Author's Note: Hello again! Alright. I'd like to apologize for getting this chapter out this late. I usually like to do two chapters a day but my body decided it wouldn't right until I had appeased it's sudden desire for a pineapple smoothie (Which I might add was full of rich tasty goodness but that's not the point) I however realize I shouldn't substitute updating for smoothing outings as my "friends" pointed out to me. And when I say pointed out I mean they yelled at and berated me -.-' And so to make up for the lapse, and to keep them from coming after me with pitchforks and torches, I will do an interview with the character you love then hate then love again, Sesshomaru. And you guys get to ask the questions. I have 3 requests:

1. Is that you email them to me instead of posting them in reviews. You don't have to email them but sometimes the reviews don't show up or I get them confused and I may not receive your question.

2. One question per person please, I may have no life but I still am on a smoothie binge and would like a chance at another outing.

3. Please have all questions in by the time chapter 20 (Which will be the last or second to last chapter) is up.

The interview will be an extra chapter after the credits I usually do after I've written a long story. Thank you for your attention. I new return you to your reading pleasure.

Sesshomaru was angry. He wasn't just angry, he was furious. Not at that girl however, not even at his brother. He was angry with himself...because he was confused. Another foreign emotion introduced by that damn girl. And at the same time he didn't even understand why he was confused. He'd explained it to her despite his better judgment that she didn't have any claim on the memories of his past. And he'd set her straight on where they stood. Then why did he feel so guilty still? Why did he feel as if he'd left something undone?

"My lord!" Sesshomaru looked up as Ryunosuke dashed around the castle towards where he stood on the edge of the gardens.

Sesshomaru lifted an eyebrow at the demon. "What is it?"

"It's your half brother Lord Sesshomaru! He's here demanding to know where the Lady Kagome is. He's tearing apart the courtyard. He says he's going to take her back."

Sesshomaru felt a flicker of annoyance. Not the triumph or even amusement he had expected to feel at his brother's anger but mild apprehension. He let none of it show however and resumed walking, moving right past Ryunosuke without looking at him again.

"My courtyard." He made his way around the castle slowly. He wasn't returning Kagome. She belonged to him now.

Ryunosuke had lied. Inuyasha wasn't tearing apart the courtyard he was desecrating it. His brother had clawed through carts and stands and shrubbery in the yard. Everything that had once stood that could be destroyed was nothing but rubble and dust now. And his brother had yet to un-sheath the Tetsusaiga. At least Inuyasha could throw a tantrum well enough.

"Calm yourself brother. Your quarrel is with me."

Inuyasha rounded on him and snarled. "Where is she Sesshomaru? If she's hurt there won't even be pieces left of you for anyone to find." He half brother cracking a clawed hand loudly.

"The Lady Kagome is safe enough." Sesshomaru said ignoring the threat.

"The Lady Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned, tone mocking. "Just what are you getting at Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru lifted an eyebrow. "I've taken the human girl...as my mate and my wife Inuyasha."

Inuyasha froze in shock and stared at him wide eyed then snarled suddenly. "You're lying. You hate humans. Where is she!? Bring her out right now!"

"I'm right here Inuyasha."

Sesshomaru tilted her chin up slightly to hide the chill that washed over him for a moment. He'd assumed she had returned inside the castle and that Togai would have enough sense to keep her inside there. Apparently one of his assumptions was wrong and Sesshomaru had the sneaking suspicious that it was the second.

Kagome took a few steps closer. "And he's not lying. I am his wife."

Kagome's heart had wrenched at seeing Inuyasha. She'd known he would come for her, had never doubted it. And yet she hadn't expected to be disappointed somehow when he came. And at the same time she knew it was for the better. She couldn't stay here. Not when she had to live knowing she meant nothing to Sesshomaru then something he could lord over Inuyasha.

And even as much as she loved Sesshomaru now she still loved Inuyasha somehow. And she wouldn't have him hurt for no reason anymore then she'd let herself be used for no reason. If she went with Inuyasha then the only heart that would break would be her own. And she could live with that.

And so she walked past Sesshomaru quietly without looking up at him, head lowered slightly so her hair fell across her cheek to shade her face so even if she flickered an involuntary glance in his direction she'd still see nothing. So she wouldn't see the annoyance or loathing or, even worse, the indifference on his face.

So she wouldn't remember each time she wanted to laugh when he seemed to become so surly as her defying him. So she wouldn't go back to the surprised look he got when she stole a kiss or the way he kissed her back. So she wouldn't think of that instant where he'd held her against his chest and she'd felt the laugh that rumbled through him. So she wouldn't remember she loved him.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha rushed forward to grab her arm and he pulled her against him and wrapped folded her into a huge. "I was worried. You idiot." He murmured softly.

And Kagome felt like crying because she had betrayed him. And even if she went with him she'd still be betraying him because part of her heart would stay here. It would be dead but still it would be here all the same.

"Inuyasha." She said quietly and he leaned back to look down at her. "What he said...it's true. I am his wife."

Inuyasha's eyes snapped with surprise. "No! But Sesshomaru hates humans."

Kagome nodded. "Yes. I know. But...we were married anyway and..." Kagome blushed.

Inuyasha deserved to know everything. He'd risked his life to come and save her and it was obvious he had been worried. She could tell by he tell tale signs of exhaustion in his face. The little quirks that appeared when he pushed himself too hard. All for her. And he served to know what had happened.

She didn't have to say it however. Because he guessed.

"Kagome." He growled lowly. "Did he touch you?" Kagome nodded once then gasped in surprise as Inuyasha shoved her behind him, turning to face Sesshomaru again and unsheathed the Tetsusaiga in one, easy motion "You bastard!"

And he attacked.
