Chapter 15: Sibling Rivalry

"You stupid half-breed. I do not want to see you in my sight for the rest of my life." Sesshoumaru growled at his little half-brother. An hour with him staying there and they were already fighting. Kagome watched the scene from aside. They were funny at first, how Inuyasha tried not to fight with his brother, and losing his own battle. Sesshoumaru just stood in front of him, taunting him, trying to get his little brother to attack him. She rubbed her temples for the billionth time that day.

"Well, if you weren't standing there, I wouldn't be looking at you, now would I!" Inuyasha continued to bicker and yell at him.

"No, Inuyasha, maybe I should just kill you so you could be out of my sight and out of my way forever." Sesshoumaru threw back at him, with a death cold glare. This seemed to do nothing to the hanyou, as he just countered back his remarks.

"Well then why don't you just kill me then! You seemed to have a bit of trouble in the past killing me, so what makes you could do it NOW?" Inuyasha got louder and louder, throwing Kagome off of the edge.

"INUYASHA! SESSHOUMARU! SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru froze with their mouth open, to gaze at Kagome. Her hands were in fists next to her shaking body, her face turning red from all the anger, and even Sesshoumaru could see a hint of red starting to form in her eyes. He cringed from the sight of the angry miko.

"You two have been bickering and yelling at each other for a WHOLE HOUR, and your starting to piss me off! Your acting like children, you two! Not even Shippo does this!" Kagome threw at them, causing them both to sink at her sight. She was scary.

Inuyasha just pulled his ears down to his head, and sulked away. Sesshoumaru stood there defiantly, watching the hanyou leave. When he walked out from the hall, Sesshoumaru reverted his gaze from the retreating Inuyasha, to Kagome. She had her arms crossed over her chest, and her eyes were closed, with her eyebrows scrunched over her eyes. She still looked pissed off. Sesshoumaru walked up to Kagome, and gave her the slightest touch on the arm, when she flinched, and opened her eyes in anger. Her eyes hadn't gone back to happiness as he hoped they would, so he awaited for her yells.

"Sesshoumaru! I cannot believe you acted that way! You told me that you would try to overcome your hate with him, not hate him even more! You just...ech...errrr!" Kagome threw her fists up in the air, giving up all hope for the youkai lord. Sesshoumaru just gave her an indifferent stare, then told her his side.

"Well, for one, I didn't start it-"

"Yes you did."

Sesshoumaru sighed. "I didn't start it. Inuyasha walked in the room, then started yelling at me for capturing you, and bringing you here. I simply told him that I did not capture you, I never intended to, and you came here on your own free will. He started waving his arms around, telling me that I was an emotionless fool, and that I would never be able to grow a heart. That had pulled me over the edge, and then we got into it."

Kagome's gaze softened, and she frown. "He said that you captured me, and brought me here?" Sesshoumaru nodded. Kagome's gaze turned hard again, and Sesshoumaru once again swore that he saw red in her eyes.

"Inuyasha said that? I told him everything, I told him not to bring trouble! He promised me that he wouldn't! He told me he changed! I can't believe that that arrogant prick-" Sesshoumaru shushed her, by putting a finger over her mouth.

"Your hurting my ears, dear." Kagome blushed, her eyes softening,and threw a comeback at him.

"Well, I'm sorry sweetie pie, I hadn't meant to be so loud. Would you like me to reduce my voice to a whisper, perhaps? Or maybe you just want me to-" Sesshoumaru hushed her once more.

"Your talking too much, dear." He smiled as he saw her eyes harden from anger, once again, and he smirked. She was too funny when she was mad.He took his hand from Kagome's lips, and turned away. He decided to change the subject, before Kagome got all pissy and flipping out again.

"Your friend wanted to know where you were earlier, that woman Sango. She said she had something important-"

It was Kagome's turn to cut Sesshoumaru off from his speech.

"Really? Ok, I'll go look for her!" Kagome smiled and skipped away, only to go a few feet, and turn around to face Sesshoumaru. She grinned, and scratched her head.

