Kagome walked into the house after watching Inuyasha speed off. It was eerily quiet she walked past the living room; it seemed that everyone was already out of the house or they had yet to awaken. Kagome ascended the staircase, when she was at the top of the stair case she noticed that Rin's door was cracked. Kagome approached slowly.

"Rin" Kagome called softly. "May I come in?"

There was no reply so Kagome opened the door and found a sleeping Rin on the floor with her Kimono covering her like a blanket. Kagome kneeled down and shook Rin's shoulder.

"Rin wakie-wakie" Kagome said louder.

Rin groaned and opened her eyes slowly. "Kagome" she squeaked her eyes red and tearing up.

"Rin you need to talk to me" Kagome said.

Rin sighed "Let me get up and dressed, I will go to your room and explain everything." She said slowly as if forcing the words out without crying.

Kagome nodded and went to her room to await an explanation of last night's events. When Rin arrived in Kagome's room, she casually sat down on Kagome's bed and patted the spot next to her signaling Kagome to move from the chair she was currently seated on and move closer.

"So Kagome, where did you run off to last night?" Rin asked as casually as she could.

Kagome shook her head "Nice try Rin but you talk first." Kagome spoke sternly her eyes shining with concern and caution as she saw Rin's eyes become downcast and filled with pain, anger and sadness.

Rin lost her forced smile, "I was a bad girl last night, Kagome, I have not only lost my boyfriend, but I have also lost the one I love." She said and the tears she tried so hard to control came pouring out of her eyes.

After listening to the story Kagome got up abruptly "Look Rin you didn't do anything wrong. Cheer up. I have to go meet Sango in ten minutes, eat a gallon of ice cream and I will be back." Kagome said giving Rin the biggest big she could, while Rin smiled a small genuine smile and nodded her head.

Kagome let go of Rin and walked out of the room. It was true she was supposed to meet Sango, but that would have to wait. She was on a mission to kill. "Sesshomaru" Kagome whispered her voice dark and laced with venom. As she stepped foot out of the front door she was greeted by someone she did not expect."

"Kagome I was hoping I could speak with you it is very important" Kagome sighed Killing Sesshomaru would have to wait, she would first have to deal with Hiten.


Ayame awoke from one of the most peaceful sleeps she had had in years, her mind began to wonder to the events of the previous night and a smile graced her lips. She attempted to get out of bed and get ready for the day, but a strong arm around her waist pulled her back down. Confused she looked at the owner of the arm currently holding her hostage. She saw the only person who could take her breath away. Koga lay still asleep snoring softly. Ayame smiled she traced his jaw line, down his neck, and over his arm encircling her waist.

"Now Koga how did you end up in my bed?" she whispered.

Koga pulled her down moving her hair away from her neck and replacing it with his nose inhaling her sweet iris scent. "You invited me." He stated simply placing soft kisses on her neck. Ayame giggled.

"So what do you have planned for today?" He asked pulling her closer to himself.

Ayame struggled out of his hold and sat up "well tonight is the briefing at the Higurashi place. SO I thought that I would call the girls and talk them into shopping, before the meeting." She placed a small kiss on his nose and got up walking to her dresser.

She pulled out some clothes while Koga sat up a smirk gracing his handsome face, his blue eyes seemed stormy and filled with love.

"You can go get dressed" Ayame said pointing to the door trying not to giggle like a love sick school girl.

Koga's smirk got bigger. "I'd rather stay and watch"

Ayame let out a small giggle and tried to regain her stern composer as she began to speak "Koga you perv get out or I will scream" She said as Koga stalked towards her.

Ayame shivered as he pulled her into his embrace and kissed her sweetly on the cheek. "Well I would love to hear you scream my name." He whispered into her ear. He released her from his grasp and walked out of the room leaving Ayame clutching the dresser to support her weight from crashing to the ground in a lustful daze.

Nothing seemed to cool the thoughts that came to her mind after Koga's comment, not even the intense cold shower. She dressed in jean shorts and a plain tank top, knowing that she would be chaining in and out of clothes at the mall and wanted to have a simple outfit on. When she went down stairs she saw Ginta and Hakkaku eating.

