AN: I received a sufficient amount of reviews within only 48 hours of posting the last chapter. Ask and you shall receive. Here is the next installment of What You Do.

Ever since my mom died my life has been a mess. Everyone fucking hates me. Kagome usually avoids me every chance she can. When she goes to school, instead of leaving Kaiya with me, she'll take her to Sesshomaru's house to be with Rin.

My mom's death did bring a couple positive things. She left me a big sum of money and so I've been using it to get my drugs. I'm glad, because stealing things from the mansion was always risky. She apparently gave Kagome money too, and put some in an account for Kaiya. I wonder what Kagome has been spending hers on?

Today Kagome and I are supposed to meet with my dad in his study. I really am nervous about what he wants to talk about. I also saw Sesshomaru's car pull into the driveway a while ago. If it's some type of intervention I'm not having it.

I sighed before leaving my bedroom. I didn't use a lot this morning, a much smaller dose so that no one will notice.

I walked over to my dad's office and the door was slightly ajar. Inside I saw my father sitting at his desk, Sesshomaru standing beside him, and Kagome sitting in the chair in front of the desk. I pushed the door open and let myself in, walking to the chair beside Kagome.

"Inuyasha," my dad nodded at my arrival, "right on time."

I didn't say anything. Hopefully whatever this is will be over quick. On a side note, my dad looks like shit. He disappeared for a couple weeks after the funeral. Maybe he uses too! Ha. No, that's just a joke.

He didn't waste time beating around the bush and came right out with it. "I've decided to sell the mansion."

"What?" I was taken back. Well I have to say this is one of the last things I was expecting. "Why would you do that?"

He sighed. "Son, there are too many memories haunting this place. With your mother gone," he paused, "this will never be home for me again."

He was hardly here to make any memories! What the fuck? This is our fucking home. "But dad, where are we supposed to go?"

"I plan on buying a couple of condos in some of my favored countries." He smiled at Kagome. "Do not worry. I have set aside money for you to buy your own home."

Kagome and I in our own house? Well that sounds kind of nice.

"It won't be anything as big as this, just a normal house in a nice neighborhood. I've taken the liberty of picking out some suggestions, maybe you will like them, and it will make the search easier."

"So," I smiled, "You're just going to buy us a house? That's nice of you, dad."

He shook his head. "Don't get ahead of yourself Inuyasha. You are a grown man, and things have been too easy on you."

"What do you mean?" here comes the bad part. Great.

"I am only paying for half of this house. The rest of it will be up to you and Kagome." He looked at my wife as I sat there taking it in. "Kagome, if you need daycare or any help since you are in college full time you let me know. I do not want your education to suffer."

"So," I started to ask, a little pissed off, "How do you expect me to magically come up with the money for this house if I don't have a job? I feel like working in fast food isn't gonna cut it exactly. I'm not working no 50 hour weeks at some grease bin, so I can make just enough to get by."

Finally the silent brother spoke up. "Do not be disrespectful Inuyasha. Father and I will be letting you work with the company. It is time you stepped up anyways. You are 19 and have been living off of it your entire life." I saw my father nodding at his words. "I started working with Father when I was 16 years old and everything I own, I own because of myself."

"Yes," my dad agreed. "It is time for you to grow up. Rest her soul; I let your mother baby you for too long."

I narrowed my eyes. "So what does this mean? What is it you guys expect me to do? I don't know anything about running a company; I haven't even been to college yet."

Sesshomaru smirked. "You aren't running anything! You will start from the bottom, just as I did. All you have to do is show up to work on time. You're going to be in the mail room, if you can do that successfully I'll let you work your way up."

I got confused. "So, wait, who am I working for?"

"Well," my father said, "I plan on retiring in the next few years, and then handing the reigns to Sesshomaru."

"So you will be working for me, little brother, mostly under my watch. And I will be watching you like a hawk."

I glared at him. "And if I don't want to?"

Kagome turned towards me. "What does that mean? Why wouldn't you?"

I crossed my arms over my chest. "I don't want to be Sesshomaru's bitch."

She gave me a murderous look. "Then you can say goodbye to your daughter and I. Don't think I'll let you get away with being like this forever."

I felt my cheeks flush. "That's a private conversation Kagome." She didn't need to go saying that with my brother and dad in the room.

"No," she shook her head, "It's not. Now everyone will understand where I am with you. Grow up or I will be out of here."

