Brandon's purpose for being there is revieled. (The title of this chapter came to me while listening to a Metallica song of the same name)

Excerpt:

Inuyasha snarled at Brandon as he helped him to his feet. They had been working together for a month and while Inuyasha was progressing quite quickly, the two of them were far from friends.

�Snarl at me all you want, the only reason why I�ve helped you this long is because of Kagome.� Brandon said.

“Kagome?” Brandon said, a smile lighting his features. “How the hell are you?”

Kagome resisted the urge to tell him exactly how she was feeling at that particular moment. “What the hell are you doing here?” She asked, noticing that Inuyasha had moved closer to her.

“I got a job here not long after I graduated.” Brandon told her.

Kagome frowned and allowed Inuyasha to lay a protective arm on her hip. “I thought you were going to work in a clinic in New York.”

Brandon had a degree in physio and rehabilitation therapy. He had often joked that he signed up for the class that he had shared with Kagome because of some kind of divine intervention. He had had plans to start off in a clinic close to home and eventually open his own. She had a sneaking suspicion there was more to his being there then he was leading on.

“I was, but one of my professors sent out my resume to different hospitals all over the place. I took Japanese while I was in high school and college.” He explained. “It's strange seeing you here. How do you know my patient?”

“She's mine!” Inuyasha snarled.

Kagome had to fight the grin that threatened to appear on her face. “Inuyasha is my fiancée, well, my mate.” Kagome told Brandon. “I had to put concealment spells on all my pictures of him. I didn't realize you believed in Youkai.”

“I didn't at first.” Brandon said stepping closer. “It came as a real shock in my final year.”

“I don't doubt it.” Kagome said while Inuyasha continued to snarl. “You stop that, he's here to help you.”

Inuyasha snorted and looked away. “Feh.”

Kagome rolled her eyes. “Well I'll leave you two to your work.” Kagome kissed the top of Inuyasha's head.

She gasped when he caught her roughly and pulled her back for a fierce, heady kiss. “Come back?” He asked.

Kagome took a minute to blink away the lust filled haze of her mind. “Yeah I'll be back later.” She promised. “Brandon, it was good seeing you again.”

The two men watched Kagome walk out of the room and Brandon turned back to Inuyasha, a tight smile on his face. “Well let's get working.”

Inuyasha snarled at Brandon as he helped him to his feet. They had been working together for a month and while Inuyasha was progressing quite quickly, the two of them were far from friends.

“Snarl at me all you want, the only reason why I've helped you this long is because of Kagome.” Brandon said.

Inuyasha snarled and pushed himself away from Brandon, going through his exercises while the doctors watched. “Leave her out of this.”

Brandon smirked and rubbed his chin in thought. “You know, it kind of surprises me that she's with you. I had hoped that email I sent you would make you guys break up.” He eyed the Hanyou as he walked back towards him. “In fact, I noticed that you two are lacking mate marks now, of course she never called it that, she just said it was a tattoo.”

Inuyasha glared at the man in front of him. Of course he wasn't saying anything that Inuyasha himself hadn't already thought about. He couldn't figure out why neither of them had a mark. He knew by instinct that they were mates and had consummated more than once, he just couldn't remember any of it. Some of it came back to him in dreams, but it was hazy like trying to remember a night after drinking too much. He sighed and glanced at the window, the doctors were gone now, apparently pleased with his progress.

“I've always wondered if Kagome is a good fuck.” Brandon said, snapping Inuyasha out of his thoughts. “I mean with legs like those wrapped around you…”

He didn't finish his sentence. Memories flooded back to Inuyasha. An email signed in Kagome's name, but not written at all like her. The fight at Sesshomaru's place. Even Brandon's face was familiar. That's when Inuyasha snapped.

With a vicious snarl, Inuyasha reached back and threw a heavy punch at Brandon. Every memory of seeing Brandon touch Kagome when he went to visit her, every complaint of Kagome's about the guy who never got the hint, even the tense body language the first time they saw him. His anger increased with every hit.

A startled gasp made him spin around as Kagome stood, wide eyed with Shippou in her arms. Inuyasha released Brandon, letting the unconscious male fall to the ground. He stalked over to where Kagome stood, and she instinctively turned her head to the side, showing her submissiveness to his Youkai.

With a soft growl he pulled her close, inhaling her scent deeply. When he was satisfied that no other male had touched her, aside from her family members, he licked the skin of her throat.

“Mine.” He growled before storming out of the room.

Shippou stared up at Kagome in shock. “What was all that about?”

Kagome continued to stare at the bloody mess that was Brandon, before turning to find a nurse or a doctor to help him. She found a crane Youkai nurse standing by an elevator and gently touched the female's arm.

“Excuse me,” Kagome said softly, making the Youkai turn. “One of the Physio-Therapists, Brandon, he's kind of unconscious.”

The crane Youkai arched a delicate eyebrow and followed Kagome back to the room. “Well, looks like he finally managed to piss of that Hanyou enough.” She said; the amusement clear in her voice.

Kagome gave the crane a questioning look as she made her way to the unconscious human. “What do you mean?”

“He's been egging him on.” The Youkai told her. “Saying crude things about you actually. Doesn't surprise me he ended up like this. He'll have to go through some Youkai/Hanyou/Human relation courses after this if he plans to keep his job.”

Kagome smirked and hugged Shippou to her as she exited the room. “Kagome, I'm still confused.”

Kagome glanced down at the kit, a small smile on her face. “Don't worry Shippou; I think that this means that Inuyasha and I can finally move on together.”

AN: This chapter is going up early because Inuyasha hitting Brandon is exactly what I would love to do to my assistant store manager right now. Pardon my little rant that I'm about to go on, but I'm shaking I'm so mad.

I've never despised someone so much in my life. I call in friggen 5 hours before my shift starts to tell them what I told them last night. I can't get an earlier appointment at my fucking dentist for my fucking tooth ache. All I get is "You call in sick way to much". Yeah too bad that every time I've called in sick, the past few months...which is like three times, all because of strep throat and bronchitis, I've been able to provide sick notes, which just proves that I'm one of those people who calls in because *gasp* I'M ACTUALLY SICK! I am soooooo glad that I quit there, if I hadn't then my God I would have just now. Yeah let's stick you on a till when you can barely move your jaw. Stupid fucker...I hate that man sooooooooo much.

In case any of you are curious as to what Brandon would look like, I basically have an image of Joaquin Phoenix in my mind. If you want to take a look or you don't know who he is…then check here:

Anyway thank you all so much for all the reviews. It took me like 3 times as long to get the reviews I did for I'm On The Outside, and this story has surpassed that! I'm glad you are all enjoying it that much.

Also, I have a small request. I'm supposed to be going on a trip and my Aunt might not have her Internet back up yet, so if you guys could send me some story recommendations that I can save to a disk so I can at least read some to keep me entertained. Thanks!!!
