MissTuffcy: Sorry for such the long wait! I've been busy with an original work. I'm attempting to get it published next year. Wish me luck with that! X,x

Summary: "You don't understand….I loved her….a lot….And he took that from me….so I've decided to take something he loves away from him to show him how I felt! It's nothing personal against you," A sigh "I had a feeling that not cutting ties with that idiot would cost me dearly…I should have listened to Jaken…."

Note: Quotes by me won't have a "by" dash (–). It'll just be plain. Like the one in this chapter and chapter 2. Quotes by other people will have the "by" dash (–).

"Sometimes water is thicker than blood; family will cross you quicker than strangers."

Sesshomaru had been walking for a couple of minutes until he came to the end of the path to the roundabout parking lot. He pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed home.

"Hello?"

"Tohara, is Kai there?"

"Sesshomaru, is there something the matter? You sound a bit strained,"

"I'm okay…"

"Did something happen? Are you okay? Be truthful Sesshomaru!" Sesshomaru tensed at the word. He stayed silent. "Sesshomaru?"

"…Is Kai there?"

"…No…He left out a couple minutes ago to work,"

"Oh…I see…"

"Sesshomaru? Did something happen between you and Inuyasha?"

"You could say that," Sesshomaru shrugged lightly.

"Do you have a ride back? I can come-"

"That's alright, Tohara…I have no idea where here is and I doubt you'll be able to find me…" Sesshomaru turned his head slightly when he heard footsteps.

"Sesshomaru, will you tell me what happened?"

"I…maybe…" Sesshomaru hung up the phone. Sesshomaru turned to see Naraku walking down the path towards him. He had a thick coat hanging on his arm, a cigarette in his mouth and a lighter in his hand. He was flicking the lighter with an irritated furrow in his brow. "Hey," Naraku's gaze snapped up and he looked startled as he stared at Sesshomaru.

"Oh, hey there Sesshomaru," Naraku said with a smile. "Fancy meeting you here,"

"I was going to say the same," Sesshomaru offered a small smile. Naraku finally got his cigarette lit and he put his lighter away.

"Are you okay?" Naraku asked. Sesshomaru's smile faltered.

"Yes, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"You just sound a bit strained is all," Naraku shrugged. "So…what are you doing out here all alone?" Sesshomaru shrugged and turned away.

"I had a bit of a fall out with Inuyasha, nothing too big…" Sesshomaru whispered. Naraku made a noise of understanding.

"I could say the same for I and my brother," Naraku muttered around his cigarette. The two stood there in silence.

"How would you cope with the idea that everything you knew was a lie?" Sesshomaru whispered. Naraku was silent as he looked over the slightly trembling male. He shrugged the coat off his arm and draped it over Sesshomaru's shoulders, keeping his hands on the slighter man's shoulders.. Said man looked up at Naraku with a slight frown.

"As long as I can talk to you about it, I think I'd be okay..." Naraku mumbled. The two stared at each other a moment longer. Naraku noticed the slight glassy look to Sesshomaru's normally warm golden orbs. He turned the slighter male around and pulled him into a hug. Sesshomaru stiffened at first but then slowly relaxed. Naraku buried his face in Sesshomaru's hair. They stayed like that in complete silence - save the chirping crickets and singing cicadas - Naraku with his face buried in Sesshomaru's hair and arms wrapped around his waist with Sesshomaru resting against Naraku with his hands fisted in the taller man's shirt.

"I don't know what to believe anymore," Sesshomaru whispered, his grip on Naraku's shirt tightening. "I don't know what was real and what was fake...how do I know Inuyasha didn't also hire Kai to be my fiancé?" Sesshomaru's speech took on a breathy tone, as if he were on the verge of hysterically crying.

"What?" Naraku asked in shock - mostly because he hadn't known Sesshomaru was engaged.

"Oh Kami, Naraku, my life is all a lie! Who am I? Am I really a therapist or do I really need one like Inuyasha keeps saying?" Sesshomaru's grip on Naraku's shirt got tighter and his trembling grew worse. Naraku frowned.

"Would you like for me to take you home, Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru pulled away from Naraku slightly to look up at him.

"If you would, please," Naraku smiled at him.

"Of course," with his arm around Sesshomaru's waist, Naraku led the other man through the parking lot and to a black sedan. He opened the passenger door for Sesshomaru; however, before Sesshomaru could get into the car, they heard someone yelling his name. They both turned to see Inuyasha walking towards them.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha yelled.

"Excuse you?" Naraku raised an eyebrow. Sesshomaru glared at him.

"Go away, Inuyasha. My tolerance for you as run dry. I don't wish to see your face or hear your voice ever again!"

"Sessh, listen-"

"No!" Sesshomaru snapped. "You listen. Leave me alone. I'm done with you, I'm done with this, and I'm done with your family! I'm sick of this and it's not fair to me that you're dragging me along for the ride just because you feel pity."

"Sessh, it's your family too!"

"That's Sesshomaru to you and no its not. Dad disowned me, remember? After next week you won't have to worry about me. I will no longer carry your accursed name,"

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked with a frown.

"I'm changing my name to Kai's! Or did you pay him to be my fiancé as well?" Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "Goodbye, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru plopped into the passenger side.

"Sessh-!" Naraku closed the door and looked at Inuyasha with a blank expression. "Where the hell are you taking him?"

"I don't think that is any of your concern,"

"You better not hurt him because I swear, Naraku-" Naraku's eyes narrowed. He glanced at the car then to Inuyasha. He yoked the other man up and Inuyasha's eyes widened.

"Listen here," Naraku growled. "There is no way in hell I'll be able to hurt him as much as you've hurt him. You better stay away from him because if I even get the slightest suspicion that you've been pestering him, you will no longer exist," Naraku pushed Inuyasha away. "You better be more worried about the women and child that resides in your home then what Sesshomaru is doing," with that said, Naraku rounded the car. He gave Inuyasha a hard stare before he got into the car and drove away.

Sadly, I stop at around 1k words a chapter for this story. Well at least until I finish my original work. I have to work in 5k words a day for me to be able to finish 50k+ words by the 14th of January.

Reactions, please. :)
