"Then why are you with me?" he asked again.

"Because I am in love with you and I wish nothing more than to please you, my love."

Inuyasha took a deep breath before looking at her again.

"You are mine Kagome, don't ever think that you can get rid of me. If you are not to be with me, than you are not to be with anyone else, I will make sure of that." He warned.

She looked at him, a little confused.

"Are you threatening me Inuyasha?" She asked, uncertain.

"Yes I am. You will not fool with my heart, Kagome."

Inuyasha stepped out of his small apartment, his suitcase dragged behind him. For her, he wore darkness for three years. For her, he left all his fortune behind. For her, he disappointed his father and made a friendship with his sworn enemy. For her he was ready to do anything. He loved her but not anymore. Seeing her with Rubin was the hardest thing he had been through, but he will make her pay. He had all his life to make her pay. She will learn that his heart could love beyond all belief and could hate beyond all logic. Her stay in the island would be a nightmare. He smiled to himself as he got in the taxi he had called. Yes, he would make sure of that. By the end of the shooting of 'princess of my heart', she will get to know the new heartless Inuyasha.

"Take me to the airport."

The Inuyasha he was before he even met her. He smirked, looking from the window as the taxi started moving. The bad Inuyasha.

Rubin and Mercedes arrived at the airport early in the morning. They soon spotted Inuyasha patiently waiting for them. As soon as he saw them he smiled and made his way towards them. Mercedes frowned a little. The business man was not the smiling type. In fact, he rarely even smiled.

"Glad you came on time." He announced, stepping closer. Rubin nodded and continued walking, followed closely by Mercedes. Ignoring Inuyasha was the best idea at the moment. They went in the little restaurant since the flight was delayed for an hour.

Inuyasha immediately sat across them, his smile widening slightly.

"Why are you so happy today?" Rubin finally asked, not being able to hold the question anymore. The young man shrugged, taking a gulp of his black coffee.

"Why wouldn't I be happy, Rubin?" He responded, staring at him. Kagome huffed.

"Well, perhaps because you're always in a dark mood. Seeing you happy is one of the wonders of the world." She interrupted, looking at him.

Inuyasha smiled at her.

"People change."

"No they don't." She interrupted, still staring at him. "What are you up to?"

He didn't reply, instead, he got up and waved to a pair of men standing at the entrance of the restaurant. Rubin stared in horror as the two individuals came towards them.

"Taisho!" The singer exclaimed. "Do you know who these two are?"

Inuyasha didn't have time to respond as the two men arrived. Rubin immediately stood up, shaking hands with them.

"Rubin, long time no see." One of them said as they sat on the table. Inuyasha nodded, answering before anyone could.

"Rubin, Mercedes, I am not sure if you know who the two gentlemen are. They are the best critics in the whole country and they came specially to make an interview with you two."

Rubin stood up, smiling at the two men.

"Excuse me; I have to discuss something with Mr. Taisho."

The two men nodded as he literally dragged Inuyasha towards an isolated corner. Once alone, Rubin couldn't control his temper anymore.

"What the hell!" He shouted, glaring at a very amused Inuyasha. "Do you know how much their opinion counts to me? I always prepare ahead for my interview with them! Look at me! I look like shit! They will write it! Yes they will! They will say that Rubin looked like shit!"

Taisho chuckled.

"I thought you would be happy that I brought them to you."

"You asshole!" Rubin accused, grabbing him by his shoulder. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Because you saw me with Mercedes."

"Let me go." Inuyasha ordered, still smiling, however his voice was suddenly cold. "I am your new manager and I order you to make the interview right now."

"I am not prepared!" Rubin hissed.

"I'll help you." The young businessman assured, smiling a little. "Don't worry about a thing."

"I don't understand your question." Rubin said, frowning at the man in front of him. The latter sighed heavily, still staring at the star.

"I said, if you are a model for teenagers, why would you party at night and drink nonstop? Aren't you giving a bad example to the new generation? And if you said that external beauty doesn't matter to you, why did you choose this beautiful young lady to shoot the video clip with you? Why didn't you choose someone who isn't as beautiful as her? Or were you just bluffing?"

Rubin gulped, exchanging a quick look with an equally embarrassed Mercedes. He was not prepared to their questions, and neither was she. He then looked at Inuyasha who was calmly zipping his coffee as if nothing was going on.

"I…"

He could not answer as the other man bombarded him with another question.

"You told me that you two were on a relationship now. But when we used to ask you about your relationships, you said that you were single. Why were you trying to keep your relationship silent and why did you decide to announce it to the world so suddenly? Don't you consider yourself reckless?"

Rubin took a shuddering breath. If this interview happen to get published, he will definitely lose some points from his popularity.