Now I was embarrassed and pissed. I kept my mouth shut though, I didn't want to argue here, but just wait Kagome. Wait till were alone. "Whatever."

I turned back to my father. "So when do we move and when do I start working?"

"The house will go up for sale later this week. You both can stay here until you find a new home, and you have until the house sells to do so. You can start working for Sesshomaru next Monday."

I sighed. I have one week of freedom.

Sesshomaru handed me a piece of paper. "This contains the answers to any questions you might have."

I read some of the writing on the page in my hands. I was to work Monday through Friday, 6am-3pm. Also, Saturday 6am-2pm. It had my starting pay; there was also a dress code, code of conduct, and some other shit that I could care less about. I put the paper in my lap and looked at the men before me. "Anything else?"

My father answered. "No, we are done here. Unless there is anything you wanted to talk about."

I shook my head. "Nope." Then I stood up and walked out of the room. I heard Kagome sigh in frustration as I left. What does she want me to say? I'm an addict and I want to get clean? No, because I don't want to. Using is the only thing that makes me happy and takes my worries away.

Later that day, after my brother and dad left, I went to Kagome's room and knocked on the door. She opened it and stared at me. "What?"

I pushed the door open and let myself in, earning a small growl from her. "You wanna tell me what the fuck your deal was earlier?" I faced her and glared.

Her eyebrows rose. "Oh about me leaving you if you don't get your shit together? What part about that did you not understand?"

"What I don't understand is why?"

She rolled her eyes. "You really don't know? Do you really think I would stay with you? I know you're using drugs Yash, and now we have to live somewhere else and it's gonna be your responsibility to help support Kaiya and I. If you can't step up and do that then I see no reason to be with you."

I felt my blood boiling. "And where the fuck are you going to go Kagome? Don't forget, you have my last name and my daughter."

"So?"

I got in her face. "So no one is going to take some bitch who is already married to someone else and their kid." You aren't going anywhere. "And you're not taking Kaiya away from me."

"You," she shoved her finger into my chest, "don't call me a bitch. I'll take her wherever I please, you aren't going to stop me, you probably wouldn't even notice if we left."

I grabbed her wrist, squeezing it as I moved it away from myself, stepping even closer. I don't think I ever hit a girl but she is tempting me.

She snatched her hand away, glaring at me. "And don't assume I have nowhere to go."

I laughed. "Where are you gonna go? Miroku's, Sesshomaru's? You think someone is just going to let you come into their home and take care of you and Kaiya like its nothing?"

"That's what your parents did!" She smirked. "You don't worry about it. I already had a place offered. I could leave you right now and never look back."

That shocked me. She noticed.

"Don't look so surprised Inuyasha. I have a lot of friends I talk to at school. People who are compassionate towards my situation with you and know that you are no good. You should be nicer to me since I've stayed by your side this long, even though I could have left a long time ago." She grinned and continued, knowing that she was pushing the right buttons. "There are plenty of guys who are willing to treat me and Kaiya the way we deserve, instead of just avoiding us like you do."

My hands curled into fists at my sides. "Who the fuck have you been talking to, Kagome?" Which mother fucker is it that's putting the moves on my wife?

She shrugged. "Don't worry about it."

I glared at her.

"Just do what you're supposed to do and it won't come down to that. Then you'll never have to find out."

That's it; I've had enough of her games. I grabbed her by her arms and slammed her up against the wall. "Who the fuck is it that you have waiting on the side, Kagome?" I will fucking kill him. "Have you been fucking around behind my back too?"

She shoved me back. "Don't touch me!" then she slapped me. "You are a piece of shit! Get the fuck out of my room, now!"

I didn't move. "Not until you tell me who this guy is that you've been talking to!"

"It's just a friend, asshole!" she held the door open for me. "Now get out!"

I just breathed out. Fuck, I'm done dealing with this. I marched past her into the hallway and went straight to my room, slamming the door behind me.

I sighed as I looked in my bedroom mirror. It was the first day of work. The sun wasn't even up yet, but I was. I shook my head to clear some of the fogginess out. I didn't want to fuck this job up. I made sure I had my phone and keys and left the room. Before leaving I went to the nursery to see Kaiya.

She was still asleep in her crib. Her first birthday was in a couple weeks. She is so much bigger than when she was born, I can't believe how much she grew in a year. She barely talks and is still learning how to walk. I think she can take only a couple steps before she falls. Kagome and I did a great job with her.

