Chapter 36 - Mind Blown

*Sword Summit* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

"Where the hell have you been, wench?" Inuyasha screamed as soon as Kagome and Sesshoumaru landed in the clearing they had been using for camp. The hanyou rushed to her side, as if checking her over for injuries, before pulling back sharply. "And why do you smell like Sesshoumaru?" His nose went into overdrive as he began sniffing the miko. "Everywhere!"

"Oh, not everywhere," Kagome said while rolling her eyes.

"Bullshit! I can smell his spit on you." Inuyasha whirled on the taiyoukai. "Why in the hell were you licking my Kagome?" He turned back to the miko. And why did you let him? Or did he force you? Please tell me he forced you." The hanyou's hand was on the hilt of his sword, begging to hear the words that would give him permission to try and slaughter his elder brother.

Working together to collect the jewel shards and battle Naraku hadn't been his idea and he was never happy with the arrangement. He only allowed it because the others had overruled him and he didn't want to look like a fool when his pack went against his wishes. No, he'd been forced into acquiescing and he hadn't liked it a bit.

"He was just healing my wounds," Kagome said while rolling her eyes at her friend's overreaction.

"What wounds? Did he hurt you?"

"Would you just calm down? You're not going to fight him. We're working together and you know it."

"I'll kill him if he hurt you. Screw this alliance bullshit."

"He didn't hurt me and no one is going to die today!" Kagome all but screamed. "And if you don't chill out, I'm going to 'it' you until you do. I got scratched up running through the woods. It's no big deal."

"What were you doing running through the woods anyway?" Inuyasha asked in a calmer tone. It was entirely fake, as his blood was still boiling, but he had no desire to be subjugated in front of his older brother. It was humiliating, in addition to being incredibly painful.

"We were..." Kagome paused for a moment, thinking of the right words. A smile pulled at her lips as she continued, "playing."

"Playing? What does that even mean?"

"It means your brother intends to court me and you're not going to say a word about it. How about that?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened and he looked to the taiyoukai for confirmation. Sesshoumaru merely nodded. The hanyou sputtered in confusion for several moments before turning and walking away, his brain officially fried. He couldn't believe it. Sesshoumaru, the human hating taiyoukai Lord of the West was going to court his sweet, innocent, and kind human miko from the future? Something was very wrong with the world he lived in. Very, very wrong.
