For the first hour, the tension was almost unbearable. InuYasha kept his
hand on the sword at all times, and hardly let his eyes off his older
brother. In return, the Sesshomaru eyed the monk--Miroku, and most of all,
his brother. At first, he didn't realise that Kagome was even talking to
him.
"Sesshomaru? I asked if you wanted something to eat."
"Yes, please. I am afraid I haven't eaten in three days," he said, not taking his eyes off InuYasha.
She handed him some kind of strange food, some brown goo and purple goo stuck between two peices of bread. Sesshomaru took a wary bite.
Kagome almost laughed out loud at the look on Sesshomaru's face, as the demon struggled to get the peanut-butter from sticking to in the back of his mouth.
"What IS this bizzare food?" he asked.
"It's a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich," she answered, giggling alittle.
"A SANDWITCH? You people eat witches?" he asked, his eyes wide, and a sneer on his face.
Kagome couldn't control it anymore. She broke out in a fit of giggles at the thought of eating a witch combined with the look on Sesshomaru's face. "No silly," she said, finally controlling her laughter, "that's just what the dish is called. It's a different kind of 'wich'. It's just bread and peanuts and fruit."
"It's too strange."
"Fine, I'll eat it. No use in wasting perfectly good food," Kagome said.
Sesshomaru looked at some of the other foods she had with her. He picked up a bag of some sort of flat, greasy, brittle bread peices. He took one of them out and put it into his mouth. It was dry and salty, apparently another of her foreign foods. He put it back on the ground. He would go without eating if it meant that he would otherwise have to eat such bizzare things.
"Erm . . . . maybe you'd be more favorable to something familiar," Kagome said, looking at him funny. He shifted uncomfortably under the suspicious stares of the others.
"Like what?" he asked. She held up a bowl of noodles.
"InuYasha likes this, so why don't you try it."
"Like InuYasha has any taste whatsoever," Sesshomaru said coldly, but accepted the noodles.
It was still rather strange to eat, and salty, but it was better than nothing. He ate it, still learing at his half-brother.
Eventually, the others drifted off the sleep. All except InuYasha, who continued to be ready to strike if the need came.
"My my, InuYasha. What little taste in jewelry you have," Sesshomaru said, smirking at the ugly necklace that hung around InuYasha's neck.
"So? What do you want?" InuYasha said coldly, paying no heed to what Sesshomaru just said.
"Here's the situation, little InuYasha: I have to stay with you, and we have to both stay alive. Or else expect the worst."
"Feh. Like what? I'm not afraid of death."
"You face your greatest fear, *then* you face a horrible gory death."
For a fleeting moment, InuYasha thought of loosing Kagome to some other guy, but instantly pushed it back, mentally slapping himself and telling himself it wasn't his worst fear.
Sesshomaru tried to sleep after that, but it greatly unnerving to have somebody staring at you. Especially a half-breed that couldn't hold his temper, held the Tetsusaiga, and wanted nothing more than to slash you into tiny peices. But he knew that now he knew their fate, even InuYasha wouldn't be so stupid as to test the curse.
Grumbling, Sesshomaru got up and sprang into a tree. and lay down to rest there. Unlike his overbearing brother, he knew the need of sleep one needed. No need to worry about danger sneaking into their midst. Sesshomaru would hear them instantly, even in his sleep, and was powerful enough to take on any demon. He'd overpowered every demon in Japan, right?
Wrong.
