A/N: Thank you for all the reviews! I love you guys so much hugs you all. Oh, and Sweet Ruby Moon-- I know, they are in Modern day Tokyo and this is an AU. I wasn't going to put the youkai-hanyou stuff but my friend insisted that I should o.o I was trying to find a way to incorporate it into the story but I don't know if I can so I might go edit that and take it out. I'm glad you were that observant though :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, because if I did, we all know Sesshoumaru and Kikyou would be together n.n

When Hazel Eyes Meet Golden
By Takari AAF

Chapter 3: Saving a Bellflower

The angry voice startled the distraught Kikyou. She looked up from Sesshoumaru's chest and saw the glowering face of the one and only Inuyasha. His golden eyes, so much like his elder brother's, were full of anger and hatred.

"What the fuck is going on here?" Inuyasha repeated, his voice louder than before.

Sesshoumaru's cold eyes bore into him. "There's no need to use such foul language, half-brother," he said, his voice devoid of any emotion or feeling.

"Shut up, Sesshoumaru! And get your hands off of her," he yelled, pointing a finger at Kikyou.

He raised an eyebrow at him. "Since when has this Sesshoumaru taken orders from you?" he remarked, his arms still around Kikyou.

"Since right now!" Inuyasha exclaimed. His eyes shifted to Kikyou. "What are you doing here with him? What's your problem? Are you crazy? You'd have to, to be here with him."

She turned her gaze to the ground, afraid that she would shed the fresh tears that were desperately trying to escape. His words stung her deeply.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl up against him. Her dark hair hung loosely around her now, hiding her face. Even though he didn't care for her that much, he still felt bad for her.

"That is enough, Inuyasha!" he ordered, his voice harsh and commanding.

"I never thought you'd be so desperate for a woman that'd you would go for my leftovers, Sesshoumaru. You won't like her. She wasn't my type and I don't think she is yours either" Inuyasha continued, rolling his eyes.

Kikyou couldn't take it anymore. Without saying a word, she pulled out of Sesshoumaru's arms and ran away. The tears flowed from her eyes as deep sobs came from her throat. I've never felt so unwanted in my life…

Sesshoumaru watched as her form became more and more distant. He turned his gaze back to Inuyasha, his piercing eyes staring right into his. He walked up closer to him and put his hand around his neck, his claws digging into him. "You are a disgrace, half-brother. I could kill you right here and now," he growled, his voice a harsh whisper. The two brothers' eyes were locked together. Sesshoumaru tightened his hold on his neck. Inuyasha clenched his fist, ready to hit.

"Inuyasha! What is going on?" a girl's voice asked, coming up from behind him.

Sesshoumaru instantly released him and stepped back as Inuyasha whirled around.

"Kagome!" he exclaimed in surprise when he saw her and her many shopping bags.

Kagome looked past him. "Who is your friend there?"

Inuyasha snorted. "That is no friend of mine," he muttered.

She looked up at him, puzzled. "Huh?"

"That is Sesshoumaru, my half-brother," he stated, his voice holding no emotion.

"You're Inuyasha's brother?" she asked, looking at Sesshoumaru.

"Half-brother," Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha growled at the same time.

Kagome waved her hand nonchalantly. "Oh whatever. I'm Kagome," she said, smiling at him. Wow… he certainly is hot! Quite possibly hotter than Inuyasha… I wouldn't mind getting to know him better…

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. "I have no time to try and remember all my brother's wenchs' names. As soon as I do, you'll get replaced and I'll have to remember another one," he said coldly.

"Hey! Don't talk to my girlfriend like that," Inuyasha yelled.

"Arguing with you is an utter waste of my time, half-brother," he said, walking past him.

Inuyasha took Kagome's hand. "Come on, let's go," he said, dragging her off in the opposite direction. She looked back at Sesshoumaru's fleeting figure. I hope I run into him again someday…

Kikyou slowed her hurried pace down to a casual walk. Using her right hand, she wiped the tears off her cheeks to make way for the fresh ones. She hated being like this. Crying was never something she did often. She could only remember two times in her 17 years that she had cried. Both times had been because of a death in the family, one being her father and the other her little sister. She had promised herself she'd never cry over a man and now here she was doing that exact thing.

"I feel so weak. I always thought I was so strong and confident, and now… now I don't think I ever was… was I?" she asked herself out loud.

She suddenly stopped and looked around her. She had been so busy thinking about what happened that she had paid no attention to where she was going. As her eyes gazed over the surroundings, she realized something. She was completely and utterly lost.

"Oh no, what am I going to do?"

She felt a presence near her.

"Hey sweet thing… I know what you can do," a husky voice said.

She turned around and saw a tall man with long dark hair covering his eyes. He smelled strongly of alcohol.

"Stay away from me," Kikyou said sternly, trying to hide the fear bubbling up inside of her.

"Ah, come on, baby. Don't act like you don't want me," he said, his words slurred.

Kikyou turned to run, when his hand grasped onto her arm tightly.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!" she screamed, yanking her arm. It did no good. His grasp tightened. He pushed her against the side of a building nearby.

"Mmmm… you look mighty nice to me," he said, running a hand up her side.

Kikyou flinched at his touch. She tried pushing him off but even in his drunken state, he was stronger.

"SOMEBODY HEL--" she started to scream but he cut off her words by slapping her. He moved his hands up her top, grabbing her breasts. "So nice," he murmured in her ear.

Kikyou started to sob. There was no hope. No one was around and she wasn't strong enough to get him off of her. Please just let me die…

Sesshoumaru ran a hand through his long silver hair. He'd been aimlessly walking around for a while now. He just couldn't get the raven-haired woman out of his mind.

Suddenly, a noise reached his ears.

"SOMEBODY HEL--"

He turned to his right, the direction from which it came. There was a certain familiarity in the tone of the voice. Kikyou. He sprinted off, going as fast as his legs would carry him. In a matter of moments, two figures appeared in his line of vision. He recognized Kikyou up against the wall. A man was pressed against her, trying to take her top off. She was shoving and kicking him, doing anything she could to get him away, but her efforts were obviously futile. He felt a deep anger boil up inside of him.

"You bastard!" he growled, going up and throwing the guy off of her. Kikyou fell to the ground, her body shaking.

"Hey man! What's your problem?" the man slurred.

"You're my problem," Sesshoumaru said, his voice full of anger. He slammed the guy into the building, his head hitting it hard.

Sesshoumaru went over to Kikyou and kneeled down next to her.

"Kikyou…" he said softly, gently moving the hair out of her face. "Are you alright?"

His only response was a small whimper before she passed out.

Sesshoumaru stood up and gathered the young woman in his arms.

"I guess I have no choice, but to take you back to my place with me," he sighed, going off into the direction of his place.

After what seemed like forever, his building came into view. His penthouse was on the top floor. He was extremely glad it was late at night so there would be no people roaming around in the lobby.

He stepped inside, went into the elevator, and up to his place. Once he got inside, he flipped on the lights and walked into his master bedroom. Kikyou still hadn't come to yet. He sighed and pulled back the covers. Sesshoumaru gently placed her on the silk sheets and pulled them up around her. The pale moonlight streaming through the windows caste an eerie glow on her slender body. Her hair shined and her skin looked smooth and translucent. He placed his hand on her cheek, immediately feeling the warmth radiate through him. He felt entranced by her. For many moments, he stared at her, his eyes never blinking. The clouds moving over the moon and blocking it's light, reminded him of where he was and what he was doing. He shook his head and got up, removing his hand from her smooth skin. He walked to the door and looked back at her one last time before going out and pulling the door to slightly behind him.
