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…."

"The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege." – Charles Kuralt
Sesshomaru walked into the room that held his brother. He stopped in the doorway with a low gasp as he took in his brother's condition. Inuyasha was hooked to all sorts of things; many which Sesshomaru couldn't identify. There was a heart machine, an IV providing him with the necessary fluids, what looked like an air pump, and different other screens that seemed to be measuring different vital organs. Inuyasha's face was covered in bruises – that is the parts that weren't already covered in bandages. His head was wrapped up with the bandages coming down over half his face, covering his eye as well. A nose cannula – which is what Sesshomaru believed the air pump was for – was in his nose and he was staring – eyes half mass – at Sesshomaru in the doorway.
Sesshomaru walked farther into the room and sat down next to the bed, all the while Inuyasha watched him. "You came…" Inuyasha rasped lowly. Sesshomaru nodded silently. "I'm sorry," Inuyasha whispered after a while of silence. Sesshomaru looked up at him startled.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry…for…everything I put you…through…" Inuyasha rasped. "I just…wanted to…make you happy," Inuyasha reached his hand up slightly. Sesshomaru hesitated before taking his hand in his.
"Elaborate," Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha grinned weakly.
"There you go again…using those…big words…" Inuyasha chuckled. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes before giving Inuyasha a small, amused smile.
"Explain,"
"Do you…remember when we….were younger?" Inuyasha asked. Sesshomaru nodded lightly.
"We were nearly inseparable at a young age," Sesshomaru said.
"You used to always talk to me about everything," Inuyasha whispered. "No matter what it was, you would always confide in me. You always came to me when you were sad, angry, annoyed, happy – anything. I was always there for you and always made sure you were in a good mood before you went off again…" Inuyasha looked away from Sesshomaru. "I hated seeing you depressed…When you started dating, it just…pissed me off because….I was jealous," Inuyasha looked back at Sesshomaru.
"I was always jealous of the people you dated because…they got all the attention from you, you'd pour your heart into and then they'd just leave. I hated them all," Inuyasha looked down. "I wanted you to be happy, which is why I chased off most of your…" Inuyasha paused for a moment. "Suitors, if you can call it that," Inuyasha sighed. "I know it seems stupid, but I didn't trust anyone with you but me because I believed everyone was going to hurt you….I realize its….stupid but I couldn't help thinking that way," Inuyasha looked back up at Sesshomaru, who was staring at him in shock.
"I know you're probably beyond angry at me for all the things I've said to you, that I've done….but please know I only did it to protect you…to make you happy," Inuyasha frowned. "I know I fucked up big time…me trying to make you happy just made you even more miserable, but I couldn't help it…" Inuyasha looked away from Sesshomaru again. He gave Sesshomaru's limp hand a squeeze.
"I just don't want to lose you…"
"You won't…" Sesshomaru mumbled. Inuyasha looked at him when he felt his hand being squeezed lightly. "I forgive you…I understand now," Inuyasha smiled slightly. "But, Inuyasha you have to let me live my life. No more interfering," Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha.
"I can't make any promises…" Inuyasha grumbled. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed more. "B-But I'll try very, very hard…"
"Is there anything else?" Sesshomaru asked. Inuyasha stared at Sesshomaru for awhile answering him.
"No….that was all….I'm really sorry Sessh," Inuyasha whispered. Sesshomaru sighed.
"It's alright," A knock on the door made Sesshomaru turn around. It was Kagome, Izayoi, and Izaodoka. Sesshomaru stood and let go of Inuyasha's hand.
"Keep in touch," Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru nodded.
"Uncle Sessho, you leaving?" Izaodoka asked with a tremble in her bottom lip. "I never ever see you!"
"Don't worry, Izzy," Sesshomaru said as he walked towards her. He ruffled her hair and she swatted his hand away.
"Don't mess my hair! Mommy just did it when before we left," She whined. Sesshomaru chuckled. "Well I see you to later?" Sesshomaru chuckled again.
"Yes. You'll see me to later," Sesshomaru nodded at Kagome and Izayoi and took his leave out the room. Kagome and Izayoi looked at Inuyasha.
"Did you tell him?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah,"
"Everything?" Kagome's eyes narrowed. Inuyasha turned away.
"Um…not everything…" Inuyasha mumbled.
"Why not?" Kagome demanded. "He needs to know – he deserves to know!"
"I didn't want to tell him because I know he'd be beyond pissed at me…even more so then he was now! He'd never talk to me again!" The heart monitor began to beep erratically.
"Inuyasha, please calm down," Izayoi said softly, walking up to Inuyasha and sitting down. She grabbed his hand in both hers and frowned. "It's understandable that you don't want to lose your brother," Izayoi spoke softly. She frowned slightly. "But what is this that you've not told Sesshomaru that he deserves to know?" She looked between Kagome and Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru walked out into the waiting area to see Kai with two other men in uniform. Sesshomaru frowned as he made his way over to them. "…understood." Was all Sesshomaru managed to hear as he walked up to them. The two men left.
"Kai?" Sesshomaru asked. Kai turned and smiled at him.
"Hey babe, ready to go?" Kai asked. Sesshomaru nodded.
"Who were those men?" Sesshomaru asked as Kai led them out the hospital.
"Some friends from work," Kai said with a light shrug as they made their way to the car. Sesshomaru glanced at Kai as the man opened the passenger door for him.
