Inuyasha and Sesshomaru traveled in silence as they headed back to the campground, the hanyou's ears listening out for the slightest sound. His mood had dropped with the arrival of Naraku; though the dark-haired monster hadn't shown himself, he knew that he was out there watching. He clenched his jaw shut to lock in a growl, as his youki seemed ready to spring out and find Naraku's throat so that he could rip it out. He unconsciously stepped closer to his older brother, who seemed more focused on the road ahead than his surroundings.
Sesshomaru was trying his best to keep his normal calm, but the presence of Naraku had him on edge. He was about ready to start tearing the forest apart in search of the despicable bastard, but he kept himself in check. He was content with Inuyasha's company, though he'd deny it if questioned, and was hoping that his younger brother's presence was enough to send Naraku off.
A few more moments of walking and Sesshomaru knew that it wasn't. The prickling feeling of being watched had yet to fade, and his youki felt as if it was losing its mind. His lone hand rose to protectively rest over his stomach, his traveling companion not missing the motion.
Inuyasha only arched a brow, his amber eyes staring at where Sesshomaru's hand rested. He had to wonder, since the Daiyoukai's behavior seemed to become a lot more protective with Naraku's appearance, just what connection the spider had to his older brother.
Not your concern.
His youki obviously could care less, and he was sure that if he tried to figure it out, he'd end up getting more of a headache then he'd been getting these past few hours.
Well, they wouldn't have to worry too long, since the scent of Naraku was fading the closer they got to camp. It had both brothers relaxing. That is until Inuyasha's ears twitched at Kagome's voice shouting.
"What the hell is going on?" Inuyasha muttered to himself, reluctant to go any further.
Kagome yelling was never a good thing, and it meant she was angry, which in turn meant it was best to avoid her. However, his skin prickled at the scent of Kouga wafting in their direction. It would be the ookami who took shelter in his camp even after getting a major ass kicking. He only snorted, tucking his arms away and steadily walking onward.
He could feel that Sesshomaru had drawn closer to him, but he decided to ignore it. He'd decided that he wouldn't ask questions anymore, accepting things as they come would have to do.
The closer they drew was the quieter things became, and that made the dog-eared half breed worry more than Kagome's yelling had. They broke free of the bushes just in time to see Kagome spinning to face Miroku, whose cheek held a tint from what had to be one of Sango's slaps.
"He would never do that to me! Inuyasha would never do something like that!"
"Do you something like what?"
At his inquiry, the entire camp turned to face them and Inuyasha knew that they hadn't been expected. Something was definitely up. He heard Kouga growl and he watched as the wolf turned away with a sour and bruised look. The hanyou felt like strutting around like a proud rooster in front of the prince, the thought disturbing him, but he chose to ignore his pony-tailed rival. He instead focused on the new-aged miko, whose wide eyes looked back at him in a mixture of emotions he did not want to delve into, but he needed to know just what was going on.
"Now, who's gonna answer my question?"
The quiet remained, since no one had the courage to speak up, and Inuyasha felt his irritation steadily rising.
"Kagome."
At the call of her name, the young girl gasped, her hands slackening and allowing a thoroughly crushed Myoga to flutter to the ground. Inuyasha watched the flea drop, his eyes narrowed suspiciously. He hated when the flea showed up, it was never a good thing, and his teeth began grinding together as he watched his father's retainer pop back into shape.
"Myoga, maybe you can tell me what I want to hear."
Myoga shook his head to clear it, before straightening his appearance as he cleared his throat. With a leap he settled on Inuyasha's left shoulder, his eyes looking off to the side to where the eldest son of his previous lord stood coldly watching him.
The remaining scent of their night wasn't hard to miss, and neither was the smell of Sesshomaru's pregnancy. Kouga hadn't been kidding; Lord Sesshomaru had been pupped, odd in its on right since he had not been claimed as he had been mounted. His brain tried its best not to think of images of his young lord being taken, and he turned his attention back to Inuyasha.
