But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

He ate alone and tomorrow he would be alone, it was the weekend. Maybe he should get out?

He drove around, then went to the mall, which he hated, then to the park and walked. He wished he could fly, but they didn't allow that except during certain times.

He took in the cold. It would snow soon, she loved the snow. He sat on a bench and watched people go by, happy with their short lives.

"Sesshomaru?"

God, he hated people, why did he leave his home again?

"What?" He snapped,

"What's up dude?!"

Sesshomaru glided his eyes to Kouga, he stood in a T-shirt and jeans with a leather jacket. He thought he was cool, stupid wolf.

"I am not your dude."

"Woah, what's got you all bent out of shape"

"What do you want wolf?" Changed he may be, but not that much.

"Just saw you thought I'd say hi. I'm headed to Kagomes."

That was not the right thing to say to him right now, but he didn't know that. She never told anyone they were sleeping together and they never gave it away. Though he never told her not to tell, she just knew. He didn't have to, now he kinda wished he had.

"And for what will she owe this displeasure?"

He cocked a smile, "We are going out with Shippo and a few friends, I'd invite you, but I can see that would be a waste of time."

"You are correct."

"Well, if you change your mind we will be at The Vide after dinner."

He looked away, ignoring the wolf. Wasn't he mated?

Kouga walked off and Sesshomaru knew what he was doing tonight. Like hell he was leaving her to chance with him. Shippo was no help either, did they didn't know. Shippo was married to a human, who now had a life bond. Kouga was too, but he was in an open relationship. Unlike foxes and dogs, wolves were free roaming, but they did mate for life like dog demons. It was nothing for them to take 4 or 5 mates, ugh.

Kagome needed this.

Shippo knew his mother needed a night out. He called Sesshomaru a salve driver, if he only knew.

So that night they went to eat. She still had them. Even though she didn't see Kouga much, she did talk to Shippo every other day and saw him most weekends.

She laughed at dinner for the first time in a long time, and you know what? She was going to dance. Kouga was a good friend now. He wasn't trying to sleep with her, though she was sure he would if she asked.

Sesshomaru got to the club way before them, he didn't want a grand entrance. He stood at the bar and waited.

They arrived around 11:42 pm.

"Hey Sesshomaru!" Kouga said with a grin,

Kagome didn't even look at him.

Shippo ordered drinks,

Kagome still didn't look at him

Not once. She acted as if he wasn't even there.

She kicked back her drink with a burn and said "Let's dance!"

But she wasn't talking to him.

She pulled Kouga along, thank god it was a fast song. His blood was boiling and he knew all it would take was for the fucking wolf to touch her.

They danced, they drank, they played pool and she acted like he was a stranger.

He downed a drink and walked up to her. She was wearing his dress, that one. The one she wore the first time he took her. She only wore that when she really, really frisky. It ended up on the floor of his limo more than once.

He looked down at her. She held the pool stick not looking, effectively ignoring him again.

"Kagome"

She looked up as if she didn't know he was standing there.

"Hey" She said as if it was the first time she was seeing him, then she bent over and took the shot. He didn't look, as much as he really wanted to, he didn't. That dress was far too short for her to be doing that.

She nailed the ball and cheered and walked around the table, they all acted like he wasn't standing there.

Then, to his displeasure, a slow song came on. What kind of club was this? He was going to buy it and burn it down.

Kouga took her, she went and they danced and it ate at his being.

He should throw them all down her well. He missed the good old days, they weren't complicated like this. He liked it better when she was just a high school, virgin miko.

Kouga turned her and she looked at Sesshomaru over Kouga's shoulder. Their eyes met.

"Come here" he stated calm, though his voice would not travel, to him it didn't matter, she would know.

But she looked way.

He demanded to speak to her before they left, in private.

"I should take you home"

"Why?"

"You're drunk"

"Um I'm buzzed, not drunk Sesshomaru"

"Come home with me"

The fire between them was burning for him.

"Why should I do that?"

"You know me"

She looked at him hard "Do I?"

That stung "Kagome"

"I know Kouga, he took me out, he's taking me home"

She turned from him "He's mated" He stated,

She only stopped for a second "It's just sex, right?" Then she walked off.

Leaving him feel so rough, and on fire in the worst of ways.

He was going to kill the wolf.
