Love From His Brother

Chapter 2: Brother

Sesshomaru walked towards his brothers wife, "Hello, Kagome." He said softly.

Kagome looked up at him and gave him a shaky smile, "Sesshomaru, how are you?"

"I have been well. What about you? The last time I saw you was at the wedding."

She gestured towards the chair across from her asking him to join her, "I...I am ok. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch since then but you know how your brother gets when your name is mentioned and I didn't want to cause problems for the family or anything." She looked down slightly ashamed at not contacting him after all this time.

Sesshomaru looked as his long time friend and leaned over and touched her hand gently, he didn't miss the flinch, "Kagome, I understand, there is no reason to apologisie. I now exactly how my little brother can be. Where is he anyway? Why are you here by yourself? I didn't think you went anywhere without him."

She looked at him. 'Just what I needed right now. Sesshomaru showing up and of course he is going to ask where Inuyasha is.' "Inuyasha is at home right now we got into an argument...no biggy." She gave him a small smile but when she looked into his olden eyes she felt it falter."We fought and I just needed...I just needed a breather. You know I couldn't stay around him not when he was like that...He's...Well I mean you know what I mean." She knew she was babbleing but she couldn't stop. "He's very stressed right now what with everything thats been going on in the company. And-"

"Kagome," He took her hand gently. "Kagome, whats going on? I know you and your babbleing...You never babble. Now tell me what it is. Whatever it is it can't be that bad."

Kagome looked him she didn't know what to say but she should have known better then to talk to Sesshomaru about anything. He was always the one that could make her talk when she didn't want to.

Flashback

"Kagome."

She looked behind her and saw him comeing towards her. "Sesshomaru." She turned back around and put her head back down on her knees. She had been sitting in this park for the last hour thinking about her life and what she was going to do.

"Kaome, are you ok? I have been lookin for you everywhere." He sat down beside her on the ground.

"Yeah...I guess. I've just been thinking about everything thats been going on you know." She looked at him and smiled gently.

"Like what?"

"You know I have been working so hard trying to keep my grades up and everything trying to be good enough to get into TU?" She possed this as a question and he nodded, looking confused. "Well, I finally got my acceptance letter today." She sighed.

"Kagome thats wonderful. But if you got accepted why are you so down about it." He looked at her with cunfusion written all over his face.

"Well how am I supposed to go when Inuyasha and I are to be married in a year? How am I supposed to go to Tokyo University when he has to go to the states and start interning at the Taisho Corp. afeter graduation?"

"Have you talked to him aout all this?" He knew how important going to college was to her. She had been poor all her life and she didnt want to ever put her kids through what she had.

"I did and he said that there was no need for me to go to school because he was going to take care of me and I didnt have to work. But I want to be useful I dont want to be just a rich mans wife." She looked out across the playground. "I dont know what to do Sess. He doesnt want me to go and I love him so much that I wanna make him happy no matter what even if that means I cant go to school."

Sesshomaru looked at her in dibelief, "You mean your not gonna go just because his spoiled ass doesnt want you to? Kagome you have been working towards this your whole life and now your just gonna give it up?"

Kagome smiled sadly. She knew he was going to act like this when he finally found out, thats why she didnt want to be the one to tell him but he always had a way of getting stuff out of her. "Sesshomaru, you will understand one day when you fall in love. You would give up anything just to make that person happy...Even if it something you've always wanted."

End Flashback

Kagome sat looking at Sesshomaru as he drank his coffee. She smiled a little at the memory he had tried to change her mind but she was adament about her decision. "Sesshomaru, do you remember that day in the park?" He looked at her and nodded grimly. "Well, I should have taken your advice and went after my dreams."

Sesshomaru looked at her confused. She had been so set on not going to school because that prat of a brother of his didnt know how to look after his woman. He had tried to convince her to go to school but it had been like running a marathon on a tredmill, alot of work but he hadnt got anywhere."Kagome why are you telling me this now? Why didnt you go then? What has happened that has changed your mind?"

Kagome looked at him then down at the food she had been pushing around on her plate, "Because Inyasha doesn't love me like I thought he did."

Sesshomaru looked at her bent head confused, "What? What makes you say that?"

She took a deep breath and started to tell him all that had happened since this morning. From the time she had found out about the baby to when she had walked out the door.

"..."

There was silence and then..."Grrrrr." Kagome looked up quickly and saw that Sesshomaru was fighting with the demon inside him and she gasped his eyes were flickering from gold to red very fast. She quickly reached over and gently layed he palm on his cheek and he focused on her and his eyes slowly cleared. He took a deep breath, "You mean to tell me he slapped you? He found out you were pregnant with his pup and he layed his hands on you?" He hissed.

Kagome's eyes widdened, "Well...Well he didnt mean to...he lost control. I should have left and not said anything I know how close to the surface his demon always is. Sesshomaru it wasn't entirely-"

Sesshomaru gave her a murderess look, "Dont ever let me hear you blame yourself for what he did! I was always battleing my demon at his age to but I never layed a hand on a woman. And I especially would have never layed a hand on my pregnant mate!" He started muttering under his breath about what a stupid baka his brother was and something about killing him.

Kagome chuckled for the first time that day and he looked up at her confused she smiled, "He never made me his mate." She said this so softly that he almost didnt hear her.

"What?" Surely he hadnt heard her right. After five years of marriage his baka brother would have surely marked her.

Kagome looked at the exspression on his face and would have laughed again if it wasn't for the topic they were discussing, "Well you see he never marked me because he always said that he was scared of loseing control and wanted to wait a few years. I never thought anything of it because...well I didnt want to think of it because if I had I would have went crazy."

Sesshomaru looked at her and felt something like relief flood over him as he heard this but that confused him why should he feel relief that she hadnt been properly mated. He shook his head and concentrated on what she was saying,"...should feel relief about him not wanting to mark me. Now I can just get a divorce and be done with him." She glared at the table.

Sesshomaru smiled at her logic she had always been smart, "So what are you gonna do now?"

"Well, I was gonna go stay with Sango but she and Miroku are out of town and they really dont have room for me anyway what with the baby on the way and all. I guess I'll stay in a hotel untill I can find an apartment and a job I still have the check cards and things. Maybe he won't cancel them knowing that I'm pregnant and all."

"You will not stay in hotel. Not with that baby in you belly, you'll stay with me." He looked at her and dared her to argue but he knew she would.

"Sess I can't do that. What about your girlfriend I know shes not going to be happy that you have another woman staying in your house. And besides it'll just cause more problems with the family."

"Kagome Taisho, first off I dont have a girlfriend and even if I did it wouldnt matter you are not only my friend but part of my family. And as far as the family goes they will be more worried about how you and the pup are then about where you are staying. Now would you like me to send someone to get your thing from your apartment?"

Kagome looked at him and statrted to argue but from the look on his face she decided against it and sighed, "No, I packed what I needed before I left and its in my car."

"Good, come on I'll take you home."

Meanwhile Inuyasha was paceing the apartment. He was so pissed at himself at Kikyou at Kagome at everything. After she had left he had called all the ceck cards and credit card companies and had her accounts froze he figured that if she didnt have any money she would have to come back to him. He had tried to call her numerous times and it had went straight to voicemail so he knew she had turned off her cell.

"Fuck!" He threw the phone at the couch and sat down and ran his hand through his hair for what seemed like the hundredth time. Just then he heard his phone beep meaning he had just got a text message. He flipped the phone open it was from the last person he would have expected.
