Arigatou to all who reviewed both of my fics!!!

DEDICATIONS: A LOT this time! O.o alandrem (arigatou for the review!!!), Harmony McKellin (Arigatou for the review!!! And you hate South Park? O.o I LOVE that show! I think it's sooo funny ^^), Inuyasha-kun (don't worry. I'm not going anywhere so I'll have plenty of fics that you can obsess over ^^ Sorry if I sound conceited. I'm not trying to be. But arigatou for reviewing both fics!!!), Lady Priestess (Arigatou for the review and for the words!! They sound a lot like "terminado" and "acabado" in spanish), Demon-Wolf (Arigatou for the review!! And about the sequel…I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think that fic needs a sequel), yana (arigatou for the review and for telling me who it was who said "my precious". I'm a Lord of the Rings fan but I forgot the guys name), Amaya Shinkuyoake (gomen about putting the English words next to the Japanese words. I just thought that was better because if you know right away what the word means than you can get the fic a whole lot better. It's better than having to go to the bottom of the fic and looking for the translation, rather than just have it there next to the word and not having to loose your place and loose the essence of the fic. But arigatou for the review!!!), Emmi-chan (arigatou for reviewing both fics!!!), DemonAni (formerly known as lilaznanigurl) (arigatou for reviewing both fics!! And how did you survive without my fics? ^^ j/k), ^^ (yup, that's the name the reviewer put in. Arigatou for the review and for telling me about Golem or however you spell it), Cherokey (*cries* yeah, my fic was almost perfect. I want them to be perfect! I'll never become a professional writer if they aren't perfect. *stops crying* But arigatou for reviewing both fics!!!), Hanyou Kells (I bet you I don't write better than you. I'll have to check out your fics to see. But arigatou for reviewing both fics!!!), DarkflamesSolitude (arigatou for the review!!!), LilFoxgirl (Yay! Another famous Inuyasha author who reviewed!! Thank you soo much for reviewing!! I DO love your fics and "Chaos at Camp" is getting SOOOO good. Keep going!!!), nekomon (arigatou for the review!!

I just need to do some research on the states), Lauren Williams (Arigatou for the reviews and I hope you come back to read more!!), telosphilos (A BIG arigatou to you because you gave me info on Florida!! Now I don't have to research that state! Do you live there? Or have you been there?), Inu-chan (I feel like I'm talking to myself ^^;; But arigatou for the review!!!), Vitani FyreWolf (arigatou for the review!!!), silenthopechik (a BIG arigatou to you for loving my fic so much. I didn't think it was going be liked so much. I thought it needed a bit more detail), usagipegusus (arigatou for reviewing!!!)

I want to separate two people from the reviews. First off there's Kimmy. This fic is ESPECIALLY dedicated to you because you wanted a Sesshoumaru fic and I already had one in mind. I'm not sure if I displayed him correctly though. Please tell me if you find him too OOC. I apologize if he is. I'm not much of a Sesshoumaru fan like a lot of people. My fav characters are only Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippou-chan (MY Shippou-chan!! *hugs him close* He's sooooo kawaii!!!!!!!!!!!).

Then there's Lightning-sama (of course) for her constant support of me. And Lightning-sama, no matter what translation book or online dictionary I used, the word "baita" means "bitch" in Japanese. It's kind of like me though. I'm fluent in spanish but there are words I don't know. And about the editing, I'm going to send you any fics that have Japanese phrases on them so you can help me to correct them. I guess you won't mind since you appear to like editing so much. I don't usually like it though when people edit my stuff (*hides* I'm not trying to be mean!!) It's just that I don't feel like I put my own effort into it. I'm too much of a loner when it comes to doing work. I like to do it without any help. But I have to admit that I'll need help with my Japanese phrases so my next fic I'll send for you to edit k? Arigatou for all the support you've given me!!!!

NOW you can go read the fic. So for the long dedication but I like to mention EVERYONE who reviews. People like it when they're mentioned (I know I do!!).

Disclaimer: I'll make this one short. I don't own Inuyasha. There.

