Do not own Inuyasha.
Jest
The pack moved away from the village, but stopped in the afternoon at a hot spring. The girls all went to soak, while the men got lunch going. Inuyasha grubbled about wasting time in the water. He got a rap on the head from Miroku, and a stern look. Sesshomaru told them that they would be going next, once the ladies were finished, which earned him a panicked looked from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, if your scared, I'll let you use my floaty." Shippo said, with a snicker.
Sesshomaru smirked, Miroku covered his laugh with a cough, Kohaku, however, couldn't hide his, he outright laughed.
"You little shit. Your getting it now.!" Inuyasha yelled.
Shippo high-tailed it, and hid behind Sesshomaru.
"He ain't going to save you." Inuyasha exclaimed.
"No, but I will." a female voice said.
Everyone turned to look. There stood Kagome. wrapped in a towel and soaking wet. Sesshomaru growled, not at all pleased that the others were seeing thus.
"What is going on?" she asked.
"Go back to the spring, I will handle it." Sesshomaru stated, a bite in his voice.
Kagome looked to him, she could see he was upset, but didn't know why. She turned around and disappeared into the bushes. Sesshomaru took a few deep breaths then brought his attention to Inuyasha and Shippo.
"Inuyasha. The kit simply made a jest in good fun. His attention focuses on you, because you force the attention on you when you complain. Do not give him the reaction he wants and you will find that the pranks subside." Sesshomaru said.
Inuyasha thought about it, and it seemed to be true, "Keh." he said.
Everyone had bathed and eaten when Sesshomaru ordered camp cleaned up and for them to move out. He was still upset with Kagome. Tonight he would talk to her when he gave her the shard.
