KnightOfLelouch: I've decided to rewrite the entire story. I felt like I went completely off plan so forget everything you read in this story.

Okay I'm only going to say this once, I don't own anything from Inuyasha, so noe one can sue me!

When You Lay With Dogs: Chapter; Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

The clock ticked idly by, one minute after another, as two males sat in the large and colorfully painted waiting room. The only sounds that could be heard were the scraping of pen against paper as the desk clerk scribbled various notes and typed on her computer each small tap seemed amplified by the silence in the room.

The two males in the waiting room sat on the large purple couch waiting for their appointment; the larger of the males was patiently reading a book. His calm, yet stony golden amber eyes scanned through the light novel. The smaller of the two sat next to the other, clawed figures tapping against the leather like fabric of the large couch, as a bored and tired expression plastered his face.

Similar amber eyes took bold looks over at the other, who read his book without a care in the world. He wanted to say something to the other, but found the words stuck in his throat, unable to form a sentence that would get him out of the situation he was currently in.

"The doctor will see you now" the desk clerk said, putting the telephone down, before returning to her paper work. The larger of the males was the first to get up, tucking the book under his shoulders. Not waiting for the other male, the silver headed male began walking toward the doctor's office with the other male right behind him.

The short walk was quiet and awkward and seemed to last forever, soon they were both standing in front of a large yellow door, the star shaped sign with a number 4. As he prepared to turn the handle, the other final worked up the nerve to speak.

"Why?" it was simple, but the other seemed to know the meaning behind it, without even a small acknowledgment, the older male turned the handle opening the door walking in. With a long sigh, the other begrudgingly followed behind him shutting the door behind him.

The other male was already sitting on a large chair located near a large window with yellow stars on the drapes. Amber eyes search vainly for any signs of attention, but found it useless as the others starred away from the other.

Suddenly the door burst open, shocking the other male who looked at the new person in the room, "Again, stay away from lunch, I told you I don't eat sweets you bubblegum haired idiot!", the other yelled before shutting the door. Turning around yellow eyes stared at the two males sitting in her office, with a deep sigh the short female made her way to the decorated desk.

After taking a seat she stared back and forth between the two males, "Hello, I am Dr. Lynx, Marriage Counselor and Therapist" she said placing a pair of glasses on her face, "Now then you must be….Sesshomaru and Inuyasha" she said earning a nod from the larger male, Sesshomaru.

She nodded taking a glance at her chart before looking back at them, "According to my chart, you've been married for 5 years" she said earning another nod, "And it also says you're in the midst of divorce proceedings" again she received a single nod from the icy male before letting out a long sigh.

"Okay, let me be the first to say this, my office is the 4rth of five specifically trained doctors who handle the most difficult cases" she said looking at the two, "You both are in the yellow, this is the critical spot before you leap into the red and in the pink and once you're in the pink, there is no going back" she was stern her voice was specific causing a stir in the younger of the two.

"Isn't this a bit over the top" Inuyasha spoke up earning a stern glare like stare from the other, " Over the top huh, tell me do you know exactly what brought you here?" she asked looking at the rebellious male in front of her.

"Well…you see…" he mumbled trying to find the right words to say

"Let's take a look shall we" she began looking through her note pad, "I've got communication problems, excessive fighting, as well as multiple adulterous behavior by spousal member" she read off the list of problems.

The two remained quiet as she continued to read off a list of 'problems' she believed was straining and choking their marriage to death.

"Anyway, for the first part of the session I want you both to tell me what you believe killed your marriage and brought you here" she said readying her pad and pen to take down notes.

"Okay Sesshomaru you first" pointing the pin at the calm male you cleared his throat, folding his leg over, "Inuyasha is an over-grown child, I'm constantly having to pick up after his messes and I'm sick of it. He's rude, his disobeys even the smallest request, and to top the list he's a whore and ultimately the one who has destroyed this marriage" he stated as the blond haired female wrote down her notes, as the other stared a gap at the others statement about him.

"Now wait just one damn minute!" Inuyasha raised his face

"No you wait one damn minute until it's your time to speak!" she yelled making his ears flatten on his head, "Continue"

"As I was saying, Inuyasha is the single reason we're getting the divorce in the first place. His constant cheating and adulterous behavior has caused me nothing but stress and embarrassment." He stated earning a look from the doctor who wrote more notes down.

"Okay now it's your turn Inuyasha" she said

"Finally, listen I understand that we have some problems, but I don't think it's anything we need therapy over" he said folding his arms

"Problems don't even begin to scratch the surface off how dead this marriage is, hell I don't believe there's a marriage to even save now" Sesshomaru mumbled

"Listen you two I'm going to give you this straight, after reading this file, I have to say this case needs to be attacked immediately!" she yelled, "Now do you want to save your marriage or not!" she slammed her hands on the desk surprising the two, "Well do you!" both males nodded their heads.

"Good, now let me say that this will not be easy, I'm not one of those pansy, coddling, people whose gonna tell you to talk your feelings. No!, the time for that is gone, now is the time for a full frontal assault!" she slammed her hands on the desk again causing a crack to surface on the wood.