"Ayame one-chan, how are you this morning" Ginta asked. Hakkaku looked at her and blushed.

"I am good how you are both this morning?" She asked curious as to why Hakkaku was blushing and would not look her in the eyes.

"Good" Ginta replied while Hakkaku smiled avoiding her gaze.

Ayame felt an arm slink around her waist, she smiled up at her boyfriend who kissed he softly on her lips. He looked up at his cousin and waved. He maneuvered himself and Ayame out of the floor. He was not looking forward to a day of carrying a bunch of bags for three girls, he would have rather spent the day with Ayame alone locked away in his room, or "their room" he thought with a smile. But he could go along with what she had planned for the day as long as she was happy.


Inuyasha Arrived home at one in the afternoon, after last night he needed a shower then he needed to speak to his girlfriend. As he made his way to his room all he could thing about was a half-naked Kagome, he sighed and hurried to his cold shower. When he was done he walked down the stairs and heard a car pull up the driveway. Sesshomaru walked in a few minutes later covered in blood. Inuyasha was shocked at the sight before him and the powerful and enraged aura that surrounded him. Sesshomaru disappeared upstairs and to his room. Inuyasha pulled out his phone dialing his girlfriend's phone number. The line rang five times and went to her voice mail, Inuyasha tried six more times before giving up and deciding to go to her house. The clock began to chime signaling three o'clock. Inuyasha heard another car pull up he thought it was his parents so he went to his room and got his gear but like a ton of bricks he felt an aura so powerful and full of rage ready to kill. Inuyasha quickly flew down the stairs while Sesshomaru appeared at the top looking ready to go into battle. The front door began to tremble under the furious knocks. Inuyasha went to the door ready to fight whatever was behind it, he opened it slowly and was surprised at what he saw. There in jogging pants and pink tank top stood Kagome her miko aura ablaze. Inuyasha's breath caught in his throat she looked absolutely delectable , standing their anger pouring off of her in waves, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes swirling between brown, grey and blue. She was brought out of his stupor when she brushed past him and into the house.

"Kagome" he called hesitantly.

Kagome turned to him her predatory gaze sent shivers up his spine, not fear but something he could not quiet describe.

"I am not her to speak with you, I am here to speak with him" she said pointing at Sesshomaru

"What the fuck?" Inuyasha said confused.

"Either we can speak civilly or I will kill him" Kagome said while Sesshomaru growled.

"What the hell are you talking about Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru drew his sword and Kagome's aura crackled, zapping Inuyasha. At this point Inuyasha did not know what to think, say, or do. He stood there in complete and utter bafflement. Kagome and Sesshomaru got along great; they were like siblings. That was how close they were so what could have brought this out.

Sesshomaru charged at Kagome, his eyes seeping red. Kagome quickly dogged his attack and sent purification energy his way her repelled them with his sword. She was now at the top of the stairs she drew her sword; she looked dead into Sesshomaru's eyes and dared him to attack her. He did just that, this time she did not move she blocked his sword with her own. The clanging of iron against iron, echoed throughout the house. Kagome pulled back slightly and jumped over the ledge and back down to the ground floor. Sesshomaru took this opportunity to use his poison whip throwing it down towards her, Kagome barley avoided the attack. Sesshomaru used it again, this time it hit the Kagome's sword and began to dissolve it, Kagome dropped it immediately. Sesshomaru jumped off the ledge and dogged the orbs of purification energy that Kagome threw at him. Kagome was not watching where she was and Sesshomaru backed her up into a wall he growled menacingly but Kagome showed no fear as he brought the sword up to her neck.

