lostmoonchild: Okay, I decided to post this story. It's Sesshomaru's thoughts on his half brother. I tried to keep it as close to what Sesshomaru would think as I could but I really got to thinking about Sesshomaru's actions when I saw that he keeps having the chance to kill Inuyasha but doesn't take it and that he even helps Inuyasha sometimes. Anyway, I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters.

Half Demon Brother

Father died protecting you and your human mother, half-breed. If he hadn't met your mother and had you, he needn't have died. His blood that flows through your veins wouldn't be disgraced. Because of me, our father's PURE demon son, his blood isn't completely disgraced. I am powerful whereas you, half-breed, are weak.

So why, half demon, is it when we fight that I come close to killing you then back off? That human wench who cries out your name, is that the reason? Or is it that strange feeling, that need, to teach you? What power do you hold over me?

We share the same looks sometimes. Both determined, silver hair, golden eyes… probably the same build. I am taller, more patient and silence. You, half demon, have much to learn about patience and silence. Chances are, you are still learning. After all, you're only two hundred years old, a pup still. Nobody expects a pup to be fully mature just yet.

But I expect you to understand. Father's blood flows in your veins. How you act reflects upon our father and our family. Believe it or not, half demon, we are all that remains of the Inutaisho line. You and I must find a mate to carry on the line. That will be the next lession

You do not realize quite yet that I, Lord Sesshomaru, am teaching you. Subconsciously, you might realize it but we both tell ourselves that I am trying to kill you. That we hate each other when in truth, we have a love only brothers can possibly have.

I truly didn't expect father to have a lesson for us both to learn. Working together was how you and I can even hope to destroy our enemy. By working together can we defeat Naraku.

Half demon, by learning of you did I learn to be the older brother you could depend on. The one who would teach you everything you needed to know. But sometimes I have to make sure you don't get the feeling that I won't hesitate to look down upon you because you're my brother. So we fight. We fight each other and I teach.

Half demon, because of you our father is dead. Your birth resulted in his death. I will always detest you for his dying, but part of me will love you as an older brother, your remaining family should.

But whatever you do, don't think for a minute that I won't kill you if I need to. I will since you're nothing more to me than my half demon brother.

lostmoonchild: Yeah, probably not very good but oh well. I like romance stuff better although I'm not the kind of girl who likes reading mushy stuff. Weird, ain't it? Anyway, read and review, flames are accepted.
