It's official guys-I know when I'm moving. I also know that I fail at confessing to people I like. *sigh* I own nothing. Enjoy~!

Step 3: jealousy. A powerful yet deadly weapon if used wrong. InuYasha and InuTaisho had planned on how to make Sesshomaru feel jealousy. And now was the time.

"I'm going out," InuYasha announced after dinner finished and Hikaru took his plate away.

"Where to?" asked Sesshomaru.

"My house," InuYasha said, heading for the exit. Would InuTaisho remember his line?

"Why don't you go as well, Sesshomaru?" InuTaisho asked, "So you two can get to know each other a bit better." Perfect. Now InuYasha had to give a bit of a fight so it wouldn't look suspicious.

"Tch. Don't bother," InuYasha said, "I'm going alone."

"Come now, InuYasha, don't be that way," InuTaisho said, "I insist."

"I couldn't care less if you insist," InuYasha snapped.

"InuYasha-!" Sesshomaru said before InuTaisho cut him off.

"It's fine, Sesshomaru." The older dog demon turned back to the Hanyou. "Please, InuYasha. It's best if he goes along."

"Tch." InuYasha glared straight ahead. "Fine."

Sesshomaru stood up as Haruhi came out and collected his dish. "Let us get going."

As they walked, InuYasha scanned the area. Surely… as he had hoped. Nearby, Kikyo was sitting in her yard. "I'll be right back."

He jogged to her, Sesshomaru staying behind. "Kikyo!"

Kikyo looked up, face blank as always. "InuYasha."

"I need a favor of you," InuYasha said, smoothing his black t-shirt and indigo jeans, "In order to make my 'Alpha' jealous."

Several minutes later, InuYasha and Kikyo walked back, and immediately Sesshomaru was set on guard when he realized Kikyo was flirting with InuYasha-and the Hanyou was oblivious to the flirting! His inner demon snarled possessively, but he himself remained as unreadable as ever, face blank as stone.

"How has Izayoi been, InuYasha?" Kikyo asked with a flirty tone. InuYasha shrugged.

"She's been well. I was just going to see her. Sesshomaru decided to come along."

"May I come as well?"

"Fine."

Sesshomaru walked behind the two, glaring at Kikyo so harshly that, if it was possible, her head would've caught on fire by now. How dare that bitch flirt with HIS beta!

Sesshomaru is nothing if not a possessive Alpha. The very thought of someone stealing away HIS Hanyou made his blood boil. His eyes were tinged red as he glared at the black haired Miko clinging to InuYasha.

They arrived at InuYasha's house before long. Telling the two to wait outside, he walked in.

"InuYasha," Izayoi smiled as she gave him a hug, "I didn't expect this visit."

InuYasha hugged her back. "I thought I'd see how you were doing. Sesshomaru and Kikyo are outside."

Izayoi pulled away, smiling at her son. "I'm doing well InuYasha." She pulled a duffel bag from behind the couch. "I was going to deliver this to the Taisho household later today."

InuYasha grabbed it, slinging it over his shoulder, and gave his mother another hug. "Thanks mom. See ya later!"

He left the house to find only Sesshomaru outside. "Where's Kikyo?"

Sesshomaru gave him an innocent smiled that suggested he was anything BUT innocent. "She had to return to her house."

InuYasha was just about to respond when a familiar, venom-filled voice said, "InuYasha. How nice to see you."
