sorry that it's taken so long for me to update. i will warn of a little ooc but explanation will be made

When they finally got to the well, Sesshomaru looked down into it.

"I assume I climb into the well?"

"InuYasha usually jumps into it but whatever floats your boat."

"I do not understand that useless metaphor. You will need to hold on tighter so that you do not fall." He said, walking away from the well.

Kagome was a little confused when Sesshomaru turned and ran toward the well, jumping into the air and feet first into the well. Kagome felt the familiar tickle of the barrier and the small stretch of going through time when they were at the bottom of the well in her time. Sesshomaru looked behind him at her.

"Where to from here?"

"Up."

Sesshomaru braced himself and ran, jumping up on the wall. He made his way up by jumping on either side of the wall all the way up. As he jumped out of the well, he tripped over something in the way and toppled both he and Kagome onto the floor. Kagome hissed in pain because her foot caught the floor when he fell over and made her be in eve more pain. Sesshomaru just laid on the floor, not daring to get up because he could feel a blush on his face and he didn't want Kagome to see it. This Sesshomaru does not get embarrassed. he reminded himself.

"You alright?" Kagome asked.

"I am fine."

"I'm glad you're alright because my leg is killing me now, thank you." She growled.

Sesshomaru finally got himself up and onto his knees. He turned to her as she looked at him with her arms crossed. He lifted an eyebrow at her.

"I do not remember you being so contemptible with my half-brother."

"I'm in a lot of pain and you're sitting there dawdling on the floor taking a nap. InuYasha would have been up and halfway to the house by now."

"I am not InuYasha." He walked over to her and held out his hand. "I do not see what you find so appealing in him anyway. He does not own any land, he is not of royalty, and he is not powerful."

"First of all, I don't care about the land part." She said, balancing on her good foot as Sesshomaru turned for her to get on his back. "Second of all, he is royalty, you just don't want to admit it. And third, he's plenty powerful. He defeated you didn't he?"

"When did that get accomplished?"

"Hello, your arm? Why is it gone? Oh yeah, InuYasha cut it off."

Sesshomaru promptly let Kagome go and she slid off of his back as he turned around.

"Hey! Where are you going?!"

"I assume I can get back the way I came. This Sesshomaru is leaving you to your own frivolous frailties of the foot."

"You can't just leave me here!"

"Even though a hanyou, I am still more superior than you. I do not take orders from you."

"Grrrr! If you were InuYasha I'd tell you to sit!"

"Then it is a good day that I am not my brother."

Kagome watched as he really did leave her in the middle of the courtyard between her house and the shrine. She frowned, crossing her arms but when she saw the light of the well, she knew he really did go back.

Sesshomaru returned from Kagome's world and stepped off of the well side. InuYasha was there to meet him.

"I thought you'd screw it up. Where's Kagome?"

"She is in her time as you asked me to do."

"I asked you to make sure she was safe!" he snarled, grabbing hold of Sesshomaru's kimono. "What did you do with her?"

"She was being intolerable and so I left her where she sat."

InuYasha was furious and punched Sesshomaru in the face. Sesshomaru only turned back, his eyes narrowed. InuYasha pointed to the well.

"Get back over there! You have to stay with her until she gets better or is ready to come back!"

Sesshomaru stared at him and turned his head curiously, truly confused.

"The way you and the girl act toward one another are odd. Do you view her as your potential mate?"

"I view her as my friend that you abandoned. Go back over there and get her where she needs to go!"

Sesshomaru felt a rare smile try to creep onto his face.

"You are jealous of me."

"What?"

"I can sense it. You are jealous that I get to help your human companion and you don't."

"Well of course I'm angry. Wouldn't you be angry too if I could help Rin more than you?"

"I do not have attachments such as those. If Rin were to need someone else to take care of her, I would want to make sure she is in good hands and with the best person she could be with. Whether or not I can do it is not a question to be asked."

"Yeah, well, as of right now, I unfortunately have to rely on you to make sure my human is safe."

Sesshomaru lifted an eyebrow and got out of InuYasha's grip and let the smirk he'd been hiding appear as he touched the necklace about InuYasha's neck.

