Chapter IX: 2 Steps Back
InuYasha was spread eagle along his small bed. Feet, arms, and legs dangled, not being able to fill the young man's full height and weight. "Does she care for me?" InuYasha asked himself. He always knew that he was destined to be alone ever since he was a little kid, but Rin gave him the feeling that maybe it wasn't so. "But does she really care for me?" He asked himself again. Could she have feelings for a junkie like me. InuYasha threw his legs over the bed and sighed. He hung his head down as he placed his elbows on his knees letting his forearms and hands dangle between his thighs. InuYasha looked over to his dresser. Was he suppose to be doing this? Was this the way? "The only way." He told himself as he opened the drawer and pulled out a worn out leather belt.
=*=*=*=*=
Rin walked into the clinic this morning set on making it up to InuYasha. He deserved it. InuYasha was always critisized all of his life. His father told him he was nothing and his big brother didn't help with that much. She decided before she went to InuYasha's room she decided to pay a visit to Sesshomaru. Rin walked in and saw the stoic doctor looking at an old photo. She couldn't see what exactly he was looking at, but it must have been something since his eyes were full of emotion.
"Sesshomaru." Rin said softly.
Sesshomaru snapped his head up to see the petite doctor infront of him. "Rin, you're early." He said, voice clearly emotional.
"Yeah, I have a lot of work to do. I'll...see you later." She said as she proceeded to close the door.
"Rin, wait!" He said.
She held open the door and looked the doctor. "Yes." She answered.
"I'm sorry for anything that I have done to...hurt you."
"I'm not the one you should be saying sorry to." She said as she closed the door and left towards InuYasha's room.
Sesshomaru sighed and looked upon a picture with him and his little baby brother.
He sat there for minute before deciding to go pay a much needed visit to his brother.
=*=*=*=*=
InuYasha sat on the small bed in his room, his back against the wall that held the nude pictures of women. He reveled at the feel the rush, the pleasure that coursed his body for the few seconds that it did. Once, the rush quickly weared off, his head lulled back against the white painted wall. His eyes glazing over a bit as they leaked out hot tears that slowly burned a trail down his cheek. This wasn't the life for him, but how could he stop? How could he pull back when he was so far in?
"InuYasha, are you okay?"
InuYasha slowly looked up and quickly pulled down the sleeve of his sweater when he realized it as somebody. "W..what are you doing here?"
"I came to apologize." Rin said as she walked over and sat next to him. "I think that I should've stood up for you and Sesshomaru shouldn't have been so cruel..." Rin stopped as she watched InuYasha eyelids closing. "InuYasha?"
He quickly opened his eyes. "What?"
"Are you listening?"
"Of course." He said as he languidly draped an arm around Rin's shoulder and brought her closer. "That's enough talking, Rin. I get it already." He titled his head slightly and lightly kissed her soft on the lips.
"You're sure?" She said after he pulled back.
He nodded his head as he dove in for another kiss. This time more aggressive, more dominant, forcing his tongue in her mouth.
Rin groaned as she pushed him away. "InuYasha, I have to get to work, but we can finish this later." She said as she scooted off the bed.
InuYasha grabbed her red burned wrists and pulled her back and kissed her desperately. "How about now?" He said as he pushed her back on the bed and used his massive body weight to hold her petite shape down. He looked at her white blouse and black skirt with hungry eyes.
"InuYasha, come on. Let me go." Rin said not fully aware of InuYasha's state. She was like the sheep and he was the wolf readying itself to devour.
He traced his hand over her face then trailed it down to her collar bone then he began to unbutton her blouse.
Rin motioned his hands away and he swatted them back. She tried to get loose of his hold. "InuYasha, I'm serious. Stop!" Once she realized he wasn't listening nor giving in to her pleas, she began to get paranoid as flashbacks of her father's evil, menacing smirk replaced InuYasha's face. She began to thrash and kick trying to get away.
He ripped her blouse off then her white bra and Rin screamed as she arched her back off the small bed to get him off of her. Tears sprang from her eyes as started to sob and cry for him to stop as he unbuckled his pants.....
=*=*=*=*=
Sesshomaru walked pass the white doors towards InuYasha's room. 'I guess I took this vindictive attitude against InuYasha too far. Rin was right. He DOES have feelings and I have been an asshole.' Sesshomaru thoughts were interrupted by desperate screams. He quickened his pace until the screams got louder and he started running, his feet made hard noise as they quickly hit the floor white floor. He stopped his pace when he heard that the screams were coming from his brothers room. He lifted his foot and kicked it open revealing InuYasha's pants hanging down and Rin topless under him trying to break free. Nothing but pure anger coursed his veins and in two quick flashes Sesshomaru had InuYasha pinned against the wall, gripping his neck. "What the fuck are you thinking?" He said low and viciously.