Brotherly Love

By Inuyasha-loves-Kagome (A.K.A. Inu-chan)

~**~

Sesshoumaru sat down on the cool grass near the lake, the light breeze wafting his way and causing his beautiful hair to flutter to the side. How he despised such beauty! Having to watch a butterfly perch itself on a flower and look like a work of art disgusted him. He turned away from the scene, his emotionless face unchanging, though he felt anger deep inside him. He hated to show emotion. Emotions were weaknesses and he despised weaknesses.

He despised it as much as Inuyasha.

No one had ever asked him before why he hated his half-brother so much. Not that Sesshoumaru would tell them. Perhaps it wasn't even hate. He shook his head. No. It definitely wasn't hate. It was just disgust because he was half-human AND appeared to be the favorite to their father. Imagine! His father the great demon lord of the Western Lands choosing a weak hanyou over a great youkai son like him! It was enough to make his blood boil!

"Sesshoumaru-sama...?" a familiar curious voice asked him from his left. He didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. She was always with him, and he had realized (though never admitted) that when she was around, he didn't feel quite so angry at anything...not even Inuyasha.

He turned to look at her and smiled a ghostly smile. He would never smile anymore than that but it was a miracle he smiled at all. His tiny smile was left only for her, because she showed him that not all humans were bad, and that perhaps it was time to accept, rather than judge all the time. "What do you have there Rin?" he asked, although his voice was as emotionless as he was most of the time.

The tiny girl smiled brightly and held out a bouquet of flowers towards him. Her smile made everything glow. "Rin picked flowers for Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin wants Sesshoumaru-sama to be cheerful and smile more. RIn knows that he's a nice guy!"

He didn't know whether to take the flowers or not. He didn't want to show that he appreciated anything. Just because he had admitted to accepting some things, that still didn't change anything too dramatically. There was no way in hell that he was going to all of a sudden become some sort of human lover and do them favors. Other than Rin, humans were weak creatures who deserved to be moved far away from youkai. Separating the two species seemed to be the best thing for everyone. He stood up and began to walk away. "Come on Rin. Let's go."

Rin looked down at the lovely arrangement she had picked especially for him and she couldn't help but feel rejected. She had put her heart into making it just right but he didn't seem to care about them. She let them fall and walked slowly after him.

~**~

"Damned Kouga!" Inuyasha cursed for the millionth time that day. The bastard! Imagine! He came again because he wanted to flirt with Kagome! That's all he cares about when he comes! Always having to act all friendly towards her! How he had wanted to dig his claws into the wolf-youkai! He swore that if it hadn't been for Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha would have lost control and his human blood would have ebbed, making him into the deadly youkai that everyone feared.

He clenched his fists and tried to make the anger and hate go away. He didn't even know why he cared. It was just that every time Kouga came, Inuyasha knew the main reason for his "visit" and Inuyasha felt a strong emotion towards that. It was an emotion he had felt when Miroku had asked Kagome to "bear his child".

He clawed at a nearby tree and breathed to calm down. He needed to calm down! This was just too much for him. He should be concentrating on the Shikon no Kakera's anyways.

"Inuyasha..." a misty voice called out to him, sounding like it had come from everywhere. There was no definite source to the voice. His ears weren't able to pick up any source. He turned from side to side trying to see if there was anything strange. Perhaps a youkai was messing with him.

A ball of light began to surround him and Inuyasha took a step back. He had done it in fear and surprise but he hadn't realized that his step was so large. His back collided with a solid wall and he realized that the ball around him was a cage. It looked like a large bubble. Well, a large bubble wasn't going to trap him like some weakling! He took out Tetsusaiga and transformed it. Then he began to pound ferociously on the walls of the bubble, trying to break it.

"It's no use doing that Inuyasha," came the misty voice again. What did it want from him?

