Anata no Tame no Mono by Furuichiko

Part One: Prologue

If anything in this story sounds familiar, yes I copied it from another story. I, however, did not plagiarize any story. Except my own. (Is that even plagiarism?) That being said, yes, I copied one of my own previous works, for this is the revamped story of the same name.

I would like to thank you, Marie, for being awesome

As such, (again, and still) Sesshomaru will be (marginally?) OC; and 100% human (I think, everyone will be human). In the earlier version, I also added that when you read the whole story that you would understand that he would not be known as Sesshomaru, but as “Maru". This is still true. Though the reason for this (in the older version) was because Kagome named her dog “Sessho"; however, in this version, I do not think that this will be the same.

Prologue

Ten Years Ago . . .

He needed help, he knew that, but he did not want to outright ask her to help him and ruin his surprise. The young man paced around his room in the fraternity house that he currently resided in, running his hands through his disheveled long tresses. It was as he was pacing his room for the millionth time since he had started worrying that day, then a thought had come to him. Use the best friend!

Smacking his forehead with his palm, Maru rushed out of his room in search of one of his fraternity brothers, Miroku. Finding him in the game room with Inuyasha, his half brother, playing on one of a few of their gaming consoles, he attempted to get his attention.

“Whad’ya want, Butt wad, can’t you see we are in the middle of something?” Inuyasha nearly growled, not taking his eyes away from the TV.

Maru’s eye began to twitch, semi-unconsciously, Maru then proceeded to punch his brother in the back of his head. “I was not talking to you.”

“Ow! What the fuck Maru! That hurt!” Inuyasha bellowed, turning angrily on him moments before the screen announced that they had lost. “Thanks a lot, fucker! We could have had that!”

“Silence, Ingrate.” Maru then turned to Miroku and asked again, “Can I borrow your phone for a moment?”

“What’s wrong with yours?” Miroku had asked, digging into his pocket.

“I do not have her number.”

“Calling someone for a booty call?” Inuyasha remarked snidely.

‘Why the fuck does this pervert have so many contacts?’ Maru asked himself as he scrolled through Miroku’s countless contacts. However, he gave his own snide reply to Inuyasha’s obvious taunt. “Yeah, your girlfriend.” A moment later, he finally found the person he was looking for and clicked on her name.

When she answered, Maru said immediately, “Don’t say anything.” When he was met with silence he then continued. “I know this is odd, I had to since I didn’t have you number. I need a favor, and you are the only one that can help me.”

“What do you want, hentai? Kagome and I are on a date.”

‘I guess that answers my next question.’ Maru said to himself. Then asked, “I need help finding a ring for her, and since I don’t want to ruin the surprise, and the fact that you are her best friend, I thought you could help me. I wanted to go shopping before our anniversary next week. Is it possible to meet before then?”

“Hmm, I guess I could,” She paused a moment before continuing, “Saturday morning.”

“Alright, do you want me to pick you up?”

“Fine, Friday night. Geez you hentai.”

“Thanks Sango.” Maru said before hanging up and giving Miroku his phone back.

That following Saturday . . .

“Thanks again for helping me with this, Sango.” Maru said as he held to the door open for the fifth store that they’ve been to that morning.

“Thank you.” She said, as she walked into the store, then continued. “Its no big deal, I love that you are taking it to the next level with Kagome.”

They walked around for a moment before finding the section they displayed their engagement rings. “Ah, such a lovely couple the two of you make.” A flamboyant salesman said cheerfully as he walked up to them on the other side of the counter. Maru and Sango had learned that by the third store that to forgo all the explaining that they were not the couple, to just act as the happy couple, while still looking for the ring that Maru was hoping to find. So they said their thank-yous. “How might I help the happy couple to be?”

“This is your selection of engagement rings?” Sango had asked the peppy salesman.

“Why yes. Is there something here that you like?”

“Do you have a special collection that is not on display? Or do you customize?” Maru asked.

“Yes, we have more extravagant rings off the floor. And yes, we do customize. However, that process might take a couple of weeks.”

“What do you think, Honey, do you want to wait and have a custom made ring?” Sango turned to Maru and asked with a smile.

