Chapter two: Feelings realized

Under the bright full moon a dark haired beauty sat under a sakura tree. Her head was bowed and her eyes were dazed. While in deep thought she was completely unaware of the demon presence close by. High up in a tree sat a tall silver haired taiyouki. For a whole week he has been watching the fascinating creature that was Kagome. The whole time his presence has gone unnoticed.
He watched as the girl cried herself to sleep each night and held back the tears that threatened to fall during the day. He wanted to do something, but he didn't know what. He felt each insult that was thrown her way and longed to comfort her each night she cried. He couldn't stand it anymore. He had to teach his baka of a brother a lesson. Sesshomaru stood up and glided toward the place where his half-brother's scent was the strongest.
He flew until he reached a familiar tree. There high up in the God tree sat the baka he was after. He flew down and landed on the ground. He looked up to Inuyasha and was highly annoyed at the fact that he was being ignored. He watched his brother awhile longer before he decided to make his brother acknowledge his presence. He glided up to branch Inuyasha was sitting on and gave the annoying hanyou a slap on the head.

"What the hell was that for!" Inuyasha yelled while rubbing his sore head.
"You need to learn a lesson" came his calm response.
"A lesson in what!"
"It does not matter, seeing that you need to learn a lot about everything."
" You shit head."
"Such language. I guess I should add another lesson to the list."
"You can't teach me anything."
" Well if I can't maybe your miko can."
"What do want with Kagome?"
"I don't want any thing to do with your precious miko. I only want the Tetsusaiga."
"I already told you. YOU'RE NOT GETTING YOUR CLAWS ON MY SWORD!"
With that said Inuyasha jumped at Sesshomaru momentarily forgetting he was in a tree. Sesshomaru dodged his attack and watch with great amusement as his brother fell face first to the ground. A smirk appeared on his face once her heard the loud thud and the curses that flowed like water out of Inuyasha's mouth.
"I see that are even dumber than I thought." He looked down at the hanyou with a smirk on his face. "Tisk, tisk, tisk. Recklessly attacking an opponent in tree."
"Damn it to hell!" Inuyasha forced himself to stand. "Sesshomaru get down here and fight."
"Why should this Sesshomaru lower myself to your level, half-breed?"
" You've only been here a week and already you're back to your old tricks!"
"I'm tired of your foolishness. The lesson starts here."
In the blink of an eye Sesshomaru had his claws around Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha's eyes widened in fear from the look of pure disgust and contempt that burned deep within his brother's golden orbs, the mirror image of his own eyes. He felt razor sharp claws pierce the tanned skin upon his neck and he could smell his life's blood as it drew crimson lines along his skin. He could not breathe in the air his lungs so desperately craved. He kicked his red clad legs in an attempt to escape the death he knew would come if he stayed in the predicament he happened to be in. suddenly he was dropped onto the forest floor and he watched as his brother turned and took several paces away from him. A bemused look claimed his features as he tried to understand his brother's intentions. He glared at Sesshomaru as best he could while greedily gulping down air. The sweet scent of lunar flowers soon tickled his sensitive nose. Kagome was approaching. That's why he was released.

" It is because of her that you will not be killed hanyou. As long as she still feels for you as a companion you will not die, at least not by my hand." Sesshomaru stated, not looking at the hunched over body that was Inuyasha.

"You care for her don't you, Sesshomaru?!" He stood and yelled at the stoic youkai before him.

"That, half-breed, is none of your concern." Came the cool reply.

"Damn it Sesshomaru just admit it! You care for Kagome! My Kagome!"

"She is not yours nor will she ever be." Sesshomaru snapped at him.

"God Damn it!" Inuyasha turned to the tree he was pinned to just a short time ago and punched it. "Damn it! Not this, not again, Kami-sama. Doshite?" he whimpered into the hard bark of the tree.

" Daijoubou desu ka, Inuyasha?"

Her voice! Yes it was HER voice, his Kagome. No, not HIS Kagome, Sesshomaru's Kagome. Inuyasha turned toward the direction of which the voice came. Upon seeing Kagome's red puffy eyes a saddened look appeared on his face and he bowed his head.

"Daijoubou desu ka, Inuyasha?" She repeated.

"Yurushite kudasai." He said in a low voice and walked away.

"Sesshomaru-sama what is the matter with Inuyasha?"

"He realized that he has lost the most precious thing to him."

"What has he lost?"

" You." Then he also turned and left, heading back to the camp where he had left Rin. He had recently joined the inu-tachi to help fight Naraku and with the last battle approaching he needed to keep a close watch over the human child.

RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!
The sound of a cell phone roused the black haired student from his reverie. He growled aloud at being interrupted and defiantly let the phone ring. After listening to the annoying phone for a few moments he grudgingly answered. It was August.

"Hey, I just wanted to help with the whole ' where to take my date' thing. How about the park?"

"The park, why?"

"Think about it. It's quite so you can talk, practically deserted so you can make out, and has the romantic casual yet nice feel to it if you want to... I don't know.... do something. Plus there's always the picnic thing that chicks go for. For some reason most women are attracted to guys who can cook.

"And this suits the casual nice thing I told her to wear?"

"Yeah, that way she looks nice yet she's comfortable."

"Well, I guess hentais like you are good for something."

"Damn right, well, gotta go."

"What to wear? What to wear?" clothes were strewn all around Kagome's room. She had stressed all day over what outfit to wear on her date, but in the end she had no clue.
"WHAT TO WEAR?"

Author's Note
