AN/ Okay chapter fourteen is here, I hope ya'll are happy now! I typed so fast and so much that my knuckles and joints in my hands and wrists are all cramped :( But I iced them down so I think I'll be fine...

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and company...but I wish I did.

Inuyasha's POV

"I mean come on! I really don't think that penmenship should count when it comes to homework, it just counters against ya you know?" I nodded dumbly, tapping my finger rhythmically on the table. I had to admit that I was neither listening to whatever it was that Kouga was talking about, nor did I care...I was only agreeing with him to appease him. 'Where is Kagome? I hope she's alright...' it had been a good half an hour since she had gone upstairs to think, and quite frankly, I was really worried, especially since Sesshomaru was the only one besides Kagome who wasn't present at the breakfast table. My hand seized up, the tapping stopped. 'If he went up there to mess with her I'll kill the bastard!' well, I'd probably kill him anyway if I could get away with it, but this would give me a reason.

"Inuyasha?" I blinked before glancing up at Miroku, who was giving me both a look of concern and curiosity...it was really pissing me off. I scowled.

"What?"

"You've been behaving strangly ever since you and Kagome went to talk to your father...what happened?" my frown deepened as I remembered the 'talk' that we had had before breakfast. I smirked. 'I guess now is an okay time to drop the bomb on Kouga...I can't wait to see what happens when I tell him'

"Oh nothing much...dad just wanted to tell me and Kagome something that apparently Sesshomaru already knew, I was mad at first, but then I realized that it would just get rid of one of my many problems," they blinked, and I cocked an eyebrow in question.

"What?"

"You were thinking?" I flinched, an angry twitch forming.

"What, do I not have the mental capacity to think now? Be serious guys!" they looked at each other than back at me. My eye twitched.

"Fine, fine I'm sorry! Now will you tell us what's wrong?" Kouga snorted and leaned back in his chair, tipping it back with his feet propped on the table.

"Whatever it is I bet it's stupid...Inuyasha's problems are always so simple," I smirked.

"Oh you'll change your opinion when you hear this..." another snort and then silence.

"Either me, or Sesshomaru has to marry Kagome," and BOOM! Instant mayhem.

"WHAT!?..." Kouga had fallen backwards off of his chair in his moment of fury and shouted at the same time, 'I didn't know Kouga could multi task,' I smirked again and leaned back, taking in the shocked and surprised expression's on my friends faces.

""Are you serious Inuyasha?" I nodded and raised an eyebrow when Miroku suddenly looked thoughtful.

"You bastard! You can't just force someone into marriage! That's just imoral!" Kouga shouted as he stood up, slamming his hands on the table making all of the cutlery shake and rattle. I merely sighed.

"I know Kouga, but this is what our parents decided, not us...if you have a problem go yell at either my dad or Kagome's" I knew full well that Kouga wouldn't dare yell at my father let alone protest against his decisions, and that if he yelled at Kagome's father he would be in trouble with Kagome. So he huffed and settled for pouting.

"This is just plain unfair..." my eyes narrowed at the idiot.

"Your just mad because this means you don't have a chance with her anymore!"

"You moron! I meant for Kagome! It's unfair that this was sprung on her so suddenly, she's only fourteen and she's being thrown into something she shouldn't even be thinking about until she's ready! This is some seriously screwed up crap that those stupid adults have forced on her..." I blinked in surprise. Kouga was right, while I was being selfish and gloating about it, Kouga was actually thinking about Kagome's well being and feelings. I felt low.

"Yeah, your right Kouga..." I sighed deeply and leaned back in my seat as Kouga sat back down. An uncomfortable silence filled the room quickly and made me feel uneasy. Then I stood from my chair and left the room, no one stopped me. I guess they all knew where I was going. I wasn't going to let my asshole of a half brother hurt her.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

A fool in love makes no sense to me. But then again why should it? There are many things that make sense, and many things that don't, what is the point in dwelling on those things that seem not to make any sense? When if the answer has yet to be found, would it ever be?

To me, love is like a haunting melody that I have never mastered, and I feared I never would. The concept of love had eluded me as had the actual feeling itself, I had waited for it to happen, but not once had the symptom's of the wretched sickness called love plauged my mind and heart. And for reasons beyond my own understanding, I wanted them to. And then finally something had happened, the start of the symptoms that usually accompanied the illness that is love. The uneasy stomach, the dizziness, the overflowing warmth that washes over you...all of those things had cursed my very body and soul, they were all I could think about as I lied awake at night and wondered who could have ensued these emotions upon me. It had only been a mere moment when my eyes had scanned over a large crowd of people looking for my stupid half brother who had run off ahead of me just to tick me off, and it happened. My eyes had landed upon a young girl, only a few years younger than myself, she had long ebony hair, and bright sparkling blue eyes, and a smile that could light up our entire mansion.