"Uhmm...where is her room again?" Sesshoumaru sweatdropped, and pointed dumbly upstairs. She nodded an ok, then skipped merrily up to Sango's room. Sesshoumaru just watched her skip up to her room, then turn a corner. He heard her footsteps go to the end of the hallway, stop, then skip back. He saw her again, standing upstairs, looking around dumbly.He watched her look down a few hallways, then she chose one to go down. She was lost, once again. Sesshoumaru sighed, and shook his head. That girl would never learn...

'''''''''''''''''''''''

Kagome finally found Sango's room, and she had only knew it was her room, because she heard Miroku in there, trying to convince Sango to do something, only to be smacked in the face. Kagome smiled, and knocked on the door. It instantly grew quiet inside, until the door was cracked, and Kagome waved inside. Sango saw that it was Kagome, and she happily let her in. She told Miroku to leave. His face saddened.

"But, Sango, my darling, what would happen if nobody is here to protect you, in case of an attack? I would be mighty depressed to find out that you got attacked, and I didn't do anything to protect you!" Sango only pushed him out the door, and gave a sharp remark before slamming the door in his face.

"Miroku, the walls would protect me more then you would!"

Kagome just laughed, having seen the same scene over and over again. It was too much when it came to those two. Sango sighed, and locked the door. She hadn't need a peeping Miroku look in and hear what they were going to be talking about.

Sango made her way over to her dresser seat, and sat in it. Kagome found a chair over in the corner of the room, and she picked it up, and brought it so that she was facing Sango, a few feet away from her. Kagome sat down, and looked at Sango. She looked distracted. Kagome decided to break the silence.

"Sango, what's bothering you? You've been down in the dumps ever since that guy you came with left. Anything wrong?"

Sango sighed, and nodded. Kagome waited patiently for Sango to give her an explanation why, and she finally got what she wanted a few seconds later.

"Well, Kagome, this is not going to sound right at all, especially coming from me, but do you think me and Miroku would make a good couple?"

Kagome stared at Sango for a few seconds, until she burst out in laughter. "Of course you guys would make a great couple! Why would you think not?"

Sango shrugged her arms, and then opened her mouth to say something else. It didn't come out until she closed her mouth, then opened it again, preparing her speech.

"Well, you see...that guys name who I came here with name is Seekou...and...I have a feeling that he likes me, and I have this strange attraction to him also...but the thing is, he's my kidnapper..."

Sango sighed, and looked at Kagome's reaction. Her eyes were wide, but she didn't say anything, so she continued.

"...He was the one who threw he in a dungeon for two weeks, then he released me, telling me that it was Naraku's plans...it seems reasonable, but should I have this attraction toward him? I mean, I still have feelings for Miroku, but, he's just a perverted monk, and he doesn't even seem to have feelings for me, he just wants to grope me all the time..." Sango shook her head, and put her head in her hands.

Kagome gaped at what Sango just told her now. She had an attraction for her kidnapper? Was that normal? Sango needed to do the right thing, and Kagome needed to help her with that. She needed to get Miroku to prove that he had feelings for her. But how were they going to do that?

Kagome leant over, and gave Sango a hug. Sango hugged her back, squeezing tightly. She was so glad that she had Kagome to help her with her problems. She knew that she would be there all the time for her, and that was why it made Kagome her sister. They released each other, and Kagome smiled.

"Sango, you need to do the right thing, and you know that. You don't know what the right thing is though. You have feelings for both of these men, but only one seems to even care for you. Well, first of all, is this Seekou ever going to come back here to visit?"

Sango nodded. "He said he would be back...he said he couldn't stand the fact that other men's hands were on me...and then he mumbled something about not being worthy..." Sango giggled, along with Kagome. At least he wasn't cold at heart. Kagome instantly stopped giggling, as she came up with a plan. She rose her finger in the air, catching Sango's attention.