"It was his idea." Mercedes suddenly answered, breaking the awkward silence by pointing her index towards Inuyasha. The young businessman stared at her for a moment. She smiled before explaining.

"Mr. Taisho said that we should keep it a secret. In fact, everything is all his idea. Why don't you ask him?"

The two men turned towards the businessman. Inuyasha put his cup of coffee down and gave them the coldest look he could master. He surely didn't expect Kagome to blame him but he should have guessed. Three years with Naraku would turn an angel to a demon. In fact, they did turn her from an angel to a demon.

"My job is to satisfy my clients' desires. I only did what I was asked to."

"Really?" Rubin asked smiling sweetly at him; however, his eyes didn't hide his anger. "Don't be so shy Inuyasha. We all know that this is your idea."

An awkward silence stretched before the two critics excused themselves.

"The time is up. Thank you for this interview."

As soon as they left, Rubin glared at Inuyasha, his eyes blazing with fire.

"You will regret this." He swore before storming out, already dialing a number. Inuyasha laughed lightly.

"That was fun."

Mercedes stared at him in shock.

"Are you crazy?" she finally squeaked. "You made these two men come and interview us without even letting us know a thing about it! You tried to ruin it didn't you? You're sick!" she said in disgust, her eyes already judging him.

Inuyasha's smile suddenly faded. How dare she? How did she think that he would take her relationship with Rubin? She made fun of him and it was his time to get his revenge. He had given his heart to her and what had she done? She stepped all over it! His eyes darkened. She even admitted having affairs with other men while she was supposed to be his and only his. However, her affair with Rubin was unforgivable. She will pay as much as he paid. She will suffer as much as he did.

He leaned forward, his eyes boring holes in hers. Suddenly, she couldn't breathe anymore. Those golden eyes staring at her with so much hatred. Her heart thundered in protest. It was not her fault, she had to leave him in order to protect him but her traitor hear wouldn't stop beating at the sight of him. She loved him, why did she have to love him? His stare was so intimidating, so deep…like when they were alone, completely alone in the privacy of the night. A chill ran down her spine. She shouldn't think like that. She should hate him or at least show him how much she did.

"Listen to me." He whispered, his voice raising goose bumps on her skin. She swallowed, trying as much as she could to stay still.

"I recommend you to leave right now as long as you still have the chance to do so."

"And if I don't?" she challenged, her stare matching his with the intensity.

He smirked.

"You don't know me Mercedes. I don't feel like seeing you every day. But if I must, I will make it on my terms. If you have any dignity, just go home. Stay here and I will shatter you."

She smirked back despite the pang in her heart.

"Really? I knew that you will show your true colors Taisho. I will stay. I will shoot the video clip and I will be with Rubin whether you like it or not. You will not be able to get me away from Rubin." Her smile widened. There, she knew she hurt him with the way his eyes darkened. Satisfied that he was hurting as much as she was, she continued. "You see, you may think that it's just a passing relationship but it's not. I think I am really interested in him. He knows how to satisfy a woman."

Again, she saw his hurt. He was the one who moved on so quickly. He was the one with kikyo. She wished she could hurt him more. Her heart was hurting, her head throbbing but she wouldn't care. She knew he never loved her. It was all about Kagome but she will hurt him as much as she could.

"Really? Do you think that Rubin will keep you? As soon as he gets his fill from you he will leave you behind, just like I would have done. Women like you are only meant to satisfy our desires in bed. I bet you're excellent in this field Mercedes. I am really sorry I cannot afford you anymore. We would have had fun. "

Her eyes widened and she felt a lump in her throat. He thought she was a whore. She suddenly felt like a whore.

"I never had fun with you Taisho." She immediately lied, satisfied with how much her voice seemed calm. "You were weak. I just faked it all."

Tensed silence stretched, interrupted when they heard their flight being announced. Inuyasha immediately got up.

"You took the wrong choice sweetheart." He stated.

She smiled.

"You know what Taisho: 'Your heart is always the best book in the library', and my heart tells me that I made the best choice."

He stared at her for a second before replying.

"Maybe, if you even had a heart it would have been true. Come on. It's time to go."

Mercedes looked at his retreating form before grabbing her mirror from her purse, trying as best as she could to wipe the tears before they fall. He would never see her cry, at least not because of his words. No, she would not give him this satisfaction.

'Women like you are only meant to satisfy our desires in bed. I bet you're excellent in this field Mercedes. I am really sorry I cannot afford you anymore. We would have had fun.' his voice rang in her ears and the tears immediately fell.

"Rubin, calm down!" Kikyo ordered the young fuming star. They were both standing at the gates. "I am sure that Inuyasha didn't mean it!"

