Wooohooo. I got the chapter out. yay me lol

"Kagome! Kagome!"

Deep in thought, Kagome's chin that laid heavily on the palm of her hand was quickly hit away and she was forced to look at all the men at the table. Shippo ate happily in his pajamas while Hiten, Sesshomaru and Bankotsu watched her awkwardly as she stood up and slung her bag over her shoulder.

"Got to go." She monotonously said.

"Just wait a minute. I'll go with-"

"No you won't." Hiten said. Rudely interrupting Sesshomaru from saying another word. "Isn't Kagome capable of walking by herself? Do you always have to follow her all the time? You're like a stalker or something."

"What I do is none of your business you damn bastard."

"Oh right. So you always have to follow her. It's like you two are a couple or something. Isn't that weird?" Hiten gave Kagome a small smirk. Mischievous as his intensions were, Sesshomaru was a fool to be caught in his little web of trickery.

They argued as always and Kagome was able to sneak out of the house without Sesshomaru even noticing.

"Idiot." Displeasing with the outcome of the morning, she had no intension in walking to school. Skipping was on her mind and also brought a smile to her face.

It was dreadful now a days to go through life. She really thought in the beginning that being with Sesshomaru and having his lips upon her own every single time they were alone would bring a sense of joy--waking up to a new day. But it was the opposite, with his constant anger clinging on to him and his weird disappearance here and there was just getting her into this state of malignant worries.

He was always disappearing after dinner, going off somewhere. A mystery is all he was and everything from her childhood from now was mind boggling. Sesshomaru was changing slowly and Kagome tried to figure out what it was he was doing each and every night but as always she just ignored it. Huddling up into a ball and hiding like the child she was.

"Sesshomaru. You dummy." She streamed her fingers through her hair, looking up at the mall and entering moments later.

I hate shopping. She mused. There was no need in going to this mall but there was no where to go. It was either this or the park. Tranquility wasn't something she was looking for right now and the crowds of people were the escape of thinking about everything that had happened recently.

"Good morning! Today's the national foundation of the world renowned and traditional bid contest. Now with the people all here participating just remember the money you bid will go to a local hospital all over Japan. So bid high and have fun! Now let's begin!" The announcer on the stage was surrounded by a large lining of white ribbons that formed a square in front of the stage.

About 100 people stood inside of the square, staring up at the announcer. Kagome paid no mind to it, though she darted her eyes to that crowd and the other crowd of boys that stood in the middle of the only pathway that lead to the many stores of the mall. She knew if she walked there, she might either get into unwanted trouble.

"Don't want that incident again." She ducked under the white satin ribbon and walked through the sea of people. The announcer holding the microphone kept of talking but she moved on until everything went dim. Startled by the change of scenery, Kagome stopped for moment until her heart completely stopped once that spotlight hit her.

"What the..." Every eye was on her. There was no way nor any reason this spotlight would be right on her but she moved on. The more she tried to escape the light, the more it just followed and than two men grabbed her arms, helping her toward the stage.

"Hey what the hell are you doing?!"

One of the men gave her an assuring smile. "You've been chosen. You should be happy Ms."

Literally pushed up the steps, the young announcer no older than 19 had grabbed her hand and yanked her in front of the crowd.

"Hey! What's going-"

"This young lady is smart and very young, though dressed in a school uniform she is older than you think she is. Near 18 she's a Doppler-ganger of joy and great looks don't you think? So let's start with her name."

With the mic pointed toward her, she hesitated. "What's your name?" The man said, smiling nervously at the agitated crowd.

"W-What?" Those simple words echoed throughout the mall, bringing more attention toward her. The announcer could feel an awkward atmosphere coming from the girl. He pulled the microphone back toward himself and smiled.

"Well...She's a bit shy folks so let's give her a hand!"

An applaud was followed and than the mic once again. "So you're name Ms."

Everyone was waiting, she had no clue what the hell was going on but she followed through with it. "Kagome."

"Kagome, so who will have a date with this beautiful young lady? Let's start the bid shall we!"

