“I don’t believe you.” she said to him. Sesshoumaru looked at her. Mercedes looked around the den. Her parents were still entertaining Kagome. Sesshoumaru looked at her.
“Well they did make me in the beginning but after a while I just kept doing it on my own.” he told her.
“I hate you.” she hissed. “You think that you can do whatever you want and not pay, god the things you made me do, you made me like your slave.” she cried.
“I did but that was then this is now, you’re no longer under my care you should be happy.” he told her.
Mercedes looked at her brother. “You enjoyed beating me didn’t you?”
Sesshoumaru sighed.
“Mercedes you were disobedient.” he said.
She wiped the tears from her eyes. “I’m leaving I won’t be here when you and Kagome leave.” she told him.
“Oh and where will you be?” he asked her.
“Suki, you know the girl you scared to death all those years ago.” she said
“Hmm, she’s still alive, she ‘s the reason you now have black hair and wear those damn contacts.” he growled.

“S..she’s my friend I was able to turn to her when you abused me.” she hissed.

“You may have mom, my dad and Kagome fooled but I know the real you, some one doesn’t do as you say they are punished.”
Sesshoumaru looked at her. He closed his book and placed it on the table. “Have fun at Suki’s.” he said.
Mercedes looked at him. She heard Kagome and her parent’s coming in form the room.
She walked away from Sesshoumaru and walked out the den and back up to her bedroom to start packing.

Kagome came into the den and sat on Sesshoumaru’s lap. “Where is Mercedes?” she asked him

“She’s sleeping.” he told her.

“Oh, I was hoping to talk to her about earlier." Kagome said to him.
"Um, lets go for a walk." Sesshomaru told her as he stood them up.
"Oh, okay." Kagome said. Sesshomaru and Kagome walked out of the house. "Kagome, you are not be nowhere near Mercedes, understand." Sesshomaru said in a cold voice as they walked down the path walk. Kagome stopped walking.

"Sesshomaru, is something wrong?" Kagome asked him.
"She's is a bad influence." he said to her Kagome smiled at him.
"Okay if you think it's for the best." she said. Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome to him as they walked back inside .
Mercedes came down with her bags. "Mercedes where are you going?" Her dad asked her. Mercedes looked at her dad.
"To Suki's." she said.
"Why honey?" he asked her.
"I just have to go daddy." she told him. Mercedes looked at Kagome. "Please excuse my behavior earlier Kagome." Mercedes said to her.
"No big deal." Kagome said to her.
"Would you like Sesshoumaru to take you to Suki's?" her dad asked her.
"No I've spent enough time with Sesshoumaru to last me a lifetime." she said

: "Oh, well I cant seem to spend enough time with him." Kagome said as she hugged Sesshomaru. "Yeah, just wait until he starts in on you." Mercedes mumbled to herself as she walked out the door.
"What was that?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Oh, have fun you two." She said and left.
"Kagome, lets go upstairs and spend some time together." Sesshomaru told her. "I would but I told your mother that I would help her cook dinner." Kagome told him.

"Oh , well come and get me when you're done." he told her Kagome smiled and went to help Tsuki cook.
"Is something going on between you and Mercedes?" Hiorshi asked Sesshoumaru.
"Nothing that I am aware of." Sesshoumaru told him.
"I know you're a sucessful person now Sesshoumaru and there is a age gap between you two but your sister does look up to you it would be nice if you two setteld whatever is going on between you two before you go." Hiroshi told him.


"As I said before, I don’t know what Mercedes is thinking. She doesn’t talk to me like she use to." Sesshomaru told him.
"Oh, well let me see if I or your mother can talk some sense into her." Hiroshi told him. "Good idea." Sesshomaru told him.
"Better do it before I beat some sense into her." Sesshomaru thought to himself as he watched Kagome in the kitchen.
"Did you hear me Sesshomaru?" Hiroshi asked him. "Yea, I'll get right on it." Sesshomaru told him. "Never mind." Hiroshi said with a sigh as he stood up.

Mercedes made it her friend Suki's house she took the key out and opened the door. "Suki I'm back." Mercedes said as she walked in. A young woman with short black hair walked into the room.
"Hey Mercedes what took you so long?" she asked her as she looked at Mercedes face.
"What Happened?" Suki asked her.
"Sesshoumaru is back, so you can guess what happened." she told her.
"I'm sorry." Suki said hugging her.
"Well you can stay here for as long as you want." Suki told her.

