MissTuffcy: It's been awhile! Sorry guys. I actually misplaced this story for awhile. I found it though so I'm happy I have it to type up again x3.

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…."

"Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart." ― Haruki Murakami

Kai breathed in sharply as he was abruptly thrown into the waking world by a crash. He grumbled moodily about having his sleep interrupted and twisted to get comfortable and patted the area next to him in search of Sesshomaru's warm body. His eyes cracked open when he was met with air. He sat up slowly and yawned widely, scratching at his abdomen. He squinted at the bedside clock.

It was 7 in the morning.

With a groan, he slipped from the bed and walked to the bathroom. After relieving himself, he stood in front of the sink, staring into the mirror at his bedraggled appearance. He splashed water on his face to wake himself up and went to investigate the source of the crash, still grumbling about missed sleep.

He made his way straight to the kitchen and woke up almost immediately when his nose caught the smell of coffee. The sight wasn't too bad either; he thought with a smirk as he 'admired the view' in the kitchen.

He had found the source of the noise to be Sesshomaru. It seemed the man had dropped a glass mug, which had broken into pieces, and he was in the process of picking them up - bent over with his ass up in the air looking oh so delectable to Kai. Kai felt stirring in his lose pajama pants and his smirk turned to a lecherous grin. He walked into the kitchen, grabbed onto Sesshomaru's hips and pulled him backwards into his crotch, which made the other gasp and jump as Kai began to speak. "Mmmmm….looks like I'll be having dessert for breakfast!"

"Kai!" Sesshomaru exclaimed. Kai let Sesshomaru stand up straight and turned the shorter to look up at him.

"Good morning, baby," Kai mumbled as he leaned down and kissed Sesshomaru on the nose. Sesshomaru smiled slightly at him. Kai rubbed their noses together and pouted. "We gonna have breakfast sex?"

"No," Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. Kai gave a long, drawn out sigh in mock disdain.

"Why not?" Kai whined. Sesshomaru chuckled.

"I'm not really in the mood," Sesshomaru mumbled. Kai smirked and leaned forward and pressed his lips to Sesshomaru's.

"Now?" Kai asked.

"No," Sesshomaru grumbled. Kai leaned forward again but this time let the kiss run on for more.

"Now?" Kai mumbled.

"No," Sesshomaru breathed. Kai smirk widened into a grin. He pressed his lips once more to Sesshomaru's and deepened the kiss. He ran his tongue across the seam of shorter's lips and was granted access. Kai pushed Sesshomaru against the counter and devoured Sesshomaru's mouth.

"How about now?" Kai breathed as he stared at Sesshomaru's flushed face. The shorter opened his eyes slightly.

"Maybe…" He whispered. Kai grinned as he hoisted Sesshomaru up to sit on the counter and ravaged Sesshomaru's mouth. He slid one of his hands up the other's shirt and flicked at a nipple, ganing a low moan from Sesshomaru. A thump made the two jump. Kai pulled away from Sesshomaru and glared at the person in the doorway.

"Oh my goodness, Sesshomaru-sama!" The girl in the doorway squeaked. "I'm sorry! I didn't know you were in here!" She bent to pick up the spilled groceries.

"God, Rin," Kai groaned. "You have terrible timing!" He sighed as Sesshomaru pushed him away so he could slide off the counter.

"Rin, what are you doing back here?" Sesshomaru asked. "Our 5-year contract is up and I haven't the funds to renew it right now," Sesshomaru frowned.

"Silly," Rin smiled. "Your brother extended it to 10 years. Besides, I like working for you," Rin grinned. "Your house is nice and your stove is perfect! No defects what so ever!" She giggled again. Sesshomaru frowned.

"I see…" He sighed and left the kitchen. Kai frowned. Rin turned to Kai with a confused frown.

"What is wrong with Sesshomaru-sama?" She asked. Kai sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.

"He and Inuyasha are not on speaking terms right now. It's complicated," Kai explained shortly. Rin nodded.

"Well, I'm going to get started on breakfast," Rin said. Kai nodded and left out the kitchen after Sesshomaru.

"Sessh," Kai called. "Sessh, babes, where are ya?"

"He's in the den," Kai frowned and looked up the stairs where the voice came from. It was Tohara walking down the hall.

"Geez, do you people knock? Ring a door bell?"

"I have the key," Tohara said before he disappeared down the hall.

