"I am the one who gave the orders"

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagome walking down.

"I saw and heard everything that was said during the battle" she said.

"I TOLD YOU STAY WITHIN OUR CHAMBERS" Sessomaru growled. She actually saw the vein pulsing on his forehead in anger.

She turned to the guards "leave us, I want at least two of you guarding the entrance and make sure NO ONE enters, not even our pups and friends. Am I clear" she said with authority.

"YES MY LADY" they walked off to their post.

She turned back to her mate and her eyes softened. She went to him and kissed him softly but still sweet. "I am sorry for disobeying you, but you should know better to think I would stay put especially if it involves me as well love" she kissed him once more but this one was longer and a little more passionate.

She slowly pulled away with a soft smile. She then faced Inuyasha.

"What made you think I would leave with you" she said with no emotional expression "your attempts in pursuing me are getting quite bothersome"

"YOU WERE MINES FIRST. YOU PROMISED TO NEVER LEAVE ME BUT YOU BETRAY ME AND MATE MY BROTHER. YOU KNEW THAT I LOVED YOU" a hard slap was heard echoing in the dungeon stopping him from going any further.

"HOW DARE YOU LIE TO MY FACE AND TELL ME YOU LOVE ESPECIALLY WHAT YOU ALMOST DID TO ME 2 YEARS AGO. I HAD ENOUGH POWER AT THAT VERY MOMENT TO KILL YOU BUT SADLY MY PATHETIC HEART WOULDN'T LET ME. THE ONLY REASON I STUCK AROUND AS LONG AS I DID WAS FOR MY PPU AND THE OTHERS." She seethed violently.

Inuyasha just sat there stunned and shocked. He and his beast remembered that day very clearly. I was a mistake. His beast wanted Kagome, it yearned for her and her alone but Inuyasha still loved Kikiyuo at the time. He was so confused he called Kagome Kikiyuo then forced himself on her.

Sesshomaru had longed calm down after kissing his mate. He watched her walk over to his brother then the next thing he saw was painful looking red nark on Inuyashas' face that could compete with the monks' face.

He became very interested when Kagome brought up what happened two years ago.

'What happened that was so bad that she would even think of killing the mongrel?' he thought curiously. By the look on Inuyashas' face it had to have been horrible.

"Mate" Sesshomaru said getting her attention "tell me what happened 2 years ago" he demanded. He wanted to know how else the whelp destroyed her.

Kagome looked up when her mate called her. She almost forgot he was there.

She looked from her mate back to Inuyasha "Do you want me to tell him or do want to man up and confess yourself" she said coldly.

Inuyasha hid his eyes behind his bangs as he looked at the ground "I almost raped Kagome 2 years ago after saying 'I Love you Kikiyuo' "he whispered.

"YOU DID WHAT" Sesshomaru yelled beginning to transform.

Kagome had never been so happy for binding ropes. She saw Sesshomaru was infuriated and was about to transform but the ropes shocked him into transforming back into his humanoid form.

"Look" Kagome said "These ropes can only be removed by me, and that won't happen until everything is said and done." She looked back at Inuyasha.

"I hated you for so long Inuyasha. Every time I even heard your voice I wanted you dead" she admitted. She felt a little better seeing his ears droop to his skull as his aura became depressed "but I forgave you" she whispered "there were times when I even questioned if I would ever come back. I just wanted to start over and live my life back in my era where I belonged, but after much, much, much time I forgave but I never trusted you after that and I still don't"

Sesshomaru was not please at all especially when he saw Inuyashas' head shoot up after hearing she forgave him, but was a little happy hearing she never trusted him again.

"I don't know what you thought you would gain by coming here. I will never think of you in that way ever again that much I am certain" she said. She looked back and took a seat on a bench connected to the wall. She looked at them both.

"During the battle I heard some very interesting things" she said "it seems you two envy each others' life"

"NO WAY IN HELL DO I WANT TO LIVE LIKE THAT VERMIN" they both yelled enraged that she even suggested such a thing.

She smirked at the outburst.

"It seems you two are more alike then you thought" she said a little amused "Inuyasha, you wanted everything Sesshomaru has and blamed him for the life you have now." She turned to Sesshomaru "You say you want to be more free and happy like Inuyasha but your role as a Lord doesn't have time for such things" she said calmly.

