DO NOT DISTURB

Lady Nefertiti

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

Chapter 6: Disturbance Misunderstood

-Kaede's hut-

There was complete silence in the hut as everyone sat against the walls. Inuyasha-arms crossed in his usual manner. The way his ears were twitching/moving around was not a good thing. It was NEVER a good thing. Something was amiss in this hut. Something was happening right now despite the quiet and peaceful atmosphere and he didn't like it. He'd effectively broken down the barrier Sesshomaru and Kagome were hiding under and inwardly thought while looking at them now with a 'keh'-why did they need to put up a barrier in the first place to talk?

Luckily he hadn't caught them right now when both were giving each other 'loving gazes' otherwise there would be hell to pay…..

Couldn't they perhaps talk out in the open? Ha! He caught them red-handed. That just meant they really had something going on. Besides they could easily talk in private out in the open too-just that their voices weren't heard and that they were 'out of ear-shot'. Anyway what could they possibly want to talk about in the dead of night that was so interesting? They had nothing in common and Sesshomaru looked down on humans so then what?

Good question….

He looked over at Sesshomaru then with an irritated expression and another 'keh' wondering if maybe he was just jumping to false conclusions and/or was 'reading between the lines' so to speak. Sesshomaru?! and Kagome?! Together? Like mates or something? What a ridiculous thought and he felt like he'd just wasted his time trying to find out some sort of secret hidden under Sesshomaru and Kagome's 'romantic' behavior and/or actions which were none of course!

Like hell they were all lovey-dovey just because they looked at each other or just talked alone sometimes. Sesshomaru (annoyingly) did travel as part of their pack and showed respect to all members. Kagome was a human but was also had her 'Miko' powers so perhaps Sesshomaru just gave her more acknowledgement because of it? It's not like the two were going to run away or elope or something ha-ha!

'..…..'

Suddenly (or maybe unfortunately)…..

"Sesshomaru-sama! This Rin thought you and Lady Kagome got uhhmm…lovee…and stuff when you both left the hut? Is she your mate now?! I have a mother now?!" Rin said cutely poking her head out from Sango's side in an excited voice going on to say that Inuyasha-sama ran out like a brave warrior-sword and all-thinking they were uhmm… always 'doing stuff' yeah! That was the word!

'…'

Nothing came out. ABSOLUTELY nothing from anyone. Not even an uncomfortable cough. Nobody sounded like they were breathing either. They all seemed to be 'waiting for it' but there was this odd silence in the room. Some started 'moving away' comically from the danger that was about to unfold.

Like both brother's didn't have enough earlier outside trying to fight each other for no real reason. They all already knew both of them were going to have 'another go' once inside the hut anyway. They had come in prepared so they could stop them (perhaps drag them outside the hut) and they didn't want Kaede's hut destroyed either. These were hard to build and to repair.

At least they didn't kill each other….that was the good part…..

'….'

Inuyasha jumped up and was about to pull his sword out at Sesshomaru (maybe wave it around to intimidate him) to get lost or go 'find his own woman' when…..

"Little brother. Do NOT pull that sword out. You know very well why." Sesshomaru said (from where he was sitting and just looked up at Inuyasha) in a calm voice with a hidden undertone of ice in it that made him gulp. Inuyasha was not stupid. He grew up in royal court for a while and Sesshomaru was NOT playing around.

Inuyasha was about to open his mouth when he was cut off by Sesshomaru who knew he'd say nothing good. Just perhaps yell saying 'he knew?' or say his usual 'keh' and sit back down? or just defy him and say 'don't tell me what to do' (and pull out the sword anyway)? and then Kagome would sit him to wherever she wanted to send him?

"…..Do not be so foolish or have the wrong impression. You dare to question my honor? Had this Sesshomaru had any sort of relationship with Kagome you would be the first to find out being that you are a demon and can sense it. As you can tell she does not hold or carry my scent on her or have my mating mark on her-which is a silver color btw and can be clearly seen on the side of her neck-Correct?" Sesshomaru started.

"…..Now then since I am a Taiyoukai other lower level/class demons would stay away/steer clear from Kagome right? Because she is 'taken' and they don't want to deal with a higher class demon who can kill them and perhaps eliminate their whole entire clan in anger for high treason because they tried taking away my mate." Sesshomaru continued on.

"….Besides if this Sesshomaru did end up taking a human mate she would be someone with some abilities (like a whip, Miko powers, weapons etc…) or someone who could at least fight like this little Miko here can. So Kagome is NOT my mate at all. Do not misunderstand this again. You are creating problems for everyone and tension within the tachi. Do not make me kick you out." Sesshomaru ended to confirm this.

