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…."

"'Tis a terrible fate to be the object of someone's obsession" - Mei

The breakfast consisted of steamed rice and broiled fish. "I know you don't like a big breakfast so I only cooked your favorite," The man said.

'Either my mother enjoys the same meals as Ior this man has been watching me closer than I thought...' Sesshomaru thought as he took a seat at the island. He looked up when the man sat across from him. He hadn't really realized he had been staring for long until the man had banged a hand on the table – though not picking his head up from gazing down – to shout: "Stop staring at me!" Sesshomaru had jumped, startled at the sudden shout, and had averted his gaze towards his plate.

Nothing was said between the two.

When the two were finished eating, the man stood up and grumbled about taking a shower. Sesshomaru stared down at his plate. He hadn't really touched it – only having one bite. He pushed the plate away and laid his head down, wrapping his arms around his head. He felt sick – and he doubt it was any bacteria or virus making his stomach do flips and tricks.

He started when he felt the man rubbing up and down is arms. He made no sudden movement, even as those hands slowly trailed down his sides. When they went lower and settled on his thighs, Sesshomaru jumped up, toppling the chair over. He glared up at the man. He could take the random whispering, the random brush of a touch from time to time, the yelling, the dressing up like his mother, and the strangeness that is this situation – but this is where he drew the line. He refused to allow this man to touch him in such a way and refused to allow him to have sex with him and re- Sesshomaru's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the familiar face in front of him.

The man leaned down and pressed a rough kiss to his lips. Sesshomaru struggled until he was able to pull his face from the man and back up a few paces, still staring at the man in shock.

Iyasu Hospital

Jade held onto Kurokawa's hand as he stared at the man in the hospital bed. He had lost a lot of blood and had ended up needing a transfusion. The doctors said he'd be unconscious for a while but would make a full recovery. Jade lifted the man's limp hand up and pressed it to his lips. "I didn't think you were so sentimental," Jade said nothing nor changed his position for a while. He sighed and looked over his shoulder at the man in the doorway.

"Shut up," Jade said, his voice thick with something.

"My, my – Don't tell me you actually loved him!" it was Onigumo. He walked farther into the room and stood by Jadiyah's side. "How cliché," he chuckled.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up," there was no real venom behind his words. "I called you here for a favor, not to ridicule me."

"Fine, fine, fine," Onigumo chuckled. "What is it that you need of me?"

"This favor," Jadiyah gently placed Kurokawa's hand down on the bed and looked up at Onigumo. "Well favor us both," Onigumo raised an eyebrow. "Help me, help you,"

"What is the favor, Jadiyah?" Jadiyah's expression darkened.

"Naraku loves Sesshomaru, doesn't he?" Jadiyah asked. Onigumo frowned.

"Yes, he does," Onigumo crossed his arms. "But from what I've heard since I got here, the man is missing,"

"Oh…but I know who has him," Jadiyah grumbled. "And I know exactly where to find out where he is,"

"Oh?" Onigumo tilted his head slightly. "Do tell – who is this person?"

"It's-"

"Takemaru?" Sesshomaru breathed. The man, Takemaru, frowned slightly. He wasn't all too pleased with Sesshomaru pulling away from him, but had sort of a happy glint in his eyes from the shorter calling him by his name.

"Of course, love," Takemaru took a step closer but Sesshomaru took a step back.

"Stay away from me," hysterics began to creep into Sesshomaru's voice. Takemaru frowned.

"What's wrong, love?"

"Don't call me that, you rat bastard," Sesshomaru hissed.

"Takemaru?" Onigumo asked. He was hoping the other male would start talking again. Once he had uttered the name, he went silent as they left the hospital. They were now in the back of Onigumo's limo. "That name sounds familiar…."

"He is from the Setsuna family. He is Yoshi's brother – you know, Sō'unga's Chief Marketing Officer – Setsuna Yoshi." Jade shrugged.

"Jade…" Onigumo frowned. He had never seen the other man so crestfallen before. A Jade that didn't threaten bodily harm every few minutes was not a Jade he was accustomed to, nor did he believe he would ever be accustomed to. "Hm…but-"

"You've heard about him in the news," Jadiyah looked out the window. "Do you recall Sesshomaru's being disowned?" Jadiyah looked at Onigumo.

"I've heard rumor of it, yes," Onigumo nodded. Jadiyah looked back out the window.

"Takemaru had something to do with it and so did that idiotic brother of Sesshomaru's,"

"Wait, how do you even know?" Onigumo frowned.

"Sō'unga had close ties with Goshinki before he fucked himself over," Jade shrugged. "That and well…." Jadiyah frowned. He turned to look at Onigumo. They stared at each other for a while. "Goshinki is my father,"

"What?" Onigumo's eyes widened. He was not expecting that confession.

"But he hates me," Jade stares out the window. "My mother wasn't exactly a willing participant in the conception of me but she still had me," Jade looked back at Onigumo. "My birth brought Goshinki out of the shadows," Jade shrugged. "It placed him in the eyes of the general public and he hates me for it,"

"Really?" Onigumo's frowned.

