A Mid Summers Heat

It had to be the hottest summer on record, of that Kagome was sure. Both Iuyasha and Shippo now walked shirtless as did Miroku, the monk. Kagome watched as sweat slid down Inuyasha's back, it was so hot that even he was sweating.

Kagome herself left her long sleeve top behind and replace it with a white razor back tank top, her skirt thankfully was cool to wear and she was most thankful for ANY summer breeze that graced her behind, of course she was sure the monk behind her was thankful to, but it was to hot to care. Kagome even convinced her friend Sango to do away with her heavy kimono style top for a black matching razor back top, but Sango had refused to do away with her long skirt.

Kagome used her forearm to wipe sweat away from her forehead as they walked and for once they walked in silence, it was to hot to even speak. Kagome wondered for a moment if the heat was getting to Inuyasha's head, because right now, they were headed West, right into his brother domain.

"Inuyasha, are you sure about this?" Kagome asked,

Sure they had all gotten along as of late, but that was not an invite to come over for a house party,

"K, half that damn castle is mine, I don't care what he says"

Inuyasha had brought up the idea of going there due to the heat, of course he blamed this on his human friends, they were weak and could not go on in this kind of weather. It was so hot that even Naraku dared not show or fight, many villages were at peace due to the down rate of attacks.

"Are we there yet" The little fox demon cried on top of Sango's cat demon friend, if it were up to Kagome they would both be shaved right now, no doubt that cat must have been hot.

"Quit your crying will ya" Inuyasha shot back,

The heat was making everyone cranky.

"I just hope you know what you're doing" Kagome said,

"Oi! Arnt you the one who said "oh Sesshomaru changed, he does not hate all humans now, he's strong bla bla bla" Inuyasha said in a girly like voice, trying to sound like her, he was still sulking about it, her words about his brother.

"Inuyasha sit"

He hit dirt and it was so dry that it kicked up in the air, making him cough.

"Oi wench it's to hot for this!" He snapped,

"Then stop being a jerk!" She snapped,

"I was just telling you what you said!" He responded back,

"I know what I said!" She stopped her foot,

"Oh, what, now your scared of him?" Inuyasha asked crossing his arms,

Kagome crossed her arms "No"

Then a creeping feeling went up her spine, she had only enough time to pull out her bow, but said bow was quickly knocked from her hands and it twirled a few times in the air before the tip stuck in dirt a few feet away from her,

Kagome gasp and then found the tip of a sword at her throat.

A bead of sweat roll down her neck and onto the sword, that's how close is was.

"Do you fear me now, priestess?"

Sesshomaru stood there, he to, to all their shock, was shirtless much like his brother. Kagome could not help but look at his naked chest, she felt herself swallowed, yep, now she was scared.

But before she could reply a naked child ran past, a imp following after her, it was, a comic display.

"Rin get back here this instant we are not going swimming!" Jaken called after the girl. Kagome's eyes followed after the two and swiftly she found the sword no longer pressed against her neck.

"Did she say swimming!" Shippo jumped down and ran after the girl,

"No, Shippo wait" Kagome called out with her hand reaching out to him, but he was gone,

"The demon child will be fine" Sesshomaru stated and Kagome blinked at him,

"I see the heat as brought you here, tell me dear half breed, come to seek my aid?"

"Like hell!" Inuyasha shouted,

Miroku bowed "Actually yes Lord Sesshomaru, we have"

"What!" Inuyasha snapped,

"We are aware that your father's house is now your domain but we where hoping to seek lodging in it, seeing as how your father's blood does run in our dear friend" Miroku stated still in a bow.

Sesshomaru spared him a small glance before moving his eye back to the path Rin had taken.

"Do you want me to go with them?" Kagome asked,

Sesshomaru glance at her again, she still wore the short kimono but now she was wearing an odd top that showed off even more skin, he wondered how the damn girl still held her innocence.

"Hn, you and the slayer may go"

"Hia" Kagome spoke and then looked to Sango, they both nodded and then took off, first in a slow trot then a full run, and they didn't stop, the cool water came into to site and they just ran right in, joining the two small kids, they would worry about their clothing later.

Miroku was still in the bowing position waiting, he to wanted to the join the girls, the sweat was all but pouring off his head.

"So, you wish to stay in the house of our father, hai half breed"

Inuyasha growled,

"And the humans are ok with this plan of yours?" He asked board,

"Yeah, for some reason Kagome thinks you're a good guy now" Inuyasha said with hate,

Sesshomaru rose a eyebrow, he could feel how jealous his brother was, and over something so small.

"All you have to do Inuyasha, is ask" Sesshomaru stated simply,

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, Miroku now stood, it was a simple thing, an easy thing really, but he knew between these brothers, it was anything but easy, Sesshomaru was showing his younger brother just who was master and just who alpha.

Inuyasha hands went into tight first,

"Now Inuyasha, think before you speak" Miroku added, begged really "Think what Kagome will do to you if you mess this up my friend"

No doubt the girl would sit him.

Inuyasha's anger built up and he was trying his beast to keep calm, Miroku was right after all.

"What's the matter Inuyasha, cat got you tongue?" The older dog demon asked,

Miroku knew that statement would throw Inuyasha over the edge and he sighed in defeat.

"What you say!" Inuyasha snapped,

"Inuyasha, Miroku, Sesshomaru, are you guys coming or what!" Kagome yelled, waving her hand back and forth,

All three mens stood, jaws slack and eyes forward to her being, there she stood soaking wet, her white shirt clinging to her chest and her chest standing proud.

"Perhaps Lady Kagome is unaware of her state of dress?" Miroku questioned "I do not know about you two but I would rather be joining them then standing here in this heat, pardon me if you will, after all, when a woman calls you go"

Miroku walked off "Coming Kagome" He said in his sly voice, no doubt up to something.

Inuyasha walked to his brother side, both still looking at the girl, no, woman,

"Yeah, whatever, k, guess she is right, you have changed, you're looking at her just like we are, the Sesshomaru I used to know would not even spare her a glance" His said in a calm voice,

Sesshomaru looked at his brother will narrowed eyes, but Inuyasha did not return the look,

"So, can we stay or not" Inuyasha asked,

He had asked,

"Very well Half breed"

Inuyasha then started to walk off, leaving his brother to stand in the heat alone,

Inuyasha and Miroku jumped right in, making a big splash and the kids giggle. Kagome laughed and then looked back down the path at Sesshomaru, she smiled and then made a run for it, jumping in the air, her skirt caught a breeze and Sesshomaru caught the sight of Kagome's round perfect ass.

No one else seemed to notice but him and his eyes narrowed, they, no she, could not have come at a worst time. He, Sesshomaru was in heat and the heat was making it far more troubling, it had been to long since he laid with a woman, the problem was he did not desire to plunge himself into any that he came across.

But tonight, tonight he was sure, someone would have to relive him of the building fire within him, and if he had to do it himself, he would.