"Lord Inuyasha, we were merely discussing the current situation." Myoga began, pulling Inuyasha's eyes off of the miko and onto him. "Upon my arrival last night, I had been informed that Lord Sesshomaru is with child. I had to see for myself if word was true."
He was then looking back to Sesshomaru, who didn't seem pleased that he was part of the discussion and the reason for the ningen girl's foolish outburst. Nor was he happy when the old flea forced a beaming smile in his direction.
"Congratulations, my lord. May your child grow strong and be raised into a fine noble such as yourself."
"Do I look happy, old man?" Was the Daiyoukai's curt response.
I am happy.
'You don't count.' Sesshomaru was telling his youki, before thoroughly ignoring it again.
"Yes, well, we shall welcome a new heir regardless of feelings." Myoga quickly stated, before turning back to Inuyasha. "Now, as for Lady Kagome's outburst, that was due to my informing her that you two are now mates."
Myoga was snatched off of the red-clad shoulder in an instant, his eyes threatening to pop out of his head as he was mercilessly squeezed between Inuyasha's thumb and index finger.
"Why the hell would you tell her that!" The hanyou demanded, glaring down at the wheezing flea.
"Well, you and Kouga. . .fought. . . and you won the right to mate. . ." The flea chocked out between gasps for breath.
"That ain't a reason to go telling shit like that to Kagome, ya stupid flea!"
Flattened again, Myoga sailed slowly to the ground, and was dazed as he lay upon the dirt at his lord's feet.
"We are not mates." That was Sesshomaru, who sneered down at Myoga. "This Sesshomaru would never submit to a hanyou."
Kouga's mood perked up at the news, and he gave a laugh as he stood from the rock, looking to the two siblings with one hand on his hip.
"I knew you couldn't do anything right, dog breath."
"Lay one hand on him and I'll rip you a new one, asshole!" The hanyou was growling in warning.
"Inuyasha!"
He looked to Kagome, whose frown fell as he did so, and she hesitated before finally opening her mouth to speak.
"So, you aren't mates?"
"No!" Was the immediate response. "I already told you, I'm not into that sort of thing."
"Smells like you were last night." Kouga mumbled, luckily enough it was too low for any of the humans to hear.
"Hey, you shut up!" Inuyasha shouted, his fist shaking threateningly at the annoying ookami.
With the tension slowly waning, things began to return to normal, the camp running as it had before Myoga had started giving the news.
Sesshomaru ignored the rest of the camp's occupants, gracefully making his way over to Rin, who was happy to see him. He froze as the child rushed to meet him and planted her hands on his stomach, brown eyes smiling up at him.
"Sesshomaru-sama, how is the baby?" She asked him, her small hands gently rubbing.
His youki purred in content and Lord Sesshomaru was stuck fighting a smile and stifling the urge to smother his young retainer in a hug. So he opted for frowning down at her and gently removing her hands.
"Rin, that is unbecoming of a lady." He scolded her, watching Rin snatch her hands away, her face holding a look of shame. "And such a question should not be asked in the presence of company."
A blush of shame took color on her cheeks, and she bowed her head to hide the pout she'd be scolded for as well.
"Rin is sorry, Sesshomaru-sama." Her apology was accompanied by a formal bow, before she was smiling up at him. "Rin made breakfast. Would you like some, Lord Sesshomaru? Rin made rice with Houshi-san's help."
Miroku froze, an icy feeling crawling down his spine as he felt the danger that was throwing daggers at his back. He knew that it was in his best interest he not turn and face the Inu Lord, sparing himself the promise of death in golden eyes.
The Daiyoukai soon returned his attention to Rin, who had long gone off to get him his breakfast. He simply followed after her, watching the young ningen carefully scoop the grain into a bowl. He was relieved to find his stomach did not rebel at the sight of it.
As the bowl was handed over to him, he nodded his thanks to the small child, who beamed brightly at him before bouncing off to help pack the rest of the things away.
