A/N Nope I still don't own these guys. Doesn't stop me from tormenting them though.
Chapter One
Kagome and Inuyasha arrived back in the feudal era after gathering supplies for a few weeks. Kagome had finally graduated from school, Naraku was destroyed, and even the Shikon no Tama had been purified. They had be promised by the jewel that as long as the two of the where together, that the well would continue to work. All in all the life that they led was good. Even with the battles that they still fought, they where happy.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha in surprise as he started to growl deep in his throat. “what's wrong Inuyasha?” Kagome asked him.
“That bastard brother of mine in near by. It's a good thing that you got into the habit of masking out scents before leaving the shrine. Otherwise he would have figured out our secret.”
Kagome sighed softly as she put her hand on his shoulder. “Just remember the promise that you made me Okay. He did help me when I needed him.”
“Keh, what ever wench.” He replied, but nodded his head slightly to show her that he understood.
'I just hope that Sesshoumaru remembers the promise that he made to me also. Otherwise this is going to be bad.' Kagome thought to herself.
Inuyasha gathered Kagome in his arms and jumped out of the well. They where greeted by the sight of Sesshoumaru's back as he faced off with Sango and Miroku. Thankfully Shippo was not around or he would have given away the fact that the two were now there. Sitting on the side of the well, Kagome placed her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder to signal for silence, while she waited to see what Sesshoumaru wanted.
“This Sesshoumaru will not ask twice. Where are the half breed and the Miko?”
Miroku smiled at the demon lord in front of him knowing that the two he was asking for where standing behind him. “They are not here at the moment.” he lied calmly.
“This Sesshoumaru knows this. Their presence disappeared a week ago and he would like to know why.”
Sango tensed, seeing that Sesshoumaru's normally cold mask became even colder. Knowing that this was a sign that the Demon Lord was growing angry. “If you tell us why you want to see them, we can tell them when they return that you where looking for them.”
Sesshoumaru did not like this answer, and he raised his right hand to let his poison gather on his claws. Seeing this Kagome laid her hand on Inuyasha's hand as he automatically reached for Tetsusaiga. Shaking her head at him as she stood up and pulled an arrow out of her quiver. Walking up behind Sesshoumaru she slid the tip through his hair to place it against his neck.
Sesshoumaru stiffened when he felt the arrow, and at the same time smelled the two he was looking for. Knowing that the purifying energy would hit him hard, he slowly lowered his hand and let the poison dissipates. At the same time he relaxed his body to show that he meant no harm.
“You made me a promise Sesshoumaru. I hope you don't plan on breaking it.” Kagome said, so only he and Inuyasha would hear.
Also lowering his voice so that only she and his brother could hear he stated calmly, “I meant no real harm, miko. I only wished to ask a favor of you.”
Removing the arrow so that it was no longer a threat. Kagome walked in front of Sesshoumaru. She placed her hands on her hips and glared up at the Demon Lord in front of her. Inuyasha also walked over to stand behind Kagome, amusement in his eyes, as he looked at his older half brother.
“If you wanted to ask me something,” she snarled at him, “this was diffidently not the way to ask!”
Knowing that if he wanted the mikos help, he would have to swallow his pride and apologize. He said in a voice that was loud enough for the others to hear “You are right. This Sesshoumaru asks that you except his apology, and wishes to ask your forgiveness for threatening the members of your pack.”
Everyone but Kagome stared at him in shock. They could not believe that he would ask forgiveness. Kagome just narrowed her eyes and glared some more. “I'll think about it.” was all that she said.
Turning back to the well, she started gathering the smaller of the bags that were brought back. Glancing back at Sesshoumaru she smiled and said, “you can start earning my forgiveness by helping your brother to carry the rest of this stuff back to the village.” With that she joined Miroku and Sango for the walk back, leaving the brother's to stare at her retreating back.
Inuyasha picked up half of the bags left behind, before turning to his brother. “I don't know what you promised her, but you better do as she says. She's mad enough at you at the moment.” Inuyasha then started to follow the others to the village.
Sesshoumaru glared at the bags, and then started to walk towards the village without them. He was stopped after a few feet when an arrow landed in his path. “Don't even think about it. I only asked you to do one little thing. Or are those bags to heavy for you?” Came a mocking voice from ahead of him.
Turning to pick up the bags, he stalked to the village and dropped them in front of Kagome and stated, “This Sesshoumaru, does not take orders, nor is he a pack mule for some human female.”
Kagome stood from where she was unpacking supplies before once more fixing the Demon Lord with a glare. “This Kagome did not come to you asking for a favor after threatening members of your pack. This Kagome is getting extremely tired of your superior attitude. And this Kagome wishes that the full dog demons in this world would STOP acting like puppies and learn to be nice to others!”
“Are you done yet Miko?”
Inuyasha was have a great time listening to Kagome give his almighty brother a taste of his own medicine. He was also starting to relax, knowing that whatever promises were made between the two, it insured that Kagome was safe from Sesshoumaru's temper. That was right up to when Sesshoumaru made a big mistake and asked Kagome that stupid question. And even then he was not expecting Kagome's response.
SLAP.
Staring in horror as the red mark, that appeared on Sesshoumaru's cheek, started to bleed, Inuyasha realized that Kagome had used her 'claws' when she had slapped his brother. Pulling Kagome behind him as Sesshoumaru's eyes started to turn red, he prepared to face the enraged Demon Lord who was growling deep in his chest.
An answering growl sounded from behind him, as Kagome once again stepped in front of Inuyasha. “Your promise protects me from your claws drawing blood. You also cannot poison me, since you insured that I was immune to you poison. The only way you can truly hurt me, is if you decided to keep your daughter from seeing me again. And I don't think that you want to do that to Rin. And Damn It, Sesshoumaru, I have a name. Use it.”
Knowing that what Kagome said was once again true, Sesshoumaru let his anger leave him. But not wishing to apologize once more in front of her pack that he was slowly starting to think of as his own, he did the next best thing. Allowing his mask to slip a bit more, he said, “I see you have grown a somewhat decent set of claws, Kagome.”
Accepting this for what it was, and ignoring the shocked looks from her friends, Kagome gave in and decided to forgive him. “Of course I did. What did you expect me to do? I deal with a set of pups on a regular basis!”
Another shocked silence meet this statement, before Miroku and Sango, started to laugh. The look on the two 'pups' faces was simply priceless.
“I am not a pup!” Was heard from both brothers at the same time.
