"Psst. Sesshomaru." Kagome whispered as he watched her brother eat across from her. "Sesshomaru." He still didn't look at her, he propped his elbow on the table and leaned his chin against the palm of his hand. He surely didn't care what his sister had to say, as long as he ignore it, he thought that she would just give up and shut up.

"Fuck you Sesshomaru." She kicked his shin from under the table, a glare rising up from the table and onto her. He cringed but she ignored it. "Do you think Bankotsu's…you know, okay?"

"You stupid. You kick me again and I'll kick you back you understand?" His eyes went back to his bacon and eggs.

"No I don't understand."

Boom!

The table rattled as Kagome kicked her brother again, glaring at the bastard intently. How can listening and replying be so hard? She felt so annoyed by this trait Sesshomaru had, short attention span she would call it. Even if she had a side of her that loved him so deeply, she still was a little skeptical of this so called love. But no matter how agitated she got, Kagome took a deep breath and loosened her muscles.

"Just answer me okay?… Ow you bastard!" There was a feud under the table as they both kicked each other in the shin. Childish as it was, it did brang them back to the old days.

"You dumb chick."

"You loner!"

"You ditzy idiot."

"You egotistical, juvenile, irresponsible, think-you-all-that, muscle head idiot."

Sesshomaru didn't retort, he stopped kicking her and got up. With his eyes narrowed toward his sister he put his bowl in the sink. "You shouldn't say those words, I was worried."

She raised a brow. "Worried about what?"

"Worried that you would choke on one of those words and keel over." Kagome thought he smiled but maybe it was her imagination. She watched him as he ascended the staircase. The little notion of him smiling was beyond believable, he never smiled… he would smirk but not smile as if he poured out a sense of happiness. She didn't even know if her brother knew the meaning of happiness.

She laid upper half of her body on the table, not wanting to go to school by herself; she waited for Sesshomaru to get his bag. As soon as she heard the patter of footsteps climbing down the stair, Kagome stood up and slung her bag over her shoulder.

" We're going to be late if you don't-" Seeing Bankotsu appear on the landing of the stairs, she held her breath. The slight fear was creeping down her neck. Now that the possibility of her own brother being a murderer carved into her mind so deeply, she couldn't look at that smile anymore. She was actually afraid but she perked up, giving him a bright smile.

"Good morning brother."

"Morning. So you're going to school?"

"Of course. Remember what dad says. If I skip again I won't be able to get out of the house anymore."

Bankotsu took a seat positioned near her and pulled her into a seat. "Is something wrong?"

The mere questioned made an immediate frown appear on her face. Did he know? Was he going to just kill her for knowing he was a murderer? Kagome couldn't explain what this feeling was; she just couldn't stand his hand being placed on her shoulder. It made her shudder. The hands that once protected her as a child now sent chills down her spine, making her wince.

"N-Nothings wrong. I'm okay I just don't want to be late for school that's all."

The moment he let her shoulder go, a sigh of relief unnoticeable escaped her. "I see. I'm just worried about you. Don't get into trouble today." Kissing her on the cheek he stood up and headed toward the living room, intentionally bumping into Sesshomaru as he entered the kitchen and gave him a malicious smirk.

"Hurry up Sesshomaru. We'll be late."

"Stop pestering me. I didn't ask you to wait did I?"

Kagome turned on her heels and headed out the door. "Just hurry the fuck up before I yank you out of the house."

"Lets see you try." Sesshomaru dared.

Kagome glared her hazel eyes toward the idiot but whipped her head away from him and ignored his reply. They were always the ones to feud over the silliest things while Bankotsu and herself got along great. Inuyasha wasn't ever around to really talk to so he was a mystery all its own.

Kagome had 3 magnificent brothers who had no similarities at all. While the other one was cold and angry, her other brother would be nice and caring. While one would be distant and bossy, the rest would be pushy and anxious. She had no problem in handling those three, she would always be a mother figure to them even with her bossy exterior she still cared for them more than anything.

"So what did you two talk about?"

"Excuse me?" Kagome asked monotonously.

"What did Bankotsu tell you?" Sesshomaru asked again, getting a bit annoyed.

"Why would you care?"

"Why do you always have to back sass me?"

"I'm not giving you sass. I'm just being just like you and decided to not reply to your question. How does it feel now Sesshomaru-chan." She giggled and picked up her pace, trying to ignore the growls that her brother elicited quite loudly. Angry, annoyed, irritated, she really didn't care because in the end she was always going to win these little wars that Sesshomaru always started.

"You're such a brat sometimes I swear."

The feeling was spine tingling and unexpected as the route they were going in was quickly changed. With Sesshomaru's strong hand entwined with hers, She was pulled across the street and down a different path other than the one they were supposed to take.

"Hey! Dad said we have to go to school."

