She closed her eyes, her hands gripping his masculine shoulders, trying as much as she could to stop the sensations he was invoking in her. She knew that what they were doing was wrong. She knew that the things she was feeling were wrong. She had to be with him just because she wanted to save Naraku but deep down she knew that she was lying to herself. She wanted his touch, she yearned for it. She could clearly recall how lonely she felt in France, after she left, away from him.

She felt his hands on her skin, making her blood boil in her veins. She bit her lower lip and looked away while he ravaged her neck. Her body trembled under his. What was she doing? She asked herself for the millionth time. Why did she feel so weak yet so powerful in the same time?

Her hands insistently pushed on his shoulders. He slowly faced her, his golden eyes dark, making her shiver. She gulped, uncertain of her own words.

"I…" She hesitated, a blush spreading on her cheeks. He continued staring at her, his hands never seizing their torture over her body, slowly caressing her hips.

"I don't want Naraku to know." She finally said. He didn't say anything but his hands stopped their movements. A few seconds of silence passed before he spoke.

"He'll eventually know. But I won't tell him if this pleases you."

She smiled and nodded, feeling gratitude bubble inside her chest. She was about to thank him when he crashed his lips to hers, immediately parting and entering her hot cavern. One of his hands grabbed her wrists and forced them above her head while the other one continued to explore her body, mesmerizing every inch. His kiss deepened with intensity while his free hand caused her to trash under him. He smirked before pulling away, leaning his forehead on hers. He looked at her flushed face before speaking.

"I thought I disgusted you."

Her eyes widened for a second. She had never been touched like that by a man and being with him was not making it an easier for her. This had surpassed any dream she had ever had, any fantasy.

"You do disgust me." She found herself saying. His smirk disappeared and she could clearly see the hurt playing inside his golden orbs only to be substituted by rage. Why did she say that? She was not disgusted by him. She liked him, she really completely liked him. His grip on her wrists tightened.

"Too bad that you're stuck with me huh?" He harshly replied. She wanted to tell him that he was wrong. She wanted to explain herself to him but his lips over hers silenced her. Instead of being gentle as he was seconds ago, his lips aggressively parted her own and he explored her mouth, leaving no place untouched. She moaned in the kiss, her body arching into his. She wanted him; she had never wanted anyone as bad as she wanted him right then. His lips suddenly left hers and went to her ear.

"I want you." He whispered as if he was reading her mind. She simply nodded and wrapped her legs around his waist. His eyes roamed her body, followed by his hands, touching everything, everywhere. Again, she closed her eyes and looked away, missing the look of hurt that displayed in his eyes for her silent rejection, followed by a look of pleasure as he entered her with one powerful thrust. She gasped, her eyes opening and meeting his. He didn't let her recover before he thrust again, this time earning a loud moan from the girl underneath him.

"Inuyasha…" She whispered in the darkness. She could not stop the moans that came from her as he made love to her. She felt everything disappear around her, everything except his eyes, staring right into her owns. She whispered his name again and for an instant she swore that she saw a look of love in his eyes before he quickly took her lips with his own, his hands caressing her cheeks. Pleasure took over her whole system and before she knew what happened, she screamed his name and went limp. She felt him move inside her for a few seconds before he silently collapsed on top of her, crushing her under his weight. Slowly, she hugged him by his waist, her hands caressing his bare back. His respiration was still heavy and she knew he was tired. Guilt rang in her ears. It was her fault he was tired. Her fault that he collapsed in his office a few hours ago. She hugged him tighter while he buried his face in her neck.

She always thought that sex was violent, fast, hard and sinful. She also thought that Taisho was the man to degrade a woman's body while fucking her. She didn't expect him to be so gentle, to make love to her. His caresses where light, never degrading. He only kissed her lips, her neck, and her shoulders, never urging her, never using her whole body as she thought he would. He was soft, careful. He didn't go to his manly urges; he didn't impose anything on her. He treated her as if she was something so innocent. Tears came to her eyes. She was not innocent and she just knew that she wasn't a virgin either. What would he think about her now? Just a few hours ago, she told him that she was untouched but now, he will know that she is not a virgin. And the worst part was that she wished to be a virgin. She wished for him to be her first one. Her only one, she wanted to continue, but dismissed the idea.

"I missed you."

His words caught her off guard. What did he mean by saying he missed her? He could not miss her, how would he miss her? His face was still buried in her shoulder where he laid a single kiss that made her shiver again. How silly she was, a single kiss affecting her after being loved by him.

"What do you mean?" She quietly asked. He nuzzled her neck, his fingers stroking her hair.

"I missed you." He repeated, not explaining himself, and her heart nearly skipped a beat.