Inuyasha who was watching the scene was infuriated at his brother, his mind was beginning to get clouded his instincts urged him to save Kagome. When his brother backed Kagome into the corner and growled bringing the sword to her jugular, the dam inside Inuyasha broke. Faster than lighting he moved throwing his brother off of Kagome. He turned around staring dead into his brothers eyes daring him to challenge him. His brother looked taken aback as his eyes faded from red to their usual golden hue. Inuyasha growled loudly a sound he had never heard come from his mouth in any situation before. His keen senses picked up the faint scent of blood, he turned to Kagome who was still backed into the corner, her eyes held no fear, no regret, they only held confusion. Inuyasha looked her up and down and the he saw small beads of blood rolling down her neck, a small wound no bigger than two inches and no deeper than a paper cut was now marring her skin. Inuyasha moved his face closer to inspect the wound, as he got closer the metallic and spicy sent of her blood hit his nose, he could not help his tongue darting out licking the traces of blood starting at the abrasion and lapping down to the cleavage that was exposed by her tank top. His tongue darted back and forth until he was satisfied with the cleanup of her wound.

Kagome was in shock at what she saw, faster than anything she had ever seen Inuyasha had taken down his own brother. She saw that his youkai blood had taken over, the magenta stripes covering his cheeks, his fangs and claws elongated and his silver hair a mess. Kagome cursed to herself as she admired him as he was now in front of her protecting her from his brother, she cursed even more when he began to tend to her wound and she became aroused by the erotic situation she was in. When she could tell Inuyasha was done with her wound he looked up at her his clawed hand gently tracing her collar bone and up her jaw resting gently on her cheek. He scented the air and with a very hanyou Inuyasha smirk he moved his mouth over hers and possessively crashed his lips onto hers, his tongue forced its way into her mouth coaxing hers out to play. Kagome submitted to him in every way during their heated make out session, her hands in his hair pulled him closer, his free hand encircling her waist. Before she knew it he brought her legs of the ground and around his hips. He gently rocked his arousal against her covered heat, growling into their kiss.

"What the hell is going on her" a masculine voice boomed starling both Kagome and a now hanyou Inuyasha who kept Kagome pulled to him as he turned to see his father and mother standing in the door way.

Kagome pushed out of Inuyasha's grip, and out of the corner. Kagome walked over to Inu- no- Tashio and Izayoi. Kagome bowed while blushing furiously trying to calm her racing heart and heated body.

"This is my fault, I am so very sorry." Kagome said still bowing.

"You three will meet me in my office in twenty minutes and each of you will explain what was happening in my house." Inu-No-Taisho bellowed. Taking his wife's hand he walked up the stairs.

Kagome stood up straight not daring to look at either of the Takahashi brothers. Both, for completely different reasons, now she didn't know who she hated more the brothers or herself. Kagome's mind began to wander to what had happened with Inuyasha just minutes ago and her heart began to race, her mind in a daze.

"Kagome we need to talk" A baritone stoic voice called pulling her from her thoughts. She turned and saw Sesshomaru, nodding. She followed him to his room completely ignoring Inuyasha.

Inuyasha stared at Kagome as she walked away with his brother who minutes ago tried to kill her. His heart was still racing, everything that had occurred replaying in his mind. He knew when his youkai took over, it had happened many times before. But, what he did not understand was why he remembered the events that transpired. He usually after transforming could not remember a thing which would scare the living shit out of him. But, being able to remember was no better, even though he had saved Kagome from possibly being killed, his youkai could have killed her or worse taken her right then and there in front of his brother. He shuddered at the thought; these past months had been confusing enough being around Kagome but after what had just happened he did not know what to do. He could still taste her, feel her, smell her and it was driving him insane. She did not resist, no quite the opposite she was willing to submit to him, this made him smirk.


Ayame and Koga were at the Ito family residence, watching as Sango clobbered Miroku for trying to grope her breasts in front of her brother and guests. Miroku smiling and trying to explain that he could not help it, her beauty was just too hard to resist. Ayame giggle at the sight before her, Koga chuckling and shaking his head. Ayame walked up to Sango hugging her friend and trying hard not to laugh at the situation.

"So Sango have you heard from Kagome, I tried calling her about fifteen times and she has not picked up." Ayame said tying her best not sound overly worried and get Sango worried in the process.

It was not like their best friend to not pick up her phone especially if one of them called. Though Ayame knew Kagome could be sleeping, she had a feeling that something was not right. Sango Looked at her, Ayame notices how her eyes showed her mind working away at the possibilities at what could have befallen their friend. Then Sango's eyes light up like a light bulb.

