Educating Sesshoumaru

A/N- Welcome to the fifth chapt, took me a while, but here it is...

I'm really sorry for the wait, but I am really trying...what with my computer going to putt and all, so it really is a pain in the ass trying to write...

Disclaimer- InuYasha isn't mine and never will be...but that doesn't mean I can't dream doesn't it?

Anyway, I'm going to keep going and hopefully things will turn out alright...

'Thoughts'

Onto the fic!

Chapter 5:

Midday Complications

--------------------------------------------------

0o0---------------------------------------------------------------

To say that they had tried to stop him, one only had to remember the 'try'part. After all, they were only human, while he was half-youkai.

So frankly, they didn't stand a chance, but they tried anyway.

Tightening his grip upon InuYasha's forearm, Miroku dug his heels deep into the ground, "stop it InuYasha, Kagome needs to rest and you awakening them is only going to make things worse!"

Growling deeply, InuYasha flashed his fangs at the monk, his anger and frustration evident. "Get off me Miroku, this is between Icicle ass and me, so stay outta it!!"

Using just enough strength to dislodge Miroku and send him sliding, InuYasha huffed in annoyance even as he stomped the last couple of feet to where the proverbial flower mountain lay.

Extending his claws as he narrowed his eyes at the sleeping countenance of his brother, InuYasha raised his arm, poised to strike when..."Osuwari!"

With a loud 'thump' InuYasha struck the ground, groaning in pain and anger, "Kagome, you buso..."

Yawning, Kagome rolled over onto her back and looked up at the midday sky wondering why she was still sleeping during the day.

Hearing those idiots arguing had woke her up and she still felt decidedly sleepy, but she needed to get up and get lunch going at least. Stretching herself out completely on the ground, Kagome started when her hand contacted something hard.

'And deliciously warm,' her mind whispered, blinking in confusion she turned her head only freeze when she saw Sesshoumaru's very human sleeping face.

And that's when her memories of previous events returned to her, groaning at her sudden and unwelcome headache, Kagome sat up pressing her face into her hands.

'Now what am I gonna do?'

Understanding Kagome's worry, Sango hurried her way over and gave Kagome a soft pat upon the shoulder. When the girl looked up at her, Sango smiled gently, "welcome back Kagome...you had us worried for a moment there."

Smiling sheepishly, Kagome nodded her head in agreement, "yeah...I can't believe I even did that. I can barely control my powers let alone use them for that long; I have no clue as to what I was thinking..."

Sango just shook her head; Kagome was always too hard on herself. Hearing a loud curse at her side, Sango couldn't help but feel a headache coming on as well.

Having finally been freed from the spell, InuYasha drug himself up from his hole and snatched Kagome by the arm, tugging her away from his brother and closer to himself.

He didn't quite understand it, but he really didn't like seeing the two of them together...it made him feel really confused and angry.

Glaring into Kagome's dark eyes, InuYasha barked out, "damn it Kagome! Why the hell did you make that deal with that Teme?! You know he's just going to use you and then throw you away, he hates ningens baka!"

Sighing at InuYasha's indignant tone, Kagome just looked away unable to look into his eyes. "I know InuYasha..."

Narrowing his eyes even further at that InuYasha just knew there was something she wasn't telling him, "...but?"

Shaking her head, Kagome tugged her arm free and walked over to where Sesshoumaru's Tensega and Tokijin lay. "It's my fault that this happened InuYasha...and I have to do something to make up for it. By all rights I should be dead right now."

Not really knowing how to respond to that, InuYasha just kept a wary eye on his brother. Feeling his claws lengthening once again in anger, 'it's all his damn fault, if he hadn't shown up when he did, then none of this would have happened!'

Kagome looked up when someone held a length of cloth before her. She smiled when her eyes met those of Miroku, "thanks Miroku...I can't just leave these lying here...besides," sparing a glance over to where Sesshoumaru lay Kagome sighed, "I don't even know if he can still wield them or not..."

Smiling, Miroku laid the cloth over the top of both swords and proceeded to roll them up in the cloth. "Better to keep them safe until we know for sure, after all, we can't afford for someone to get a hold of either sword."

Nodding her head at that Kagome walked over to where she'd left her bag, she was hungry and frankly, she didn't care even if the world ended in the next few minutes.

Food first, she could save the world later.

Sango had followed her closely, it didn't matter how much Kagome had said she was alright, sometimes the girl just let her own needs go after those of others. She'd said it before, Kagome was too nice.

Having pulled out a few packets of ramen, Kagome proceeded to scout for a good place to put the fire pit and she knew that they were near water. They hadn't gotten too far away from a nearby river when this whole mess had started.

