"Oh Sango, I don't know what to do!" Kagome cried into her friends arms, explaining the entire night to her best friend.
"Oh Kagome..." Sango sighed, holding her best friend and rubbing her back with slow circles. She would find these two brothers and give them a piece of her mind...
"I just... I don't know why I went with them! I guess I was so angry at Sesshomaru... and they were just so nice... and I can't believe I agreed to wear this stupid thing!" Kagome grasped at the outfit she was still wearing, angry at herself and wanting to die.
Inuyasha had taken her to Sango's after she collapsed, making sure that she would be alright and informing Sango that he was going to try and talk to his brother about everything. Sango agreed, taking the girl into custody and immediatly laying her to bed. Boy were things messed up now.
"Kagome, listen, give him a few days... he's just upset, Inuyasha is trying to calm him down."
Kagome looked to her best friend in the world and smiled. She knew Sesshomaru would never forgive her and she knew he probably thought she was a slut.
...could you blame him though?
It was all messed up, and she wasn't sure she could fix it this time.
"Sango... I'm always so careful, I'm always making reservations and setting up meetings and I run my own business... yet here I am, looking like a complete slut crying in your arms because I was too careless and went to a dance club with a complete stranger. I'm always the careful one... I'm always the one holding you up. I never thought I would do something this stupid. I don't blame him if he doesn't want me anymore... I'm just so scared of losing something I never really had."
Sango almost cried at her friends confession. She was right, though. Kagome was the steady one in their relationship. She was the one with the Ben and Jerry's ice cream, holding the spoon out with a smile. This time though, it was Kagome who was wearing the sweat pants stuffing her face, not the other way around.
"Kagome, listen to me. Sesshomaru knows you didn't sleep with either one of them, and he knows what type of person you are. He's mad now, yeah, but give him a little while to cool down and he'll see straight. He'll know what you did wasn't to make him angry and he'll know that you were pressured. You just got to give him time, honey, that's all."
Kagome looked to her best friend and snuffled, jumping to her friends open arms.
"Sango!" Kagome wailed, crying her eyes out in her best friends arms.
"Kagome..."
"Sesshomaru, chill out!"
"How can I when that... that whore is playing me like this? You, little brother, have no right to tell me how to feel!"
"You have no right to go around acting like you know exactly what happened, Sesshomaru! For all you know Kagome could have been kidnapped and forced there against her will!"
"She seemed more than happy with that man, or did you not notice as she laughed with him? He must be just marvelous at holding her against her will." Sesshomaru spat at Inuyasha, turning his back and walking back up the stairs.
"Maybe if you were more up front about your feelings you wouldn't of forced her onto the street to be picked up by a stranger!"
In an instant Sesshomaru was at his brothers throat, lifting him at full arms length away from him.
"You would do well to hold your tongue, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru's voice growled, his eyes bleeding red.
"I ain't holding shit, Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha barked back, grasping at his brothers hand with his own claws.
"What in the world is going on?!" Inutaisho yelled, stepping between his sounds and sending out a wave of his youki, effectively pushing the brothers apart.
"Father, this is none of your concern!" Sesshomaru growled, facing his father with red eyes.
"Pop, just leave! I've got this under cont-"
"No you obviously don't! Would either of you be able to tell me why Sango phone me but an hour ago and told me that Kagome is bawling her eyes out about being almost KILLED by one of my children?!"
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were at a loss for words. What do you say to a father who normally makes no sense, but is suddenly so angry that the Earth starts shaking?
"Sesshomaru, I have an idea that you've got something to do with this. You better fix things with that girl, and you better do it NOW."
"I think you've mistaken me for someone else, father, for you're under the delusion that I will actually obey your orders."
"Oh really now? That's odd, because if I remembered correctly, you were my son, making me alpha of this pack. You wouldn't cross the alpha now, would you?"
Sesshomaru said nothing, for he was proven wrong. There was no crossing your alpha, no matter what. He resigned his argument for another night and headed upstairs, thinking about the woman who stabbed him in the back and the family who meant nothing to him.
This was what happened when you gave your heart out to someone.
A shadow sat at his desk, chuckling as he watched through a mirror the events unraveling before him.
"Hojo, what are you doing?" Came the voice of his lover, as she walked up to him wrapped in silken sheets.
"Just making sure my investments did their job... it was decent of you to tell me of your cousins, Kagura, they are very good."
"Hmm, I guess so. Are you coming back to bed though? My brother will be home soon."
"I will be there in a moment. I want to watch for just a minute longer." His eyes bore into the bewitched mirror, watching with intent as he watched the taiyoukai and the miko fall apart.
He would have his revenge... he would make their lives a living hell, and catch them at their weakest point.
