Inuyasha's still watching Kagome when Sesshoumaru approaches.
He tenses. It's a conditioned response. But he said he would give things a chance, and he's not going to go back on his word.
Pushing back his discomfort, he turns around and quickly bumps his brother's nose. "Hey."
Sesshoumaru startles, caught off guard.
Cringing, Inuyasha feels the tell-tale burn of embarrassment in his face. But then, he sees the unsteady rise and fall of Sesshoumaru's adam's apple as the daiyoukai swallows back his discomposure and leans down to return the greeting.
The embarrassment begins to lessen.
This is hard for them both.