"Now, I believe the best way to even out the enemy is to attack it with the same amount of force" she looked at Inuyasha

"How many?" she stared at Inuyasha who gave her a confusing look, "Oh for the love of…how many people did you have sex with behind your partners back" the statement sent a scowl over Sesshomaru's face and Inuyasha's as well, though both were entirely different in orientation.

Inuyasha sat firm and still in the large chair, his eyes focused on his lap, "Inuyasha if you wanna save this marriage, you have to admit your wrongs" she scolded him.

"Four" a voice said but it was not Inuyasha's, both parties looked over to the once quiet male, "Sessh?"

"Last time I counted it was four, 'he' has been with four different males over the time we've been married" he said as calmly as possible though you could still feel the venom in his words as he glared over at the inu-half demon who looked over shockingly at his husband.

"Thank you, but seriously in order to pave this out, Sesshomaru I want you to sleep with four different people, male or female, I don't care" she stated

Inuyasha jaw dropped at the so called doctor's orders and couldn't believe what he was hearing; she really wanted his husband to have sex with another person.

"Are you serious?" Inuyasha bite out trying very hard not to lunge at the blond female, "Very! In order to reconcile in this stage in a decomposition of a relationship, the person most at fault has to feel what the other is feeling" she stated, but Inuyasha still looked at her like she was crazy.

"Inuyasha may not want to come to fact that you hurt Sesshomaru bad, you played with fire now prepared to get burned. As sure as the sky is blue, your husband is going to screw four random people and you are going to be happy about it" she said

"And again you crazy blond haired, bitchy dwarf, I not going to let my husband fuck some whore!" Inuyasha yelled

"Oh so now you care what he thinks, what about when you were fucking some random males, Huh?, where was your loyalty then, now shut the hell up and don't speak until I say!" she yelled as both parties glared at each other, electricity sparking between them.

Sesshomaru cleared his throat bringing their attention to the other male, "I'll do it" he said earning a shocked look from Inuyasha and a grin from the therapist.

"Sesshomaru…you…you can't be serious" he stammered thinking that his husband had to be joking

"Yes, I am. I think it's actually rational" he said as Inuyasha just gapped at his husband's willingness to allow this to happen.

"Alright then it's settled" she said writing down in her note pad, "Alright then before we end this session I'm giving you both homework, I want you to make a list" she said

"A list?"

"Yes this list is a written or typed statement of why you both got married. What made you fall in love with one another" she said and the two glanced at each other, "Alright I see you both next weekend" she said dismissing the two who promptly left her office.

The silence in the room was deadly and the atmosphere even thicker, neither male had even spoken to each other since arriving from the therapist office. Well, Inuyasha did, but only to spew deadly curses at and about the blond haired therapist that had told his husband to have four different affairs and for him to be happy about it, she clearly had too much bleach on the brain if she believed he was going to sit back and allow that to happen she had another thing coming.

"I can't believe that damn, blond-haired, dwarf!" Inuyasha began mumbling a series of profanities, each one more the other. After tucking the car key's into his pocket of his pants the cool, amber-eyed male made his way into the living room ignoring the calls of the other as he left from the kitchen.

"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha looking over just in time see his husband's hair and part of his back as he made his way out of the room. As he was about to follow, his movements stopped thinking he should give him some space, but the other part told him to talk to him and try to get him to forgive him. Though if any of it worked he would be forgiven already and wouldn't be in the middle of pre-divorce. Walking into the living room he heard the sound of footsteps taping against oak before the sound of a door open and shut.

Sadly Inuyasha made his way over to the large, ocean blue couch that rested in the middle of the elegant room. In truth Inuyasha had a good life; he didn't need to work because his husband's job paid for everything and then some. Many people would kill for a life like he had and a husband like he had. Leaning over he rested his on the armrest, his arms folded over each other as he rested his chin down, his eyes moving slowly over trying to find something to occupy his thoughts.

Looking over his eyes lay on a picture frame that rested peacefully on top the mantle surrounded in a gold frame. Rising from his spot on the sofa, Inuyasha walked over toward the mantle, his somber eyes which looked over the array of photographs and frames scattered across the smooth mantel, his eyes looked at each, everyone holding a story to them. Vacations, parties, random outings and dates over the years that he and Sesshomaru shared.

Grabbing the one that had caught his eye the first time, seated in the middle, made those somber eyes become downtrodden. Sitting back in his spot on the sofa, he continued to look at the same photo memories of that day circling through his head…

5 years ago…

"Tell again how you got me to wear this" he gave an aggravated sigh looking over himself in the full-body mirror. He was currently wearing a beautiful, long and extravagant white wedding dress that made him, to his dismay, look like a princess.

"Inuyasha you look fine" his friend and bridesmaid said, well since he was male he was more of a brides-man or whatever they called it, "Besides it suites you" he smiled earning Inuyasha's eye brow to twitch angrily at the dark haired male.