Another ball of light appeared but this time a figure materialized in the middle. It was a woman with long, silvery wings on her back. Her long, red hair cascaded down her back in waves and her bright green eyes showed more life that anyone Inuyasha had ever seen. She was smiling at him with soft, full pink tinted lips. Those lips parted and words began to pour out of her mouth as coolly as a river. "I'm sorry to have trapped you Inuyasha but I need to complete a mission. I know you would never have agreed to this willingly. Not many do."

Inuyasha growled and still tried to pound away at the walls. He yelled over the large noises he was making. "What do you mean by that wench?"

The mysterious woman's smile grew brighter and there was a lot of amusement there. "Ah Inuyasha, always the bad talker. Yet through all you do and all you love, you have been forgiven for everything. Bad events in one's life that were not caused by you must not be considered sins. What you do now is caused by those events but you have redeemed yourself through protecting your friends and caring for them."

Inuyasha had no idea what she was talking about, but he didn't complain. A feeling began to pass over him...one of peace and empty of guilt. His eyes felt heavy, and although he tried to keep them open, he couldn't. He let himself fall into unconsciousness.

The woman lifted her arms and in an instant, Inuyasha was gone. "I hope you can get over all your troubles. Your heart is so troubled and yet you are so young. One your age shouldn't have to go through such suffering. I hope this will at least lift one of the burdens that weigh heavily on your shoulders."

She then materialized into nothingness...

~**~

His head pounded and he felt weak all over. What had happened? All he remembered was that there was a woman in front of him who was sputtering meaningless crap in his face about accepting things in his life. But why did he feel weak? He had never felt like this in his whole life. Was this how human's felt when they were faced against a youkai? Did they feel powerless like this?

He moaned and scrunched his eyes, trying to force the heaviness of sleep away so that he could open them. Strange thing was that he heard someone else moan. And the voice sounded familiar.

He forced his eyes open, but there was darkness all around him. He couldn't see anything other than the light the moon gave, which wasn't much considering that it was blocked by clouds. He sat up and let his eyes adjust to the darkness. Damned eyes! he cursed. What the hell is wrong with them? They never take this long to adjust!

A familiar voice broke the silence of the wherever-the-hell-he-was. "Hello...? Is someone there?" He blinked. Had he heard right? Was that...Inuyasha?

He growled, but was surprised to find out that he couldn't make the familiar sound. He didn't bother with that at the moment though. "What are you doing here?" he asked, hoping, or not, that he was right.

He heard a low gasp and then an attempt at a growl. "What are you doing here, bastard?" Yup. It was Inuyasha all right. He could tell by the tone and the lack of vocabulary. "I asked you first," Sesshoumaru responded, keeping his voice expressionless as always.

"Feh. I don't have to tell you."

Sesshoumaru picked himself up from the ground and tried to make out where he was, where Inuyasha was, and maybe even what the hell was going on. But it was useless. His eyes felt different somehow, just like his body. Everything was weak and he hated it.

The moon was finally able to break away from the clouds and the light poured into what was later discovered as a cave. Sesshoumaru discovered that Inuyasha was in his pathetic human form but it was his expression that bothered him. His eyes had widened and his mouth was hanging open. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "Doushita?" What the hell was he gaping about?

Inuyasha narrowed his deep violet eyes and even pointed with his clawless finger. "Did you wish to be human or something?"

Sesshoumaru didn't like to have jokes played on him and this was the worst sort of joke. How dare he call me a human! They're weak insignificant beings! He tried to growl again but the sound was low and not as threatening as he was hoping. "Don't kid with me! I'd never do something that stupid!"

Inuyasha frowned deeply and turned his head away. "Feh! Fine then! Don't believe me! You should see for yourself. Your hair is black and you don't have the stripes on your face." What was keeping them from beating each other up to a pulp? Why hadn't they just fought right away? When they usually encountered each other, they started fighting even when there wasn't a reason. What was holding him back now?

Sesshoumaru knew that when he looked, he would see silver hair and not black like Inuyasha wanted to make him believe. But curiosity, a feeling he hated like so many others, made him gingerly reach back and pull a bit of hair forward so he could see.

What he saw made his eyes widen in disbelief.

He DID have black hair! And his hands didn't have claws or marks!

