Summary: Out of boredom, Kagome rudely begins to meddle in Sesshoumaru's personal life.
Previous Chapter
With a keen eye he watched Kagome run after his uptight brother with a newfound fervor. If there was something he was certain of, it was that whenever Kagome set her mind on something, nothing would change it and nothing would stand in her way of accomplishment.
Albeit her latest idea was ridiculous, and maybe if his attitude had been different when she announced it, she might have forgotten about it; however, Inuyasha knew the moment he showed any retaliation or discomfort, Kagome would go through with her idea just to spite him.
Modern girls who got bored in his time were dangerous things, he was realizing.
“Oi, Sesshoumaru-sama!” she called to him sweetly. Inuyasha noticed she had not called him by her recent term of endearment, “Onii-san”, which seemed to send his temper ablaze every time she addressed him, and it made Inuyasha extremely uncomfortable to be so closely associated with someone who once wanted to beat the living tar out of him (and he probably still did, Inuyasha thought).
As usual, his brother ignored Kagome with obvious indifference as she ran toward him; however, like anything else - acid whip or even a glare, nothing would deter her from inviting his brother over to dinner. The end result was much worse, and Sesshoumaru didn’t even know the terror that was lurking inside Kagome’s brain.
If he knew she wanted to play matchmaker with him and become his best friend, well, he might not tolerate Kagome as well as he did now. (Inuyasha wasn’t keen on the idea of fighting his brother because he got angry with one of Kagome’s crazy whims).
Amazingly enough, when his thoughts cleared away, Inuyasha saw Kagome glide in front of Sesshoumaru before he took off to the skies. He looked down at her curiously, and Inuyasha was impressed enough that she had actually obtained his often-elusive attention.
“Hi! How are you?” When he heard her loud, nervous laughter, Inuyasha took one step, getting ready for when things went bad. His ears cocked as he tried to listen from this distance, and as Kagome babbled away, they began walking together out of the range of his hearing and taking a turn about the edge of the forest.
“What the?” he said aloud, but he didn’t want to anger Kagome and intervene when there was no dire reason, and it wasn’t like he didn’t trust her in the presence of another man.
Another man, who just happened to be his unpredictable, vicious brother.
“That’s great! Then it’s settled!” He heard her say as she turned around and they started walking back. Inuyasha’s brow knitted together suspiciously as they walked side-by-side toward his position.
How the heck did she manage to convince him to even notice her, let alone agree to have dinner with them that night?
Kagome beamed happily as they approached him. Sesshoumaru, who was silent and stony as ever, was oddly congenial as Kagome rattled off how happy she was to have his brother for dinner that night. It still didn’t explain how she managed to pull off this seemingly impossible request.
“No offense, Kagome, but how in the hell did you convince him to eat with us?” Inuyasha sneered, and he turned to his brother. “And you...” He pointed accusingly. “What do you get in all of this? What are you scheming?”
His brother said nothing; he didn’t even flinch, but Inuyasha’s rudeness definitely stirred Kagome’s ire. She put her fists on her hips and hollered at him. “Honestly, behave yourself, Inuyasha. You need to be a better host to our guest.”
Inuyasha guessed his brother was feeling rather smug inside, but he still couldn’t quite tell.
“What? Host? This guy tried to kill us on many occasions! What the hell is wrong with you, woman? Are you out of your mind?” Inuyasha continued to glare at Sesshoumaru, trying to figure out what his interest was with Kagome, and why, out of the blue, he was suddenly in agreement to play house with her.
“Now, Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru-sama has assured me that he would like to dine with us, but there are some conditions. It seems he has a special diet,” Kagome explained. His brother’s cold eyes seemed to bore into him like miko’s arrows.
“Yeah, yeah, I know; he’s too good for human food,” Inuyasha said condescendingly. “That’s why I can’t understand what the hell he intends to do.”
“Now if you just settle down and listen, I’ll explain,” Kagome said huffing with impatience. She shot his brother the sweetest smile, one that Inuyasha did not like at all, and he hoped she never looked at his brother like that again. “Sesshoumaru says he will have dinner if you could hunt the food for him. I mean, after all, he tells me you being an inu-youkai, well at least half, you should know how to hunt for food that’s appropriate for his diet.”
Inuyasha’s eyes narrowed, and he was seething inside. He figured out his brother’s plan now, and not only was he mildly insulted by this game of servitude, but also his brother knew very well beyond Kagome’s understanding that any meat on the hunt would be eaten raw as a show of skill and power. It was a well-known ritual of his kind, and Inuyasha, because of his birth, was never allowed to participate in it. Sesshoumaru knew that well enough, and he was only offering Inuyasha the chance by way of mockery and at the expense of Kagome’s ignorance.
Inuyasha growled and glowered at his brother. He searched his brother’s face for any indication of smarmy satisfaction toward the whole proposal. Of course it wasn’t visibly there, but it was obvious the moment Inuyasha met his brother’s eyes.
If were possible for his golden eyes to laugh, Inuyasha knew that his brother was loudly amused at his expense right now.
