Last Time:That day he had gone into his mother's room and carefully removed all of her make-up against her wishes. He had discovered dark purple bruises, some still bleeding through.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So he was weak enough to let somebody take over his body… You're a weak half-breed, no matter how much you try to make up for it with strenght."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"She's in her room. Sleeping. She had a strong argument with Morisato. She threatened to purify balls. I dare say she was serious. I, Sesshomaru, had to threaten our father."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well before we do anything about that we're going to go through extensive psychology!"
On with it, yes?
"Mother, please. I beg you. Psychology is for couples! We are not couples! We are bitter enemies!"
"Don't you 'enemy' me. We'll all be lovely friends sipping tea by the time I'm done with you!"
Kagome shook in anger. She didn't need this. She needed to rid her body of an extra soul! She really wasn't an impatient person, but InuYasha made her angry beyond comprehension. She needed to be alone and him being inside of her was not permitting that.
"I don't give a damn if you want us to watch fucking Barney all night long! I want him out, out, out!"
InuYasha stopped, his thoughts completely frozen. His mom stared at Kagome as if she was growing vampire fangs. Kagome growled at her, red in fury.
"What are you waiting for?! I want out now! You know how, tell me now!"
"I-I… Yes, but-"
"Now!"'"If you don't get him into his body, then I will force him out."
"Only a miko can do that."
"Who do you think I am? You saw the wall."
"I did that."
"Fine then. Did you fix it?"
"Yes," said InuYasha's mother completely confused.
"Fix this."
Kagome raised her hand and her wrist snapped up and the wall of the beautiful mansion was blown away. The debris scattered and was blown back. Kagome's hospital gown fluttered and she stepped in between the nails and such.
"Fix it. Get him out of my body. Now."
The lady stood agape, not knowing where to start. She waved her hand and the wall started to repair itself. She hurried after Kagome's disappearing figure.
Sesshomaru quietly left, keys in hand. He knew exactly what to do. As much as he hated his brother he couldn't let some maniac run around in his body. That would be awful for his mother, and for the girl he was currently in. The wench disliked his brother as much as he himself did. The wench was like no other. Powerful, like his mother, and with a determination that competed with his own. Yes, she was a suitable mate for a demon. Naraku would definitely want to get his hands on her, so mabey it was he who had taken over InuYasha's body. Then, why wouldn't he do it himself? He had shape-shifting abilities didn't he? He pondered that as he opened the car door. Something was going horribly wrong… He grabbed his cell phone, which was currently ringing.
"Moshi moshi, Morisato Sesshomaru speaking."
"Hey Sessho. It's InuYasha."
"Oh, hello little brother. What's going on?"
"I'm on my way home. Have you heard from Kagome? One of her friends is with me… Some guy…"
"As a matter of fact…"
"Kagome calm down! If you don't calm down then we can't fix this!"
"Morisato-sama we aren't going anywhere because you yourself just said that we need his body!"
"Well, obviously the soul needs to go back to his body! It can't just float around!"
"And why the hell not?"
Kagome sighed. She wasn't usually so aggressive. But knowing that somebody was trying to attack her was making her nervous, and the fact that InuYasha was inside of her invading her privacy made her even more angry and stressed. Therefore the equation equaled her angry and aggressive. She started breathing deeply. She started to feel dizzy and simply fell while the lady spoke in hurried whispers.
"Kagome! No, Kagome, no get up!"
InuYasha immediately took over and groggily got up. Not one glance at his mother. He slowly walked up the stairs to his room.
She looked after him, defeatedly. Nothing she could truly do for him. He had to gain her on his own.
He lay on his bed, curled up in a ball. His balcony doors were open, the wind silently caressed her body which he currently occupied. She hated him so much… It hurt more than he though possible.
~I never knew that this much pain could be felt… I feel like dying… So unwanted… How can I let her now that I'm more than just the attitude? I'm not my father, I never will be. His actions have immediately been passed down to me. All I need is her… All I need is her warmth next to me… Instead I am inside of her. I have found out that while other girls drool over me day in and day out she doesn't. She carries on with her life and ignores me. I need to find a way to leave her be… To live with my feelings and sort them out. Somehow I have a feeling she isn't going to return them anytime soon, if at all.~
Sesshomaru watched as InuYasha got out of a taxi. He paid the man while another young man got out of the taxi. They both walked up to Sesshomaru and smiled. InuYasha smiling warmly was making him sick, and the other guy was a puny human.
"Puny human. You bother me with your presence. Begone, do not EVER find yourself straying from your true position. You are below me, you are below Kagome. Leave, your presence is unwanted."
Hojo's smile faded as he walked past Sesshomaru into the mansion. InuYasha frowned at Sesshomaru, and he growled in return. InuYasha shrugged.
"So, Kagome is here right?"
"Yes."
"Well then, I must go see her."
Before InuYasha could get to the door Sesshomaru slammed him down hard onto the pavement. His claws were dangerously close to the hanyou's face. He growled menacingly and for once he saw fear and bewilderment in his eyes.
"You are not InuYasha. For one, he hates my guts. Two, he would never EVER worry for anybody. Three, he would never call me brother. If you want to take over a body do it right. Idiot. Sesshomaru knocked him out easily and flung the body over his shoulder. He walked up the stairs, Hojo gaping at him.
