Standing in the lobby of his apartment building, Kagome told the woman at the desk both of their names, so that she could obtain permission to send her up. After taking in Kagome's disheveled appearance and spotty make-up, the woman eyed her suspiciously and told her that she could take the elevator at the end of the hall. Kagome didn't need directions, for she had been in the apartment before. But not for the reasons her Yasha now thought she had, but because she genuinely was trying to get the brothers together. “At least, that's how it started. I should have just been honest about meeting with Sesshoumaru from the beginning and maybe it wouldn't have escalated into...”

She was unable to complete her thought for as soon as she stepped off the elevator, Sesshoumaru was standing by the door, waiting for her. Like his younger half brother, Sesshoumaru was not one for long overtures, so as soon as she noticed him he asked her in a cold monotone voice, “Why are you here?”

Taken aback, Kagome gathered her thoughts for a few seconds and then responded with a clear and assured voice, “After the shit you pulled Sesshoumaru, you owe me. I need a place to stay for tonight, and this is it.”

Not surprised by the little woman's sharp tongue, Sesshoumaru accepted the challenge her tone implied and responded with a brazen, “No”

Knowing where he was headed, Kagome gained base in her own voice and yelled, “What do you mean `No' you pompous prick. You owe me you asshole after the way you casually destroyed my relationship with InuYasha. I need a place to stay for the night until I figure everything out, and you are going to give me one.” Shoving past him, she almost made it inside when he grabbed her arm firmly and twisted her around.

“It was not this Sesshoumaru Ka-Go-Me, who ruined your relationship with the half-breed. For I do believe it was the video of you writhing naked on his bed to the sound of my voice that did it.” Ashamed of the veracity of Sesshoumaru's words, Kagome lowered her head as she began to recall all of the mistakes she had made over the last 10 months.

Flashback

Kagome had googled InuYasha's father's name and found out that he had been a pretty important guy politically while he was alive. He was the Chief Justice of the State's Supreme Court to be exact, and before his appointment, was one of the top lawyers in the country. “That's why he probably couldn't claim Yasha as his son. It would have been a major scandal if he had, especially since Izayoi was a human.” Yash never went into detail as to how his parents had actually met. Heck, it took a lot of coaxing, kisses, and sucking to get his father's name from him since it was such a sore subject.

Continuing her research, she discovered that his father did in fact have a wife, or mate as youkai called them, and another son, named Sesshoumaru. “I wonder if Yasha knows he has a brother out there.” Googling his name as well, Kagome discovered that he was a partner at one of the city's oldest firms, and worked in an office that was only a few blocks from her campus. Adding the office number to her cell phone, she decided to call and make contact with this Sesshoumaru guy, as a potential gift for her Yasha.

Following through with her plans Kagome reached Sesshoumaru's office, explained her situation, and to her surprise he immediately offered to meet her for lunch later that week. Although Sesshoumaru's interest in meeting excited her, Kagome was a little concerned about InuYasha finding out about her lunch with Sesshoumaru. There was a strong history of jealousy in their relationship, on both sides, and she didn't want or need her man to get suspicious. When Kagome first met InuYasha in the park that night, they immediately hit it off and she knew he was the one for her. They had dinner and she went home with him without a second thought, but she was technically involved with someone else at the time.

Flashback within a flashback

Kagome had never felt so utterly comfortable in all her life. She was warm, safe, and secure all at the same time, in the softest bed she had ever been in. “When did my bed get so comfortable?” she asked herself as she began to open her eyes. Blinking away the glare of the sun, Kagome heard the voice of the man she knew she would love forever. “I was wondering when you would wake up beautiful.” Before she could respond, her senses were overloaded by one of the most passionate kisses she had ever experienced.

That morning she and InuYasha made love all the way through midmorning, until the perpetual buzzing of her phone brought them out of their euphoric haze. Reluctantly she left InuYasha's arms and searched her bag for the annoying piece of metal and plastic, and as soon as she flipped it open, she remembered three things: one that it was a weekday, and she only had a half an hour to get to her second class, two, she had a boyfriend who was smiling at her from her phone's background, and three, she had not spoken to said boyfriend since yesterday morning, and he was probably worried sick about her.

