Well well well another chapter. It feels like I just updated a couple days
ago, but according to ff.net it was more like a couple weeks ago. So, so
sorry, so sad, read on.
Disclaimer: I disclaim Inuyasha. (I haven't done that in a while.)

Sesshomaru rubbed his temples, trying to massage the thought of Kagome out of his mind. When did I start to care about what she does? He picked up a book and tried to concentrate on studying, a challenge when he knew she was just downstairs, a small stroll for him to be able to see her. He angrily slammed the book shut.
"This is ridiculous," he said to his room. She's not a stunning beauty, she has nothing about her that was even remotely attractive! Then why can't you stop thinking about her? The truthful voice inside his head reminded him. He shook it, silver hair swaying, trying to clear his mind.
"I'll go find her," he vocalized, trying to assure himself aloud that he had no feelings for her. Talking to myself?, he thought, frowning, Something is wrong with me?
.......................................................................................................................................
Okay, so maybe Kikyo was right. She did have feelings for Inuyasha, and it took the thought of losing him to realize it. He was, after all, the one who was always there for her when she needed it, even more so than Sango. It was the right thing to do though, and that's why she did it. Wasn't it? Or was she trying to make him choose? He and Kikyo had a lot of history, was she trying to prove that she was the one he preferred? Was she that transparent? It didn't even matter in the end, he would probably never speak to her again.
Kagome gulped back a sob. Not like anyone would hear her, way up here. The library she had ran to after what had happened.
......................................................................................................................................
"Inuyasha, I think there's someone you need to talk to," Kagome began, as Kikyo stepped out of the shadows. Inuyasha's eyes narrowed and Sango slipped away silently.
"Why are you here," it was more an accusation than a question and his voice was eerily devoid of any inflection. Kikyo recoiled with tears in her eyes.
"It was a lie," she blurted out. "Naraku started that rumor that got together. I swear to you, I could never do that to you, Inuyasha! Please, please believe me!"
Kikyo was sobbing, but Inuyasha stood coldly aloof.
"Why should I? What proof do you have?"
"Well...none, really. I..." she faltered.
"I see, you just expect me to believe you," he said icily. "Who are you trying to fool, Kikyo?"
"Inuyasha? I can't believe you would be so cruel! She was just..." Kagome began indignantly, but she was rudely interrupted.
"Fuck you! You don't know what the hell you're talking about Kagome! This has nothing to do with you!"
The shock showed on her face. He turned around.
"Everyone, Get out of my house! Now!" he faced the weeping Kikyo and the stunned Kagome.
"Everyone," he repeated, in a deadly whisper.
.......................................................................................................................................
Sesshomaru walked around his eerily silent house. Only moments ago, the pool was filled with young idiots, shouting and carousing. His brow furrowed in confusion as he crossed the pool deck to return inside the house. Even Inuyasha was absent.
Sesshomaru ascended the stairs and walked through the main corridor. The muffled sounds of weeping reached his ears as he passed by the half-opened door of the library. It was her. Sesshomaru breathed a little more heavily, and yet did not even notice.
"Kagome," he said, his voice rough. "What are you doing?"
It was dark in the library, but he could see the shadow of her sitting on a leather armchair. He thought the sniffle was the only reply he would receive, but she followed with her voice.
"Nothing. I mean....me and Inuyasha got into an argument. I....don't really want to talk to him right now, so I'm......I was going to....." She trailed off, finally realizing that she made no sense whatsoever.
"Do you need me to take you home?" he asked. She looked at him and nodded gratefully, and he could see that her eyes were still wet with tears.
.........................................................................................................................................
Sesshomaru lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, with his hands underneath his head. Thinking.
........................................................................................................................................ (Flashback)
The ride to Kagome's house was silent. She was not ready to tell him what had happened and Sesshomaru was not interested at the moment. He wanted to prevent another deluge of tears; besides, he would learn from Inuyasha anyways.
They arrived and he got out of the car to open her door. She sat in the bucket seat for a few moments and then rose abruptly. Her sapphire eyes met his amber gaze, both their expressions solemn. Her tiny hand reached around to the base of his head, right where it met his neck, and she pulled his face down to hers. Pulled his lips down to hers.
Sesshomaru didn't know who broke away. He just remembered her touching her lips, turning and running up to her door. This girl.......his thoughts trailed off as he mimicked her actions and felt his own lips. He sighed and rolled over, mentally reminding himself to 'talk' to Inuyasha tomorrow.
........................................................................................................................................
Well it's a shorter chappie, but I figured with some drama and fluff you guys wouldn't kill me. When I started this story I had a clear ending for the plot, but when Amreld complained in their review that I could not end the story after a few chapters, I realized that no I couldn't. I had put too many things in that wouldn't be able to be resolved in 2 or 3 chapters. Plus I read the story through and it seemed to go way, way, way too fast. So, disregard that last author's comment for now and I suppose the story will end itself in time.
