He said he would never forget that night we shared. He said he would come back for me. Yet he never did. I came here night after night hoping he would be here. I knew he owned the club. And I knew he was really busy, but a piece of me still clung to the hope that he would still want me.

He had called me his puppy that night while he held me. He said that pups shouldn't be without the pack. Oh how I believed him. A little piece of me wanted to be loved completely and to be accepted for who I was. He had given that to me, so I had given myself to him.

And then he had left me where I lay on that bed with empty promises.

It had taken months of my friends talking to me to help me through the pain of him leaving and breaking his promises. In all my knowledge I knew somewhere that the gentleness he had shown me was true love. But they had convinced me that he had only said those words to get me to give him what he sought that night.

When I heard his voice in my ear over the music I was filled with such joy. The fell of him behind me had awoken feelings that had lain dormant for so long. And when he didn't remember me, all my hopes came crashing down.

They were right. Who in their right mind would remember a one-night stand? Who would want to spend their life with a total stranger they met at a bar? Who would really want me?

My mother had died on the birthing bed, and my father had never come to claim me. Not even they wanted me. I was just some disgusting half-breed.

When warm arms wrapped around my middle I tensed for a few moments until I realised they were much too low to be his.

"That was Sesshoumaru wasn't it?" Kagome asked of me.

I could really only nod. She was such a sweet girl; I loved her like a sister. She had been the only one to accept me for who I was for a long time.

Sure there had been Kikyou, but she could never overlook what I was. She had said she had loved me but in the end she had betrayed me.

It had been Kagome who had saved me from that betrayal. At first I had wanted to love my savoir, but she wouldn't have me. And when I had heard all of her story I agreed that it was for the best that we only remain friends. We were just too different and the love we felt for each other would only be torn apart in the end.

And so I became her big brother. Protecting her from guys that couldn't look past her beautiful face and curvaceous body.

Like that idiot Naraku, who thought just because he was some big business man he could have anything and anybody who he wanted. After a few black eyes and a couple of broken bones he got the picture and left her alone.

There was that guy Kouga as well. Sure he was nice and all, and Kagome liked him. But she had told me one night that he just wasn't what she was looking for. So it was placed on me to kick him to the curb every time he flirted with her. But he just didn't get the point and was back for more in no time.

"InuYasha, pay attention, I'm trying to talk to you."

So that had been the throbbing pain in my head. And here I thought I was getting a headache. She must have really clocked me one this time.

"Sorry Kagome, what do you want?"

"Are you going to be ok?"

"I'll be fine. He doesn't own me." I turned to lean back on the bar and put the last of my drink down my throat. Oh that burned, but it would block out most of the pain that I am feeling.

"Are you going to go talk to him? He was really upset when you left. And he very nearly punched Miroku for getting in his way."

"Why would I want to talk to him? He doesn't remember anyway." Great now I'm going to hear from Songo just how brave the man was. She really needs to look past that pretty face and see the pervert he is. But then again who am I to judge? I gave my heart and body to a bastard.

"If only for closure for you."

"Fine. I'll talk to him. Did you see where he went?"

"Towards the back."

Ok, I can do this, he has broken my heart once, and he can't do it again. And I am in control this time.

I hope.

A/N: So I'm not good at the update thing. I hope this answers some of the questions people have had. It touches the past a little. It also sets up the third part. And I just want people to know this was originally just a oneshot and I hadn't planned on this chapter or the next. So I have no clue as to where this is going.

Review (even if it is a flame) it makes me all warm and fuzzy to know you read my chicken scratch.