Kouga was mad after he found out that she had spent the night with a man that was not him; and he didn't quite understand the words `I'm not in love with you, and it's over' too well. That is, until InuYasha got all `alpha male' on him and showed him what a hanyou could in fact do, but that was after about 3 weeks of stalkerish text messages, calls, emails, and visits. Needless to say, InuYasha felt it his place to check her phone and computer, and know her schedule to the second, which caused numerous arguments, shouting matches, tears, and extremely rough sexual encounters that Yasha initiated to assert his dominance. Not that Kagome complained, she was a big girl, and she could take anything her man dished out.

But she wasn't the only one to have problems with stalkers. Yasha was an extremely attractive and successful man, and while his being a hanyou did influence most people's initial perceptions of him, he had more than his fair share of interested women and to his disdain men. Some of the women and one man in particular overstepped their bounds when interacting with her property and there were several occasions where she had to mark her territory in her own unique way. One particular incident at a club involved Kagome taking her man deep while on a dance floor in order to let some clingy chick know that `Kagome' was the only name in InuYasha's vocabulary. Thinking about the pounding she got both before and after they got home had her creaming her boy cut shorts as she waited for the other member of her party to arrive.

When Sesshoumaru did arrive, she immediately noticed the resemblance between him and her Yasha. He was a couple of inches taller than him, and was, as expected, a full demon. As a result of his heritage he had these unique markings on his face that she had never seen before. She asked him about them, and that lead into her learning about his and Yasha's father, and their history. She knew InuYasha probably had no idea about his royal roots, and she had hoped Sesshoumaru would help her devise a plan so that he could.

After lunch they agreed to keep in touch, and they did via a few more lunch dates, emails, and phone calls. Everything in the beginning was completely innocent until they began to IM each other. Initially the IMs were general discussions about their personal lives. She talked about Yasha and he about his intended mate Kagura, who was abroad as an expatriate for the year. He said that he was lonely without her, and how hard it was to stay faithful, so Kagome became his female consort on matters of the heart and sex. One day, he randomly asked her what she was wearing, and she humored him by answering. When he specified that he was more interested in knowing what type and color of underwear she was wearing, she knew it was wrong, but continued to indulge him anyway. After awhile, Sesshoumaru was not the only one asking the questions, for she got a certain kind of rush from their activities as well.

Somehow phones to facilitate dirty conversations became involved, and eventually webcams so that they could watch each other get off. And it was one of those recordings that was sent to InuYasha's phone earlier that night, and lead to her being where she was and in the situation that she was currently mired in. InuYasha was convinced that she was sleeping with Sesshoumaru, and the video was some kind of sick foreplay. But despite their intimacy, she hadn't had sex with Sesshoumaru, InuYasha was her one and only. That was one thing she actually told the truth about that night. In fact she explicitly told Sesshoumaru that their games would not go beyond technology when he asked that they try for the real thing about a month ago. Here in this very apartment when he had invited her to see some of his family's heirlooms, Sesshoumaru kissed her and told her that we wished to make love to her. When she turned him down, he seemed to have understood, but apparently he was just waiting to pull the rug from under her by letting InuYasha in on all of their secrets at the most destructive time possible. But there was one thing she didn't understand, why would Sesshoumaru want to hurt his own brother like that? Especially if he…”

“You…you knew. Yasha, he recognized you when you came in the restaurant. And tonight, he told me that he already knew that he had a brother who didn't want to get to know him, and that you were an asshole. You knew Yasha the whole time. Why would you, why did you let me think…”

Deciding to throw her a rope, Sesshoumaru completed the circle for her with a casual, “This Sesshoumaru used you.”

Confused, Kagome's eyes went wide as she stared unblinkingly at the tall man in front of her. “What?”

In a tone that almost sounded bored Sesshoumaru continued, “You girl, gave me the opportunity to take from my brother that which he loved the most. You.”

Realizing that everything that had happened, the complete and total destruction of her life, the end of her future, the beginning of her downfall had all just been minor details of a master plan orchestrated by this affected dick, she did the only thing she could, she cried. Falling to the ground she looked up with tear drenched eyes and asked, “But why would you, how could you hurt him so bad? What did he ever do to you?”

Looking down at his pawn, Sesshoumaru summed the whole situation up with three simple words, “He was born.”
