Once Sesshoumaru explained to him his situation and how he came to be in the castle Inuyasha immediately asked, "Why?"

Seshsoumaru sighed, running a hand through his hair as he leaned back against his chair. He eyed his brother warily. Sesshoumaru knew he would have to tell him and set in for a long story. Inuyasha stared wide eyed at him as he retold the tale of Kagome and him. He thanked the Gods for little details that were left out. 'I can't take this this early in the morning...'Inuyasha thought as the story was finished.

"However," Sesshoumaru continued, "Due to some...inconveniences, you are not to tell a soul, living or dead, about this. If I find out you had said a word to anyone I shall slit your throat and throw you to your dead bitch. Do you understand?" The threat in his brothers eyes was unlike anything he had ever seen and Inuyasha knew to shut his mouth and nod his head. "There are some who would love to take advantage of her to get to me. I will not have it." Sesshoumaru stood to leave but turned back when he reached the door, "You are to leave once your injuries are fully healed. I expect that should be within a day or two?" Inuyasha nodded numbly and Sesshoumaru swiftly left the room, leaving Inuyasha to his thoughts.

"How long should it take us to reach Sesshoumaru's castle?" Kagome asked her two companions as they rode on Kirara's back.

"Well we are a day from Inuyasha's Forest and from there it should only be another day or two at this pace." Miroku responded, "However if we come across a shard it will slow us down if we intend to retrieve it."

After that most of the trip was silent except for when Shippou got bored and asked for a song or a story. Kagome would happily comply and sing songs from her time, or tell him stories from fairy tales she knew. She would always leave out ones where the bad guy was a demon and such. When Shippou had heard the tale of Beauty and the Beast, he excitedly pointed out her relationship with Sesshoumaru. This gave the others something to think about.

The group had reached the village before nightfall and told Kaede of what had happened. Glancing at the nervous miko, Kaede cast her a knowing smile. The rest of the night went smoothly as well as the next morning and afternoon. But as the sun began to set the next day...

"Did you hear that?" Kagome nervously finished making her bed as she reached for her bow and arrows.

"Indeed I did Kagome-sama" Miroku clutched at his staff as he shared a look with Sango.

The bushes rustled again as a low growl emitted. Shippou gasped and ran to where it was coming from. "Inuyasha?" He stopped in front of the bush and sniffed before a bright smile appeared on his face. "Inuyasha!" The group relaxed considerably as they saw the white hair of the hanyou enter their campsite.

Inuyasha smiled at everyone, "I don't go down that easy. You should know that by now. You can't get rid of me so get over it." He plopped down by the fire and looked at them expectantly. "Well? Where's my ramen?"

Kagome face-faulted before she straightened herself rolling her eyes. She handed him a bowl of ramen as it finished cooking and everyone sat down to eat.

As Kagome was settling in to sleep she noticed Inuyasha's stare. He jumped down from his perch to sit beside her, his eyes widened slightly and he sniffed her a bit. "What the hell are you doing?" Kagome raised an eyebrow at his strange behavior. Inuyasha shook his head as if to clear it before remembering what he had to do.

"You do whatever you have to do to make her believe I don't now nor did I ever care for her. I don't care what it takes but I would rather have a heart to mend later than a death to take care of. Do. You. Understand?" The command was low and firm, leaving no room to argue or protest with even the slightest of sounds.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at his brother, "Why are you making me do this? Why did you mate with her if you knew you had enemies that would use her against you. Why would you do that knowing you could not be with her to protect her?!" His voice has risen to a shout by the time he was finished and Sesshoumaru sighed in agitation.

"She was in heat. Her scent would drive any demon crazy, but to one who was in love with her..." Sesshoumaru smiled sardonically, "It's the most potent aphrodisiac in the world. My control was already thin that night, it caused me to snap. Will you do this for me or not?"

Inuyasha nodded once to Sesshoumaru and took off.

"Kagome. There's something I have to tell you." Kagome looked at him worriedly. She opened her mouth to speak but he held up his hand signaling for silence. "Don't interrupt. This is hard enough as it is. But you have to know."

Inuyasha glanced down the hall when he heard a sound of laughter. Knowing that one of the voices was his brothers he walked towards the room it was coming from.

"And she believed you?! Stupid little slut." Inuyasha peeked into the room and found a woman sitting in Sesshoumaru's lap. She was beautiful with long red hair, and piercing green eyes. She had a tail and pointed ears. Two indigo strips crossed her right cheek and two more wrapped around her left leg that was exposed to his view. She was indecently clad, exposing most of her body the gaze of the lustful lord.

"Humans are too trusting for their own good. If you ask me she got a very good deal. I got stress relief, she got pleasures beyond her wildest dreams. Virgins just make it more fun." Sesshoumaru growled the last part as the demoness licked at his neck, her hands roaming to other parts of his anatomy.

Inuyasha turned away, disgusted at his brother and stalked down the hall.

"No..." Kagome shook her head, tears falling from her eyes, "NO! I don't believe you! No." She crumpled. Inuyasha swallowed the lump in his throat, he hated doing this to her. He hated seeing her like this. But most of all he hated whoever was plotting against Sesshoumaru, for they were the ones to blame for her suffering. Inuyasha was startled out of his death plots when a light glow brought his attention to the back of Kagomes neck. A crescent blue moon was shimmering slightly at the base of her skull. He could only barely make it out through her hair that had fallen over her shoulder as she bent over crying. He was shocked it was there but knew Sesshoumaru could now feel her pain.

Inuyasha held onto her as heaving sobs wracked her body. A lone tear fell out of his eye for her pain.

A/N Ooooo What will happen next?! You'll see soon enough. No worries. Keep reviewing! I'm loving them!