What he really meant was if Inuyasha brought up this issue again, Sesshomaru would kill him for not only making himself (Inuyasha) look bad but embarrassing Kagome as well-who was being accused of having some sort of secret 'relationship' with Sesshomaru and was cheating on her mate-to which she had none.

'…'

That sounded EVEN WORSE! To Inuyasha and was about to pull out all of his pretty silver hair in frustration. Why'd Sesshomaru have to give him a lecture?! Because he was the big brother trying to teach him the ways of demonic court? and don't be stupid about it?

"Dammit….haaa….sit….Inuyasha….just please sit." Kagome said in exasperation from where she was sitting and shook her head. He was just asking for it. Even Sesshomaru had his 'limit'.

(boom. boom.)

" #^$&#*!"

"Thee has broken my floor." Kaede said calmly looking at it from where she was sitting. Oops…forgot about that.

'…'

"This Sesshomaru will see to it that they are fixed. There are plenty of 'builders' at the palace to repair them." He said to her in a respectful manner.

Then randomly (when everyone thought there was 'peace in the air')

"So then you must have someone special in your other village!" Rin said cutely happy about it. (She wasn't aware Kagome lived in the future) and asked what his name was and when Kagome was getting married and if she could come.

"Hobo is your lover then?! How come I didn't know you had an intended mate!?" Inuyasha yelled jumping out of his crater looking livid with rage about to rush over to the future and beat the living hell out of him and ask if he 'did anything' with Kagome already. Wait….he didn't know where this guy lived. Damn. Talk about jumping to really false conclusions.

The room coughed just 'waiting for it'. It would come now…..

"Who is this Hobo fellow?" Sesshomaru asked in a pleasant voice (that sounded scary like he was going to do away with him in a royal/regal nice way).

Kagome blinked suddenly scared for Hojo's life and didn't say anything. Geez! These two! She sat back down with a 'huff' daring these two brothers to ask her anything else, crossed her arms and looked elsewhere. Maybe her purifying powers would come in handy. Yeah! zap their ***!

'….'

"Do tell 'this Monk' about your real love life then…." Miroku asked in an interested voice. So even Kagome had a secret life elsewhere! He wasn't surprised really. She lived there and would/should have friends, family and love there as well. She was about to say that she had none but then there was always…..

"…..So then Lady Kagome have you ever had an uhh…I think you called it an affair! Yes! in the future as well? Was it just one guy or did you do it twice?" Miroku asked looking totally serious. He was waiting for her to confirm this and tell him what the guy's names were.

-DEAD SILENCE-

"Miroku be glad I don't have one of those necklaces for you. I'd have sat you into the ground more than Inuyasha." Kagome said sighing. GAH! She needed a long vacation taking Sango with her of course.

"What is this Affair word?" Sesshomaru asked. It must be a bad term for Kagome to have that expression-and her face color was a pinkish-red. No one said anything. Kagome stared at the ceiling like she heard nothing. He didn't know whether to be annoyed, angry or very wary of this dangerous thing. Surely Kagome wouldn't have done this 'affair' thing right? Why was this bothering him? Surely he wasn't feeling jealous or something? Like how dare those two 'do that thing' with Kagome!

'…'

Kagome gave a side look to Sesshomaru who was busy thinking it seemed. She bit her lip wondering if she should be upset. Was this love/crush for Sesshomaru one-sided? Seriously he had said so himself that she was not his mate and would never be.

And then Miroku of all people had to mention this 'affair' word. How could she possibly explain to everyone what that was?! And besides only Sango knew it and was doing a good job hiding that she knew what it was.

Right now Sesshomaru was probably thinking that she didn't tell him because she was hiding something like she actually was already seeing a guy! And doing this 'affair' thing with him.

As she wondered/brainstormed how to go about this thing that just happened (and how to smooth it over) she failed to miss the expression Sesshomaru gave her. It was rather a devil's smirk and curious look saying, 'I don't take no or your silent behavior' as an answer and that he would get an answer out of her not matter what. Perhaps he'd drag her up against his body and carry her off into the darkness again?

Was this upcoming danger unfolding for Kagome?

It appeared to his inner demon-he wasn't satisfied.

Talk about odd misunderstandings…..

Lady Nefertiti: Inuyasha's probably going to have a nervous breakdown before this fic ends lol…Please read and review! thanks.
