I do not own Inuyasha or the characters in this story.

Kagome woke early that morning. Still unsure of what she was feeling. "I'm not ready to see Inuyasha yet. Part of me wants to skip today and find Sesshoumaru. I really did enjoy yesterday. Though I can't believe I said that to him last night. Oh my God what must he think. I'm so stupid I have a good thing with Inuyasha and I should be happy with that. Oh shit I wonder if he's mad at me for yesterday. I said some mean things to him and he didn't call me at all last night. Is he even going to pick me up today." I just couldn't stop thinking about everything. So I got up and went to make breakfast. I had a feeling that maybe I should have stayed in bed when the doorbell rang. Who could be here at this hour I still got at least a hour before Inuyasha gets here. I make my way to the door and for some reason my hearts beating fast. I open the door and the cup I was holding drops to the floor.

"Morning, are you ok?" Sesshoumaru asks her. He just stares at her expression as she fumbles to pick up the cup she dropped. He doesn't know if it was surprise or what, that had her dropping it at the site of him. Yet the thought intrigued him. " So you always this clumsy in the morning or is it just that I make you nervous."

I couldn't look him in the eye. Man I'm stupid. "Morning, sorry you surprised me is all. You're the last person I expected at my door at this time."

"Yeah well I just wanted to see if your going to be home after school" he watched as her face got red," Rin wanted to come by and see you. To make sure your ok."

"Oh um, yeah I'll be here. Are you going to be with her" she looked in his eyes then.

He thought that she looked hopeful at the idea that he'd be there to." No I'm just dropping her off." There he saw it in her face, it was disappointment he couldn't believe it. She wanted him here, he thought he was wrong but he knows what he saw and it made his heart jump.

She couldn't hide the disappointment that she felt from her face though she tried to. I hope he didn't notice. "Okay well that's fine. So would you like to come in or are you headed somewhere."

"No its okay I'm head to an early class. I'll stop by with Rin after 4 o'clock." Man did he want to go in but he didn't think that he could control himself if he was alone with her right now.

"Alright I'll be waiting for you… I mean I'll be waiting for Rin. Yeah um have a good day then."

"Yeah you too."

He turned around and started walking away. When he heard her door shut he stopped to look back. Why? Why did he want her like this?

While inside Kagome had her back to the door, her heart was racing. Why did she feel this way and why was it with him?

Outside around the corner Inuyasha watched. He thought to go by there early to talk to Kagome. He thought about apologizing to her and trying to explain as best he could his feelings. But when he got to the corner he saw him. Sesshoumaru at her door and that look on her face. They talked and then as that bastard left he just watching her door. Damnit he knew something was going on but he was hoping he'd been wrong. He started to walk to her house and if his brother turn his way then he'd find out what the hell he'd wanted from her.

"Hey why the hell are you bothering Kagome? Didn't I tell you to stay away from her?"

Sesshoumaru just looked at his little brother. Dumb boy did he think that he'd let him talk to him in this way. " Watch your mouth mutt. I just came by to let your girlfriend see a real man first before she had to see you."

" Screw you Sesshoumaru, she's not like that. And especially not about you. Now tell me what your doing here."

" I told you. You should have seen the lust in here eyes for me. You know the look right or is that look only for me."

That's it Inuyasha wasn't going to stand around and listen to this shit from him. He swung with his right fist. But Sesshoumaru was faster and knocked him to the ground with one left hook.

"Little brother if you don't man up to your woman then it's not my fault that she finds someone better. And personally I wouldn't mind a piece of that." He kicked him down when Inuyasha tried to get up. Even though he said those things to him he'd never be that callus to her but if Inuyasha can keep her all the better for his piece of mind. Cause if he does have a chance with her than god help him he was going to take it.

That stupid son of a bitch. He couldn't go to Kagome looking like this, or could he then she'd see what his brother was really like.

Kagome was sitting down to eat when the doorbell rang again. She couldn't keep her heart from speeding up at the thought that Sesshoumaru was back. Yet when she opened the door it was Inuyasha and he had a split lip. " What happened to you?"

"I saw Sesshoumaru on my way here and he did this to me. I didn't even say anything to him. Stupid asshole has no decency at all in him."

"Okay I don't want to hear it. Let me just clean you up."

"What the hell you mean you don't want to hear it. Don't you care that I got hit for no reason."

" All I'm saying is that I don't want to hear you talking bad about him anymore ok. He helped me and whatever problems you two have between each other well I just don't want to hear it ok."

"But I .."

" I said no I don't want to hear it do you understand me."

"Whatever. Fine. So how are you today? I'm sorry if I upset you yesterday."

She had forgotten about that. They had had a fight. Wow she couldn't believe that she had forgotten it. Then again all she could think of was Sesshoumaru.

" Hey are you listening to me." Inuyasha saw that look in her eye again. He knew deep down that she was thinking of him. It made him sick and really jealous.

