Here's your next chapter. Hopefull you'll be able to actually read it. I know that everyone isn't reading it, just by looking at my reviews! Listen to me complain...

Chapter Seven: Unwanted Truth

He doesn't know Kagome, and he doesn't want to bump into me. Perhaps he's going to poison my food? Then why would he care for the name of who got out of prison? I bite my lip before my eyes widen. No, that's not... That can't be right. It shouldn't be right. The world is such a small place, and I feel as though I'm trapped out of it. He's trying to avoid me, but there's something else he's planning.

I get in my car and quickly start the ignition. If I turned the key any faster, it'd break off. I drive to the bank quickly. She won't be there yet, so I won't be able to tell her. I walk up to the bank and pull out around $300. I get back in my car, trying to calm down. I take a few deep breathes before I drive over to the office. This will confirm whether or not I'm right.

I just hope I'm not.

I park the car in front of the building and pull my keys from the ignition. I unlock the door then walk in, taking note that there are a few lights on. The firm is closed on Fridays, since everyone enjoys having this day off. I look towards my office and walk in. My door is unlocked, which isn't right.

On my desk is a running computer (which I had turned off) and a few scattered files. I look through the files, all of them being on women. There are only a few out, since I only have a few female clients. It's not common to work for the opposite gender in trials.

I see the files for Hanajima, Uosaki, and Higurashi. The files are scattered everywhere and I have to organize them. I look at my computer, reading the things on the computer. There's my document that says that Kagome was going to be released today.

I look at the AOL Instant Messenger on my computer. He didn't put that crap on there. I open it, staring at the screen name. DogEaredPrince50 is the username. Gee, that's obvious. I'm going to kill him. I put the files away and turn off my computer. I leave the office, locking everything up. I walk to one of the rooms with the lights on and see Rin there, filing.

"Rin, why are you working on a day when the office is closed?" I ask her as I get closer. Rin looks at me with that happy smile that she always seems to have.

"There's a lot of filing work and I thought it'd be nice to have it done tomorrow when the auditors come." She tells me. I sigh then nod.

"Did you let anyone in today?" I ask her. She bites her lip and begins to put on a thoughtful face. I wouldn't be surprised if she was bribed to keep it a secret. It's a big deal to break into the law firms and even look at the folders for clients.

"Yes." She finally says. The look she says finishes the statement and I growl.

"Don't let him in again. If he applies for working here, he's not allowed. He's tampered with the folders on my female clients." I tell Rin. She nods then I leave, locking the front doors on the way. I get in my car, shaking my head. He's going to regret ever doing this to both of us.

I start the engine and drive to the Seaside Hut, managing to hit every single red light on the way. Inuyasha shouldn't have done this to her in the past. He hurt her more than I can even imagine. I still remember the day he came home, telling me about his decision. I hadn't cared at the time, but now I feel all the rage I should've experienced boiling in my blood.

- Flashback -

I stir the pot of ramen, mumbling a string of curses. Father had put me in charge of feeding my rat-of-a-brother, and the only thing he'll eat is ramen. I hear the door open then I turn my head to see my brother and his girlfriend.

After closer inspection and a few sniffs of the scent, I realize it's not her.

"Who's this?" I question. I know that his answer won't interest me, and I don't even know why I asked it in the first place. But I had the urge to do so.

"This is Kikyou. Kikyou, this is my stupid brother, Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha says. Iglare at him, forgetting that Kikyou was there for a moment.

"Stupid must be the term for passing high school without cheating. That would make you something else, little brother." I say rudely. He glares at me then he hugs Kikyou tighter.

"What happened to the other girl you used to date? Ms. Higurashi." I ask him. He shrugs and then whispers something about his bedroom to Kikyou.

"Kagome? Oh, she didn't want to be my mate, so I decided that Kikyou was better." He says. I wouldn't want to be his mate either, if that's what he did when I refused. I have a feeling that he's altering the story greatly, but I'll wait until Kikyou is gone to ask about it. He points towards his room, then the girl goes 'prancing' off to it.