"What you always that I would do?" He said slowly and saplessly.
Sesshomaru growled as he used his free hand and slugged InuYasha harshly against his jaw watching as his body fell limply to the floor. "You're nothing but scum and a disgrace to the Taisho name." He said then he kicked him. He looked at his unconscious brother then over to Rin who was balled up into a fetal position crying.
Sesshomaru quickly picked her up bridal style "It's going to be alright." He said and walked out of the room and down the hall speaking soothing words of comfort into her ears to calm her and to stop her cries. He held her closer as her body shook like a feeble leaf in fall.
Once Sesshomaru reached his office, he laid her on the small couch that was placed conviently in his office. He kneld down next to her and tried to look into her eyes and could only wonder the pain that was held within them. He clenched his fist and cursed himself for ever believing a thing that came out his brother's throat. To him, InuYasha was nothing but a lying heroin addict with no morals and no soul. 'And to think I came to break bread with him.' He stopped his thoughts as he tried to concentrate on mending Rin's broken soul. "Rin?" He addressed as he rubbed her bare back trying to comfort her.
She slowly turned to look into the amber eyes of her hero. She know knew that Sesshomaru was all what she thought he would be. Her knight. Rin sprang forth onto Sesshomaru, suprising him as he fell back onto his haunches. "Thank you." Rin whispered against his ear.
Sesshomaru sighed as he wrapped his arms around her petite form and held her closely to his frame. The door opened and both looked to see Kagome standing in the doorway holding a manilla folder. "Sess, I have the report on...." The folders fell freely, spilling out the contents. Kagome's eyes widened and her mouth gaped open wide enough to catch flies.
Rin pulled out of the embrace revealing that she was indeed topless and Kagome blushed brightly at catching the two doing God knows what. She tried to speak, but nothing came out.
"Ms. Kagome." He looked at Rin and blushed himself. Then he looked back at Kagome. "It's not as it appears."
"Oh, yeah. There are millions of explainations of why you're hugging Rin who obviously doesn't have a shirt."
"Sesshomaru's right, Kagome. It really isn't what that way." Rin said trying to interject and save face for her and Sesshomaru. It was really was a bad scene that would most likely get her fired if it got out to officials or worse...Sesshomaru's father.
"Yeah, right. This is what you always wanted, huh? Well, enjoy and fuck you. " Kagome said as she harshly shut the door leaving the room hollow and quiet.

Breaths and moans escaped his lips. His hands stroking the center of his pleasure. His eyes closed for a moment then focused on the paper that was securely placed in his hands. Beads of sweats emerged from his forehead as the burn of the pleasure flowed through his body like hot molten lava. He could feel the climax rising up through him like a rockert. He reached for it as he hissed and breathed heavily. Suddenly, his body thrashed and spasmed as the white creamy substance spurted from his member and dripped down his knuckles.
Miroku breathed deeply trying to regain his composure before fatigue quickly draped over him as he threw his body back onto his bed. He placed the paper on the small nightstand next to the clock that was in his room. He looked at the ceiling as he felt the guilt wash over him. "Lord help me." He whispered as his heaviness of his eyes took over and they closed before they released a tear. Nothing was heard but soft snores and the blinking of the digital clock next to the small picture of a seven year old girl.

White heels emerged from the silver BMW. Long, creamy silk legs glistened from the bright afternoon sunlight that peaked from the cotton candy clouds. The clicks of the heels were the only thing heard throughout the parking lot before they reached the door. The raven haired woman exuded nothing but elegance in her simple white sundress that accentuated the womanly curves that could only come with age. She glided through the door as the cool central air hit her face and made her long tresses blow at bit. She walked into the office that read Sesshomaru Taisho and saw her son-in-law work diligently on whatever he was doing.
"Sesshie baby." She cooed.
Once Sesshomaru heard the voice he shuddered to think that was it was real. When he looked up cursed the fact that it was. Izayoi Taisho in the flesh stood there looking nothing but a beauty queen even though she was well over her prime. "Izayoi, how are you?" He said standing up to welcome here. Even though she was annoying in every way he still had his manners.
