At First Sight

 

Chapter 4: The Fall of the Inu Brother's

 

When InuYasha came to, the first thing he did was to sniff the air about him. Recognizing the scent to be that of Kagome's time, InuYasha smirked as he got to his feet, `heh, that bastard won't be able to follow me here!'

 

“InuYasha, are you alright?”

 

Hearing Kagome's voice, InuYasha turned about and his heart nearly stopped at what he saw, Kagome was standing before Sesshoumaru while his tail was wrapped about her waist in a sign of possession.

 

Without thinking InuYasha lifted one of his hands and pointed it directly at Sesshoumaru, “what the hell is that bastard doing here? He's not supposed to be able to pass through the well!”

 

Receiving a cold stare from his brother, InuYasha couldn't help the instinctive shiver that ran up his spine. “That, brother, happens to be your fault.”

 

Feeling his jaw drop in shock, InuYasha quickly recovered and snarled, “how the fuck can it be my fault, I didn't drag you here!”

 

Gritting her teeth, Kagome walked towards the door of the well house, or at least tried to. Seeing that Sesshoumaru's tail had no intention of releasing her anytime soon, Kagome let out a sigh and turned to look at both InuYasha and Sesshoumaru. They were glaring at one another, completely ignoring her, which just pissed her off even more.

 

“InuYasha, Sit! Sesshoumaru, let go of me!”

 

InuYasha's head shot in her direction just in time to see the look of rage in her eyes and then he was eating dirt at her feet.

 

Sesshoumaru was about to resist when his tail moved of its own accord, slipping off of her to hang dejectedly at his side. If he wasn't a demon lord, Sesshoumaru's jaw would have been level with the ground.

 

`She dares order this Sesshoumaru around again?! She must learn her place…but my body fails to listen to me.' Just to test his theory, Sesshoumaru tried to grab Kagome again with his tail but it failed to move at all. `I see my assumption is correct…what shall this Sesshoumaru do to rectify the situation?'

 

Shaking her head at the stupidity of demons, Kagome turned and made her way from the well house. Outside it was raining lightly, this brought a smile to Kagome's face, she had always loved the rain.

 

Taking her time, Kagome walked over to the god tree and leaned against it as a lightning bolt cracked across the sky, a resounding `boom' following in its wake thus effectively scaring off the birds that had taken refuge in the branches above her.

 

Lifting her head, Kagome let her eyes close as she focused upon the feel of the rain drops striking her cheeks, wetting her hair, face and clothes.

 

Once he was able to get up, InuYasha moved past his brother outside after Kagome, with every intention of talking to her before his brother came to his senses. His ears twitched in annoyance as the rain pelted him, growling low in his throat, he looked around and sighted Kagome standing underneath the god tree.

 

His breath caught in his throat as he stared at the picture she painted, her stormy blue eyes closed and her head tilted backwards, she seemed like she was one of those `fairies' that he had heard of from Souta.

 

No matter how he cared for Kikyou he knew at this moment that there were several differences, `she never will look like this, so simple yet so kind. I can't believe that I was able to miss this about her, I guess I am a worthless idiot. But what is happening between my brother and her is not love, that stupid mark on her back is all that binds them. No, I will not allow this.'

 

Gritting his teeth, InuYasha started towards Kagome, determined to rectify the situation no matter what it took. As he neared he heard a soft humming coming from her, seeing the small smile that came to her lips as the humming rose in pitch and volume.

 

Her voice was soothing and calming, it made him feel at peace with himself and caused him to stop walking. Slowly he sank down and listened closely to her voice, not wishing to interrupt the moment that she had caused to be.

 

Behind him he felt his brother come to a stop as well but he didn't even react, surely his brother must be feeling the same way as him at this moment, the air of pure caring and gentleness that Kagome had cast about them was too strong not to.

 

If InuYasha was looking at his brother at that moment he would have been completely shocked and surprised, Sesshoumaru didn't know what to think at that moment, he felt unbearably content.

 

`This moment reminds me of when my mother was still alive…how can she do such a thing by merely humming? This Sesshoumaru hasn't thought of my mother for a very long time, it seems that I have true feelings for Kagome after all.'

 

Shifting his eyes from Kagome, Sesshoumaru looked at his half brother, InuYasha was staring at Kagome with a look that made Sesshoumaru narrow his eyes in contemplation.

