Ch. 14 Savage Brothers

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered. "Sesshomaru, get your hands off of her!" Inuyasha yelled out. He marched to Kagome and grabbed her arm so forcefully that she flinched. "Inuyasha let me explain," Kagome started but was interrupted. "I go all over Japan to find you and I see Sesshomaru forcing himself on you," Inuyasha said with so much definition as he glared at his older half brother. Sesshomaru bared his teeth and demanded, "Let her go." "What are you gonna do about it? Force me? She belongs to me!" Inuyasha said. "She doesn't belong to anyone," Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha gave a vicious chuckle, "You expect me to believe that? She was sold to you by slave traders. Don't worry, your precious Rui didn't leak out that information… he is a subdued little fox that holds his loyalty to you unfortunately."

Sesshomaru scoffed, "I wasn't worried about it. Now for the last time, let her go." Inuyasha then looked at Kagome and saw the pain that streaked her face. Inuyasha released her with a grunt. "Kagome, come with me now," Inuyasha said to her. "Inuyasha, you never do listen to me do you?" Kagome asked as she put her hands on her hips. Inuyasha's nostrils flared as he smelt the air, "You smell like him! Is that what you wanted to tell me? He forced himself on you, didn't he!" Inuyasha then got out his sword and it transformed, "I'm gonna kill you for what you did to her!" "Inuyasha…" Kagome was again interrupted. "Fight me right here, right now!" Inuyasha growled out as he waited for his brother to get into a fighting stance as well. Kagome sighed and said with more force, "Inuyasha…"

"Just shut up and let me protect you! I won't let him touch you again!" Inuyasha yelled out as he kept his focus on Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru cocked his eyebrow, "I'm not going to fight you." "Why not?" Inuyasha demanded. "For one, we're in my castle and I don't want to ruin it. Two, Kagome doesn't want us to fight and I'm going to respect her wishes," Sesshomaru explained. "How do you know! She didn't say anything," Inuyasha said. "Inuyasha, I was trying to explain to you but you just won't…" Kagome tried once more and was beat to the punch. Inuyasha laughed, "Kagome, it's okay; I got this." Kagome gritted her teeth, sucked in some air and yelled out, "Sit, sit, sit, SIT!" Inuyasha's rosary glowed and he was slammed into the ground over and over again, causing a hole in the floor.

Kagome sighed and gave Sesshomaru a look that meant, 'this isn't over yet.' Sesshomaru wanted to laugh at this, but he knew that it wasn't the appropriate time. Kagome crouched down to the floor and waited for Inuyasha to regain his composure. Inuyasha coughed up some dirt and sat up, "What in the hell was that for?" "Just shut up and listen to me for once Inuyasha. Sesshomaru didn't force himself on me. Inuyasha, I love him," Kagome finished. Inuyasha nearly screamed, "What!"

"I mean it Inuyasha. I fell in love with him."

"No, I won't believe it. It's impossible."

"Impossible to you how?"

"It hasn't even been that long."

Inuyasha, you don't know what happened."

"Well then explain it to me, without him around."

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and said, "I need to speak to Inuyasha alone please." Kagome gave Sesshomaru a pleading look and hoped that he would understand. Sesshomaru nodded and excused himself from the room. Kagome walked to the doors and closed them before more rain could come in. Inuyasha got out from the hole in the floor and waited for Kagome. Kagome had her back to him and was trying to find the right words to say to Inuyasha. Instead Inuyasha was the first one to speak, "Kagome, please, you can't be in love with that mongrel." Kagome faced him and said, "Why not?" Inuyasha looked to the side and hesitated, "It's because, because… Kagome, I'm the one that's in love with you!"

Kagome stepped back, "That's impossible. You love Kikyo and it has always been her. You know this. I'm just your friend and you're only saying this because you think you're being replaced. Inuyasha you are special to me, but not like that." "I don't love Kikyo," Inuyasha lashed out. He continued, "I have loved you for a long time. You're the one for me. Don't choose him over me. I can make you happy." Inuyasha marched to Kagome and put his hands on her shoulders. Kagome tried to get out of his grasp but he bent down and kissed her on the lips. He delved his tongue into her mouth and made her be a participant. When he was done he released her to see what her reaction would be. "Well?" Inuyasha said.

