Chapter 9

"Bad news?" asked kagome, as she turned around to look at her father. He wasn't looking at her so that meant he did something that she wouldn't like.

"Well not bad for everyone, just maybe you and another person in the room." Smirked Inu no Taisho

"Which other person are you referring to?" asked kagome as narrowed her eyes at the man that she had come to like. But now, she didn't like him all that much.

"Well you know it's going to be one of my sons." Inu no Taisho said as he looked at Inuyasha.

"Oh, well if it's Inuyasha I'm fine!" said kagome happily.

"Oh, no, no, no my darling it is not Inuyasha. Even though I have a feeling you two have a thing going on between each other." Inu no Taisho said as he raised his eye brown at his youngest.

"Well that really wouldn't be any of your business old man. Would it." Inuyasha growled.

He didn't like that smug look on his fathers face. It said a lot and he sure as hell wasn't going to let any of his brothers take what belongs to him. He had a date with kagome on Saturday and that's that. No matter what his dad said.

"Tsk, tsk Inuyasha. Do not growl at me in front of our host. That is not the way I have raised you!" Inu no Taisho said as his eyes narrowed on Inuyasha

Sesshomaru knew that if is father went on giving Inuyasha a speech, they would last the whole night here listening to the argument , "father, we don't have time for your argument with Inuyasha, please get on with it."

"You are always the one to keep me on track" smiled Inu no Taisho

"Hn"

"Well as I was saying kagome you and one of my sons have to act as if you are a pair. We can't have you going around showing off your hate in front of other people because then that can ruin our chance of becoming a great business"

"NO, YOU CANT BE SERIOUS. THE ONLY PERSON I HATE FROM YOUR SONS IS HIM-pointed at Sesshomaru- I AM NOT ACTING LIKE HIS GIRL FRIEND." Screamed kagome

"But you have to my daughter!" whispered her father.

"I don't have to do shit. Why can't kikyo do it huh? Why does it have to be me?"

"Kikyo does not hold any type of hatred toward my son! Said Inu no Taisho.

Kagome was beyond pissed. And here was this idiot thinking that he could run her life. He was smiling that big smile, you could see his fangs. Kagome pounced on Inu no Taisho ready to purify him.

Kagome felt big strong arms wrap around her waist. She was heated and who ever was grabbing her was going to get burned along side Inu no Taisho

"Be still women."

Kagome was surprised, to say the least.

"Are you fucking serious? Here is that idiot-points at Inu no Taisho- telling me that I need to act like I'm your girlfriend, and you expect me to be ok with it."

"Hn"

"What do I look like to you? A whore! I don't fucking think so, you over sized dog. Now put me down before I purify you just like I'm about to do with your dad. I don't need two of you messing up my life!" kagome said as she wiggled her way out of Sesshomaru grasp. "Hey that's not such a bad idea. If I purify both of them, then that means I don't have to be bothered by anything. Yayyy I'm so fucking smart." Kagome laughed to herself as that thought popped it her head.

"You will not be causing any harm" growled Sesshomaru

"Hold up, Sesshy bear, Do not FUCKING scream at me you over sized piece of shit. I don't know how you treat girls; I really wouldn't give a shit. But I sure as hell am not letting you talk to me like that. You must be out of your fucking mind." Screamed kagome as she walked up to Sesshomaru and started poking him in the chest.

'Do not kill her!' screamed his beast. "Why the hell not? She is a nuisance to my person!" growled Sesshomaru. 'Because you idiot, she is angry and I know she sure as hell could hurt us. Sniff her-Sesshomaru sniffed the air in front of him as kagome still rambled on about how she was going to kill him and his father. - You see how strong she is. She has not learned how to control her powers fully. And let's not forget she is extremely gorgeous.' "She is, but look how defiant she is. She won't listen to our command." 'Duh you idiot, it is 2009 women are independent beings' Growled his beast. 'You are still stuck in the early 1800 and 1900's you need to get off that horse. Because if your dad forces you to be with her your life is going to be shitty!" said his beast as he walked back into his cage with a beautiful laugh that even had Sesshomaru growling. He knew that the beast was right.