Bid? Kagome stood there quietly, trying to search for some answers to all of this. Posters and even flyers were all over the mall. 'The 'annual donation-date' was all it read. She wanted to hit herself off of the stage but bid after bid was already being yelled. 100 to 300 dollars and rising. She knew she was in deep trouble.

"Okay it's 500 dollars, do I hear 550?"

It was always held once a year. The money went to great causes and it was all her fault for being so absent minded as to step into the square. To put it short, people from wealthy families have there sons or daughters participate in this type of event. Bidding on anyone who is picked from the silky satin square. If you win than you get a date with the woman or man that they bided on for only 3 days.

If she backed down now she would defiantly be fined for up to 300 dollars because she wasn't even registered to be apart of this bidding. So she stayed quiet and smiled at the crowd who continued to bid on her.

"So 800 dollars. This is a high one folks so is that-"

"900." People gasped at the high rate. Usual these bids would stop at the 800 point, even Kagome herself was caught off guard. It wasn't because of the price but because under the spot light was Sesshomaru.

"How confidant. Do I hear-"

"1000 dollars." Sesshomaru had shrouded with darkness and now under the light was no other than...

"Hiten? What are they doing here?" Kagome mumbled. A thousand dollars was beyond what Kagome expected for someone to say. How would they get the money to pay? That was the main concern at this point.

"1,100" Sesshomaru shouted.

"1,400" Hiten smirked confidently as if he was saying he would go as high as needed, as long as he won.

"1,500"

"2,000 dollars." The crowded stared at the two for a moment as silence draped the once lively mall. They were all rich and you wouldn't expect for such a reaction but it was a surprise for such high bids to be place just for a 3 day date.

"Now the young gentleman with the pitch black hair has bid 2,000 dollars folks. Now does anyone wish to go higher." No one was going to answer and everyone was just staring at Sesshomaru, waiting for him to shout out a number. Was he going to give up? Kagome wasn't sure but as his eyes locked with her own, she could have sworn that she had seen a smirk appear on her brother's face.

"3,000 dollars!"

"Where is he going to get the money?" Kagome mumbled once again.

"Woo-hooo. That's the highest bid I've ever encountered. Now I think that this bet is done. So Kagome..." The announcer looked toward her. "You will be sol-"

"4,500!"

"What the-" The young man on the stage almost dropped the mic at such a number being said and he didn't hesitate to say..

"Sold to the young man in the blue. Come claim you're date!" Everyone applauded at such a happy outcome. Though, Kagome's jaw dropped and she wanted to fall off the stage if it weren't for Hiten who lifted her off of her feet, handing the man the check and exiting off the stage.

"What are you doing?" Kagome frantically asked.

"Claiming my prize." His lips drew closer to her own. This was impossible, how can this be such a coincidence that he could be there and have such a high amount of money with him. Her heart raced once she was gently placed on the floor, his arms tightly wrapping around her.

"You're mine for 3 whole days by law." The heat that withdrew from his body was felt. There wasn't even a millimeter of space between their bodies.

"Let me go."

"I will not." Securely fastening an arm around her slender waist, he gently brushed his fingertips upon her lips. Embedding the confidence as to imply a kiss from her lips very soon. There he came close, those strong arms pulling her near him. Gentle as his touch was, the slight movement of his hand grazing the back of her neck gave her chills.

She closed her eyes out of displeasure and took a deep breath as her head arched toward his lips.

"Damn you!" Shoved away and finally grasped in someone else's arms, Kagome laid her hands amongst the warmth of a chest. Hiten stumbled backwards, almost bumping into a security guard that watched the crowd of people shopping and lingering around the mall.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Why didn't you go to school? I told you if you just go straight to school you wouldn't get into trouble didn't I?"

"I-I'm sorry." Kagome said.

His face grew soft with compassion as he held her tightly, resting his chin upon her head. "Every time I leave you alone you go off somewhere. I'm always scared that I'm going to-"

"As sweet as this all maybe. I would wish for my date back into my arms." Hiten lent out a hand. Did he really thought that Kagome would push Sesshomaru away? Just thinking that made Kagome roll her eyes. She rather have her real man beside her than some blackmailing scum of a cousin.

