Sleeping with the Enemy

Lady Nefertiti

Chapter 20: Putting one's foot down part 1

-Sesshomaru and Kagome-

"What?" Kagome asked him as they entered the clearing. He didn't answer her. Where was that useless maid of Kagome's? He didn't hire that Yumi girl to go running off doing god-knew-what with people and that half-breed was missing too. No surprise there. Both were probably busy...damn but his little brother would never change...Maybe it would be better if he sent them both of them on thier way...Kagome always had that Slayer, Sango with her and they didn't need extra. "What are you thinking about Sesshomaru?" Kagome said.

"I was thinking about Sango and Yumi and that..." Sesshomaru started only to be cut off by a very pissed off looking Kagome. What did he do?

"What?" Kagome hissed. "You've got some nerve there buddy!" and pointed at him.

'...' What was Kagome saying? Oh wait...she was jealous huh? and he grinned inwardly. Hmm...This could work to his advantage..but he wasn't prepared for what came next. Kagome gave a little war-cry and then jumped Sesshomaru from behind and caught him around the neck, hanging against him, her feet dangling a couple of feet from the ground. And all the while she was clinging to him for dear life and she still had the ability to berate him that he was being a bad boy...

"Sesshomaru baka! How dare you! baka! to think that you of all people! baka! Getting tired of me huh? baka! I am your mate baka!" Kagome started to tug at his hair then to get his attention. "Baka! You're not even paying attention to your beloved!"

'Oh no she didn't...she touched this Sesshomaru's pristine silky silver pretty hair...' he thought.

'What is mate doing?' his beast said.

'I don't know but we'll humor her for the time being, after all this is quite entertaining.' Sesshomaru said to his beast.

'Hn.' His beast said. He'd rather have Kagome alone at a time like this...would've made things more interesting, well one couldn't have everything.

"You think you can have everything? baka! just because you think you're all high and mighty? baka! Will you care if I dissappear and never return? baka! Hell, I'd sit you to hell if I could!baka! you know what baka? I'm going HOME cause no one here cares about me especially you (poke) you're being a two-timer baka! (Poke) No telling how many fema..." but then Kagome gasped when Sesshomaru plucked her from behind him and brought her eye level to him and blue stared into amber for a minute. uh-oh...was he perhaps mad? he wrapped his arms around her waist, nuzzling her neck and she stilled...hmmm it didn't seem like it.

"Kagome... my Koi, my little one, do you really think there's anyone else in the world for me besides you?" Sesshomaru started in a soothing voice. "And after all we've been through you still question me and my loyalty? You wound me with your accusations...You know I would never go against my honor and do something like that." And then he whispered, "Sleeping with the enemy seems alright though huh? But then again I'm not you're enemy am I?" and his eyes twinkled at Kagome's cherry red blush. He then kissed her forehead lightly. He didn't really care that other eyes were watching him, they should've already guessed or knew about it anyway. As long as it wasn't Inuyasha, not that he was afraid of him, just plain annoyed. If it wasn't Kikyo that dead miko, it was now that Yumi girl who seemed to know who he (Inuyasha) was from a long time ago.

Yeah it did sound kinda silly didn't it?

-Yumi-

Lord Sesshomaru had thrown his half-brother across, clear across the field. Yumi just hoped he was alright. Not that what her lord did was wrong but perhaps he could show some restraint? This was his brother, the last of the Taisho Clan...'Yeah right I'll probably be killed if I tell the Lord what he did was wrong...' Yumi thought miserably. She looked towards his fallen form and said, "Inuyasha-sama? are you alright?"

"Huh? Whaa? What's going on? That Sesshomaru threw me again didn't he?" Inuyasha said looking up at Yumi, who was bent over looking down at him, with a worried look on her face. "I'm alright. His throws hurt less than Kagome's many sits..." Inuyasha said getting up and brushing himself off.

" Her 'sits'..." Yumi started. So that Kagome held a subjugation over him did she? Lady of the west she might be, but she had no right to have power over Inuyasha now that she had Lord Sesshomaru! What... did she need both of them? Yumi didn't think that Sesshomaru-sama was the sharing type.

"Yeah...Kagome's sits..." Inuyasha said. Then he and Yumi walked towards the clearing together in silence. As they walked towards the camp, Inuyasha heard Sesshomaru talking to Kagome. Come to think of it, the pair HAD been left alone for quite some time. What pray tell were they doing alone together?

'But then again I'm not you're enemy am I?'

WTF? What words was he poisoning Kagome with? Trying to earn her trust? Inuyasha's eyes narrowed and then he froze at what he saw. They were in each others arms...and Kagome was...

"Kagome!You smell like Sesshomaru! and I know why!" Inuyasha said racing towards her. Kagome blinked at Sesshomaru who made no comment on the matter and reluctantly let her go because Inuyasha decided then it was a good idea to turn full demon. Where was the damn sword? Great and now both baka's were going to fight/duke it out. Inuyasha sniffed the air and growled at Kagome? or was it directed towards Sesshomaru?

-Sesshomaru-

He could always kill Inuyasha if he got to close to her, well anyway...

-Kagome-

Baka..."Inuyasha, SIT!"

(BOOM!)

'Hmm.' Yumi thought. She wasn't really thrilled to have Kagome as a western lady. Violent was too put it mildly.

"Kagome...(cough) (cough) I ...sorry..." Inuyasha said from where he was on the ground.

'What was he apologizing for?' Yumi thought.

"Well...you know it started like..." Kagome started lamely and started to fidgit and then Inuyasha said,

"You were touching him and hugging him weren't you?" Inuyasha said coming over. Then Kagome blinked and berated herself. What was she doing? Trying to justify herself in front of him yet again! He was not her father nor her mother! Why should she answer to him?

Well if he wanted to believe that for now she guessed it was okay. "I don't get you sometimes! both of you!" Inuyasha continued. Sesshomaru gave him an interested look to see what his dimwit brother had to say. He always did amuse him. Honestly were hanyou's noses that bad or was Inuyasha just ignoring that fact because he always thought that Kagome was:

1.) Pure and untouched.

2.) His.

3.) Too much of a Good-girl to let other vile and loathesome demons touch her.

4.) At Inuyasha's every disposal.

5.) Would stand by his side till death.

6.) All of the above.

"Indeed." Sesshomaru said.

Inuyasha blinked. Was that a 'yes' indeed or a 'no' indeed?

"Kagome get out of the way so I can slice this bastard in half." Inuyasha said trying to sound scary.

"No. Inuyasha. I have something to tell you and you will accept it!" Kagome said firmly. She was going to put her foot down once and for all!

"What?" Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha it's about Sesshomaru." Kagome said. Sesshomaru gave her a look which said, 'Why are you dragging me into this?' She just shook her head at him.

"What?" Inuyasha repeated.

"You sound very dimwitted there little brother." Sesshomaru said in a conceited voice.