"Shut up. You want to play your games than I'll play as well." Even with her struggles, she couldn't get her hand out of his grasp. She pulled and tugged but he refused to let her go. Even with the overwhelming feeling of his hand wrapping around her own caused her heart to leap a mile high, she still was skeptical on to where she was being taken to.

"I'm going to kill you if you don't-"

"If you don't tell me now we're going to visit Kagura." The dreadful name rammed her heart and squished it flat against her chest. She paled as her legs grew incredible numb with fright.

"You wouldn't!"

Sesshomaru accentuated an evil smirk as he looked over his shoulder. "I would put up with her antics just to get what I want now tell me what you two were talking about?"

It wasn't like they had a secretive conversation that contained personal stuff but the game. She had to win this game of wit. There was nothing that she would back down from and that included their immature games. 'I'll never lose from you again Sesshomaru' is what she said from the heart and she violently shook her head.

"No way! You ignored me so I'll ignore you."

Even with school starting in 2 minutes, he proceeded down the street until they stopped at a red painted house. They walked along the cobblestone pathway, while Kagome profusely tried to run away from the dreadful house.

"Come on, don't do this! I'll tell dad that you let me skip school."

"I don't care…. Now you still have a chance to tell me."

"I'll never tell you! No way!"

Sesshomaru disappointedly shook his head and pressed the doorbell, the frightful sound echoing through the house and into Kagome's ears. Her hazel eyes widened and with brute strength she thrashed, almost prying her hand out of his grasp but the door opened. A creak of pure horror pending from the door that slowly opened revealing a twisted smile.

"Hey Aunty. How are you?" Sesshomaru peered over his shoulder as he said this, pleased at the expression his sister showed. He was aware of the annoyance he was getting himself into but this was better than his infuriating sister who would just brag on and on about her being the dominate sibling of control.

"Oh I haven't seen you two for a long time. So have you done the deed yet my dears?" Her 24-year-old aunty winked at the two and gave them both a big hug before letting them in her Victorian style home. With its beautiful paintings and many sculptures along side the wall, it was a house that you would love to always visit but not Kagome. It wasn't the fact that she hated the house or the perplexed works of art but it was her aunt that she despised, she just had no shame at all and that annoyed Kagome.

"So what brings you here? I've been waiting for you two to come hand in hand."

"We are not holding hands." Kagome pried her fingernails in Sesshomaru's arm but he still didn't let go, he just winced at the slight pain.

"Oh really. You were always the one to doubt this beautiful relationship. So do you two need love advice?"

Kagome glared. "We are not in love. We're siblings damn it!"

"Hold on now. Remember that little kiss you two shared under-"

"Oh my gosh! Don't even bring the past up aunty! Shut up already!" Her cheeks were as red as an apple. Every time her mind would be flooded with mixed emotions. There she was shouting 'I hate Sesshomaru with every fiber of my being.' Than in her head she would be squealing 'His loving fingers grasped around my hand feels absolutely arousing! I love you Sesshomaru!' That's why she hated her aunty; she knew love to well and she hated how Kagura would just spit out anything that would come to mind. She was just like Sango but served in bigger portions.

"If you two are to embarrassed to buy condoms I can buy them for you." Kagura gave both of them an angelic smile as if anything she said was the right thing to just say out loud.

With Kagome's jaw dropped and her mind in a complete mess. Sesshomaru sat Kagome down on the couch while he beamed a smile at his aunt. To bad Kagome was to dramatize by Kagura's suggestion or she would have completely fainted at the sight of the most gracious smile that Sesshomaru held.

"No aunty. We don't need anything like that. We just came for a visit."

"Is that so? Well do you two need an extra room so your parents don't find out or something?"

"No. So do you have anything to drink in this house?"

"Oh of course. I'll boil up some tea." As Kagura left to go to the kitchen, Sesshomaru's smile quickly faded as he glared at his sister who still had a dazed look in her eyes.

"So are you going to tell me or are we going to stay here."

"If I tell you, it doesn't mean you win you hear me."

"I hear you loud and clear. But you'll still be a loser like you always were. So tell me and stop being so stubborn." That smug of a smile got to her as her brows furrowed and she stood up, glancing at her aunt who came in with a tray of cups and a teakettle.

That's when a ping of an idea came to mind and Kagome glanced at her brother before jovially walking up to her aunt who set the tray down. She grabbed Kagura's hands and smiled while altering that smile into a smug of a smirk as she turn toward her brother once again.

"Oh aunty. You always said you wanted us together ever since we were children. I'm so happy that you always supported us on this relationship." Even though the things that came from her mouth was slightly true in a way, she showed no sense of worry as she fell back onto the couch right beside her brother. The glare that clearly emitted off of those gorgeous golden eyes didn't bother her at all. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, cuddling her brother like a teddy bear.