I brushed my hand on her cheek and crept out of the room quietly. I left my house and drove the half hour to downtown where the building was. When I got there I made my way in the building and was greeted by a cheery face.

"Good morning." The receptionist smiled.

I nodded to her, and continued to walk to where Sesshomaru said the mailroom was. I took the elevator down to the basement where I needed to be.

I saw a small office and went straight towards it. I let myself in and a short older man looked up from his desk. "Hello there," he glanced at my hair and eyes, "I'm going to assume you are Inuyasha."

"Yes sir."

"Good." He stood up. "Well I'll be introducing you to the young lady who will be training you and showing you the ropes around here."

I nodded and followed him as he walked around the desk and out of the tiny room.

"She is a very nice young lady," he smiled and turned his head right to left, scanning the area, "She is around here somewhere. Ah! There she is." He took off towards another section of the space and walked up to a girl who was facing the other way.

"Akira!" he called out to her.

The lady turned around and I was pleasantly surprised to see a sexy young girl standing there. She had curves in all the right places, but not too much. I'd say she looked to be a little over five feet tall and had straight black hair to her waist, green eyes, a clear face and straight teeth. This job might not be as bad as I thought.

They spoke for a minute before she turned her attention on me. "Inuyasha," she stuck out her hand, "I'm Akira. It's nice to meet you."

"Yes," I stretched my arm out and shook her small hand, "it is very nice." I let my gaze linger for a few seconds and slowly removed my hand from hers. A small blush spread on her face. Mission accomplished.

"Yes, well," she cleared her throat, "I'll be training you until you catch on."

I gave her a smile, "It might take a while."

She looked away, more blushing. "Well, um, that'll be fine too."

She brushed past me and I followed her over to where we would do our sorting. It didn't take much of an explanation and we began to work. After taking our time sorting the mail and talking I learned a few things about the girl. She was almost 19 and had to get this job to pay for college. She was from out of town and got a job working here within weeks after moving.

Then after we took a little break we started delivering. She showed me my route and I wasn't surprised to find Sesshomaru as the first stop. We got to his office and the secretary told me to wait a minute. Then my brother walked out of his office to check on me.

"How is he doing?" he asked Akira.

"Just fine actually."

Sesshomaru nodded. "If there are any problems you will let me know."

"Yes sir."

Then he glanced at me and walked back into his office, closing the door behind him. What a prick.

Akira and I finished the route easily enough. Then we were half way through our day. I got to take another break, sort more mail, and then do my same route over again. Once we finished she took me back into the mail room.

"It gets a lot slower in the afternoon." She said as we went to the break area. "Usually we just hang out for the next hour and then sort out any mail that comes through. Then we deliver them directly to whomever they go to on our way out. Then you're done!" she ended with a smile. "It's pretty easy huh?"

I nodded. "Yeah. It actually is."

Akira and I just hung out and talked until it was time to deliver the last of the mail and leave. Then we left building together. As soon as we were out the door she lit up a cigarette.

"You smoke?" I smirked. "I didn't peg you to be the type." She seemed like an innocent, healthy one to me.

She just smiled. "Yeah, I got hooked a few years ago. I tried to quit." she laughed. "Fuck that shit. Why?" she blew smoke out. "Are you one of those types of people who like to bitch about smoking?"

"Hell no." That's my wife who does that. "I'm one of the people who get bitched at for it!" I joked.

Akira laughed and handed me a cigarette. "Ha, to smokers."

I smiled and lit it, I took a good hit. "To smokers." I said, holding the cigarette above my head and blowing the smoke high up.

"So what other surprises do you have?" I asked.

She looked at me deviously. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

I chuckled. "Maybe we have more things in common than I originally thought."

She shook her head with a smile. "Maybe, but you'll just have to wait to find out, because my car is right there." She pointed to her vehicle and started to walk away. "I'll see you tomorrow, Inuyasha."

"Okay, and call me Yash!" I yelled out as I watched her walk off. She seemed like fun.

AN: You know what to do ;)
I already have the next chapter pretty much done, I just need the motivation to edit and add the final touches.
P.S. I find smoking really nasty and bad for your health. (Obviously so are the harder things.) But this last part makes it look like my personal opinions are that I would like smoking. I just want to clear that up. I know you don't care but I just had to put it out there :P
