5 minutes later...
Sesshomaru wondered how the past few minutes had gone by so quickly. It seemed only a moment ago that InuYasha had Kagome by the throat and was ready to kill if she called him a "doggy" one more time. Sesshomaru was a lot less pleased, but didn't show it as much as his temperamental brother. The "SIT!"s seemed to have put Inu in his place. The now sulking half demon was very fun to torment, in Sesshomaru's opinion. At least HE didn't act so childish.
People stared in the streets. The boy with dog ears was perfectly normal compared to the other one walking beside Kagome. Nobody around there had seen giant dogs walking from the shrine before, and it terrified half of them. "NO! We are not giving out free rides!" InuYasha heard as Kagome shooed away the latest batch of kids, all begging to ride on his brother's back. It was pitiful. He could see the look of long suffering dignity on Sesshomaru's expression as the kids ran away, and Inu laughed quietly. The perfect revenge. Then again, if he tried anything, Sesshomaru could easily get away with killing him. As far as Kagome was concerned, it would be a favor.
Kagome growled under her breath as the kids ran off. They actually wanted to ride a giant dog that appeared out of nowhere, which was giving them the most dangerous looks she could think of? InuYasha's hateful expression was also getting on her nerves. She began digging inside her purse. She'd need money for where they were being sent, after all. Giggling quietly to herself, Kagome motioned for them to keep walking. The two brothers were growling at each other, fully oblivious to the fact that Kagome was still there. "Yeah, what makes you so great? You're the one who wanted to race in the first place!" Sesshomaru glared at him. "Grrrr....ruff!!!!" InuYasha pouted. "Well, I suppose that....no it wasn't! You liar!" Kagome cleared her throat loudly. AHEM! Both of them looked up automatically, surprised she was still there. InuYasha coughed and straightened up. Sesshomaru hissed slightly, but stopped arguing. "That's better." Kagome smiled at them and continued walking, not noticing the twin deadly glares she was recieving. They both exchanged a look that meant "Kagome's so STUPID!". It was clear as glass what both of them were thinking. "What's our punishment?"
Kagome kept smiling during their trip, content the brother's fates were sealed. They shouldn't have gone and made her mad. That was a mistake. And embarrasing her in front of everyone like that, destroying the street and scaring people out of their wits! That was uncalled for. And thus, they had to pay. Not only in money, she thought happily, but there was more than one way to skin a cat..or should she say dog?
InuYasha kept sulking. What was Kagome smiling about? That stupid girl. She almost broke his back 25 minutes ago! He looked up at Sesshomaru, finding he was equally distasteful of this arrangement. Then Inu eyed the leash tied around his brother's leg. THAT was keeping him under control?
Sesshomaru glanced at his brother, who was staring at the leash. I bet you wanna know why I don't just rip it off? he thought. Who knows what that girl could do to him? Besides...he pondered, looking down at the thin strip of fabric, it appeared to have the same seal that was most likely in that necklace of his brother's too. That or he had bad fashion sense.
