Chapter 13
Cock Block? Me?


Inuyasha and the group where getting ready to move on with all due haste. They still hadn't heard anything about Kagome, and they were a bit on edge.

They lost Sesshomaru when he went after Kagura and had not heard if he saved her or not. He took off after her without as much as a passing glance.

Inuyasha was extremely pissed off at how close Kagome and Sesshomaru had gotten in the short amount of time they spent together.

Inuyasha loved Kikyou yes, but he also loved Kagome. He knew he could not be with her, but at the same time he wanted no one else to either.

He knew it was wrong to 'cock block' her as he heard her brother Souta say once to him. Remembering that particular memory he both growled and a smiled.

~Flashback
Inuyasha was walking out of the well house intent on finding Kagome. He went to pick her up after she had been home for a week and a half.

"Where is she?" he growled quietly to himself when he noticed her scent was fading. Meaning she was not here, and had not been for a while.

Stalking up to her home he saw her brother outside playing soccer with a few friends he walked over to him, "Yo." he said to Souta, who turned to him to see who it was.

"Oh Inuyasha, what are you doing here? Kagome is out right now with her friends, she won't be back till later." Souta informed the grumbling hanyou.

Inuyasha looked at the boy, "What do you mean she's out with her friends? We have Shikon No Tama shards to find!" he huffed while folding his hands in his haori looking pissed.

The boy tilted his head in confusion, "You mean you didn't know? She is staying here for a few months. But her going out was last minute, Hojo came by and insisted 'she get some fresh air because it will be good for her many illnesses.'" the boy scoffed as he quoted his sister's admirer.

Inuyasha knew who this Hojo was, he heard Kagome speak of his unrelenting interest in her. Plus he did see it for himself when the idiot tried to challenge him during that thing Kagome called a 'school play'. "You mean she went on a DATE with this Hobo?" he asked his voice taking an angry tone at the idea of Kagome with another male.

A frustrated Souta looked at him, "Inuyasha? What does it matter that she is out with a boy? It's not like she is your girlfriend. I have heard my sister say that you had another girlfriend who she always found you with."

Inuyasha, a bit taken back by what the boy said quickly told him, "Don't talk about things you know nothing of." he finished with a low growl.

The boy looked at him, "Inuyasha you have no right to be mad. Stop cock blocking my sister, she deserves to find someone who can love her back!" he said a bit annoyed, his sister told him about Kikyou.

At first he didn't believe his hero could pretty much tell her with his actions that she will not have him, and then stop others who may be interested in having a relationship. But he had seen how he was and he was sick of it.

His sister deserved to have a relationship with a man who could love her as much as she loved him. It wasn't fair of Inuyasha to choose a women other then Kagome but act as a jealous boyfriend when it came to her and other males.

Inuyasha looked at him exasperated, "Cock block?" he asked confusion clear in his voice. He knew what a cock was but a 'cock block' it sounded painful.

Souta nervously laughed at the question. Scratching the back of his head nervously he replied, "Simply put to 'cock block' means to stop other guys from making advances on Kagome." He thought that would probably be the best explanation for what he was doing. Plus he really didn't want to go into suggestive detail on what 'cock block' could mean. It would probably start more problems than finish them.

Gaping, Inuyasha looked at the boy, "I am NOT cock blocking her!" he paused before continuing in a whisper, "I am just keeping those not good enough away from her."

Souta, not one to let that opening slide added, "Is anyone good for her Inuyasha? Or it is that no one but you are good enough for my sister?" he asked half curious as to the answer and half taking a jab at him.

Inuyasha looked at the boy, 'this is getting me nowhere.' he thought before he said, "Whatever… I have things I need to do. Tell your sister I came by to pick her up." he grumped while taking off in the direction of the well house.

Flashback fin~

He was 'cock blocking' her, but it couldn't be helped, it was more out of habit than anything else. He knew her, she was naïve, and way too trustful, her innocence was unbelievable and he just wanted to protect that.

'No that's not right!' he thought to himself as the answer was clear to him, 'I don't want her with anyone because she houses Kikyou’s soul.' He loved Kikyou for who she was inside, he loved her soul. Kagome was her reincarnation, the idea of any part of Kagome being bonded to anyone else was unthinkable. He knew Kagome was nothing like Kikyou that much was obvious but still.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts as a scent drifted to his nose in the wind.

Inuyasha jumped down from his perch, poised and ready for battle. He unsheathed Tetsusaiga and in a low angry tone that answered all the questioning looks he was receiving from his friends he said,

"Sesshomaru."
