Why is it so?
"Courtesy! Fucking common courtesy! That's what!" I screamed at him, emphasising my point with my animated hands.
"I am always nice to you!" He yelled back. "I've never hit you!"
"Courtesy is not the same thing as being nice. Nice means pleasant. Courtesy means having good manners! I'm tired of feeling unappreciated! I'm sorry, but I can't do this right now," I said and since the tears were forming in the corners of my eyes I started grabbing my coat and iPod.
"So you don't love me anymore?" Inuyasha growled while coming to stand in front of me. "Is that what this means?"
"See! That's what I mean! You think that after all the things that I've done for you that I don't love you? I don't believe you!" I screamed at him and went outside, slamming the door. 'He couldn't be that stupid! But if he's hurting me so much why do I still love him,' I thought, whispering the last part. I pulled on my jacket and started walking down the street.
'What's her problem?' Inuyasha thought on the other side of the door. 'Courtesy, feh. I'm always nice to her. I don't know what else she wants! Kikyou never acted like this. Then again, Kikyou didn't act like anything. What does she want?' He sat down on the couch, thinking about what he had done wrong, holding his head between his heads. Finally giving up, he turned on his playstation and started playing a game.

"Ya!" Inuyasha growled into his cell phone while answering it.
On the other line a taken back Mirouku sighed. "What's wrong with you? Didn't eat enough ramen today?"
"No! I mean yes! I mean that's not what I'm mad about!" Inuyasha stumbled. Why did everyone have to be so difficult tonight?
"Oh, well what's up?" Mirouku dutifully asked.
"None of your business!" Inuyasha said, and hung up on Mirouku, slamming the phone shut.
"What the hell is his problem," Mirouku wondered on the opposite side of the phone.
"Stupid people, always wanting to know my business," Inuyasha said aloud. He wasn't really mad at Mirouku. Or Kagome. He was just confused, and when he was confused he was frustrated. He'd call them both and apologize tomorrow. He laid back down on the couch, arm slung over his eyes.
Kagome looked up and down the street, keeping an update of her surroudings. While it was a normal neighborhood she was still on alert. She normally didn't like to be out this late at night at all unless she was with someone. But since Inuyasha and her were fighting there really wasn't any other place to go. Well maybe if she had remembered car keys.
"Alone?" said a soft voice.
Kagome spun around, startled and immediately on alert.
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome squealed.
"You know, you shouldn't be out this late. It's dangerous," Sesshomaru stated. He was wearing a dark leather coat and gloves with a bright red scarf around his neck.
"Well you're out here, aren't you?" Kagome said.
"Yes, but when you're a danger it's sorta your duty," He said with a glint of humor in his eyes.
"Yeah, right," Kagome said, not sure if Sesshomaru was joking or not. Probably not considering his cold personality. And if he wasn't...the thoughts made her shudder of what a danger he could be.
She looked up at him, taking in all his features. His frozen eyes were actually looking warm and honeylike. His long white hair was pulled back in a low ponytail. And his normal indifferent mask that he wore on his face wasn't there. He was smiling at her, like he did it quite often. He was like Inuyasha except for the facts that he was taller and that he had his demon marks on his cheeks. He was handsome, Kagome had no qualms stating the obvious to herself.
"What were you listening to?" he asked.
"Huh?" Kagome was thrown off. She was listening to him, duh. Or since she said 'Huh' maybe not.
"You're iPod. It's hanging off of your sweater," he stated simply while pointing at the earphone cords sticking out.
"Oh. 'Who knew' by Pink," She answered. She slipped the headphone out of her left ear and turned the iPod off and slipped it into her jacket pocket.
"Hm, Pink? That's an unusual name," Sesshomaru stated.
Kagome couldn't stop herself from giggling. Sometimes Sesshomaru was just so...old!
Raising an eyebrow at her however made her cease the action immediately. "Come. I will walk you home." He offered.
"I'm not going home. I-I can't. Not right now," Kagome said.
"Why not?" Sesshomaru inquired. He didn't even sound like he was asking a question, almost like he was stating a fact he didn't know? Kagome was making no sense in her brain but she had the right not to. Fighting and breaking up with Inuyasha and now his brother whom he hadn't talked to in sometime showing up on their street and offering to take care of her? This night was making absoltuely no sense.
"I got into a fight with Inuyasha," she murmured while pulling her wavy black hair behind each of her ears.
'It figures,' Sesshomaru thought. 'He doesn't appreciate her enough. Staying home for him, giving up her friends, her job, her parents. Basically her life for him. But I've never one seen him appreciate her.'
'Why is he staring at me?' Kagome thought, starting to get weirded out. With the stories she had heard of his demeanor she wasn't going to rule out the possibility that he might just devour her right now. She better snap him out of it. "Are you okay Sesshomaru?" she asked, raising her own eyebrow at him.
"Yes. Well, if you're not going home then where are you going?" he asked, hoping that she didn't have an answer. It would make things even easier on him, and the less effort he wasted on her the better.
"I don't know. I guess my friend Sango's….." her voice trailed off as she ran through a list of possible couch crashing locations in her mind.
"It is too late to wake her," Sesshomaru said.
"I guess that's true, but I think she'd understand," Kagome said, not knowing where he was going. Sango could very well be at Mirouku's house, who was her other option that she would be lost of.
He stood standing tall above her, his eyes boring over her wavy black hair and small figure as she kept her eyes on the sidewalk below them. "Well instead of that you will retire at my house," Sesshomaru offered.
Kagome's face immmediately contorting into extreme confusion. 'Sesshomaru wants me to go with him? I don't know. I don't feel like getting killed tonight by him because I tracked dirt on the carpet. Or breathed on his vase wrong,' Kagome thought.
"I don't know Sesshomaru…" Kagome trembled out, biting on her lower lip hesitantly. She didn't want to go but who had ever turned Sesshomaru down?
"It will be easier than waking your friend, and I'm already here," Sesshomaru explained. "Also, I am your future brother in law so it is my duty to make sure you're safe and sound for the night."
"Well...I guess. I-I mean, I don't want to put you out or anything," Kagome stuttered. "You sure I won't be a burden or intruding?"
"If you were would I really have asked?" Sesshomaru said while looking at her almost degradingly for asking such a silly question.
"I guess not," Kagome said through gritted teeth, feeling stupid. 'Why is he being so nice? He usual calls me Inuyasha's bitch or Inuyasha's wench or something,' Kagome thought. 'Since Inuyasha had a falling out with his brother I'm sure this is just a great idea.'
Sesshomaru walked, more like push/dragged in her opinion, Kagome towards his Mercedes that was parked much further down the street.
Sesshomaru opened the door for Kagome and waited for her to enter. 'Oh Inuyasha, you shouldn't have crossed me little brother. I'm going to make you pay by taking what you hold dear,' he thought, closing the door for Kagome as she slid into the passengers side. He smiled, 'Oh you are in for a ride Kagome.' He didn't know the trouble that she would bring with her into his life.
(Or, what he calls trouble anyways. Some of us know it as love.)