"Get your ass back home Hiten. We have to head to school." Sesshomaru attempted to escort his sister away from the crowd but a security guard stood in his way.

"I'm sorry sir. I can't allow you to leave with that woman unless this gentleman gave you full consent as to leaving with the woman in your hands." He pointed toward Hiten. It was crazy, she had her rights to leave when she wanted to but once Hiten brought out a piece of paper confirming of his hold on her, the whole rights of leaving was already taken away. That confident smile of his face made her sick to her stomach and made Sesshomaru's brows furrow.

"This is bullshit. I'm not-"

"This woman had signed for this. She was in the square which fully informed everyone that she or another would be randomly picked for a bidding. So for that she is obligated to this date sir. So please step aside."

The man wouldn't dare step aside and Sesshomaru had that expression that he wouldn't give in as well. Kagome knew to well that he would fight his way past these guards to have his way. Knowing such a thing gave her a sense to let go of Sesshomaru's hand and step back.

"Kagome?"

"Sesshomaru it's okay. Hiten will walk me to school. Just follow the rules." Sesshomaru always preferred staying in doors than out, so this type of contest wasn't to familiar to him, which explained the shocked look on his face. As Hiten approached Kagome and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, they walked away, leaving Sesshomaru by himself.

"Four-thousand, five-hundred dollars well spent don't you think?"

"Stop smiling at me or I'll kill you." Kagome crossed her arms, making sure to avert her eyes away from the bastard. They walked along the streets, heading toward the path that lead to the school.

"Kill me? Are you going to follow Sesshomaru's footsteps Kagome?"

At that moment she stopped completely. Her eyes widened, the mere thought of the past brushing in her head brought chills to every inch of her body and even right to the bone. His breath was felt upon her ear as if pleased with the reaction that emitted off of her so clearly.

"It's a shame and to think, it was all your fault."

"N-No it's-"

"Stop denying it." Arms around her waist tightly, she had no choice but to stand there even though she wanted so much to run away. Giving in was the choice that always stuck in her mind but now it was to much. Blood was the only thing that seemed to cover her hands and hearing these dreadful words was unbearable.

"Shut up!"

"Why should I? Look at you. Sin is written all over your face and yet you keep on denying such things. You and your brother are nothing but trouble which gives me so much pleasure seeing you-"

"Stop it Hiten." A hand curled tightly around Hiten's shoulder had pushed him away from Kagome who cried profusely.

Her fingers clung onto Inuyasha with her face buried upon his chest. Cold as his expression was, he streamed his fingers through her hair, attempting to sooth her a bit.

"Bringing up the past will do you no good Hiten. So why are you here exactly?" Strangely calm, Kagome looked toward her brother with glimmering eyes of confusion.

"Damn. Interruption after interruption, you brothers are quite annoying. Well Inuyasha I have no intention of ruining Kagome's life but as for your older brother, now that's a different story."

"I don't give a damn what you do to Sesshomaru. You can kill him for all I care but when I see my little sister cry than that's when I can't stand around and watch. Come on Kagome."

"Don't walk away from me Inuyasha. I paid 4,500 dollars for her so you can't expect me to waste money like that?"

"Like I give a damn." Inuyasha led Kagome away from Hiten who held a passive expression. When it came to Inuyasha, Hiten knew he couldn't do anything about it. He wasn't the fighting type but other than that, his mind did live up to that default. It was just a matter of time until he found something to bring Inuyasha down.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Thank you." Kagome said. Watching Inuyasha cautiously from across the table.

"No problem." His eyes were narrowed, making sure he didn't make any eye-contact with his sister. It was to late to go to school so they had decided to just go home.

So there they were, sitting in the kitchen with no one else in the house. There was silence for a moment. Than Kagome set the cup of water on the table, a light clatter ringing in her ear.

"So what was the money that Hiten was talking about for?" Inuyasha said.