"Do you have something to say Sango-chan?" Ayame asked

Sango shook her head. "Not really she is probably asleep she had a long night last night?" Sango told Ayame .

Ayame pulled out her phone dialing the number of the Higurashi residence.

"Hello Higurashi residence Moto speaking." Came the voice of the Higurashi head butler

"Oh Moto-San its Ayame I was wondering if Kagome was home, I needed to speak with her." Ayame said in her usual chipper voice.

"Ayame-Chan I am sorry but Kagome-chan left over two hours ago to meet Sango-Chan." He said

"Oh ok Moto-san thanks" with that Ayame hung up the phone and looked at Sango with disappear in her eyes.

"What's wrong Ayame?" Sango asked. Miroku and Koga both looked at Ayame noticing her fear.

"Kagome's not at home Moto-san said she left two hours ago to meet you Sango" Ayame said the possibilities of where her best friend could be at this very moment clouding her mind.

Sango looked up "Damn it all Takahashi" Sango muttered under her breath. But it was caught by the high sensory ears of her two wolf demon friends.

"What does he have to do with it Sango" Koga practically growled out. Ayame placing a hand on his shoulder tying to comfort her boyfriend.

"Well it started last night guys, I don't know if its my story to tell." Sango said trying to avoid dispelling to much about the previous night's events.

"Well Sango you better start making it your story to tell, Kagome could be hurt somewhere and it would all be that damn dogs fault." Koga growled.

"He wouldn't hurt her Koga" Sango said "I mean before last night I was sure he would but after what I saw I don't even think he really hates her." She said as she began to fill her friends in on the story of Kagome and the strip club.


"Sesshomaru I am sorry, but she was crying she blames herself and she shouldn't, I wanted to talk it out but when I saw you everything was a blur I lost my words and for that I am sorry." Kagome said sitting down in the chair opposite his desk.

"No the responsibility for this lands on me, I will not have you or Rin be blamed for my actions." He said pausing to think. "I was not thinking clearly last night, she presented herself to me and I was thrown, it is my fault for being weak." He stated simply bowing his head in shame.

"It's not weak to give in to the desires you have for the one you love Sesshomaru, it is weak that you can't admit those desires and feelings." Kagome said "She loves you, you know this, I know this, Hiten knows this and everyone who knows her knows this. "

Sesshomaru sat their shaking his head "It does not matter, I am bound to another I have given my word."

"Look at me Sesshomaru I need to tell you something, but you have to swear on everything you deem holy you won't be upset you will just sit there and listen." She spoke seriously. He nodded looking her in the eye. " Hiten spoke to me today about Rin, and what he had to say is going to break her , I mean really break her she will probably become like Kikyo." As she said this, Sesshomaru looked up questions filtering in his golden eyes.

"He is breaking things off with her because he found his other half while he was on his last mission." Kagome said sadness in her voice.

"What are you talking about?" he asked his voice barley a whisper.

"Do you know how he fell in love with Rin?" Kagome asked him. Sesshomaru shook his head no, and Kagome smiled.

"She mended his heart, she taught him to love and trust again. He once loved a girl whom he would have died for, she left him broken and cold, when Hiten went on his first mission alone Rin begged him not to go believing he would do something foolish like kill himself after his mission was over, all because of his heart break. When he saw her disheveled and truly caring for him and his well-being he vowed to live for her. When he came back he spent as much time with her as he could, she fixed his broken heart, and he fell in love. Of course she did not love him as he loved her but because of someone who ignored her" Kagome said pointing openly at Sesshomaru " She accepted him, but he could not fix her heart, because it was not broken, it is just missing its other half."

"On his last mission he ran into his first love broken battered and sharing the story of why she betrayed his love. Seeing her again he felt something he did not with Rin. He says he can't play with Rin's heart so he plans on breaking things off."

Sesshomaru looked absolutely livid, his hands clenched into tight fists his eyes dark gold filled with anger at the thought of Rin's heart being torn apart.

"Once he tells her she will break she will have no one left, so Sesshomaru you have a choice, you can tell her you love her or watch her break and become unfixable. I love her but I know not even I can fix her after he tells her." Kagome stood "It's up to you Sesshomaru, if you really love her, go to her." Kagome turned to leave.

