This time they didn't have Miroku lie about feeling an ominous cloud.
Sesshomaru actually paid for their a large room with a bathing house and a
large meal. This seemed strangely nice of him, till they found out that it
was more for Rin's sake than anybody elses.
Kagome had been wearing the same clothes for the past two weeks now, and for some reason, Sesshomaru had another nice attack and bought her a nice silk kimono and sandles, claiming he would do anything to escape the smell of human body odor.
Kagome went and sat next to InuYasha in the main room. "I wonder why Sesshomaru's being so nice all of a sudden."
"I don't know," InuYasha said, looking as confused as she felt.
"Well, at least we get some nice food and a hot bath," Shippo said cheerily, looking at the large amount of food that was purchased.
Sesshomaru then entered the room, and sat down. Rin followed him in a clean kimono herself, and sat down on his lap. His nice behavior was starting to get to Kagome. She was about to inquire about it, when he gave a small hiccup.
"He's drunk. I thought something like that might be the cause of all this," she said, and sweatdropped. The night was quiet, even for a small quiet village, and Kagome and the others soon fell asleep, leaving InuYasha awake to ponder over his brother. He highly doubted that Sesshomaru was working purely over the influence of the somewhat strong wine he had purchased. It just wasn't like him.
Kagome stirred next to him, and he felt her grab his arm. She started cuddling it while he sat shocked over it.

Sesshomaru woke up the next morning to a slight headache and Kagome cuddling InuYasha. He was sitting there, petrified. He watched him give her a small poke and whisper, "Kagome?"
Kouga stirred, and Sesshomaru wasn't in the mood for their fighting over the human girl so early in the morning.
"InuYasha, be quiet. You'll wake up that git over there," he practically breathed. But he knew that his brother, though weak, could hear everything he said.
"I know," InuYasha breathed back, "but I have to wake her up somehow." Kagome nuzzled in closer and put a hand on his chest. "Kagome," he said, a little louder.
"Mmm. InuYASHA," she replied, not waking up.
Sesshomaru twisted Rin slightly in his lap, facing her towards him. This wasn't something the little girl should wake up to.
"Some people can sleep through anything, but still talk back to people in their sleep," Sesshomaru breathed.
"Yeah, I kind of realize that now," he said, the look of horror on his face growing even more as a hand went into his shirt.
"I'm kind of worried about Shippo and Rin seeing this. I don't think it's appropriate."
"I'm more worried about Kouga. Not that I couldn't fight him," InuYasha, not taking his eyes off Kagome. "Kagome," he said, his voice now it's natural pitch, giving her a jab.
"Sesshomaru-sama." Rin was awake.
"Hey, Rin," Sesshomaru said, "Why don't you go outside and play for a while." He gave ehr a nudge towards the door while trying to hide InuYasha and Kagome. "Don't talk to strangers, don't go too far, don't pet any strange animals. . . . .you know what I don't like." Rin nodded and dashed outside.
"INUYASHA!!" Kouga woke up.
Kagome stirred. "Huh?" she said, her eyes opening slowly. She suddenly realized what she was doing, and jumped up, her face turning beet red. InuYasha seemed extremely embarrassed now that she was awake. He, however, growled at Kouga as if he had the perfect right for Kagome's hand to be in his shirt.