"You claim that human as yours and yet you wear these beads to subjugate to her… what an odd pair you are…"

"My sense of fashion has no precedence on you. Go back there and help her, dammit." InuYasha growled, pointing at the Bone Eater's Well.

Even though Sesshomaru didn't want to do it, seeing his brother getting scared over him possibly being with his 'companion' alone made a sense of sadism rise in Sesshomaru that he hadn't really had the sensation to try out.

Until now.

"I will go back to check on her… After all, she may need my help. I wouldn't want to keep her waiting."

He could tell just by the talk that it irritated InuYasha and Sesshomaru smirked, climbing into the well.

Just as Sesshomaru left, InuYasha went over to the well and reached out a hand to it.

The barrier shocked him hard and he pulled his hand back, shaking it from the shock.

"Please be alright, Kagome…"

"Hello, InuYasha." He turned and frowned. "I'm glad that I finally have you alone."

Just as Sesshomaru thought, Kagome was still in the middle of the courtyard. He was a little confused by her idiocy of staying on the ground but got out of the well to walk over to her. He walked behind her and looked down, where she looked up.

"Do you like sitting in the dirt?"

"Yes because it gives me ideas about what my next sandcastle could be." He turned his head and she frowned. "No. I don't."

He didn't say anything to her, just grabbed her arm and then hauled her over his shoulder. Kagome kicked (painfully) and screamed the whole way toward her house.

When they got to the front door, Sesshomaru set her down and opened the door and then picked her up again.

"Put me down! Put me down!" Kagome yelled, hitting his back.

"Kagome, is that you? Did you bring Inu- Oh my!"

"Mom, hey…" Kagome said, looking at her from Sesshomaru's shoulder. "This is Sesshomaru, InuYasha's older brother."

"Oh, um… How do you do?"

"Exquisite. Where can I deposit your daughter?"

"On the couch?"

"Couch?"

"That fluffy thing!" Kagome said.

Sesshomaru did as told and then turned to Kagome's mother.

"She is in need of medical attention. Her foot is broken."

"No, my toe is broken. Geez, it's like once you turned hanyou you lost your hearing too."

"Although that may be true, I am not hard of hearing."

"Yes you are." Kagome turned to her mother. "Mom, I believe I broke my toe trying to help InuYasha out of this weird jar. He was trapped too so… Anyway, he really isn't a hanyou, just a yokai, but this jar made their body types switch and so… yeah… The well wouldn't let InuYasha come through so Sesshomaru help- Sesshomaru escorted me through."

"Oh, I see… Well, any friend of InuYasha's is a friend of ours and is welcome in the home."

"I am much obliged to your abode but I am not-"

"He's grateful." Kagome said, cutting him off.

She shot him a stare and he glowed at her with low eyes. How dare she interrupt the daiyokai of the Western Lands! he said in his head. He then shook his head. I do not like this 'being a hanyou'. I am beginning to sound like Jaken and act like my disgusting brother. We must find a cure for this inconvenience before I lose all sense of dignity and control.

Sesshomaru decided to work on keeping his composure and normal self in the corner while Sota came down to help his sister up so that everyone could go to the hospital.

"We'll be back a little later Sessh…. Um… Sessh." Kagome's mother said.

"Don't destroy anything!" Kagome yelled back.

Sesshomaru frowned and sat on the 'couch'. It was very comfortable… He laid down on it and found it pleasing and so he took a nap; something he hadn't needed in a long, long time.

so here's the deal: the sessh is stoic but he is secretly funny. switching bodies with inuyasha has now technically brought down that barrier that being a full yokai gave him. to me, full yokais are all about one emotion or drive. power, money, anger, silence, arrogance, things like that. sesshomaru is arrogant, sorry. he is. now that he's half yokai, he cannot control the other emotions to hide his arrogance. in essence, he is pretty much if not close to it, like inuyasha is and now he can't hide it.

that being said, inuyasha is easily finding out some emotions he can hide and other emotions he can't. he's also becoming more possessive, hence the 'my human' comment.