"That donation bid thing that they hold every year."

"You know, if he calls the head advisors of that contest, you can get in trouble."

"I know." She leaned back in her chair, rocking back and fourth. Kagome had ignored the creaking noise that the chair made every time she would lean on its hind legs.

Solitude was all she could describe the kitchen because all Inuyasha did was stare out the window. He resembled Sesshomaru so much and she always wondered why Bankotsu and herself would look the same while Sesshomaru and Inuyasha would be actually be considered as twins. Though with her mother and father's pitch black hair. The only question that came in mind was 'Why do we look so different?'.

"Surprise!" Startled at the explosive yell that echoed throughout the house, Kagome kicked herself off balance.

It was like time froze over for a second but she was to focus on the upcoming pain to keep her eyes open. 'Kagome' That was the last thing she heard until she finally hit something. The floor...no, not that but a leg.

Sesshomaru's leg had cushioned the fall. Kagome looked back, leaning on the backrest of the chair but as her weight laid more upon the backrest, the more pain it caused Sesshomaru.

Kagome can be such a clumsy person after all.

"S-Sorry. So Sorry Sesshomaru. Are you okay?" Getting off like rapid fire, she propped the chair up and laid her hand on his leg, checking for any injuries. His jeans were in the way of searching for any bruising but she remained looking, touching various parts of his leg to his thigh.

"Very thorough search don't you think?"

Kagome's eyes widen. "K-K-Kagura? Wh-what are you doing here?"

Her eyes didn't meet with Kagome's but onto her hands. Kagome looked down at the position of her fingertips that laid comfortable on his thigh, as if she had no problem exploring Sesshomaru's body. She screamed, whipping her hand away from him and holding it tightly against her chest.

"Why do you have a suitcase with you?" She asked, a slight blush emitting off of her cheeks.

"Observing. you're parents called me and they said they'll be coming back in a few weeks."

"S-So what? It doesn't explain why you're here."

"Well... You're mother asked me if I could watch you guys until they come back. Just to make sure you all are alright."

Bankotsu walked up to them, squatting down beside Sesshomaru with a smile. "Why is everyone on there knees? Are you guys sharing a secret?" Bankotsu whispered.

"O f course not."

All of a sudden a slam of a door had opened once again. Shoes went flying and it wasn't very long until a body flung itself toward Kagome.

"Kagy-chan!" Kagome found herself on her back, caused by the impact of the child that now laid on top of her. "I thought you were going to be at school allllll dayyyyy! Did you bring me any candy?"

"That's right. I picked up Sesshomaru off of the streets and I know he ditches a lot..." Sesshomaru glared at his older brother. "But it doesn't explain you and Inuyasha."

What was she going to say? Telling the truth seemed like the best bet but maybe cutting a few things off to, such as that little wager Hiten had placed on her. "Ummm. Well I just didn't want to go to school. But I'll go tomorrow I promise."

Bankotsu shrugged. "Fine fine. Just don't tell dad about this."

There they were. A big happy family but somewhat weird all the same. Kagura had that devious smile again and Kagome wanted to hide in the shadows but it was broad daylight. Making it even harder for her to escape what ever was going to come out of her aunt's mouth.

"To bad it was Kagome and Inuyasha alone in the kitchen. I mean if it was Sesshomaru than I would have suspected-"

"Aunty. Do you want me to bring your bags in your room" Sesshomaru offered with a captive smile on his face.

Caught off guard, Kagura looked toward Sesshomaru as she shoved her luggage toward him. "Here.. here take it. Now what was I saying?"

"You were saying something about watching you're drama movies on TV." Keeping her aunt off track was the best thing to do.

As Kagome cradled Shippo in her arms and stood up, she walked up stairs. The stares that came from Inuyasha was ominous and bothering. That simple stare as Kagura was about to finish her sentence insinuated that he knew something. Suspicious maybe but Kagome didn't want to stay there to find out.

"Kagome. Do you love Sesshomaru-sama?"

