and I am surprised you have not been claimed yet." Sesshomaru replied with a smirk, his eyes glanced at InuYasha. "In fact I have been meaning to ask you something."
"What is it Sesshomaru?" "O my goodness this is it!" Kagome thought.
"I was wondering if you had any objection to me courting you."
"WHAT!!"
InuYasha couldn't believe he was hearing this! He now knew what Sesshomaru was doing! He was using Kagome to get on InuYasha's nerves and he knew he couldn't say anything to him because of the others. Unfortunately for InuYasha his hot temper and mouth got in the way of his judgment.
"You can't court her!" InuYasha yelled stamping up to Sesshomaru.
"And why can't I, InuYasha?" Sesshomaru replied with another smirk.
"Yuh" InuYasha just realized his mistake. Now he had to come up with a reason as to why his brother couldn't court Kagome and fast. Sesshomaru took advantage of that.
"Well InuYasha why shouldn't I court lady Kagome? You seem very certain that I shouldn't'." Sesshomaru said leaning forward. "You couldn't be jealous could you little brother?"
"As if, why would I be jealous of you, Kagome is my friend!" InuYasha said not realizing his last and worst mistake.
"If you are not jealous of me who are you jealous of?"
"What do you think!" InuYasha retorted.
"I, I think you are jealous that you thought I was going to court Lady Kagome, that's why you reacted like that wasn't I InuYasha?" Sesshomaru was suddenly too close for comfort.
"Tell me InuYasha what is your problem?" Sesshomaru asked.
"None of your business!"
"Answer me InuYasha what is your problem?" Sesshomaru pressed
"No!"
"Tell Me!"
"Go to Hell!" He turned around.
"InuYasha!"
"Fine, my problem is I'm in love with you!" InuYasha turned around and faced Sesshomaru, and what he did shocked every one.
He kissed him.