She bowed slightly before she sat down in the cushioned seat across from him. Once she was comfortly seated Sesshomaru sat down himself. Izayoi smiled at the boys kindness and chivalry. "How is my Sesshie baby." She said again using the 'oh so' sugary sweet nickname that Sesshomaru hated to the fullest.
"I'm fine, Izayoi. So, how's life been treating you?"
Izayoi looked away and sucked up the upcoming tears. "Oh, just fine. Thanks for asking, Sesshie." She said expertly covering the despair in her voice.
Sesshomaru noticed the sadness that washed over her face like a quick shadow. Maybe he was seeing things. "What brings you?" Sesshomaru asked knowing that her 'precious Yashie' was the only reason of unexpected arrival.
She again sucked up her tears"You know my precious Yashie is why I came?" She said as she crossed her legs in such a refined manner.
Sesshomaru sat there and wondered how such a elegant woman could give birth to such a monster. He inwardly chuckled at the irony. "He's in the cafeteria. Most likely gambling with the others." Sesshomaru said dismissively.
A small knock was heard on the hard wood of the door. "Come in." Sesshomaru said.
Rin walked in with her coat and bag obviously getting ready to leave for lunch. Her eyes darted to her favorite Taisho in the whole world and all excitement rushed to her. "Ms. Izzy!" Rin squeaked as she ran over to the finely aged woman.
"Rinnie." Izayoi said as she got up gave her a whole heartedly hug.
Rin smiled at the nicknames that she was always able to give everybody. "You look great as always, Ms. Izzy." Rin said after escaping from the hug and looked her over.
"Oh, hush. You're the one with a figure to die for." Izayoi said. "I always thought that you would make a perfect wife for Sesshomaru." She looked over to her son-in-law.
Sesshomaru chocked on his own air when he heard the words fly out of Izayoi's mouth.
"Th...that's hardly the case and...." He stammered.
"Well, what brings you?" Rin said trying to save Sesshomaru embarrasingly blabbering self.
"You know I'm here to see my Yash." She said. Rin faced dropped ten fold and it didn't go hiden to Izayoi's eyes. "What? Has my baby been a good boy?" She said in a worried tone.
"Well..." Rin said looking over to Sesshomaru who was shaking his head.
"I worry for him, you know. I mean it's his second time here and I just want him to recover and be my Yashie baby again." The worried mother said as tears threatened to flow.
"No, Ms. Izzy. InuYasha's been good." Rin said trying to cover the unhappiness in her voice.
In an instant, a smile graced the womans face and you'd never know she was on the brink of tears. "That's wonderful." She said as she clapped her hands together. "Well, I better go visit him. It was so nice seeing you, sweetheart." Izayoi said as she kissed Rin's cheek cupped her face. "Such a lovely girl." She said before exiting the room.
Rin and Sesshomaru both watched as the woman gracefully glided out the door. "She's such a nice woman." Rin said.
"She's a nutjob if you ask me." Sesshomaru said even though he loved the woman as his own mother since his mother was such a malicious woman. "So, what did you come here to tell me." He said stacking the papers he was working on deciding on giving up after the interruption.
"I just came to tell you thank you and sorry for my outburst the other day." Rin said setting down the heavy blue bag that was killing her arms.
"Oh, no need to thank me. I just hope that you're alright."
"I'm fine now, I guess. I just trusted him, you know. I thought InuYasha was the only person that wouldn't hurt me." Rin said then took a huge breath to lock in the tears.
Sesshomaru belted out a chuckle so shallow it couldn't hold any humor. "That's funny to think that of a heroin addict."
"He's in recovery." Rin defended.
"He was in 'recovery' three years ago. Rin, why can't you see that putting your trust into him is only going to let you down and hurt you more? You of all people should know that."
Rin nodded her head. "I guess you're right, but I'm not you, Sesshomaru. I can't just let people go so easily."
"Trust me, it'll save you a lot of heartache." Sesshomaru said as flashbacks of his mother entered his head. He quickly shook it off before trouble could arisen itself. "So, I see you're going to lunch." He said changing the uncomfortably touchy subject.
"Yeah, I'm heading out to Mario's."
Sesshomaru got up and straightened out his gray pinstripe suit. "You wouldn't mind if I tag along would you."
Rin grinned from ear to ear then shook her head. "No, I wouldn't mind."
Sesshomaru walked around the desk and grabbed her heavy blue bag. "What in God's name do you carry in there." He said throwing it on a chair.
"Just my life." She said with a smile.