"Well, I would say that wehave to, somehow, see if Miroku has feelings for you. You couldn't just leave Miroku like that. He might be devastated. So, lets just find out if he has feelings for you or not, okay?"

Sango gave a smile, then nodded. She pulled Kagome into an embracing hug, not letting her go. Kagome giggled, and Sango finally let go of her.

"Kagome, what would I do without you?"

Kagome smiled. "Make the wrong choice. Duh." Sango laughed, and stood up.

"Okay, well, we should start making plans then, shouldn't we? We don't have all the time in the world!"

Kagome nodded standing up alongside Sango they both giggled at each other, and began to think of a plan to make Miroku show his feelings for Sango.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Inuyasha sulked down a hallway, one of the many in the castle. He didn't like the fact that he was back in his old home, but he would do it, for Kagome and his friends. Mostly for Kagome though.

What would happen to his relationship with Kikyo? He didn't care at this moment. All he wanted was Kagome's approval of him, he wanted to be friends with her, possibly even more then that, even though that was unlikely.

Highly unlikely.

Sesshoumaru had already taken the place that Inuyasha wanted to take in Kagome's heart, and he knew that. Sesshoumaru had the looks, the talent, the patience...he had none of that. He sighed, and continued think of Kagome.

Kagome had always thought that she was the shadow of Kikyo. That was true to a point. The only thing that he thought that made them different was the fact that Kikyo was dead. Kagome was alive. He knew that he and Kikyo would never be able to be together in this life again. So he figured that if he went to hell with her, he'd be able to spend all eternity with her, and they'd both be happy.

But what about Kagome? He just couldn't leave Kagome. Then she'd never forgive him. He held his head, wondering what to do. He knew Kikyo was going to come for him a one point or another. He couldn't allow her to hurt Kagome, either. If Kikyo believed that Kagome was his, then Kikyo would kill her. So what would he do?

As he was lost in his thoughts, he hadn't noticed his half-brother, walking down the opposite side of the hallway, lost in thought about Kagome also. It wasn't until they both ran into each other, that they noticed each other. Inuyasha jumped back in surprise, and Sesshoumaru growled. Inuyasha sighed.

"Sesshoumaru...I didn't see you there..." Inuyasha tried his best to be calm and content with his brother, but a trace of a snarl could be heard in his voice.

Sesshoumaru answered calmly back, glad that his brother wasn't having a fit. "I did not see you there either, Inuyasha. Now if you would excuse me, I would like to resume my thoughts."

Inuyasha nodded back, but a question popped up in his head.

"...Thinkin' about Kagome?"

Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks, but answered with a low snarl.

"That is none of your concern."

Inuyasha hadn't noticed the snarl in Sesshoumaru's remark, so he just continued. "Well, I was. And I'm pretty sure you were too, causing your look that your giving me at the moment."

Inuyasha heard the low growl come from Sesshoumaru, and he instantly knew that he didn't want him to steal Kagome away from him. Inuyasha held his hands up in defense.

"Hey, hey, hey now! I wasn't thinking about taking her from you! I was just thinking about her and Kikyo...and how bad I feel..." Sesshoumaru didn't respond,

"Do not compare her to that dead wench. She is nothing like that wench. I do not know why you have chosen that dead clay pot over Kagome, but Kagome still isn't over it. You have hurt her, and if you ever compare her again to that disgrace, then I will personally kill you." Sesshoumaru stopped for a moment, then continued to walk down the hall.

Inuyasha was shocked, to say at the least. Had Sesshoumaru, the cold youkai lord of the Western Lands, actually taken up sides with Kagome, the small human miko? Kagome really could work wonders on ones heart! But then the thought hit him. Sesshoumaru wouldn't have taken up sides with Kagome if he didn't have feelings for her. That told him that he definitely didn't have a chance with Kagome.

He sighed in annoyance, and continued to sulk down the hallway, with a small pain in his heart.

'I guess I'm stuck with Kikyo...the disgrace that everybody hates...'