"Of course, his name wasn't always Goshinki. He changed it," Jadiyah shrugged. "And my mother named me after him, of course, Tuerrie. And he killed her,"

"That is why you do not like when people refer to you as that name…." Onigumo frowned. It all made sense to him now. The reason why the man would threaten people they said the name – sometimes carrying out said threats right then and there.

"Takemaru was arranged to marry Izayoi," Jade suddenly spoke, changing the subject. Onigumo raised an eyebrow. "When it was announced that she would, instead, marry Toga, Takemaru had eyes for Toga's sister – Kimi. He didn't know Kimi was already involved with Goshinki. Goshinki didn't take too kindly to that so he ordered his men to send him a message. It was in the form of a beating, of course.

"Takemaru took that as Toga not wanting him to see his sister. This spiraled out of control from there because Setsuna made it his mission to make Toga's life hell. Takemaru stalked Kimi – he was obsessed with the woman. It ended in him raping her. Goshinki was furious and intended to kill Takemaru by torching his house with him in it. The man managed to survive but with serious burns to half his body.

"Couple of years after that incident, he appeared again. This time his eyes were on Sesshomaru. I've not gathered his thoughts on Sesshomaru. He believed that was his son, even threated Toga a lot after Kimi's death. He stalked Sesshomaru. I think it was when Sesshomaru was about 13, he raped him. He started spouting something about Sesshomaru being the incarnation of his lover Kimi.

"From what I heard, he had been in a psyche hospital up until 10 years ago. His brother had him released. Since his release, it is obvious he found a way to find Sesshomaru again." Jadiyah sighed. "This is a mess…"

"Wait….how does Inuyasha fit into all of that?"

"I'm pretty sure it was Inuyasha who gave the information about Sesshomaru to Takemaru."

"How did that lead to Sesshomaru being disowned?" Onigumo frowned in confusion. None of this made any type of sense. Jadiyah sighed.

"God you're simple…Sesshomaru was only disowned to protect him. To keep him out of the public's eye was to keep him out of Takemaru's eyes."

"I don't get how that has anything to do with Inuyasha," Onigumo frowned. Really, how did Inuyasha play a role in that?

"I theorized that Inuyasha sold the information to Takemaru around the same time Kai and Sesshomaru became acquainted." Jade shrugged.

"That…still doesn't explain anything…" Onigumo sighed. He should have known he wouldn't get a straight answer from Jade. Even when depressed, the man could be an annoying ass when it came to word play. "I meant to ask you something," Onigumo crossed his arms. "What exactly is Sō'unga to you? I mean besides a business partner."

"Was."

"What?" Onigumo frowned.

"He was a friend that took me in," Onigumo frowned when Jade said no more. He took the hint to not ask anything farther on the matter.

"And Kurokawa?"

"My partner." Jade looked at Onigumo with a frown. The man opened his mouth to ask more but Jade glared at him. "No." The rest of the car ride was driven in silence.

"Don't be that way, love," Takemaru said with a frown. He made a grab for Sesshomaru but the shorter pulled away and back up farther. Takemaru attempted again and got the same results. This was done until Sesshomaru was backed into the corner between the bedroom and the bathroom. Sesshomaru's eyes were glazed with an urgent panic as Takemaru placed a hand on either side of Sesshomaru's head. When he leaned in for another kiss, Sesshomaru ducked under his arm to enter the room but Takemaru snatched him back by his arm. "Kimi-"

"I'm not Kimi! Let go of me, you bastard!" Sesshomaru wretched his arm free and fled into the bathroom before slamming it shut and locking it. Sesshomaru sat as far away from the door as he possibly could. He wrapped his arms around his legs, sitting against the wall. He stared hard at the door as the other male on the other side of the door knocked and apologized. He didn't once say his name. He, instead, kept calling him Kimi.

Taisho Inc.

"Any news?" Inuyasha looked up as a steaming cup of coffee was placed in front of him. He was met with a frowning Miroku. Inuyasha sighed, picked up the cup, and shook his head.

"I even offered rewards for any information. So far everything has been a dead-end…."

"It has been only 3 days, Inuaysha, do not fear. I am sure information will come soon."

"But how soon is soon?" Inuyasha banged his hand on the table, glaring at Miroku. "How do we know soon won't be too late? That he'll already be dead?" Inuyasha placed both hands on his forehead and baled them into fists. "This is destroying me…this is all my fault,"

"Inuyasha…." Miroku frowned. "Kurokawa," Miroku started slowly, making Inuyasha look at him. "He never got back to us about him visiting Rin. I don't think he ever did. Maybe we should visit Rin – I'm sure she probably saw the person who did it!" Inuyasha pulled his hands away from his face with a frown.

"Yeah – It's a start." Inuyasha stood along with Miroku and they both made their way out of the Employee lounge.

This chapter, I sat down with Isaac Shepard's Thoughtful to put me in the mood. If you have time, you should really give it a listen. And we're almost at the end. I think it's like 5-6 more or less chapters left.
