Water collapsed lazily against the soft sand, screams of laughter echoed across the beach.

"We're gonna get you Mama!"

Kagome laughed jogging away from the dynamic duo trying feverishly to catch her. Suddenly out of nowhere an incredibly handsome man his arms latched pushed her into the sand holding her waist tightly. A pellet of fierce red hair appeared in front of her.

"Your it!"

The fox kit declared before collapsing next to her mother and his new hero exhausted from their game of tag. It has been two weeks since Bankostu surprised Kagome by showing up at her winter home, two weeks of pure bliss in a cabana they bought directly on the beach in one of the Greek Islands.

"Come on lets head inside, it's going to get dark soon."

Shippo eagerly began running towards the exotic beach house, "I'll race you!"

The couple remained entwined, Kagome twisted around so her firm breasts pressed against his naked torso. Brilliant azure eyes twinkled, she was happy it engulfed her body. The woman who Bankostu cheated with, Ayumi, became a blemish of the past.

"You're beautiful." Bankostu whispered admiring his now tanned lover, his emerald orbs shining with pure admiration. Kagome laughed tenderly kissing his strong lips.

"And you're a distraction!" Prying her body from his they began to follow Shippo. They had not made love- and yes to Kagome it was making love, for the first time in her life it wasn't sex, it wasn't fucking, it was making love. Not since they decided to run away together for a quick holiday, a reckless irresponsible tryst neither of them had ever done.

"I wish we didn't have to leave," Kagome whispered, her slender fingers tightly entwined in Bankostu's. It had been perfection since she left Tokyo, breaking off her engagement and buying a house in Greece with the man she loved. Beach days, and nights by the fire that consisted of Shippo and Bankostu teasing her, which normally ended in her pouting and their laughter. They got along better than she ever could have hoped.

"All good things must come to an end unfortunately."

Goose bumps rippled through Kagome's body when he said that, they marred her perfect flesh with uneasiness. Lady luck was rarely on her side, but she hoped that after returning home things wouldn't fall apart like they usually did. How terribly naïve of her. Brilliant blue stared at the oblivious demon next to her, desperation itching through her.

./././././././././././././././.

Sloshing of cum vibrated through their ears, the heavy pounding of meaty flesh slapping together. Moans poured out of their sweaty bodies in a frantic need to finish.

"Ah yes, fuck my ass!"

Breasts propelled forward as she used her hands to steady her body. She didn't mind experimenting; there were reasons people had anal sex and she now understood why. It was incredible. Juices dripped from her pussy down her porcelain thigh.

"Ugh I'm coming…. Kikyo!"

The half demon grunted as he spilled his hot seed deep into her anus. His sharp claws digging into her smooth fleshy hips.

"Naraku!"

She screeched simultaneously, squirting all over the bed sheets, enjoying the feel of his cum dribble in globs out her ass. Suddenly the man next to her tensed removing his hands to face the woman he loved with every fiber of his being.

"Naraku?"

Golden orbs searched the stunned cold eyes of his naked wife.

"Inu-baby, what are you talking about?"

Her mouth moved in a blubbery fashion, she had fucked up and they both knew it. The affair was ongoing, she considered herself the queen of deceit being able to hide it from her husband for so long. She reached to touch his face with her boney fingers; a smile of lies plastered forcefully on her face.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me Kikyo, Naraku?"

Inuyasha jumped off the bed he shared with Kikyo, a look of incredulous disgust on his rugged face. Silver locks astray from what he believed to be passionate love making.

"How long?"

Rough hands ran through his hair, he had had his suspicions which he disregarded after Kikyo blamed him for having an affair with Kagome. Of course she would seem distant, he had been spending so much time around his ex-girlfriend. After he was met with silence he became more forceful. He couldn't believe what was happening. He felt his heart breaking, how could the woman he loved be a lying whore. It dawned on him that this must have been exactly how Kagome felt after he betrayed her.

"I asked how fucking long!"

Kikyo's black eyes were downcast, this was not going as planned.

"I only did it because you were cheating on me with Kagome! My own fucking sister Inuyasha! How do you think that made me feel?"

Kikyo instantly regretted what she said, in front of her was not the man that loved her and she once loved. In front of her was Sesshomaru's brother, the steely golden spears staring emptily at her.

"Get out of my house."

"Inuyasha wait! Let's talk about this!"

She stared at him with broken eyes, knowing he would not be able to deny her, he was never able to, Inuyasha ignored her feeling his heartbreak further. He couldn't believe this was happening.

