Ch. 8

"Kagome!" Elizabeth called as Ah-Un landed on the ground in front
of Kaede's hut. Kagome's head popped out of the doorway, soon followed by the rest of
her body and then Inuyasha. The latter didn't look happy at all to see them.
"Oh come on Inuyasha, what's with the sour face?"Elizabeth asked
grinning. Inuyasha glared and opened his mouth to say something...and it stayed open.
"How the Hell did you do that?" was his intelligent reply.
Elizabeth, remembering the person responsible for this little developement, turned around
to look at Sesshomaru. Kagome stared at him for a moment before she realized what had
caught at her attention. His eyes kept looking around as though he was lost.
"Sesshomaru, can you see?", she didn't have time to slap her hand
over her mouth for speaking out loud when Inuyasha's musical voice joined in.
"Don't be stupid, of course he can see." Inuyasha looked at
Sesshomaru with the kind of grin that would've had him planted six feet under if his brother
would have seen it.
"I can not." Sesshomaru said his grip tightening on Elizabeth's
sides where they'd rested for a while now.
Feeling that Sesshomaru might not take much more of this,
Elizabeth decided she'd like to give him a chance to calm down and tell them what he
wanted them to know. "Um, Kagome, I'm a little tired, do you think I could lay down for
awhile?" and there wasn't any reason she couldn't get a nap out of the process, for she
trully was tired.
"Sure, where's Rin?" Kagome asked as she stood beside Ah-Un
as Elizabeth climbed off. She didn't miss Sesshomaru's reluctant release of Elizabeth
and grinned to herself, I think they like each other she thought to herself as she lead her
friend into Kaede's hut.
"Rin's going to join us shortly. Sesshomaru's sending Ah-Un
after her. Where's the others?" Elizabeth asked as she climbed into a bed already half
asleep.
"Kaede is taking care of some of the villagers who have
caught a cold. Miroku and Sango went to Sango's village to fix her weapon. It got
damaged in a fight with a crow demon." Kagome said only to find that Elizabeth had
already fallen asleep. Kagome quietly exited the hut to find Inuyasha growling and
Sesshomaru glaring the best he could as they stood facing each other.
"Oh, knock it off already, Inuyasha." Kagome sighed,
"Sesshomaru, did you by any chance find out why Elizabeth seems to be constantly tired?"
"No, I only managed to get her to understand us."
Sesshomaru said. He'd gotten off Ah-Un and sent it to get Rin and Jaken while Inuyasha
and he exchanged insults. Kagome took a quick glance at the irrate hanyou before she
looked back to Sesshomaru.
"How exactly did you manage that?" she asked as she sat
down on one of the logs that'd they'd been using as seats.
"I made a deal with a sea witch." Sesshomaru said it like it
was nothing but by the way Inuyasha's mouth hung open yet again, Kagome guessed it was
more serious.
"You sold your body to a sea witch!?" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagome jumped and looked at him, Where in the world did he get that idea? she thought
as she turned back to Sesshomaru.
"No you poor excuse for a hanyou, I did not. I offered the witch
something she wanted more." Sesshomaru replied glaring once again over Inuyasha's head.
Inuyasha only gaped further, "You offered your hand in marriage!?"
he barely managed to squeak out.
"No you stupid twit! I threatened her with a slow and painful
death just like yours." Sesshomaru lied, he hadn't offered the witch any thing but something
in him wanted to see his brother's reaction to the idea of him dealing with a sea witch. Now
though, he was tired of the game.
Before Sesshomaru could decapitate Inuyasha, Kagome spoke up,
"You two are worse than two five year olds." Both the males' gazes flicked to her making
her gulp underneath the annoyed glares.
The conversation was interrupted yet again when Ah-Un arrived
with Rin and Jaken on his back. "Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin called as she ran up to him.
"Hi Rin." Kagome said smiling at the little girl. Rin grinned from
beside Sesshomaru.
After explaining the situation to Rin and Jaken the group retired
for the night. Jaken was unhappy with Elizabeth but knew that if he said anything he'd be
punished. Rin took it well and was happy to go to sleep beside Kagome.
Sesshomaru did not sleep at all that night, and neither did
Inuyasha, but they both stayed quiet for the sakes of the rest of the group.
But Sesshomaru thought they were done talking, he had another
thing coming in the morning Inuyasha thought.