He had just taken a seat on the ground, bowl nestled in his lap, when the girl came skipping back.
"Rin almost forgot." She began, plopping in a few pieces of dried fish into the bowl. "Eat up, Sesshomaru-sama. Rin does not want you to be hungry."
His stomach curled as he looked down at the strips of dried meat, and he luckily held off the bile rising in his throat. His appetite ruined, he turned away from the food in disgust, wanting to get rid of it. It was just his luck that the young kit was frolicking by, and he quickly deposited the rice and fish into small hands, the young fox blinking up at him in confusion.
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
The way his name was spoken held more questions then the young demon was going to ask, and Sesshomaru merely looked down at the kitsune with his usual cold glare.
"You may have it."
"But I already had mine." The fox insisted, though he did not hold the bowl out to offer it back.
"Eat it." The words were a command that startled the young fox. "It will make you strong. You are far too weak as it is."
Shippo pouted at the words, and Sesshomaru swore he heard his youki "aw", things going from bad to worse as the young kit's eyes glittered up at him in gratitude. Why were children suddenly so cute? They had never been this damn adorable before? He hated pregnancy.
"Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru!" Shippo chirped, haphazardly managing a bow that he'd seen Rin do many times. "Kagome never lets me have thirds!"
Then he was off, happily munching away as he walked with his tail swishing back and forth behind him, a physical sign of his happiness and content. It wasn't the only one wagging, and as the unmistakable scent of wolf came closer than he remembered, the silver-haired demon lord turned to find Kouga now beside him. His tail was wagging as happily as Shippo's was.
The sight of the pony-tailed demon confused him, as he was sure the ookami had been last arguing with Inuyasha. His golden eyes searched the campground and found the hanyou, as well as the miko, were gone.
"Where is Inuyasha?" The Daiyoukai inquired, before the wolf could open his mouth.
Kouga huffed with a roll of his eyes, a bit miffed that the Daiyoukai was thinking about the hanyou.
"Forget about the puppy." He began, ready to work his magic again. "You've got a real youkai in front of you. I bet I can show you a thing or two. I bet dogshit couldn't even do it right."
Sesshomaru, for once, was relieved to feel that his youki had waning interest in this particular suitor, so it was easy to glare coldly up at the dark-haired prince. His eyes caught the wolf's attempt to shift closer to him and a warning growl broke free from his throat before he could stop himself.
"One step closer, ookami, and you will regret having attempted to court me."
The green glow of Sesshomaru's only hand told Kouga that the inu-youkai was serious, and he grumbled to himself as he merely turned and stormed off, tail once again limp.
"Damn that mutt. His cheating ass is messing with my game."
Sesshomaru merely arched a brow, but was glad to be left alone and it seemed so was his youki.
We are Inuyasha's. No one else can approach us.
'I am not Inuyasha's. He and I are not mates.' The demon lord reminded his inner self, which only seemed to chuckle at the words.
We will see.
He didn't like the sound of that. He was drawn from his thoughts at the sound of blubbering, and looking down he nearly cringed at the sight of Jaken's huge watering eyes staring up at him. This day couldn't possibly get any worse.
"Please, my lord, please tell me that this is all a cruel dream."
He merely ignored the kappa, letting his eyes settle on Rin, who was trying to pry the bowl he had just given Shippo from the fox's hand. She was exclaiming how it was Sesshomaru-sama's food and that Shippo was too greedy for taking it. The boy was only wailing out in protest, trying to explain that he had been given the food.
Jaken had inched closer, small hands having grabbed the loose fabric of his lord's hakama, while continually whimpering like a betrayed wife.
"Surely you aren't with child. This has to be a cruel joke meant to punish Jaken. Please, let me know what I've done wrong, Sesshomaru-sama. I will have any other punishment than this."