Her eyes widened as the child in her arms waited for her to respond. "W-What do you mean?"

"Sesshomaru-Sama says that he loves you so Shippo wants to know if Kagy-chan loves him back?" Shippo waited but Kagome said nothing. There wasn't a chance that Sesshomaru would open up to a child none the less Shippo who only annoys him. "Kagy-chan. Why are you not speaking?"

"Shippo..." Opening the door to her room, she sat on the bed, setting Shippo on his feet. "Did your brother tell you anything?"

"No...Sesshomaru-Sama told me that. Shippo was very happy when he said that because I think Kagy-chan loves Sesshomaru-sama very much right?"

For a child, Shippo did have those eyes that gave you the urge to just hug him.

Instinctively she wrapped her arms around him, holding him tightly in her arms. Kagome rested her chin on Shippo's shoulder as tears trailed down her cheek. She didn't want him to see her cry so she held him tightly, trying to succumb both remorse and bliss that couldn't stop her tears from falling.

"Kagy-chan are you okay? Shippo's worried."

"I'm okay." She pulled away and wiped her tears away. "Everything's okay so why don't you go to your aunt and see if she needs any help putting away her stuff."

"I don't need help." Kagura leaned up against the doorframe. How long was she there? Kagome didn't even notice her. "Shippo your brother just came home. Go and welcome him."

Nodding, Shippo ran out the door and footsteps were heard down the hall and descended the stares until a big thump was heard which only suggested Hiten had fallen due to Shippo.

Kagura chuckled, entering the room and closing the door. "So the child can get so much out of Sesshomaru but you know nothing about him. Sesshomaru is just a mystery to you huh?"

"What are you talking about Aunty?"

"I heard that you two have become distant. Why is that?"

Kagome sighed. " I don't know why you're asking this. He's my brother. Who cares if were distant? He's just a fool that's trying to get out of school as fast as he can. Oh well... There's no way to get into that mind of his." Saying such a thing made her heart jump a bit but she reframed herself from showing it. Saying things like that always weighed a lot on her own heart.

"I see. So I think you might be needing this." Kagura smoothly but slowly walked toward her, taking a seat beside her and sighing moments later. Than, out of no where she pulled out a human blow up doll with a picture of Sesshomaru on it where the doll's face supposed to be.

While Kagura waved the blowup doll in front of her, Kagome sat there speechless. The corner of her mouth twitching a bit.

"W-W-What the hell! Where did that thing come from!"

"Oh come on. It's one of those sex dolls. Since you and Sesshomaru are fighting you can replace that body of his with this. I know it's not the same but still, it'll give you much plea-"

"Shut up! God aunty you're insane! I don't know where you get these stupid ideas but-"

"Tsk. Tsk. I know in the bottom of your heart that you want this so take it."

Kagome shove the doll away. "No! get that thing away from me." Frustrated by the idiotic antics that her aunty were displaying, Kagome stood up and headed toward the door.

"I got everything you need Kagome. Condoms, little trinkets... you know what I mean." Her evil smirk crossed her face and Kagura followed. "You guys can be all lovey-dovey you know and his lips will easily slip upon your own and his tongue-"

"AAhhhhhh! Shut up!" Kagome entered a room and slammed it. Of course Kagura knocked loudly to get in but Kagome refused, locking the door and leaning her head up against it. "She can be so bothersome." After a while the irritation had gone away leaving her to sigh.

"We have to keep an eye on that woman." Her eyes met upon gold and she smiled.

"I know. I mean she gives me a headache." There was this noticeable distance between them. The awkwardness of it all being in the same room was nerve racking. With the silence and their eyes locked on with each other. Kagome couldn't possible look away or in the matter of fact move toward him.

"So are you just going to stand there?" Sesshomaru tilted his head slightly to the side, a confuse expression on his face.

"Um. I-"

"Come here." His charming smile motioned her to lay next to him. His bare chest was exposed while the bottom half of his body was draped with a blanket. A feeling of embarrassment was felt but she had no reason to blush like she did. But she couldn't help it, as she moved toward him and sat at the edge of the bed, her heart thumped furiously.