I had gone into a temporary state of shock, the emotions that had rushed through me felt odd and foreign to my very nature. And for the first few months of these feelings at the very thought of her I had denied the fact that I could possibly love this girl. Hell I didn't even know her name. It was stupid to love somebody you don't even know, and I am not stupid. If anyone was stupid it was my half brother Inuyasha, he had come home one day and started going on about this new girl in his class, Kagome Higurashi, he had obviously held feelings for the girl, and had foolishly submitted to his own emotions. presenting himself as a vaunrable little puppy. I mocked him constantly and teased him and made him angry beyond all reason just so that I could distract myself from thinking about the girl whose name I didn't even know...I didn't know how wrong I was.

I knew her name, I had heard it many times before from my own half brother's mouth. Inuyasha had called ahead on his cell to tell us that the girl he had been talking about all this time was going to be coming over so that they could work on their project. Personally I couldn't have cared less at the time, father had come into my room and told me that we were going to have a visitor and expected me to come downstairs to introduce myself. So I reluctantly got up and went downstairs to the entryway, only to stop at the bottom of the staircase. Standing there in the same school uniform that I had seen her in before was the girl who had been unknowingly weaving herself into my heart and mind ever since the day I had first laid eyes on her.

When her eyes made contact with mine my mind had suddenly been wiped of all clear thought, and I could have sworn my heart had stopped beating. But I kept my stoic persona in tact. I couldn't have her thinking of me as some weakling who let his emotions run the show, I didn't want her comparing me to Inuyasha.

When I approached her and held out my hand, only to be polite of course, she smiled at me and shook my hand enthusiastically before greeting me with equal energy. That was the day that I, Sesshomaru Taisho, fell in love.

And now, years later I'm sitting here in my room, at my desk, staring out my window with unfocused eyes. I couldn't stop thinking about what she had said to me only mere minutes ago. I brought a hand up to the spot on my chest that my heart sat beating, and gripped uncounsciously at the thin cloth that covered my chest. Her words had hurt more than any physical injury ever could, while trying not to let my weakness show I pushed her away, telling her that I couldn't care less who she chose to marry, that I could live with whatever choice she made. The truth is that if she does choose Inuyasha, I would be crushed. I couldn't even bare to think about it. My eyes narrowed in determination as I stood from my seat and started out my door and down the hall. 'I'm going to correct my mistake, and make things right with us...it just can't end like this' and with those thoughts in mind I allowed my feet to lead me to the first place I could think of that she might have gone.

The Balcony...

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

That bitch. Only a day ago I had been informed that I was to accompany my brother to a casual dinner with Sesshomaru, and of course I was excited. I have been deeply in love with my Sesshy since the day we met. I mean come on! He is totally perfect for me! His perfect body and the fact that he's filthy stinkin' rich only boosted his appeal. Imagine my surprise when he walked in with a girl on his arm. I was furious! She couldn't compare to the exquisite beauty that is me, Kagura Toukai!

She was shy and yet talketive, annoying if you ask me. She said that she wanted to be a writer, yeah right! As though that airhead could ever be more than a filthy whore. She thought she was fooling everyone, but I knew that she was only after my Sesshy for his money. I could even tell that she didn't like being there, and for once in my life I was glad that my brother was there, though I hate him with every fiber of my being. I knew that my brother was interested in the whelp, though I couldn't imagine why, he usually went for virgins or cuter girls...but none the less I could tell that his gaze made her a little more than a little uncomfortable, like all of the girls that he picked up. I was disgusted with him, lowering his taste to someone like her, but if it got her away from my Sesshy then I have no problem with my brothers desire for airheads.

"Kagura," I was snapped out of my reverie, as my elder brother's voice rang through my room from the doorway. I withheld a shiver of disgust as I slowly turned to him, my lips pursed into a firm line.

"Yes, dear brother?" his smirk was almost to much to handle, I just wanted to slap him until his face was frozen in pain. But I could wait, for now.

"Kagura, you have said that the girl that Taisho was with at our dinner was staying with Sesshomaru, correct?" I raised an elegent eyebrow at him and crossed my legs, folding my hands over my lap.

"Yes, and that is relevent how exactly?" his smirk got wider as he brushed a few stray bangs from his pale, shallow face.

"I wish to see her again sometime, you will give her a message," my eyes narrowed.

"And what would that message be?" his face now adorned a twisted expression that nearly made me want to hide, and his eyes now held what I could only describe as lust, and insanity.

"Tell her that she, and Sesshomaru are both invited to my party next friday," I frowned, didn't Kagome say at one point during our dinner that her birthday was next friday?

"Isn't that when..."

"Her birthday is? Yes, I know Kagura I'm not an idiot I do pay attention, at least when she's involved...now, I have some business to attend to, remember to give her the message Kagura," and with that he left, leaving me alone once again. Sighing with relief I clutched at my desk for support as what he had just told me went through my head. Yep, Naraku had totally lost it. Though I wouldn't dare tell him that to his face.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
