A/N:I decided to put out two in a row because that last one was really short (and I had this one done already, so there!)

The next couple of days went by smoothly. Kagome convinced Inuyasha to tell Miroku and Sango about his real self, and they accepted him willingly. He was in ecstasy, never before had he been so openly accepted by people. He never thought something like this was possible. He started to forget about the potion. After all, if he was accepted, he didn't really need it.

"You know, I really like this movie, I don't care what people say about it," Kagome said, her eyes fixed on the screen.

Inuyasha stared at her, transfixed. He wrapped his arms tighter around her and lightly kissed her neck.

Suddenly the door flew open, scaring the wits out of the two of them. Sessho-maru stood there, staring at the two of them with blazing eyes.

"Hey, Sessho-maru…?" Kagome said, meekly.

He smiled at her, a weird smile, then returned his gaze onto his brother.

"D-did you find her?" Inuyasha asked, starting to get nervous. He had never seen Sessho-maru look this way before.

Sessho-maru bound over to Inuyasha and gripped his collar, pulling him up from the couch and 3" off the floor.

"Geez bro! What's your issue!?!" Inuyasha shouted, his demon temper boiling.

Kagome stood there watching, too shocked or scared to interfere.

"Sessho-maru? I think you should just- just calm down…and relax. We can talk over whatever's bugging you, just-put Inuyasha down and come sit by me on the couch, okay?" she couldn't hid e the fear in her voice.

He looked over at her and his eyes softened. For a minute he was hopeful that he would listen to her, but he spoke in a calm voice, "I can't do that. I've been planning this for a long time. Now that it's finally happening, I can't back out. He must suffer."

"Why?! Why the hell are you doing this?! Put me down you bastard and fight like a man!"

"Why should I? You have taken everything away from me! My life, my home, even my love! You always act like such a perfect person, you're 'such a gentleman.' But mom and dad never saw you for what you really were. A fake! They thought their perfect son was so wonderful. Bull shit!

"For so long I've waited for this to happen. But it wouldn't have been possible with mom and dad there. Would it? Would it?!" He shook Inuyasha then threw him on the ground. Images raced in Inuyasha's head. They never did find the cause of his parent's death. 'A car crash' they had called it. 'An unexplained tragedy.' Heat boiled inside him. His own brother, his flesh and blood had killed their parents to fulfill some selfish, self-righteous act of revenge.

"Lemme break things down for your simple mind. I took care of mom and dad, got a secluded cabin in the middle of nowhere, bonded with you to gain your trust. Then, you took something else from me, Kagome. I love her and you just take her away with out respecting my feelings. So, I stopped giving you your little potion."

"You left me here to keep me from seeing Kagome."

"Very good, but you were too daring, so I had to show her who you really were, what a monster you really are."

"The branch, you wanted her to see me in my true form. You were counting on her being terrified of me. Then when she came to you upset about me, you'd comfort her and sway her to like you."

"I misjudged you, little brother, you're smarter than you look."

"You forgot one thing, Kagome's too good for you."

Sessho-maru kicked him in the gut. Inuyasha gasped for air and clutched his stomach.

"You bastard. Coward!"

Sessho-maru laughed a deep laugh that made the hairs on Kagome's neck raise.

"Is that your defense? Name calling? I'm hurt. "He laughed some more, Kagome retreated to a corner and sank to the floor.

He brought up his foot and kicked Inuyasha in the gut again, harder this time. Then he reached down, grabbed a handful of his hair and p8unched him in the face, making sickening thud noises. Sessho-maru dropped Inuyasha's hair and smiled to himself when it made a satisfying crack noise as it hit the floor.

Inuyasha coughed, blood speckled the floor.

Sessho-maru strode over to Kagome, bent down and took her face in his hands forcing her to look into his eyes.

"Leave-leave her alone," Inuyasha said weakly through gasps. Sessho-maru lackadaisically lifted his arm and a neon green ropelike thing shot from his fingertips, jolting Inuyasha. He lay on the floor twitching as the current sped through him. Sessho-maru finally stopped when Inuyasha lay still.

"Look at your boyfriend now, Kagome. Is that wimp really someone you want to be with? He can't even protect himself, let alone you. You deserve a real man, Kagome. Have you ever been with a real man? Answer me!" She sobbed and slowly shook her head.

"Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time. Just you and me, forever. I love you Kagome, you're perfect," he whispered in her ear, his hot breath on her neck. She was shaking all over and trying to hold in tears and she watched Inuyasha lie helplessly on the floor.

'No…"she whispered, the tears finally falling and soaking her face and shirt. Sessho-maru nuzzled her neck and started kissing up her face. His kiss was foreign and rough compared to Inuyasha's gentle touch. Sessho-maru was rushed and painful. She didn't want this, she didn't want to be here, she just wanted to get away, to hide away with Inuyasha somewhere. She let her mind wander, to escape from what was happening to her. She looked at Inuyasha's form on the floor and concentrated on good memories with him, trying to ignore the tugging on her clothes and the sticky breath on her skin.

Suddenly the tugging and grunting stopped. She could feel Sessho-maru leave and stand up. Slowly he walked over to his brother. For a moment he stared down at him, then raised his foot to kick him again. Just as he was about to, an arm grabbed his leg with lightning fast speed, and threw him to the ground, knocking the wind out of him.

Inuyasha was on his feet glaring down at his brother with hatred. Sessho-maru, with fear in his eyes, looked at his brother in disbelief.

"Burn in hell," was all that Inuyasha said, through clenched teeth.

"Please, brother, "Sessho-maru pleaded.

With one swipe of his claws, Inuyasha shredded his traitorous brother.

Kagome whimpered in the corner, and Inuyasha's head snapped in her direction.

He leapt over to her, and in midair his eyes changed from blood red, to gold.

He landed right in front of her and wrapped his arms around her protectively. "I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry…" he whispered, crying for her.

He pulled away a bit and put his forehead to hers. "This never should have happened. Not to you…Kagome…whatever he did…don't blame yourself….You're not a bad person and didn't deserve this. God! I'm so sorry, Kagome!"

She sobbed even harder and grabbed his waist. She held on to him and cried for a long time.

When she had calmed down, she looked at Inuyasha again. "Are you okay?" she asked.

He smiled and brushed the hair from her eyes, "Yeah, now that you're okay I am."

"What happened back there? I was so scared. You were …different…"

"I went full demon. I guess my desire to save you caused me to go full demon."

They sat in silence for a moment.

"You know, I always hated coming up here." Kagome said, laughing for the first time all night.

Inuyasha laughed too, relieved. He kissed her forehead, a gentle kiss much overdue.

"I love you, Kagome," Inuyasha said, blushing slightly.

"I love you too, so much," Kagome said leaning in and kissing him. She knew right away that this was how it was supposed to be.
