Okay this is my first fic. So be gentle.

DISCLAIMER: Me poor, me no own Inuyasha or any other characters, please don't sue!!

A/N: This is sorta AU cause it's set in the past and I'm changing their childhood a bit to the way I like it (where sesshy is nice), so deal.

Chapter 1 Waiting

A young demon boy watched as his father, the great demon lord InuTaisho, paced back and forth. With his heightened senses he could hear the screams and gasps of his step-mother but did not know what was going on. Being just 6 years old, Sesshomaru assumed she was either dying or in great pain.

"Father," He questioned, looking the fierce demon in front of him with soft amber eyes.

"Yes, Sesshomaru?" He answered shortly. InuTaisho shuddered as his wife, Lady Izayoi, gave another cry of pain.

"Why is she screaming? Doesn't she know it hurts our ears?" He looked up innocently at his father while his small hands clutched at his ears.

"She's having a pup, Sesshomaru. A little brother or sister for you, she can't help it." The Great InuYoukai lord explained in his gruff voice. Sesshomaru nodded even though he was still utterly confused. InuTaisho quickly took to pacing again until the faint smell of blood filled both demons' noses.

Sesshomaru scrunched up his face and his father ran to the door, almost breaking it down as he barged in. No one could keep this youkai lord from his mate, especially when the scent of her blood filled the air. His eyes immediately found his beloved. Izayoi was lying on silken sheets, gleaming with sweat and yet smiling all the same. In her arms was a tightly wrapped bundle. She looked down at it for a second before offering it up to InuTaisho for his viewing.

Carefully the Lord lifted his youngest child from its mother's arms and brought it to his chest. All around him Izayoi's ladies-in-waiting rushed around and he barely noticed one of them ushering him out the door. He went over and took a seat on a cushion next to his eldest.

"Look Sesshomaru," He instructed as he pushed the silk away from the baby's face. Sesshomaru stood up and leaned over one of his father's arms for a better look.

"Is he my brother??" Sesshomaru looked down on the chubby round face.

"Yes,"

"Why is he only half-demon then??" The inquisitive youngster looked to his Otou for answers.

"He is wonderful, no matter what is in his blood," InuTaisho replied. Choosing to disregard that question and give an answer that praised this new addition the way he should be praised.

"What's his name Otou??" Sesshomaru asked as his eyes roamed over the silver hair, identical to his own, and dog ears that adorned the young face.

"Inuyasha.......... His name is Inuyasha."

A/N: Sorry so short. Tell me what you think and I'll put up the next chappie. I only want one review but more is just fine with me!!! Yours truly;)
