Re-cap;

"Why would you care, you're not him?" it was more of a statement than a question. "Thank all the gods in the world for that, my dear." he replied back, very coldly. With that said, he walked away from her but before he left the room she said bitterly, "Oh, but I do. Each and everyday, you ass-hole." Without another word he left the room and walked away from the one he loved yet again.

Chapter Three:

Regrets

As Kagome stormed out of the room, no she did not follow her ex-lover, Sesshomaru. Instead she made her way back down to her office to find some sort of comfort. Within her own privet walls away from all her troubles, but the only problem was she didn't find the comfort that she needed in there. Inside, Kagome found herself wanting to tell him the truth, but she didn't need him to throw it up into her face. It was too much to bare. His words hurt her like no other. How could someone still love another when they do not share the same feelings? Simple, it was just another case of unrequited love one her part.

Oh, all the pantheon above and below her were all making a mockery out of her love life, or at lest that's how it felt like. For eight damn years she's only truly loved one man and that man could careless about her. It was outrageous. Truly outrageous to still love a man who didn't love that person back, but that was her life. High esteemed in the business world, but in her own personal love affairs… it was not one that anyone would want. To be honest she herself didn't wish this kind of love on anyone, and right now, she didn't want to be in love with him. She didn't want the need for him physically as well emotionally. Oh, god how did she miss the way his arms wrapped around her body. What any sane woman would want to forget him, or the way they made love? No one, that's who. She wouldn't want to forget the way his hands moved and caressed up and down her.

How his tongue ravished her body inside as well as out. Oh, gods. What would she do to have a decent fuck-- no with him it wasn't just a 'fuck' it was heart pounding non stopping amazing sex. That no lover could compare with his godlike sexually talents. To just think about his intimacy, or the way his touches felt. It just made her feel all hot and bothered. Gods, she wanted him more than anything right now, but she knew he didn't want her, or feel the same. Hojo Lee was no more since before she arrived back in Japan. She had told him she needed her space, but in all reality the only space she needed was from him and his ways. She hated how he always seemed to always want their relationship to go into the next level. Like with living together and marriage. That she didn't agreed to neither of the two, but he seemed to not get it. Like always, a guy who plunges into things and ideals without telling the other.

Meaning her! He bought an house and a engagement ring. Granted she felt bad that she broke it off, but come-on she didn't agree to anything. No moving in; No getting married, or engaged with him! He needed to lay off. One thing she was glad to be leaving the U.S. was to get away from her ex-boyfriend, but the ironic thing was she headed up seeing another ex and that one she happened to love. Oh, yes… the gods were mocking her.

"Why? Can't my life be more simple?" she asked herself out loud.

____________________________________________________________

Now with both Kagome and Sesshomaru gone, leaving without so much as a goodbye. They left their close family members, or in this case their rather surprised audiences. The people within the room who were mostly stunned by their outbursts were; Chikako, Inutaisho and Inuyasha. Sora was mostly quite since she knew the truth behind Kagome's reactions, but she choose to be silent for now, until the men departed. Then she would discuses the matter with Chikako, but for no it was best to keep her mouth shut.

"Well, that was intrusting…" Inutaisho mused.

"What? 'intrusting'? Dad, it's more like, what the fucking hell was that all about!?" exclaimed Inuyasha, as he looked his father and then back to the entrance were his brother stormed out of, as well as Kagome. "Inuyasha, remember the language." His father scold him as if he was still a child. The women in the room however, still remained as silent as church mice.

I wonder if she's ok? I should go and check on her. Just to make sure she's alright. Sora mused as she continued to look toward the direction which Kagome and Sesshomaru had stormed out of. Her great-grandmother caught on and then suggested that she would go and look for Kagome. She apologized and bowed her head respectfully as she walked out of the room, and down the hall to find her cousin. It didn't take Sora too long to find Kagome. Since she figured the first place she would look would be in her own privet office. She was relived to find her still inside the building, and not out somewhere running from things like Kagome normally did. How do you think Kagome had gotten so thin? She runs everyday. Sora only knowing the real reason why, it was a way from Kagome to ran away from all her problems that keep piling so high and no way to get rid of them. Her cousin was suffering for eight years because of loving him. To be honest, it took all of her inner strength not to want to harm the bastard. How dare he hurt her so?!

"But why did he look so sad when she had lied about her engagement… Don't tell me… he wants to be with her? How could he? I thought he didn't love her? Or maybe, he's always loved her?… But why did he break up with her?" Sora mused on the matter, as she walked over to her dear cousin. Kagome sat down on a black leather chair. Her high kneeled shoes were kicked off, hair a mess, and her face hidden in her face. She looked like she had just been hit by a bus.