“Hmm,” Maru thought as he looked down at the display in front of him. Looking for a moment, at each wedding band sets, he did not see any that really appealed to him, knowing that Kagome wouldn’t like any of them either. Standing, he looked at the salesman and said, sighing, “Could we look at the other collection?”

The salesman smiled brightly and said, “Just a moment, while I go get them.”

While the salesman was in the back for a moment, Sango turned to him and said, “This is the fifth store today, I do not want to sound like I am complaining, but seriously, Maru, just pick something. She will love it either way.”

“I can’t help it, Sango. I just want to find something that is just as perfect and beautiful as she is. I know I’m asking too might right now, but if we don’t find it, should we just customize one here or go to another store?”

Not realizing that the salesman had returned, Sango replied, touching his upper arm, sighing slightly. “Like I said before, Maru, she will love it no matter what it looks like. She loves you, for you not what you can give her materially.”

Maru let out a dejected sigh and then seen the salesman standing there. Pointing to Sango, Maru explained, “Bride-to-bes’ best friend.”

The man smiled sympathetically. “Let me guess, you plan on asking on...” He paused to read the other male, “Your anniversary?” Maru smiled sheepishly at him. “And when is the anniversary?”

“Monday.” Maru told him.

Ginning, the salesman said, “Alright, Best Friend and Future Husband, let’s find that perfect ring!”

Maru looked down at the rings, each one more different than the last, but in his mind at the moment, they had looked like all the other rings that he had seen that day. As he looked to the corner of the small display, there! A ring. Reaching for the ring, before touching it, he looked at the salesman and asked, “May I?” He only smiled and nodded. Picking the ring he held it, turning to Sango, he asked, “Will you marry me?”

Sango looked at him, in mock emotion, she held her hand over her mouth as she gasped. "I thought you'd never ask." Then she said, “I hope you will be more creative with your wording.” Taking the ring from him and modeled it on her own hand, her being the same size as Kagome also helped. “It’s gorgeous.” She said as she admired the gold band with a diamond accent in a double infinity design, a small emerald stone elegantly placed in the middle.

“Do you also do engravings?” Maru asked.

“We do, is there something specific you would like?”

“Four solidus zero one hyphen six solidus twenty seven; with the word KaRu.”

Sunday

Kagome, a young woman with raven colored hair and big gray eyes, knocked on the door of a house near the campus where she currently attended school. A few moment later, the door was opened by a rowdy young male. “Yeah, whad’ya want?” He asked rudely.

Not caring to dignify him with yelling at him for his rudeness, the young woman merely asked, “Maru, is he home?”

“Bastards’ up in his room.” He informed her, pointing with his thumb, over his shoulder.

Kagome thanked him, though he did not deserve her thanks, and walked up the stairs. She mused only slightly as she head the sounds of someone getting their happy on; loud moans and even louder banging of headboards against the wall. However, her brow started to furrow as she had gotten closer to Maru’s room, as the sounds only continued to get louder.

Walking over, she stopped at the threshold, as his door was opened, for the whole house to see, was Maru fucking another woman; lewdly and with absolute shamelessness. She stood there, horrified for what seemed like hours, but in reality, it was only a few moments.

Kagome could not understand why she was not screaming at him for cheating on her, the sadness seeming to be the more dominant emotion, as the tears painfully tingled at the back of her eyes. Unable to do or say anything, she turned and walked away. Shock inevitably settling over her.

However, after she had turned and walked away, she had not noticed a third person in that bed room, a third person with a camera.

Monday

Kagome had not slept that night, unable to get the images of her boyfriend screwing another woman out of her mind. How could he do this to her? And, the day before their anniversary?

That morning, at seven thirty, her alarm sounded, signaling her to get up and start her day. However, she all but hit the thing with a sledge hammer before getting out of her bed, as if she were a mindless zombie, and went down to the kitchen to fix herself something to eat.

She had continued like that, on auto pilot, throughout the day.