"Huh, what. Yeah I hear you and I'm sorry too. I guess I've been holding to much in. So um lets forget it ok."

"Okay I guess if that's what you want but we are going to discuss this soon ok." He was confused now. What did she want from him?

"Hey we better head out so we're not late for school."

So they grabbed their things and headed out the door. They walked in silence at first, neither one knowing what they should say. When she felt him grab her hand. I was so surprised, this is so not like him at all and if didn't feel right to her. She looked down at there hands and looked start at Inuyasha. "Um Inuyasha are you feeling okay today?"

"What kind of question is that, huh. I just felt like holding your hand, unless you don't want me to anymore."

The last part was said kind of softly so that she could hear the pain in it. She felt so bad cause this is what she had wanted but it just felt wrong to her like it just wasn't the right person anymore. "Sorry I was just surprised is all. I guess that it fine but if your uncomfortable then I understand."

"Look if you don't want me to hold your hand then say so." he dropped her hand hard like if it was burning him." Sorry if I'm the wrong person."

'What's that's supposed to mean?"

"You know what I mean. look just forget it ok I tried. Lets just go we're going to be late"

He walked ahead of her the rest of the way. And they didn't talk much at all during school. After the last bell Inuyasha met her a the front of the school like always. "So you want to go somewhere with me today."

"Um I can't today I need to head home." Kagome felt guilty that she was getting anxious to see Sesshoumaru, but she wasn't about to tell him that. "I'm sorry."

"Fine then I'll walk you home if that's ok with you."

"Yeah that would be great."

They walked along for a bit before he just couldn't hold it in anymore. "So what did you do yesterday when you skipped school."

He sounded kind of mad." Nothing I walked around some then went home. Why?"

"Heh, so you were alone all day yesterday. Is that what your saying." He couldn't believe that she'd lie to him right to his face." So you weren't with anyone else yesterday at all."

"Why are you pushing this. I told you already what I did. What's the matter with you?"

"Me? Ha, your lying to me. I know you are I went by your house to check on you and you weren't there. So what do I do, I wait and wait like an idiot. And then what do you think I saw later on. Huh what did I see can you tell me that."

Oh no, he saw me with Sesshoumaru. Well nothing happened anyways so he has nothing to be mad about. " Fine I came home with Sesshoumaru and what about it. We didn't do anything. He was just making sure I got home safe."

"Huh is that all then. He saw you coming home and walked you the rest of the way. Why not just ell me that instead of hiding it from me. I mean it's not like you spent the whole day with him."

All she could do was stare at him. What should she say, that she did spend the day with him. Oh no what should I do.

Inuyasha took a step back. He couldn't believe it the look on her face says it all. They were together all day, and she's hiding it from him. "I can't believe it you spent the whole day with HIM. What the hell? Do you think that he's better then me or are you just toying with me."

"Toying with you, me? Please I didn't tell you cause I know how you feel about him. He only stayed with me yesterday cause of what happened before when you were with Miroku. He said I shouldn't be alone. So he kept me company through the day. Besides I know that you went to go see Kikyo that day after you left Miroku. You think I didn't know but I'm not stupid. I know that she was in town. So don't go giving me shit."

"How did you know that? And I just went to say hi and that was it."

"Yeah sure that's why you didn't get to my house till after dark that night, right?"

"This isn't about me it's about you and my damn brother."

" Well to bad I have nothing to say to you about it right now."

He didn't want to get into this now not when he was trying to fix things with her. "Look I get it your mad at me but don't do this with him, he'll just hurt you. You know that don't you or are you just that stupid."

"I'm not doing anything besides spending time with someone nice. And yes he's nice to me and we had fun together so if you don't mind I'm going in now. I'll see you tomorrow at my party."

Kagome turned at stomped into her house. He couldn't believe that she could enjoy time with Sesshoumaru. God Damnit what the hell was he going to do. If he followed her then she would just get madder. He'd fix this. He needed to have a "talk" with his big brother. He was not going to let this happen.

Sesshoumaru was walking Rin to Kagome's house when he saw them fighting outside. They stopped to the side so they wouldn't be seen. While they listened he had to fight the urge to go and punch out his brother when he caught what she had said. She enjoyed spending time with him. He felt lighter like his heart was lifting. He'd never felt this way before. He couldn't think to much into it though. She's fighting with Inuyasha so she might just be saying it to get to him, to push his buttons. It doesn't matter anyways cause what would a girl like that see in him anyways.

Inuyasha started to walk away when he spotted him. Sesshoumaru and a little girl. Damn what the hell is he doing here now.

"What did I tell you this morning? Stay way."

"Rin why don't you head into Kagome's house, I be back later to get you. And don't tell her that I met up with him ok."

"Sure Sesshoumaru, thank you again for bringing me. And I'll be good and won't say any thing." Rin told him innocently.

He watched her go and enter Kagome's home before turning on his brother." Now then little brother. If you got something to say then say it now while you can still talk."
