Well, might as well post on this site too.
I hope you like drabbles...hopefully review them too...because this story will be pretty long. About fifty chapters of two drabbles/one shot each. (snort Long...yeah right)
Hope you enjoy!

Disblaimer: No one is mine!
Warning: Uhm, Sesshoumaru is pretty much a pervert. And Inuyasha bashing...a bit too literally and not at all like you expect it. I like those cute puppy ears too much!

Amber Lining - Theme #46, Encounter
This was definitely the best hotel he had seen in a long time. A shining example of class and elegance like few of the places he had had the pleasure of seeing in his extensive trips around the world.
Not over the roof, not sub-par...
It was probably the work of some stuck-up bastard who thought himself ruler of the world. Inuyasha had to admit though that he liked the pale lights reflected on the walls and the red, velvet carpets that complemented the leather couches so well. And perhaps the intricately built fountain just a few feet away...
"Are you going to stare all day long or are we getting rooms already?"
"Keh. Eager to get the pervert all to yourself or something?"
Miroku glowed with innocence.
His secretary rolled her eyes and shortly threatened him with bodily harm that not even Kikyou would be able to undo afterward. Inuyasha - grudgingly - acquiesced defeat when Sango mentioned the painful loss of some very important part of his anatomy that wouldn't allow him have children. Probably for the next two hundred years or so until his demon blood recuperated.
It was overrated but sure as hell worked.
So...checking in it wa - whoa! Speaking of high placed bastards, here came one who had probably won the gold or something.
Inuyasha leaned his elbows on the counter, ignoring the startled look of the receptionist, and blatantly stared at the couple that had just stepped in the loge. Graceful and complementary at once, dark and light but obviously with switched personalities.
The man - scratch that, youkai - was definitely the owner of this place...if one noticed how everyone stopped and respectfully bowed to him. He looked just almost similar to him but without the ears and definitely with an added icicle up his ass.
Snort. He probably thought himself high and mighty for having the looks - stupid, girlish, pretty white hair and amber eyes - the money and the lively, beautiful woman with blue eyes walking by his side. Which, by the way, was either a gold digger or blind.
For sure that no one wanted to be with - his ears perked at the murmurings of guests and employees alike - this Sesshoumaru Taisho character for the laughs.

"We shouldn't really be doing this here - uhm!"
They shouldn't...but for once Kagome was glad that he rarely listened to her in such situations. The jacket fell to her elbows and he undid the first two buttons of her white shirt to nibble at her collarbone.
"Thirty floors to go still," a murmur, a growl, "and the only stop is to our penthouse. We have time..."
"If this weren't out personal elevator," she laughingly nipped at his pointed ear, blowing a puff of air just to feel him shudder in delight, "I would've been so embarrassed. I swear...I think you only married me so that you could have an excuse to legally to push me up against the nearest wall when the mood strikes you."
"Hn." That was a very satisfied 'hn' in her opinion. Kagome swallowed when he carelessly mimicked the way he had undressed her only a few moments earlier...saffron eyes hooded and oh so terribly amused.
"Let us test that theory, shall we? I wish to refresh my memory."
The black tie hung from his fingers as an unspoken promise.
If that meant what she thought it meant, then Kagome was all for that!

Show of Strength - Theme #43, Pride
Kote - Hand protection
Do - Chest and abdomen guard
Shinai - Bamboo practice sword
"I'd wish you good luck, but I already know that you're going to decimate the opposition even without it." Men and their pride - what could a woman do but sit and cheer from the sidelines?
"Hn. They chose to enter the competition."
"Would you please stop fussing?" She pouted, fumbling with the knots of his do, trying her best to tie the stubborn piece of cloth securely, "You're not making this any easier for me."
"It was you who offered your assistance in the first place." Sesshoumaru replied with a derogatory lift of his eyebrow...in turn, tightening the kote so that they wouldn't fall of his hands in the throes of defeating the enemies.
Kendo competition or not, Kagome was already feeling sorry for the poor creatures that would soon become floor scrubbers. Her boyfriend tended to be a little extreme at times - taking kenjutsu as seriously as he took his college studies.
And that was saying an awful lot.
"Hmph. Is that any way to treat a defenseless, delicate creature like me?" A rakish smile and a fleeting glance from her famous puppy eyes, "I bruise easily you know."
Like expected, Sesshoumaru's upper lip curled to reveal a hint of fang and his eyes slanted in annoyance. "Do not mention the words of that clingy wolf in my presence. I might just be persuaded to send him to the infirmary."
Kagome sighed, feeling gleeful about finally tying the ties, and raised herself on her tiptoes to kiss him apologetically. Kouga had insisted on making her his girlfriend ever since that - third, not first - time they had met during her freshman year. He had this quirky way with wooing sometimes...and Sesshoumaru often contemplated, out loud when he was with her mostly, ripping the mangy mutt's tongue for insolence.
Okay, so her two year long boyfriend wasn't what you could call flowery or overly sensitive of a person's feelings. It was just that she had learned to see his good points - maybe she had squinted a bit in the beginning but...
"Hey, hey! This is a locker room, not a kissing booth! Sesshoumaru, you bastard, stop smooching my best friend. The competition is about to begin and this is disturbing dammit!"
Inuyasha also had this considerate way of speaking to people. Sibling rivalry was always pleasant, but in this case Kagome was quite aware that someone could end up with one arm less. Taisho brothers...such children sometimes.
"You have five seconds to turn back and walk out that door, little brother."
"I never listened to you, not going to start now."
"Inuyasha! Didn't your mother ever teach you to knock first?"
"No, but she did teach me to take pictures when I see some weird happening of nature in motion. I'm sorry to disappoint her but I don't have my camera with me."
Not even Inuyasha could dodge the shinai - thrown accidentally of course! - that came wheezing his way and hit him in the forehead...knocking him unconscious on impact.
Kagome fumed and struggled against the idea of committing murder.
Sesshoumaru smirked and repressed a chuckle.
For once in his life, he actually found himself agreeing with his moron of a brother.
It was such a pity that a camera was unavailable at the moment...for posterity's sake of course.

Yeah...I failed to warn you about insanity issues. I'm a bit of a quack sometimes. Inuyasha got a very thorough bashing!
laughs I hope you like these!