"Yes he did!" he exclaimed. "He embarrassed me! I sounded like a child! What would my fans think?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Please. I am sure you're overreacting. Inuyasha wants your best interest."

"The hell he does! He just wants to piss me off. You don't know him! He's the devil himself! I will not work under his rule!"

The young woman glared at him.

"We agreed that you associate with that woman! It is your duty to agree with Inuyasha. In fact, Inuyasha is the best choice ever!"

Rubin looked at her, one of his eyebrows rising.

"I see."

"What do you see?" she snapped, not liking the look he was giving her.

"Kikyo! He has you wrapped around his finger! Listen to you, defending him like a tigress. He will only break your heart. He always does that!"

"Rubin, that's enough." She exclaimed, her face red. "You don't Know Inuyasha. He's not like that!"

"Oh yeah? Just let me warn you, Inuyasha loves Mercedes. He's only using you to get to her. You're better than this Kikyo."

With that, he left her standing alone. She sighed heavily before grabbing her cell phone, quickly dialing a number.

"Hello, yes…yes this is me…yes…I need a favor…yes…I want you to give me information about someone…as soon as possible…it's a girl…Mercedes…her name is Mercedes."

She then flipped her phone closed, her eyes diverting elsewhere. She had feelings for the young businessman working in her company. Since the first time she saw him, her heart started whispering in her ear. She would not let him slip that easily from her. Mercedes will not take him away from her. She smiled secretly. Oh yes, Mercedes will not have such a pleasant stay. She would make sure of that.

She was brought back from her thoughts when she heard her flight being announced.

Sesshuamru entered his brother's old luxurious apartment. Since Inuyasha left, no one had entered the apartment. He walked in, surveying the area. He could see bottles of drinks everywhere. The apartment was dirty and kind of smelled. He made a mental note to get the maid to clean things up. He took a deep breath as he made his way towards his brother's room. Inuyasha had left some important documents in his apartment and now, he had to fetch them back. Of course he tried to call Inuyasha but apparently, the young man changed his cell phone number. He rolled his eyes: as if he would not find him if he wanted to.

He kicked an empty bottle from the way. Yes, his brother was definitely an alcoholic. He entered the room and made his way towards the closet. He tried to open it but it was firmly locked.

"Great!" He shouted in the empty room. He got a knife from the kitchen and immediately started working on the hinges. A few minutes later they cracked. Satisfied, Sesshumaru opened the closet and glanced inside. It was empty. He fumbled in the drawers. Nothing. He couldn't find anything. He was about to leave but stopped at the bedroom's door, his eyes narrowing.

Why would his brother lock the closet so firmly if it was empty? Why didn't he leave it just opened? Inuyasha was not the type to be so tedious. Why would he lock the closet?

He went back and searched again. Still nothing. He was about to lose hope when his hand collided with the side of it and a loud bang was heard. He frowned and knocked a little on the same side. There was again a deep sound. He smiled. There was a secret closet inside. He removed all the drawers and spotted the tiny line that was keeping the hidden place from the rest of the closet. Slowly, he slid it open. Maybe Inuyasha was hiding some money, he thought, smiling widely. His brother was such a child.

What thing would need a secret hiding place? A document? Why didn't he put it in the bank? Money? Probably. He looked inside and was surprised to see a little black folder. Frowning he took it and went to sit on the bed.

He stayed there, staring at it for a few minutes. Maybe Inuyasha didn't want anyone to read the file. Maybe he should put it back in the closet. Maybe he shouldn't have brought it from the hiding place.

His eyes suddenly stilled. What if Inuyasha was sick? What if he was in trouble? He gulped curiosity and worry eating him up. Finally, he opened the folder. His eyes traveled the first few lines before widening slightly as he read further more. A loud gasp echoed through the room as he read the whole thing. Gently, he put the folder again in the closet, his hands trembling slightly.

He paced the room back and forth, his hands getting cold and warm at the same time, little droplets of sweat trickling his forehead.

"Impossible, it cannot be. No way, maybe it's a mistake, a joke. No, no, I refuse to believe."

He dropped on the bed, his head between his hands.

"Mercedes is Kagome!"

Rin was patiently waiting in the little café. Her ex-husband had called her, insisting that he had to speak to her, urgently.

"Rin." She heard from behind us. She turned away and saw Sesshumaru coming towards her, looking strangely pale. He sat in front of her, not even greeting her.

"Did you know?" he asked, his eyes searching hers. Taken aback by his sudden behavior, she frowned.

"What are you talking about?"