'Speaking of which, I wonder if he'll eat ramen. After all, he's human now and whether he likes it or not, he can't eat just raw meat. At least not until things are returned to normal.'

Deciding to just go with it, Kagome started opening one of the packets, "InuYasha, please go and get some water so that we can get the food cooking, alright?"

InuYasha looked reluctant to move, but finally it seemed hunger won out over his youkai instincts and he took the pot and took off towards the river. Smiling at his retreating back, Kagome spared another glance over at Sesshoumaru and noticed something off.

"Hey Sango, where's Shippou and Rin?"

But her question hadn't been needed, "right here Kagome!"

Jerking, Kagome turned to look off to her side and just gaped when she saw Shippou sitting next to a dozing Rin and yawning Ah-Un. Before him sat a small fire and she could see several pieces of meat roasting in said fire.

'Now why didn't I notice that before and why didn't anyone tell me?' Still rather confused, Kagome got to her feet and carried the ramen with her as she approached Shippou.

"What's all this Shippou?" As she knelt down she couldn't help but blink in utter surprise when Shippou thrust a hunk of cooked meat into her face.

"Sesshoumaru told me that you'd be hungry and would need a lot of meat when you woke up, so eat up Kagome!"

Unable to stop a smile from crossing her lips, Kagome took the meat gladly from the kit. "Thanks Shippou, this is good for me, why don't you give the other's some?"

Shippou seemed to think on that for a moment before he nodded his head and grabbed three more of the spits he'd made, he then took off towards the others.

As if feeling his departure, Rin shifted rubbing at her eyes before smiling at Kagome. "Hi pretty lady, where is Lord Sesshoumaru?" As if just noticing that he wasn't there, Rin looked around the clearing frantically.

Giggling, Kagome pointed over towards the flowers, "He's over there, why don't you go see if he wants anything to eat?" The girl just nodded her head happily before taking off towards the flower mountain.

It seemed that Jaken took that moment to return to the world of the living, his scream of shock making everyone in the clearing, including Ah-Uh, flinch.

He hadn't caught sight of Rin unearthing Sesshoumaru because he was too focused upon seeing Kagome about to take a bite of meat. It was as if his face paled even more, if that was possible.

Lifting a skinny hand he pointed it at Kagome and shouted loudly, "you witch!! How dare you carve up my Lord and proceed to eat him! I shall kill you and avenge my Lord! Staff of Two, Ooofh!!"

Kagome could only watched in muted shock as the toad went flying straight into a nearby tree only to fall unconscious once again. A rock rolled from his face down to his feet and Kagome tilted her head in confusion. 'What just happened?!'

"Damn it, Jaken no baka! This Sesshoumaru isn't dead."

Immediately, Kagome snapped her head in the direction of Sesshoumaru's voice and nearly choked on a sudden peal of laughter.

The Taiyoukai turned human had indeed awakened, but since he'd been surrounded by flowers, it seemed almost as though they'd taken a liking to him.

Because there were well over a dozen flowers sticking in his hair and clothes, and from the look on his face, he didn't have a single clue of his appearance. Which only made matters worse when he tried to glare at her.

That was the limit of her control and Kagome collapsed as loud peals of laughter filled the clearing as she lost her ability to breathe in favor of laughing her ass off.

And from the sound of things, she wasn't the only one.

Narrowing his eyes even as he struggled to shake off the tiredness he still felt, Sesshoumaru glared at all the occupants of the clearing. He knew they were laughing at him, but why was the question.

Feeling a tug on his sleeve, Sesshoumaru looked down to see that Rin was smiling up at him, while all about her were dozens of flowers and that was when it all clicked into place.

He felt a strange heat flare to life on his face, which thoroughly confused him as he watched Kagome continuing to laugh. Yes, the oh so mighty Sesshoumaru was blushing in embarrassment.

InuYasha chose that moment to return and as he took everything in, his body began to shake in utter fury as he watched his brother. It seemed that Sesshoumaru was starting to like Kagome, why else would he be blushing while looking at her like that?

It didn't take long before Kagome's mirth finally died down and she was panting lightly as she pulled herself back into a sitting position. And that's when she saw it; Sesshoumaru was blushing, actually blushing!

'This has got to be a dream, human or not, he's still Sesshoumaru. And why is he staring at me like that?!'

Feeling her body heat underneath those piercing eyes, Kagome felt her own cheeks flushing as she turned her eyes away shyly. She wasn't quite sure how to handle this strange turn of events.

That was the final straw for InuYasha though.

A loud 'clang' rang throughout the clearing as the pot full of water InuYasha had been carrying struck the ground. A deep throated growl echoed in its wake as InuYasha narrowed his blazing amber eyes upon Sesshoumaru.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you!"
