Chapter 1: Blue-gray Against Amber

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had been fighting for a little over half an hour and it wasn't looking good for either of them. Sesshomaru had already knocked Inuyasha down and struck him several times, and Inuyasha was getting tired. Also Inuyasha had had his sword thrown out of his hand, so he had to rely on his own strength. Though Inuyasha was badly injured, he had managed to land a couple blows on Sesshomaru too.

They were both getting slower and more tired by the second. Kag was very worried about them both and wanted to stop them, some how. The brothers' weren't getting anywhere in their battle so why keep fighting? That was Kagome's logic anyway. Right then Inuyasha punched Sesshomaru right in the face, sending him plowing to the ground. Kagome stood frozen, she was scared to death and was mentally willing Sesshomaru to get up again.

Over her many encounters with Sesshomaru over the years he had stopped trying to kill her, or for that matter, he had stopped trying to hurt her at all. She couldn't figure out why but she noticed it and noted it every time. Kagome no longer feared Sesshomaru but instead pitied him. How awful it must be for him to have so little emotion, so little love. And yet at the same time she respected him for his strength, grace, and handsome features. Kagome had no problem and never thought twice about calling Sesshomaru good-looking, because of the simple fact that he was.

Kagome also felt something else for him but couldn't quite decide what the feelings were. She couldn't explain it and didn't try. She was afraid to know "what" exactly these strange sentiments could be so she tried not to question herself or her motives. It would be to hard to realize what was going on, and at this time she didn't know for sure it she could handle it.

Even though Kagome's feelings were odd, they were nothing compared to Sesshomaru's. He hadn't even thought about harming Kagome in a very, VERY long time. He didn't precisely know why he wanted her safe, but he did. And over the years he found that he had a strange weakness for her. That was the reason that he continued to ignore her whenever they were close. Sesshomaru didn't want her to be hurt, or worse killed, he still didn't know why, but he did. So tired not to think or even look at her when she was near. But even though he tired, he could never stop thinking about her and vice versa.

When Sesshomaru had first started feeling this way he thought that SHE was casting a spell of some sort on him. But he soon realized that that wasn't it. Sesshomaru also realized that he respected Kagome for her power, will, and beauty. Not even "THE" Lord Sesshomaru minded admitting that she was gorgeous. Even if she was human, anyone with eyes could see that she was.

He too was confused by his powerful feelings. Sesshomaru didn't know why he felt so protective and cared for he so. He tried not to brood on it, at least ALL the time anyway. After about another twenty minuets passed Kagome couldn't take it anymore. So she yelled and ran out to Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru! Please, stop!"

It seemed as though time had stopped. Sesshomaru turned all of his attention to Kagome, and when their eyes met they both froze. Blue-gray against amber. They both gasped at all the feelings and emotions spreading threw them. Finally Kagome remembered why she had run out to him. Also, she had noticed Sango and Miroku grinning knowingly, Shippo and Kirara staring highly confused, and Inuyasha with a look of complete outrage.

"Please, Sesshomaru," she breathed when she turned back to face him again. "Please stop this useless fighting." She was begging him. Kagome was actually begging.

Sesshomaru could see the pleading look in her eyes. He didn't want her to be upset, especially with him. So he did the only thing he could, he withdrew. Sesshomaru backed away a few paces still looking in Kagome's stunning eyes. Her breath was caught at all the emotion going threw his features. At that moment they understood their feelings for each other, but now wanted to know a different question: Does he/she feel the same way? When the ultimately looked away time resumed.

Everyone was silent. But when Sesshomaru turned and motioned for Jaken, Inuyasha blew up.

"Where the hell do you think that you are going? We are not done here! Why the fuck are you listening to some damned human bitch?!"

"Do not speak that way about her, Inuyasha, it makes you sound like a jealous mate."

"What did you say?! That wench is not my mate, and I can say anything that I want about her!"

Sesshomaru clenched his fists at the way Inuyasha kept referring to Kagome.

"That's right, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha is definitely NOT my mate! I don't have one." Kagome said to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru had a hopeful gaze on Kagome that was pissing off Inuyasha. He was also ticked off that she had so easily dismissed him, though, he had done it the exact same thing to her. Kagome didn't care what Inuyasha said anymore, she hadn't for a long time. Nothing he said affected her much either. It had been like that ever sense she started to get strange feelings toward Sesshomaru. Usually she would just go along with his tantrums and "sit" him, but at the present time she for got to pretend.

"Damn straight!" Inuyasha yelled pretending to recover from his disgruntled feelings.

