My Middle Name

"I want to go."

"No."

Kagome crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing.  Sesshomaru eyed her with a blank expression that had started to become all

too familiar. Inuyasha, knowing her temper, kept his eyes on the ground and pretended not to hear a single word.  Shippo sat between Kagome and Sesshomaru, watching them warily.  When Kagome and Sesshomaru got into a fight, sometimes it ended with growls, yells, and nasty purification burns.  

Sesshomaru huffed, "You do not know what you are asking for."

"I'm asking to go into battle with you.  I can help!  A miko on your side can only be an advantage!" she argued.  

He went silent, his eyes on her's.  She flushed.  She hated when he did this.  Sometimes she felt he could stare right into her mind and read it at his leisure.  And if he looked deep enough then he would find...that she...  She shook her head harshly, sending her dark hair flying around her pink cheeks.  

"You know I'm right!"  

"Hnn."  

She blinked in surprise, and now his huff sounded almost amused.  

"You will listen to what I say."  

"Of course!"  she thrilled.  

"There will be youkai."

"Youkai, schmokai."

Now Inuyasha snorted with laughter, and Shippo giggled, his tail flicking.  

"There will be danger," Sesshomaru intoned, his voice flat.  

Kagome winked, catching the daiyoukai off guard.

"Danger is my middle name."
