"Stop it!" Kagome yelled, catching the attention of both brothers. "What in the world are you two fighting about? How many times have I told you that you can't do this here?!"

 

The two combatants halted their attacks and turned guilty eyes towards the fuming miko. Sesshoumaru approached her, ready to explain. Pissing off his mate was certainly not on today's to-do list. "The half-breed witnessed this Sesshoumaru at the dog park and is now attempting to extort me to keep his silence."

 

Kagome shot a glare at Inuyasha, who merely shrugged. "What? It was hilarious! You can't expect me to keep that shit to myself, at least not without fair compensation."

 

"Oh, really?" the miko said, her tone devious. "Seeing your brother playing Frisbee was funny?"

 

"Half-brother," the corrected simultaneously.

 

Kagome merely rolled her eyes at their interruption before continuing on. "And you think you have the right to tell everyone about it to try and embarrass him?" Inuyasha nodded and the miko laughed. "How many things have I kept quiet for you, Inuyasha? Do you really want to go there?"

 

Sesshoumaru raised a brow in curiosity. "There are things you are keeping from me, mate?" He closed the small distance between her, pulling her into his arms. "That is simply not allowed."

 

Kagome laughed. "I keep your secrets, Sesshoumaru. What makes you think I would tell you all of his?"

 

"Because I am your mate and he is merely your friend."

 

"He was my friend long before I became your mate. So, Inuyasha, if you think it's fair game to make fun of your brother, maybe I should tell him all the stuff you begged me not to."

 

Inuyasha looked at her in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about, Wench?"

 

"Hmm, how you like to scratch your head with your foot?" The hanyou's cheeks flushed a bright pink and she giggled. "Or maybe how when no one's around, you like for me to throw a stick for you to fetch?"

 

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened comically as Inuyasha began to sputter denials. "So, little brother, I see canine tendencies still run strong in your diluted blood."

 

"Yup," Kagome said with a bright smile. "Playing puppy dog runs in the family!"
