Chapter 6: Hanyou

Last time: "You wouldn't understand..." Inuyasha said as something burned in his heart. 'Kagome, I realize now that all I wanted was to see your face smiling as you're doing with my brother with all your heart and soul.'

You will never know where you will finally find happiness and with whom...

Lady Nefertiti: enjoy reading.

-The next day-

"Feh!! " Inuyasha growled. Yeah... he was pissed off and so was Kikyo. Great like they needed more tension in the group. Miroku and Sango decided to be wise and busied themselves with cleaning up camp because Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were glaring at each other and yes cracking their knuckles too. Sango sighed and looked at the pair. This wasn't new and she was actually surprised they were being civil, well so much as civil went anyway. Usually they were at each other's throats. Maybe they were behaving because it was Kagome's eyes that were shooting daggers at them occassionally?

Demons:

1.) Showoffs...

2.) Territorial...

3.) Dangerous...

4.) thick headed...

5.) Stubborn...

Puppies...

"I think those two need to be separated." Miroku said getting up and brushing his robes and his hand 'accidentally' brushed against Sango's bottom. Sango sighed and Kagome shook her head.

(BONK!)

Like this wasn't familiar...

"So what's the plan?" Kagome said offhandedly as if nothing had happened.

"Plan?" Sango said.

"There's no plan?!" Kagome said.

"Well..." Sango said to be cut off (very rudely) by Inuyasha.

"The plan is that I dump Kagome down the well, seal the damn well, kill Sesshomaru then unseal the well and let Kagome back into our world!" Inuyasha said.

(Cue the Crickets)

"Indeed?" Sesshomaru said. Why must his brother always be such a disappointment?

Kagome's aura blazed with fire (literally) as she stomped... well wobbled her way over to Inuyasha, intending to smack him across the head rather than sit him because the poor ground didn't deserve Inuyasha craters. She had enough of everyone's antics! Why couldn't things go normal for once? Why couldn't people just get along for once? Why was Inuyasha always so hot-tempered? He was going to get himself killed one day! And Kagome would be too sick and tired to help him! But huh? her legs were moving but she wasn't getting anywhere...what...oh...Sesshomaru had a hold of the back of her shirt and shook his head. Attacking and killing Inuyasha was his job and besides Kagome was injured as it was...it was enough to make Inuyasha turn full demon and attack Kagome, blindly and accidentally of course. A mess Sesshomaru didn't have time to take care of.

Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru's hold on Kagome like she was his property and whatnot and clenched his teeth staring at the ground with hate. Why were they so easy and comfortable with each other like that? Kagome was too nice for her own damn good! Sesshomaru tried killing her twice! You don't just go off and fall in love with the male that killed you now did you?! unless you wanted him to kill you while you were sleeping! Maybe she hit her head one day while jumping down the well...that was the only plausible idea/reason that came to mind. Speaking of jumping down wells...

Kikyo looked miffed as she saw her Inuyasha worrying and thinking about Kagome all the time! Clearly his loyalty still laid with that wench! Hmm...possibly the reason cause she was alive! But that didn't mean that Kagome could have both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha! and on top of that Kagome just basically spelled out that she liked Sesshomaru! Was her Inuyasha so thick in the head or so loyal to Kagome because he had to protect her? And that Kouga demon ' a full demon' offered the same thing and he was better for Kagome than Inuyasha was...no even Sesshomaru was better. Great now she sounded like a matchmaker...

Inuyasha wanted to hit something because even he knew that he had no real hold on Kagome. Oh he heard her all right when she preached of how her world was and how woman had the freedom of speech, talked back to men, worked, got educated and made thier own way in future life. Even Inuyasha knew his boundaries with Kagome and knew when not to cross her. Ordering her like she was a piece of property, treating her like she was made of glass, worrying over her like she was going to get hurt if she even moved...he would lose her. Amazing how Kagome still stuck by his side even now. But Kagome knew how important promises and honors were! especially in this time! so she should know that he'd made a promise to Kikyo and she should be okay with it!

But Sesshomaru...did he know that? He came from high youkai society and Kagome hadn't really lectured him and he didn't really like to listen to other people order and lecture him did he? That was his mothers job.

"Uhm..." Sango said aloud.

"Don't get involved into this situation Sango-sama." Miroku said gently pulling her out of the way. "I thought even you as a slayer should know not to mess with demons when they decide to duke it out."

"But..." Sango said not resisting him pulling her along to safety.

"Kagome can handle the pair of them." Miroku said answering Sango's silent question.

Inuyasha's ear twitched. He'd go along with this mess until the time being because maybe having Sesshomaru around wasn't a bad idea...for now. He could help them along with getting shards and with enemies that came along. But when Kagome's ankle got better he'd make sure that Sesshomaru didn't come into thier presence ever again. He liked seeing Kagome happy but not with his mangy brother! Hell even that Hobo guy from the future was better! at least he hadn't tried to kill her let alone threaten her!

Still...

"I HATE you!" Inuyasha seethed raising a fist and looking up at him from where he was.

'Ehhhh?' was everyone's thought as they looked at him like was crazy. Kinda mentally disturbed wasn't he?