He entered the room where his mother was currently in. She was in tears and as soon as she saw Inuyasha's body she started wailing. Sesshomaru growled and she quieted down instantly. She quickly scurried out, Sesshomaru following her. They entered InuYasha's room. For once in it's entire existance nothing was thrown on the floor, nothing was obscurely out of place. Strange. Sesshomaru dropped InuYasha's body and Kagome's figure instantly popped up under the covers. She turned around to see the body on the floor. It was time.
Kagome lay down next to the unconcious body of the soul inside of her. Sesshomaru's mother swiftly stepped to her side. Kagome suddenly realized she didn't know her name. From 'dear' to 'mother' she hadn't asked. She quickly forgot about her question when she started to chant.
Souls that quiver,
Lives that prevail.
Take them where they belong
Right what is wrong.
Like an endless river,
Like a wive's veil.
Everything shall be different,
Yet normal.
Let them reunite with their true bodies,
For all is lost and forlorn as long as they are ignorant.
May you help them
Goddess of the Shikon.
I Morisato Sakura Marianna plead of you.
~So that's her name…~
Those were Kagome's last thoughts before pain filled her very being. She screamed out as his soul was slowly ripped from her body. She regretted her every word, the pain was unbearable and she felt weak. Her fingertips felt the last of his soul leave and return to his body. Her eyes, still open, saw the black soul forced out. She summoned her staff and sliced through it in one deft motion. Dead. She dropped, dead tired.
~*Elsewhere*~
He watched as the body lay limp on the floor, eyes staring into nothingness.
"Useless, completely useless."
He kicked the body hard in anger, he smirked and nodded at the men. They quickly dragged the body out of the room. They would keep trying. The girl couldn't be invincible. She would be his, one way or another. If he couldn't lead her to him, then who could? He chuckled evily as he gazed at the beautiful woman in red silk that lay, seemingly asleep, on an altar before him. She would help him greatly with her powers.
Kagome zipped up her leather jacket and tied her shoe laces. She quickly grabbed her keys and cell and left the room. The phone rang and she answered it as she exited the condominium.
"Hello?"
"Kagome? We're waiting at Starbucks."
"Great. I'll be having the usual."
"Today we have to investigate the new Caché company. We're after their plans."
"Alright."
Kagome had stayed in New York. Her family was still being threatened and she truly didn't have a choice. Hojo had unwittingly pissed off Sesshomaru and he was also forced into slavery. She was treated much better than him, obviously. He had a small apartment as far away from the company headquarters as possible. Everybody picked on him and Kagome couldn't help but laugh sometimes. He was as clueless as they all said behind his back. It had been about a year since Kagome had last seen InuYasha. Sesshomaru was the only one that ever stopped by the headquarters and make his presence known. Papers flew, the rooms were unusually quiet, and Rin was ecstatic. Kagome just carried on, unless of course Sesshomaru wanted to speak with her. Sometimes he would assign her important jobs. Morisato, Sesshomaru's father, had been succesfully ruined by his oldest son. Sesshomaru, however, proved to be a bit worse. Of course, if you stayed out of his way you would be alright. Everybody was thankful for that.
Kagome smiled unconciously as a limo drove up next to her. The dark window slid open.
"Get in Kagome."
Kagome stopped and turned around to see Sesshomaru's extremely serious face. She frowned at him.
"I have a car Sesshomaru."
"Now. This is important."
Kagome sighed and got into the luxurious car. As soon as the door closed the limo was in motion again.
"So, what is your problem?"
"My younger brother is a sulking blob and is refusing to eat. He's been like this for a month now."
"What?"
"We've been forcing him to eat for a year now. Now he refuses to let anybody into his room at all. Not even mother."
"Lady Sakura must be extremely upset."
"You are quite sharp. Mother wants you to snap him out of it."
Kagome sighed. She felt something indescribable for InuYasha. She didn't want to dig up old feelings. The past was the past, right? InuYasha certainly didn't feel that way about her anyways. She had worked constantly ignoring the pain inside other that said to go back. She couldn't go back, she couldn't.
"Are you sure you're asking the right person?"
"You forget who you're talking to. I don't make mistakes. Remember that."
Kagome gazed questioningly at him as the limo came to a stop in front of Starbucks. She still found it rather strange how he knew where she was going at all times. She got off and closed the door. She sighed and went in to meet the guys.
InuYasha rocked back and forth in the sea of blankets that surrounded him. Everything was dark, not a thing could be seen. Constant knocking from a worried mother resounded through the mansion and the room. He ignored it, just as he did everything else. Everything made no sense, and he didn't have a life. His body was lifeless, his soul was empty of it's liveliness. He went from an arrogant junior to a dark senior. He was home schooled by ladies that were constantly running out of his room in terror. Other than that nobody was let in. All lights were off in his presence. The sun was shunned into not shining. A dark cloud had settled over his life and it wasn't going away.
A year in darkness and it was ongoing. There as no way he could be revived. He was long dead and the world around him was dead. His hair lay still, as long as ever. It trailed across the pillows behind him. He continued to rock back and forth, with no real purpose. There was no such thing as purpose in his life anymore. The very life had been sucked out of him because of her. Because of words that had hurt. Because they had gone their separate ways.
~*Alright! Wohoo! That was a long one! They went their separate ways. InuYasha turned into a dark purposeless blob and Kagome turned into a sneaky agent wanting more and more out of work. How will this affect them? How will this affect an angry mob after me?*~