"I said get the fuck out, if I even see you near my house I will call the police."

With that he walked into his shower, hoping to wash away all the lies of their fake marriage.

./././././././././././././././.

Idle hands skimmed through emails when a box spammed his screen in bright red letters.

Annual Taisho Corp. Charity Benefit!

His secretary was more than aware how quickly he 'forgot' these events and made a point to harass him daily with it. Unfortunately for Sesshomaru Taisho being the face of the corporation was obliged to go.

"Come in," the deep baritone rumbled after a soft knock on his large wooden doors.

"Mr. Taisho, this package just arrived personally for you, the messenger insisted you receive it immediately."

The young attractive woman whom he had sporadic sexual relations with, was clearly shaken, however Sesshomaru Taisho simply does not involve himself with women's problems. Especially not his employees. With a wave of his hand the package was placed softly on his desk followed by scampering footsteps and the soft thud of a door closing.

He scanned the leather box wrapped golden ribbons that perfectly matched his eyes and smirked. Since Kagome had publicly embarrassed him by running off with her lover, Sesshomaru had begun casually seeing Sara, a beautiful wind demoness who's father owned a chain of high class resorts around the world. Although they had only been together for 2 weeks he certainly appreciated the gesture, even if he wouldn't be returning it. Clicking open the box he found a stunning Rolex watch, simple in its classic silver style. She had elegance he would give her that.

Sesshomaru,

2012 is bound to be a spectacular year, especially if you give me the honor to spend it with you and Rin. However I understand with all the terrible things I've done

you may not be as enthusiastic as I am. Please accept this gift as

a token of my appreciation for everything you've done for me

and Shippo. It instantly reminded me of you

when I saw it. Sincerely,

Kagome. xx

The note fell harshly on his desk as well as a fat check of $10 million to his charity benefit tonight. A frown marred the beautiful Prince's face. Did the bitch just assume everything would be all right if she bought him an expensive watch, wrote a large check, and apologized? He certainly did not believe so.

./././././././././././././././.

Bankostu sat in his office rubbing his temples in hope that the giant migraine would suddenly just be massaged away. Once again he was in deep shit, and this time he had no idea how to escape it. Slipping on his black coat he trudged out of the solemn room, forgetting completely about the buzzing phone left in his desk drawer.

./././././././././././././././.

Black boots crunching through the fresh snow, her brilliant white smile shimmering against the sun. She knew it was going to be a great year, 2012. Kagome basked in the fact that she no longer fawned over Inuyasha and had a new love in her life, someone so incredible she couldn't even remember how it felt to love anyone else, to think without him, breathe without him. Everything was simply perfect.

"Inuyasha?" She sang knocking on her friend's door, she could see his black truck sitting quietly in the driveway. Knocking a little harsher the door pushed itself open. What awaited her eyes was unbelievable. The love child of a teenage boys room, and a hurricane, surrounding her was broken windows, furniture shattered into tiny wooden pieces, pictures burning in the roaring fireplace.

"Inuyasha!"

Her panicked voice echoed through the house, the heavy scent of blood and liquor reaching her nose. Within seconds she was facing the disheveled hanyou who was holding a gun in one hand and a nearly empty bottle of whiskey in the other. Arms bloody, presumably from all the destruction he caused downstairs. Tears matted silver locks on his rugged face.

"Inu, what happened?" Kagome's soft words nursed him, edging closer to him slowly.

"Kikyo, that fucking whore, broke my heart. That cheating lying whore."

Sapphire eyes gazed sadly at the broken man lying in front of her.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, but I don't think this is the way to handle it-" something bitter entered her nose, the scent of spider poison. Eyes darting around she found a bloody needle cast to the side. "Inuyasha what the fuck have you done?"

Kagome pounced towards him trying to knock the gun from his hand, accidently getting shot in the leg by a silver bullet.

"Mother fucker," she hissed, it had been a while since Kagome was shot and she felt herself quickly losing control, red seeping into her eyes.

"Why can't you just let me die in peace Kagome, that's all I fucking want, to die in fucking peace." Inuyasha slurred staggering across the room.

Trying to jiggle her IPhone out of her pocket without irritating the burning flesh further, shaky hands called the only number she thought possible.

"Inuyasha is trying to kill himself, you're the only person I could call. Please I need help."

Her round chest heaved up and down as she tried to speak and control the blood flow. Kagome continued a rather heated conversation with the person on the other line before releasing a sigh of relief.

"Great see you soon."

"Kagome who did you just call? Just let me fucking go, you're fucking pathetic loving me when you know I've always only loved Kikyo."

