DO NOT DISTURB

Lady Nefertiti

Last time: "Aiiee!" Inuyasha said as he was singed (burned, scorched) by Sesshomaru's poison whip and rubbed it glaring at him. "Why is this Sesshomaru related to this imbecile?" Sesshomaru asked to no one in the darkness.

'….'

Chapter 5: Disturbance under fire

-Nightfall-

Inuyasha had broken the barrier that hid Sesshomaru and Kagome from anyone's view and he had also accused Sesshomaru of getting Kagome pregnant-to which he was trying (and maybe had successfully attempted) to question Sesshomaru's honor which wasn't going to be taken lightly. Kagome was trying to hold Sesshomaru off from killing Inuyasha. For good that was.

'Brotherly bantering' only went so far…..

Luckily for now Sesshomaru had just burned/scorched him with his whip. She knew that Sesshomaru wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone-even if it involved blood and a shiver ran down her spine.

Kagome was in front of Sesshomaru-pushing and 'pressing' him back in the chest to try and stop (about to go into panic mode and damn but was this guy made of solid rock? It seemed like she was the one being 'pushed back' in the other direction instead )-it wouldn't do anyone any good if Inuyasha was dead. She didn't look up at his face though….it would just scare her. He was probably furious, red demon eyes and all. He stopped all of a sudden and she sighed in real relief as she didn't/wouldn't bother to ask why he did so.

Actually he really did it because Kagome was in front of him and he didn't want her to get hurt or scare her….there was no need to show her or let her know what demons were REALLY LIKE…..

Inuyasha was happily swinging his sword around-still making cool poses and all not noticing 'impending danger or doom' behind him (and a panicked Kagome in the back trying to hold Sesshomaru back/off from killing Inuyasha) That guy really should learn to control his mouth. She supposed he was 'rough around the edges' living in the wilds of Japan and knew nothing about palace life or how to respect peoples 'Rank' or who they were.

"Hnn…" Sesshomaru said 'putting' his whip away. Phew! Great. It was gone. She could relax now and then unfortunately there was a...

…..And the only thing Kagome thought was 'Shit' and swallowed awaiting doom.

"Keh. Oi! Say something wench?" Inuyasha asked turning around to face the both-putting his sword away in a 'cool' way. Bad idea? Apparently it was….

WHIP! (And the poison whip was back out)

"%$%$%#%# $!"

"Do NOT address Kagome in such a demeaning way ever again pup." Sesshomaru said in an icy tone and whipped him again-harder this time it seemed since Inuyasha yelled louder. His inner demon was itching to tear off Inuyasha's head. And he had said so many swear words in front of her too!

"Aiiiieeee! You bastard! Wait till I getta hold of you!" Inuyasha yelled to the entire forest and the heavens above. Jumping up on his feet now he pulled out his sword again as a sound was heard from it. Sesshomaru did not look amused as he waited, eyebrow raised. Was he waiting for Inuyasha to make the first move? Or taunt him until he did? The smirk on his face made Kagome's blood almost run cold.

Yikes! And Kagome panicked thinking about how to stop this. At this rate both were going to tear each other apart for real! She couldn't touch Sesshomaru but she could sit Inuyasha to hell or wherever else she wanted to send him. Even if she said something they probably wouldn't listen or even hear her now! They were in like 'full-demon mode'

These two were just full of hot air! GAH! Demons! She could literally tear her hair out from the annoyance or exasperation.

And where the hell was Miroku and his so-called, 'consoling parenting words' when you needed him?!

'…'

Come to think of it why had Sesshomaru gotten so angry and offended when Inuyasha called her a wench? Almost like it was him that was/had been insulted instead? It's not like Sesshomaru was her mate or something! She was confused? Why had Sesshomaru been furious? Never mind. She'd think of that later. Back to more important things:

"KYYAA! DIE!" Inuyasha yelled and swung his sword at Sesshomaru. Anger, suspicion and disbelief written on his face. To which Sesshomaru just moved to the right and Inuyasha almost ran into the tree, sword in hand. This didn't seem to faze him and Inuyasha just whipped around to glare at him and pointed rudely.

"Why are you defending Kagome like that huh?! It's almost like you care about her or something!" Inuyasha asked. Confirming that the two were 'up to no good' behind the scenes. The hell she wasn't expecting! All Sesshomaru probably had to do was mark her as a mate! It's not like she'd tell him if she was a virgin or not!

'….'

"Inuyasha really!" Kagome started (tried) to get his attention. Right now he was swinging left and right at nothing. Maybe at the wind….

Sesshomaru was angry (she was sure of that one) It was not wise to insult or demean (humiliate, disgrace) one's honor or say that they didn't have any at all.

"Damn you. stay still! You move too fast! Stop dodging!" Inuyasha said trying to take a swipe at Sesshomaru again. Sesshomaru sighed and blocked a punch only to use the same attack and Inuyasha 'flew off' into the nearby tree.

BOOM! And dust few everywhere. This was getting annoying. And they were getting nowhere.

Inuyasha coughed and got back on his feet glaring at Kagome who was behind Sesshomaru. His froze as he heard Sesshomaru's chilling words then:

"…..Almost like it's you're verifying that you really want her to be my mate little brother." Sesshomaru said. He was always full of fire, anger, rage and threatened to kill him every time they saw each other.