'Who knew psychology class would actually come in handy' Kagome thought amused.

The two just sat there staring at the wall avoiding each other's gaze.

"I know you both to well to know neither one of you would start first so I'll help." She looked at Inuyasha "I know you hate Sesshomaru but in his own hard way he was doing something that your father never got a chance to do. He was trying to teach you how to become a respectable man. I know it may have been harsh but it sounded to me that he did care. Since your father was already gone and your mother passed when you were so young, Sesshomaru was already a ruler. He didn't even have time for himself so taking you in wouldn't have taught you much. He wanted you to learn how fight, care, and provide for yourself. He never wanted you to live a life he has. One of hate and anger where in his world, your status is determined by your position. From what I know, back then no one, not even humans respected half demons in the least. Just imagine yourself living with Sesshomaru and having to watch your back every step of the way because some of the most powerful demons are out to get you because they see you as a corrupt monstrosity. As for the attacking you part, I have a guess but you'll have to find out from Sesshomaru for sure. He wanted to see for himself of what you became to be since child hood. He wanted to test you and see how far you have come in life. As for wanting the sword, I have no idea whatsoever."

She faced Sesshomaru.

"Inuyasha sees you as the worst person imaginable. When he needed you most you turned you back on him and left him to die. You had the privilege of knowing you father. You had your own family. One that cared and protected you. They taught you so much and loved you, Inuyasha never got that happiness and he resented you for it. You and a great life in his eyes but was too uptight to really enjoy it and be grateful."

They just stared shocked, stunned, and amazed at her analysis of them. She was right, she was right about it all.

Sesshomaru had a small smile as he looked at his mate. She never ceased to amaze him as he found out more about her every time. He knew she was intelligent but never knew to what extent.

"Now" she said standing up "I'm going up to our chambers and leave you two here to talk" she said.

"WHAT" they yelled. She just giggled. She walked to her mate and kissed his lips.

"I'll be back later, and I'll know for a fact whether you talked or not" she said sternly. She walked away as their growls echoed through the air.

"No matter what they say do not untie them" she said seriously to the two guards.

"Yes My Lady" they said respectively.

'She's trying to get us killed' they thought in unison just imagining all the gruesome things Sesshomaru would do to them when he got out.

#########

It's been a little over an hour and the two brothers remained silent as they thought to themselves.

Sesshomaru was the first to break the silence after another hour.

"Why" Inuyasha pulled out of his thoughts at the sound of his brother.

"What" he said a little annoyed.

"Why the hell would you try and rape her" he said with all the hate in the world but kept his calm exterior.

Inuyasha turned away with his ears to his skull and his head hung in shame.

"I was confused" he said softly "my beast only wanted Kagome and Kagome alone. My beast did love Kikiyuo but nowhere as much as he loved Kagome, but I was still confused. Kikiyuo was the first person to actually take a liking in me. I felt like shit at the way she died. I made a vow to myself to always love her and never trust another but that was before Kagome. Kagome was so much more then Kikiyuo could even hope to be. I knew I loved her but couldn't let go of Kikiyuo. My beast got irritated and impatient and took over, but I fucked up and called out Kikiyuos' name. My beast wanted her so much and wasn't going to lose her so he made up his mind to take her either willingly or by force" he explained. The whole time he spoke he knew it was his own fault and not his beast because he couldn't even make up his mind.

Sesshomaru sat there quietly.

He hated him for almost raping his mate, especially because he couldn't forget about a dead woman who wanted nothing more than to change him for her own benefit. Somewhere in him sympathized for him though.

He was brought out of his thoughts by Inuyashas' voice.

"Why did you want my sword so bad? It was all I had, why did you want it" he asked not looking at him.

"I did not" he didn't care for the sword so much at all "I knew you were attached to it so I used it to my advantage to make you stronger. If you had something worth protecting enough then you will give it your all and refuse to fail" he said in his usual tone. He was more of the blunt type and did not care for lying.

Inuyasha just stared at him a little amazed at his confession.

"I'm sorry" Inuyasha said after a while as he looked at the ground "I'm sorry for what I did to Kagome and for all the years of blaming you and everything else" he admitted softly.

"Hn" Sesshomaru said "It is Kagome you need to apologize to not I"

"I know" Inuyasha said sadly.
