Feeling dirty

**

Sango made Inuyasha pull
back so they were falling behind the rest of the group. Inuyasha could see the
troubled face of his mate and it had him concerned. As soon as they were out of
hearing range, he pulled her close and made her look into his eyes.

-         

What is it love? he asked.

-         

I am worried Inuyasha, said Sango truthfully.

-         

Why? Don’t you feel confident enough? Don’t you think we will
win this battle?

-         

It is not that, I am worried about you… and Kikyo, whispered
Sango, tears glittered in the corners of her eyes.

Inuyasha wanted to growl.
He had been sure that she knew completely what the mating meant.

-         

Sango – look at me! he demanded.

She gasped when she saw
his golden eyes flash red for a split second.

-         

You are my mate, not her. She is not a problem, I have not
thought of her like that in ages, or it feels like it has been ages. If she
attacks you or anything, I will kill her do you understand me mate? he spoke
with a low voice, but Sango could hear the force behind it.

-         

Y-yes, she breathed.

-         

Good, because I will personally spank your bum if you ever
dare to question the sacred bonds between mates, he snarled out the words.

Sango paled but nodded.

Inuyasha moved her up
against a tree and kissed her feverishly. His hands were tangled into her hair
and he could feel her heated response. For a few minutes they were completely
lost to the world.

But Inuyasha’s keen
hearing picked up Sesshoumaru’s call and he pulled away from Sango. Her face
were flushed with emotions and he could not help but smile.

-         

I love you Sango, never doubt that, he whispered hotly and
kissed her again.

“Inuyasha…”
she called his name inside her mind as she felt his tongue play with hers for a
short moment before he picked her up bridal style and took a few giant leaps to
catch up with the rest of the group.

Sesshoumaru stopped
Miroku before they reached their final destination. He moved them to stand a bit
secluded and he looked at the monk with questioning eyes.

-         

What is it Sesshoumaru-sama? asked Miroku.

-         

I feel something very disturbing in your houriki houshi-sama,
said Sesshoumaru concerned.

-         

What are you talking about?

-         

Where is the potion?

-         

Right here inside my robe, said Miroku.

-         

Let me see it.

-         

Why?

-         

Because I am asking you to, said Sesshoumaru, he was loosing
his patience.

Miroku gulped noticeable.

-         

You don’t have it do you? You fool!!

-         

Don’t order me around Sesshoumaru-sama, spat Miroku.

-         

You are a fool houshi. Good thing that Ah-Uhn is a
trustworthy companion, said Sesshomaru and took the vial from his sleeve and
held up for the monk to see.

-         

Where did you get it?

-         

Where you threw it of course Miroku. Why?

-         

That is my business alone.

-         

Then I am asking you as a friend, why? Sesshoumaru’s voice
was soft and gentle.

Miroku felt his chest
contract; tears welled up inside his eyes. “Gods, why couldn’t he just be
angry with me?” he thought and swallowed the lump inside his throat.

-         

Your assumptions are right Sesshoumaru-sama, I did not intend
to come out from the fight alive, whispered Miroku.

-         

Do you love her that much Miroku-kun? So much that if you can
not have her you would rather die?

-         

Yes…

-         

She was never meant for you, she was always destined to end
up with my brother. I am surprised that a man with such holy powers as yours
have not noticed this.

Miroku’s blue eyes flared
with anger.

-         

Don’t you think I fucking know this?? he sobbed, trying to
hold back his feelings.

-         

Then I do not understand… Sesshomaru honestly frowned when he
heard Miroku’s words.

-         

She is the only woman whom I ever considered to be my wife,
even if I did not act like it. She is strong, she is funny, she is beautiful. Of
course I saw the signs between them, but I refused to believe them.

-         

Miroku-kun, don’t despair; there is still hope for you. There
is always hope.

-         

I know…

-         

Drink this now and suck some demon asses into that hole of
yours, fight for Inuyasha and Sango, said Sesshoumaru and gave him the bottle.

-         

Yes….

Miroku opened the vial
and poured the potion down his throat. He did not blink when the liquid burned
its way down to his stomach. When it was empty he used his sleeve to wipe his
mouth. Sesshoumaru smiled and turned around to walk back, but Miroku grabbed his
arm and turned him back again.

-         

Sesshoumaru-sama…

-         

Yes?

-         

Thank you…. You are a true friend.

-         

Hrm… well…

Sesshoumaru felt his
cheeks flare up and he nodded towards Miroku. It felt good to hear.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ¤ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

“That is disturbing…”
thought Inuyasha, but it really warmed his heart when he saw Sesshoumaru and
Miroku walk side by side, his brother had put his arm around Miroku’s shoulder
and hugging him tight to his form. “I wonder what they have been talking about?”

-         

Are we all ready? asked Sango and took hold of Inuyasha’s
hand.

-         

Yes!! they all agreed.

-         

Then what the hell are we waiting for? Let’s kick some ass!

They all nodded and
formed up their team, Miroku first, his left hand rested on the enchanted prayer
beads that held his Kazaana in check.