"About Mercedes." He continued. She looked at him in confusion. He suddenly exhaled, aware that his ex-wife was also left in the dark. He leaned in his chair, his hand going to his forehead. He was feeling a little bit warm.

"What's wrong with you? You look like if you have seen a ghost."

He laughed a real big laugh. Rin stared at him in wonder, but couldn't help but smile. He didn't laugh that much and when he did, well, it was contagious.

"What?" she asked, still smiling. He shook his head, his face still shining with happiness.

"I did!" he exclaimed, his voice emotional.

Rin looked at him in wonder.

"You did what?"

He stared at her, his smile widening as he spoke.

"I did see a ghost. I saw Kagome!"

Rin was silenced by shock, her eyes searching his for the truth.

"Is this a joke?" she exclaimed, rage in her eyes. Kagome was her friend in college and she died so young. A joke about her was really not welcomed. "What are you doing? How dare you speak about her like this?"

She got up from her seat; ready to storm away when his hand shot up and grabbed hers tightly, his face serious.

"I saw Kagome and you saw her too."

Her eyes widened slightly.

"Shut up!" she ordered, feeling a weird feeling of dread coming from the bottom of her heart.

"It's her Rin. Mercedes, she's Kagome and Inuyasha knew it! That's why! That's why he wanted to marry her! He knew that this was her!"

Not able to stand anymore, she collapsed on the chair.

"What?" she whispered. "If Inuyasha told you that, it doesn't mean it's true. We all know that he was so desperate when she dies. He just wants her back. He's making up things…"

"I have the proof." Sesshumaru interrupted. "Inuyasha has the proof. He…He made a DNA test. I still have the document. He also has all the facts about her. She only appeared three years earlier. All the information previous to that date is made up. He proved everything. He knew, and as the date of the DNA test shows, he knew from months!

"My God!" Rin squeaked, hiding her face with her hand, tears slipping from her eyes. "How? When? I mean, Kagome is alive!"

The young man hushed her.

"Don't raise your voice. I don't believe that this information should get out from between us."

She nodded, wiping away her tears.

"I am so happy for Inuyasha. He finally found her. Now he can be with her…" Rin started but fell silent when Sesshumaru shook his head negatively.

"My brother told me before he started working for Solaris that she left him. He was devastated. They're not together anymore."

Rin bit her bottom lip, deep in thoughts.

"No, that won't do Sesshumaru. They have to be together. They are meant to be together. We should help them. Inuyasha deserves his chance in happiness. Kagome too. Oh My God, I cannot believe she's alive!"

She suddenly frowned.

"But I don't understand. Why did she disappear and why is her name Mercedes?"

Her ex-husband nodded.

"She has amnesia. She doesn't remember and I believe my brother never told her."

"Wait a minute!" Rin exclaimed, slowly getting up from her initial shock. "Chris! Chris knew her from Naraku! Does this mean that he knew she was Kagome but hid it from us? Oh My God! That's why Naraku sent her! He knew that she will affect Inuaysha! They planned it all along! My brother and Naraku! They were going to drive Inuyasha crazy! Remember that day in the demon's club when she was dressed in that blue dress! She looked just like her!"

"Rin…" Sesshuamru started. "You're jumping to conclusions.

"No I am not! My brother will pay for this! How could he! I will never forgive him!"

Sesshumaru sighed.

"I don't know what to do anymore! Mean, now that I know that Kagome is Mercedes and vice versa I can feel Inuyasha's suffering. But now that she left him, does he want her back or did he stop loving her. And why did she leave him? Again, don't forget that Mercedes is nothing like Kagome. She's different. Maybe my brother realized that he didn't like Mercedes."

Rin leaned back in her chair.

"Why did you tell me Sesshumaru?" she suddenly asked, making his eyes snap towards her. Silence stretched between them before he finally answered.

"I didn't know what to do. You were the first person I though t about so…"

"Thank you." she smiled. He glanced at her.

"For what?"

"For trusting me with this, after all what I did, I didn't think that you would forgive me and…"

"I didn't forgive you." He interrupted, making her face fall immediately. "This is not about us Rin because there isn't 'us' anymore. It's about Inuyasha and Kagome. I trust you, yes I do, but that doesn't mean that I forgot what you did. In fact, I think I would never forget what you did."

"Sesshumaru, please let me explain…" she begged, her eyes filling with tears."I was lost, I thought…"

"Enough Rin." He interrupted his face cold again. "We made a mistake by getting married and you fixed this mistake. I just want you to help me with my brother's thing because you are a friend of the family and I don't know who to go to anymore. Just drop our subject or I will start regretting this friendship I want to start between us."

"Okay." She replied in a small voice. "Where is Inuyasha anyway?"

"I don't know. I will contact Solaris today."