Yeah, and it's name was Sesshomaru. Just how are you supposed to comfort someone who was this down about seeing an ex-boyfriend? Kneeling before Kagome, Sora placed a hand on-top of her head, in a very loving matter, "Honey?" she called out trying to get her attention, but it failed. So, Sora repeated again, "Honey?" This time however worked. She had Kagome's attention now, but what made Sora's heart ache all the more was seeing unlashed tears within Kagome's eyes.

Without thinking Sora embraced her and held her close. Kagome who was now sobbing uncontrollably, held onto her as if she was holding onto life itself. "I hate him…" Kagome whispered breathlessly, into Sora's ear not commenting, or saying anything back to Kagome.

She just held her and soothed her. It was all she could do, because she knew Kagome may hate him for the time being, but deep down she still loved the bastard. It took all of her again, not to track down that bastard and kill him, or at lest have him confess his true feeling towards Kagome. Cause… that man was just seriously pissing her off. To see Kagome like this, she looked so broken, confused, and just depressed. All because of one man. It just took one to bring her strong-willed cousin down. Who the hell was he? To bring Kagome down so far to become so broken within her very heart and soul. "That bastard!" Sora's thought exclaimed, within her mind.

"You know you are really something', Sesshomaru! You know that?!" shouted Inuyasha enraged by his brother's behavior. Sesshomaru continued to ignored his younger brother's highly annoying shouting and yelling. His father, which he could tell by looking at his face wasn't very pleased with how he behavior either, but he wasn't scolding him as if he was a toddler. Inuyasha however was… "AREN'T YOU LISTENING YOU FOOL?!" he snarled at Sesshomaru, as he glared at him. Sesshomaru returned the glare with one of his own.

"Why would I ever listen to a paper ass-hole?" Sesshomaru stated as he continued to look out the window. Yeah, he knew he fucked-up royally, but he didn't need to hear it from someone like his brother. Who was born to be a fuck-up!

"Inuyasha, if I were you. I'd be silent." their father warned his younger son, his father never took his eyes of the book he was reading, but from the sincerity tone of his voice meant for Inuyasha to shut his mouth. "Why should I? He's a total moron!" Inuyasha snapped back at his father. Who sat on Sesshomaru left where Inuyasha sat on the other side, but had a good reaching distance if his father were to hit him.

"Inuyasha, last chance."

"No, he's was a total ass-hole to her! I mean, come-on Kagome now smoking hot! I'd so like to--OUCH! THE HELL??!!" he winced from being hit in the head with the book his father was reading. Then their father spoke, "I told you. Last chance, but no… you never listen."

"Oww…that hurt!! What the hell was that for??" exclaimed Inuyasha, as he held his had to the spot her his father hit him. "Simple, you're an idiot!" replied their father.

"Am not!!"

"Are so"

"Well, who's the idiot that carries around bricks?"

"It's not a brick, it's a book. Use your brain and eyes, Inuyasha… apparently you don't have a brain…" Their father chuckled, at the mere comment of his son being dumb.

"So, where did you get it?"

"From a bookstore."

Inuyasha huffed and said, "I know that! I mean why is it in the car?" He smiled and then said, in a very matter-of-fact type of way, "It's hardly a car, Inuyasha. This is a limousine where are in…much bigger than a care, and I happen to always keep something readable handy."

"Yeah, other than porno magazines." Inuyasha chuckled. Then winced again as his father hit him. This time a little more harder than the last time. "Oww.." he moaned in pain, then looked at Inutaisho with a 'why?' look. "That was just for being rude, I don't need to jack-off to porno, unlike you. That's what you're mother is for." he said with an evil grin. "That's sick…" Inuyasha winced again, this time it wasn't from being hit in the head. He laughed and told them, "If you must know, I'm not reading anything obscene today."

"Like?… Wait, want to you mean, 'today'?!" Inuyasha exclaimed. Their grinned before saying, "Oh, like what me and your mother were, reading and trying last night for an example." It would have appeared that Inuyasha was about to loose his lunch.

"Ew! Dad, that's fucked-up!"

"No, it's not. C'mon it's normal for a man and wife to read ways to enhance the sexual pleasure within the marriage." He told them, in a matter-of-fact type way, which both annoyed Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

"Yeah, they call that Enzyte." responded Sesshomaru.

"So, our Dad's name is now Bob?" Inuyasha teased then laughed at the very thought of the penis enlargement commercial that was seen often on television. Their father was appalled, and then shouted "HEY! I don't need any kind of enlargement on anything on my body."

"Yeah, your dick and brain."

"My dick, or as I prefer Jr. Sho is just fine. Since, it looks like a baby's arm holding an apple and I had no trouble created you two," He then stopped and took a breath before saying, "Of course, the better side of you both, that actually as some brains, ran down both of your mothers' legs while convincing you."

"Oh, you're an ass-hole." sneered Inuyasha.

"It's his way of being a total moron, Inuyasha. Just relaxed and let him bitch." said unaffected by his father's atrocious comments.