"I like that face." He forced her to lie on her back, his arms curling around her fragile body as he snuggled his face up against her neck. Like a child was all she could describe him as. Just the whole tightness of it all and the way he held her resembled Shippo in every way.

"Face?" She whispered.

"You look so nervous and I like that." His tongue grazed her cheek that went redder by the second. "You're all mine you know that right?" Sesshomaru's fingers traced her hips but the only thing that she was focused on was those menacing lips of his. They always left marks behind every time they were placed either on her neck, shoulders or her stomach. Just staring at that smile caused her eyes to daze and her mind to cloud.

"Y-Yes I know."

"Stuttering..." He kissed her lips gentle. "...It shows doubt. Do you love me Kagome?"

"O-Of course I-I do."

He chuckled, licking her lips as she winced at the action. "Why do you stutter so much Kagome? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want leave me alone in this room? I feel so depress when you're not near me." That moment when he pulled away, Kagome felt a sense of discomfort. Her arms wrapped around him and stopped him from escaping.

"Don't..." She was at a lost of words. This was the first time that they had ever been alone in a room together let alone a bed room.

Kagome's mind was drifting off to those words that Sesshomaru had spoken so seriously at the park. 'I won't control myself if I get you in a bed'

Once that sentence ran through her head, she bolted upright and pushed Sesshomaru away. "Wait. I think you're right." She nervously laughed. "I think I should-"

"To late." Sesshomaru had placed her on her back, his legs straddling her hips and an utterly sexy smile on his face. It was breath taking to see but in her position, all she could possible say to herself was 'What the hell' when his lips connected with her own. She wasn't complaining, her arms had already clung to him tightly and as there breath mingled, she departed her lips slightly.

His tongue slipped between her lips and slightly licked the roof of her mouth, taking in every moment. This was all she wanted; for him to be close to her and the chance to have him in her arms. There was no doubt in her mind that she would ever reverse time even with the blackmail that Hiten had on her. As long as Sesshomaru was by her side than there was nothing that could let this moment disappear.

Sesshomaru took off the blanket that wrapped around his waist, quickly connecting there lips before she could say anything. Time was of the essence with a house full of people and there was no doubt that this moment would be interrupted sooner or later.

"S-Sessho-" She was out of breath and his tongue prevented her to say his name. His fingers laced with her own, there was no possible way for her to get out of this but it wasn't like she wanted to escape. Calm and reacting to every touch of his fingertips running along her arm were all that she did. This sensation gave Kagome a jolt of pleasure, showing Sesshomaru her love by kissing him deeply by fighting for dominance.

"I love you." He finally said as there lips were shortly departed but connected once again.

There was a knock coming from the door but the two of them ignored it, kissing and holding each other in there arms tightly. Her moans were hard to hide but Sesshomaru tried to fade out those pleasurable noises with his tongue.

As much as he wanted to hear them, he departed his lips and gently covered her mouth with his hand.

The next target was her neck, he licked it as if cleansing it. His mouth felt her pulse, kissing it before biting her skin gently. Her muffled moans could be heard but not loud enough for the person behind the door to hear.

The knocks still continued and his lips did the same. Sesshomaru attempted to drag his hand onto her unmarred skin and run his fingertips along her stomach although things were getting difficult.

"I know you're in there Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha's annoying voice made Sesshomaru depart his lips from Kagome's neck. He growled but continued to kiss her once he uncovered his hand from her mouth and plunged his tongue between her lips.

"Open the fucking door. Where's Kagome? Is she in there?"

"Sessho-" Kagome tried to whisper but he continued to entwine his tongue with her own. But she was able to push him away slightly. "Sesshomaru. Inuyasha he-"

"It doesn't matter." He whispered. "Don't let him bother us."

When his lips drew close, Sesshomaru was forced to pull back as the yells kept coming from behind the door. "Fuck you Sesshomaru. Let me in! I want to know where Kagome is?!"

Sesshomaru growled. "She's not in here!!!"

