'I'm baaaack!' called Kagome from the depths of the well. She clambered out slowly, bringing her enormous pack with her.

'Sorry I had to leave you, Inuyasha, but this test was really important, and – Inuyasha?' She waved a hand in front of the hanyou's face. 'Hello? Anyone home?'

Sesshoumaru sat by the well glassy-eyed. He had intended to take out a little of his frustration by yelling 'Feh! Bitch!' in Inuyasha's customary manner, but his vocal cords seemed to have tied themselves into knots. All that came out was a strangled 'Aaaargh.'

He recognized what it was now, though. Kagome's smell had changed. It was different, more enticing….

Sesshoumaru smiled inwardly. So, Inuyasha's human wench is in heat, eh? This might be interesting…

'Inuyasha,' said Kagome in concern 'you're drooling.'

Sesshoumaru snapped himself out of his reverie. 'It's nothing!' he barked. 'Just leave me alone!'

Kagome frowned. 'Geez, I was only trying to help!' she muttered before flouncing off.

Sesshoumaru watched her go. Oh, yes…this would definitely be fun.

To relieve his sense of helplessness, he'd bashed Shippo until Sango had hit him over the head with Hiraikotsu and Miroku had threatened to sic the Air Rip on him. He had been sulking and 'licking his wounds' by the well until Kagome had returned.

She made a tempting target, he mused. Even weaker and more defenceless than he was, yet oh-so-trusting that her beloved Inuyasha would protect her. He chuckled. He loved finding ways to inflict pain on his little brother…

That night, after everyone was asleep, Kagome wandered off into the forest to do her 'business' before settling down for the night. Sesshoumaru followed her like a shadow, silent and noiseless.

When they were far enough away from the village, he stepped an some leaves with an audible crackle. She turned and looked around.

'Inuyasha? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!'

Sesshoumaru merely stepped towards her, a look of bestial lust on his face.

'I-Inuyasha?' said Kagome, looking a little more afraid. 'W-what are you doing?'

Sesshoumaru kept advancing.

'Oh, no…SIT!!! SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSIT!!!!'

The barrage of 'sits' had no effect on Sesshoumaru, but the faintest possible glow of power surrounded the rosary.

Kagome screamed 'HELP!!! SANGO! SHIPPO! MIROKU! ANYBODY!!!-mph'

Sesshoumaru crash-tackled her, knocking the wind out of her lungs. He grinned in a Miroku-esque manner and lifted himself up a little to survey the helpless girl.

He had grievously underestimated Kagome.

As soon as he took his weight off her, Kagome kneed him in the groin hard. Sesshoumaru yelped and fell over whimpering 'owowowooohbugger' while Kagome scrambled up and ran for the camp.

It took all of Sesshoumaru's speed and resource to reach the village before her and feign sleep. Kagome, disheveled and panting, arrived and shouted 'MINNA! GET UP! NARAKU'S IN THE FOREST!!!'

NARAKU?!!! Sesshoumaru fell out of his tree. She thought he was NARAKU?!!

'He tried to trick me by turning into Inuyasha but I knew it wasn't Inuyasha because Inuyasha would never try to attack me and the rosary didn't work when I tried to sit him and he-'

'Calm down, Kagome-sama,' said Miroku. 'Just breathe slowly and tell us all about it.'

Sesshoumaru was caught halfway between anger and relief. At least she hadn't suspected the truth. On the other hand, he hadn't even managed to antagonize his brother.

Oh, well he thought. At least Inuyasha doesn't know…

***

Inuyasha was napping in his tree when a glow of power ringed his neck and Kagome's voice screeched in his ear: 'SIT!!! SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSIT!!!!'

'AAARGH!!!" he yelled as he was dragged out of the tree and bashed repeatedly against the ground.

'Oooh…F***ing five hells…' he moaned once the barrage had finally stopped. He peeled himself off the ground.

He was not a happy youkai.

What were those flashes of visions that I saw while I was being sat? he wondered. It looked like me…I was attacking… His eyes widened. 'Sesshoumaru's attacked Kagome!' he snarled. 'The bastard…I'll make him PAY!!!'

He kicked Jaken awake. 'Get up, toad. We're going to pay my dear brother a visit.'

'Hai Sesshoumaru-sama!' Jaken grinned

OK, I sort of promised my friends I wouldn't do Sess/Kag fics, but hey, Inu- chan's gotta have a good reason to fight Sesshoumaru in the next chapter, doesn't he?
