A/N: This was requested/suggested by Wicked_Onna on AO3 ("after Kagome returns to be with Inuyasha she refused to let the brothers fight and starts to pester Sesshomaru just like any other little sister would her big brother but wait what's this Sesshomaru can smile? I hope you can work with this idea I thought it had cute potential").
It kinda went its own way, hope you can still enjoy it...
It took me ages because it didn't want to turn out the way I wanted. I'm still unsure if this one is worth anything, but I doubt I could make it better so there's no need to wait longer

Surprise Attack

It was a peaceful day, full of sunlight, warmth and various scents of nature mixed together. It was also one of the not rainy days of this season, so Kagome decided sh should make the most of it and go for herbs hunting deeper in the forest than usual. SHe had her bow and arrows, so she wasn't afraid of venturing too far and encountering a bad youkai. With Inuyasha killing practically everything that could challenge his dominance in the area it was hard to find any youkai, let alone one wanting to wreck havoc or devour people.

Kagome was harvesting happily on a meadow when she heard and felt a Wind Scar nearby. She stood straight and turned around to face the diction of the attack. Without a second thought she left her basket and grabbed her bow, wanting to aid her mate in his battle - a Wind Scar wasn't usually necessary to deal with small-fry youkai.

Soon the miko reached a big glade where Inuyasha was battling... His brother. Both were holding their signature weapons and the trees around the meadow were often uprooted or broken. It seemed the fight was going for a while. Both men were unharmed, but it could be changed in a matter of seconds - they weren't people who would hold back an attack because the other party was their family. Kagome had to do something.

So she dropped her bow - it was useless - and ran towards Sesshomaru. She knew she could make Inuyasha stop whatever he was doing with a word, it was the older brother who had to be talked out of this ridiculous fight. Why were they fighting, anyway? When she had returned she had learned the brothers reached a truce where they were able to have a civil conversation not involving swords and poisoned claws. Now they were facing each other like in the days of the jewel shard hunt.

"Sesshomaru! Stop that!" she exclaimed, both males growling at her in irritation. She stopped between them. a few pases from the daiyoukai. "You don't have to fight!"

"This one merely wants to make sure that he hanyou is worthy of carrying this one's noble father's blood in his veins while this one still is not in the right mood to kill him," Sesshomaru explained himself. "Step aside, little sister, this one has a little brother to maim."

"Oi! I'm the one who's gonna maim ya!" Inuyasha barked from behind her back, his voice growing closer. She stole a glance back to see Inuyasha run in her direction, his ears perked forward, his eyes glued to the person behind her. She quickly turned back to face Sesshomaru when she heard him sigh. The vision that graced her eyes were his knees in the area where his face should be. With a scowl Kagome leapt forward and grabbed onto the flowing mokomoko before Sesshomaru could fly away fro her reach.

"Your attempts are in vain, little sister, you can't hinder this one's ascent," the daiyoukai pointed out and his eyes sparkled a little when he saw his brother glare up at him. Soon Kagome saw that they were high above the treetops.

"Come back 'ere!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"See, big brother? There is no need to fight..." Kagome started in her best calming voice, trying not to look down at the distance between her and the ground. The furry stuff under her hands shifted and prompted her to look up at the daiyoukai.

"I thought I still was in your range, Inuyasha," he called down, the faintest shadow of a smirk gracing his lips. "We can continue our battle."

"No fuckin' way I'm attackin' ya with Kagome, idiot!" came an instant later. Kagome sighed in relief, but then saw a spark in Sesshomaru's eyes.

"Do you hear it, little brother is unwilling to fight anymore," he said to Kagome clinging to his mokomoko.

"I heard! Land already!" Kagome demanded.

"This one has no desire to land and he won't take orders from a lowly human," Sesshomaru said and raised his chin proudly, glancing at the woman. Kagome growled at him and saw him reach up to stroke his mokomoko. Sesshomaru whispered something in the white fur and the next second Kagome realized that she was falling, the furry thing trailing after her on the way down. Sesshomaru was no longer attached to his precious mokomoko,

She didn't even had time to get scared or cry before a familiar shout of: "Kagome!" filled her ears and a pair of arms wrapped around her, supported her on her way down. Kagome smiled as she looked in Inuyasha's golden eyes. The hanyou looked up to glare at his brother who was merely hovering above them, watching in silence. A minute later something white and fluffy wrapped itself around Inuyasha's shoulders and he practically dropped his wife with a yelp, trying to rip the mokomoko off his person.

"Take it off me!" he growled at the mokomoko happily clinging to his warm arms and trying to wrap itself around his head. While she reached up to help her husband get free she heard a strange noise. She looked up and saw Sesshomaru flashing his fangs in a smirk reminding her about Inuyasha's. She had no time to stare in wonder at that sight, she had a hanyou to save.