"Stop touching me" Sesshomaru growled.

"Why should I?"

"Because if you don't stop I will remove you finger!" stated Sesshomaru evenly.

Inuyasha was in a daze. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Once again Sesshomaru got what he wanted. Not only did Sesshomaru get everything he wanted he also got everything Inuyasha wanted. Inuyasha was happy about going on the date with kagome on Saturday and he sure ass hell was going to get it; Even if he had to walk all over his father.

"No" said Inuyasha said, looking at his father with all the menace in the world.

"What?" asked his father narrowing his eyes at his younger son.

"I said no! Did you not fucking hear me? Is your old age already getting to the point that you can't hear properly." Inuyasha growled

"Are you challenging my decision Inuyasha?"

Inu no Taisho was angry that his son would even have the audacity of thinking about confronting him.

"I am"

Before anyone could even register what was happening, Inu no Taisho had Inuyasha by the neck against the wall. 'Do no hurt our son' "he deserves to be punished" hissed Inu no Taisho at his beast. The beast nodded its head knowing what Inu no Taisho said was true. 'But he is our pup. And he was defending what he thinks is his. Just like you would have defended your mate against your father' said the beast as he tried to reason with his master. 'Think about what we are going to go through now when we get home.'" I know she's going to try to kill me for doing this to our son, but my mind is set, she will date Sesshomaru and I will see to it that he falls in love with her." 'You can not force a relationship where there is none' said his beast as he walked away from his master to sit in his cage to meditate. The beast was preparing for the fight he and Izayoi were going to have over the marks that Inuyasha would be wearing for a while and the intimacy after the argument. That's what he was really waiting for.

"Let him go" screamed kagome as she ran over to help Inuyasha, he was turning purple.

She liked Inuyasha a lot; he was still baring his fangs at his father, stating that he was not going to submit to his father.

Before Inu no Taisho knew what was happening he felt his hands burning. He howled and turned around, dropping Inuyasha with the movement. Kagome saw that Inu no Taisho let Inuyasha go. she ran to his side and helped him regain his breathing. She was about to help him up when she felt a dangerous aura coming towards her. She pulled up her best purifying barrier. She closed her eyes and waited to hear the hiss of the demon being purified. When she didn't hear anything, she looked up to find a glaring Sesshomaru with an unconscious Inu no Taisho in his arms.

"Will you put down that barrier and hand over my brother. I think that our time here is up." Growled Sesshomaru, his eyes were growing red by the minute. 'Don't kill her'

"I know. Shut up"

"Why should I? He told me you hated him. How do I know you won't kill him on the way home? And then bury him far away where no one can find him. And if the do find him, blame it on Miroku." Kagome asked as she narrowed her eyes at Sesshomaru.

"I would do no such thing. If I were to kill the half-breed I would admit that I did it. Say that he disrespected his alpha and most likely I'll get off with a 250,000.000 bail." Said Sesshomaru with all the seriousness he could muster.

"You are the lowest of the low! If your stupid father thinks that I'm ever going to go out into the world and pretend to kiss and hug and love you then he must be on the best drugs that his money can buy him" shouted kagome as she helped Inuyasha up.

Kagome was mad that Sesshomaru thought that everyone had to obey his every command. Kagome hated being told what to do and her father knew it to. Talking about her father, Kagome turned around slowly to face him.

"You" kagome said walking to her father. "You know I hate being told what to do! you also know I do not mix business with my personal life." As she moved so did her barrier. She couldn't have Sesshomaru trying to take Inuyasha while he was still unconscious.

"Kagome I….I'm sorry but you have to do this!"

"Since when do I let you run my life? Since when do you decide who I let kiss and hug me? Since when do you FUCKING TELL ME HOW TO RUN MY LIFE" kagome had whispered the sentences until the last one. She was devastated.

"Since you were born"

"Hahahaha don't make me fucking laugh father. You take care …. Of me since I was born, you must be in a deep haze. You started trying to take care of me after my mother was murdered. And even after that you have not done a good job. Now you are wanting me to give up my freedom of choice, my right so that your stupid company goes well here (United States) and in Japan." Kagome spat.