Inuyasha staggered forward, crimson blood spilling on the carpet, gun faced directly at her. Kagome's heart clenched her eyes flashing between red and blue. Lunging she knocked him on his back pinning his arms above his head and throwing the gun into a far corner.

"Just shut your fucking mouth."

She mumbled before latching her cherry lips on an incision she made by the injection point. Grimacing she began sucking the poison out, blood running freely from her leg, she felt the bitter liquid enter her mouth, the sting of the poison coursing through her veins. Slowly the tanned beauty turned ghostly pale, her body shaking and feverish. Flicking her eyes upwards she noticed he had fallen into a slumber. Pushing herself to sit upright she pulled off her lavender scarf and tried to wrap it around her festering wound. Many people didn't know the effects silver had on demons, the wound can't heal unless its been pulled out. Lying against the bed she felt herself drift in and out of consciousness.

"Sir there's an unconscious brunette lying here as well… Bankostu, yes I'll call him. I've got the hanyou. I'll drop him off at the estate."

Kagome pried her eyes open for a moment, standing in front of Inuyasha was a large burly demon she recognized as being part of the Taisho's household staff. That fucker was just going to leave her there, guess he didn't appreciate the donation very much. Not that she could blame him after the way she embarrassed him. Slowly Kagome closed her burning eyes allowing the darkness to wash over her once more.

./././././././././././././././.

Sesshomaru turned into the driveway of Inuyasha's country home. Unfortunately for him, his father demanded that Sesshomaru retrieve the needle, which held the poison for further analysis. It had been 3 days since the entire episode and Sesshomaru was more than eager to be finished with his brother's tantrum. Walking towards the mahogany front door the pungent smell of coppery blood invaded his senses. It smelled fresh. Breaking the door open he was instantly in front of Inuyasha's room where the stench burst in full flavor.

"Kami."

He muttered. There lying in an oozing pool of her own blood was Kagome, her shining chocolate hair was matted and dull with the sticky discharge, her once peach sweater was a filthy brown, skin bleached making her nearly luminescent. Merely a skeleton of the woman she was before. Sesshomaru stood there, his steely golden orbs contemplating leaving her there to die, this single woman had completely upturned his life and filled it with the more gruesome memories than he held from the feudal era. However this same woman showed him how to experience love, pure unadulterated love, she held his baby in her womb, and saved his brother. Sighing he moved to remove the soaking makeshift bandage to reveal a gaping hole, sticking a sharp claw through the tender flesh he dug out the silver devil tossing it onto the floor. Sesshomaru pulled out his phone with his clean hand.

"Bankostu come to Inuyasha's right now, its urgent."

With that he sat in the puddle of his old lovers blood, staring at the blood dripping from her mouth and the wound that wasn't closing. She must have sucked the venom straight out of Inuyasha. Only a fool would do that for someone else. Moments later a disheveled Bankostu burst through the door dropping on his knees in front of his girlfriend.

"Kagome! What happened?"

His jade eyes looked frantically at all the blood surrounding her, burying her.

"She saved the hanyou's life by sucking poison out of him. Had you answered your phone three days ago you would have known this."

Bankostu stood in shock, firstly because this was the most amount of words that Sesshomaru has ever directly spoken to him and secondly the love of his life has been lying here dying for three days.

"Why the fuck didn't you take her then!"

He was beyond furious, how dare this ass hole leave her like this to suffer and rot.

"We called you, we assumed you had come to fetch her. Had I not arrived today nobody would have known of your negligence for the woman you supposedly love."

His emerald eye shown with fury however he knew the icy lord was right, hurriedly he picked his lover up and placed her in his lap at the back of his limo.

"Bank," she whispered coughing up patches of blood onto his pants. Quickly he tried to sooth her matted hair.

"I'm here Kags, don't worry I'm here."

Guilty eyes roamed her broken body.

"Where have you been?"

Time passed slowly for Kagome, she felt the red-hot fire of the poison pump into her heart, burning, scorching her body, but she couldn't move, she was immobile.

"It's not important…"

Bankostu continued stroking her hair, hoping to sooth her and change the subject. It was definitely something he didn't want to approach now.

"Tell me," haggard sounds came out of her mouth as well as another torrent of blood. Something wasn't right, she felt it in her very core. Bankostu winced staring in front of him.

"Ayumi is pregnant, we're keeping the baby."

A single tear rolled down Kagome's bloody cheek. Maybe 2012 wasn't going to be that great after all.
