Moi-Moi: Hey you guys! Guess who's back? Back again? You guys have been waiting for this for a while now so let's get right down to it. I wanted to wait until I had a name for this story before I posted up the first chapter.
KagInuReader: That's it? There's nothing you want to say to the public?
Moi-Moi: Ummmmmm… Not really. Just that this story is not for Kikyou-lovers. There is MAJOR Kikyou bashing in this fic. She's the main bad guy!
KagInuReader: Obviously…

Sesshoumaru looked around himself slowly. He was sitting at the head of his table with others around him. His mate, Kagura, the monk and his fiancée were sitting with him as well. No one was speaking. Even Sesshoumaru found the eerie silence to be unnerving.
He looked to his mate first. Kagura was fiddling with her hands in her lap. She had taken to saying very little as of late. Next, was the monk. He looked to be meditating, motionless. Finally, the Taijiya. She had her arms folded over her chest with an irritated look on her face. Her leg was bouncing quickly and her fingers were tapping on her upper arm. It was obvious that no one was going to do anything. At once, Sesshoumaru stood and left the room.
The Taiyoukai made his way up the staircase and onto the second floor. He gracefully moved to the end of the hall. Facing the last door, he opened it slowly and enter the room unannounced.
Sesshoumaru watched the room. It was in a terrible condition. The walls were clawed, the furniture demolished, the floors were uproot. Even the ceiling was destroyed. Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "You cannot stay in that bed for the rest of your life."
The lump in the bed didn't move. Nor did it respond.
This was his brother? Well, what was left of him. The hanyou had taken to staying in this room and refused to speak to anyone. Sesshoumaru was sure he hadn't eaten anything since…
"Inuyasha, get up. You are a disgrace to me as you are," Sesshoumaru said. Nothing. He waited for a snide remark or obscene gesture. But, it never came. Sesshoumaru had to listen for the hanyou's breathing to make sure he was still alive.
"I'll take over from here Sesshoumaru."
Sesshoumaru didn't have to turn around to know that it was her. Kikyou moved around the Taiyoukai and over to the futon on the ground. She knelt in front of it and began to work. Sesshoumaru watched as she began to groom his uncaring brother. It was sickening to watch. She began to hum to herself a light tune.
"Inuyasha. I will not tolerate this foolishness from you anymore. You choose to neglect your responsibilities. I cannot stand by and watch you destroy yourself. The miko may sit back and smile with you but I will not," Sesshoumaru said and turned to the door. Before leaving he said, "If you die in this room, do not assume for one second that I will watch over your pup."
Sesshoumaru shut the door behind him and tried to push back down his anger. From the other side of the door he heard Kikyou say, "Don't worry about him, Inuyasha. Just rest. I'll be right here."
