A Jealous Dog

                                    

                                          
It had been two days since the Inutachi group including Sakumo had left the village where they defeated the oni and helped repair it. During that time, Kagome and Sakumo were talking about Kagome's birth era. Sakumo was very curious about it. He would often say that there are a few things in Kagome's era also existed in his world as well. The whole time this was going on, Inuyasha was getting very, very aggravated. He didn't like how friendly Kagome was acting towards Sakumo. Actually, his whole pack was acting the same way. He couldn't figure out what makes this guy so special. What did Sakumo have that made everyone like him so easily? It didn't make any sense to him.

                          
"Hey, Sakumo." Kagome said.
                          
"Hai?" Sakumo asked.
                          
"When I go back to the well to get some supplies, do you want to come with me and see my era?" Kagome asked.
                          
"Sure, I would love to." Sakumo replied with a closed eye smile.
                          
"NO!!" Inuyasha shouted. Everyone stopped in their steps at his outburst.
                          
"What do you mean 'no', Inuyasha?" Kagome questioned, brow arched.
                          
"He's not allowed to go!" Inuyasha angrily yelled.
                          
"You're not the boss of him, Inuyasha. I invited him. You don't have any say in it." Kagome retorted. Inuyasha's face started to turn angry red. 
                          
"Why don't you shut up?!" Inuyasha shouted as his hand was about to slap Kagome's cheek. But someone grabbed his wrist. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw that Sakumo had stopped Inuyasha from slapping Kagome.
                          
"You shouldn't hurt your pack members, Inuyasha." Sakumo said, tightening his hold on Inuyasha's wrist. 
                          
"What's to you?" Inuyasha questioned.
                          
"I thought that the leader of the pack respects and care for one another. You're showing the opposite for your pack." Sakumo stated.
                          
"Why do you care? You're not part of my pack." Inuyasha retorted.
                          
"Well, Kagome said that I am." Sakumo confirmed. Inuyasha pulled his hand away from Sakumo's grip.
                          
"Stop preaching me as if you're my father!" Inuyasha shouted, angrily.
                          
"I'm just saying, Inuyasha." Sakumo reasoned.
                          
"How about we rest for a moment?" Miroku asked, trying to break the argument between the two.
                          
"Great idea, Miroku!" Sango agreed.

The group found a nice spot to rest. Kagome handed everyone out some snacks. But Inuyasha snatched the bag of chips away from Shippo. 
                          
"No fair, Inuyasha!" Shippo whined.
                          
"Sorry, these are mine." Inuyasha smirked.
                          
"You said that last time! Why do you keep taking the chips away from me?!" Shippo yelled. 
                          
"I'm bigger than you. So I need more energy." Inuyasha stated. Then he soon felt emptiness in his hands. He gazed at Shippo and saw Sakumo give the bag of chips to Shippo.
                          
"Here you go, Shippo-kun." Sakumo said. Inuyasha frowned at the loss of the chips.
                          
"Thank you, Sakumo-san!" Shippo said, smiling. He opened the bag of chips with eagerness.
                          
"Here, Sakumo." Kagome said as she handed the canned tea to Sakumo.
                          
"Thanks, Kagome." Sakumo said, accepting the tea.
