That was a first. Kagome had never seen Inuyasha back down from a fight so easily. Something was up.
"Inuyasha? What were you fighting about?" she asked again.
Sesshoumaru smirked. The hanyou was embarrassed by his desire to claim the miko. He was certainly not a serious rival. He watched as Kagome turned towards him with a lifted brow, the first time since she woke that morning that she'd actually looked directly at him.
"Sesshoumaru? Will you tell me what you're fighting about?"
"Why certainly, Miko," he practically purred at her. "We are fighting for the right to claim you."