 

`He looks like he is going to approach Kagome…I cannot allow such a thing when she has gained my interest. She will be mine and InuYasha will have to accept it, if he doesn't then this Sesshoumaru will have to take matters into my own hands.'

 

The rain continued to fall as Kagome sat there, she had been humming a song that her father had sung to her when he put her to bed at night. It always reminded her of the day that he had left them, it had been hard but she had been able to move on with her life.

 

Unable to stop herself, Kagome felt her own tears join the rain that pelted her cheeks, if she was honest with herself she had missed her father every day since then. He had always been a main part of her life and when he left she still blamed herself for it.

 

Shivering from the sudden chill that blew past her, Kagome sat down leaning back against the tree, moving her legs to bend up against her chest so that she could wrap her arms about them.

 

`It's about time that I started moving inside, but with both InuYasha and Sesshoumaru here, I don't know how the sleeping arrangements are going to be handled.'

 

A sudden image popped into her head as she thought of that, it was one of Sesshoumaru and InuYasha both sleeping at the foot of her bed like puppies. It was enough to cheer her up, unable to hold her mirth in any longer, Kagome started giggling as she shook her head trying to get the image to go away. If anything it just got worse and it didn't help that she could feel both InuYasha and Sesshoumaru standing just a few feet away.

 

Deciding that she had best try to rectify the situation, Kagome let her eyes open as she let one of her legs stretch out before her, with a slow shake of her head she shook most of the water from her hair.

 

“I know your both there…you can come closer, in fact, I wouldn't mind having some company right now. After all, it is your first time here, isn't it Sesshoumaru?”

 

Turning her head, Kagome glanced coyly at both InuYasha and Sesshoumaru, a small smile crossing her lips.

 

Both were shocked, InuYasha's eyes were blown wide while Sesshoumaru simply looked…well, like normal or at least as normal as he can be. It was easy enough for Kagome to see it though, it seemed that she could make out his emotions better now than before, but of course it had to do with the mark that she had.

 

`After all, I am an Inu Priestess. But do I really like him…that way? My blood tells me that yes I do, but is this what my heart really wants...I can't give myself unless I want it heart and soul. So that's the question, do I take this step?'

 

Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru approached immediately while InuYasha just glared at Sesshoumaru, it was amusing to see how childish InuYasha was behaving lately.

 

Feeling drawn, Sesshoumaru couldn't stop himself from walking over to Kagome's side, besides he did wish to be near her no matter how he tried to hide it. Coming to a stop next to her, he knelt down and tilted his head as he looked at her, Kagome met his look perfectly though.

 

“What is it that this Sesshoumaru needs to know about this place?”

 

A snort sounded from the direction of InuYasha at that, he had followed along behind Sesshoumaru and was now standing directly behind him, his arms crossed before him.

 

“He doesn't need to know anything Kagome, he's not going to be here long enough anyway, not if I can help it.”

 

Shaking her head Kagome let out an exasperated sigh, “InuYasha, can't you at least try to get along with Sesshoumaru while we're here. I mean, it's hard enough trying to hide your existence from my friends, if you two start fighting then there's no way I could hide anything. So please, for me, at least try to act like you are brothers for once.”

 

Gritting his teeth, InuYasha nodded his head in reply, he was determined that Sesshoumaru stayed away from Kagome and if he had to act all `chummy' towards him, then so be it.

 

`Anyway, we shouldn't be here for very long, at least until Kagome wants to go back. After all, it was an accident that we fell down the well in the first place. I just hope he doesn't try anything here, if he does, I don't know if I can keep my promise to behave.'

 

Sesshoumaru glanced once at InuYasha before he turned his attention back upon Kagome, she was looking at him still as she awaited his reply to her request.

 

`She didn't command me to obey her…that means that she wants me to make my decision on my own. Apparently she wishes to know what this Sesshoumaru really wants, if I truly want her attention to remain focused upon me, then I must get along with InuYasha. I suppose this Sesshoumaru can put up with his stupidity.'

 

“This Sesshoumaru agrees to not fight, but once we return, that will end.”

 

Kagome nodded her head, it was all she could expect from Sesshoumaru, `after all they have always hated one another. I can't expect them to get along automatically, if they did then I would be worried that something was wrong.'

 

InuYasha's expression turned sour at his brother's reply and Kagome noticed. Deciding that it might be better if they went inside where her brother, mother and grandfather were, Kagome stood slowly upon her shaky legs.

