Here it is: To go or not to go?

"To go or not to go?" I stated to my empty apartment. In front of me was Inuyasha and Kikyo's wedding invitation which I had received a week ago. I wasn't sure whether or not to go. If I did, it would feel like things were being thrown in my face and the only way for that not to happen was if I took Sesshomaru as my date; something I doubted would happen. I could hardly see him as the kind of guy who would want to go to my ex's wedding. If I didn't go it would seem as though I was willing to draw out the feud between Inuyasha, Kikyo, and I. I sighed, for the umpteenth time, and jumped as the doorbell rang. Getting up, I opened it to find Sesshomaru.

"Sess?" I asked confused. Why was he here? And where was Rin? "Is everything okay?"

"Yes." He was tired I could tell but he was also angry. I hoped that he wasn't angry at me though what he could be angry at me for I wasn't sure.

"Kagome," he began, walking in as I moved away from the door. "My stupid half-brother is getting married in a week and his bride wants me to be the best-man." I blinked surprised.

"You have a brother?" Sesshomaru looked at me and let out a sigh. He sat down and I followed suit wondering if he was going to answer my question. I noticed that his face took on a serious look and I sat back bracing myself. Whatever he was going to tell me would obviously be something really important and highly private.

"Inuyasha is my half-brother." I stared at him wide-eyed not sure how to respond to his sudden statement. I should have seen that coming I thought. They had the same hair, same eyes- well almost same eyes. Sesshomaru's were a molten gold while Inuyasha's were slightly darker and resembled glossy amber. And they were both a little hard to hack at sometimes personality wise but I knew that I preferred the brother in front of me more.

"Kagome?" Sesshomaru prompted me out of my thoughts.

"It's just a little shocking," I admitted as I pieced together my thoughts, "you're so alike and different and it's…" I trailed off not being able to voice out what was in my head. I then remembered what he had stated when he walked in and decided to approach that topic. Yes, that was the safest option right now.

"Kikyo wants you to be the best-man?" He nodded. "What are you going to do?"

"I want to say no. Out of all the people in the world why did she have to choose me?" He stood up and began pacing. "I mean I don't even know her but I already dislike her."

"Dislike her?" I asked confused. What had made Sesshomaru dislike her?

"She betrayed you." He answered as he took a seat next to me. Neither of us said anything for a while and I bit my lip before deciding to say what was on my mind.

"Well, you know, it's okay if you say yes." I began knowing this was a delicate subject. "In fact just before you came I was thinking of whether or not to go to their wedding." I licked my lips before continuing with the idea that had suddenly come into my mind. "In fact, I think I'd like to go as your date."

I watched as Sesshomaru processed the information I had given him. It seemed that he wasn't sure of what to do. I had a feeling that part of him knew he had to go to the wedding because Inuyasha was family but it seemed he was rethinking the reasons he had to go.

"Are you sure?" he whispered silently after several minutes of contemplation.

"Yes," I answered much more affirmatively this time, "I think if I go I can finally put the feud from the betrayal to rest. Frankly, I'm tired of having to skirt around the issue all the time and I think this will be the perfect closure." We looked at each other and he seemed to read the sincerity in my eyes as he nodded soon after.

"All right then, I'll tell them I accept."

So what do you think? Thanks for reading and please review!
