Summary: "You don't understand….I loved her….a lot….And he took that from me….so I've decided to take something he loves away from him to show him how I felt! It's nothing personal against you," A sigh "I had a feeling that not cutting ties with that idiot would cost me dearly…I should have listened to Jaken…."

"Silence make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying, but the never needing to say that counts." ― Margaret Lee Runbeck

"I just wanted to make sure we had some choices if you had agreed," Kai said, appearing in the doorway with a grin. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and stood. He was getting ready to leave the room but the phone ringing stopped him. He answered it.

"Hello, T-"

"Oh! Mamoru! Please put Sesshomaru on, quick! This is an emergency!"

"Kagome? This is Sesshomaru," Sesshomaru frowned. Kai walked closer to Sesshomaru.

"It's terrible, Sesshomaru! Something happened to Inuyasha and now he's in critical condition! I don't know what to do…I-I didn't know who else to call!"

Sesshomaru froze and his eyes widened slightly.

"Why did you call me? Did you call his mother?"

"Yes and she's on her way over! I know you and Inuyasha are not really on speaking terms anymore but I thought it would be good to have you here for support, too, since Inuyasha cares about you a lot! Please, Sesshomaru!"

Sesshomaru was silent. He looked up when Kai took the phone from him. "What all happened?" Kai asked.

"Huh? Who is this? Put Sesshomaru back on please!"

" He's still around. What happened?" Kai frowned.

"We don't know yet! I'm not even sure! They haven't told me anything at all. I'm so worried and Izaodoka is fussy and Inuyasha's mom is hysterical!"

"Sounds to me like you're getting there as well. Tell you what, you call Sessh's cell if there are any updates, other than that, consider us on our way," Kai said with a firm nod. Sesshomaru frowned at him. Kai hung up the phone.

"On our way?" Sesshomaru asked. Kai sighed and looked at Sesshomaru.

"I know you two aren't on speaking terms and Inuyasha is a fucking asshole for what he did….well actually words can't even describe how wrong it was, but he's still your brother. He's probably the only kin you have left…and not even assholes deserve to be in the hospital for whatever reason," Kai frowned. Sesshomaru sighed.

"Sometimes I hate your values," Sesshomaru grumbled under his breath as he walked passed Kai. Kai raised an eyebrow.

"What was that, babe?"

"I said: Fine, we'll go,"


They were in the car. Sesshomaru was staring out the window blankly while Kai was driving. Kai glanced at Sesshomaru from the corner of his eye from time to time. "Baby," Kai mumbled. Sesshomaru ignored him. "Come on, babe…" Sesshomaru looked at Kai from the corner of his eye. "Talk to me babe,"

"Keep your attention on the road," Sesshomaru muttered sourly.

"I see the road," Kai responded back. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Sesshomaru sighed. The rest of the trip was ridden in silence.


Kai lead Sesshomaru inside the hospital and straight to the receptionist desk. "Is this even the right hospital?" Sesshomaru frowned at Kai. Kai smiled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Forgot to ask her. I just assumed it was this one since it's the closest one!" Kai said. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at him until he heard his name being called with a high pitched squeal. Sesshomaru frowned as he turned his gaze towards the source of the noise to see a little 5 year old girl running towards him.

"Uncle Sessho!" She squealed loudly. Sesshomaru bent down slightly to let the little girl run into his arms and stood up straight. Sesshomaru frowned at her.

"Where is your mother?" He asked. The little girl pointed towards the two women approaching them.

"Izaodoka! What did I tell you about screaming and running around like a little heathen?" Kagome scolded when she got close enough.

"That I shouldn't copy what daddy does?" Izaodoka mumbled. Sesshomaru smirked at that.

"So what happened?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Turns out this little accident was not really an accident at all," They all turned their head at the new voice. The man who spoke had large beady eyes, balding head of grey hair, and was wearing a sleek, black suit.

"And you are…?" Sesshomaru asked slowly.

"Ah! Where are my manners; I am Myoga, I am the Taisho's family lawyer." He smiled. "It's nice to see you again after so long, Sesshomaru,"

"Hn?" Sesshomaru's frown deepened as he stared at the man in confusion. He chuckled.

"You might not remember me, you were still young the few times I visited the Taisho household,"

"He's also a family friend," Izayoi said with a smile. Her smile was suddenly replaced with a frown. "What do you mean it was not an accident?"

"Well, I just finished speaking with Inuyasha and the police were just finishing up questioning him. They've already named a few possible suspects and it seems the top few are the ones closest to him: Kagome, Izayoi, and Sesshomaru-"

"What?" Both Izayoi and Kagome exclaimed.

"Well yes...It's only logical to suspect those closest to him first. A lot of the crimes that have been committed lately have been 'love' crimes after all," Myoga raised an eyebrow.

"You believe this?" Kagome glared at him.

"Why would I hurt my only son?" Izayoi snapped. She made a noise of irritation in the back of her throat before she turned away from the group and walked away. Kagome's attention returned to Sesshomaru, who still held Izaodoka.

"How long have you been waiting her in the hospital?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome motioned for him to follow her as she walked towards some chairs.

"Since late last night," Kagome said as she took a seat. Sesshomaru sat down next to her with Izaodoka on his lap. The little girl stuck her thumb in her mouth and stared at Kai.

"You don't look as distraught as you sounded on the phone," Kai said with a frown. Kagome gave a small sigh.

"Believe me, I was going crazy last night," She hugged herself. "Kami…when I first saw him…I nearly fainted," She shuddered. "But when he first woke up," She looked at Sesshomaru. "He didn't even acknowledge me. The first thing he said was – no demanded to see you," Kagome sat up straight and looked at Sesshomaru.

"Huh?"

"He said he didn't want to die with you hating him, that he'd never rest peacefully knowing that you hate him and you were depressed and lonely because of him," She closed her eyes and looked away. "I told him – begged him not to talk like that! I told him he was going to be ok and that he wasn't going to die – hell even the doctors said the same as me…but he just kept asking for you, Sesshomaru. I…was afraid if I told you this before hand, you probably wouldn't come….I thought maybe if you…were to think that Izzy or I needed your support, that you'd come," Kagome looked at Sesshomaru who was now looking down at 5 year old still having a staring contest with Kai.

Kagome and Sesshomaru looked up when they heard someone approach. "Sesshomaru," It was Izayoi. "Inuyasha wants to see you," Kagome looked at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru glanced at her briefly before sighing.

"Please…" Kagome whispered. Sesshomaru gently handed Izaodoka to Kagome who began to fuss.

"No! Want to stay with uncle Sessho!"

"Sweetie, he's going to visit daddy right now," Kagome hushed her as Sesshomaru stood and looked at Kai who seemed to not be following him.

"Kai?" He asked with a frown.

"I think it's best if you two talk alone," Kai said. Izayoi nodded in agreement.

"He really wants to speak with you, Sesshomaru. Ever since he got home after that business party he took you to with him, he hasn't been the same," Kagome said.

"He's been…somewhat dead to the world…" Izayoi mumbled softly. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.

"I doubt it's as bad as you two make it out to be," Sesshomaru commented. The two kept silent, staring in any other direction but towards Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru frowned before making his way towards the room Inuyasha was being held in.