"Oh, kinda like how we let you complain like a woman?" Inuyasha chuckled, then stopped when Sesshomaru smiled, which was rare and scary to begin with. He then told him, "Yeah… Inuyasha, the only male in this family that whines and bitches is you. Even your mother doesn't complain as much as you."

"Ouch." smirked their father.

"Shut-up!" Inuyasha barked, but then was hit in the head.

"You're a moron." Their father sighed, and then looked at Sesshomaru who then harshly said, "An ass-hole is more like it."

"Oh, fuck you both!" bellowed Inuyasha.

"No thanks, Inuyasha. You're not my type and you never will be." he told Inuyasha in a most callous way, but Sesshomaru held little amusement for anything really. To be honest this was a rather step-up for him. This didn't affect Inuyasha at all, seeing it was just another insult from his elder brother, he was use to it by now. He just responded back in a non-caring way, "Yeah, good thing too. Cause I know you've been looking at some younger males to see to your fancy." This didn't affect him one bit, seeing as he had more women in the past than this runt would ever have. So,he would have to enlighten the little bastard, "I happen to get laid by women, more frequent than you ever will in your whole miserable so-called life." He told him.

"Ouch, Sesshomaru. I think you're just jealous that I can get laid." Inuyasha snickered. As he wiped at his brow, "Oh, boys. The person who gets laid the most is I," their father said, and then glanced at the two before adding on, "By only one woman, may I add." They both rolled their eyes at their father. "Don't give me that, marriage isn't so bad once you find a perfect partner." he smiled at them. "I think he meant to say a 'willing' partner?" Inuyasha stated, more so than questioned, but he just responded back, "Your mother is more than just 'willing' when we do--" Sesshomaru cut him off, with finishing the sentence off for his father, "--the nasty." teased Sesshomaru.

"OMG! Did Sesshomaru just say, what I think he just said?" Inuyasha gasped teasingly, as he laughed along with their father. Closing his eyes with irritation Sesshomaru held the resistance to strangle both his younger brother and father. He muttered underneath his breath, "Fuck off!"

"Oh come-on, Sesshomaru. Lighten up!" chuckled Inuyasha, which only just pissed Sesshomaru off even more. Not wanting to be hit by Sesshomaru, Inuyasha changed the subject with asking his father, "So, what book are you reading? A romance novel?" he teased.

"Heavens, no."

"No. But he does read, Harry Potter."

Inuyasha laughed, "You're reading, Harry Potter??!" Their father obviously not getting that his youngest son was trying to mock him, "Yeah. It's great. I mean, it's a child's book, but it's very well done."

"What next? The Twilight series?" laughed, which actually made Sesshomaru snicker. Since his younger half-sister Rin was madly in-love with the series. More so in-love with the character, Edward Cullen. "Is she going to be madly in-love with Edward Cullen, too?" asked Sesshomaru.

"No. It's the Dark-Hunter novels. You're mother is madly in-love with that series, she also likes the Twilight too…which kinda scares me." he told his sons with a groan. Inuyasha scratching his head while laughing, "What scares me more. Is the fact that Sesshy-poo here knows the damn main character's name!! Not only the name, but the last name, too!" Inuyasha chuckled, while holding his sides. "Hey, moron! It's not hard to figurer out character's name. When she has a young and deathly-looking pale man named, Edward Cullen all over the place and her damn wardrobe." he stated as he rolled his eyes at his younger sister's obsession with the main character of the Twilight series. He couldn't understand for the life of him as to why an eighteen year-old girl would be so obsessed over something like that! All his life he was never able to understand women.

"Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say!"

"Inuyasha? Didn't you say you watched a movie called 'Twilight,' before?" Their father asked a now blushing Inuyasha. "N-No…" he stuttered.

"You. Watched. It?"

"Oh, shut up! Sesshomaru!"

"So, you did." stated a shocked Sesshomaru. It was one thing for his younger half-sister to read the series, but for a grown man in his now late twenties… that was a little… pathetic. "You're so pathetic." "Oh, shut your fucking mouth!" snapped Inuyasha, which caused him to receive other hit in the head by his father. When will the whelp ever learn? More likely never, it was Inuyasha after all.

"Ow…" winced Inuyasha. "Well, if you were smart you wouldn't get hit," their father chuckled. "THAT'S BULLSHIT! YOU HARRY POTTER FAG!!" bellowed Inuyasha.

"Yeah. And you read the Twilight books. Don't lie. " Sesshomaru teased.

"Actually he dose."

"DO NOT!"

"See. He dose." their father laughed

------------------------------------------------------------

By the time he had arrived back home. To his lonely little, well not little it was actually huge apartment. Already Six o'clock in the evening time and he was exhausted. Ready for bed or at lest he was until his thoughts had wondered to her yet again. He winced at his own seer stupid at the words that were spoken between the two of them.
