Chapter 1: All moved in

Sitting on the last box while eating an ice cream cone the young ebony beauty with long legs and hair down to her waist, pouty lips, perfect curves and angelic smile, Kagome cheered on her boyfriend to climb the last three steps up the seventeen flights they had already been up. "Go Sesshy-can, go!" she giggled. Her boyfriend, Sesshomaru aka Sesshy-chan or fluffy had beautiful long silver hair down to his waist with bangs that framed his perfect girlish but sophisticated and cold face and icy golden eyes.

He had a cerulean blue crescent moon on his forehead (AN I'm leaving his purple stripes out of this for now. Repeat, for now) and a lithe muscular body that was extremely tall. "Please refrain from shouting so loudly in the hallways, you may disturb the neighbors" Sesshomaru said in his usual cold, bored voice.

Out side his home and with Kagome, Sesshomaru never let his icy demeanor slip to anyone. Not even his own father had seen any other emotion but slight arrogance, though it was always there, just not in the way his HALF-brother flaunted it. "Yay Sesshy, we made it to the apartment again. Lets just get painting and we can officially be all moved in." Kagome clapped, hopping off the box to open the door for Sesshomaru.

The apartment was wonderful. Gigantic windows adorned one wall that was farther out from the rest, giving a beautiful view of Tokyo at a little past noon. The living was absolutely beautiful and big enough to have Sesshomaru's whole company in there, okay maybe one floor. There were beautiful cherry wood floors everywhere and the walls were a light blue. Too blue for Sesshomaru's liking and Kagome's.

All the boxes were set in the middle of the room and covered with a sheet so they wouldn't get dirty. All the furniture was set in one of the tree bedrooms. "Sesshomaru, I don't know how to open a paint can" Kagome admitted after ten minutes of trying, much to Sesshomaru's amusement. He let out a chuckle of laughter which further deflated Kagome's determined ego. "Give it to me." The taiyoukai ordered, outstretching a hand towards Kagome who was resting on the floor. With his elegant claws he cut around the rim of the chocolate colored paint.

The plan for the living room was to have three walls white and one chocolate brown, where the white couch would be placed. Kagome had decided that and was intent on making sure that it stayed that way. "Thank you" Kagome said curtly before standing up and grabbing a brush and and pan to poor paint into. The reason Sesshomaru wanted Kagome to paint the brown wall was because it was the least damaging if she got any paint on the trim around the walls since that was also brown.

Kagome began t paint a large box on the wall and fill it in. "What in the seven hells do you think you're doing?" Sesshomaru asked though he regretted it the minute it left his mouth. "Painting duh"Kagome responded without turning around. "And the box is for...?"

"We should checker the walls instead it'll look more fun"

"We are not making this apartment look like a chess board. I work for an extremely wealthy business with extremely wealthy people. If they came here and saw checkered walls what would they do?"

"Praise my creativity?"

"No. Try faint from seeing so many colors on one wall in a silly pattern. It's the stupidest idea ever"

"If it's so stupid, take this" Kagome laughed as she smeared paint all over Sesshomaru with a roller. He raised an eyebrow before turning back to painting. "You're no fun" Kagome complained. Thats what you think, Sesshomaru thought with a smirk. After about five minutes, Sesshomaru put fresh paint on his roller and quietly walked over to Kagome and painted her hair white.

"Why Kagome, why didn't you tell me you were so old?" He gave a smirk of amusement. Kagome looked at him in utter shock before painting his cheek. He in return painted the top of her chest that her tank top exposed. That turned it into a full blown paint war. With all three colors of paint they looked like a sundae since the third color was strawberry red.

Kagome attacked Sesshomaru and pushed him down to the floor with a brush dripping chocolate brown paint on his cheek and neck. He was laughing so much his sides were beginning to hurt as he fended Kagome off with the strawberry, hitting her bangs and arms the best he could. She was atop of him with his hips straddled and one arm pushed down with her own.

"Now who's silly Sesshy-chan, you look like an ice cream sundae that just melted." Kagome laughed, dropping her brush on a pan of dry paint. "Oh, well I could say the same about you then" Sesshomaru breathed heavily, trying to stop the laughter that flowed from his mouth with so much ease that anyone but Kagome would find hard to believe.

