Ch. 3

Sango went over to visit Kagome on Sunday afternoon since she hasn't heard from her all weekend. She knocked on the door but there was a long period of silence, she knew that her friend was there because her car was there. She also noticed that Inuyasha's car was there as well. She knocked again but this time the silence was replaced by giggling. Sango knocked once more when the door still remained closed and heard, "Coming!" The door opened seconds after. Kagome stood with a huge smile on her face and next to her was the silver haired boy that she seemed to have fallen hard for.

"Bye Kagome." He said as he scooted out the door, giving her a long kiss before he left.

She waved goodbye before watching him walk down the stairs from her door and into his car to where he drove off.

"Kagome, have you two…"

"No, he just stopped by. He was on his way to go practice with his band mates." Kagome said knowing what her friend was going to say next. It was really because of the way she looked. She was in some loose clothes and her hair was in a mess. Sango just pushed her way inside, taking Kagome with her sorry to have thought of that subject.

Kagome said realizing Sango's sudden appearance. "So why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you all weekend, ever since you and dog boy have been dating these past few months, it's like you never have time for me." Sango said while pulling off her sad face. The semester was coming to an end and Kagome had been spending less and less time with her best friend.

Kagome grabbed her friend's hands. "How cruel of me. I promise to make it up to you somehow."

"Anyway Kags, I've found out something about your puppy." She said sitting down on the couch.

Kagome sat next to her, curious to know what her friend knows about her boyfriend that she didn't know. "So what about him do you know that I don't know?"

"Well I've been wondering to myself why he looked so much like Sesshomaru and the answer to that is because he is his brother."

Kagome didn't look too surprised about that. "I know."

"You did, how come you didn't tell me?"

"I thought it was obvious to you. The only reason I know is because I know Sesshomaru, he mentioned having a brother but he never talked about him much."

"And speaking of Sesshomaru, he hasn't been at the café lately."

"Now that you mention it, he hasn't been in class either. I wonder where he is."

At an estate somewhere outside the city, Sesshomaru was just getting home from school. Yes, he went to school, he just didn't go to his Biology class. He had a thing for Kagome for so long that he didn't even know when or how it happened and the fact that her heart belonged to someone else, especially his brother, broke his heart. It wasn't just Inuyasha, it also happened when she was with Koga. He was so jealous of the wolf that he was the one who introduced Ayame to him, causing them to break up. But now it's different, but only because Inuyasha is involved.

He drove around the mansion to what seemed like a normal sized house. See, the mansion belonged to his father, while Sesshomaru lived in the guest house. It's all until he get's out of college. He's such a daddy's boy.

He went inside the house and decided to watch a little TV before trying to scrounge around to try and find something to eat. Something felt off as he walked threw the den to go to the living room. He felt the presence of another being in the house. He carefully crept to the living room to where he felt his senses were the strongest. He saw the top of someone's silver hair in one of the chairs that was facing away from him, and just as he was about to attack the intruder, he heard a voice similar to his but deeper in tone.

"Don't even think about it."

"Father?" Sesshomaru said noticing who was in his home. He relaxed but only slightly because there was another feeling that was making him nervous. The room felt cold as he looked at the powerful man sitting in the chair in front of him. It could have been the serious/pissed off face that he wore on his face.

The man said nothing but nodded his head toward the other chair opposite of him, gesturing him to sit down. The other silver haired demon sat down with out hesitation. A moment of silence passed, Sesshomaru wanted to avoid eye contact because he could tell that he was giving him a piercing stair with those golden eyes. Sesshomaru wanted to break the eerie silence but he knew that nothing that he could say would go threw to his father, he didn't even know what to say anyway.

"I was in the middle of a very important business meeting, when in the middle of the meeting I get a phone call. That call just so happened to be your Biology teacher, can you explain to me why you haven't been in class for the last two months and a half?" Inutaisho said calmly as to not show how he was really feeling. Sesshomaru knew better of what was going on in his father's mind, so telling him the truth won't work and telling him a lie would make things even worse. Either way he was in trouble.

"Well, son…" Inutaisho trailed off, waiting for his response.

Instinct just took Sesshomaru over. "Um…Some things came up and…"

"And just what things, it couldn't be at the office since I give you your work to do, you don't do anything else but go to school, so what things could possibly come up!" The older demon said out loud finally reveling how he was feeling but still holding in some of his emotions. "Sesshomaru, this is your second year as a junior. You are failing your class. Failure is not an option if you want to take over the business. Do you want to take over the business? You must not if you're skipping classes."

"But why should I care about this class, I'm majoring in Business Affairs, Biology has nothing to so with business."

"Don't you think I know that, that class is an elective for you and if you don't have the right number of hours then you don't move up and you don't get my business. Maybe I should give it to Inuyasha." He said knowing that he would hit a nerve. Sesshomaru hated his brother, they could never get along. He always blamed him for the reason why his father and mother divorced, being the son of another woman. He hated him more than ever now that he and Kagome were together.

"That half breed, he's not worthy!"

Inutaisho then stood up. "You're not the one to talk, I've had it with you. I can't keep someone in my home who doesn't work for all I give them. I want you out of this guest house by the time I leave for work at 6:00 AM tomorrow. You can keep all your clothes and other possessions along with your car and laptop. If you're still here then I will force you out by any means necessary." With that he left out the house.

Sesshomaru sat there speechless. He couldn't have really meant it…could he? Sesshomaru knew that when his father was angry that he would sometimes say things that he didn't mean. He let the thought subside and went on to find something to eat. Then afterwards, he continued his plans to watch TV, took a quick shower, and finally to bed completely forgetting his father's warning. Little did he know he was in for a rude awaking.

6:00 rolled around and Sesshomaru was still sleeping soundly in bed that was until Inutaisho snatched the covers off the bed. Sesshomaru shivered a little being that the only thing that covered him was gone. He searched the bed with closed eyes for the blanket thinking that it had fallen off, he was a rough sleeper at times. When the blanket couldn't be found he opened his eyes only to wish that he was in some sort of dream.

"Its times up son now are you going to leave or do I have to get someone to escort you out?" Inutaisho said standing over his son.

You've got to be kidding me. Sesshomaru thought looking up to his father.

About forty-five minuets after that Sesshomaru was in his car with all he could bring sitting outside the estate.

What am I going to do, where am I going to go? The only close friend I have is Naraku but I'll never have any peace as long as his bitchy younger sister Kagura still lives with him. There's no way I'm staying with that mutt of a half brother. A smirk shown on his face, "That only leaves one choice."

Kagome was sleeping peacefully in her bed when the sound of knocking woke her up. She looked at the clock, 7:06. Class didn't start for her until 9:30 so she cursed at whoever was waking her up now. She ignored the pounding hoping that the person would take a hint and leave but the noise just got louder. She got up and walked in a zombie like state toward the door thinking of what she's going to tell the person who woke her up.

She flung the door open, "What the hell do you want…Sesshomaru?"

"I need a room." Was all he said.

"What?"

"I need a room, so let me in." He said making his way pass her.

"What gives you the right to wake me up and come into my apartment?" Kagome said pulling his arm to make him stop.

"Look, it's a long story that I'll tell you later. Just please let me have a room. I'll even pay for it."

She could use the money to help pay off her apartment which she was struggling to pay off now. Her job just didn't really pay enough, but she was making it threw as best as she could. With him helping her, she'll be able to pay the rent with no problem and even have some left over for her to use as she like. After all he is the son of a successful business man which he works for.

"Fine but you better tell me the whole story."

He waved off signaling that he would and she let him go and walked back to her spare room.

What did I just get myself into? She thought as she watched him disappear into the room.