His teeth were now grinding together, as the toad kept groveling and then he stiffened at the feel of small arms wrapping about him, a wet and snot covered face mashing into the fabric of his kimono.
"Lord Sesshomaru, why do you hurt me so!"
His patience snapped, and Sesshomaru pried the pitiful kappa from him, sneering in distaste at the state his servant was in.
"Let go of me, you idiot!" His voice wasn't a yell, but it was louder than usual. "And stop your embarrassing blubbering!"
With that he flung the green demon away, the toad smashing head first into a nearby tree, where he then dropped to the ground in a daze, a large bump forming on his head.
Sesshomaru lost interest in him and then glared down at his robes, now stained by bodily fluids from the kappa's overreacting. Great, now not only did he need a bath, he would need to clean his robes as well. He was aware of the eyes on him as he stood, but ignored the taijiya and monk, who had remained quiet the entire time. The wolf was sulking on the same rock he had been on earlier.
As he turned away to head off to the nearest body of water, it was the monk who decided to brave his wrath.
"Where are you going, Lord Sesshomaru?"
The Daiyoukai did nothing but look at him, the houshi not on good standing with him after deliberately disobeying his orders. Then again, these humans weren't his, so they had no obligation to follow any order of his. However, he was a Daiyoukai, and that alone demanded their utter obedience.
"I only ask so that I can inform Inuyasha when he returns." Miroku quickly explained as the youkai turned back to him. "I'm sure he'll ask when he sees you gone."
The mention of his younger half-brother reminded the inukai that the hanyou had disappeared with his human girl. He had intended on finding out where they had gone, but he had been distracted.
"He is with his woman."
The way he stated the sentence, it was more of a statement rather than a question, but it got an answer all the same. The taijiya slowly nodded her head in answer, and the monk dared to offer him what Sesshomaru was beginning to figure out was his signature smile.
His statement also had his youki throwing a fit, a feeling of rage and jealousy swirling through his mind. His damn inner demon was still thinking his brother was his chosen suitor.
She is not his woman. He is ours. He claimed us.
Memories of last night, that he had been trying to suppress, were flashing through his mind and Sesshomaru shuddered. He couldn't, and wouldn't, believe that he had behaved in such a way. He had been worse than a well-paid whore, the way he had been begging and panting, craving his brother's touch.
It sickened him to think that he had allowed the mangy half-breed to touch him. To press against him in such a manner and come close to claiming him.
So close.
Too close, he realized. Even though he had arched into those hands, had nearly melted from demanding lips against his own, and that huge, hard length pressed against him.
Sesshomaru snapped back to himself, his face drained of color as he realized what he had been thinking. He was horrified to know that he had enjoyed himself last night, truly enjoyed himself, and it would seem he wanted more. If the pheromones his body was releasing to draw Inuyasha back to him weren't a sign, the quickly hardening member in his hakama was.
Kouga's brooding had stopped and he was looking to the Daiyoukai in hopes that he was welcome to start courting him again, but Sesshomaru merely glared at him. The two ningen watched confused as Sesshomaru began to storm off, as gracefully as one could storm off, passing the two children who were now arguing over the spilled bowl of rice.
Rin looked up in time to see him disappearing, and she followed after him out of habit, bypassing the still unconscious Jaken.
"Sesshomaru-sama, where are we going?" She asked, so used to being included wherever he went.
"You will not follow, Rin!" Were the loud words that were thrown back at her.
It caused her to stumble to a halt, and she watched in confusion as her lord disappeared, trying to figure out what was wrong. She felt someone come up beside her, and she looked up to see Houshi-san offering her a kind smile.
"Don't worry, Rin. I'm sure that Sesshomaru-sama just wants some time alone." Miroku offered, making sure to comfort the girl without touching her. He knew he was now being watched like a hawk by the demon lord, and even with him not here, he would have some way of knowing. "Why don't we go help Shippo clean up that mess."
