Chatper Four

"Inuayasha there's something I need to tell you," Kagome said her voice shaky.

He said nothing, but nodded his head in approval and rose up from his spot. Sesshomaru on the other hand stared daggers at the half breed. This shouldn't be right he thought to himself. She should be confessing her undying love for him at the moment. Even if it was in front of all of her friends. Though in the end he knew Kagome was going to pick him.

They walked for a few minutes trying to get away from the rest of the group so they couldn't hear what was being discussed. As they spotted a clearing they decided that it should suffice.

"Inuyasha I know it was a shock for you to see me and Sesshomaru together the other day," Kagome said slowly, "but…"

She was silenced as Inuyasha's lipscrashed onto her lips. The kiss was soft and nothing too demanding. Kagome found it to be quite nice though in her mind she was comparing it to the kiss Sesshomaru had given her. Sesshomaru's kiss was blazing with passion and it made her feel as if a new spirit had awakened itself in her, while Inuyasha's kiss felt as if it were something friendly. It was something different from the first time when she had kissed him. Now the feelings the kiss developed seemed as though they were only on friendly terms and that was the way it should stay.

The kiss had ended as it had came and Kagome knew that the path she had chosen was right. Both brothers would come to an understanding of what she wanted even if someone had to get hurt.

In the few seconds that had just passed Kagome found herself in the embrace of Inuyasha. Her hands lying on his chest, while his arms nestled around her waist. Kagome discovered this position to be quite comfortable and for some reason she didn't want it to end. Her head laid down on his shoulder blade and her eyes closed.

Her body told her that she wanted Inuyasha, but in her mind the only man that flooded her head was Sesshomaru. It was like all she thought about now was Sesshomaru, but why? Why was it that one minute her mind was on Inuyasha and the next Sesshomaru turned out to be her world. It just didn't seem right.

"Inuyasha," Kagome spoke again, "This isn't right."

"What do you mean," Inuyasha said, but it seemed as if it came out as a whisper as he didn't want it to be so. "Don't tell me that your picking him over me." His eyes squinted tight and he only held her tighter.

"You owe Kikyou, remember?" Kagome said letting out all of her emotions, "Your going to hell with her. You told me so once and you don't have to tell me again. This is why I'm choosing Sesshomaru. He'll be there for me and now that I think of it he's a changed man. He's different. I feel different when I'm around him just like it used to be with us, but he doesn't reject me for someone else."

Inuyasha was in shock to say the least. He released his hold on Kagome and stepped back to take a good look at what his damn half brother had done to HIS Kagome. "It must be some kind of a spell or something," Inuyasha thought and he was going to get to the very bottom of this, but for the moment he wasn't sure how to answer her. He did say he was going to hell with Kikyo, but at the same time he wanted to be with Kagome. Why couldn't he have both?

"I won't allow it. End of story. Your not going to be with him. I don't care," Inuyasha yelled half fuming as he let go of Kagome and it seemed that if he continued on much longer smoke would be flowing out of his ears.

"What do you mean I can't be with him. I'm a grown woman and I can decide for myself who I want to associate myself with and who not so don't you go telling me what to do," Kagomes yelled back, while poking Inuyasha in the chest.

"Not while I'm around you won't."

"And what are you going to do about it. Tell my mother?"

Inuyasha's claws stuck out and started to crack his knuckles. If the wench won't listen to him then he was going to do something about it to make her listen.

Kagome seeing this only smirked at him Two can play at this game. She turned on her back and started to walk away.

He leaped up into the air and as he was about to tackle her down his ears perked up hearing the command "sit boy." And as he thought it was the end he heard a bunch of more "sits."

Kagome just smiled at her triumph, though in her mind she knew it was going to end like that. She just wished Inuyasha would be more mature about it.

As she walked back to camp she noticed that everyone had fallen asleep except for Sesshomaru who was nowhere to be found. She started to look for him, but only found that it was pointless.

Sesshomaru who was perched on top of a tree waited for the little onna to come back. Inuyasha must have upset her again because of the many 'sits' that rang through his ear. Even if they were far him his hearing range he still heard the yelling's at the end

He knew he was going to have to comfort his little miko afterwards and as he saw her walking back to camp and then looking for him. He jumped down from the branches of the tree and landed right behind her swiftly.

"Kagome," he said softly.

She was about to scream until she saw who it was that was behind her. She wasn't used to people sneaking up behind her and she seemed she was going to have to get used to it because Sesshomaru walked so smoothly that his footsteps were never heard.

He almost gave her a heart attack but she just clutched her chest and fell into him. Feeling the warmth that he provided for her even if his armor was in the way.

"Sesshomaru," she answered, but he just silenced her with his lips and jumped back up to the tree he had previously occupied.

"Just rest for now for tomorrow awaits another day," Sesshomaru said and held her close.

Kagome knew he wasn't going to have her explain the whole fight to him and somehow he knew she had chosen him without her even telling him. She was just glad he was here with her right now because she really needed him at the moment.

Soon her eyes drifted close and sleep took over. Though in her mind she knew something wasn't right she didn't let it bother her for the moment because she had her beloved by her side to help her conquer her problems.

Unknown to all of them but Sesshomaru the potion seemed to being working and he liked when things went his way. Though as he said that tomorrow awaits another day he sure was going to get a rude awakening as tomorrow would come.