As she was sitting in her room later that evening, there was a knock on her door. In her semi-catatonic state, she looked toward her door before opening it, to reveal a young woman who looked almost exactly like her; her sister, Kikyo. Turning away, Kagome walked back over to her bed.

“Kagome?”

Somehow snapping out of her stupefied haze, she turned to Kikyo, “What?” She did not want to sound mean, but she could not help it. It seemed that every time she was happy, her sister would somehow find a way to ruin it for her.

“Are you going on a date with Maru?”

“Why do you want to know?” Kagome asked, her voice hard and emotionless.

Kagome was only half paying attention as Kikyo answered her. “I didn’t want to tell you this, but last night, I went to a party.”

“Get on with it, Kikyo, I really do not have the time for this, Maru will be here soon.” Kagome glared at her, though she wanted to vomit the moment she had said his name. Still not understanding why he would do that to her.

“That’s what I was trying to tell you. I saw Maru there. Kagome, he raped me.” Kikyo said, looking dejected.

“Get out of my room, Kikyo. Go pull your shit somewhere else.” Kagome said to her angrily, her eyebrows furrowed. Kagome watched as her sister left and closed the door. Once the door was closed, Kagome fell to her knees, her butt between her feet her face in complete shock. “My own sister?” Kagome breathed out; realizing that the woman she had seen with her boyfriend was her sister.

She had given him everything. He was her first serious relationship, he was also the one that she had given herself to first, wholeheartedly. It was not like she was going to deny him, hell, half the time she was the one that initiated the first move. So, why did he have to, of all people, sleep with her sister?

Downstairs, the doorbell rung, moments later, someone had called up, saying that her boyfriend was there. A few moments later, there was a soft knock on her door, signaling that he had come up to her room. He then proceeded to open the door before asking, “Are you decent?”

“Does it really matter?” She asked, viciously, still completely shell shocked at the realization that he had slept with her sister.

After a few moments, she decided to up her shock aside and feel angry for the time being. “How stupid do you have to be to make a stupid and idiotic decision like that?! I mean, of all people, why did you have to choose her?!”

She watched as he stuck his hands in his pockets of his dress pants.

“Are you really that insane? How could you not come to me?! I mean, I am your willing girlfriend! Sorry, ex-girlfriend. Get out!”Kagome demanded, pointing her finger towards her door, angrily, with tears filling her eyes.

Shocked himself, Maru could do nothing, except what she had asked. So he walked out of her room, down the stairs and out the front door. He dropped himself to the top of the steps, completely bewildered. What the hell just happened?

Shoving his hand into his pocket once more, he pulled out the ring that he had purchased two days ago; opening the box to stare at it. Not exactly understanding her reasoning for breaking up with him. Somehow, he knew that his relationship with her had ended that moment. But he did not want to believe it.

Anger seeping into him, for some unknown reason, he stood up, and determinedly walked back into the house and up to Kagome’s room before swinging the door open and slamming it as he had walked through. “What the fuck just happened?” he asked her pointedly.

“You didn’t get the hint that I never want to see you again? That doesn’t mean five fucking minutes later!” She screamed angrily at him. “In case you didn’t get it that time, I’ll tell you again. Get the fuck out! I don’t ever want to see you. Ever. Again. Period.”

“I got what you had meant, what I don’t understand is why?” Maru growled, just as angry.

“Kikyo.” Kagome spat.

Something hit the pit of his stomach when she said her sister’s name, leaving a foul taste in his mouth. When he tried to open his mouth to defend himself, she was quicker to interrupt him.

“Maru, I really don’t want to hear your excuses. I’m done. You don’t have the balls to come to your own girlfriend, when you need release, and to make matters worse the one that you decided to fuck happened to be my fucking sister. Then I am sorry, I don’t want to be with someone like that. Now, if you do not mind, I have studying to do.” Kagome said, turning from him; waiting and listening for him to leave.

Maru tried getting her to turn around and talk to him, letting him explain himself, but after some time of him calling her name and her completely ignoring him, he gave up and walked out of her room.

His heart unwilling to accept that his relationship with Kagome was over, but his mind telling him that it was fact, and that there was nothing that he could do or say to her that was going to make her change her mind.
