AN/ Sorry for not posting this sooner but my mom plays this online game and she is totally addicted to it, there for I had no access to the computer for the past two days...anyway, on with the next chapter!

Discaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and company...

When they finally got back to the mansion it was just before sunset...Inuyasha sighed with relief that they got back on time. He really wasn't looking forward to being grounded. Then he tugged on Kagome's shirt sleeve before she left the main entrance. She turned to face him with a raised eyebrow. There was a frown on his face as his grip on her sleeve tightened.

"What is it Inuyasha?" he sighed before letting go of her sleeve, with the frown still on his face.

"I think that we should go take a look around your room, just in case someone took something...you never know, sometimes the alarm systems in the mansion dont work so well..." her eyes widened in surprise and realization before nodding, grabbing hold of his sleeve, and dragging him up to the second level to her room. Upon reaching the door she saw that it was ajar.

'I closed the door before I left...' her grip on Inuyasha's sleeve tightened as she reached out and gently pushed the door open. Peering inside she hesitantly took a step into the room...Inuyasha edged in front of her and walked into the middle of the room, he glanced around for a couple of seconds before sighing with relief.

"There's no one here...that's a relief" Kagome glanced around until her eyes landed on the photo she had perched on the table next to the bed...it was on the opposite side of the table that she had placed it on. A deep frown of confusion formed on her features as she walked forward and picked it up.

"Whats that Kagome?" Inuyasha walked up behind her and looked over her shoulder at the picture in her hands. 'Oh, thats the picture that mom took of us at the new years festival three years ago...I have that one next to my bed too" then he spotted the frown on her face.

"Hey Kagome, are you okay?" she sighed and put the picture back down in the place that she usually had it.

"Somebody moved the picture..." Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.

"Really? How can you tell..." Kagome lifted a hand and pointed to where it sat.

"I put it there when I got here" then she pointed to the spot she had found it in...

"And it was here just now...somebody was in my room...but who?" she folded her arms across her chest and tapped her finger on her arm thoughtfully.

"Why would they come in my room just to look at a picture?" Inuyasha was frowning and looking sour...because he knew very well who it was.

"Hey Kagome, I'm gonna go get something to eat...you just continue with what your doing...okay?" she nodded and leaned over staring at the picture, as if it would give her all of the answers.

Scene Change

Sesshomaru sat at his desk looking over his homework, when out of nowhere Inuyasha burst into his room glaring at him. Turning his chair around so that he could face the intruder, Sesshomaru was careful to keep his emotionless mask plastered to his elegant face, so that Inuyasha didn't know that he had actually been quite startled that someone had just came barging into his room, even though Inuyasha did it regularly. Growling at the lack of response at his pressence Inuyasha approached his brother and brought a fist up threateningly as if he was going to punch him.

"Tell me Sesshomaru! Why were you in Kagome's room?" the young buisnessman in question raised a single dark brow, leaning his elbow on the arm of the chair, and resting his chin in his palm. Smirking, Sesshomaru chuckled lightly at the statement made by the younger of the two.

"Now now Inuyasha, what would make you think that I layed even a toe in that girls room? What buisness would I have in there in the first place?" Inuyasha growled ferociously at his brother.

"Don't play dumb Sesshomaru! I know that your up to something...what's with the sudden interest in Kagome?" Sesshomaru sighed before standing from his seat and glaring down at Inuyasha.

"I would think carefully before trying to threaten me, you insulent little brat" and with that Sesshomaru walked past him and out of his own door. Inuyasha just stood there for a moment before he fisted his hands at his sides and snarled.

"That bastard...if he thinks he's getting away with this he is sorely mistaken...and as for Kagome...he doesn't have a chance in hell" Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru's desk before noticing a picture frame, it had been put down so that no one could see it...a little more than a little curious Inuyasha walked over to the desk and lifted the frame. His eyes widened in shock at what he was looking at. It was a picture of Kagome in a crowded area of the mall, it looked like she didn't know that someone had just taken her picture...but she still looked happy, and very pretty. Narrowing his eyes at the photo he put it back down and left the room, in a formidable rage.

