No Turning Back

Sesshoumaru was pacing again. Back and forth he went about the room ignoring everything around him. Inuyasha was far past the point of trying to make the older man see reason. The two had been at each other's throats for the past 2 hours and it was getting ridiculous.

"Sesshoumaru you're not thinking straight. So what if he wants it? He's a bigger idiot than I thought if he wants to work with Naraku to win her over. Kagome isn't that stupid. And he's definitely not her type."

Inuyasha smirked, but Sesshoumaru didn't find it funny. "You mean to tell me," Here we go again. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "That father plans to extort her company's faults, buy her out, and convert her entire building into the new Taisho Corp branch… even though we're in the very same district. All for the sake of what, I wonder?"

"Yes, yes, yes a thousand times yes. How many damn times do I have to explain it to you? I'm positive that the extortion is Naraku's doing for certain. But you know how much Dad wants power. And with Kagome's company he'll own nearly 90% of the marketing industry." Inuyasha took this time to knock his half-brother down a few pegs.

"He'll cut down anyone who gets in his way. You're the exact same way and you know it. Tell me something. If this was anyone else, and I mean anyone Sesshoumaru, would you even think about what he's doing? Or would you be right there with him, taking out the biggest competition, no matter what."

He wanted to argue that he wouldn't. But he knew Inuyasha was right. For that, he had no answer. Because it was her, Kagome, he refused to let his father to get away with it.

He'd gotten to know her. She wasn't like most other women he knew. She was bright, she intrigued him, she didn't fawn over him, and she certainly didn't need him like other women seemed to think. Perhaps that was what drew him to her most. He wanted her to need him. He wanted her to want him the way he wanted her.

But she would be hard to crack. And he'd be damned if he'd let anyone get in his way to her, especially his father. "It seems that a visit to Father is in order." Inuyasha shuddered when he saw the gleam in Sesshoumaru's eye. Good luck with that one. It seemed the boss was gonna need it.