He turned to look at Inuyasha and saw that he was smirking with contempt at being right. "What the hell happened to me?" Sesshoumaru asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest stubbornly, and his smirk disappeared, leaving only a shadow. "How the hell should I know? I'm also wondering why I'm human when it isn't even the new moon."

Sesshoumaru didn't wait to hear anymore. Human or not, he was going to beat the crap out of his miserable half-brother! He charged forward and gripped his hand into a fist to at least try to punch him. He saw Inuyasha get into a ready stance and also clench his fists.

Sesshoumaru ended up colliding into the wall. He fell backward on his butt and cursed.

Inuyasha blinked and got out of his stance. What was that? He took a few steps forward and slowly reached out to touch where Sesshoumaru had collided. The tips of his fingers brushed against something solid, although there was nothing there. An invisible wall… he deduced.

Sesshoumaru stood up from the ground, his pride a bit damaged. "What's going on?" he yelled, not even noticing that as a human he was more emotional that when he was a youkai.

Inuyasha noticed that and pointed it out to him.

Inuyasha was seeing Sesshoumaru in a whole new light. He saw that as a human he was actually acting…like Inuyasha acted. Like right now he was making a fit by pounding the floor and yelling curses that only Inuyasha would say. Things like, "You bastard! I bet you did this!" or "What the hell is going on?"

Sesshoumaru calmed down and finally realized that he was overreacting. A thought struck him and he turned around to see the entrance of the cave. He grinned evilly. Well, there was a wall that was preventing Inuyasha from getting to him, so he bet that Inuyasha couldn't get to the entrance of the cave. He turned back to look at Inuyasha, the smirk never leaving his face. "Seems you're out of luck, brother," he said, pronouncing brother like it was a disgusting word.

Inuyasha's eyes widened with realization. He growled and clenched his fists. "Damn you, you bastard!"

Sesshoumaru turned away from him and began walking towards the entrance of the cave.

He didn't anticipate that the entrance was blocked as well. Just like when he tried to attack Inuyasha, he was sent down on his butt. Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at him. He clutched his stomach and howled with laughter. It was so much that he was sent to the floor, still laughing like a crazy hyena.

Sesshoumaru stood up for the third time that day and glared. "Urusai, baka!"

Inuyasha continued to laugh. "Haha—it's just that—haha—you fell—hehe—on your butt—HAHA!"

Sesshoumaru couldn't say anything since all he could do was curse and throw a fit. He pouted and walked over to sit on a rock and sulk. Damn that Inuyasha. Laughing at me like a baka!

Once his giggles were down, Inuyasha wiped the tear that was forming from the laughing he had done. He walked over and also sat on a rock. His face then grew serious when he remembered everyone. They're probably worried about me. He turned his face away and frowned. Serves them right. Especially Kagome. I had forgotten about the flirting that she had been doing with that bastard wimpy wolf Kouga. And then Miroku, Sango, and Shippou naturally sided with her, saying that she wasn't flirting. Yeah right! My ass she wasn't flirting! She was batting her eyelashes at him and thanking him for helping! That counts as flirting!

He remembered the scene well:

**Begin Inuyasha's imagination (his overreacting imagination)**

Kagome ran towards Kouga with a smile on her beautiful face. "Oh Kouga," she said as she made her eyes look all innocent. "Thank you so much for helping us today. I really appreciate it."

Kouga was also running towards her and he looked ready to take her in his arms and even kiss her. He stopped when they had reached each other in the middle and he had a smug look as he looked at his nails. "Well, it was no problem. I AM naturally stronger than that tog-turd."

Kagome then jumped into his arms and they shared a passionate kiss.

**End of Inuyasha's imagination (his overreacting imagination)**

Inuyasha pounded his fist into the rock and then winced when a sharp pain ran up his arm. He forgot that as a human he couldn't pound anything and expect it to crumble to pieces. And that usually made him feel semi-better too!

"You're a fool," Sesshoumaru said in the familiar emotionless voice. Looks like he's acting like his old self again Inuyasha concluded. "Yakamashii (tsu)!" he then yelled and turned his face away.