Scene Change

Kagome laughed heartily at the joke Miroku had told, holding her sides as she doubled over in pain from laughing so hard. Kouga merely chuckled and said that he had heard better, making Miroku smile pleasantly and state that not everything was a competition, which in turn made Kouga blush from embarrassment when Kagome giggled and told him to loosen up. At this point in the conversation Inuyasha had come into the room, with a scowl on his face. They all watched him as he walked past them to a spot over near the television, sitting down and folding his arms across his chest he looked up at the staring eyes.

"What are you lookin' at?!" they looked at each other before Kouga shot a glare his way.

"Calmdown mutt, what the hell crawled up your ass and died?" Inuyasha huffed and turned away from them, grumbling to himself.

"Just leave him alone...its the only thing to do when he gets like this" so they continued with their previous conversation as Inuyasha sat and pouted in his little corner of the room. Kagome would glance over at him every once and a while, she had to admit that she was a little worried about his behavior...but before she could question it, the last person she had suspected to enter the room did. Sesshomaru stood at the door way, giving his brother an analyzing stare before his attention was directed at Kagome. She fidgeted nervously under his gaze, and kept glancing at him, Noticing this Kouga looked over his shoulder from his seat on the couch to look at who or what Kagome kept looking at. When his eyes landed on Sesshomaru, Kouga noticed who he was staring at he let out a almost feral growl. Sesshomaru's molten amber eyes darted over to Kouga, and narrowed in distaste as he made his way through the room over to where Inuyasha was sitting. Inuyasha glanced up suspiciously before narrowing his eyes in anger.

"Heed this warning runt, if you touch anything on my desk, let alone in my room again, you will loose both of your hands..." his cold voice made Kagome shiver as she watched the scene before her...Inuyasha snorted with disbelief, looking up at his older sibling.

"Whatever, it was your own fault for leaving that picture of that girl out in plain sight" Sesshomaru stiffened, his eyes narrowing so much that they were only slits, his hands clenching by his sides, a feral growl ripping from his throat as he turned on his heels and left, slamming the door behind him. Everybodies heads snapped toward Inuyasha, looking at him expectantly.

"If you think I'm telling any of you who the picture is of you are all sorely mistaken...I can tell when he's being serious with his threats, and Im not risking my hands just so that you all can have a good laugh" and with that said Inuyasha got up, shoving his hands in his jeans pockets and left the room as well.

"Who do you think it is?" Kouga and Kagome glanced at Miroku, not expecting him to be the one to ask that question. They both shrugged, though Kouga looked thoughtful...'I can take a wild guess...' he glanced at Kagome, who also looked thoughtful. Kouga leaned forward making his bangs cover his face as a scowl spread across his face.

'If that bastard thinks he's gonna get his slimey hands on Kagome he's wrong...Kagome is mine, and nothing is going to change that!' "Kouga, are you alright?" his head snapped back up and he smiled brightly at Kagome.

"Yeah! I was just thinking about stuff!" Kagome smiled at him and patted his head affectionatly, making him blush. He stared at her as she talked and laughed with Miroku, who was telling her about something embarrassing that had happened to someone he knew at school. He smiled to himself as he watched her enjoy herself.

'No matter what, I'll get you to see that I am the perfect guy for you...somehow you'll see that we were meant for eachother...someday you'll see how much I love you'

Scene Change

As she lay in her bed staring up at the blank white ceiling, Kagome sighed deeply, pulling the sheets up higher on herself.

'Why do I keep thinking about him? What is this?' she closed her eyes, only to open them again, and rolled on to her side, curling into a ball trying to keep warm. 'Why does he insist on being a part of my thoughts? He's nothing but an icy jerk, so why do I keep imagining myself kissing him? Damn you Sesshomaru...' she scowled as she felt her face heat up. 'I'll deal with this tomorrow...I need some sleep' closing her eyes again, she drifted into a peaceful sleep.