"Mwa." Kagome playfully kissed Sesshomaru's non-paint covered lips. "After we finish and get cleaned up, lets make a real ice cream sundae, it's too hot out there" Kagome compromised with him while rolling over onto her back. "Damn" Sesshomaru mumbled. "What?" Kagome turned her head slightly.

"We got paint all over the floor, I like them" Sesshomaru complained. "I'll get scrubbing and you get painting." Kagome got up and stretched before grabbing a rag from in the box marked rags in Sesshomaru's neat hand writing. Walking to the kitchen she placed soap on it and windex, a strange combination but worked well for the twenty minutes it took to clean the whole god damned living room floor.

In that time Sesshomaru finished painting all four walls and moved onto the dining room with Kagome's help. They were in another paint fight because Kagome said Sesshomaru painted like a girl with three broken nails. The door bell rang before they were even on the floor to ruin the wood yet again. Kagome gave a vengeful look. " I'll be back soon, just you wait there shall be no truce in this war! And I shall be the winner!" Kagome nodded before laughing maniacally.

Upon opening the door she discovered the whole Akuma family standing in the door way. "Uncle Inu!" squealed the twenty-one year old like Sesshomaru's adoptive daughter Rin. Inutaisho returned her embrace without knowing she had wet paint all over her until it was too late and the paint got all over his surprisingly non brand name clothes that he wore for the house work.

"That was a dirty trick Kagome. I'll get you later" He whispered with playful vengeance in his voice. Kagome gave him a look of pure fake horror and went running and squealing into the dining room to hide behind Sesshomaru with wide eyes. Inutaisho came walking in with a roller behind his back like some creepy Freddy movie. "Oh no! Sesshy-chan save me!" Kagome screeched while hiding her face in his back.

Inutaisho soaked the roller in paint before painting one whole side of Kagome who screamed and fell to the ground with her eyes closed and a smile on her face. "Here lies the most cowardly paint war soldier who lived. May she get cleaned up and stop looking like a sundae" Inutaisho dropped a fifty dollar bill on Kagome. She quickly snatched it up and took a paint brush to paint Inutaisho all in strawberry. "Ha! Take that for cowardly." Kagome said triumphantly. Sesshomaru however, sank to his knees and stared at the floor. "Sesshy-chan?" Kagome sat beside him. "You two... Ruined my floor" He said in disbelief.

"You shall pay" he continued while reaching for a discarded brush. Kagome ran away to Inutaisho and hid behind him. He quickly pushed her in front an both continued until they were suddenly covered in chocolate paint. Sesshomaru gave a quiet snicker though his eyes were laughing unmercifully. "Sesshy-chan, I think you need a hug, come give me a hug Fluffy." Kagome opened her arms while walking slowly towards Sesshomaru who was backed into a corner.

Inutaisho joined in and soon Sesshomaru was let go with paint covering him and a slight change in expression from amusement to horror that only Kagome noticed. Inutaisho was the only other person who had seen the amused side of Sesshomaru and even that wasn't full blown laughter like with Kagome. No one but her had ever seen the horrified side though. It was enough to make her laugh uncontrollably.

Inutaisho didn't understand but ended up laughing to at the sight of what looked like a little pig rolling around in mud while snorting. Just then, Inuyasha came walking in to finally see what the commotion was all about. He had boyish features though the same golden eyes and silver hair that both Inutaisho and Sesshomaru possessed. Compared to both of the two older males, Inuyasha was short and had little white ears atop his head.

Kagome looked up and frowned before nudging Sesshomaru in the ribs. He immediately looked forward and his cold ice mask was replaced his horrified expression before hatred filled his eyes.

Kagome seemed to feed off of Sesshomaru's anger and her own icy mask came with stormy blue eyes burning with fury that was greater than Sesshomaru's.

Inutaisho sighed before striding out of the room to find his wife, Sesshomaru's stepmother Izayoi.

"Who the hell told you to come here?" Kagome spoke what Sesshomaru refused to. He felt it beneath him to speak to a dirty half breed that was born out of wedlock. "My dad, who told you to come here?" Inuyasha countered.

