Lost track of reviews, so I'm not going to answer any more, but thank you!!
Sorry! On with the show. And sorry in advance for any OOCness on
Sesshoumaru's part; I've never really written him before.
While it was nice and all that Inuyasha was considering her feelings lately, Kagome began to get a little pissed off. He was acting like she was going to shatter into a million pieces if he took his eyes off her for one second. From halfway smashed into the ground, Inuyasha cursed inaudibly.
"What was that for?"
"For getting on my last nerve. You're acting all...considerate all of a sudden, and it's creeping me out!"
"So you don't want me to be considerate?"
"Just act normal."
"Perhaps I could treat you better," came a silky voice from nearby. Inuyasha leapt to his feet, preparing for a battle. In a flash, Sesshoumaru was at his side and Inuyasha was facedown again, this time with a foot in the middle of his back.
"Kisama," yelled Inuyasha. "Get off me!"
"Gladly. But you should rest. It sounds like you've had a hard time." Having said such, he ground Inuyasha's head into the soil and left him planted like a seedling.
"What do you want, Sesshoumaru?"
"Why, merely to pay a visit to the dirty hanyou and his followers." Inuyasha yelled from beneath his brother, "Why the hell do you want to do that? (Get off me, bastard!)"
"Because, filthy half-breed—" suddenly the pressure was gone from Inuyasha's back. He pulled his head free of the earth and stood up. Sesshoumaru was gone, as was Kagome. Inuyasha looked up to the sound of his half-brother's voice coming from the sky before him. Sesshoumaru was standing on his cloud, [you know what I'm talking about] holding Kagome hostage.
"—your woman is mine!"
"SESSHOUMARU! BRING HER BACK!!!" Sesshoumaru smirked and flew off towards the west.
***
Damn. Damn damn damn. Inuyasha practically flew back to where Miroku and Sango were resting [were you wondering why they weren't there?], shaking pebbles out of his ears along the way.
"Well don't just sit there, come on!" he roared.
"Where's Kagome?" asked Sango.
"She's been kidnapped!"
"Kidnapped?!"
"By who?"
"What happened?" Calmer than either Sango or Shippou, Miroku spoke, voice wavering.
"How could you let this happen, Inuyasha? You and Kagome were just getting together. You were just starting to act like a couple, and then you go and let this happen to her. You're a disgrace." Inuyasha calmed down. His ears drooped, his mouth hung slack, and he sat down, obviously impacted by the force of Miroku's words.
The others looked at the former inuhanyou warrior reduced to a cowering puppy as he thought.
'He's right. I am a disgrace. I'm a failure. I failed to protect Kagome. I failed to defeat Sesshoumaru. I failed to be the responsible person that I actually wanted to be.'
Inuyasha's reverie was shattered as Sango slapped him into his right mind again.
"Inuyasha! We have to find Kagome and get her back. Tell us the story on the way. The whole story."
***
Kagome glared ferociously at Sesshoumaru from her place at his side as they moved across the clear sky westward.
"Do you really wish for me to drop you from this great height?" he asked, never once taking his eyes off the horizon.
"No, not really."
"Then smile."
Kagome looked at the great taiyoukai as if he had in all seriousness lost his mind.
"Smile? SMILE? How do you expect me to smile when I'm being kidnapped?" Sesshoumaru didn't answer, beginning to gradually lower the altitude of the cloud.
"Is that your castle over there?" asked Kagome in wonder. It was even larger than the fake castles Naraku had lured them with. Double those and add a couple of Sango's villages and you have your Inuyoukai Palace.
"Yes."
"Whoa," Kagome breathed. It was truly a beautiful castle; the roofs were covered in blue tiling, and there was a large pond in the central courtyard. Even from up in the air, Kagome could see the fish in it. The buildings were large and many, and they looked to be about as luxurious as makes no odds.
"How come you never stay here?" asked Kagome in wonderment.
"I find it tiresome to be waited on hand and foot by ugly servants."
"Ugly...there are more of Jaken?"
"His kind is cheap to employ, and they have been loyal to my family for years."
"Too stubborn to leave, huh?"
"In lamense terms..."
***
Having been knocked into silence by the beauty of the grounds, Kagome quickly recovered once she was safe on the ground. As soon as the cloud had dissipated and Sesshoumaru's remaining arm was loosening from around her waist, she whipped around and slapped Sesshoumaru, leaving five red scratches on his previously perfect face.
His glare hardened into the usual icy look he usually had. Grabbing Kagome's hand, he stared into her eyes, chilling her spirit to the bone. She relaxed in his grip as he led her inside the curiously empty castle.
"You still haven't told me why you kidnapped me."
"I'll tell you later.
[A/N: Though I have now lost track of reviews, I still appreciate them!!!
Is inuhanyou an actual word? If it wasn't before, it is now.
Inuyasha: Oy, busu!
Sesshoumaru: Are you talking to me?
Inuyasha: I don't see any other assholes in this room. Why the heck did you kidnap my Kagome?
Sesshoumaru: Like I'm going to tell you.
Inuyasha: Permission to pommel brother.
SPK: Permission granted. Things are boring around here these days. I want to see a good fight.
Sesshoumaru: *hides behind SPK* I never agreed to this!
Inuyasha: *chases Sesshy* I did, and SPK did, so that's two out of three. Majority rules. End of story.
Sesshoumaru: End the chapter before he kills me!!!]