Wanting to follow after Lord Sesshomaru, even though the inu had made it quite clear she was to stay put, she reluctantly gave in. With a nod she turned back to the others, walking with Miroku to where Shippo stood pouting down at the spilled rice.
While the children slowly cleared the mess, Miroku walked back over to Sango, who he knew was still upset with him for his wandering hand earlier. With his usual smile, he risked sitting beside her on the felled tree, hoping she didn't deliver him another slap.
"Well, this is an interesting morning." He finally said, after sitting in a minute or two of silence.
"Humph."
It was all the taijiya offered him, as she turned her head away and took to stroking the fire cat on her lap.
"Please, Miss Sango, you know I can't help it. The curse is beyond my control at times."
"Oh shove it with your curse talk, you pervert!" The slayer snapped, her eyes glaring. "That line only works on stupid women. One more swipe to my ass, or any other body part for that matter, and I'll make sure you never have the chance of an heir. You got that?"
With a nervous laugh, the monk eagerly nodded his head, his legs pressing closed at the threat. Satisfied with his immediate agreement, Sango calmed considerably, sending Kirara on her way with a deep sigh.
"Though it is a weird morning." She said in response to his earlier comment. "I mean, we've had quite a few of them, but I think this one tops the rest."
"Give it time." Miroku said with a sigh of his own. "I'm sure we'll get one that outdoes this day completely."
xoxoxoxox
Inuyasha walked, leading the way, with Kagome following quietly behind him as they headed a good distance away. They needed privacy, and that meant not having a nosy Miroku and children around. When the voices of the other group members were nothing more than a soft humming in his ears, he finally stopped.
Kagome hadn't been looking up, and she found herself colliding into Inuyasha's back, in which she was able to quickly right herself.
She had been too busy thinking about how things had unfolded. She didn't want to know that Inuyasha would seriously fight with Kouga, but the wolf's injuries were proof that it had been more than a mere scuffle. She didn't want to believe Myoga that the two had mated, but when the two brothers had shown up, she just knew something was up.
She really didn't want to know, but she did know. It was rather that she didn't want to believe it, the miko would rather deny it to the very end, but she couldn't deny it anymore. Even with Inuyasha claiming they hadn't mated, and she gave the hanyou the benefit of the doubt, she had a feeling that things were heading in a direction she didn't want.
That's why as she watched Inuyasha arguing with Kouga, more protective of his brother than he had ever been, (he'd never been protective of Sesshomaru at all for that matter), she knew that things were slipping. Or, to be more to the point, the hanyou she had growing feelings for was slipping away from her. That's why she had interrupted the fight with a desperate plea that the two go off and talk.
Inuyasha had looked at her, his eyes seeming to search for her reason why without asking her, before he merely gave his usual, "Feh!"
"Fine, you want to talk, then we'll talk." He had said turning and leading the way out to the forest. "You owe me an explanation anyway."
She had followed after a deep breath, not sure what the hell she thought was going to happen out here, but now that she had come this far she couldn't go back.
Her brown eyes looked up to Inuyasha as he turned around to face her, his face holding an irritated look, but she was use to it by now. The emotions on the hanyou's face usually ranged from annoyed, to angry, to completely livid. Hopefully, she wouldn't cause him to reach the latter of the three.
"Well." His voice was gruff and she swallowed as it confirmed that he wasn't exactly happy. Hopefully, he wasn't upset with her, but you never knew with the half-breed. "You wanted to talk."
Her mouth opened, but she closed it again, not sure how she was going to start. Should she start with an apology, or maybe with asking him what was going on between him and his brother. She decided that it was best she not confirm her suspicions just yet, but she was still at a loss for how to begin this little chat they were out here to have.
"Why don't you tell me what it is I'd never do?" Inuyasha provided, as if he could read her mind.
Kagome's head dropped so that she was staring at her shoes, the toe of her right foot drawing random shapes and lines in the dirt.
"Well?"
