Inuyasha: Young
Chapter 1: Sesshomaru VS Inuyasha
Author's Note: Starts in Inuyasha's POV and most likely will be that way for most of the chapter. Anyway, enjoy! Don't judge, it's my first Inuyasha fanfic! ;)
Sesshomaru had come after me not that long ago. I don't know what he wants. We've fought like this for a long time now. Kagome has tried and failed multiple times to get us to stop fighting. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo gave up trying to get us to stop and are sitting at a safe distance and watching, ready to intervene if need be.
Kagome runs up to me, flailing her arms and shouting at the top of her lungs for me to stop, threatening to use the "sit" command if I don't stop. But I'm not listening to her right now. I smell something off. I'm guessing Sesshomaru can sense it, too? I stop swinging at my older brother with my sword and we both look towards the East.
My ears flatten against my head out of fear, I sense a presence with great power, and not one I want to mess with. Nothing has genuinely scared me like this since I was a kid, so whatever this is must be bad. A strong miasma filled the air, and I pushed Kagome out of the way of the strongness of it. I coughed, dropping to my knees. This miasma is going to kill me! I thought, tears sliding down my cheeks as the miasma was irritating my eyes. I felt like I couldn't breathe, the air was hot and like smoke. Where's dad? The odd thought clouded my mind as I began searching for my long-dead father desperately.
Suddenly, among the dense smoke, I felt someone pick me up and hold me in their arms. Although that shouldn't even be possible, I did not think about it. I just cuddled up to the warmth of the person's chest, all other thought or doubt completly erased from my mind at that moment.
Sesshomaru's POV- I thought it had been odd that my brother had pushed that girl, Kagome, out of the way. I could sense that the miasma was strong, but I had noticed fear overtake my little brother. Though it's strange to admit it, I was frightened of this strange presence, too. Before the smoke cleared, I looked around. I could see the sky above, but I couldn't see anything around me except a few feet from my face. Come to think of it, when have I ever been this short? With shock, I have realized that I am not of my normal size, or rather- age. My body now is of a twelve year old child. I walk around before stumbling across a shaking form in red clothing. With ears at the top if his head.
My brother...? Why he only looks to be the age of a six year old child! I pick him up, and he just cuddles up against me. I am afraid that he'll open his eyes. I don't want him to see me like this. I don't even think he wants to be seen like this. With a small sigh, I plop down onto the ground and wait for the maisma to clear.
Inuyasha's POV- Eventually the person holding me stands up, and I hear multiple gasps from nearby. My ears twitched when many different voices were around me like wildfire and I hesitantly opened my eyes. The first person I saw was Kagome. She looked very shocked, although even worse than I had been when I realized what age I had been turned into. Next to her was Miroku and Sango, and standing closest to me was Shippo, who was about as tall as the person carrying me.
As a matter of fact, who is carrying me? I looked up, and was shocked to see my older brother's face peering down at me. I let out an alarmed squeak and started to squirm in his grasp. Sesshomaru, looking very troubled, handed me over to Kagome.
Kagome's POV- I stare down at young Inuyasha. Shippo is the first to break the silence, "So what're we gonna do now?" I look up at Miroku and Sango, I myself having no answer.
