Chapter Three- Nestling Down

Kagome and Satou hustled down into their hotel room, it was luxurious and at first Kagome felt like she didn't belong. Sesshoumaru's name kept running through her mind. He never was really fond of her, but still won't he have at least recognized her?

"Kagome?" Satou called annoyingly. "Kagome are you listening to me?" Satou snapped her fingers in front of Kagome's face, gathering the thinking girl's attention.

"Wha-what?" Kagome stuttered and felt a small blush come to her cheeks.

"I just said I was going to go take a shower, don't go rushing off alright." Satou said in a rather demanding voice. But Kagome was already gone, too far-gone to be called back.

'Sesshoumaru Taisho-…his brother's estate, did Inuyasha go to…Mexico. But Naraku told me he left to somewhere like Canada or something, why would Naraku lie to me? What was he trying to hide?' Kagome shook her head and stood, walking over to the desk on the other side of the room, she searched the desk and settled down, phone book in her hands.

She scanned the 'T's but didn't really know what town to start with so she started at the beginning. The process took a long time, an hour or so had past and Satou had finished her shower and already blow dried her hair and was going to get something to eat.

Kagome was now in the local section looking at the 'T's. She slowly she went down the list but didn't see anything, subconsciously she went over it again and again, once more she looked at the list, reading ever last name slowly to herself, again she found nothing. She picked up the book and threw it down. Tears started t stream down her face with frustration. 'Maybe I'm not suppose to find him…' shaking the thought off she walked over and picked up the book and looked at the right side of the page the book had opened up too. On the very top in yellow big numbers were the words "Taisho Corporation" a number was given, underneath those words was the name "Inutaisho estate" then gave the number 567-2435. Kagome gave a small shriek and wrote down the number and ran downstairs. Her tears had dried and were forgotten.

She looked around, looking for the payphone. She scanned for several minutes before she gave up and asked the desk clerk. The clerk just pointed outside and then pointed to the left. Kagome smiled and just said "gracious" (Thank you in Spanish) then ran outside. The phone box was small but didn't complain slowly she dialed the number and waited as it ran slowly.

"Taisho residence, who's speaking." A man picked up. She sounded familiar but Kagome shook it off, she didn't care at the moment.

"Kagome Higirashi." Kagome said impatiently. She fidgeted with her shirt and put her fingernail up her mouth.

"Do you have a appointment with Inuyasha Taisho?" the name made Kagome's heart jump.

"Well ah no you see I just came from-…"

"Inuyasha Taisho is an extremely busy, I am sorry ma'am but your going to have to make an appointment." The male voice sounded gruff.

"How about you give Mr. Taisho a message. Tell him Kagome Higirashi called and tell him to call him back at 567-4476 room 7. And you know what smart-ass, just because you can't get laid on a daily basis doesn't mean you have to take it out on me you asshole!" with that Kagome slammed down the receiver and shrieked happily. Four months since she'd seen him and now in the most unlikely places she finds him…there was only one thing stopping her now, her engagement.

The receptionist grumbled at the dead line and set the phone down. He was tired and grumpy and the last thing he needed was some bitch of a teenager back talking him. Walking into the elevator and hit a button, moving up to Inuyasha's room. The doors opened up slowly and he walked out, knocking on the 18-year-olds room slowly.

After he was told to come in the man pushed open the doors and walked into the room. "Inuyasha?" he whispered quietly.

"Miroku come in." the boy walked closer to the bed and sat on the chair that was to the right of it.

"A woman called Inuyasha. Someone by the name of Kagome Higirashi, she told me to give you her number and give her a ring sometime." Miroku saw his friends face light up for the first time in four months as he handed over the number. "Also your brother will be arriving in a few short hours, do you feel ok to walk around a little?" Inuyasha almost bounded up off the bed, clapping twice as the lights came on he looked in the mirror, his face was pale and his hair was a dull gray and it desperately needed to be washed.

Inuyasha coughed horribly three times before heading to the shower to wash off, he repeated her name in his head over and over again, and he wondered what she looked like now. Was her hair longer, how was she feeling lately, after he last seen her she was lying there in the hospital bed, being forced to leave her was the hardest thing he ever had to do. He didn't know how she found him, but she did and he was going to see her while she was here if it was the last thing he did in his life.