Kagome was in shock for a moment before she regained herself. She glared at him with a blush streaking her face, "Don't do that again." "But Kagome, we have been through so much and you have known me longer then him. I thought…" Inuyasha trailed off. "You thought wrong. A lot has happened since you were gone. Yeah at first I was his slave, and yes I wasn't treated the best at first. He wanted to use me against you, to make you hurt," Kagome explained. "I knew it!" Inuyasha nearly screamed out. Kagome stomped her foot, "Let me finish damn it!" Inuyasha's ears flattened to his head. "Sesshomaru learned how to experience emotions because of me. I taught him how to feel and fall in love himself. He doesn't want to get back at you anymore," Kagome finished.

"How in the hell did you do that?" Inuyasha questioned. Kagome stepped away from Inuyasha and said, "He saved my life Inuyasha. He gave me his blood so that I wouldn't die." Kagome then explained about everything that happened about Itsuko, Clay and Naraku. Inuyasha had a hard time believing it, "Show me the scar." Kagome blushed, "I can't do that because there is no scar left where she cut me. Sesshomaru used his blood remember? Its pure demon blood and it healed me completely. It means… I don't even know how to explain it. Do you know anything about bonding?" "Bonding, what in the hell is that?" Inuyasha asked. "Of course, you were raised by humans like me, so you wouldn't know. Maybe Sesshomaru should explain it to you because I really can't," Kagome said this as she began to walk away to find Sesshomaru.

"I don't want to talk to him," Inuyasha complained as he followed her. "Please don't complain about it. He's your brother and you need to get over it," she said this as she made her way to the study, where she knew he would be. They entered and Sesshomaru was sitting behind his desk and Kagome could tell that he was becoming impatient. "You didn't escort that mutt out?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome gave him a look. "Mutt? To hell with you!" Inuyasha yelled out once more. "Enough, the both of you! There are bigger problems then you two. Sesshomaru, please explain to Inuyasha about bonding," Kagome inquired.

"Educating the uneducated is such a hassle. Bonding dear brother is a ritual in the demon world. It is when two beings share their blood to become one, hence the bonding term. It is when two souls are mated for life. At the moment I am bonded to Kagome, but she has yet to bond with me. Meaning that I cannot become a mate with anyone else but her for the rest of my life," he finished explaining. Inuyasha busted up laughing, "So that means you can't have sex for the rest of your life. Sucks for you." Inuyasha then turned to Kagome, "So you two didn't have sex after all. You just smell like him because of this whole mess. You know you're not obligated to him just because he saved your life. I mean he could have used the Tensuiga on you instead of sacrificing something like that."

"I can have sex with whoever I want. Bonding is a demon ritual equivalent to a human marriage. I also didn't want to use the Tensuiga on her because there was a slim chance that I may not have been able to retrieve her soul. I didn't want to leave her life to chance; instead I made sure she was able to survive," Sesshomaru said this as he stood up from his chair. "And Inuyasha, I did mate with her for her. Not to get back at you or to cause problems. I love Kagome for her and we're finishing the bonding tonight." "No! You hate humans! This is all just to get back at me! You have always ruined everything, but this is just too much to take the very thing that I love and twist it against me," Inuyasha tried to keep his temper down.

"Inuyasha, calm down," Kagome said. Inuyasha shook his head, "No, I won't calm down. Just give me a chance to win you back." Kagome didn't know what to say; instead she looked to Sesshomaru for some help. Sesshomaru stared at Inuyasha for a long time before he said, "Inuyasha there is a more pressing matter then this right now. Naraku is on the hunt for Kagome and he won't stop until we kill him. Maybe after we defeat Naraku we can continue this conversation?" "Why would Naraku want Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned. Sesshomaru sighed, "Because he is trying to get to me. I hold the jewel shards now." Inuyasha felt betrayed as he looked at Kagome, "You gave them to him?" "Not exactly Inuyasha," Kagome said. "I took them from her because that was another tool I was going to use against you at the time," the lord of the west explained. "You know how to fuck around with me don't you?" Inuyasha spelled it out.