"The super of the building, owner of the apartment, and your half brother Sesshomaru, besides the fact that this is my apartment as well"

"Well then, nice to see you Kagome"

"That's Higurashi to you. You no longer have the right to call me by my first name. You lost that privilege four years ago along with my trust."

"Well did I lose my rights to hugs as well?" Inuyasha gave a rugged smile. Normally Kagome would have been in his arms right away, four years ago. This was four years later and she was not a little girl anymore.

"Yes you did. Leave our sight, you're not welcome here" Kagome dismissed him. Sesshomaru was impressed, the last time they saw Inuyasha, about three months ago, Kagome broke down crying at the mere sight of him and they were forced to leave the banquet. Now she spoke with as much venom and little emotion as he would have.

"Sesshomaru, your brother will be staying. We will be having a family dinner together and he will be here, understand?" Inutaisho objected. "Of course, father" Sesshomaru said with a sneer that was barely noticeable. " Come Kagome, we need to prepare for dinner" Sesshomaru ordered her though his gaze was directed at Inuyasha.

"Thats right Kagome, follow your master like a good little puppy should" Inuyasha taunted. She walked up to him and was about to slap him before she looked at Sesshomaru's disapproving stare. It was considered beneath her to talk to him let alone touch him! "You are not even worth a slap from me, I'll let Kikyou take care of whipping your ass" Kagome spat before following Sesshomaru like a wife would in the Sengoku Jidai, two steps behind. Passing the doorway she caught a quick glimpse of Kikyou reapplying her tomato red lipstick. Disgusting she thought.

Stalking into the already fully prepared luxury bathroom, Kagome stripped of her clothes while ranting off to Sesshomaru who simply gave a meager nod of approval. Once she was fully stripped she stepped into the shower and turned on the cold water. It was freezing cold but she was steaming enough to make it warm. Sesshomaru stepped in after her and scrubbed her paint covered back as she continued.

"Can you believe him? Having the nerve to bring that-that-that slut into this household!" She continued while washing her front. "Calm down. It is most unfitting for a lady to rant her anger so openly with company in the house. If you keep a cool facade, your anger won't slip up as well as one who wears a distorted face to a dinner." Sesshomaru sighed.

Kagome sighed deeply and turned to Sesshomaru who was now cleaned of paint but still had specks of it here and there. She began to wash his silky hair that she had always been envious of. He gave a growl or rather a purr of pleasure and pulled Kagome close. "Sesshy-chan, there are guest in the house. It is most dishonorable to have relations in the bathroom let alone while people are here." Kagome used his own wise words against though her voice was full of sultry and made him care less and less as she purred in his ear.

Sesshomaru let her go and rinsed his hair out and began on her own. Kagome's muscles relaxed and she leaned against the shower wall to keep from falling with exhaustion. Her eyes closed and she fell asleep, to the amazement of Sesshomaru. Only my girlfriend can fall asleep in the shower while getting her hair washed he thought with a small smile.

Rinsing her hair and washing her body Sesshomaru began on his own and also began to reminisce on why he hated his brother with a passion.

flashback

Sesshomaru listened outside the door of his parents room while they argued. Though he was only at the tender age of three, he knew almost exactly what they were talking about. Almost.

"Inutaisho, obviously you don't understand the terms demons mate on. We bond for life. Life. As in no cheating and staying faithful!" Sachiko, Sesshomaru's mother scolded. Her voice was shushed as to not wake her beloved son. Too bad he was already awake. "You didn't think I would find out about your little whore did you. Next time, take a shower before coming home." Sachiko snapped.

"Izayoi is not a whore. And it is perfectly normal for silver taiyoukai to have a mistress" Inutaisho insisted. "Then why would you sneak around? Hmm? And as for normal to have a concubine, you sure as hell promised to be loyal to me and now I here you have another son! How dare you betray my trust!" Sachiko snarled.

Sesshomaru began to cry silently. He knew enough about inuyoukai mating to know it was like human marriage and you were supposed to be together and with no one else. Not only had his dad been with someone else he had another son that would steal the attention from him and it made his mom sad and angry.

This was unforgivable in Sesshomaru's opinion.