Inuyasha had expected Kagome to respond, but she said nothing. When he turned around to look at her he saw Kagome and Sesshomaru staring at each other again. Deciding that he did NOT like the "look" Inuyasha started yelling, again.

"Fine, if you're going to run, then run!"

Sesshomaru didn't say anything he just left. Immediately Inuyasha turned to Kagome again. Oh, was she going to get it.

"Kagome!"

"Huh?"

"What the hell is with you?! Why did you have to but in?!"

"What?! Oh, so sorry, but I didn't want you to be SMASHED into the ground!" she screamed. There went her "I don't care" mantra. `Though I didn't want to see Sesshomaru hurt either.'

"I could have handled it!"

"I would have beaten him if you hadn't of gone and fucked it up!"

"What ever, I'm done! I'm done with pretending to care what you think, what you want, I'm over it! Next time I'll do everyone a favor and let him kill you!" Kagome walked away after that, heading to their camp.

"Get back here! I'm not through with you yet!" Inuyasha yelled after her.

She turned to face him again. "Yeah, well, I'm finished with you so FUCK OFF!"

Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. Had Kagome, "his" (debatable) Kagome really just curse at him? Needless to say he was shocked. She never, NEVER cursed. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara were equally stunned, so when she was back at camp they started talking.

"What was all that about?" Inuyasha asked.

"I'm sure it was because you were yelling at her! You pushed her to far this time, Inuyasha." Sango responded.

"Sango is right, Inuyasha, Kagome saved your life today. Though I'm not sure how she did it." Miroku said.

"Yeah! You baka! Kagome got Sesshomaru to leave and you just started shouting at her!" Shippo exclaimed.

"I know, just shut the hell up already!" Inuyasha said uncomfortably. "What I want an explanation about is why she said that she was "done" with me and all that shit about pretending with me! What is going on?!"

"Yeah, well, I would like to know how Kagome got Sesshomaru to go." Said Sango.

"Yes, how did she do it? They were just staring at each other after she asked him to stop. Then when Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were arguing they just sort-of looked into each other's eyes and-" Miroku started.

"Thanks for the touching recap, Miroku, but I don't want to hear it!" Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha, it bothers you, doesn't it? It was the way that they were looking at each other. That's why you started berating her. Isn't it?" Sango asked.

"Yes, okay! Yes! I was just so-"

"Jealous!" Shippo teased.

"Yeah, I was, it's just-"

"She has never looked at you like that has she?" Sango said making more of a statement then a question.

"No, she hasn't."

"Ha ha! You were jealous! But you're an idiot because Kagome didn't do anything wrong! It's not like they're in love or something!" Shippo taunted.

"What did you say?!" Inuyasha growled.

"Nothing!" Shippo squeaked, dodging Inuyasha's attempts to grab him.

"You don't think that Kagome and Sesshomaru are-" Sango started.

"NO! They aren't anything! They wouldn't, she wouldn't." Inuyasha shouted.

"But, why not? I mean, after what happened just now, who knows they-" Miroku suggested.

" NO, NO, NO! She loves ME! ME, remember!"

"Yes, well," Miroku said slowly, looking at Sango for help.

"She did." Sango whispered.

Sango looked to Miroku, she knew what he was thinking. Kagome had told them both that she only thought of Inuyasha as a brother, not a lover. She had also told Sango about her strange feelings toward Sesshomaru and more details about her feelings, or lack there of, for Inuyasha. So, in turn, Sango had informed Miroku.

"What do you mean, "She did," Sango?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Well-" Sango began, but then stopped again when she saw Miroku shake his head no.

"No, Sango, let Kagome tell him."

"You're right, it's her affair."

"Don't listen to him! Tell me what she said!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha, but you're going to have to ask her yourself." Sango said.

"Fine then I will!" with that he started off to their camp. He wanted answers and he wanted them now.

"So, he doesn't know?" Shippo asked. Even Shippo knew of Kagome's feelings, he was her adopted son after all, so it only made sense for her to tell him too.

"Nope." San and Miroku said together.

"Oh my god. This is going to be very bad." Shippo replied steadily to the surprising fact that Inuyasha was so unaware of Kagome's emotions.

"That's an understatement." Said Miroku.

"Yeah, well, let's go back to camp. Hopefully we can save Kagome." Sango said.

"I don't think that Kagome will be hurt, I'm more concerned about Inuyasha, he's in love with her after all. After she's done telling him what she told us I fear that state that he'll be in." Miroku said matter-of-factly.

"That's true! Oh let's go!" Shippo exclaimed.

"Miroku and Sango just rolled their eyes and started walking with Shippo and Kirara. Shippo talking the whole way about the different ways Kagome would beat up Inuyasha. VERY loudly and enthusiastically.
