He was perfect. Quiet, strong, brave, handsome.

I was far from perfect. Loud, overbearing, possessive, snide, and the list goes on...

He had perfect silver hair.

Mine turned black during that time of the month.

His eyes were the same as mine, although even that seemed to be different. But I know one thing I beat him at. I wasn't cruel. He was so cruel it could make you hurt simply thinking of it.

Although I would admit to being possesive at times, I could also let things go, and easily. Everyone thought that I was in love with Kagome. They were so sure, as was I. But then, Sesshomaru asked me if it was what I really wanted, to own a human for the rest of my life. The way his eyes twinkled, I should have known that he was up to no good. I should have known that all he truly cared about was fighting me.

See, he thought, that without Kagome there, I wouldn't stand a chance. How wrong he was. And it wasn't een because i was strong. The exact opposite, actually.

So now I sit under this tree, thinking of my brother. Why did he give up? He was so close to beating me, and I was at my breaking point, but he stopped. He took the Tensaiga, and hit me dead over the head with it. I thought it was to kill me, but when I woke up from the pain indiced sleep, I found myself in a fanc room, in the middleof none other than Sesshomaru's castle. I felt so alone. With all that was happening, I had thought he wanted me dead. Even though I realise that he probably just wanted to kill me when I wouldn't beg for him to end it.

But really, was this the first time Sesshomaru showed mercy, to me at least.

My thoughts were interupted by a small girl walking in, smiling at me brightly.

"My name is Rin. You are Lord Inuyasha, right?" At that my jaw dropped. Lord?

"No, it's just Inuyasha. Your name is Rin?" She smiled, nodding feverently.

"Why are you here?" I asked the child. She was so... cute.

"I live with Lord Seshomaru. He was very nice to me when no one else was. Was he nice to you, too?"

"No, why do you ask?" She smied mischievously, about to answer my question, when I heard the one person I could not face.

"Rin, this is my brother, Inuyasha. I wish to speak to him alone."

"Yes, master Sesshomaru!" She smiled, and ran inside. Sesshomaru walked over to me slowly, as if begging for me to try and get away from him. But, I didn't plan on trying to run away. Not yet, at least.

"I see you met Rin-" He went to fnish his sentence, but I stopped him.

"You are a horrid, horrid creature." I stated it as if it was the weather, simply glaring at him after.

"What?" He asked, perplexed by my sudden outburst.

I took in a breath, and looked my brother in the face for the first time in years, "She is a human. Do you plan to get rid of her?" It was posed as a question, but I did not mean it as one.

"No." I let out a breath I hadn't realised I'd been holding in, and glared at him.

"Liar." And I stood, walking back to the room I awoke in. Laying on the bed, I sighed. What was wrong with Sesshomaru? He never was kind to either Hanyous or Humans! Something was definitely wrong here.