"Here you are telling me to go after the one I love and yet you won't do it." He chuckled "If its not the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is." Sesshomaru concluded.4

"OK I don't have time for your antiquated saying and I don't know what you are talking about." Kagome said.

"Well I think you do after that little show down stairs I would say you definitely think you know what I am saying." He stated.

Kagome shook her hear " Look from me to you, my situation with Inuyasha is different, I loved him ya I will admit it, but the difference is he does not love me he never has he saw me as his friend and now his enemy. He has always loved Kikyo and that down stair was just pure lust from him, that was his youkai form if it was his hanyou form he would have never touched me, he probably would have let you kill me." She said her face fallen.

"I would not have killed you just showed you your place, but I saw he was Hanyou through most of your lust filled activity." He said trying to cheer her up.

"It doesn't matter to him I am a substitute for her I always will be, he made that perfectly clear freshman year. Even if he was Hanyou he probably was imagining her" Kagome said while tears escaped from her eyes.

Little did they know that outside the door stood Inuyasha listening to everything that was said. He shook his head. He began to walk to his father's office. "If only you knew Kagome." He said to the walls that surrounded him.

After explaining everything to Inu-No-Tashio he did the only thing he could, that was to laugh and send them on their way. Kagome ran quickly out of the house and to her car, she grabbed her purse from the passenger side and pulled out her phone.

"Shit seventy five missed calls" she said noting that all her friends had at least called her once.

Inuyasha watched her from the door way, he slowly walked over to her. When he got close to her he wanted to pull her against him scope her up and take her to his room and show her just how much he needed her at this moment. His hand darted out to her shoulder , and she looked up at him.

"Kagome" his voice came out husky and full of need.

"Don't Inuyasha please" She said looking past him fearing if she looked into his eyes she would give into what her body needed.

"Don't push me away Kagy-chan, please" he whined.

"Inuyasha I told you no please don't do this, stop what don't you get?" she was crying now

He pulled her into a hug. "I can't stop don't ask me to, just give in you want it to, you know you do."

Kagome's sobs came out louder, he pulled back and began to kiss her tears away.

"Get the fuck away from her you piece of shit" The Voice rang through the air.

"Damn it" he whispered "Kagome we will finish this" he said pulling away from her

He turned around to see Koga, Ayame, Sango and Miroku. "What the fuck to you all want can't you see were busy." He yelled at them.

"Fuck off Inuyasha, What did you do to make her cry?" Koga asked readying his claws to attack.

"None of your fucking business, Wolf-shit" Inuyasha growled out.

"Stop it both of you, he's right Koga its none of your business, I appreciate the concern but this has nothing to do with you." Kagome said

Koga was taken aback but nodded in understanding.

"Let's all go to the mall, you to Inuyasha for one day let's all try to get along." Ayame said as she headed to her car dragging Koga along, and Miroku Following Sango to his car.

Inuyasha turned to Kagome "Give me the keys I will drive." He said. She handed the keys to him and got into the passenger seat of the car. Inuyasha got into the car watching his friends speed out of the drive way he followed suit, his left hand on the steering wheel, his right hand on Kagome's thigh massaging the skin beneath the jogging pants. Kagome's head went back and a small moan came out of her mouth and Inuyasha smirked.


Sesshomaru picked up his desk phone and dialed a number.

"Hello I need to speak with you." He said his voice cold and void of emotion

"Baby what is it? I will come over right away." The voice on the other end called back.

"No don't bother; I just need to tell you it's over" He said, he felt as if a weight was lifted off his shoulders.

"I see, To tell you the truth I expected this sooner , but you know this means war don't you." The voice on the other end laughed.

"I know, but be sure, that if it is war I will win" Sesshomaru stated.

"Well it was fun Sesshomaru, but now its done" the other line went dead.

Sesshomaru began to dial another number, when the person picked up the phone he stated his command simply.

"Hello Sesshomaru, what's going on"

"She is mine and you will stay away" Sesshomaru ended the call, he stood and left his room trying not to show his anxiety over this new situation.
