The pair fell silent as they continued on towards the well, Kagome drifting in and out of sleep while Sesshoumaru stewed about Kagome's comments on both his sexual prowess and how long it had been since he'd last been with a woman. It wasn't because he could not find a willing woman so much as because he could not find a worthy one. How he wished he had said that, but if he were to do so now, it would only alert the miko to the fact that he was still thinking about it, searching for a comeback.
He had greatly enjoyed their banter, but he was unsettled by how upset he was that Kagome believed him to be less than capable in the bedroom. He didn't know why it was bothering him so much. What did it matter what a lowly human thought of him? But she wasn't just any human. She was Kagome, the Shikon Miko, brimming with power without a sliver of fear. She was the only woman to not shrink back from him. She challenged him, teased him, and he enjoyed it immensely. She could not think poorly of him in any way. He simply couldn't stand it. Yet, he could not think of a single way to correct it either.
The well was close now and the taiyoukai was surprised to find himself disappointed. In moment he would no longer be holding her in his arms. She would jump into the well and disappear from his time for days and he realized that he would miss her. He shook his head to dislodge such a foolish thought. The time away from her would be used to nip whatever this was between them in the bud. It could not be allowed to continue, no matter how fun it was. He was the Lord of the Western Lands. He was not supposed to have fun. By the time she returned, he would once again be in full command of his faculties.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes, blinking languidly, and her lips curved up slowly into a smile. "You're really carrying me. I thought I was dreaming."
The taiyoukai had to fight the desire to smile back at her, but while he was focused on preventing one atrocity, he committed another, leaning down to nuzzle her cheek with his. "It was not a dream," he said softly.
"No, I'm pretty sure it was... is a dream. No other explanation."
Sesshoumaru gave in and smirked. "We have almost reached the well. Will you have enough energy to travel through it?" He had no idea what was on the other side, though he assumed that it was still a well in the future, and he was somewhat concerned that she would not be able to climb back out once she jumped in.
"Yeah, I'll manage. There's a ladder in my time. Much easier than using vines."
Just as they broke out of the forest into the clearing housing the Bone Eater's Well, a familiar voice rang out. "What in the hell do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha asked with a snarl. "Put her down this instant!" The hanyou quickly took in the pitiful state Kagome was in, his anger growing. He'd headed to the well, intending on traveling to the future to remind his miko of when she needed to return, and also ensure she would bring back more ramen, only to discover that she'd never gone through.
He could scent both Kagome and Sesshoumaru and sense that they had run into the forest, the miko being chased by the taiyoukai. Despite their alliance, Inuyasha still did not trust his elder half-brother, and had immediately assumed the worst. Just when he had extended his senses to search them out, they arrived, and he did not like the sight they made. In his opinion, Sesshoumaru had no reason to be carrying Kagome, ever.
Kagome sighed. She wasn't up to dealing with a stand-off between brothers. She was tired, sore, and confused as hell about Sesshoumaru's behavior. The miko had no desire to listen to Inuyasha yell or to watch him swing the Tetsusaiga about wildly. "Not now, Inuyasha," Kagome said with a groan. "You can put me down though, Sesshoumaru," she continued softly. "Thanks for the lift."
The taiyoukai found that he was even more reluctant than before to release her. Not only was he enjoying the physical contact, something that he usually denied himself, but holding her like he was obviously was getting on Inuyasha's nerves, and that was never a bad thing in his book. Still, she asked him to do so, so he would. Sesshoumaru carefully set Kagome on her feet, keeping his hands on her until he was certain she had her balance and would not crumple from exhaustion.
Inuyasha growled viciously, the way Kagome seemed perfectly comfortable with his half-brother serving to anger him further. "Now who's going to explain what the hell is going on here?"
Kagome shook her head and walked slowly towards the well, picking up her previously discarded bag. She groaned her discomfort at its weight but continued on. She knew she was walking funny, her knees and hips complaining while her calves threatened to cramp, but she ignored it, wanting nothing but to finally make it home. Sure, she'd had fun flirting with the dangerous taiyoukai but her body hadn't appreciate the extra workout.
The hanyou watched her make her way towards the well and shot Sesshoumaru a glare. "What the fuck did you do to her?"
The miko sighed and sat on the old, weathered wood of the well with a frown. "He didn't do anything to me. Stop acting like that. He's our ally now. He's on our side. We were just... I don't know... We went for a run."
Sesshoumaru smirked smugly at the hanyou, knowing where his mind was, what he suspected. "Perhaps you should return to your time, Miko," he said without removing his eyes from his younger half-brother. "This Sesshoumaru will explain."
Kagome looked surprised as she glanced from one brother to the other. She shrugged, too tired to care, and leaned back, allowing the magic of the well to catch her and carry her home, leaving Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha alone.