"We do have a past and I know all your weaknesses; which are many," Sesshomaru said this as his temper was waning. Inuyasha was about to start when Kagome got in between them, "Look, we're all under a lot of pressure right now and I think we should just call it a day." "Will you complete the bonding with him tonight?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome bit her lip and said, "I don't know. I'm just really confused right now and this isn't helping much. Just let it be and we can talk some more in the morning to see what we can do to fix this mess." "I want to fix this mess in the way I know how. Sesshomaru I'm setting a challenge against you," Inuyasha threatened as he growled at the lord. "You dare to challenge this Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru said as he stood up from his chair. Inuyasha nodded with a cocky grin, "Yeah I do and since I called out the challenge I get to set the rules."

Sesshomaru raked his claws through his hair, "Alright, set your terms." "You're not to finish the bonding with Kagome until this challenge is over, which will be tomorrow morning," Inuyasha stated. "And this challenge is to uphold what honor?" Sesshomaru inquired. Inuyasha glared at his brother, "The honor of Kagome. If I win I get to have her." "If I win then you will never come onto my land again and see her, unless Kagome wants it," the lord said in retaliation. Kagome intervened, "I don't mean to interrupt you two, but what exactly does this challenge mean. I feel a little left in the dark here, and since this is about me I think I have a right to know." "I don't know much about demon laws but I do know this one. If someone sets a challenge then they have to honor it. If they don't then they will die, whether they are a lord, king, or whatever. It is the law. Isn't that right Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru bared his fangs, "Of course I know the laws of a challenge. I'm not as ignorant as you in demon customs. I suggest you sleep off of my property because I won't allow you to stay here." "Did I finally hit a nerve?" Inuyasha said with a cocky grin. "I suggest you get out now before I issue my own challenge to you," Sesshomaru warned. Inuyasha laughed as he began to leave the study, "See you tomorrow, and Kagome; I won't let you down." With that he left the room, now satisfied that he got one over Sesshomaru. When the door closed Kagome could sense that Sesshomaru was near his boiling point. She gave off a nervous sigh as she saw Sesshomaru try and calm himself down. Her mouth opened to speak, but she was at a loss of words. She didn't want to cause a fight between the two, and she tried to divert it, but it didn't work.

Sesshomaru began to walk out of the room and Kagome followed him down the hallway. They came to their room and Sesshomaru turned on Kagome, "Don't come near me." "Why not?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru scoffed, "Why not indeed." "What is that supposed to mean?" Kagome continued to question Sesshomaru as he opened the door to the room. He walked inside and Kagome hesitantly followed him. Sesshomaru glanced at her and said, "What would you be confused about? Are you confused about your feelings for Inuyasha or for me, or both?" Kagome's eyes widened when she realized that he was being jealous over Inuyasha. "Sesshomaru, if you would let me explain then I could tell you that isn't what I meant when I said confused. I meant that I'm confused with how to respond to him and how to divert the conversation. I mean I don't usually talk about my personal life with anyone; especially if it is my sex life. It's embarrassing to say the least," Kagome explained as she gave him a look. She continued, "Are you done being jealous now?"

Sesshomaru looked away, "This Sesshomaru does not get jealous." Kagome put her hands on her hips, "You do get jealous or you wouldn't have snapped at me like that. If anything I think you owe me an apology." Sesshomaru gulped down, "Maybe so." Kagome's face got red. "I apologize Kagome for, as you say, snapping at you," He said as he now gazed at her. "I know, and I wasn't expecting Inuyasha either. I just don't know what to do with him without breaking his heart. He said he loved me, but I only ever saw him as a friend. What can I do to fix this?" Kagome questioned as she sat on the bed. Sesshomaru joined her, "You can't really do anything. He will be hurt no matter what you do to try and fix it. He will eventually get over it and go back to Kikyo. I personally think that he is saying all this because he thinks I am getting in the way of his friendship with you. He gets jealous even more then I do."