"Aren't you angry?" she questioned, moving his face upward so that she can see his eyes. He rested his head on the pillow, his golden orbs staring back at her blue ones. She lowered her head and brought the covers up both their bodies.

"Because I was not a virgin?" She continued.

He stayed silent for a few seconds, his eyes uncertain. She flushed in embarrassment under his gaze. He suddenly smiled, his hand gently cupping her cheek.

"I am angry. But not because of that."

This time he laughed, seeing her stunned expression. "I cannot be angry because of that." He continued and she decided that she adored his laugh.

"Then why are you angry? Is it because I told you that you disgust me?"

His eyes hardened again and he made a move to withdraw his hand from her cheek but she held it there with her own.

"I don't know why I said that. You don't disgust me. You could never disgust me."

He nodded once before moving out of the bed of his bedroom. He quickly slipped his pants. Mercedes looked at him, her eyes following his movements. She sat up, her hands clutching the covers.

"Where are you going?" she asked, feeling suddenly sad. She just gave herself to him and there he was, planning on leaving her alone. Tears swam in her large blue eyes.

Sensing her distress, he casted her a quick smile before replying.

"The door's bell is ringing. Didn't you hear it Mercedes?"

She flushed and shook her head negatively. She was so caught in the moment that she didn't even hear it. He must think that she is a fool. He slipped his shirt on.

"Who would come at such a late hour?" She asked and for the first time, she heard the bell.

"I don't know. Stay here okay?"

She nodded as he got up and made his way towards the main door of his apartment. The bell rang, this time more insistently. He opened the door and his brother crashed on him. He held Sesshumaru's limp body with his own.

"What the fuck?" Inuyasha cursed, dragging his brother on the nearest couch. Sesshumaru laughed before collapsing on the couch, looking like a mess.

"Are you drunk?" The younger man nearly shouted. Sesshumaru laughed again and tried to get up but his efforts were useless.

"Maybe I am. You drink all the time Inuyasha."

"I can handle it better than you." Inuyasha replied, passing a hand in his hair. "Why the hell did you do that to yourself?"

His older brother's face suddenly turned serious.

"That bitch…" he grunted with anger."That bitch left me!" he shouted, tossing the bottle he was holding on the wall, shattering it to a million pieces.

"Rin left you?" Inuyasha asked. His brother nodded.

"Don't worry Sessh. I'll talk with her tomorrow."

"No!" Sesshumaru shouted, again trying to get up but failing. "I'll deal with her. She doesn't deserve my love. She just wants to be with her brother. Well you know what, fuck them."

Inuyasha kneeled in front of his brother.

"Sessh, you don't know what you're saying. You're drunk and you cannot go back to your house alone. I'm sorry I don't have the force to carry you to one of my rooms. You'll stay here okay?"

Sesshumaru stared at his brother before bursting in a laugh.

"It's funny to see you without those dark glasses. I see that you're finally over Kagome right?"

Inuyasha took a glance over his bedroom. He knew that Mercedes was able to hear them.

"Just sleep Sessh okay?"

"Of course. I am happy that you are done with your obsession with her. You know, she's dead and you should stop loving her because…you know, she's dead and you're alive."

He laughed again.

"You're right," Inuyasha tried, afraid of what his brother was saying would be heard by Mercedes. "Just rest and we'll talk tomorrow."

The older brother suddenly frowned.

"Now that I think about it, we never talked about how much your assistant resembled…"

"Shut up!" Inuyasha shouted, making his brother flinch even in his drunken state. "This conversation is over."

He angrily went to the main door and locked it with his keys before moving back to the living room. He coldly stared at his brother.

"I locked the door so don't think about leaving the place. I am going back to sleep. You should sleep too. Tomorrow, we will talk."

Inuyasha entered his bedroom and locked the door, not wanting his brother to see Mercedes in his drunken state. He found her asleep on the bed. He smiled and joined her, wrapping his arm around her waist and burying his face in her neck.

"I love you." He whispered to her sleeping form before letting sleep claim him. As soon as his breathing became regular, Mercedes opened her eyes, her face flushed. He said he loved her while he thought she was asleep. A warm feeling spread in her chest. He loved her, she heard him. She turned in his arms so that she would face him and her eyes clashed with the semi heart necklace he was wearing, even when they made love. She suddenly felt jealous, extremely jealous from what was hanging from his neck. She heard his brother telling him about his love for Kagome. She had also heard him repeating that name over and over when he was unconscious. Her heart clenched in her chest. She hated that name, she despised that girl.

Inuyasha shifted in his sleep, snuggling his face in her hair and inhaling deeply. Her hand slowly wrapped around the semi heart and squeezed it with hatred. She wanted him to be hers, only hers and that thing that was laying in her hand was the symbol of his love for another woman.

