Chapter 3

Author note: Yes, Sesshoumaru will be a bit out of character, but hey, it fits .. so why not go with it? And yes, he will have both arms here. Yay for out of character moments and people having four appendages (you know, 2 arms and 2 legs?). Anyway, moving on.

Damn it, Sesshoumaru! IÕm gonna kill you!Ó yelled Inuyasha.

Sesshoumaru heard Inuyasha yell and smirked.

Well this will prove to be interesting,Ó he thought.

He realized he still held Kagome and she was still unconscious from being knocked out from that demon earlier. Ah, yes. She was still without a shirt.

Inuyasha was still about fifty yards away when Sesshoumaru decided to have a little fun. He turned so his back was facing the hanyou. He wrapped KagomeÕs arms around his neck so it would look like a loverÕs embrace. He then held her by the waist with his left arm and kept her arms secured around his next with right arm. They then proceeded to make out. Well, I suppose you could say HE was the one making out with her because she was still unconscious. ^_^Õ

*FLASHBACK*

This takes place around episode 23 of the anime titled "Kagome's Voice and Kikyou's Kiss."

(Kagome is trapped to a tree by Kikyou's soul skimmers.)

Inuyasha: There hasn't been a single that's gone by when I haven't thought of you.

Kikyou: Do you really mean that?

Inuyasha: Kikyou?

As Inuyasha and Kikyou share a kiss, Kagome has watched this whole time.

Kikyou starts to drag Inuyasha to hell with her when Kagome's voice brings him out of Kikyou's spell.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF INUYASHA."

*END FLASHBACK*

Inuyasha felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Is this how Kagome felt?" he thought.

"Grrrr....You bastard! Let her go right now!Ó snarled the half-demon.

ÒNow, why should I do that, Inuyasha? Could it be that you care for her? Are you jealous? No, that canÕt be it. ItÕs obvious you donÕt care one iota for this woman. After all, I found her fighting off 2 demons, and I rescued her from them.

ÒÉÓ

ÒHmmm, I thought as much. I should have expected as much from a worthless half-breed. ItÕs a shame that blood as great as fatherÕs should run through someone as feeble as you.Ó

Sesshoumaru paused for a moment.

ÒIÕve made up my mind. IÕve realized that you arenÕt even worthy to wield Tetsusaiga. IÕve mentioned this before but youÕve seemed to have actually proven yourself unworthy of such a great sword.Ó

ÒFat chance, Sesshoumaru!Ó

ÒHmph. You canÕt even protect your own woman with it. How pathetic.Ó

"What the hell? She's NOT my woman!"

"Well then, Inuyasha, you wouldn't mind if I took her to my castle and made her MINE. Now, would you?"

"What makes you think you can just make off with Kagome?"

"I thought as much. I shall take her to my castle and make her mine in place of Tetsusaiga. Now, if you want Kagome back, you'll give me Tetsusaiga."

"mm.. Inuyasha? What's going on?" asked Kagome groggily.

"Stupid girl! Don't move!"

"Well, our sleeping beauty awakes."

"kyaa!"

"Ha! Sesshoumaru! She is obviously repulsed by you. You know she would never agree to become your mate!"

"What in the world are you two talking about? What the..ahh! Where's my shirt! I have nothing but my bra on!"

She looked down and realized that she was still being held by Sesshoumaru.

"YOU! You took my shirt off didn't you, Sesshoumaru?:

"Of course I did, how else could it have come off?"

Kagome wriggled out of Sesshoumaru's grip. She then slapped him one so hard even the demon lord himself was suprised.

With her hands on her hips, Kagome proceeded to scold him.

"What kind of gentleman ... err demon are you! You don't just take off a girl's shirt without her consent! You know what? I should ---"

"Woman, stop your incessant rambling. I merely removed your shirt to take care of the wounds on your chest. You do realize that there were 2 demons attacking you, don't you? You were knocked unconscious when I rescued you, you ungrateful wench."

"Sesshoumaru! You mischievous little demon. You were PRETENDING to do THAT to Kagome, weren't you? Oh yeah, by the way...Kagome? You might want to move your hands from your hips and cross them over your chest, you still don't have your shirt on!" ^_^'

The girl screamed, crossed her arms over her chest and ducked behind two bushes faster than you could say ...

"Sit, boy!"

Thump "Umph!"

"Inuyasha, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Inuyasha looked up from his spot in the dirt, "Well, you stupid girl. You were too busy yelling..."

"Nevermind. Sesshoumaru! What exactly were you PRETENDING to do to me? Hmmm?"

"Yeah, Sesshoumaru. What were you ..."

"Sit, boy!"

THUMP

"Ouch! Stupid girl! That hurt!"

"Now, Sesshoumaru. Go ahead and tell me what you were pretending to do."

Sesshoumaru finally spoke up after a long moment of silence. (Can we say flustered, boys and girls?)

"Ahem. Well Kagome, if you must know. I was pretending to ..."

Before Kagome realized what had happened, the whole world turned black.

Sesshoumaru had dashed behind Kagome and quickly pinched a certain nerve in her neck causing her to pass out.

YAY for more cliffhangers!