 

She swayed as the blood rushed to her feet, reaching out a hand towards the tree, Kagome gripped something solid. Once her legs were sturdy enough to walk on, Kagome started to let go when a hand was placed upon hers.

 

Rather surprised, Kagome turned her head and her eyebrows rose when she saw that Sesshoumaru's shoulder was what she had gripped, but what really surprised her was that it was InuYasha's hand upon hers. “What…”

 

Before she could continue, InuYasha had gripped her hand and pulled her away from Sesshoumaru and towards her house. Angered, Kagome tugged her hand free from InuYasha's, stopping she turned to look at Sesshoumaru. He had followed behind and seemed unbothered by what had just happened, but Kagome could tell better.

 

“Sesshoumaru…thank you.”

 

Turning before she could see his reaction, Kagome moved past a shocked InuYasha quickly. Shifting Sesshoumaru's now soaking wet haori, Kagome reached the door of her house.

 

Testing the door and finding it unlocked, Kagome slid it open. “Mom, Souta, Grampa! I'm home!”

 

Scraping and pounding noises reached her ears as she walked inside, dripping water onto the floor, forming a pool about her. Behind her she heard Sesshoumaru and InuYasha entering the house as well, the scrape of the door told her that InuYasha had remembered to shut it.

 

A split second later Kagome watched with amusement as her little brother Souta came barreling around the corner, her mother and Grampa were a few seconds behind him.

 

“Ka…go…me.” Souta was gasping in breaths as he walked at a slower pace towards her. “Wa…what took you...so long…to get back?”

 

Rubbing her arm, Kagome couldn't help the blush that came to her face as she tried to come up with an explanation. `I can't believe that I forgot about my own birthday…it must have been because of having to cross through the well. Now I have Sesshoumaru here…how am I going to explain this?'

 

“Ummm…sorry, I must have forgotten. A lot came up, mom, would you mind making some hot coca for me. I'm really cold.”

 

Smiling weakly, Kagome locked eyes with her mother, her expression pleading. Her mother smiled warmly back as she turned and headed back the way she came, towards the kitchen.

 

“I'll explain in a bit, I'd like to get changed first.” Souta was too busy looking around Kagome to hear her, but her Grampa did. He gripped Souta's shoulder and steered him from the room after his daughter, leaving Kagome with Sesshoumaru and InuYasha.

 

`I can see that they can understand, now I have to move into dealing with InuYasha and Sesshoumaru, this'll be interesting.'

 

Sighing, Kagome glanced once over her shoulder at the guys behind her, smirking slightly Kagome turned and made her way towards the stairs. Starting up them she was surprised when something soft slid about her waist halting her mid-step.

 

“What is it Sesshoumaru?” Kagome didn't need to turn to find out who this was, the soft, white and fluffy tail about her waist was all she needed.

 

Expecting to hear his voice from a couple feet away, Kagome was unprepared when she felt his hot breath in her ear as one of his arms slid about her waist, securing her back against a hard muscular chest.

 

“This Sesshoumaru shall not leave your side, where you go, so shall I.”

 

The way he said that was enough to have Kagome shivering, she knew he meant every word of it. Silently praying that InuYasha didn't kill her for this, Kagome started walking again, Sesshoumaru matching her step for step.

 

After topping the stairs, Kagome moved down the hall and reached out, opening her bedroom door. Moving inside, Kagome heard her door shut behind her, `Sesshoumaru must have shut it, that was nice of him…that was nice of him? What the heck am I thinking! Now I am stuck in my bedroom with the door closed and it's just us. Damn…what am I going to do now? InuYasha where can you be hiding…or don't you care that I am naked under this and now in a closed room with a hot as hell demon who's got the hots for me?!'

 

The truth was, at that moment InuYasha was out like a light upon her living room couch. Sesshoumaru had given him a swift knock to the back of the neck so that he wouldn't get in the way. Then after tossing him onto the couch, he approached Kagome, which lead them to where they were right now. Now back to the story.

 

Sesshoumaru couldn't help it as he buried his nose in Kagome's hair right next to her ear, taking a deep whiff his inner Inu purred in contentment while he just wondered what he was doing.

 

`This must have to deal with her claim upon me…but I haven't felt the pull of her powers since we entered her hut. Could this be what this Sesshoumaru really wants?'

