Mr Brightside

SUMMARY~Unrequited love is always difficult. Especially when she's in love with your brother. AU. Sesshoumaru/Kagome.
DISCLAIMER~The rights to Inuyasha reside with Takahashi Rumiko and I receive no financial gain from the writing of this story.
AN~Originally written under 'RavenSilverKat'.
This was inspired by the song of the same name by The Killers, and so each chapter title is a lyric of the song in order. I became inspired during a boring day at work and so I wrote it there, and typed it out when I got home. This is my first multi-chapter story, and though the chapters will be short, I hope you enjoy.
01 I'm Coming Out of My Cage and I've Been Doing Just Fin
Gold eyes scanned the crowded club, searching for a female to meet his requirements as clawed fingers tilted harsh liquor down his throat. Placing the glass on the bar, he thought he saw her face in the crowd and he surged to his feet, feeling that he would let her down if she saw him in such an establishment. But then the woman turned to face him fully and he felt both relieved and disappointed that it wasn't her as he sunk back into his seat.
Another spark caught his eye: short, red hair and an angry personality. A fire elemental. Nothing like her. Perfect. He threaded his way through the crowd, males and females alike parting before him. He honed in on his target for the night who, once she realized she was to be his entertainment for the evening, dropped everything and began to slink his way. When eye contact was made, it was no effort to get the female to quickly leave the club and follow him home. There was no foreplay in the foyer, stairs, or hallway, but as soon as the door was closed, he was upon her. The next hour was devoid of anything that could be called "making love", and it was indeed a true rut, full of nothing but intense, glorified (on her part), hollow (on his part), lust.
When the frenzy subsided, the pair were laying the wrong way on the massive bed dominating the room. The elemental was panting, thoroughly satiated, while the stoic inu was calm and breathing normally in spite of his recent activities. The female rolled onto her side, propping up her head with one hand while the other lay itself gently on the smooth, hard chest of her most recent lover. As soon as her hand touched his skin, her wrist was caught up in steely, acidic claws and she cried out in surprise, pain, and fear.
"Do not touch me, filth," the smooth baritone calmly over-powered her pained whimpers. "Leave at once, or be thrown out." The female hastily scampered around the room, gathering her things and shooting out of the room still naked. He lay on the bed for several long minutes before getting up, moving much like an old man as he dressed, then moved from the guest room he only used for rutting to his own room which he refused to defile with another female's presence. He immediately glided into the bathroom to scrub all evidence of the night's rutting from his skin. Though he had called the female filth, he felt filthy himself but he needed to try to get her off of his mind, and he frequently used other females to try to do so. Not that it worked.
Naked, he migrated back to his bedroom and kneeled in front of a stand, topped only with a single picture in a simple frame. He gently traced the lines of the frames occupants with his claws, careful not to cut the glass as the great sadness that was stored within his heart swelled up within him. As the sadness swelled, his Beast howled its sadness within his mind and Sesshoumaru closed his eyes against the pain.
'Kagome.'
