A/N: Sorry about the long wait guys, I had to stay at my grandmother's house while my parents went to the Prince concert (which was canceled). So you guys have voted and Sesshomaru will be in this chapter. Thanks for the reviews and comments. No flames yet and I want it to stay that way! Anyway here is chapter 3.

Chapter 3: The Green Kimono and Sesshomaru

===

In Kagome's tree in a clearing in a forest:

"Kagome. Wake up." was what Kagome heard the next morning, which disrupted her peaceful slumber.

"Not now mom, just 5 more minutes." She replied. Then she swiped lightly at where the voice was coming from and turned around, which didn't work because she was in a tree and nearly fell out. But before she could fall out she felt two familiar arms catch her. She looked up and saw Inuyasha looking down at her with a smirk on his face.

"I'm not your mother, but I'll have to take care of you like her won't I?" she blushed from embarrassment and broke out of his grasp.

She looked up and saw that the sun had barely risen. "Inuyasha! Why'd you wake me up this early? I went to sleep late, remember?" she yelled at the boy while rubbing the sleep from her eye.

"Hush, you'll wake up the others. Anyway I woke you up to ask you something." He turned his head around and said to himself out loud, "Man I feel so stupid saying this!"

She quirked an eyebrow, 'What could be so embarrassing?' She thought to herself.

"Well Kagome...I've wanted to ask you this for a few hours so you better listen up...but before I do you better promise not to sit me!"

"Okay I promise. Now tell me what it is!" she stared deeply into his eyes. 'Could he want to ask me if I love- no he loves Kikyo."

(Darn Kikyo for contaminating Kagome's mind with sadness!)

She shook her head and stared at Inuyasha.

"Kagome...I wanted to ask you..." he took her hands in his. "Will you...make me something to eat? I'm really hungry!"

Then Kagome's face went into an evil look. "INUYAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

On the ground the monk and demon slayer lightly came out of their sleep.

"My, wasn't that a nice wake-up call?" Miroku commented to the woman next to him.

"Indeed it was, monk." She replied sarcastically. She looked up and saw Inuyasha hop out of Kagome's tree and start jogging towards them.

He suddenly stopped in front of them. "Miroku. Sango. If you see Kagome tell her that I-"

"Here's your breakfast Inuyasha!" he heard Kagome yell menacingly at him. He slowly turned his head towards the sound of her voice and saw her running towards him with a frying pan. He yelped and ran for his life.

As Kagome passed, Miroku and Sango shook their heads at the two demons that passed. Just then, Shippo started to stir awake.

He yawned and sat up from his spot next to Kilala. Then he stared at his two left human companions. And asked, "What I miss?"

"Don't worry Shippo, you'll see it again tomorrow." Miroku answered and shook his head again.

Of course like every argument between Kagome and Inuyasha, they soon forgave each other. But not without Inuyasha getting hit a few times and the group getting mad at him for making her mad. So during the time that the group was eating their breakfast, our favorite dog-demon (unless you're a Sesshomaru fan) was getting the silent treatment from his comrades.

"Hey guys!" Inuyasha said with his mouth full of ramen. (I still don't get why people always make him a ramen maniac. I think that he might be in love with chips and ramen)

The others just kept on eating.

He growled. "Fine be that way!" He swallowed his food and put his empty container and chopsticks down. Then he walked across the little circle that the group made and picked up Kagome. "We're leaving for a while," he told the others.

Kagome looked down at her spilled food on the ground and glared at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha! Where in the heck are you taking me?"

He didn't answer and just kept on walking.

When they got of sight of the group he started walking faster.

"Why are you speeding up? Do you want to be alone with me that much?" she smirked at her own comment.

Inuyasha growled and put her down. Then he reached into his kimono top and pulled out some folded up green clothing. He threw it to her and said, "Here take it. It's a present from me as payback for giving me those jewel shards."

When Kagome unfolded it she saw a fire rat kimono but it was dyed green. Her eyes were shining as she looked up at him. "Where'd you get this? You don't have any money so how did you get it?"

He smirked an evil smirk. "Well...let's just say I got it for free from this hideous fool that made fire rat outfits..."

===

Flashback:

Outside of a small village:

Inuyasha walked out of the village after asking a villager about a rumor about a man who made fire rat clothes. But of course he had to close his eyes, keep from smiling and keep his hands behind his back so he wouldn't scare anyone. But after the person wouldn't tell him he had to scare it out of him.

The person told him that the man lived outside of the village and was usually sleeping against a large tree.

Before he got to him he closed his eyes and tapped the man. "Wake up you old fool!"

The man woke up. "Who dares wake me?!"

"That would be me." He replied cockily.

"What do you want?"

"I want you to make me a fire rat kimono like mine." He tugged at it. "Except a little smaller."

"Who's it for?"

"It's none of your business of who it's for."

"It's for a girl isn't it?"

He blushed. "How did-I mean no!"

The man chuckled. "Fine."

