Jealousy
InuYasha was beside himself over the 'training' Apollo was giving to Kagome. The bastard woke her up before the sun was up, and then worked her hard all day until well after the sun went down. The thing that bothered him most was how the damn healer couldn't seem to keep from touching his Kagome. He growled as he remembered the previous two days.
The first morning, Apollo had taken both of Kagome's hands in his and sat down on the ground with her, sitting much closer than InuYasha thought was necessary. InuYasha watched and glared at them as he sat under a tree a few yards away. Eventually the two got up and Apollo started teaching Kagome how to summon and control her powers at will. A skill InuYasha admitted she needed, but the training still made him growl because the jerk kept touching his Kagome for no apparent reason. He was so glad when Apollo ended the training for the day so he could have some alone time with Kagome. He was shocked when Kagome headed straight to bed without so much as a good night to anyone. He didn't let anyone know how much her actions hurt him as he mumbled good night and headed for his own bed.
The second day, Apollo was teaching Kagome how to use the balls of energy she created. This started the hanyou growling again because the bastard kept guiding Kagome's hands over his body. InuYasha was able to relax a little when Apollo began teaching Kagome how to throw her energy balls as weapons. She would throw the energy balls at various targets within the forest. InuYasha smirked when Kagome decided to use Apollo as a target, her energy ball sending him flying several feet in the air when it hit. Then it was back to the touchy-feely stuff again. InuYasha was still growling when Apollo ended the training for the night. Again, Kagome ignored him and went straight to bed. He flattened his ears to his head and headed to his own bed without saying good night to anyone.
InuYasha snapped back to the present day. This was the third day of training and he couldn't stop himself from interfering with Kagome's training when the jerk touched her. "Kagome's starting to get upset, I hope she doesn't sit me" he thought to himself. He growled deeper when he saw Apollo touching Kagome even more. When Apollo captured Kagome's hands in his and started touching various points on his body, something inside InuYasha snapped. "Get your hands of her! There's no reason for you to make her touch you like that!" He growled and forcibly separated their hands. In a blink of an eye, Apollo swung his fist and connected with InuYasha's nose. "Stay out of this, hanyou! I am the sensei here and I know what is necessary to teach Kagome!" InuYasha hit the ground, then jumped back up with a snarl. "Don't ever touch her like that again!" InuYasha swung and missed. Before they knew it, the two were wrestling on the ground, throwing punches left and right. Out of the corner of his eye, InuYasha saw Kagome summon an energy ball. He let go of Apollo and stepped back to watch the jerk get fried. Before he had time to enjoy the bastard's pain, he heard those dreaded words- "InuYasha- SIT!" His face slammed into the ground and he lost consciousness.
InuYasha woke up with a start when cold lake water drenched his face. "What the hell? What'd you do that for, Sango?" He glared at her as he sputtered. Sango's eyes were blazing as she grabbed the hanyou and the healer by their ears. "What the hell did you two do?" She bellowed at them. "What do you mean?" InuYasha snapped back. "You two did something to hurt Kagome and I want to know what!" She pushed them away. "What happened?" InuYasha was becoming frantic. "The two of you have been out for hours! Whatever you did pissed her off do much Kagome has sealed herself inside a barrier and l can't get her to wake up!" Upon hearing this, the two men ran back to the hut as fast as they could, leaving the stunned demon slayer in a cloud of dust.
The god and the hanyou were stopped short at the end of Kagome's futon. A powerful barrier kept repelling them every time they tried to approach the sleeping Miko. "This is all your fault healer!" InuYasha yelled at Apollo before taking a swing at him. "No way! You're the one who wouldn't stay out of the way of Kagome's training!" Apollo shot back as his fist connected with InuYasha's gut. Miroku rushed into the room and slapped a sutra on each of their foreheads while chanting a binding spell. The two fighting idiots were instantly immobilized. "What the hell! Get this thing off me Monk before I really get mad!" InuYasha growled as his eyes started to turn red. The normally serene Monk snapped. "Do you two idiots even realize what you've done?" He glared at the idiots. "Feh! I didn't start it!" InuYasha gruffed, feeling guilty. "I had nothing to do with this!" Apollo lied through his teeth. "Shows what you two know. While I can't enter the barrier, I was able to meditate and read Kagome's emotions through the barrier. She is angry with both of you right now and has imposed a self induced coma on herself until she can get her anger under control." He paused to calm himself down. "Now, I am going to release you and we are going to go out into the other room where we will discuss what to do calmly and rationally." He started to remove the sutras, then paused. "A warning to both of you- if either of you misbehaves, I won't stop Sango from beating you both to a bloody pulp. She is extremely pissed and itching to beat the heck out of both of you for causing Kagome to do this to herself" He heard both men gulp air at the thought of the angry demon slayer. He finished releasing the sutras and roughly pushed the two idiots out into the other room.