She looked up again, her eyes locking with golden amber, and she bit her lip not wanting to let the words escape. She knew she had to however, and drawing things out longer than they already were wasn't going to help her. But, she was stuck and she had no idea what to say to begin conveying her feelings to him. The longer those fiery eyes stared back at her, was the longer that she was beginning to doubt her choice to try and have this one-on-one time with her dog-eared friend.
Inuyasha was about ready to trek back to camp, having lost his already depleted patience with the miko, when he stiffened at the sight of Kagome rushing forward. His arms weren't fast enough to stop her, and he soon found himself victim to a desperate hug, Kagome's arms locked tightly around him. He had no idea what this was for, but he did know that the girl had better start explaining soon.
"Kagome-"
"I don't want to lose you, Inuyasha." The dark-haired teen muttered, her head leaning against the hanyou's chest.
Inuyasha's brows furrowed at the words, but he chose not to say anything, hoping that the girl would be prompted to talk due to the silence. It wasn't long before Kagome was speaking again, her arms squeezing tighter around him.
"Please, Inuyasha, don't do this to me." She begged him, burying her face in the robes of his fire-rat robe. "I know that you may feel you have to follow your instincts, but you can ignore them. You don't have to be trapped with him. He's not your responsibility and besides, it's not your fault that he's pregnant."
She felt Inuyasha tense in her hold, and Kagome only clenched her eyes shut, not wanting to let him go even with the impending anger she could physically feel.
"You think I'm being trapped, are you?" Inuyasha asked, his voice soft. It betrayed the anger that was settling in his chest, and Kagome knew it could spring forth at any moment. "Aren't I already trapped?"
"Huh?"
The new-aged miko's expression was riddled with her confusion when she looked up, and Inuyasha felt her grip slacken at his words. He took the chance to lift his arms and grab her by the arms, his hold loose even with his fingers itching to wrap tighter.
"Listen, let's get one thing straight." He began, his eyes locked on hers. "I'm not doing anything against you. You and I, we have nothing between us except that we're working together to take down Naraku and get those damned shards."
"But-" She began, though she stopped at the frown that took Inuyasha's face. She thought for a moment before she came to a realization. "But I thought that we had something, Inuyasha."
"Feh!" His usual sound made Kagome freeze, knowing it meant that Inuyasha thought otherwise. "I already told you what we had. Don't get me wrong, I like you, but you're my friend. That's all you are."
His hands loosened then, and he expected Kagome to step back in shock or some other emotion, but instead the girl flew forward, wrapping her arms about him again.
"No." The word was low, and if his hearing hadn't been so good, he would have missed it. "Why does he win?"
"Win?" Inuyasha repeated, muscles tensing. "Was this some kind of game to you? Look, nobody won anything. I'm not a god damned prized pet! Sesshomaru and I, no matter what those idiots tell you, are not mates. And as long as we're talking about it, you and I could never be anything more than what we already are."
Kagome finally did step away, eyes watery and lip trembling, her entire body sending off signals that she was ready to cry.
"Can't you tell that I love you, Inuyasha?" She questioned him, her voice heavy with the threat of her tears. "I just want one chance to show you that."
"Yeah, well, why now?" He countered, his annoyance peaking. "Why didn't you let me know before? If you loved me so much, you'd think you'd want to tell me before you were threatened by the thought of losing me. That's pretty damn selfish if you ask me."
"Inuyasha-"
"Look." The hanyou interrupted her, a weary sigh escaping before he continued speaking. "Can't you just be satisfied that we're friends? Isn't it enough that you own me?"
Her brown eyes glanced down at the beads resting against a tan neck, and she felt a weight settle in the pit of her stomach. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. She had thought that Inuyasha would see things her way. She had a flash of anger, where the urge to just shout the command took over her, but when she parted her lips to do so, her voice froze.