"I guess we won't know what will happen until tomorrow morning, but don't hurt him too badly," Kagome commented. "You must have a lot of confidence in me to say that. You think I'll win?" Sesshomaru asked, interested in her response. Kagome nodded, "I know you will. You have won more fights against Inuyasha then I can count. You'll do great. Besides, just because we can't finish the bonding ritual doesn't mean we can't have some fun right?" Sesshomaru gave her a wicked smile as he pinned her to the bed and began to kiss on her neck, murmuring sweet nothings in her ear.

Morning came soon enough and when Kagome awoke she saw that Sesshomaru was already awake and dressed. She yawned and stretched almost like a cat as Sesshomaru approached the bed. "Why didn't you wake me?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru smiled down at her, "I didn't want to disturb you." "Liar," she commented back. "So you got me. I don't want you at the fight," he told her. Kagome immediately sat up from the cushions, "And why not?" "There are several reasons why you shouldn't be there," Sesshomaru said. Kagome crawled off the bed and stood before her lover, "I'm supposed to be the prize right? I should be there to be a witness, or are you afraid I will be hurt because you know that Inuyasha will never try to hurt me; and neither will you." "It's not that Kagome. I just don't want you interfering because that is against the law. If you used your incantation on Inuyasha because you were scared for me then it would ruin everything that I'm fighting for. Not only that but I have a feeling that Inuyasha will use my feelings for you against me," he explained to her.

"That isn't fair Sesshomaru. You were going to use me against your brother before and I know you can't be baited easily. As far as me 'sitting' Inuyasha, I won't do it. I promise I won't," Kagome pleaded with him. "I was hoping you would watch Rin," Sesshomaru countered. Kagome gave him a look that meant that she would not bend, "I love Rin and you know this, but don't use that tactic on me. You can be sly but not that sly. You think you can persuade me to not go and it isn't going to happen. Besides, I know that Inuyasha would demand I should be there. He is the one who set the challenge after all." Sesshomaru growled at her, "I said no and I mean it this time Kagome. Don't make me lock you in this room. You always have to argue with me about everything."

Kagome stood on her tippy toes as she pointed into his chest with her finger, "Damned straight I do. If I don't think it's right then I will and if you recall, the last time I was alone I was almost…" Sesshomaru put his hand over her mouth before she could finish her sentence, "I know this. You don't have to remind me. Unfortunately you make a valid point. I guess you win again don't you?" "I don't want to win all the time, but I do believe in being fair. You should at least be that with me more then anyone. I deserve to be there, and besides, once this is over with your brother we still need to take care of Naraku," Kagome mentioned. Sesshomaru nodded, "Yes he needs to be taken down. If Inuyasha wasn't here then I would be on my way to Naraku right now." "Too bad we couldn't have seen this coming, but you knew Inuyasha was going to come here eventually," she said this as she got into her dresser and picked out a kimono.

"Wear the blue one. It brings out your eyes," Sesshomaru commented as he side glanced the woman he fell in love with. Kagome smiled as she picked it up and held it up for him to see. "That one is one of my favorites," Sesshomaru said as he turned to her. He walked up to Kagome and bent down to kiss her on the lips. They melded together as his tongue intertwined with hers in a frenzied kiss that grew more passionate with each passing second. Kagome dropped the kimono and laced her fingers behind his neck as she stood on her tip toes. Sesshomaru's arms came around her waist as he tugged her closer, not wanting to let her go. Sesshomaru brought his hands up and began to undress Kagome.

He took the straps of her night gown and dragged them down her shoulders to her waist. Her breasts exposed he began to knead them to where the nipples became hard. He bent down to her and began to suck at the nipples and playing with them with his expert tongue. She moaned as her fingers came into his hair and began to make a mess of it. He grasped onto her as he felt her knees begin to quiver. Kagome grabbed his shoulders and raked her fingernails into the cloth of his kimono. Sesshomaru looked up at her at this moment and smiled. He straightened himself up and kissed her lightly on the lips. Kagome regained herself as she said, "I do love you so much Sesshomaru. I hope you know that." Sesshomaru smiled at her cheek and replied, "And I you, miko of my desire."

