Wow, thirteen reviews already. Thanks so much, you guys! All right, well,
here's chapter three. I hope you like.
Disclaimer: Yes! I own Inuyasha! So sue me. Okay, no, please don't. All I have is a nickel and an empty gum wrapper. But I can just give you those. That'll be $273 for Shipping & Handling. Pleasure doing business with you.

Chapter 3: How Would You Like It?
*-{Sesshomaru's POV}-*
I suppose her kindness towards me was unexpected, and I reveled in the fact that passersby were too busy to notice my smile.
After all, it would have ruined my hard-earned reputation.
When we headed to dinner that night, the seating arrangement was a bit different.
I still sat at Kagome's right, but this time Inuyasha was at her left, and Kouga sat across from her, all the while giving me and that half-breed warning glares.
The meal consisted of some meat product slopped onto old bread, as well as something that was supposedly pork and beans.
Kagome only stared at it disgustedly, while Kouga and Inuyasha dug in like starved animals, and I, of course, ate with the proper manners.
"What, too good for prison food?"
She sent Inuyasha an angry glare.
"I'm a vegetarian."
"Are you serious?"
She nodded, then pushed her plate away and sipped her milk.
"You shouldn't drink that, then. Think, some poor, innocent cow had to be milked for that. How would you like it if someone came up and milked you?"
Though I knew he hadn't meant it in the way everyone heard it, it didn't mean that even I, Sesshomaru, nearly spit out my food. It didn't keep Kagome from looking on with total shock.
And it didn't change the fact that Kouga was utterly furious.
"You pervert! I can't believe you just said that!"
Kagome beat Kouga to it, but he still stood up and began to roll up his sleeves, eyes flashing.
"Feh. You perverts. I didn't mean it that way."
I was even a bit angry. Not for Kagome, of course. But for the fact that he had such rude audacity. And the fact that he claimed relation to me.
Why on earth would I be defensive of that girl, anyways?
*-{Inuyasha's POV}-*
I honestly wasn't trying to be perverted. Perhaps Miroku visited the prison more often than we realized.
Kouga's fighting stance did not go unnoticed, and despite the fact that Kagome was furious with me, I could tell she was trying to calm Kouga down.
"Kouga, it's okay! Don't worry about it! Just sit down and drink something."
"Kagome! Didn't you her what dog-breath said to you?! He had no right!"
Though she put on a good show, I noticed when her slight headache was acted out to be a bit of a more serious migraine.
"Kouga, please. This is really making my head hurt. Could you just let it go, this once?"
Her voice had turned to pleading, and even I couldn't deny the look of sincere worry on his face as he calmed down considerably and ran to our side of the table to examine her more carefully.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry. I did not mean to cause you pain."
Her strained smile caused a pain in my chest I had not previously noticed.
In fact, it was a feeling I hadn't felt since I noticed Kikyou spending excess time with the leader of one of the most notorious gangs in all of Japan.
His name was Naraku or something.
But that was the past. It didn't matter anymore.
As Kouga led Kagome, with the supervision of a worried Hojou, back to the cell, I realized with sudden annoyance that the look on my half-brothers's face certainly must have mirrored mine all too well.
And it was a look I recognized as jealousy.
*-{Kouga's POV}-*
As I led Kagome back to the cell, I couldn't help but fume at Inuyasha's comment.
And why on earth would Kagome defend him? It must be her headache.
After all, she's destined to be mine, and she'll figure that out soon enough.
"Kagome, dear, do you need some aspirin? Hey, you, Homo, get Kagome some aspirin."
The boy looked a little too worried about Kagome as he closed the cell door. I had to distract him.
"Huh? Actually, it's Hojou. And of course I'll get her some. I'll be right back."
As he hurried off, I led Kagome to sit at the edge of my bed, not wanting her to have to climb all the way to her top bunk.
As I clutched her hand, she glanced strangely at me.
"Kouga, why is it you're so much nicer that Inuyasha?"
I smirked at this. Good. She knew I was better than that dog turd.
"Because he doesn't care for you like I do. He'd never understand such emotions. He's nearly as cold as Sesshomaru. I'd never treat you like that. I'll love you like they never could."
My last sentence was a husky whisper as I leaned closer to her. Her eyes darted to my lips and I couldn't help but grin.
This was it.
~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
Ooh. Cliffhanger. Anyways. Sorry 'bout that whole 'milking you' thing. I know it could be taken really perverted (as it was in the story), but someone said that to me the other day and I had to use it.
I haven't gotten many votes by way of pairings, yet. So.I think I'll wait until I've gotten more reviews before posting chapter four. Mwahahaha.*cough*
I guess if it goes to long without me getting many reviews, though, I'll post anyway.
Thank you very much, for those of you who have reviewed. Its good to know some people actually read what I'm writing.
Luff and smooches to all,
Reiko