Kikyo was out of words as she heard kagome speak those words to their father. All she could think was "kagome; no". She would have never said that to their dad.

"Not only are you trying to will me to do something I will not do. Now you are telling me that I have to listen to you because you "raised" me, you made me who I am today. If you think that, then you are very wrong. The woman I am today was made by my mother. Your wife, the women that loved you with all her heart, and what have you done to deserve her love, huh? You still haven't found the murderer…. You... are... Useless!" whispered kagome as tears ran down her face.

SLAP

"How dare you" whispered kikyo. "How dare you" whispered kikyo once again

Kagome was lost for words. She was crying furiously. Her mother must be looking down on her disappointed. Kagome cried and cried. Feeling strong arms wrap around her she looked back to see the only person in her barrier hugging her. She turned around in his hold and cried. She didn't mean anything she had said to her father. It kind of just came out. Her anger had gotten to her. She loved her dad. Kikyo and her father were the only two people she could really turn to when her mom died. They were the only ones who understood her pain. And here she was taking out the only thing that could hurt her father deep enough. She had been devastated in the back of her mind. Something deep down inside her was burning her.

"How could you" hissed kikyo as she was making her way again to hit kagome.

"I….. I….."Kagome couldn't look up at her sister, her mind wasn't hers anymore. She put her face back in Inuyasha chest. She hugged him furiously imagining herself with her mom in a different dimension.

Inuyasha couldn't help but hug her to him harder. She was crying into him like if her life depended on it. She was sorry, that could be smelled all over the room. She hadn't meant anything. But, it was out and words can never be taken back.

Eric was speechless as the tears streamed down his face. He couldn't believe the words, he wouldn't believe them. Kagome was his little girl, His little princess. She couldn't mean it. She wouldn't.

"Inuyasha give me my daughter" whispered Eric as the tears came streaming down his face even faster.

Inuyasha nodded.

"Kagome your dad is calling for you" he whispered in her ear.

Kagome shook her head; she couldn't face her father at the moment. She was to devastated she was lost for words.

"Inuyasha, please give me my daughter" pleaded Eric

"I can't, one, she still has her barrier up, second, she keeps telling me that she doesn't want to. She's scared and I'm the only one that can smell it because I'm in here!" said Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looked over at Miroku who was sitting quietly on the couch watching everything fold out the way it did.

"Help me" Inuyasha hissed at Miroku

"How; how can I help you? What can I do to help you Inuyasha?" glared Miroku.

"What do you want me to do little brother?

"Just help me; I can't get out of here. And she just fell asleep crying. She still is crying!" asked Inuyasha with pleading eyes.

"What can I do?" Miroku asked again getting irritated.

"I don't know!" Inuyasha sighed knowing that his brother would not show his appearance.

"Then neither do I"

Inuyasha then noticed that kikyo had slapped kagome; which meant that she knew how to get into the barrier.

"Kikyo please pull down the barrier." Inuyasha pleaded.

"Why should I? She deserves to drown in her own misery!" cried kikyo, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't take all the tension. Her miko powers were absorbing everything around her. At any minute she would collapse just like her sister.

"Please kikyo, just please" begged Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru was at the side watching all of this occur. He was surprised to say the least. He could smell through the barrier and found out what Inuyasha said was true. She was sorry and she hadn't meant anything she said, but what was said was said. His beast growled for him to go help his brother and the miko. His brother was in pain because even if he was half human he was also half demon, and his demon was being purified. He had no idea why he wanted to save the miko so bad but he did not question his beast at the moment.

"Kikyo he is in pain" warned Miroku

"Why?" asked kikyo with wide eyes

"Kagome is very strong, even if her powers are undeveloped they are responding to having Inuyasha in her barrier and since she is not awake her powers are taking him as a threat but also as a friend. That is why he is not dead yet. And when he dies the barrier will expand and kill every demon in this room... Which would mean my family!" said Miroku nervously as he watched his little brother squirm.

