Hello everyone, this is my first fic I'm so excited. Please dont get made at me if I don't update often I had my internet taken away from me and it hasn't been returned so I have to use the computer at my school or my friends. I will try to update every week at least until the end of the school year.:(

Anyway shouts out to my muse and personal storyboard artist Silver Cheetah. Her storyboards should be available soon.

Disclaimer:I wish I owned InuYasha but unfortunately he nor any of the other characters are mine

"Nii-chan, Nii-chan! Sessho, help! Help me nii-chan" InuYasha was running, running down a long hallway. It was the middle of the night and he was scared. InuYasha would never forget that sight.

Flashback

It was dark now and InuYasha had just finished eating with Sesshomaru in the kitchen. He had decided that he would find the reason behind his father's absence at dinner.

InuYasha crept quietly to the large door he had been told to stay away from. Today InuYasha decided to ignore this decree. Slowly InuYasha pushed open the door but inside was not the splendor he had always expected inside his father's bedroom.

Instead of the luxuriant silks and exotic furs that should have covered a large bed or the beautiful tapestries that covered all of the castle walls. Instead of the solid oak table at which his father would have conducted his many diplomatic meetings, surrounded by the chairs with cushions his wife had made before she died.

No, none of the things met InuYasha's eyes. Behind the door the walls and floor were splattered with blood and a body lay half on half off what was left of the bed. Around the body, blood had pooled, matted the once silver hair, making the body near to unrecognizable. InuYasha saw all the chaos, the overturned table and chairs, claw marks on the wall hangings and his father's body. Turning away he ran down the hall towards the only one his twelve year old mind could trust. His brother.

Sesshomaru had just stepped out of the shower, drying his hair, when he heard the scared screams of his little brother. Ripping open his door, Sesshomaru ran out looking for his little brother.

Then from up above, he was attacked by a masked figure. Taken by surprise Sesshomaru was over powered but still had the advantage of his poison claws. Bringing his left hand up (yes he has both arms) he raked his claws across the face of his attacker.

Reeling from the attack, the masked man stumbled back away from Sesshomaru. While his attacker was off balance Sesshomaru took the chance he saw and slammed him into the wall, his right hand around the man's throat.

"Speak!" ordered Sesshomaru "who sent you?"

At first the masked man said nothing but when Sesshomaru increased his pressure around the man's throat he managed to croak, "I'll never reveal the name of my Lord. Even if I die more will come and they will do to you what I did to your father."

This confused Sesshomaru, if this man hadn't been able to beat him how could his father have fallen to this man? What had he done to father? No matter, this man had attacked and Sesshomaru wasn't about to let that happen again. With one flex of his hand he separated the man's head from his body. Letting the head drop to the floor Sesshomaru turned in the direction he had heard his brother's voice. 'I'm coming InuYasha' and with that thought started off down the hallway

InuYasha was really scared now. No one was answering him, not Sesshomaru or even any of the numerous servants his family employed. Glancing down the hallway that lead to the kitchen InuYasha saw a bright light where the door was supposed to have been. InuYasha stood for a moment, completely entranced by the swirling yellow, white and pink until a moment later he heard footsteps approaching from his right.

Scared as he was InuYasha wasn't taking any chances. He hunkered down as close to the wall as his tiny body could take him and waited for whomever it was to pass him. Squeezing his eyes shut, InuYasha prayed the person wouldn't notice him but even as that thought went through his head the footsteps stopped.

Looking up InuYasha was filled with relief to find it was none other than Sesshomaru. No longer afraid InuYasha threw himself into his brother's arms and spilled out the story of the last couple hours.

"He was just lying there. He was so still and all the blood" InuYasha was close to tears again, still overwhelmed by the death of his father.

"Are you sure he was dead and not just sleeping InuYasha?" asked Sesshomaru thinking maybe his brother had had a bad dream. However he knew deep down inside that it was not the case considering what his attacker had confessed. InuYasha at that point had succumbed to tears and had buried his face in Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru was slightly unnerved since he had never been good with tears no matter how close to his brother he could claim to be.

Looking around in search of someone to take the bubbling InuYasha away and console him, Sesshomaru finally spotted the bright light InuYasha had seen earlier. Shaking his little brother to gain his attention Sesshomaru never looked away from the light. "Have you ever seen anything like that before?"

"No," answered InuYasha. "Maybe it's one of those portal thingys from the storybook father got me last week." At the mention of his father, InuYasha broke down again. "He's not here anymore and he never will be. He'll never read the rest of that book to me."

Sesshomaru couldn't stand it anymore, "Go get the book and I'll finish reading it to you." By now Sesshomaru was quite annoyed with the way his brother was carrying on and knew he had to calm InuYasha or he himself would blow.

"No! You're not father! It wouldn't be the same!" At this point InuYasha broke away from Sesshomaru's grasp and ran, tears streaming down his face, blurring his sight.

"InuYasha come back, not that way, you don't know where that leads." Shouted Sesshomaru.

Unbeknownst to InuYasha he had made his mad dash towards the bright swirling ball of light. Realizing this InuYasha tried to stop but his feet slipped. Screaming InuYasha fell forward and was lost in the light.

"InuYasha!" Sesshomaru ran towards the ball of light, then around it wondering if indeed it was a portal. Either way, his brother had gone through and Sesshomaru knew he had to get InuYasha back. Jumping through the portal now, Sesshomaru hoped that he would end up where his brother was.

So what you think? Please review and let me know :)
