“Why? Why now 'ya bastard?” Inuyasha's voice rang in an angry growl. Tetsuiga held firmly in his white-knuckled fist, pointed straight at the Western Lord.
Defiance etched into every line of his body, his face a mask of suspicion. Inuyasha regarded his brother through narrow eyes; waiting-just waiting until he finally attacked. The bastard had been stealthily following them, hiding his presence. For what reasons? Only he knew that. Until Sesshomaru had deemed it worthy to manifested himself amongst them.
The forest around them fell silent, tension and anticipation filling it's place. Inuyasha's senses perked at the sudden noise coming from behind him, where his companions stood, watching. He could easily pick up the steady rhythm of the monk's calm breathing, taste the anticipation in Shippou's young movements, feel the demon slayer's anxiety. Most of all, he could taste the miko's soothing aura, seeping into his pores, filling him with the calm he needed to keep his head on his shoulders should the ice prince decide to attack.
Sneaky bastard, to come to them, join their mist without even being noticed. That ticked Inuyasha the most, that he had not sensed him, specially when the bastard had been not twenty feet in the wood from them, following parallel to them.
“This Sesshomaru need not explain his actions to the likes of you,” Sesshomaru's voice held an edge to it, as if he knew something the others didn't.
Kagome shifted behind Inuyasha, wishing that Sesshomaru would-for once-give them straight answers. Of course the day that happened-cows would talk and pigs would fly. Rolling her eyes, she stepped before her half demon companion, and placed a placating hand on his white fist.
“I'm sorry if I sound rude, but..” Kagome trailed off, unsure how to proceed, “you've never shown an interest in joining us.”
Kagome's lips pursed, his eyes narrowing to the horizon behind Sesshomaru, “Why now?”
Sesshomaru's stance did not change as he replayed her words in his mind. 'Never shown an interest...' he scoffed at the thought. Why would he, Sesshomaru, show interest in a pack of misplaced mongrels? But he was interested...try as he would to deny his curiosity-he could not. Something about the strange group called to him. He could not recall what had triggered him stalking them. Perhaps it was curiosity of learning their ways and how they operated, how they interacted; or simply the miko amongst their group.
His eyes nor his mind had wandered far from the strange female for months, and he'd vowed to capture that heart of her's until she wanted for nothing more than to reveal every layer of secrets around her, until she wanted nothing more than to be his.
“This Sesshomaru...” never in his life had Sesshomaru spoken before thinking first, yet having the girl's full intensity of her eyes on him caused his mouth to go dry suddenly.
“This Sesshomaru will accompany you and your pack,” he said, not once leaving her eyes. He heard Inuyasha snarl at him and move to block Kagome from his sight. Golden eyes narrowed at the unwelcomed action, and Sesshomaru smirked to himself, knowing his bate had been snatched. Inuyasha's pride would not let him get away with informing the girl-and not him, alpha of their group-of his joining them.
“The hell you are!” Inuyasha shouted. He didn't know why, but there was more to it than what Sesshomaru was letting on. Why now? What had changed? What about his pack? He was sure Sesshomaru had an ulterior motive for joining, and he would find out what it was
Sesshomaru smirked, showing one pearly fang, “You have no say in this mutt.” Sesshomaru turned and walked on forward, fully expecting the group to follow. He could not-and would not, chance having both his little brother and his miko grow closer. After last weeks scene, he's decided it was time to make his move, and secure the woman to his side.