"Shut the fuck up. I know she's in there!"

"Stop bothering me before I kill you!"

"Don't start with me! Where's Kagome!?" She felt the arms around her tremble with anger. Sesshomaru got off of her and pulled her off of the bed, leading her across the room.

"Get in the closet. Make sure you don't make a sound okay." Once she hid behind his hung shirts, Sesshomaru had closed the door.

He made his way toward the incisive pounding and forcefully opened the door. There was no doubt that Inuyasha would suspect something if he found Kagome in there, so the closet was the best way for the idiot to stop bothering him. But what if he opens the closet? The only answer to that was not to let him into the room.

"What the hell do you want?" Sesshomaru inquired angrily, his little brother equally upset as well.

Everything about Sesshomaru's appearance led him to think that something was going on. He had no shirt on and his unruly hair gave Inuyasha a mental picture on what might have happened in this room. Kagome was in here. I just know it.

"Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"Don't know. So get out of my face." Attempting to slam the door on his face, Inuyasha wedged his foot between the door and stopped it.

"Fuck you! Let me in and give me a chance to check if she's there."

"Why the fuck do you think she'll be in here?" Sesshomaru was surprised by the strength that his little brother presented but it wasn't amusing.

"If you don't let me in than I'll bring Bankotsu along. You know he'll come in no matter what when I tell him what's been going on around here."

Even if he was his little brother he would kill him if needed but Sesshomaru restrained himself as Inuyasha pushed himself into the room, scanning it carefully. With the messed up bed and beige colored walls it was plain as usual but something about it wasn't right.

Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha by the arm and yanked him toward the door. "Get the fuck out of my room you damn-"

"I know she's here." He got out of his grasp and yanked the closet door open. Boxes and clothing was inside but nobody else. He reached in to make sure that no one was there but his eyes slightly widen as hair was felt between his fingers. Thinking it might be a wig, he pulled on it.

"Ow!" Kagome stepped out from behind the clothes and walked over the boxes that hid her feet.

"K-Kagome?" He knew she was in here but it still was a surprise. There was never a thought that his sister would be with Sesshomaru. "That mark...on your neck." His hand fell to his side. He couldn't lay his eyes off of the mark that only Sesshomaru would inflict on her neck. "A hickey?"

"I-Inuyasha. Please don't-"

"How could you do something like this?" Inuyasha roughly grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her as if it was going to bring him some answers.

"S-Stop it. You're hurting me."

"Why are you with him!? Why are acting this way!? He's you're brother don't you know that?! Don't you-"

"Shut up!" Sesshomaru pushed Inuyasha away from Kagome and looked him straight in the eye. "We wanted to keep it a secret because we knew that you and everyone else would act that way. So what if were siblings. Just fucking leave us alone got it Inuyasha."

When his eyes laid upon Kagome who hid behind Sesshomaru, Inuyasha knew that this so-called relationship was mutual. All this time he thought Sesshomaru was forcing Kagome into something she never wanted to do but he was wrong. Though it still doesn't hide the fact that this was wrong and he wasn't ever going to just step away and let Kagome make the same mistake as Kikyo.

"I'm not leaving this alone." Dealing with this wasn't going to be resolved in one day, so Inuyasha just angrily exited the room, slamming the door once he got out.

Silence draped the room until another slam of a door was heard, causing Kagome and even Sesshomaru to wince. Both of them knew how difficult it was to keep this love a secret. Inuyasha had a grudge and he wouldn't think twice as to make Sesshomaru suffer like he did.

"Don't worry Kagome." Sesshomaru turned toward her, holding her in his arms. "We'll get through this somehow. But no matter what... I'll always love you."

Awwww.. how cute huh? I wish a guy would treat me like that lol. But anyways hoped you enjoyed it and damn was this one long. but oh well. I owe you guys for always not updating. Sorry about that though. Just have things going on with my life and stuff. So sorry I didn't put any angst but enjoy it now because once we get going to chapter 13 and stuff... it's going to get gruesome. lol.