"You know what Inutaisho, have a good time in fucking hell with your whore and bastard second son. I'm through if you can't be faithful or at least honest" Sachiko ended the argument and stalked out of the room. She bumped into Sesshomaru and knocked him down, he quickly grabbed onto her legs and cried out, "Okaa-san!" Sachiko bent down and kissed his head before picking him up. "Okaa-san has to leave for tonight, I'll be back in the morning so don't worry about me" Sachiko hoarsely whispered into his hair.

"But Okaa-san" Sesshomaru cried into her neck. The last time he showed any weakness was that night. "Shh. I'll be back in the morning" she said before putting a young Sesshomaru down and walking out of the house. For the last time.

In the morning Sesshomaru got up at about nine and ran into his parents bedroom to see if his mother was back. She wasn't. Instead, on her side of the bed lay an ebony haired women next to his father and a baby in a crib that was not there the night before. "Sesshomaru, come here" Inutaisho ordered in his booming voice.

Sesshomaru's face was cold as ice and that worried Inutaisho a bit. "Are you feeling all right?" His father put a hand to Sesshomaru's forehead. Sesshomaru smacked it away and followed the action with a snide reply. "I'm fine father, are you?" those five words dripped with so much venom Inutaisho couldn't believe his keen ears.

"And what is that abomination, father?" Sesshomaru said while pointing to a one year old Inuyasha. "That is your younger brother. Go look" Inutaisho smiled proudly. "The smell is enough to put me to sleep but I shall look anyway" Sesshomaru said with a terribly scary smirk. He was still calm as ever though.

Walking over to the crib he peered down into it at the smelly thing that had wide eyes and dog ears. 'A hanyou.' Sesshomaru sneered at it in disgust. This did not go unnoticed by Inutaisho and the now awake Izayoi. Inuyasha reached up and pulled on the piece of hair that had spilled over Sesshomaru's shoulder. He quickly smacked the hand away and pushed the cribbed over onto the floor.

Izayoi screeched and jumped up to get her baby. "Disgusting filth touching me like that. How dare he?" Sesshomaru snarled at the crying infant. He looked at Izayoi in pure hatred and she looked at him in horror. "Stay out of my way and make sure that disgusting little halfbreed does as well" Sesshomaru threatened before striding out of the room confidently (A"N: Sesshomaru is supposed to be like Stewie from Family Guy right now. Jaken taught him how to read and write which is why he knows such difficult words for a three year old).

"Jaken! Get three guards to guard my room for the time being." Sesshomaru ordered the toad servant. He stepped into his room and began to plot ways to get that filthy little thing out of his house. Ten minutes later the door opened to reveal a scared Izayoi though she had a fake fierce look on that was nothing compared to Sesshomaru's cold gaze. She held Inuyasha who thrashed around.

"Why are you in my room. Did you not notice the three guards out there or did you chose to use that thing as a defense?" Sesshomaru asked without having to watch her poor gaze any longer. Izayoi opened her mouth to speak but Sesshomaru cut her off. "I never said to speak. This is my home, not yours I shall not tolerate you speaking out of turn when I was clearly not finished. Take that loud disgrace out of my presence before there is trouble" Sesshomaru ordered with a flick of his fingers towards the door.

"N-No." Izayoi stuttered. "No? You dare to say no to me try that again and you shall be out on the street with no job. I have more power than you in this situation. Do not challenge me until you are up to my level you human wench" Sesshomaru spat. "You owe myself and Inuyasha an apology. You hurt us both." Izayoi mumbled.

"Oh, I do do I?"

There was no response that time. "Look at me when I speak to you and respond before I have a guard drag you out. "Yes, you do" She said. "Get out of my sight human you are not worthy of my time and your little monster has just caused me a headache. Wait until my father hears of this." Sesshomaru snarled. "He won't believe you"Izayoi challenged.

"D-Demo, I never did anything and you come in here yelling at me." Sesshomaru forced fake tears and his eyes widened to the innocence they held last night. "Try me" he bit out. Izayoi walked out and Sesshomaru followed. "Which of you guards let her in?" Sesshomaru demanded. Two of them pointed to the one in the middle. "Come down to my hight" He ordered. The guard did so. Sesshomaru quickly used his poison claw to slit his throat. "The next to do anything so foolish shall suffer worse than he" Sesshomaru threatened before walking into the room.