"What happened, really?" I ask once more.

"Why would I tell you?" He retorts.

"I'm cooking your ramen. I go shopping for your entire ramen supply." I threaten him. He sits at the table in submission.

"Kagome and I were at one of those drive-in movies. We were making out, and I went to take off her shirt. She tensed up, but she let me. When I tried to take off her pants, she freaked out and slapped me. Hard. I didn't even know she could hit that hard." Inuyasha tells me.

"So, you nearly took her and get upset when she denies you?" I question. Inuyasha looks up at me, growling lowly.

"She's the only one in high school who hasn't done anything yet. I had bets going that I could get into her pants before we graduated! Then I started to love her. I was reminded of the bet the other day and tried it out. If she loved me, she'd have let me." He says. I shake my head then pour his ramen in the bowl.

"I don't enjoy this, but let me talk to you as your big brother." I say. I let some of the water out of the bowl, watching the steam come up.

"For a woman, giving herself up in that way is hard and painful. Ms. Higurashi, no doubt, knows this. You two aren't even done with high school. I know you wouldn't have had 'protection' with you that you intended to use. She doesn't want to get pregnant and she doesn't want to give that part of herself up in a car. Your crappy car, no less." I tell him. Inuyasha doesn't growl at the comment.

"She slapped me, though. She should've told me if something was bothering her." Inuyasha tells me. I can't believe I'm having a heart-to-heart talk with him. I'm going to regret this forever.

"You wouldn't have listened. You would have tried to force yourself on her until she gave in. Ms. Higurashi was very smart to slap you. It brought you to your senses. After this occurred, I assume you dumped her." I say. Inuyasha nods then I set the bowl down in front of him. I turn around to retrieve a fork - although I doubt he'll use it.

In fact, it's a shame that he had to dump her. She always seemed so nice and cheerful. I wouldn't have minded having her as my sister-in-law. If anything, it would be a pleasant addition to the family. But, of course, my dumb-ass brother had to screw something else up too.

-End Flashback -

I park in the parking lot, shaking my head. I should have seeked her out to care for her at the time. But, all I could think about was getting my brother to realize his mistake and get him to leave me alone. The girl, Kikyou, turned out to be an American-speaking whore. I found this out after Inuyasha attempted to explain why she was walking in on my showers.

This not only disgusted me at the time, but it made me angry. If Inuyasha dates women who do that for a living, then he should have kept them away from me. That was very startling to have a woman walk in while I was showering!

I walk out of the car and into the building. I follow Kagome's scent to the table, but she's not there. She must've gone to the bathroom. Everyone at the table stares at me, especially Kagome's best friend. I believe her name is Sango, but I'm not too good with names.

"Sesshoumaru, Kagome's old boyfriend came back and tried to take her. He was mean to her and he--" I interrupt Sango by putting my hand in the air.

"Stop. I know. My idiot brother dumped her for an American-speaking whore and now he expects to get her back. He went through my files to find out she was released today." I tell her. I'd rather not try to explain to her how he knew Kagome was here. I leave the resturaunt that quickly and follow my nose to the back of the building.

My younger brother, who I am disowning now, has Kagome against the wall. Her chest is pushed up against the building so harshly, I wonder if she can even breathe. His fangs are right against the back of her neck, where he may mark her. I don't attempt to hide my growl. It's possessive, as if I've already claimed Kagome. In my mind, I have.

Inuyasha catches the slightly audible growl and his gaze looks at me, but his fangs remain. In a flash, I am by Inuyasha's side. I pull him off of Kagome, feeling all the rage from the past and from what I just saw boiling to the surface of my skin. I won't even attempt to remain emotionless. All I can do is keep back my rage so I won't scare Kagome.

So, have you all been awaiting this chapter? Well, I'm nearly done. Amazing, huh? Hopefully you people like it so far. I think you do, but I don't know. I haven't even been able to get ten reviews recently! That's hardly anything (in my opinion)
