Wonder what Sesshomaru wants with Kikyou?

Sesshomaru: Are you implying I have some sort of infatuation with Kikyou?

Well Sesshomaru you wanted to see her remember...

Sesshomaru: silence...just get on with the story.


A limo came to get Kikyou and Inuyasha to their surprise Kouga was inside. They sat down on the opposite side of him. He offered them some wine, which they both declined.

"Why are you here?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Oh come on you don't think I would miss this do you."

Kikyou had been wondering for awhile about what Sesshomaru wanted. She couldn't exactly say that they were friends. She had only meet him a few times. What could he possibly have to talk to her about. So many unanswered questions.

"Kouga, are you sure he didn't tell you why he wants to see me."

"Nope sorry Kikyou, I have no idea what he wants."

The limo pulled up to the most gorgeous house Kikyou had ever seen. Kouga led the way up to his house. Sesshomaru stood in the living room waiting for them. He had his back turned to them, but he felt his brothers presence.

"Ah, Inuyasha how good it is to see you."

"Yea whatever, I see your still alive."

"I heard about what happened to you, that is most unfortunate."

Inuyasha didn't like the tone of Sesshomaru's voice. It was almost like he knew something, about what happened all those years ago. Just then Kikyou entered the room and Sesshomaru quickly turned his attention to her. He walked over to her leaving a kiss on her hand.

"Kikyou, how wonderful it is to see you again."

"Sesshomaru yes it is nice to see you again."

Inuyasha was doing his best to keep his jealousy and anger under control. Only by the request of Kikyou, she had asked him to try and stay calm. Kouga entered the room a few minutes later. He of course would not miss this for the world. If he knew Inuyasha it was only a matter of time before he blew a fuse. Sesshomaru had always been the calmest of the two.

"Kikyou, shall we go talk privately."

Inuyasha did not like how he said the word privately. It was starting to put several ideas in his head. Ideas that should never involve Kikyou and his brother. But before he could say anything Sesshomaru was already leading Kikyou away. So now it was just him and Kouga.

"How long is this gonna take?"

"Hey I don't know. I'm only the messenger this is Sesshomaru's house after all."

Inuyasha just sighed in defeat and sat in the chair. If Sesshomaru dared place a hand of Kikyou, then he would have no choice to retaliate. All that calmness would be thrown out of the window. He would not be held responsible for his actions then.


Kikyou soon found herself in his study. He told her to sit down which she did. He sat on the opposite side of the desk, Kikyou wondered what would happen next.

"Kikyou I need to ask you a favor?"

"Alright, what is it?"

"I've heard about how brilliant you are. You could be a top scientist if you wanted too do so. I want you to work at my science lab. Kikyou you'll be one of the head scientist there, you wouldn't even have to wait until you finish college. It will all be right there waiting for you."

This was all very flattering and unexpected. But at the same time, it was all very questionable. Why did he want to help her? They only met a few times, why did he find it necessary to help her.

"Sesshomaru, I don't understand."

'What don't you understand Kikyou, enlighten me."

She watched as he moved closer to her.

"I don't know why you are making all these things available to me. Why would you even want to help me."

To her surprise he pulled her to him, and sent his lips crashing down on hers. Kikyou opened her eyes wide in shock, and soon pulled herself away from him.

"I've waited a long time to do that Kikyou."

The shock still had not left her face he tried to walk towards her. But she moved back some. There was no way he would just kiss her and not explain. He sure had a lot of explaining to do right now.

"Explain that now Sesshomaru."

"Why Kikyou, since when is it a crime to kiss the one you love."


Inuyasha began to get extremely restless, Kouga had passed out with the bottle of wine next to him. Inuyasha decided to just go upstairs and see things for himself. The scene before him felt extremely tense and awkward. He walked passed Sesshomaru and went over to Kikyou."

"Kikyou, are you alright."

"Inuyasha, I think we should go."

He thought that she would never want to leave. He took her by the hand and decided now it was time to go. They did not get very far because Sesshomaru stopped them.

"You dear brother may leave, but I'm afraid Kikyou will have to stay here."

"What? Like hell she will. Over my dead body."

Sesshomaru unsheathed Tokijin and placed the sword up to his neck.

"That can be arranged. Kikyou remains here, she belongs with me."
