Golden Eyes

Inuyasha stood quietly waiting for Kouga to arrive. His long black hair flowed about his shoulders and he was wearing the business suit that Kagome picked out for him. He didn’t care that the tie and the scarf in his right pocket was a pale pink. He practically forgot what color that was since his glasses had been taken away. All he could see was auras and that would do well for what Sesshoumaru had asked of him.

The only thing that alerted Inuyasha to Kouga’s quiet presence was the click of the door and the swirling dark blue energy that flowed around Kouga.

“Well, you look good. It almost seems as if you are the one who is choosing the female.”

Inuyasha sighed.

“Perhaps I am. Maybe you can deal with Kagome’s temperaments better than I. We have an equal share and investment of time in her. Why should I not have the choice in this as well? As I have always said to you Kouga, I have yet to know a time where we didn’t share everything.”

Kouga was shocked on how old Inuyasha sounded. Had it really been that long since they were apart? It couldn’t have been that long. Maybe a few days, but not enough that he shouldn’t have notice the changes.

Inuyasha looked a lot more like Sesshoumaru and his voice had a deeper timber than before. In fact it was a lot lower than Kouga remembered. Had they changed that much in only three years? No one seemed to notice the changes in him. Perhaps he was the only one who had not changed yet. Kouga really had no reason to other than his responsibilities to the kids and to Kagome. Sess and Inuyasha had accepted a long time ago that they were more for pleasure until he found his own woman to settle with.

“True, we shared jewel shard searching as well. It is amusing to believe that our old man and our Moms were stuck in that thing. To honestly think you and I could become stronger with their help. What a joke on us eh?”

Inuyasha let a small smirk lift the corner of his lips. He hated this. It was like a turkey shoot and they all wanted their money as well as their power. It was a bunch of fucking demon bitch royalty out there wanting a piece of Kouga or him. Some fucking Cinderella story his life turned out to be. If he had the chance he would have shoved his glass slipper up Prince Asshole big brother’s ass if it would fit since the stick was still stuck up in there. It had to be at least a fucking two by four.

“Sure….”

Kouga frowned. When did Inuyasha lose his sense of humor?

He watched as Inuyasha sat down throwing an envelope across the desk at Kouga.

“What is this?”

Kouga opened the envelope. It was divorce papers from Kagome. She wanted to divorce Inuyasha? For what!?

“Ok, this is bullshit Inuyasha! What the fuck! Kagome can’t do this can she?”

Inuyasha sighed and then looked in Kouga’s direction then into space for a moment with a smirk and dropped his hand looking at the ground.

“She wants to marry you. I have been married to Kagome for over 500 years. It is your turn. You see this pick ain’t for you. It is for me. I love Kagome too much to make her unhappy so this is actually the court documents. We are officially divorced as of three days ago.”

Kouga snarled and wanted to beat the fuck out of someone. It wasn’t fair to beat on Inuyasha and hell he couldn’t hit a woman. His fist clenched around the papers.

“So my choice is being made for me again………”

Inuyasha lifted a hand to silence the wolf.

“Look Kouga, you are marrying Kagome. We are still mated, all of us. It changes little for your life. It is your turn that is all. Hell you called her your woman for how many fucking years so what is the big fucking deal? You get to help me and I you pick one of these………theses fucking gold diggers to be our mate……so it isn’t like……well FUCK!!!”

This divorce crap was insulting and Inuyasha was hurt. Damn he loved being married to Kagome and didn’t mind the relationship with Kouga. They finally had a plan and then everything went to hell. Sess was right damn him. They needed to find another female. It was the only way to have harmony. Still, it hurt so damn much and Inuyasha wanted to go back to change the whole damn court process. Living separate lives was not going to help anyone.

“Why would you do this? Couldn’t you just tell her that she was insane and needed help?”

At that Inuyasha looked in Kouga’s general direction like the guy was a moron. In fact that was a very tactless moronic thing to say although his lips twitched a bit with humor.

“Sure….go ahead and tell her that Kouga. In fact I will give you my cell phone. Perhaps you can talk some sense into her thick skull.”

Kouga sighed and threw the papers on the floor. Looking for a fucking lighter he was going to burn them. Maybe that would make this not happen. At least he could pretend for a few minutes since as much as he loved Kagome and called her his woman he was not even planning on marrying the woman he was going to mate. Not at least for a few years. Sess may force him to mate someone, but he didn’t have to follow any stupid human law in marrying the bitch until he was good and ready. Perhaps with a lawyer present and lots of paperwork for her to sign since half these women were like fucking Princesses with probably their own lawyers. He may have to fuck her, live with her, and do all that shit but he didn’t have to sell his soul along with his fortune. Then there was their relationship thing. Would they accept their lifestyles?

“Inuyasha I don’t care how we do this, but I ain’t the marrying kind. I mean I am going to mate like I am supposed to, but you can’t expect me to go all serious…..I mean I only have three fucking months. That isn’t enough time to find out a lifetime’s worth of information.”

Inuyasha growled.

“So you would refuse to marry Kagome after all we did for you? You fucking asshole!”

Kouga found himself lifted off the ground with a red eyed pissed off demon lifting him then pinning him to the wall with the desk now across the room in pieces. Kouga couldn’t have moved that fast in his entire life.

“What! You thought I would? We mate for life you jerk! Isn’t that enough of a marriage?”

Inuyasha dropped Kouga.

“True enough, but you have no idea………”

Inuyasha broke down in tears. The human side of him, his Mother’s hellion side wanted revenge for his loss. He wanted things like they were before. To Inuyasha marriage was a sacred thing and he loved being a married man.