Her expression darkened. She would make sure that he will forget Kagome, even if she had to erase her completely. She let the necklace go and her mind drifted back to Naraku. What would he say once he will find out what had occurred between her and Taisho? She heard the latter sigh and a smile spread across her face. She buried her head in his shoulder, taking in his manly scent. For once, she would not care.

Chris was pacing the large office of Naraku. He was now the director of the company, assuming all the responsibilities. He sighed before looking at his cell phone. Mercedes had left the day before and didn't return yet. It was early in the morning and he didn't want to disturb her by calling but the man she brought with her from France was asking about her. A loud noise was heard from the exterior of the office and Inuyasha suddenly entered, followed by Naraku's secretary.

"I am so sorry, I could not stop him." She apologized. Inuyasha didn't seem to care as he took place on one of the chairs and stared at Chris.

"It's okay. I'll deal with him. You can go." She nodded and left them alone.

Silence dominated a few seconds before Inuyasha spoke.

"Chris, how nice to see you again. How is Naraku? Still hurting I hope?"

Chris took place in front of him, returning his stare.

"Actually, he will be better. We're waiting for him to wake up."

Inuyasha smirked.

"Really? I honestly do hope that he will wake up because I have good news. I will remove all the charges I was willing to file against your company in exchange of my own shares in my own company. Return the shares and I will give you a guarantee not to sue you."

Chris eyed him before replying.

"You will have your shares Taisho. Don't worry about it. But you know that once Naraku will wake up, he will make sure that you pay for what you have done, for what you have said to him."

Inuyasha's eyes lit with rage.

"Careful careful Chris. You're stepping in dangerous territories. I will tell you this, my friend. I swear to God, if Naraku does anything to remove Mercedes from me, I will kill him."

Chris looked at the man in front of him before replying.

"Do you really honestly think that Mercedes will love you like Kagome did? Never. She hates you."

"She'll learn to love me." The young businessman replied. "With no time, she'll be back like she used to be, before you and the monster you call your boss destroyed her!" He finally yelled, his hands clenched into fists. "You asshole! You sick bastard!"

Chris got up, his rage apparent.

"We saved her! We saved her from you! You destroyed her and Naraku helped her recover again! She is not Kagome anymore, she's a new person and you know well that if you tell her the truth, she will go into shock. You will damage her furthermore."

Inuyasha got up, kicking the chair, silencing Chris with his sudden outburst.

"I know!" He shouted. "But she will love me like I love her!"

Chris smirked.

"I assume that you have her now."

Sensing Inuyasha's silence, he laughed.

"Enjoy your shares Taisho because once Naraku is back, everything will change. Mercedes or should I say Kagome is Naraku's. You'll never have her."

Inuyasha made his way towards the lawyer and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. They both stared angrily at each other before Taisho spoke.

"Did he touch her?" he suddenly asked, his voice trembling. Chris felt fear rush in his veins.

"No." He stated. Inuyasha's eyes calmed considerably. He let him go and took a few steps backward.

"Kagome is mine. Your boss will never have her, even if I'll have to kill him."

With that, he left. Chris looked at the empty spot where Inuyasha was standing a few seconds ago. Somehow, Inuyasha had managed to find out that Kagome was Mercedes. He faced Naraku and hell broke loose. He closed his eyes. He had lied to Mercedes. Naraku was not afraid of Taisho because of the illegal deals he made. He was afraid that Inuyasha will tell her that she was Kagome. He took a deep breath. Once Naraku would wake up, he will know what to do.

Inuyasha was making his way out of Naraku's company when he spotted Rin parking her car. He went to her. Rin saw him coming and tried to get back to her car but he was faster. He grabbed her by her arm, forcing her to look at him.

"What do you want?" She asked, glaring at him."And what are you doing here?"

Inuyasha exhaled loudly.

"Rin, that's ridiculous. I am not going to file any charge against your brother. Come back to Sesshumaru. He is devastated. Last night, he went to my apartment all drunk and messed up. He misses you. Don't be stubborn and come back home."

Rin detached herself roughly from him.

"This problem is between me and your brother. Don't stick your nose in what doesn't concern you!" She yelled.

"Don't be rude with me!" The businessman scolded. "You talk as if it was his fault. You are the one who took Chris' side knowing that Chris was actually robbing us!"

"He's my brother!" She exclaimed.

"Fine! I won't press any charges against him! Happy? Where is the problem?"

Rin looked away.

"I want to divorce. I just can't stay with him when he doesn't respect me."

Inuyasha took a few steps back.

"Great! Fucking great!" He yelled in the street. "Just be like that! You two just solve your issues alone! I will not be a part of your game. I have more than that to worry about!"

"Fine!" She yelled as he made his way towards his car. "You two are just alike! You jerks!"

He didn't answer. He simply got in his car and accelerated.