"One thing though, I don't have any money."

"What?! Well then if-" He paused and saw that Inuyasha had 2 jewel shards. "Well it seems that I can make it. All you have to do is give me those two shards of the Sacred Jewel -smirk- and we're even."

Inuyasha smirked, which showed his fangs. "Sorry but no can do."

The man frowned. "Then I guess that I can't make it."

Inuyasha had to chuckle at that. "It is to my greatest advisory that you do, old fool."

"And what if I don't? What will you do if I don't, boy?"

In a blur of a motion, he had the man by the neck, eyes open and fangs curved into a smirk.

"A-A demon!" the man stuttered out.

"That's right. And since you acted so rude, you now have to-" he paused when he heard footsteps coming towards him. He turned around and saw the villager that told him the rumor and about 34 other men.

"There's the demon that came to our village! Let's get him men!" he commanded at the other men.

Inuyasha placed the man down. "You had better not run, this'll only take a second."

He turned his attention towards the men and jumped up. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!"

As the dust disappeared the village men were nowhere to be seen.

"As I was saying, since you were so rude to me, you now have to-"he thought for a moment. "-make it green while you're at it! And make it quick! I need to get back to my group!"

===

"You mean you killed 34 village men and threatened someone just for me?" Kagome asked the dog boy after he told her what happened.

"Uh-yeah?" Inuyasha said cautiously, afraid that she might get mad.

Her eyes widened she smiled a huge smile. "Thank you Inuyasha!" She leaped at him and got him in a huge bear hug. Then she kissed him on each cheek and leaped off.

He stared at her bewilderedly as she started walking off.

"Well what are you waiting for? I'm getting changed into my kimono and we're going to look around." Then she went into the forest. "And you'd better not try to look or else you'll be a dead demon!"

Inuyasha, of course, didn't hear what she said though. He was in a little world of his own. 'She just kissed me?!' He thought loudly to himself. If someone were there with him in the clearing, they would've sworn that they would have seen his eyes flash gold for a second or two. Then, in a rare moment, he smiled a full-hearted smile. He leant against a tree and sat against it. He sighed and waited for Kagome to come back.

(Believe it or not, I was listening to Owarinai Yume (3rd Inuyasha theme), Dearest and Fukai Mori while typing that little section)

===

"Wow! This thing's much lighter than my school uniform" Kagome said while flying through the air. She was now wearing her new fire rat outfit. I made her look like a small human Inuyasha but without the 'I hate being human' scowl. All she needed was some rosary... (I just gave myself an idea! Look for that later on.)

Inuyasha, on the other hand, was all the way in front of her doing high jumps and flips in the air and every once in a while a laugh would come out. It could be stated that Inuyasha was now the most happiest demon ever, half or not.

But soon that celebration in his head ended as a familiar scent hit his nose. He growled and skid to a halt on the ground with Kagome following his actions.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" she automatically asked out of alarm of him stopping.

"Grr...Sesshomaru! Show yourself!" he yelled out.

A few seconds later, he heard a chuckle come from some bushes. "It seems that you're on target for once, little brother. Who finally cracked your skull?" Sesshomaru said while emerging out of the bushes.

(Sorry, that was out of character having him crack a joke like that. But that was for the –twitch- 'Fluffy' fans since I don't know what he'd say in this situation. P.S: Freaky thing is, I named my cat Fluffy when I was little)

"Ha ha ha! Very funny! Now tell me why you're here!" He stood in front of Kagome as protection.

The pure demon smirked at the two. "Why do you ask? Were you having fun with your woman?"

They both said spontaneously, "She's/I'm not my/his woman!" Then they looked at each other and blushed.

"Heh. Just kidding little brother. Anyway what happened to your woman? Her scent is different."

"Again with the little brother and woman stuff! What is wrong with you?!"

"Can a guy say hello to his brother and sister-in-law-to-be?"

He smirked and started walking towards his brother. Inuyasha took a step back and flexed his claws.

Sesshomaru now stood right in front of Inuyasha. Neither had made a single movement for a few seconds. Then Sesshomaru did the most unsuspecting thing ever. He grabbed Inuyasha in a headlock and...started ruffling his hair.

Kagome just stared at them both with wide eyes.

"I'm just so happy! Finally he becomes a demon again! And at least he can't touch the Tetsusaiga either!" He let go of Inuyasha and started cackling evilly.

Inuyasha and Kagome just stared at each other, then his brother, then each other again. Soon he stopped laughing and cleared his throat. "As you know, I have a reputation to uphold. So I strongly suggest that you never tell anyone about anything that just happened." Then he ran off into the woods.

The two demons just stood there and looked at the spot where Inuyasha's brother just was a few seconds ago.

Kagome pulled the collar of her kimono top up to her nose and took a quick whiff. Then she looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha...did you put something on my kimono? Cause I know that that didn't just happened."

Inuyasha just looked down at her. "Yes it did happen. And the strangeness, I bet, is just beginning."
