A/N: Hello readers! Glad I'm back? Good! I am too! Well, not really, because I'm working on five fics at the same time! Three of them are in 'Spiral', one in 'Oh! My Goddess', and this one makes five! Why am I working on five fics, you might ask? Well, I wish I could answer that, I really do…but truth is, not even I know the answer! I dunno, maybe I got tired of writing just 'Spiral' fics all the time…maybe I just wanted to out-do KousukeAsazuki and do more fics than her! Or maybe I'm just plain crazy…either way, I'm in over my head at keeping up with them all…hope you're happy! Enjoy! Oh, and by the way…never tease Sesshy…it makes for a very grumpy demon!

Eddie1990: Glad to see that you're not a stalker! Wait…you're going to kill me! What have I done!

KousukeAsazuki: You. Damn you. Why are YOU threatening to kill me! Oh yeah…the war…

EmotionalAnime: Yeah…I wish piggies flew and went moo too…

KissKitty: How is that being mean? I'm glad you like my story! I really do! Thanks!

Kaghiei4everasshole: Wow…what a weird penname. Ok, I'll give you more!

i-luv-the-cat-sohma52: I know…Fluffy on a rampage should strike nothing but fear into your cold, mortal heart!

x1xeyanescencex1x: Also weird penname, sorry! Glad you loved it!

Note: What the hell is up with my reviewers? Are you all homicidal or something! Why are you all trying to kill me! Did KusukeAsazuki put you up to this!

Chapter 3: A lesson in manners

Kagome went off on her way to find Sesshomaru. Her search for the demon was becoming quite exhausting, so she sat down to rest under a tree.

"Kagome!"

"Oh no…" Kagome turned to see a very anxious Inu-yasha run over to her.

"Kagome! Damn you! It took me forever to find you! Do you have any more of that candy? I want some more candy!" The anxious hanyou pleaded.

"I told you, It's for your brother!" Kagome argued.

"Sesshy always gets everything! It's not fair! I bet you have a whole lot more and you're planning on giving it all to him!" he pouted.

Kagome tried to push him away. "What's gotten into you, Inu-yasha? Stop it, you're drooling all over me!"

"I want candy!" His nose sniffed at her bag. "I smell it! You have it! Gimme it!" Inu-yasha cried happily, bouncing excitedly like a puppy.

"Hey! Hold on, Inu-yasha! It's not all for you, you know! Save some for the others!" Kagome yanked her bag away before he could steal whatever little treats he could get his hands on. He only managed to grab one chocolate bar in the process.

Sesshomaru, who had overheard the commotion from some distance away, walked over to see what it was. He wasn't particularly fond of his alone time with Rin being disturbed, and he was ready to slice whoever it was to ribbons. Those long, clawed digits rested lightly at the hilt of Tokijin, as he looked down at the wretched half brother he so greatly despised. His golden eyes narrowed into slits at the mere sight of the bastard, and a low growl rose in his throat. "Inu-yasha…"

Rin ran to Sesshomaru's side. "Lord Sesshomaru, is something the matter?" she questioned, curiously.

The proud demon didn't answer, but seemed content merely to stare at the half brother he detested. The bastard was scampering around like the ignorant puppy he was, which only further enraged the aristocrat even more. "Inu-yasha…" he growled. "Inu-yasha!" he unsheathed Tokijin and rushed at the ignorant hanyou.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin cried, trying to go after the enraged demon, but he was too fast for her.

Kagome turned around, surprised to see the demon run in her direction. "Hey, it's Sesshomaru!" she smiled, standing up. "Hey, Sesshoma…"

"Out of the way, idiot!" Inu-yasha pushed her out of the way to save her from getting sliced in half.

"Inu-yasha, Watch out!" Kagome watched Sesshomaru's sword sliced through the air.

"Shut up and let me handle it!" Yasha growled, easily blocking Tokijin with his Tetsusaiga.

Sesshomaru glared at Inu-yasha, his hatred for the hanyou growing even stronger than it had before. He simply wanted to get rid of the pesky half-breed, and be done with it. He detested the very fact that his father's blood flowed through the filthy hanyou. "Die, Inu-yasha…" he spat through gritted teeth.

"Feh! As if! I ain't dying until I take care of you!" Inu-yasha growled, pushing the sibling backward a few feet. "Why don't you stop following me and trying to kill me all the time and get a fucking life!"

"I'll consider it if you accept your fate and die by my hand, half-breed!" Sesshomaru attacked his brother again, rushing toward him and swinging Tokijin, barely missing the stubborn half demon.

"Such a bitch. Fine then!" Inu-yasha growled. "Wind scar!"

Sesshomaru knew it was coming. The bastard always was reckless…. "Typical." He easily jumped out of the way of the attack with no effort at all.

"Feh. I shoulda' known. You picked up the scent of my wind scar."

"Your wind is more like a gentle breeze." Sesshomaru stated. He went to raise his sword again, but something made him hesitate. 'That scent…' confused golden orbs stared at the half-breed he so greatly detested. It was coming from Inu-yasha and his wench…

Quickly, he sheathed Tokijin and cast a glance to the girl. Forgetting about the battle, he walked over to her, entranced by that scent…

"Hey, Sesshomaru! The battle's over here!" Inu-yasha called out, wanting to finish what his brother had started.

Sesshy ignored the hanyou and closed the distance between him and Kagome.

"What do you want?" she asked bravely. "Oh, you smell something, don't you?" she got a smug little grin on her face, like the one she got when she was teasing Inu-yasha.

Sesshomaru stood there, staring at her, but keeping his silence.

"You want this, don't you?" Kagome waved the candy bar under the demon's nose playfully.

"Kagome, just what the hell do you think you're doing!" Inu-yasha yelled. "That's mine!"

Rin stood where she was, watching with full curiosity.

Sesshomaru sniffed at the foreign object, finding it to his liking. In an instant, he grabbed Kagome's wrist. "Give it to me." He ordered.

"Hey! Get your hands offa her! And keep your filthy claws off my candy as well!" Inu-yasha screamed, enraged by his brother's actions. Furious, he rushed to attack the arrogant demon, but Kagome used the subduing spell to "sit" the shit out of him.

Sesshomaru stared at the grounded hanyou, with little interest. Instead, he turned his attention to Kagome. "The candy." he ordered again, holding out his hand.

"I'll let you have it if you can ask nicely for it." Kagome smiled.

Sesshy frowned. Asking politely for things wasn't his forte, but for the candy… "…May I please….ugh…"

"Say it…!" Kagome urged. "It's not that hard! Stop being such an arrogant jerk and ask for it!"

"…May I please have the candy…" he decided that in order to get what he wanted from this girl, he had to play the nice routine to the fullest. "Please…?" he added, feeling like a complete and utter idiot. 'A demon reduced to begging to a mere human…how pathetic…' he thought.

"Well…" Kagome thought about it. If Sesshomaru was really this desperate for a piece of candy, why not go all out? Oh, this was going to be fun…

A/N: OH! OH! I know you all hate me for stopping it here, but I swear, it's soooo worth it! Plus, I just LOVE driving poor KousukeAsazuki crazy with these cliffhangers! (is that another grey hair I see?) Oh, god, I'm loving this! (dies of laughter) I LOVE Sesshomaru, but I'm gonna have to do some pretty degrading things to him next chapter. FLUFFY BASHING (and fluff) AHEAD! XD Sorry!