Yet Sesshoumaru couldn't contain his thoughts to himself. "I wonder if Naraku is behind all of this…"

"Feh." Inuyasha couldn't help but add to that. "If he was then he would have come here to destroy us while we were unconscious. Besides, he wouldn't be smart enough to think up of such a thing."

Was it just the fact that he was human or was it something else that was causing him to agree with Inuyasha? Either way he nodded and then went back to brooding. But then, who put us in here and why did they turn us into humans? If it was for revenge, then why didn't they just kill us when we were unconscious like Inuyasha suggested? Or are they trying to torture us?

There was a long silence between the two of them, neither knowing what to say. They had spent their whole life fighting each other that conversation was never a problem. All they would do was fight and curse at each other (or rather Inuyasha would curse and Sesshoumaru would insult him).

"Oi," Inuyasha said to break the silence and at least try to get along for now. "What do you think someone should do when there's a guy who likes a girl, but there's another guy who hates it that he likes her? But he doesn't understand why he gets so worked up over it?"

Inuyasha expected Sesshoumaru to stay silent or even say something along the lines of "Don't even talk to me", but he actually decided to say something. "Well, I'd suggest that the guy who gets so worked up over it should just get it through his thick skull that he likes the girl and that's why he freaks out."

Inuyasha knew that Sesshoumaru didn't know about the whole "Kagome and him being confused about his feelings" situation, so he didn't get angry by the rude advice. He decided to think about things and try to see if what he said was right.

"And what do you say," Sesshoumaru attempted at the stream of conversation, "to someone who used to hate humans but then along comes this little kid that shows him that humans aren't so bad?"

"I'd say that perhaps he's learning to accept what he didn't want to before."

Again there was silence as both thought about the (^^;;) semi-advice they had just been given.

I get so worked up about it because I can't stand the sight of Kagome with that wimpy wolf. Perhaps I am falling for her…

Thanks to Rin I now understand humans a little bit better. And she helps me to understand them even more little by little…Maybe they aren't so bad after all…

~**~

They had spent the day brooding and occasionally seeking advice from one another when something was bothering them. Both came to the conclusion that perhaps the only reason they were getting along was because they were both human.

But how long WERE they going to be human? A day? A month? A year?

…Forever?

~**~

Outside of the cave were two woman watching everything unfold before them. The one with the long red hair turned to the one with long black hair. "It seems our plan is working. They're finally getting along."

The one with black hair nodded. "And once they understand that brother's shouldn't fight, we'll let them out and turn them back to normal."

They agreed and materialized away into nothingness…

To be continued…

Eep! I didn't mean for this to be more than one chapter! I really didn't!! It was just that I got a bit of writer's block so I decided to end it there and try to think up of more things that should happen.

But I hope you're liking it so far! There's isn't too much fluffiness (gomen!) but next chapter there will be (and it's NOT between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru) ::shudders:: A brother/brother fluff fic is just wrong. This fic is ONLY to help Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha understand that they shouldn't fight.

Is the term for friend/friend or sibling/sibling fics "waff"? Fics like those are about love but not the romantic kind. *scratches head* Is it "waff"?

Well, I'll see you in the next chapter! Inu/Kag fluffiness coming but it isn't the central part of the fic.

And the next part is the last part. This isn't a long fic (it was actually supposed to be a one-shot )

Oh! And…PLEASE REVIEW!!!!

**************************************************************

Japanese terms used:

Some like youkai and hanyou should look familiar so here are the one's that don't:

Yakamashii = I read it from the Inuyasha manga (Vol 15) that Inuyasha said this in chapter 3. Chris-sama translated it as "Shut up!" So let's go with that k? Though the word also had "tsu" at the end…

Urusai = Another form of saying "Shut up!"

Hanyou = okay, decided to translate for those new to Inuyasha. It means "half-demon".

Youkai = demon

Baka = Idiot, stupid…let's just say it's an insult.

Oi = Hey

Doushita = What's wrong?
