Inuyasha had come to the point where he just watched from the distance. Kagome was currently peeling an orange, Sesshomaru standing behind her with a curious interest in what she called a 'knife'. It looked different from what they knew, so Inuyasha could relate with his brother...for a change. Both brothers knew of each others' presence, but neither made a move to acknowledge each other.
"The handle is made from plastic," Kagome explained when she noticed Sesshomaru's curiosity.
"Plastic?" Sesshomaru echoed. Never had he heard of such a word.
"It's made from chemicals. Here, touch it." Kagome held out the knife, the handle pointing towards him, allowing Sesshomaru to cautiously touch the foreign item. A blush formed on Kagome's cheeks when Sesshomaru's hand brushed against hers. Their eyes met for several seconds, then Sesshomaru looked away.
"You want some?" Kagome asked, lifting a wedge of orange. Sesshomaru gave her a dark look, but her large smile forced him to take the fruit from her hand.
"Just this once," Sesshomaru made very clear. Kagome nodded.
Inuyasha sighed. His brother had won her affection by a landslide. And he could not stand in their way, no matter how much he wanted to.