He had no real need or reason to kill Inuyasha. He was his only family member-unless he (Sesshomaru) had a mate or a pup/heir to the western throne.

"You…you…" Inuyasha started about to retort….when….

"That's ENOUGH Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said a scary, cruel, icy tone. Meaning: Drop it. end-of-subject.

"Feh." Inuyasha said, arms crossed and looked elsewhere. Even he knew when to quit and then there was a….

BONK!

Sango's boomerang. Seemed like it worked on Inuyasha as well…. "You'll wake up the whole neighborhood this way ….." she said in a merry tone and put her 'weapon' away, the same happy grin on her face like nothing even happened. Seemed like she and Miroku had finally found them in the dark forest.

"Owww! Why are women always hitting me?! Geez! Leave me alone!" Inuyasha said rubbing his head and moving away from her anime-style. Women were scary beings sometimes…that much was for sure.

"Where do you get all that energy from anyway?" Sango said sighing as Miroku came to stand next to her to assess that all the 'danger' was gone. With demons 'on fire' you could never tell and he had a staff 'at the ready' just in case to hit heads with.

Then randomly….

He gets his energy from all of that Ramen he eats!" Shippo said impishly, popping out from behind Sango. And then he said, "…and ZOOM! Power UP!" and took off super-hero style.

'…..'

"How'd you find us?" Kagome asked tying to change the subject (before these two decided to have another 'go' and try and kill each other again) and came to stand in front of Sesshomaru since Inuyasha was rubbing his head on the ground right across from him. It was best to keep these two separated. Permanently.

"Well actually Sango and I were walking back to the village when we heard yelling, flashing lights and sounds of 'thunder'." Miroku said. He went on to say that he picked up their presence since Inuyasha had dropped the barrier 'cutting it down' so to speak with his sword and they followed that.

"….We left Rin at the village in Kaede's hut but this little guy followed us discreetly." Miroku said pointing at Shippo who looked up sheepishly at everyone. He said it was for the best that everyone start walking back to the village. It was dangerous out even if you were a demon.

No one complained and just followed. Well at least Miroku was sometimes consoling and spoke in a 'calm and parenting tone' to soothe small children-mainly right now-these two small hot-headed demon kids (who were no doubt going to try and start something else once they got to the village) Fighting and bickering about nothing in particular really.

Kagome was walking alongside Sesshomaru in silence and knew Inuyasha was probably glaring daggers of 'immense pain' at them right now. She sighed and shook her head as village lights appeared in front of them. Men who were guarding (doing the night shift) came to check who was coming in only to see familiar faces. It might be a human village but they guarded it as best they could.

They actually welcomed Sesshomaru's presence whenever he came here to visit them. Inuyasha was great but Sesshomaru was more protection to them and their village. Huge rumors that he had a 'thing' for their Miko, Lady Kagome.

Some thought that it wouldn't be a bad thing but then there were some who said that their Miko must not be tainted by the forces of evil-that being a demon. Not just any old demon but one who had odd powers, was an aristocrat, a ruler of lands and Royalty.

Talk about moving up the 'influential ladder'

'…'

Besides….it was unheard of that a Pure Miko should fall in love with the demon-kind!

"Welcome back." One said and stood aside to let them in through the gates. Shippo skipped—rather 'zoomed' on ahead to greet Kaede and Rin in their hut while the others followed slowly. No one knew what to say to the other.

Kagome bit her lip as she felt Sesshomaru's sleeve brush against her in the wind as they walked. No need to get excited and sighed inwardly-very loudly. She shook her head as they approached the hut.

She stole a glance at him-an inward soft smile and bit her lip. It would be nice…..it could've been…..had the circumstances been different. How he could cause such a disturbance within her heart was beyond her and it was troubling-a slight painful but not in the bad way.

Everyone walked in sitting as the fire crackled in the middle of the hut. Kagome wasn't sitting very close to Sesshomaru because she didn't want another fight to break out and felt sad about it. She gave a 'wistful' look at Sesshomaru wishing she was sitting in his lap wrapped up in his fluffy mokomoko leaning back against his chest. Now playing with his silky silver hair would have to come later. Was she inwardly licking her lips?

She herself, didn't know when her heart shifted/changed and wanted Sesshomaru instead of Inuyasha. She didn't even think or 'pine' for Inuyasha's heart anymore. Her gaze went to the roof then (thinking no one had been looking)…..and proceeded back into her 'la-la land' of Sesshomaru….

Of course these were her extremely and very private thoughts….not to be shared with anyone…

Even she didn't know how dangerous it was to 'want to play' with a demon…..

When they bit—they bit down hard-and didn't let go.

Sesshomaru-at the same time- gave Kagome a side gaze and caught her wistful look towards him. She probably thought no one noticed it. He smirked and wondered what was going through her head. Hnn….so she wanted to 'play' did she? Well that could be arranged-shame there were too many people in the hut though and Inuyasha DID interrupt them earlier anyway.

Where this was coming from….from the both/pair was as good as anyone's guess…..

Lady Nefertiti: and a spark ignites? lol… please read and review! thanks.

Bantering: an exchange of light, ridiculing, teasing remarks; a good-natured raillery.
