A/N: Hopefully This chapter doesn't disappoint… I know where I'm trying to go with the story… just having a hell of a time figuring out the journey.

Puram (Onward)

Two weeks later

"Listen Kagome, I understand your desire to leave, but don't make any hasty decisions." Sango reasoned with the raven haired lawyer. If anyone knew first hand of the difficulties Kagome had endured under her own father's watch, it was Sango. She'd been on damage control duty many a night.

"Sango, you should know me better than to think I'd ever be ill prepared for any venture I undertake." Kagome defended while tapping absentmindedly on the lid of the green and white coffee cup sitting on her desk.

"Oh Kami!" Sango groaned, "You're starting to sound like that so called jerk of yours." Kagome met Sango's humor filled eyes before letting out a stifled giggle and saying, "So what if I am? - But honestly Sango, I've been doing quite a bit of research, and though I've got some… 'decent' offers from O&K and J&J among several other firms, they just don't sit right. I'm uncomfortable where I am, and likely to be miserable any place I go. I've learned from experience to trust my gut and it has been telling me to go. I thought that I'd be able to make my dreams a reality by working at my dad's firm."

Kagome paused her speech before continuing, "I came here because my dad was my hero growing up. I saw his compassion. I watched him develop this firm with noble intentions-" Emotion filled her voice as she conveyed her thoughts to her friend, "I wanted to be just like him. Work my way to the top and be his equal as we fought for what we thought was right."

"Well then… it seems there's at least one way to become his equal." Sango said.

"If- no, -when I finalize things to start my own firm… would you join me? I mean I won't be able to pay you as well as they do here but I'll do my best to make it worth your while. Eventually I'll be able to offer you a competitive salary once things pick up, -A-and your temp, a girl named Rin, I know you'd get along maybe I could convince her to join up, from what I hear she's getting certified as a paralegal, hell maybe I can convince her to go to law school…" Kagome continued to ramble.

"Yes, Kagome." Sango said softly.

"And I just know we could do some really great things!" Kagome continued.

"KAGS!" Sango yelled as Kagome blinked.

"I said yes. Just let me know what you need to get things running. I'm behind you 100 percent of the way." She finished.

"I promise you won't regret it San! I swear." Kagome said, appreciation evident in her voice.

"I better not!" Sango laughed.

….

The well-built inuyoukai stood in the center of the dojo, muscles glistening in sweat as he took in gulps of air while standing across from his opponent.

"Looks like Sir Jack ass is getting out of shape." Inuyasha called out mockingly, kendo stick held firmly in his grasp.

Sesshoumaru maintained his cool as he steadied his breathing. Inuyasha was a hot headed individual, driven by his emotions as was evidenced by his fighting style.

"Dear brother, unlike you I am not a simpleton. I don't get riled up by petty insults." Sesshoumaru smirked as he watched Inuyasha's aggression display on his face.

"Fuck you, you bastard!" Inuyasha screamed.

"I'm afraid you've mistaken me for yourself, as father was mated to my mother." Sesshoumaru knew it was a low blow but it had the desired result. He braced himself as the hanyou came rushing toward him with the bamboo sword above his head. Easily avoiding the dog eared man with a side step he brought his own practice sword into the half-breed's stomach.

"You lose again Inuyasha."

"Keh!" Inuyasha muttered collapsing to the ground.

"So what's going on with you and that lawyer chick you decided to tell all your business to? I must say it's unlike you."

"Hn." Sesshoumaru acknowledged before speaking, "I intend to introduce her to father. She- we- I…"

"Well I'll be damned, I never thought I'd see the day that this son-of-a-bitch would be at a loss for words." Inuyasha laughed as he spoke to the empty space next to him.

"And I never thought I'd see the day that your delusions led you to create imaginary friends." As Sesshoumaru finished his sentence he noticed Inuyasha's kendo sword sailing toward his head and plucked it gracefully from the air before it could reach his person.

"I wanna meet her first." His half-brother grunted.

"And what makes you feel you are entitled to this privilege?" Sesshoumaru asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Keh." The doe eyed dog man folded his arms across his chest as he mumbled something or the other under his breath about having thought them being brothers would be enough to include him.

"I'll think about it and let you know." Sesshoumaru said as he rose to his feet and proceeded out of the dojo.

Left to his own devices he began pondering how Kagome would react to being ingratiated into the world of youkai… his world

….

Kagome screamed in pleasure as her inuyoukai rammed his rigid flesh into her trembling sheath. "I'm gonna cum Sesshou-!"

Sesshoumaru continued his thrusts, encouraged by her blunt nails digging into his back. His woman's legs wrapped tighter around his waist in an effort to suck him in and he groaned in pleasure.

"Kami Kagome... you're so -tight." He growled out.

"I love it when you lose control. I want you to fuck me harder Sesshoumaru." She half whispered and half groaned seductively in his ear.

Upon her lust filled words he flipped her over on her knees and began to take her aggressively. He smiled in satisfaction upon hearing her screams.

Kagome struggled to stay propped on her forearms, but could not take it. She rested her head into the mattress angling her ass and forming an acute angle to give her talented lover better access to her sinful treasure.

"Oh GODS YES! It hurts so good!" Sesshoumaru felt his fangs lengthen as his vision blurred. A red haze filled his vision and as his orgasm surfaced it took all his might to regain his control.

"Shit! I'm cumming again Sess!" His wanton cerulean eyed beauty screamed. He loved it when she was vulgar.

His orgasm was intense. Her submissive position caused his beast to stir from his slumber and he found himself incredibly satisfied being buried in her secret garden. He didn't want to ever leave.

Forcing his lover into a spooning position he ran his claws gently up and down her arm.

"You never cease to amaze me." She whispered tiredly.

"I never intend to stop amazing you." He said confidently before continuing. "I met with my sibling today. He'd like to meet the human that I've become so infatuated with…"

Kagome sat in silence for a while before shifting her body to meet his eyes. "Do you want to introduce us?"

"I wouldn't have brought it up if I were opposed to the idea." He spoke seriously and the object of his affection smiled.

"I'd love to meet your brother Sesshoumaru." She lifted herself so she could capture his lips with her own.

"Have you thought about my offer for joining me with starting our own practice?" Kagome questioned.

"I have." He said tensely. "Well?" She prodded.

"I will support you in any way that I can. We work well together… in more ways than one I must admit." Sesshoumaru finished and buried his nose into her silky mane.

…

A/N: A little brotherly love… I figured this chapter would be a decent way to begin introducing youkai into the story so we can lead into some of the mysteries behind what Kohaku saw the night of his parent's death.