"Also miko, he is not dead because Inuyasha is only a half demon. So her powers are working against her. He is half human which would mean she has to save him. But her power can not see that she had to protect him from herself because she is asleep and frightened" stated Sesshomaru

Kikyo nodded seeing there dilemma.

"So I will take down the barrier. But be warned once I have taken it down I will also faint. I have no strength for this." Kikyo whispered as she prepared herself for the chant.

They all nodded understanding what she wanted.

"I will catch you, lady kikyo" said Miroku as he walked behind her.

"Monk I am being serious. I have a camera in here; once I wake up I will make sure to check it. If I see one perverted move on your part, I promise you I will purify your hands!" said kikyo as she started her chant to take kagome and Inuyasha out of the bubble of power.

"Inuyasha close your eyes. And make sure you don't open them until Miroku has me in his hands, which would mean that the barrier has fallen. Ok?" said kikyo

"Yeah, I got it."

It took kikyo 15 to take down the barrier as body also absorbed all the stress from inside the barrier and out. When she fainted she was pale white. And when Inuyasha opened his eyes with kagome in his arms, they all noticed that kagome wasn't even a normal color.

"What is wrong with my daughter?" cried Eric as he ran over to Inuyasha to take his daughter out of her hands.

"I don't know" whispered Inuyasha as his ears went flat on his ears. He couldn't hear her breathing and her heart rate was going down.

"She stopped breathing" stated Sesshomaru with a bored tone.

All eyes in the room narrowed on him.

"And you say that like it is such a good think! Mr. Sesshomaru" spat Eric

"Human" Sesshomaru growled "I said she couldn't breath, I never said she was dying you imbecile!"

Eric nodded his head as tears started streaming down his eyes. 'My baby, please don't leave me kagome, please don't leave daddy princess. I need you baby. I love you. I do love you, I'm sorry I was trying to force you.'" I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry. Please baby wake up. Say something to daddy. Please kagome, wake up, you can't leave me." Eric screamed

"Eric, please get up so that I can help her" said Miroku calmly

"No, you'll take her away from me! Just like they took my wife. You'll take her. I know you will." Cried Eric as his whole body started to shake.

"Eric, I will no take her. I promise. Just let me help her. She will die if you do not hand her over!" said Miroku firmly

"You promise?"

"I promise" Miroku said as he gave the man on the floor a reassuring smile.

"Ok"

Eric gave up his daughter hesitantly

Miroku took kagome and put her on the couch. He bent over to hr lips and breathed in air. She was choking on her own sorrow. He breathed in her sorrow, he kept up the process until the coloring in her in her cheeks turned to a deep red and her skin became its normal color. She began to stir and breath evenly again.

"I think it is time for us to go" stated Miroku tiredly. I was the first time he had used some of his power in front of a human and his family and he was very woozy. Kagome was feeling many emotions at the same time, and he had to help her breath by taking some of her sorrow, and Exhaling happiness from him. He was drained.

"Yes I do think that is for the best. I do not think Izayoi will find it very pleasing that Inuyasha is bruised at the neck and his arms and that father is unconscious" stated Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru was very angry that he wasn't the one to help the miko. He doesn't know why and he really does want to know. But he knew that his beast would not tell him no matter what he did. Sesshomaru hated that about his beast, when Sesshomaru needed him the most he would disappear. But when Sesshomaru had no need for him he would. He knew that from now on he would be watching the miko closely. He knew there was something mysterious about her and he wanted to know what it was.

"Inuyasha are you ok to walk?" asked Miroku with a tired voice

"Yes Miroku. Thank you. "Said Inuyasha with a tired sigh

"Well thank you Eric for your hospitality. And I hope we can pick this meeting up where we left it because there has to be a solution to this." Sesshomaru stated as he placed his father on his shoulder.

" I will see to it that this meeting be arranged at the office until further notice" said Eric not looking up at Sesshomaru, but rather looking straight at his two girls face.

"Hn"

As Sesshomaru left the Higurashi mansion, he couldn't help but feel a shiver go down his spine. He had a feeling that this fight would not be over very soon. He knew that there was terrible danger set for them. He felt it in his soul. All five of them had a lot to go through still. And this was the least of it, a speck in the ocean.