Sesshomaru reached out for her hand clasped it in his own, drowning her petite one in his. Rin couldn't help but blush and feel all tingly inside like she was in elementary.
"You ready?" He said.
"Mmm Hmm." Rin said nodding her head.
"Let's proceed then."
=*=*=*=*=
"That's my book!" Kouga yelled as he grabbed the two cards from the grips of his wife.
"InuYasha, why won't you tell him that it's our book." Ayame whined. InuYasha looked distantly into his cards not paying much attention to the game of spades that was being played.
"I 'on care what dogface has to say about it You reneged. It's my book. End of story." Kouga said defiantly. "See this is why women shouldn't be in the game."
"Kouga, just let them have the book." Miroku, Kouga's teammate, said.
"What? Now you're reneging. Damn, everybody's against me. Yo, dogboy, are you hearing this?" InuYasha still distantly looked off into his hand. "Yash?!"
InuYasha snapped his head up. "Huh?"
"You hear this crap that the wife and the monk is giving me." Kouga said.
"I am not a monk."
Kouga waved his hand, ignoring him. "Yeah, whatever, monk. Yo, InuYasha?"
InuYasha slowly looked up. "Yeah. what?" He said.
"You okay, man. You seem off or something." Kouga said gathering the cards for a new game.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ayame squeaked.
"I'm starting a new game. Got a problem with it?"
"Of course I do. When we start winning you want to start a new game. That is so like you, Kouga."
"Whatever, Yame. You're the one cheating with all that reneging."
"InuYasha tell him he's cheating." Ayame whined again.
"Just let him deal again. I forgot what we were playing anyway." InuYasha said giving Kouga his hand.
"We were playing spades and you probably would've won with a hand like this." Kouga said looking at the two jokers, kings, and queens that filled his hand. "Too late now." He said as she shoved the cards into the deck.
"Whatever." InuYasha said laying his chin in his hand. He felt so low. Lower than the dirt and the fossils under it. How could she love him now? How could he love himself? 'I'm such an asshole.' He thought. 'As soon as I get to my room...' 'But that's what got you in the predicament in the first place.' His conscious battled with him.
"Yo, Yash?" Kouga addressed.
InuYasha snapped out of his thoughts. "What?"
"Cut the damn deck, man." Kouga said. "Yo, Yash, you really out of it today. Your pretty little doctor break your heart or something." He joked.
"Shut the fuck up, man." InuYasha said as he cut the deck.
"InuYasha Taisho, how dare you use that language!" A voice screeched.
InuYasha ears flatened against his head and grimaced at the sound that could be the one and only.... "Momma?" He said turning his head.
She stomped towards him. "Who else would it be?" She grabbed the furry appendages of his head. "And I don't want you using such nasty profanity ever again."
"Alright, mom. Just let go of my ear." He said twisting in pain.
She let his ear go and scorned him before a smile broadened her face like she wasn't angry just seconds ago. "Stand up so I can get a good look at you." She said.
InuYasha hestiantly stood up. Izayoi looked him over and frowned. "Good lord, Yashie. You are as skinny as a beanpole. Are they feeding you in here? I'll have to speak with Sess about this."
"I'm fine, ma." InuYasha said fragilely
"Well, that's great."
"Ma, what are you doing here?" InuYasha asked wondering of his mother's presence.
Izayoi looked down then looked back at InuYasha with sorrow in her eyes. "Well....sweetheart."
"Ma?" He asked placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Well, you're father's has been cheating on me with Sesshomaru's mom." Izayoi sobbed as she cried into the chest of her son.
InuYasha sighed long and hard as he wrapped an arm around his mother. He always knew this day would come and wondered why his mother took so long to realize what was in front of her eyes. His mother was incredibly annoying, but she was his mother and he felt sorry that she married the scum of the earth. "It's alright, ma. I'm here for you."
A/n: Took me long enough. I know this chapter is a bit confusing, but so many ideas came to my head and I didn't know how to place it.

Rin walked into the clinic this morning set on making it up to InuYasha. He deserved it. InuYasha was always critisized all of his life. His father told him he was nothing and his big brother didn't help with that much. She decided before she went to InuYasha's room she decided to pay a visit to Sesshomaru.

"I'm sorry for anything that I have done to...hurt you."
"I'm not the one you should be saying sorry to." She said as she closed the door and left towards InuYasha's room.
Sesshomaru sighed and looked upon a picture with him and his little baby brother.
He sat there for minute before deciding to go pay a much needed visit to his brother.
