InuYasha was angry. No "angry" didn't cover it. He was furious. "Don't pull that shit you bastard!" The hanyou couldn't believe his brother! Trying to look all innocent when InuYasha could see the slight quirk of his mouth as he tried not to laugh. "Don't act innocent! You sure as hell can't pull it off! You did that shit on purpose!" InuYasha yelled. He was not letting Sesshomaru get away with this.

Sesshomaru watched as InuYasha slowly walked out of the stream in amusement. The hanyou looked ridiculous. All sopping wet from head to bare toes, sporting a snarl that was trying to be menacing. "This is the most amusing idea I've had on this entire trip so far." he thought to himself. "I don't know what you're talking about InuYasha." he said, feigning ignorance. He didn't really pay attention to the hanyou approaching him with an evil glint in his eyes. When he did take note of his brother, InuYasha was standing only a few feet away from him with an innocent looking face, save for the glint in his eyes that told him something unpleasant was about to happen.

InuYasha watched as his brother realized what he was about to do and almost broke character when Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "You would do well to remember just who I am half breed." Sesshomaru said icily. InuYasha only smiled sweetly at him before abruptly shaking the water from the stream off of his body. This resulted in Sesshomaru getting a full spray of the cold water. InuYasha smiled triumphantly when he saw Sesshomaru's expression, then broke out into all out laughter as his brother's face took on a disgusted grimace.

Sesshomaru wanted to gut the damned half breed where he stood. How dare that lowly hanyou? Who did he think he was? He was going to pay for this.

InuYasha abruptly stopped laughing when he smelled something rancid in the air. He gulped. "Oh shit. I forgot about that." he thought as he jumped up into the nearest tree, his brother's poison dripping claws just nearly missing him by a hair. He probably should have thought his little revenge plan through better.

"I thought you wanted us to bond you bastard!" he yelled at his seething brother. He was measuring the odds of him escaping unscathed. Sesshomaru would definitely not let this go but in the heat of the moment it was the best plan he could think of. The damned bastard needed someone to knock him off that high ass horse he was always on, and he totally deserved it. The only regret InuYasha had was that he might not be able to laugh at this later because at the rate he was going, Sesshomaru was definitely going to kill him.

"If you remain still for only a moment you'll be perfectly bonded with my claws you filthy half breed." Sesshomaru seethed.
