The little kitsune was frozen with fear as the older and much stronger youkai glanced down at him. But remembering how he had just took Kagome away, Shippo's heart was filled with vengeful bravery.
"Take this! And give Kagome back!" Shippo shrieked, as he kicked Sesshomaru in the shin and stepped on his foot. Then, the kitsune transformed into a sword, but Sesshomaru, not in the mood to fight a little kit at the moment, simply grabbed the handle of the "sword" and tossed the kitsune towards the cave.
Hearing the high pitched shrieks of Shippo, Sango and Miroku had run outside to see what happened.
A little ball of fur flew through the air and hit Miroku's chest, knocking him to the ground with Shippo laying on the ground by him.
"Shippo-chan? What is it? What's the..."
But Sango stopped abruptly, noticing the demon-lord. Her hand flew to her boomerang and without her usual shout, she threw it in pure rage at Sesshomaru.
But Sesshomaru's glowing whip flew out and wrapped around the boomerang, stopping it and tossing it lazily back to Sango.
When Miroku got up again, he started unwrapping the rosary beads, but spotted Rin, the little human girl who traveled with Sesshomaru, on his shoulder, and quickly wrapped the rosary around his hand again. Rin was a completely innocent girl and if he used his hand now, it would kill her too.
Inuyasha, smelling his brother, also ran out of the cave and spotted Sesshomaru. Remembering Sango's earlier words about him kidnapping Kagome, Inuyasha leapt forward aiming a wild punch at Sesshomaru, that the demon-lord dodged easily.
"Stop. Why do you all attack me?" Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed as they met Inuyasha's, "We had an agreement, hanyou."
"Do you think I'm going to respect our little "agreement" now?" Inuyasha pulled out Tetsusaiga and attacked Sesshomaru, calling him a few bad names.
Still expressionless, Sesshomaru easily sidestepped and the furious hanyou skidded into the ground, not being able to stop his wild charge.
"Why are you breaking your word? You said your word was as good as mine, and Sesshomaru never breaks his word. True youkai have honor, hanyou." Sesshomaru said, only mildly disturbed.
"My word?! Do you think I CARE about that after what you've done?" Inuyasha tried a hit at Sesshomaru from the air, but the demon-lord easily dodged that attack also.
"What have I done?" Sesshomaru asked again as Inuyasha picked himself off the ground.
"You kidnapped my woman, bastard!" Inuyasha yelled, not even noticing that he had copied the favorite phrase of a certain wolf-youkai lying unconscious in the cave behind them.
But somehow, even though he was unconscious, Kouga heard the yell from Inuyasha who was battling Sesshomaru outside and leapt up, scattering the bandages and other medicines around him. With a snarl, he ran outside.
"YOUR woman?! She's mine, you dog-turd!"
Stopping with a frustrated growl, Inuyasha momentarily stopped his attacks on Sesshomaru to yell to Kouga,
"You're a freaking moron! Kagome's destined to be with me! She's mine!"
Even though they were in the middle of a serious battle, Miroku couldn't resist a little comment, after he recovered from the shocking announcement,
"So Inuyasha, you're finally admitting your feelings for Lady Kagome, ne?"
This stopped Inuyasha in his tracks as he realized what he had been yelling.
But embarrassment didn't stop Inuyasha for long and the adrenaline rushing through him made him do what Kagome had always stopped.
He attacked Kouga.
The wolf-youkai responded to the challenge, although he was still injured and the two began fighting.
However, Sesshomaru was not forgotten and the duel had turned into a three-way battle with Inuyasha alternating fighting Kouga and Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru easily dodged all the attacks aimed at him and he sighed, showing the slightest hint of annoyance. Fights with Inuyasha were usually interesting, but this time, the hanyou was completely wild, not even a bit of strategizing, but merely wild punches and kicks.
Finally, even Sesshomaru's patience was worn thin and he decided to stop the fight.
Fisting his hand, he swung and caught Inuyasha on the side of the head.
Inuyasha stumbled back, stunned that Sesshomaru was actually fighting him now.
"Hanyou. Have you forgotten that I had been talking to you at the time your companions said I kidnapped that mortal girl?"
Inuyasha, who had just got up again rubbing his head, started to attack again, but then Sesshomaru's comment sunk in and he stopped.
'That's right, Sesshomaru was with me for almost the whole time after Kagome and I started to head back to the cave. He couldn't have been in two places at once.'
But Inuyasha was still confused. How could Sesshomaru be talking to him, and have been here to kidnap Kagome? Unless...
Inuyasha's eyes narrowed and his lips curled back in a half snarl half growl.
Naraku.
