Inuyasha watched from a high branch as his best friend and half-brother continued to argue over her cooking. Usually it was he who would be the one making comments for the special dishes she worked so hard on and yet…Here he was, in a tree, watching from afar as the two bickered and ranted over the small petty details at their picnic. He would lie if he said he wasn't the least bit jealous.

"Human food is already horrid, why must you make it worse?"

Kagome swore if he wasn't a head taller than her she would have already started to strangle his large neck.

"Horrid? Well I'm sorry that we don't eat our meat soaked in fresh blood. We prefer the cooked flavor!"

"I do not eat living humans, I am not a barbarian."

"…Living? Am I to suspect you eat them dead then? That doesn't make much difference…"

"Don't be ridiculous. Humans are dirty so only dirty demons could ever eat them and enjoy it."

"Oh how kind of you."

"This maybe dead human however" Sesshomaru spat as he held up a long piece of meat. " …repulsive."

"…It is called a hotdog!"

"So you enjoy the texture of dogs do you Miko?"

"Gah! Not an actual dog you sadistic jerk! It is made of many different meats like beef and pork…A weenie!"

"Hn. This Sesshomaru does not eat weenies Miko. However, I find it interesting you do."

Silence was followed by a shrill scream that echoed off many trees and hills, hurting the ears of the young hanyou male. Inuyasha knew Sesshomaru had been teasing the young woman, intrigued by the responses in her actions and words. He hated how easily he could bait his friend and how alive his golden orbs became as she dangled from his hook. He knew it was only a matter of time before Kagome became aware at how his brothers eyes followed her every move day and night and how emotional he would become once they have their hourly talks. Only a blind man could miss it.

"Than again she just maybe blind. If I am lucky, she'll stay that way."

He watched on in dismay as Sesshomaru smirked at the now blushing Miko who still ranted and raved about how much of a jerk he really was. He had not clue as to why she had been blushing, but guessed it had something to do with their previous conversation.

"She's so naïve and innocent…He'll break her willpower and get her to submit if this carries on for much longer…I'll be sure to stop it before it ever gets that far."

Inuyasha made the small promise in his heart as the two pack mates carried on with their banter, completely unaware of the pair of golden eyes watching.

'Sesshomaru…You bastard.'
