~ * ~ Chapter Three: Here comes Sesshoumaru ~ * ~

Kagome started to turn toward the village when Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and said, "Hey, wait up, I got something to ask you."

'Oh no,' Kagome thought.

"Umm, you wouldn't happen to try to take a bath in the spring earlier this morning?" Inuyasha asked hesitantly.

'Ooh that sonofabitch!' But instead Kagome replied, "Of course not. Why would I take a bath in the spring when I could have gone to my time, in my shower?"

She noted how his muscles visibly relaxed with her reply, but then tense up again.

"Sesshoumaru didn't come to bother you. did he, about where I was or anything else?"

Kagome was getting a little irritated right about now. He was acting as if he was guilty about something. "No. Why would he come after me?" With that said, they continued after Shippo towards Kaede's hut.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The walk back to Kaede's was peaceful until they heard someone yell HENTAI! and a loud smack.

Kagome, happy that something broke the loud and awkward silence, replied, "Someday, she's really gonna kill him." The only response she got was Inuyasha stopping dead in his tracks and growling at some unseen enemy.

All of a sudden, Kagome 'eeped' because she felt hot breath against her neck. She turned around to see a beautiful creature behind her.

'His hair is so cool. it's so silky and long, so unlike Inuyasha's, and he's so.' her thoughts were cut off by Inuyasha's loud growls in front of her. Somehow he managed to step in front and push her aside without her noticing.

In one swift moment, Sesshoumaru jumped away and landed on a nearby branch.

Kagome craned her neck to look over Inuyasha's shoulder. To her horror, the beautiful youkai was staring directly at her! Even more shocking he had an odd conspiring grin on his face.

It made him look awfully twisted.

But Inuyasha didn't seem to notice his brother staring directly at Kagome. "Are you gonna just fucking stand there or fight me?" Inuyasha spat.

All Sesshoumaru did was gracefully down on one foot in front of Kagome.

All she could do was stare at those usually unemotional golden eyes. It held her immobile.

"Stay away from her, you BASTARD!" With that, Inuyasha swung an already transformed Tetsusaiga.

While all of this happened, Sesshoumaru kept his eyes on Kagome, with a knowing grin on his face. Almost as if he knew something she knew.

He walked up to her in a very slow pace, making her really nervous.

Kagome tried not to smile back, but that look was hilarious. She settled for a tiny smirk. Now, he was bending down slightly, looking into her eyes.

There was a glint of some emotion she couldn't understand. Hell, that was the first emotion besides anger that she saw from him.

Inuyasha was fuming behind them, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

Kagome saw a flicker annoyance in his eyes. He did the unthinkable.

He bent down to kiss her.

She hated to admit it, but it was actually a really good kiss. Just when she was about to give up, he slipped his tongue into her mouth. It was surprisingly soft, but she fought him nonetheless.

Sesshoumaru made her swallow some kind of nasty liquid while he was kissing her. After a couple of seconds she felt fire running through her body. She tried to push him away, but just felt her body becoming weaker and weaker.

The last thing she was that beautiful creature with his arms around her, and Inuyasha behind him..