"So why don't you show me how much you love me big bro. Kiss me." Set aback by the unforeseen response, he knew the tables were turn. But he played it cool, staring into her eyes and moving closer to her. The game they both played was elevating to the point where neither of them could back down now. With there aunt staring at them blissfully, Kagome slightly moved her head back, giving Sesshomaru a chance to stop and acclaim he lost but he refused. Those lips were getting closer, her cheeks were apple-red, and her mind was clouded with happiness as well as embarrassment.

"Y-You can stop." She whispered, her eyes darting at her aunt who sat patiently.

"Tell me what you were talking about."

Damn it. Damn it! She couldn't move any further; if she did Kagura would notice the tension that was building in the air. Even if those lips were as tempting as hell, she pushed him away and headed out the door, cursing under her breath.

"What's wrong?" Kagura asked incredulously.

"Nothing aunty. Well we better go and please don't tell my parent about this little meeting." With a confirmative nod, Sesshomaru hurriedly gathered their bags that laid beside the couch and went after his sister. It wasn't long before he caught up with her, catching every word of hatred from her lips.

"I hate you." She said sharply, her eyes sending signals of utter detestation toward him. I love him, I can't stand it when I'm not near him and yet I'm telling him this stuff. I can't say I love you. I'm pathetic. After walking aimlessly for about a minute, Sesshomaru lent out her bag and she took it. There eyes didn't meet for a while now but as always Sesshomaru wasn't bothered by the action. He strolled along side her, giving her no hint that he actually was worried about her.

"Why don't you hit me?"

Kagome sighed. "Shut up. I don't want to talk to you right now. Just leave me alone."

"I can't do that."

"Why not. You don't care about me. You just said, once you get to college you'll never even dare to come back." The way she pouted, the way her eyes seem to glimmer in the sunlight and the way her voice suddenly became so gentle. For a moment he was fixated to this side of her, staring at her as if she was the only person that meant something to him. Kagome didn't fail to notice, she immediately turned away and sighed heavily.

"You're an ass. You stare at me and you don't even say anything. Stupid. Like I said before. I hate you so just leave me alone."

"You want to be alone?"

Kagome whipped around to face him again and with determined eyes she nodded. "Yes. Now go. I don't want you near me already."

Sesshomaru wasn't the type to listen to such vulgar commands but he turned and walked away. He compiled and walked along the sidewalk just like that. Not even bothering to look back, Kagome stubbornly walked away as well. That act he pulled with her aunt was embarrassing, he knew how much she hated her but he still proceeded. But it was her fault as well; because of her stubbornness she caused her brother to walk away from her.

"Why did you have to listen you idiot?" Kagome muttered. "Why don't you come back to me?"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Walking along the pathway of her home and opening the door, she found her older brother, Bankotsu sitting at the kitchen table, sulking. Though as his jet-black eyes caught sight of Kagome, his mood instantly brightened and he stood up and hugged her tightly.

"B-Brother. Wh-What's wrong?" The vice grip was breath taking. Bankotsu was hugging her as if he was going to be gone forever but as he let go, she let out a big breath, inhaling and exhaling deeply.

"K-Kagome. Waz up."

"Bankotsu?" His slurred speech and his constant swaying as he stood were inconceivable. But as her eyes laid upon the bottle of liquor on the table, her misleading eyes lit up with anger.

"What the hell Bankotsu. I don't care if you're older than me. You know you can't drink this stuff." Kagome tried to gather up the liquor bottles but the body that laid heavily from behind forced her to take a seat, Bankotsu's sluggish body falling from her shoulders on to her lap. His head comfortably laid on her lap, his hands folded like a pillow as he slumbered.

For some reason, Bankotsu began to mumble words. "I'm sorry." He said, his lashes fluttering but remained closed. There were tears coming from his eyes but she didn't recall what was going on in that head of his. Sadness, remorse, pain, those expression showed upon his face and the only thing that she thought was Hojo's death. Maybe he was feeling guilty or maybe she was just leading into something that was just totally wrong.

"I didn't want to kill rela-tion-ship. I'm sorry." His words confused her; his mumbles were now to the point of misunderstanding. There was no point in crying but she did, her eyes just swept with tears, her trembling fingers brushing through his hair.

"Wake up Bankotsu." His eyes fluttered and opened, searching into her hazel eyes. His intense gaze fumbled her words causing her to stay quiet. She was speechless at the sight of his piercing eyes, not daring to look away.

"I'm sorry." He cried. Though his tears were felt on her cheek, his lips placed firmly on hers. The fearsome biting of her lower lip, the smell of alcohol stinging her nose and his tongue that elaborately explored every inch of her mouth made her eyes gather tears. Why is he doing this? Her eyes shut tightly, the slight pain of his hand gripping her hair made utter confusion sweeping through her.

When he finally pulled away and a flush of anger coursing through her veins emitting off of her eyes instantly caught his attention. But she couldn't stay mad, those jet-black eyes that were filled with tears pained her and with a final breathe. He wiped his tears away.

"I'm sorry." At that moment he collapsed in her arms and fell into unconsciousness.