"Mercedes why didn't you ever tell your dad?" She asked her as they walked into the living room.
"Because he would be angry and the life that
Sesshoumaru leads he would kill my dad." she told her. "Honey sooner or later you're going to have to tell someone." she said to her.


"I told you." Mercedes answered as she kissed Suki on the lips.
"So how long is Sesshomaru going to be down?" Suki asked her.
"I'm not for sure actually. I think that he told me, but I guess I forgot." Mercedes answered.
"Um, have a seat on the couch and I will make you a cup of hot tea." Suki told her. "Okay." Mercedes said as she sat down on the couch.

Mercedes touched the side of her face it still hurt some. "Him and his poison they all think he's the perfect son doesn't even matter to them that he's in the mafia." Mercedes said as she looked around Suki's home.

No one in her family knew of her relationship with Suki , she sighed she wanted to tell her parents but she was afraid of what they would say or do.
"Here you go." Suki said as she came back with a cup of tea for Mercedes.
"Thank you." she said to her.
"Suki would you be mad if I decided to go back to school?" she asked her.
"No I'd support you all the way." She told her.
Mercedes picked up the phone and called her house. Sesshoumaru answered the phone."Hello." she heard him say.
"Put my father on the phone." she said to him.


"And why would I want to do that?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Sesshomaru, please just put him on the phone. I have to talk to him." Mercedes told him. "You have to talk to him about something that you cant talk to me about?" Sesshomaru asked her as he walked over to Kagome and kissed her on the back of the neck. Mercedes sighed. "I'll just call back later." Mercedes said with a sigh and hung up the phone.


Mercedes growled. "I hate him!" she screamed. Suki looked at the young demoness. "Calm down." Suki said to her.
"No I'm going over there right now and telling my dad!" she said.
"Oh Lord, Mercedes.”
" No don't talk me out of it I'm going." she said as she stood up and walked out the house .
Suki ran after her. "Damn she can walk fast when she mad." Suki said as she ran to catch up with her. Mercedes walked into her house with Suki behind her.
She saw Sesshoumaru and them getting ready to sit down for dinner.
"Suki how are you?" Mercedes and Sesshoumaru's mom asked her.
"Fine." she said as she looked at Sesshoumaru.
"Daddy I need to talk to you now in private it can't wait." she said . Hiroshi sighed. "Why can't you say in front of us all?" Sesshoumaru asked her.
"Because it's none of your damn business." she growled


"Mercedes, speak." Her dad told her. Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome's hand., he knew exactly what Mercedes was about to say. "Fine, I will tell you." Mercedes said.
"Your ass of a son has been beating me ever since we were kids!" Mercedes yelled. "You deserved it." Sesshomaru told her.
Kagome gasped. "Sesshomaru is this true?"

Kagome asked him. "Of course it's true, who do you think was the only person to keep Mercedes in line?" Hiroshi asked her.


"It wasn't like I want to beat her but she was a bad pup." he said.
"You didn't have to hurt her the way you did." Suki said. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at her. Suki swallowed.
"How could you let him beat me?" she asked her parents.
" Sweetheart it was what was needed."her parents told her.
"Fine well I'm moving in with Suki, she's my lover." Mercedes said. Kagome's eyes went wide, while three dog demons all growled at Mercedes and Suki..


"I didn’t know that you were going to tell them that" Suki told her.
"Well, it slipped." Mercedes told her.
"Sesshomaru, let go." Kagome said as she struggled to release her hand from his. "Mercedes, lets take our leave." Suki said as she pulled her out the front door.

"No, I want to see what my so called parents do." Mercedes said to her. "Sesshomaru, do what you do best." His mother told him.
"As you wish mother." Sesshomaru said as his eyes began to bleed red. "Sesshomaru." Kagome whispered. "This cant be you." Kagome said in a low voice.
Sesshoumaru heard her. Suki pulled Mercedes out the house. “Sessho please don’t hurt her be happy for her.” Kagome said to him.
“Kagome you don’t understand what she did is against youaki laws.” he told her.

“Please for me she seems so happy.” Kagome said to him. Sesshoumaru sighed and sat down.

“You’re to kind. Kagome . “Tsuki said to her.
Kagome nodded her head.
“Mercedes will have to be dealt with at a later time.” Tsuki said to them, knowing Sesshoumaru would know what to do.

Kagome didn’t care about their youaki laws. "Sesshomaru, I don’t want you hurting her." Kagome told him.
"He has no choice." Tsuki said to her.
"Like hell he doesn’t. Sesshomaru pick right now. If you lay a finger on her, you will lose me as well." Kagome told him in a voice that wasn’t her own.
