"What are you doing here ... fluffy?" This was one menacing scene, but the words 'fluffy' made it look hilarious.

"Stop calling me that, brother." He stood calm, taking notice of the girl sitting beside Inuyasha.

"Keh! I'll call you what I want to." Inuyasha turned his face to look at him. "Anyway, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in college."

"I thought of paying a visit to my otouto (little brother). Does it bother you?" The sarcasm was evident in his voice, but his face was emotionless.

"Of course it does!!" He stood up again to face his brother.

"Then my visit is a success." A smirk appeared on his face.

Chapter 13: Feeling Warm

Kagome was dressed in a blue kimono with the obi in designs of snowflakes. The color of her kimono made her hair look blacker than usual, almost like the nightfall without stars, and it also made her blue eyes shine. When Inuyasha picked her up at the shrine, only one thought was on his mind: 'Oh kami.'

And Inuyasha wasn't left behind. He wore a red haori that was a little too big for him, but still it suited him perfectly. There was another detail in this costume ... the dog ears. (yayyyyyy)

Somehow she had managed to put the ears on him. He complained a lot about them, but the truth was that he liked how they looked, and I have to mention, he also liked when Kagome stood on her tip toes trying to reach for his head to put the diadem on; their faces where once again so close...

Since Seshoumaru had come in the morning, he hadn't bothered Inuyasha in any verbal or physical way, but he was doing something that made Inuyasha kind of angry.

He was looking at her...

He was looking at ... Kagome. When he thought that no one was looking, he threw glances at her. How did he get to leave school before the end of the day? ... Who knows? WHO CARES? It doesn't matter! The fact was that he was trying to steal her. Sesshoumaru was trying to take something that was HIS.

'That asshole,' he thought, clenching his fists. That's when he noticed that his left fist couldn't be clenched because a little hand was in it ... her hand.

'Stop seeing things that are not there and get closer to her!'

'You again, Shippou?!... At least this time you're right.'

"Is it good?" Her sweet voice brought him back to reality.

"Uh?" - was his smart answer - "Yeah.. yes, it is. The cotton candy is good. Yup, yummy..." The blush was on his cheeks, and you could easily see his nervousness.

"Don't be nervous ... Look, GOLD FISH!"

She let go of his hand and ran to the place where you could catch gold fish, leaving a stunned Inuyasha behind.

'Why did she tell me not to be nervous?' His blush increased. "She knows I like her?"

But unfortunately for him, she was talking about the cotton candy that he was eating. The cotton was pink, and in Kagome's brain, she had thought that he had been nervous about looking like a girl eating pink and sweet stuff... Maybe if it had been blue, he wouldn't be so worried.

"Hey, Inuyasha! Where's Lady Kagome? Weren't you two coming together?"

Miroku was with Sango and was approaching Inuyasha ... Wait a minute. They were also holding hands!

When did THAT happen?! (Honestly, I don't know.)

"Yeah, she went that wa- ..."

He saw her and saw it. Now he knew what was one of his fears, and for the moment it was the worst.

Kagome's POV

'It was just pink. What was the big deal?' "Excuse me, sir. I want to try it." She handed him the money and took the net.

"It's not easy, miss. So don't be disappointed if you don't catch one."

"I will, don't worry." And with her bright smile, like a five year old girl, she started to try.

minutes later ^ _ ^ (I finally learned to make this damn face YAYYYYYY)

"DAMN IT! I can't! Give me another one!"

"Lady, it's ok. Better try some other game-"

"SHUT UP AND give me ANOTHER NET!" She is scary when she's mad, ne?

Kagome grabbed the net and started to put it in the water, but a person taller than herself was behind her. She could see his shadow. Then, taking the hand with net in his and still in a kind of embrace from behind, he tried to show her how to catch one, and to her surprise she now had the gold (damn little) fish. He also had silver hair.

'Inuyasha...' She blushed at the thought, but a cold voice sounded instead of the harsh, but sweet voice of Inu.

"I've been thinking about this all the day and I've come to a conclusion." He leaned closer to her ear and with a seducing voice whispered, "You are truly gorgeous."

'Sesshoumaru. That's his name... but we only just met, and I haven't talked to him, and he... and I?'

She freed herself from him and backed away a few steps.

"Umm. Thanks.. for the fish." She smiled at him.

Sesshoumaru, the one with the cold heart felt ... her smile make him feel warm.

"It was nothing." He looked behind her and put on his emotionless face. "He is coming."

Was it her imagination, or did he sound a little angry?

"Who?"

Inuyasha was raging with fury. In his veins was venom, not blood. The look in his eyes ... The tender golden color was now like fire.

"Sesshoumaru... come with me."

He passed Kagome without looking at her and grabbed his brother by the arm to make him to follow.

On the lake, in the backyard of the temple

"Get away from her. I will only say this once: SHE IS MINE!" He exploded. Only his will was stopping him from starting to punch his brother in his pretty face, that bastard.

"You know me very well, and I get what I want. That is the only thing I am going to say."

Sesshoumaru left a scared Inuyasha behind. But he wasn't afraid of Sesshoumaru or the threatening voice he used. No, it was none of that. He was afraid of losing her... his Kagome.

Was she really his?

On the opposite was Sesshoumaru. The warmth he felt was... great. He hadn't had that feeling in so long.

He would get it... the warm feeling of...