Kagome giggled as he called her a miko, but she loved it when he called her those little pet names. It made her feel special, wanted, needed and most importantly; loved. Sesshomaru made her feel all of these things and she felt that this was the perfect union that she would want to have for the rest of her days. If only Inuyasha hadn't come, but at one point and time she did want him there. It was curious how someone's thoughts and feelings could change with time. It was also weird how at one point Kagome hated Sesshomaru, but now she loved him with her heart of hearts. All of a sudden Kagome heard a crash come from the hallway. "Where is he!" A yell was heard reverberating through the walls. A servant screamed, "You can't be in here sir! The lord has yet to come out of his chambers!"

Kagome felt Sesshomaru tense as the yelling continued, "That stupid mutt. I will have his head on a platter when I'm done with him." Kagome pinched him on the side of his waist, "Don't you dare do that." Sesshomaru gave out a belated sigh as he rested his head on her shoulder. It was one of those tired sighs that rarely came from him. "I won't. I'm just getting angry." Kagome nearly smiled, "Yes I know. I would be too if I were in your position as well." Before anymore could be said the front screen came crashing into the room and splinters of wood shot by. That is when Sesshomaru turned around and literally barked out at the intruder; Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was about to say something when he saw Kagome nearly naked beside Sesshomaru. Her breasts were exposed with her nightgown hugging at her hips. Kagome screamed as she covered her chest with her hands and turned around, "Get out Inuyasha!" Inuyasha's face got red and he looked away, "What in the hell are you doing half naked with Sesshomaru!" Kagome quickly put the straps up on her night rail and put her hands on her hips, "I live in here. Remember the conversation we had yesterday?" Inuyasha finally looked up at her, "I didn't think you were serious." "I am serious. I live in Sesshomaru's room and…" Kagome stopped as Inuyasha came up to her sniffing. "You even stink like him," he accused as he eyes narrowed on her. "Did he force you again?"

"You are perhaps the dumbest person I met in my life Inuyasha. So we slept together, so what?" Kagome admitted. Inuyasha stood up in front of her, "You slept with him? That would mean you both broke the rules of the challenge." Kagome smirked, "I thought you would try that, but you said finish the bonding ritual. You never said we couldn't have…" Inuyasha put his hand over her mouth, "Please, don't finish that sentence." Kagome stepped away to where his hand fell, "Sex, sex, sex, sex, SEX! Do I have to spell out my whole personal life with you? I had sex. I love sex. I had sex with your brother. It was the best. Is there anything else you need to know? I wear pink underwear. I love boy band groups. My blood type is AB+, and I hate the color orange!" Kagome sat in the chair at her dressing table and took in a deep breath.

Kagome looked up and saw that Sesshomaru was having a hard time not to laugh. He rarely did, but when he did you knew it was funny. Kagome had no idea that she was a comedian. Inuyasha saw the same humor in his half brother and growled, "This isn't funny." "On the contrary, I think this is hilarious. The woman you claim to love is basically telling you to leave her alone and you can't take a hint," Sesshomaru explained. Inuyasha huffed out, "What do you know of it?" "I know that you love Kikyo, you always have. Yet when Kagome decides to love someone else you ultimately decide that you love her indefinitely. I don't think you realize what you're doing. You just love the idea of being in love with her," Sesshomaru finished, making his point clear. "T-That's not true! I always loved Kagome!' Inuyasha proclaimed. Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow, "You may love her in a way, but you're not in love with her. You're just mad because she is in love with me. You hate the fact that she is in love with me so you will do anything you can to try and end it. Even if you think your lies are the truth."

"You think you know everything!" Inuyasha spat out. "I don't know everything, but I do know enough about you to know you. I am your brother, whether you like it or not and I won't lie to you about this subject. I love Kagome and she is in love with me. Trying to break this bond will break you, but I will play your game and get this challenge done and over with. Besides you always did have a hard time hearing what I had to say," Sesshomaru said with his final effort to get through to his brother.

"I just don't listen to you. There is a difference. You were supposed to be meeting me this morning. Remember?" Inuyasha spat out with his eyebrows narrowed. "You need to learn how to respect others. Get out of my estate and I will be down in the yard in a moment," Sesshomaru ordered. Inuyasha was about to argue when he saw Sesshomaru's eyes glow red. Inuyasha scurried out of the room and down the hall.
