Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

A/N: Thank you to all of those who reviewed, added Twice Burned to their alerts or favorites, and of course read it. You guys keep me writing this and I am always surprised that people are reading this story. Anyways back to the story.

Kagura stood there staring blankly at Kouga's sincere face. 'Say something Kagura! He's expecting an answer. Start moving that mouth of yours!' Kagura shouted inside of her head.

Kouga stood there patiently looking into her eyes like he could see something behind them. Some sort of an answer. His blue eyes were unnerving

Then Kagura did the kind of reaction that she feared she wouldn't do. The wind mistress laughed.

"Kouga, I really…do have a-a boyfriend," Kagura said trying to smother her giggles as best she could.

"Kagura, don't lie to me," the wolf demon said looking hurt.

Then the next worst thing that could happen did.

"Let go of my Kagura," Sesshomaru commanded, bursting into the room from seemingly nowhere.

Kagura inwardly groaned as Kouga turned towards the seething dog demon. Surprise was clearly written all over the wolf demon's face. His hand still held onto Kagura's and when she tried to move it he held on tighter.

"Did you not hear me wolf? Let go of what is mine," Sesshomaru demanded again.

Kouga turned to Kagura, "You're dating a dog demon?" he spat.

"Yes, she is." Sesshomaru answered before Kagura could reply. The wind witch bit her lip from snapping at the demon Lord's attitude. Kouga would never let her go if she disagreed about who's dating who when she already said that they were.

"I did not ask you," Kouga retorted then turned his attention back to Kagura.

"I told you I had a boyfriend," Kagura said silently, praying that Sesshomaru wouldn't take this situation seriously.

Somehow the wind demoness knew he would.

Kouga slowly dropped Kagura's hand, "I see."

Kagura moved towards the door but Kouga stopped her. "This doesn't mean I'm giving up. I will win you over. You will be my mate,"

"Mate?!" Kagura's red eyes opened wide and Sesshomaru growled.

"Lets go," the dog demon said gruffly. The wind mistress nodded and moved to follow his tall frame.

"Don't forget, Kagura," the wolf demon yelled after them.

Kagura exhaled finally and her shoulders slumped as she walked to the door. 'How could this day get any worse?'

Just as that thought popped into the wind witch's brain someone slammed into her back. She fell onto the hard concrete and, grabbing her fan, pushed the offender off of her with help from the wind.

The attacker started coming after her again but Sesshomaru stood in his way and punched his face with his massive fists. Not wasting any time, the dog demon grabbed the man's shoulder and pushed him down while kneeing him in the gut.

Kagura watched as red started to seep into Sesshomaru's gold-silver eyes, and his claws turn a sickly green color.

Sesshomaru slashed across the man's chest leaving deep red gashes. Not wanting to kill the man or make too much of a scene the demon lord returned his claws to normal.

"How could you be so foolish as to attack what is this Sesshomaru's while I am here?" Sesshomaru questioned the man.

"We-we didn't s-see you enter with her. I t-thought she was-was alone," the attacker stuttered in reply.

Sesshomaru, obviously disgusted, kicked the guy one more time in the gut, then grabbed Kagura's hand and abruptly left for his car.

Kagura swallowed past the lump in her throat, "We need to pick up the girls from the park."

Sesshomaru pushed down the gas pedal and screeched out onto the road. "It's already been taken care of; Kagome is driving your car home."

"Oh," Kagura answered lamely. The wind witch moved and watched out of her red eyes as Sesshomaru took a few turns sharply.

Something was wrong, very, very wrong. Sesshomaru was smirking. This knowledge made Kagura livid.

"You can wipe off that smirk now! I only said the things I did so I wouldn't lead Kouga on," Kagura said.

"Admit it," Sesshomaru demanded.

"There is nothing to admit, I don't even know what the hell you're talking about!" the wind mistress swung around in the seat so she was facing the window.

"You like me," The dog demon said and Kagura could hear the smile in his voice.

"Shut up," she hissed back.

Sesshomaru said nothing more but he reeked of satisfaction.

Kagura jumped out of the car after it just barely stopped. She needed to get away from this and go to her room for some quiet time and possible reading. As much as she hated to admit it, Sesshomaru had hit the nail on the head in getting Kagura that book, but then, it was about a wind demoness.

OooooOOOooOOOOoooOOOoOOOOoooOOOooOOoooOOooOOOooOOOoOOOoOOOooO

Kagome was sitting in the T.V room with Inuyasha when she heard Kagura's voice down the hall calling for Kanna.

"She's in her room," Kagome yelled out the door and heard Kagura's footsteps change direction and walk towards her.

"Hey Kagome, sorry I left you guys at the park." Kagura said flopping down on the couch next to her.

"It was no problem, but what was it about? Sesshomaru just told us that you would explain it," the miko said glancing at Inuyasha who was totally immersed in the T.V show.

"I bet he did." Kagura paused, "Kouga asked me out, and Sesshomaru somehow showed up there right as that happened."

"How did he…" Kagome started to ask but was cut off by Kagura.

"I have no idea, but I aim to find out," the wind demoness said with an evil glint in her eyes.

"Are you suggesting we snoop?" The ebony haired young human inquired.

Kagura nodded her answer, but looked over at Inuyasha questionably. Kagome, following her friend's gaze, grabbed the hanyou's attention by yanking on his ear.

"Inuyasha I know your listening to us," Kagome said.

"Keh, like I'd tell that cold bastard anything," Inuyasha replied dryly.

"Good, because you know what happens to bad puppies," Kagome warned.

"Whatever," Inuyasha turned his attention back to the TV.

Kagura slowly sat up, "Meet me at my room at one. Wear all black,"

Kagome nodded in agreement and watched her friend leave the room before letting out a little giggle. This would be like old times when the two of them used to spy on the boys they liked. It made Kagome feel dangerous.

As if hearing her thoughts Inuyasha dryly remarked, "Just don't trip yourself and make a loud noise again."

"Inuyasha, sit." Kagome ordered and smiled when she received a big thud.