 

Shocked and amused, Kagome tugged at Sesshoumaru's grip upon her, finding it as iron clad as ever she let out a huff of air. “Sesshoumaru, I don't mind that you're in here, but I would like to change out of your Haori now. So unless you want me to catch a cold and have you help me get better, you need to let go of me.”

 

Feeling his grip tighten a fraction and then slip free, Kagome turned to eye Sesshoumaru curiously. He looked like he was deep in thought or just staring at her, knowing him it was the first one.

 

Deciding that now was better than never, Kagome walked over to her dresser and pulled open the top drawer. Inside was several pairs of bra's, panties and socks. Picking out one of each she tossed them onto her bed before closing the drawer and opening the next one down.

 

As she busied herself with picking out a shirt and pants, Sesshoumaru had come out of his little state and sighted what Kagome had already tossed onto her bed.

 

Curiosity getting the better of him, he approached her bed and lifted one of the garments with his claw, it was a small dark blue thing and looked a lot like a triangle. Bringing it close, he sniffed at it, finding it covered in Kagome's scent he only sniffed harder.

 

Then out of nowhere the garment was snatched out of his grip, turning to look at who had the audacity to do that, Sesshoumaru was surprised when he met Kagome's angered yet embarrassed glare.

 

“Sesshoumaru, please don't touch this.”

 

Confused as to why she wouldn't want him touching the thing, Sesshoumaru took a step towards her. “What is that garment, I have never seen such a thing before.”

 

Kagome's blushed deepened at his question, but she quickly came up with a way to explain this to him.

 

“One second, alright.”

 

Moving to her bed, Kagome set her panties next to her bra before reaching down at the knot in Sesshoumaru's Haori. Glancing once over her shoulder she saw that Sesshoumaru was watching her closely, `well…he's already seen me naked once. So, I guess it wouldn't hurt...'

 

Quickly undoing the knot, the Haori drifted open. Trembling, Kagome slowly slipped it off, letting it fall to a heap at her feet. Shaking from the sudden chill in the air, Kagome reached down and lifted her panties. Slipping them on, she turned a little too where her side was facing Sesshoumaru.

 

She didn't even dare look at him, not until she was dressed at least, otherwise that would have been extremely embarrassing. Moving a little faster she grabbed her bra and quickly put it on before lifting her pants. Securing the zipper and button, she took up her shirt and slid it on.

 

Running her hands nervously down her pant legs, Kagome turned to look at Sesshoumaru. For a moment she could see past his icy barriers, his eyes were darker and a low growl was coming from him as the side of one of his lips was curled up, the fang showing clearly.

 

Curious, Kagome walked over to him and noticed that the growling deepened the closer she got. Worried now, Kagome lifted her hand to touch his shoulder but never reached her mark.

 

Sesshoumaru had been in shock as he watched Kagome change her clothes, he had seen many females naked before, but for some reason that was foreign to him his inner Inu started acting up again.

 

It was telling him to approach her and mate with her right her, right now. Only his sence of decency and the fact that she hadn't said that he could just jump her, held him back. But that didn't stop the growl that came rolling out of his chest, it was warning any other male that was around to stay away or else.

 

He thought that he could keep himself under control as long as Kagome kept her distance but low and behold she approached him. When he saw her hand lifting to touch him he couldn't hold back any longer.

 

His tail wrapping about her waist immediately, he tugged her firmly against his chest, so that she could feel ever muscle and every inch of him as she was held there.

 

Kagome couldn't stop the gasp that passed her lips as Sesshoumaru roughly secured her against his front, knowing that this could turn bad any second, Kagome cleared her throat as much as she could.

 

“Sesshoumaru…”

 

Before she could say anything else, Sesshoumaru lunged at her lips, kissing them with bruising force. Unable to stop the moan that burbled up, Kagome fisted her hands in his long silver locks, her grip turning painful.

 

The second he heard his name pass her lips, Sesshoumaru knew that resisting would be pointless at this point, so he gave in. Now that he had claimed her lips, he wanted more.

 

Letting his tongue brush along the seems of her lips, he silently begged Kagome to allow him to deepen their touch. Hesitantly her lips did just that and Sesshoumaru wasted no time in thrusting inside, ruthlessly attacking her gums and attempting to get her to `play' back.

 

Just as Kagome was going to do just that, her door opened and a loud gasp greeted her ears. Both shocked, they broke the kiss and whirled to look at who had interrupted them.

 

“Mom…”