=*=*=*=*=
InuYasha sat on the small bed in his room, his back against the wall that held the nude pictures of women. He reveled at the feel the rush, the pleasure that coursed his body for the few seconds that it did. Once, the rush quickly weared off, his head lulled back against the white painted wall. His eyes glazing over a bit as they leaked out hot tears that slowly burned a trail down his cheek. This wasn't the life for him, but how could he stop? How could he pull back when he was so far in?
"InuYasha, are you okay?"
InuYasha slowly looked up and quickly pulled down the sleeve of his sweater when he realized it as somebody. "W..what are you doing here?"
"I came to apologize." Rin said as she walked over and sat next to him. "I think that I should've stood up for you and Sesshomaru shouldn't have been so cruel..." Rin stopped as she watched InuYasha eyelids closing. "InuYasha?"
He quickly opened his eyes. "What?"
"Are you listening?"
"Of course." He said as he languidly draped an arm around Rin's shoulder and brought her closer. "That's enough talking, Rin. I get it already." He titled his head slightly and lightly kissed her soft on the lips.
"You're sure?" She said after he pulled back.
He nodded his head as he dove in for another kiss. This time more aggressive, more dominant, forcing his tongue in her mouth.
Rin groaned as she pushed him away. "InuYasha, I have to get to work, but we can finish this later." She said as she scooted off the bed.

=*=*=*=*=
Sesshomaru walked pass the white doors towards InuYasha's room. 'I guess I took this vindictive attitude against InuYasha too far. Rin was right. He DOES have feelings and I have been an asshole.' Sesshomaru thoughts were interrupted by desperate screams. He quickened his pace until the screams got louder and he started running, his feet made hard noise as they quickly hit the floor white floor. He stopped his pace when he heard that the screams were coming from his brothers room. He lifted his foot and kicked it open revealing InuYasha's pants hanging down and Rin topless under him trying to break free.

"Ms. Kagome." He looked at Rin and blushed himself. Then he looked back at Kagome. "It's not as it appears."
"Oh, yeah. There are millions of explainations of why you're hugging Rin who obviously doesn't have a shirt."
"Sesshomaru's right, Kagome. It really isn't what that way." Rin said trying to interject and save face for her and Sesshomaru. It was really was a bad scene that would most likely get her fired if it got out to officials or worse...Sesshomaru's father.
"Yeah, right. This is what you always wanted, huh? Well, enjoy and fuck you. " Kagome said as she harshly shut the door leaving the room hollow and quiet.

"Oh, hush. You're the one with a figure to die for." Izayoi said. "I always thought that you would make a perfect wife for Sesshomaru." She looked over to her son-in-law.
Sesshomaru chocked on his own air when he heard the words fly out of Izayoi's mouth.

"Well..." Rin said looking over to Sesshomaru who was shaking his head.
"I worry for him, you know. I mean it's his second time here and I just want him to recover and be my Yashie baby again." The worried mother said as tears threatened to flow.
"No, Ms. Izzy. InuYasha's been good." Rin said trying to cover the unhappiness in her voice.
In an instant, a smile graced the womans face and you'd never know she was on the brink of tears. "That's wonderful." She said as she clapped her hands together. "Well, I better go visit him. It was so nice seeing you, sweetheart." Izayoi said as she kissed Rin's cheek cupped her face. "Such a lovely girl." She said before exiting the room.
Rin and Sesshomaru both watched as the woman gracefully glided out the door. "She's such a nice woman." Rin said.
"She's a nutjob if you ask me." Sesshomaru said even though he loved the woman as his own mother since his mother was such a malicious woman. "So, what did you come here to tell me." He said stacking the papers he was working on deciding on giving up after the interruption.
"I just came to tell you thank you and sorry for my outburst the other day." Rin said setting down the heavy blue bag that was killing her arms.
"Oh, no need to thank me. I just hope that you're alright."
"I'm fine now, I guess. I just trusted him, you know. I thought InuYasha was the only person that wouldn't hurt me." Rin said then took a huge breath to lock in the tears.
Sesshomaru belted out a chuckle so shallow it couldn't hold any humor. "That's funny to think that of a heroin addict."
"He's in recovery." Rin defended.
"He was in 'recovery' three years ago. Rin, why can't you see that putting your trust into him is only going to let you down and hurt you more? You of all people should know that."
Rin nodded her head. "I guess you're right, but I'm not you, Sesshomaru. I can't just let people go so easily."