End Flashback

That was his first killing. Sesshomaru sighed happily at the memory. It felt good and released his anger in a way he had not known possible. Getting out of the shower with Kagome fumbling around he dried off and got dressed. The two walked out in color coordination. Sesshomaru was wearing a aqua button down dress shirt and black slacks while Kagome was wearing an argyle (A/N: Argyle is the diamond pattern on the shirt or rather sweater vest that nerds or cute girls wear) cotton sweater vest that was aqua with white diamonds and white cotton collar shirt much like Sesshomaru's but short sleeved and a black miniskirt.

"Oh isn't that cute, the nerds want to match for dinner" Kikyou taunted. The couple stayed cool and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner. "Can I please kill her Sesshy-can, please?" Kagome begged. "That would be dishonorable to do in such a household. Ignore her and her karma shall come" Sesshomaru promised while handing some tofu to her to cut into chunks.

Apparently she was in charge of the miso soup and Sesshomaru the rice for right now. While washing the rice, Sesshomaru thought of another reason he hated Inuyasha and his mother.

Flashback

His father was an idiot. Holding a banquet to initiate Izayoi and Inuyasha into the family. Sesshomaru was eight and had the knowledge of the last taiyoukai before his father and them some. Inuyasha was six and could barely remember his own last name. Pathetic. As was Inutaisho. To show so much weakness to one woman who had killed his mother.

Sesshomaru elegantly strode into a group of colleagues he knew from his father's company. The five in that group knew he had a hate for Inuyasha and Izayoi and were certainly not afraid to say so in front of him. Sesshomaru quite enjoyed to belittle them both with what Inutaisho thought to be his friends. So much betrayal served him well.

"Sesshomaru, I'm sure you agree, isn't it just disgraceful to have brought that woman into your honorable family?" One recognized as Kagura whispered. "Absolutely. In my opinion any one who should have a mistress or agree to being a mistress is filth that shouldn't even be acknowledged in a way I do that whore. Especially her bastard son" Sesshomaru said with a held back smile though a slight tilt of his mouth was there.

Everyone noticed and was a little freaked. Inuyasha had crawled into the group though he was on the outside he could hear it all. Sesshomaru knew and continued the conversation. "And lets not forget that Izayoi was Inutaisho's secretary. That whore is probably just a gold-digger looking for some cash. That's probably why Inutaisho took so long to marry her." another that Sesshomaru did not know added in.

"For as long as you work for my father, you shall make her life a living hell there. Shun her and mock her behind her back. You are his trusted colleagues and have been there much longer than her so this slut shall have no power. Now leave me to the monster, he needs to learn not to eaves drop" Sesshomaru said with his piercing gaze at Inuyasha who suddenly started to run away.

Sesshomaru long strides soon caught him up with Inuyasha in the hall of their immaculate home. "Sesshy why do-" "My name is Sesshomaru not 'Sesshy'. Use it. I am not beneath you as you are me. Halfbreed" Sesshomaru interrupted. "Sesshomaru, why do they call our Okaa-san those mean names like whore and slut and gold-digger- what do they mean?" Inuyasha questioned while hugging Sesshomaru's leg. He kicked him off and straightened his pants. "Whore means a woman who sleeps with other women's husbands. A slut is one who does it for money. A gold-digger is a woman who has a child with another woman's husband and takes his money without mercy. And you are the bastard-child who was the result of that woman" Sesshomaru stated.

"Why are you so mean to me Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha cried. "Because you are stupid. At your age I was reading the literature from five hundred years ago. I had the knowledge of our grandfather before our own father. You are stupid, at the age of three you could barely construct a sentence. I was speaking to adults as a college student. And you are a bastard child who shows far too much emotion to people and cries far too much in front of people. Even by your self you should not cry so much. You are the son of the taiyoukai. If I died and you were the only heir left you are not to show emotion. It is considered weak and other taiyoukai shall start wars and you will be instantly killed" Sesshomaru hissed before stalking off.