"So do I," Rin called from the kitchen. Kai grumbled incoherently and walked towards the den. He stopped in the doorway to see Sesshomaru staring down at a photo album. Kai walked in and sat next to him.

"Who is that?" Kai asked, pointing to the girl in the picture standing next to a scowling man who he recognized as Sesshomaru's father; Toga.

"My mother," Sesshomaru mumbled. Kai leaned forward and looked between the picture and Sesshomaru.

"Now I see it. You look just like her! Almost identical," Kai smiled. Sesshomaru gave a weak smile of his own. "How come I never met her?" Kai looked back down.

"I…she died…a few months after I was born," Sesshomaru mumbled.

"Oh...I'm sorry," Kai whispered lowly. He hugged Sesshomaru to him as the two looked through the photo album.

"I always felt that father always blamed me for her death…" Sesshomaru mumbled. Kai frowned.

"You know it's not your fault, right? Doctors are always doing something stupid!" Sesshomaru chuckled.

"I know…but I can never escape the feeling…" Sesshomaru murmured. Kai watched Sesshomaru silently flip through the album. Sesshomaru sat it to the side and picked up a red one. He opened it and Kai made a noise of surprise.

"Those are from when we first started dating!" Kai exclaimed. Sesshomaru chuckled.

"Yeah…"

"Wait...how the heck-"

"Kitsu loved taking pictures," Sesshomaru said with a shrug. "He'd get them developed and give them to me.

"That boy had a huge crush on you," Kai mumbled. Sesshomaru looked up at Kai in surprise.

"Really?" Sesshomaru breathed. Kai looked at him with a frown.

"You mean you didn't know? Damn Sessh," Kai chuckled. "Everyone knew! It was really obvious!" Kai laughed again as Sesshomaru glared at him. "Whatever happened to short-stuff? And the other one…what was his name?"

"Kurouko…Eh…" Sesshomaru looked back down at the album. "After father cut ties with the Motou's business, I lost touch with them," Sesshomaru sighed. Kai frowned.

"I see…So when did you move into this house?" Kai asked. "I've always been curious but always forget to ask,"

"It was…well…it was sometime after your arrest," Sesshomaru mumbled. He looked up at Kai. "I…couldn't afford to keep the apartment and pay for school…Inuyasha volunteered to do both. He ended up just paying for this house for me. I told him I'd pay him back as soon as I landed a job," Sesshomaru sighed. He looked back down at the book. "It is pretty pathetic that my little brother is taking care of me…" Sesshomaru shook his head. Kai frowned but kept silent. The two sat in silence as Sesshomaru flipped through the photo album. Kai had moved closer to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders to look on with him.

"Hey…Uh…Sessh," Sesshomaru hummed. "Um…I…well," Sesshomaru looked up at Kai with a frown. "Okay," Kai breathed. "You see…I kind of got this promotion from the boss and well…the location is waaay across town and uhm…it's not really…well…uh…" Kai rubbed the back his neck as Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.

"You want to move?" Sesshomaru asked. Kai let out a breath.

"Yeah – but I know that I can't decide for us and well you've lived here for longer than we've been together and it'll be a bit weird living around people you don't know and I promise you I'll find a house that is fit for you and I will pay for everything and even moving costs and I'll hire a maid and butler and cook if tha-" Sesshomaru shut the babbling man up with a kiss. He pulled away from Kai with a smirk.

"Of course, Kai…but you don't have to do all that," Sesshomaru shook his head with an amused chuckle.

"So…uh…you want to?" Kai asked. Sesshomaru nodded.

"I want to get away from this house," Sesshomaru grumbled. Kai smiled and kissed Sesshomaru on the nose.

"Good! We'll go house shopping later? I narrowed it down to 4 houses already and I just needed your input," Kai said as he stood up. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow as he watched Kai walk out of the den.

"You've been thinking about this for awhile, haven't you?" Sesshomaru chuckled.

"I just wanted to make sure we had some choices if you had agreed," Kai said, appearing in the doorway with a grin. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and stood. He was getting ready to leave the room but the phone ringing stopped him. He answered it.

"Hello, T-"

"Oh! Mamoru! Please put Sesshomaru on, quick! This is an emergency!"

"Kagome? This is Sesshomaru," Sesshomaru frowned. Kai walked closer to Sesshomaru.

"It's terrible, Sesshomaru! Something happened to Inuyasha and now he's in critical condition! I don't know what to do…I-I didn't know who else to call!"

Sesshomaru froze and his eyes widened slightly.

CLIFFY!
