Kagome gave an annoyed huff as she glared at the Hanyou before her, hand caressing the handle of her sword for comfort. He had been getting on her nerves for the last three weeks...pretty much since Sesshomaru had left her, Shippo, and Ah-Un at the village. He had left the dragon without a word, and Kagome wasn't sure if he had meant to, or if the reptile had decided to stay on its own. The belligerent look the dragon cast after his master had her leaning towards the latter.
"I'm telling you Kagome, he's not coming back!" the hanyou continued, rolling his eyes as he helped Kikyou pick the herbs that the miko wanted.
Kagome stood off to the side, just watching. She'd always been horrible at telling them apart, and knew that the other woman would want none of her help. In spite of having brought the woman back from 'undeath' with a large amount of her healing power, the woman had still held onto her jealousy towards her. Not that Kagome could blame her, after all, she had pretty much been a 'third wheel' since the woman had been resurrected.
"I don't want to hear it," she hissed at her friend, green eyes narrowing on his laughing form.
"He's the ice prince. I'm surprised he even let you stay for this long. What the hell did you do to piss him off, anyways?" the hanyou asked, ignorant of the way her hand tightened on the blade.
"Mayhap she fell in love with him?" Kikyou asked knowingly, her eyes dancing in amusement at the thought of causing Inuyasha to hate the woman near them.
"Bitter little bitch," Kagome growled under her breath, drawing her sword and sitting down to polish it.
"No way! I knew it!" Inuyasha crowed triumphantly, shocking his mate.
"Oh please, he knew that I had feelings for him since we traveled searching for Naraku. If that got on his nerves, he never would have allowed my company in the castle," Kagome snorted, giving the couple a distainful look.
"You are very...bitter, Kagome-sama," Miroku said quietly as he walked towards them, a toddler on his hip.
Kagome looked longingly at the child for a moment, before turning her eyes to her soul-brother.
"Yeah, the court life does that to you. I think it was part of the reason he sent me away," she admitted, holding the sword carefully as she watched the monk come closer with the child.
She worried that he might trip and fall on it, though, she was more known for that among this group.
"Demons are disgusting," Kikyou spat, causing Inuyasha's ears to lay flat on his head.
"Their...instincts are kinda strange, compared to ours, but...you have to admit, they're sexy as hell," Kagome grinned, in spite of who she was talking to.
Kikyou's eyes flicked towards Inuyasha, before she looked away, blushing brightly, mumbling a soft, "perhaps."