Inuyasha's amber eyes were staring back at her, and she knew that he was right. Her mouth slowly closed, and she let her head hang so that she could hide her face, letting her body submit to defeat. It was hard trying not to cry, and she wanted to run off and head back to the well so that she could return to the comfort and privacy of her room. However, she managed to swallow the lump in her throat and blink away the tears, before she was looking back at the hanyou.
"Um, I think I need some time to think about this." She told him, the shake in her voice the only thing she couldn't stop. "We should probably get back to camp."
She spun and was ready to sprint off, when she collided into the half-breed's back, who cut her off before her escape. She didn't look up at him, but she watched as he crouched in front of her, offering her the usual piggy-back ride. Unable to stop herself, she sobbed, slowly climbing on and holding on as tightly as she could. She wanted to savor this moment. Who knew when she'd ever be this close to him again?
Inuyasha straightened again and started to head off, though it wasn't at his usually bounding pace, but at a slow, gradual stroll.
"I'm sorry, Kagome." He softly apologized, obviously trying to sooth the crying girl.
Said miko only sniffled, pressing her face against his back and breathing in the scent of his hair. She'd never really taken the chance to actually take in Inuyasha and she wouldn't pass up the opportunity now that it was offered.
The way back to camp was traveled in silence and when they finally broke through the surrounding bushes into the campsite, they were met with curious stares. Slowly, Inuyasha let the new-aged priestess down, and Kagome soon had her arms full of a curious and pouting kit.
"Why are you sad, Kagome?" Shippo interrogated, his green eyes blinking up at her. "Was Inuyasha mean to you?"
She could only look to the hanyou with that question, whose back faced her, before she was forcing a smile for Shippo.
"No, Shippo, he wasn't mean. I'm just sad that I'll be leaving for a while."
The hanyou's ears twitched at that, with Miroku and Sango taken aback by the statement.
"You're leaving?" Sango asked, a mask a disbelief on her face. "In the middle of tracking a jewel shard?"
Kagome nodded, not really wanting to explain herself, but knowing Sango was going to want her to.
"But, why?" The taijiya asked, obviously at a loss. "What happened?"
"I realize that I have a lot of studying to do." Kagome lied, forcing another smile for the taijiya. "My exams are coming up and I need to be ready for them."
Miroku said nothing, but he did watch back and forth between the half-demon and the young miko, knowing that something had gone on out there. It was obvious in their body language and the way Kagome went out of her way to hide what she was really feeling. Besides, he was sure that she had taken her exams before coming back, as she had already left a few weeks back to take them. Though he said nothing, knowing it wasn't his place to intrude on their business.
"Well, I suppose we head for the village again." He said with a sigh, his hands wrapping about his staff as he leaned against it. "Shall we begin packing, Sango?"
Sango frowned, but didn't ask any more questions, even though she was dying to push further. With a nod, she followed after the monk, ready to begin packing up the camp. The two began working, avoiding the wolf that was still sulking and the kappa nursing his injury, Rin easily offering her help. Shippo hesitated in Kagome's arms for a moment, before the young Rin was calling to him, and with one last look to Kagome he jumped down to join the others.
Now left alone, Kagome turned to look at Inuyasha, only to find him stomping off about the camp. Everyone stopped as he crouched to the ground and began crawling about, nose sniffing the forest floor as he followed a scent. The growl that erupted from his throat had them looking amongst themselves in confusion, but Inuyasha was explaining himself with the question he asked next.
"Where the hell is Sesshomaru!" He demanded, voice booming.
"He took off, dog breath." The ookami offered with a sneer. "Probably to bathe your stench off of him."
Kouga could barely react as he was grabbed up by his armor, dragged closer to a seething face and burning eyes.
"You let him go off on his own!" It was obvious that the hanyou was livid. "What the hell is wrong with you!"
"Hey, he ain't my bitch so therefore he ain't my problem."
The punch to his gut was - thankfully- nothing compared to the one he had received just last night, and Kouga was left wheezing on the ground as Inuyasha ran off in the direction his brother's scent led off to.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome was screaming after him.
