Summary: Kagome couldn't believe he was actually competing with her.
Naraku’s demons flanked them from all angles, and tensions soared as they all fought through the miasma against Naraku. Through the thick smoke, Kagome fired spiritual arrows and dodged sparse demons, only to be separated by a wall of youki with Sesshoumaru. She could hear Inuyasha’s voice nearby, but her eyes were focused at the current task.
As they fought along, Kagome started to notice with much annoyance how Sesshoumaru would outnumber her in kills toward Naraku’s tentacles. She’d expected it anyway, but she immediately sensed the competitive streak Inuyasha’s brother had. It was subtle yet noticeable, so she felt slightly ridiculous that he would act that way toward her.
She knocked off another demon and in a moment of reprieve said, “You know, this isn’t a competition.”
Kagome almost regretted the words coming from her mouth, but instead of turning around to lop her head off too, Sesshoumaru gave her a strange look of - mild amusement? His one eyebrow rose for almost a second before he knocked off a few more youkai.
She felt silly as he continued without offense, and she imagined a scoreboard of kills behind them: Sesshoumaru 500 billion | Kagome 10. She stepped out of her distracted thoughts as Sesshoumaru smoothly handled a near miss with a weak demon behind her.
She narrowed her eyes. “Showoff,” she grumped, and the amusement was back in his eyes.
Their adrenaline remained high because of the continuing battle, but Kagome felt the air between them become oddly lighter.