"Trust me, it'll save you a lot of heartache." Sesshomaru said as flashbacks of his mother entered his head. He quickly shook it off before trouble could arisen itself. "So, I see you're going to lunch." He said changing the uncomfortably touchy subject.
"Yeah, I'm heading out to Mario's."
Sesshomaru got up and straightened out his gray pinstripe suit. "You wouldn't mind if I tag along would you."
Rin grinned from ear to ear then shook her head. "No, I wouldn't mind."
Sesshomaru walked around the desk and grabbed her heavy blue bag. "What in God's name do you carry in there." He said throwing it on a chair.
"Just my life." She said with a smile.
Sesshomaru reached out for her hand clasped it in his own, drowning her petite one in his. Rin couldn't help but blush and feel all tingly inside like she was in elementary.
"You ready?" He said.
"Mmm Hmm." Rin said nodding her head.
"Let's proceed then."

"That's my book!" Kouga yelled as he grabbed the two cards from the grips of his wife.
"InuYasha, why won't you tell him that it's our book." Ayame whined. InuYasha looked distantly into his cards not paying much attention to the game of spades that was being played.
"I 'on care what dogface has to say about it You reneged. It's my book. End of story." Kouga said defiantly. "See this is why women shouldn't be in the game."
"Kouga, just let them have the book." Miroku, Kouga's teammate, said.
"What? Now you're reneging. Damn, everybody's against me. Yo, dogboy, are you hearing this?" InuYasha still distantly looked off into his hand. "Yash?!"
InuYasha snapped his head up. "Huh?"
"You hear this crap that the wife and the monk is giving me." Kouga said.
"I am not a monk."
Kouga waved his hand, ignoring him. "Yeah, whatever, monk. Yo, InuYasha?"
InuYasha slowly looked up. "Yeah. what?" He said.
"You okay, man. You seem off or something." Kouga said gathering the cards for a new game.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ayame squeaked.
"I'm starting a new game. Got a problem with it?"
"Of course I do. When we start winning you want to start a new game. That is so like you, Kouga."
"Whatever, Yame. You're the one cheating with all that reneging."
"InuYasha tell him he's cheating." Ayame whined again.
"Just let him deal again. I forgot what we were playing anyway." InuYasha said giving Kouga his hand.
"We were playing spades and you probably would've won with a hand like this." Kouga said looking at the two jokers, kings, and queens that filled his hand. "Too late now." He said as she shoved the cards into the deck.
"Whatever." InuYasha said laying his chin in his hand. He felt so low. Lower than the dirt and the fossils under it. How could she love him now? How could he love himself? 'I'm such an asshole.' He thought. 'As soon as I get to my room...' 'But that's what got you in the predicament in the first place.' His conscious battled with him.
"Yo, Yash?" Kouga addressed.
InuYasha snapped out of his thoughts. "What?"
"Cut the damn deck, man." Kouga said. "Yo, Yash, you really out of it today. Your pretty little doctor break your heart or something." He joked.
"Shut the fuck up, man." InuYasha said as he cut the deck.
"InuYasha Taisho, how dare you use that language!" A voice screeched.
InuYasha ears flatened against his head and grimaced at the sound that could be the one and only.... "Momma?" He said turning his head.
She stomped towards him. "Who else would it be?" She grabbed the furry appendages of his head. "And I don't want you using such nasty profanity ever again."
"Alright, mom. Just let go of my ear." He said twisting in pain.
She let his ear go and scorned him before a smile broadened her face like she wasn't angry just seconds ago. "Stand up so I can get a good look at you." She said.
InuYasha hestiantly stood up. Izayoi looked him over and frowned. "Good lord, Yashie. You are as skinny as a beanpole. Are they feeding you in here? I'll have to speak with Sess about this."
"I'm fine, ma." InuYasha said fragilely
"Well, that's great."
"Ma, what are you doing here?" InuYasha asked wondering of his mother's presence.
Izayoi looked down then looked back at InuYasha with sorrow in her eyes. "Well....sweetheart."
"Ma?" He asked placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Well, you're father's has been cheating on me with Sesshomaru's mom." Izayoi sobbed as she cried into the chest of her son.
InuYasha sighed long and hard as he wrapped an arm around his mother. He always knew this day would come and wondered why his mother took so long to realize what was in front of her eyes. His mother was incredibly annoying, but she was his mother and he felt sorry that she married the scum of the earth. "It's alright, ma. I'm here for you."
A/n: Took me long enough. I know this chapter is a bit confusing, but so many ideas came to my head and I didn't know how to place it.