It hurt her to watch her run away from her and after the one person she would never have thought to lose him to. That lasted as long as it took for Inuyasha's next words to travel back to them.
"Naraku's out there!"
The three left behind, and even the still gasping Kouga, shared the same look. In no time, they were heading after the dog-eared half-breed, Miroku and Sango atop a transformed Kirara with Kagome atop Kouga's back. They had no clue why it meant immediate danger to Sesshomaru, but the threat of their shared enemy was enough to prompt them into battle.
"Jaken, take Ah-Un and hide with the children!" Kagome shouted back as they raced off.
The little green kappa only huffed, watching them disappear and wanting to shout out that he would do nothing of the sort. However, he knew that any harm that came to Rin meant a very quick end by his lord's hand. So, fearing the threat against his own life, he followed the miko's order none too happily.

The Lord of the Western lands actually sighed in relief as he broke free of the water. Knowing that he was ridding himself of grit and unwanted memories was very relaxing. His eyes closed as he leaned back against the cool rock, trying his best to relax further, but was unable to. As much as he tried to clear his mind, the memory of his little brother pressing and grinding against him kept surfacing.
Inuyasha is a good lover.
The collected Daiyoukai nearly spluttered at his youki's words, and if the thing had been physically in front of him, he would have wrapped his hand about its throat to stop it from saying anything else. As it was, he barely had any control over it any more so it could say as it pleased, which was unfortunate.
When will we have him?
"We will never have him." Sesshomaru openly discussed with his inner demon, knowing no one was around to hear him. "Inuyasha will never get that close to this Sesshomaru again. I'd rather tear my own skin off than let that hanyou lay his hands on me."
But his hands felt good.
Sesshomaru shivered, sitting up and clearing his throat as his skin seemed to remember the feel of those hands. Wading a bit deeper into the small pool that he had come across in his desperate search for cold water, he began bathing his skin, trying to distract himself as well as wash away the ghost of those hands running over him.
And his kiss tasted good, too.
Sesshomaru paused, his hand rising to touch at his own lips, before wiping over them. His youki was purposely reminding him of the previous night, hoping that he'd give in to instincts again. The damn thing had a plan, but Sesshomaru was determined to not see it finished successfully. Even if the bastard had kissed well. Who the hell had he been kissing for practice, anyway? The miko?
His fist clenched at the thought, and he remembered that Inuyasha had gone off with the human. He only scoffed. The half-breed could do as he pleased, he would care less that Inuyasha wanted to fraternize with disgusting ningen.
But Inuyasha is ours. His youki reminded him, though the Western lord disagreed. He won the battle and he proved he is good enough to be our mate. He gave us pleasure.
"He gave me nothing!" He quickly denied, returning to scrubbing his skin again.
We enjoyed it. His inner demon smugly revealed. Your scream wasn't of pain.
"A Daiyoukai does not scream." Sesshomaru hissed through his teeth, wanting the damn thing to just shut up and give him in peace.
Only when his mate makes him.
"Inuyasha is not my mate!"
"Of course not."
Amber eyes turned cold and indifferent at the voice, even as his chest tightened and his hand clutched at the slightly swelling stomach. Slowly, he spun to face his intruder, who had dared to interrupt his personal and private session, with the calm mask that he was well known for.
"That title is, naturally, mine." A familiar hanyou smiled back at him, a dark promise behind red colored eyes. "At least, it soon will be."
Sesshomaru despised the fact that he was now out in the open, naked, and with out his weapons. He'd have to do well enough with teeth and claws this time around. He had done it before and was prepared to do it again.
"Naraku."
It was all he would say to acknowledge the hideous excuse for a demon.
The dark-haired hanyou only smiled at him.
"You couldn't run forever, Sesshomaru." The spider-hanyou laughed darkly, his eyes eagerly running over the full-blooded demon, before stopping on the protected area of Sesshomaru's stomach. "As long as you carry my pup, I will find you."
