Why?

Disclaimer: I do not own the show Inu-yasha or any of it's characters, I simply enjoy writing fanfiction.

Love, a fickle thing, isn't it? The overwhelming pain, happiness, joy, sorrow, to accept this thing we call 'love', one must take all of these. Why? Why not just the good, why must we take the bad and maybe even leave the love we once sought? I guess we just can't have it that way, pitiful emotions some decided to cast away, maroon on a desert island and destroy the island and everything on it. To feel, to feel nothing, which is better? There would be votes for both, but a certain demon would choose the latter.

Ah yes, to feel nothing, to not wince at a massacre, to be able to dine among the dead, oh glorious day of days to be able to do this. To feel nothing but sorrow, only a taste of joy every now and then, what say you now? To not care about emotions, would it be better? Cast into a world where there are only two sides, to be a minute percentage of the population, a stray dog lost in the city, left to wander the streets, companions with him, but they are never really there.

The light of the new moon, shining down upon the this part of the world, almost as if highlighting something that should never have been. Cold, amber eyes meeting with furious brown ones, brothers, so close in their hatred for each other, so far in their love. Neither knew that this would change however, their worlds turned upside down, to feel things they didn't want to feel, emotions thrusted upon them. Whether it be a punishment or a gift, neither welcomed it.

A low growl came from the younger one, hair black as the dark as the blackest pitch, ears, same as everyone elses. Hair, platinum and shining from the light, ears pointed and able to hear the faintest beat of the heart coming from his sibling. The two exchange their usual banter, but the older one, he's here for a different reason. Not to fight, not to make amends for the pain he's caused the now human hanyou, but for one simple, primal reason...lust.

The human, shocked, scared, angry, and...excited? Lust, something we all feel, whether we like it or not. For as the animals have their mating seasons, so do the demons. Fortunately for the hanyou, it had little to no effect on him, for when this lust was strongest, he was human. The cold, handsome beauty that emitted from his brother it...excited him, made him want to do things he's never done to anyone or anyone's done to him...To actualy feel loved, to love, false to him, but real enough for him to want it.

The stoic lord, approaching his brother with the slightest hint of amusement in his eye's, hidden mostly by the lust he felt for him, caused the young one to back away, stopped only by a tree, which would've been torn down by him if it was not for his humanity. Cornered, pinned down, the warmth from the youkai's body warming the human's body and heart. Clang, the sound of the brother's swords dropping to the ground without care as the youkai's lips fell upon the younger siblings, eagerly accepted.

Why was he doing this, giving in to his brother, which his hatred was enflamed by so? Loneliness...Emptiness...Feeling he's hidden deep inside him, never to be shown to anyone, the pain he's felt, overwhelming him. Their lips parted only for second before they met again. They were anxious, excited, fueled by the lust they both felt for each other, the only thing dividing them, the thin layers of cloth, soon gone, as well as all inhibitions.

A moment to savor, the time to enjoy and indulge, met an end all too soon. Two hours...four, who knew how long they ravaged each other's body? The sun would be rising soon, signalling the end of their little fun. Embracing each other, the only thing covering them was each other's bodies. A gentle whisper, a soft kiss, the knowledge that the demon would meet again, a smile on the hanyou's face, a small ounce of happiness at last..."I'll be back, my dear brother..."
