As the Sengoku Jidai Turns

Kagome sighed, watching once more as arguing broke out between Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Koga. Yes, Koga. He'd shown up again, irritating everyone, including her, determined not to give up on the idea of her being his mate.

As if.

And she'd told him that, too – repeatedly. But he was nothing if not totally dense, and refused to believe she really meant it.

Is it possible that his head is solid bone? she wondered idly. That would explain why nothing ever gets through it.

The sad thing was, with all this damn drama, they hadn't found a shard in weeks, and the only sightings of anything to do with Naraku had been the Sengoku jidai version of television – Kanna's mirror. At this rate, Naraku was gonna win, because the damn canines were too busy fighting over who got the right to keep her to worry about who got to keep the jewel.

Even worse, in her opinion, was the fact that as badly as Miroku had always wanted to destroy Naraku, so that the hole in his hand didn't suck him in, the pervert monk was just enjoying all the hijinks too much to even be bothered at the lack of progress on the spider hunt. The only sane one anymore was Sango – and even she was still finding some of it entertaining.

And so, the newest fight, which had broken out as they walked down the road, soon had Miroku taking bets again on the outcome – as if they didn't all know that Sesshoumaru would end up kicking everyone elses asses, anyway.

What sent Kagome into hysterics, though, was when she realized just who had arrived, and was actually taking part in the betting pool.

“Miroku,” she asked, a deadly glare in her eyes as flames limned her, “what is he doing here?”

“W-well, uh,” the monk scratched the back of his head sheepishly as she eyed the newcomer dangerously, “hehe, he's just enjoying the show, and betting on the outcome?”

An ominous silence settled over Kagome for one long moment, then, teeth gritted, she managed to get out, “And just what is he betting against you, Miroku?”

“If I pick the winner, he'll take the curse off my hand...” the monk flinched at the sudden explosion that rocked the area as the miko that had been standing in front of him suddenly blew up.

Even Naraku looked scared for a moment as Kagome finally turned on one heel and stalked down the road to where the three stooges were still fighting, but as soon as her gaze was off them, they were once more watching, fascinated, as she confronted two inu, and one dense wolf.

Boom!

Another explosion rocked everyone, and when the dust cleared, there were three males warily eyeing a certain female who looked as evil as anything hell could have ever put out.

Kagome nailed all three with eyes shimmering with the desire for blood, and then pointed towards Miroku and his new betting buddy standing near the rest of the tachi.

“Do you see that?!” she shouted. “You've made us into a spectator sport! Even Naraku is joining the fun and betting on outcomes! This is ridiculous!”

Sesshoumaru eyed her as the other two stared at Naraku, and then a smug little smirk crossed his lips. “Then maybe we should give them something else to watch, miko,” he purred, and Kagome's eyes widened in shocked horror.

“Are you kidding me?!” she began to backpedal frantically as the big daiyoukai slowly stalked towards her with a predatorial look on his face. At the cheers coming from the sidelines, though, she stopped, and shook her finger at him, her anger coming back to the fore.

“No! No way! I refuse to be the feudal era equivalent of the playboy channel, mister!” she yelled. “It's bad enough you've turned my life into a daytime drama, there's no way I'm letting you make things any worse!”

A slow grin began to take shape on Sesshoumaru's face, and Kagome's eyes widened – that look completely unnerved her. “I have heard of this 'playboy channel' from Inuyasha – is it not a hentai 'channel' for males?” He stepped closer once again, a most arrogant look crossing his face.

Kagome nodded, a deer in the headlights expression freezing her face as he stepped up and pulled her into his body slowly, obviously enjoying the feel of her pressed to him.

“Then I would not worry, miko, for you will never be featured on that 'channel' – I will never allow others to enjoy what is meant only for me,” he said silkily.

She was still staring at him with that mesmerized look in her eyes when he sighed and set her behind him, before turning and catching the two idiots running at him, one in each hand. As they growled and kicked and whined, he looked at them calculatingly, and then smoothly bashed their heads together, knocking them both out, before tossing them off to the side of the road casually.

With a suddenly sour look on her face, Kagome glared at him as he turned to grab her arm and lead her off into the trees, mumbling to herself about cage matches and wrestling.

As they disappeared under the trees, Naraku turned to Miroku and gloated. “Pay up, monk, I win!”

Grumbling, Miroku started to pull something out of his robes, when another explosion was heard, and Kagome came storming out of the trees, yelling about sadistic, arrogant dogs. With a huge grin, Miroku turned back to a suddenly dismayed spider hanyou. “Ha! You need to pay up, Naraku. Never bet against Kagome-sama – she has quite the temper when riled!”

Both, however, froze, when a loud growl met their ears, and turning slowly, they both noted the very angry miko standing right behind them.

As an evil grin spread across her face, she said, “Let me show you why gambling is illegal where I'm from,” and proceeded to let loose with a spanking the likes of which the feudal era had never seen.

When it was over, however, she'd gained something she'd never in a million years have imagined, or wanted - a new admirer.

Turns out Naraku was extremely turned on by a domineering, feisty woman - just as much as Sesshoumaru was.

Kagome wanted to cry – absolutely nothing was going her way anymore.