A shallow knock came on the bedroom door as Inuyasha had a coughing fit and tried to dress at the same time. Finally he was dressed and walked sluggishly to the door and opened it. Face to face with Miroku. "Your brother will see you in the study." Miroku helped him the best he could without making Inuyasha mad.

The study was warm as Sesshoumaru paced the room over and over again. He knew that his brother gave up on treatment, he didn't take his pills anymore, and also Inuyasha had given up on life. Sesshoumaru didn't like to admit it but he was sad and filled with pain, their had to be something he could do to help his little brother. It didn't help that the face of the little whore that was on the plane with him kept popping into his head.

His brother made his entrance and Sesshoumaru stopped fidgeting and took a seat. Both just stared at each other for a long time. Sesshoumaru noticed the gleam in Inuyasha's eyes, but the rest of his body seemed deathly ill. He had no color in his face and if he was to go threw the arranged marriage that his father had planned out for his little brother, he had to look better then that.

"You came to see me?" Inuyasha was the first to talk. His voice was tired and sounded more like a couple of groans.

"Yes, Inuyasha father has requested you return to Tokyo in three weeks, he has a women he is planning for you to marry. I will be watching over the estate while your gone." Sesshoumaru grew blunt and got straight to the point.

The shimmer in Inuyasha's eyes vanished immediately. Sesshoumaru didn't think it was possible, but more color seemed to drain from his brother's face. Inside his mind Sesshoumaru thought desperately, trying not to put anymore stress over Inuyasha. "Father is positive that this marriage will benefit the estates. He assures me that she is a wonderful woman and very smart and intelligent-..."

"I wonder when he will start to think about what is best for you and I rather then what is for the better of the stupid company." The words fell bitterly out of Inuyasha's mouth, with no intentions of taking them back.

"You should not talk about father that way, It ruins our composure." Sesshoumaru stood and walked towards the window of the study, thinking again, about the woman who had took his hand on the plane. "It's not like you have someone you like anyway-…"

"Kagome contacted me today." Inuyasha threw in. He hated that way his brother expected him not to make something of himself.

"Kagome?" Sesshoumaru thought back, the name reminded him of someone.

"Kagome Higirashi, the one in Tokyo, you know the one you wanted to lay." Inuyasha said it so harshly he could see Sesshoumaru flinch inwardly.

"I am not the same as I once was." Sesshoumaru turned his head towards his brother. "You can do better then whoever this Kagome chick is-…"

"Kagome Higirashi! You know the girl we left there in the hospital bed while dad had his little panic attack!" Inuyasha barked in a hating way. How could his brother forget Kagome, she had been through so much and she needed someone to turn to. She had needed someone to look after her.

"Kagome was not worth you time little brother. She is nothing more then a whore and you and I both know that." Sesshoumaru kept his voice calm that was it the girl he had sat next to on the plane it was Kagome Higirashi. "And I would say she is doing pretty good for herself. She is pregnant. She came to Mexico on the same plane as i."

Inuyasha gaped at his half brother. "You knew?"

"I didn't know who it was, she was just terrified of the plane so she had a death grip on my hand. She must have done some sleeping around when you left her." Sesshoumaru laughed out loud. Inuyasha's face was stunned with utter shock. "Her friend said she had been raped and didn't want to get ride of the baby because it had done nothing to her."

"Kagome had been raped Sesshoumaru, by a guy named Jay, but dad said Jay was put in jail." Inuyasha struggled to stand, walking over to his brother on wobbly legs.

"Well according to the news he was bailed out the day I left Tokyo. No one knows who had done it, but come to think about it, it very well could be the reason she fled." Sesshoumaru didn't really believe his little brother and the whore's story, but it made sense.

"You don't believe me do you?" Inuyasha could read his brother sometimes, when his brother was relaxed and wasn't trying to hide anything.

"I didn't say that."

"No but you were thinking it weren't you." Inuyasha pushed again.

"Maybe." Had been all Sesshoumaru put in before Inuyasha had started another coughing fit. By the looks of it Inuyasha was choking. His eyelids looked heavy and he lost consciousness.

A/N: Not bad chappie I guess but I don't think that it was the best. So I was starting to think about starting a new story called 'Orders if the Court'. I'll give you an intro then can you guys tell me if I should or not?

28 year old Inuyasha is a lawyer and always remembers that when working a case, the defendant was off limits. Desperate to prove the victims innocents, he explores her past, present, and future but when exploring her heart he finds himself risking his job, life, and love for one woman.