Kouga put a hand on Inuyasha as people came in to remove the old desk putting in a new one. This was pretty normal. Inuyasha once suggested they start up a furniture store. Funny part about that was that Sesshoumaru did exactly that one month later. All furniture in their offices was expensive mahogany and oak with a smattering of cherry wood. They even had some beautiful olive wood items from Bethlehem itself. Intricate carvings were created in the wood, but nothing that could not be repeated since demons tended to destroy things often. It was in their nature.

Inuyasha wiped away the tears quickly.

“So can I fix this?”

Kouga both had the same look. Probably not……Kouga would have to marry Kagome for a time, drive her insane, and make her want to go back to Inuyasha. He could do it, just some friends over, a lot of beer, and parties every night. Still, that damn Kagome was a tough one and to make her miserable may not be the best idea.

“Marry her Kouga, for a while just try it out. If you don’t like it…….well…….it is always nice having someone to greet you at home, have a hot meal for you, make love to you……. You know what……fuck you. I am getting my wife back. Just help me with this crap and you can stay a fucking bachelor with fringe mating benefits. I am getting too old for this shit. You are an idiot to want to stay a bachelor. It sucks and I don’t want it.”

Inuyasha stated grumpily sounding much like his old self except for the fact he spoke with such a low baritone it was like speaking to Sesshoumaru or Touga.

Kouga thought about that.

“Hey, that doesn’t sound too bad…..”

Inuyasha growled.

“No don’t get any fucking ideas that you can make a marriage work. You have no idea and you don’t deserve to marry Kagome just to test out some dumb ass theory that you can handle it. I won’t have my house turned upside down just because you think you can be a married man. You couldn’t even cut it for a day.”

Kouga growled back.

“Look mutt face, I can make it work just fine! You are the idiot who let her divorce you! Don’t think I can’t do it and it ain’t no fucking experiment dufass. I ain’t that shallow. I love Kagome and I love it when we three are together. Hell….I don’t have to iron my own shirts, fold nor find my own socks. It is great. I get hot food and great company……I think I changed my mind. I think I want to marry Kagome.”

Inuyasha and Kouga attacked each other as Inuyasha lost it. NO fucking wimpy ass wolf was going to take his wife and marry her! Not even if he loved the guy! That was his wife damn it all and after all these years it wasn’t right for Kouga to think he could just waltz in and take her away from him after all the years of comfort he had. Comfort in knowing he was loved, knowing he had a home, knowing he had a family, and knowing what he was coming home to since living alone sucked. He did it, for most of his life until Sess came to actually care again. He knew Kagome better than anyone. Inuyasha was livid with rage, pain, abandonment, and he was going to take it out on Kouga if he got any more stupid ideas that he could marry his Kagome. It was bad enough he had to share her all these years. At that point Inuyasha completely lost it.

Kouga found himself hanging out a window with one hand on the seal with a fuming Inuyasha pulling him up only to throw him against the wall again knocking everything off of it. The office was a wreck.

Sesshoumaru barged through the door as Inuyasha’s claws elongated around Kouga’s throat.

“ENOUGH!”

The office was totaled. His office. Inuyasha at the sound of his Alpha came to and dropped Kouga right on his ass. He wouldn’t have killed the wolf, but he sure as hell would not let him steal away his wife. Inuyasha was done sharing. He was worn out and couldn’t do it anymore. It was one thing to be with Kouga alone or Sess. It was another to keep sharing the woman he loved more than his life and have her try to leave him. Inuyasha was sick of people leaving him.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and at Kouga as she pushed past Sesshoumaru putting a hand on Inuyasha to calm him down. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and grasped her in his arms.

“I don’t know what the fuck I was thinking Kagome. I can’t do this……I love you.”

Kagome nodded and was in tears. Sesshoumaru got the call earlier and found out also that someone had hacked into her phone line. It was like the threats were starting again except this was different than before. This time they were going after the females and Kagome had been home alone when her phone blew up. There was still healing on the side of her face as Inuyasha felt something wet wondering if it were tears until he smelled the burnt smell.

“WHO DID THIS TO YOU KAGOME!?’

Kouga shook his head getting up. This hadn’t been the normal scrap so he was a bit sore. Inuyasha really laid into him this time. Looking at Kagome he growled.

“What the fuck? I thought the threat was gone!”

Hallow and Lee rushed up as Lee looked at his Mother who was trying to get all of them to stop. Inuyasha however would not let her go.

“Sesshoumaru marry us again and not because of this threat! I love you Kagome. I don’t have the rings, but I need you……I can’t live without you. Please forgive me……”

Kagome held Inuyasha tightly kissing him. He had risked his very life, done all he could for his family, and had been there always for her. How could they both be so damn stupid?

“Of course I will. Please if you can Sesshoumaru?”

Sesshoumaru wasn’t thinking straight. He was upset. Mirage’s cell phone had exploded and he took the brunt of that only burning his shirt. Her fingers were still being reformed as she stood behind him.

“SESS!”

Inuyasha yelled as his older brother finally nodded.

“I will just call and have the whole damn thing fixed. You have always been married so don’t be annoying Inuyasha. I have other matters to attend to. Fix up this mess and when you both are done meet me at our home. Expect police, security, and the usual.”

With that Sesshoumaru left with his wife. He wasn’t able to protect his pack if he was human. It wasn’t going to work. As much as he wanted his unborn child to be reborn after the incidents of the past, he couldn’t guarantee his family’s safety if he was weak. A solution had to be found. Perhaps his Father would have answers. Too bad Mioga was dead. That flea could find anyone anywhere.