As much as he hated to admit it, but he was right. Ever since Inuyasha was small he had the unfortunate luck to maintain a feminine figure, don't get him wrong he wasn't small and thin, no his petit figure and round face made him a unknowing target for unwanted attention for any human or demon male who just so happened to come near him. Unfortunately, for them he knew how to defend and quickly beat the living hell out of anyone that tried to put their perverted hands on him.

Though it wasn't all bad, there was always one person who even though was just as bad as the others, he actually wanted the others affection. He was strong and intelligent with an icy cold stare that would make hell freeze over. He was always there for him and protected him, even when he didn't need him.

"Inuyasha hurry up its almost time!" a voice called out from the door, "Sorry Ms. Sango we were just heading out" the dark haired male said waiving toward the irritated looking female, "And may I say you look absolutely stunning today Sango. That dress does absolutely no justice to your curvy physic" the black haired male complemented smiling as he placed his hand on Sango's rear end only to receive a swift and furious back hand from the furious female, "Miroku you perverted jerk!" she yelled as Miroku rubbed his aching cheek.

'He never learns' Inuyasha thought watching the inevitable scene play out

"Now Ms. Sango calm down, it was a slip of hand" he gulped backing up as a fired up female motioned slowly toward him. "Sango please calm down, your ruin the dress it's a wedding ahhhh!" he screamed as Sango grabbed him by his tux and threw him into the hall with a large thump.

"We'll be waiting for you in the church" she said taking a deep breath before turning and giving him a smile, "Again congratulations Inuyasha" she said before walking back out into the hall closing the door softly.

Turning back to the mirror, Inuyasha looked at himself again, a smile playing across his face as a short laugh escaped his lips. It was finally the day…

His wedding day…

Sesshomaru sat at his desk in his room, the only sound that could be heard was the rythmatic ticking of the clock that sat on the far end of the desk. Pulling the wooden clock towards him he eyes scanned the time: it was now 8:40. He had been sitting there for at least 6 hours now, with a low groan he removed himself from the desk only to sit himself down on the bed. Placing his forehead against his folded hands, the room remained silent as Sesshomaru contemplated a variety of thoughts within his head.

Sitting up he looked to his fingers as the entwined in and out of each other, before his focus locked on the golden bad wrapped around his finger. Clasping the shining metal between his fingers he slowly pulled the ring off, holding it ever so delicately.

Using a free hand Sesshomaru reached into the draw next to his bed, reaching inside he pulled out a small black book. Looking back and forth between the two, the youkia was now caught in a mental and martial circumstance.

On one hand, it was his marriage, the marriage he had been in for over 5 years in, a marriage he had dreamed about since he first laid eyes on the silver haired beauty downstairs, a marriage he treasured with every fiber of his being.

Then on the other hand, was his address book and a list of various 'single' women and men he knew and there were a lot. As vain as it sounded his handsome features and powerful status made him a very noticeable and wanted mate to others demons and humans. But in truth he didn't care about status, not looks or money all he wanted was someone to love him for him. Someone he could protect and love and spend the rest of his long natural, well supernatural life with.

He thought he had found that someone

What should he do, should he just try and fix his broken marriage and dig very deep to forgive the hanyou downstairs…again, or should he commit to the therapist ruling an 'eye for an eye' as he put it and sleep with 4 random people.

But would it truly be far, with sleeping with someone else really fix the problem or would it just incinerate what is already burning. He wanted to save this marriage, he wanted so badly to forgive his wife, he wanted things to be back the way they were, he just couldn't. Deep down he couldn't bring himself to forgive Inuyasha, he just couldn't. Everytime he looked at him he saw him, them, the ones he slept with, who he let touch and kiss what was supposed to be his and his alone.

He wanted him to feel the pain he felt all the days he waited up for him to come home. All the times he wanted to ask Inuyasha about the new jewelry and clothes he would bring home, but how he could never find the charges anywhere on their bank statements. And every moment he knew where Inuyasha was when he didn't come home at night and would sneak in with the excuse that he was with his friends, like he didn't call his friends.

Placing the book and the ring back on his desk, he slowly fell back onto the bed below, his haired splayed out like a silver halo as he stared impassively at the ceiling, 'what should he do?', various questions, with no answer in sight. He closed his eyes and began to focus, digging deep into his self-conscious to pull out answer when suddenly a thought came to mind…

Slowly rising up, an evil smirk played across his face and as every knew when the demon lord smiled bad things were surely to come and god helped the poor bastard on the other end of that train wreck.

Grabbing his book, Sesshomaru walked confidently over to the large oak desk pulling out his cell phone and turning the book to a specific page his finger scanned down and stopped at a specific and perfect number. Slim fingers gracefully pressed the numbers into the phone as the phone began to ring before the phone finally picked up…

"Hello?" a voice called

"Hello Kagura? Are you free this weekend?" another cool smile played across his face

Yes Inuyasha is going to pay, he was going to learn what happens when you lay with dogs.
