Matters of the Heart or the Heartless

Chapter One

A/N: Alright … Sesshomaru and Kagome is now my favorite pairing and after starting to get bored with my other fan fictions (as I seem to do easily –sigh-) I decided that I'd write one myself! Something that bugs me is that in every one of the stories, it always takes him FOREVER to realize his feelings for her and I know that it's like in his personality or whatever but it drives me bonkers! Anyway … I'll try to keep in personality but … I'll just have to make the realization quicker!

Sesshomaru was staring down at his half brother in boredom as he went on about touching 'his' Kagome. He rolled his eyes a little, resisting the urge to sigh.

"InuYasha," Sesshomaru snapped. The hanyou's head whipped to face him as he drew Tetsusaiga

"Why do you call the human wench yours?" Sesshomaru queried, mostly out of boredom. At least that's what he told himself. Lately, he hasn't been able to think of much else but the miko before him. It didn't help that the wench had put a subduing necklace around him also. For whatever reason was beyond him at the moment, he missed the wench saying that cursed word, sending him face down into the dirt.

InuYasha's ears twitched and he growled fiercely. "Why do you care? She's mine and no one else's!" Kagome sighed a little, massaging her temples. Lately Sesshomaru had been coming around more often, getting InuYasha's back up even more. It was sweet sometimes how InuYasha always referred to her as 'his' but mostly it was just annoying, since she didn't have those specific feelings for him. She knew as well that the only reason he was with her was because she could see the shards and because she was Kikyo's reincarnation.

"InuYasha … sit boy!" Thump! InuYasha fell face first into the ground. "InuYasha, how many times do I have tell you, I DON'T belong to you!" Sesshomaru allowed himself a quick and quiet chuckle and a smirk, in which the human wench caught.

"And you! Down!" Thump! Sesshomaru was also sent into the ground, face first. "Now, if no one minds, I am going to go have a bath!" Grabbing her yellow backpack, Kagome stomped towards the spring.

Kagome sighed a little as she climbed into the hot water, letting it warm her up nicely. Those bakas! I don't belong to anyone and I certainly don't belong to InuYasha!

She didn't notice for a few minutes, that someone was standing behind her. The hairs on the back of her neck rose and she was instantly pulled from the water and a hand came over her mouth.

She was met with golden eyes that held a hint of anger. Once her mouth was released, she stopped herself from uttering the word as a beautiful white kimono shirt came around her shoulders and she wrapped it around her naked body, blushing a little.

"Do you wish to rid yourself of my half brother?" Kagome looked at his golden eyes. The anger in them seemed to have subsided and there was something unreadable in them. Slowly, she nodded a little.

"Hai, I do." Sesshomaru gave a nod and then the large and very attractive taiyoukai of the west stepped up to her, closing the distance that was between them and slowly put a piece of hair behind her ear. Just as he had done it, he bristled and stepped back.

"I will come for you." With that, he took off, seeming to be in some sort of huff. Kagome blinked and blushed a little and looked down at the kimono shirt he had given her and she gently pulled it closer around him. Her heart was beating insanely and the only thing she could think about was what she had thought just a few seconds ago; I hope he kisses me …

A/N: Hi again! I hope ya'll like it. I tried to keep everyone in character as much as possible. I realize I left ya'll with a sort of cliffy … BUT … don't fear! You'll find out what happens soon enough! –Laughs evilly-

Disclaimer: We all get the point … no one really owns InuYasha except, obviously, for the person who does!