"And I am not mean. I hate you with a passion in which results curt answers to your stupid questions that match your equally stupid line of thinking" Sesshomaru added before leaving to the private room only he was allowed to that held all his mothers possessions.

End Flashback

Sesshomaru gave a chortle of laughter. It was not a normal kind of funny laugh but a disturbing laugh that one would do after a kill. "Fluffy-chan. What do you find so funny?" Kagome put her hands on her hips. "I was thinking of the time I told Inuyasha he was a bastard child when I was eight and he was six. Then I told him he was stupid because he knew not what the words meant when I did at the age of three. Pathetic, isn't it?" Sesshomaru explained with a dramatic sigh and sadistic smile.

"You are so terribly wonderful, I love you!" Kagome squealed while laughing. "You've been hanging around me far too long. That is so sadistic of you." Sesshomaru played around. "Oh shush and so set the table I'll fix the food, go mingle and see if you can get Kikyou out of here" Kagome pushed him into the doorway that lead to the dining room. The miso soup was done and the rice was boiling. Kagome began to rinse the eel that had been refrigerated since nine that morning.

When the rice was done, Kagome turned on the electric stove and placed the eel on it. She began to reminisce on Inuyasha as well. How much he hurt her.

Flashback

They had been going out for about half a year and life couldn't be better for Kagome. She loved Inuyasha though he didn't trust her as much as he used to. It was probably Sesshomaru's fault for degrading him so much. She walked into their usual café for a cup of coffee though her and and Inuyasha weren't meeting then.

As she walked in she heard a "Oh Inuyasha you are so funny!" Kagome turned to see at the corner table the school slut Kikyou laughing with Inuyasha. He smirked and kissed her soundly on the mouth. Feeling hurt, Kagome quickly ordered her coffee and walked over to the still kissing couple. Her lid wasn't on securely enough to stop the drink from pouring.

"So Inuyasha, is this what you do when we're not together? Cheat with Kinky-ho here?" Kagome interrupted with a hurt expression. "Kagome, it isn't what it looks like" Inuyasha started. "Save it for someone who cares Inuyasha, 'cause I sure don't" And with that Kagome poured the steaming hot coffee on Inuyasha's head, making sure to get his ears.

End Flashback

Sighing, Kagome took the eel off the stove and brought the dish into the dining room. Kikyou was sitting there laughing with Izayoi. She knew very well that Izayoi didn't like her because she poured coffee in Inuyasha's ears and was with Sesshomaru now, which happened about two weeks after her break up with Inuyasha. She felt Kagome was a skank. But she was one to talk with the way Sesshomaru talked about her she had no right.

"Kikyou, very nice seeing you, now bye" Kagome said curtly. "Oh, I don't plan on leaving any time soon. Go fetch me some water now." Kikyou flipped her hair before turning to Inuyasha to make out with him. "Go fetch your own god damned water, at your own god damned house. And we do not tolerate such dishonorable acts in this house." Kagome barely kept her cool demeanor up as she talked to Kikyou.

"And if I don't leave, what happens?" Kikyou crossed her legs, knowing full well Kagome would never shame herself in front of the Akuma family. Or so she thought. Kagome walked around the table and pulled Kikyou's chair out with as sigh. Kagome grabbed her hair and dragged her into the living room, opened the door and then tossed Kikyou out by her hair. "That is what happened when you don't leave" Kagome swiped invisible dust from her hands.

Slamming the door shut, Kagome turned to the gaping mouths in the doorway of the dining room. "So, who wants some salad?" She smiled with a clap of her hands. "You just threw my girlfriend out of here" Inuyasha said in dis belief. "I know, you're welcome to go after her before she falls down a flight of steps chasing her purse" Kagome giggled sweetly.

Just then, the door bell rang. Kagome opened it to see Jaken with a little girl at about four or five standing shyly. "Rin-chan!" Kagome dropped to her knees and hugged the girl tightly. "Sesshomaru strode in as elegant as usual and looked at the girl. His daughter. "Okaa-san! I missed you!" Rin energetically blabbered into Kagome's shoulder.

She looked up and gasped. "Otou-san! I missed you too! Did you miss me?" Rin bubbled as she clinged to his leg. "And you called me a bastard child. Look at that!" Inuyasha hooted with laughter.
