Summary: A messenger from his family had come to invite Inuyasha to attend his family reunion in the west. It needn't be told that Inuyasha wasn't too pleased about it. However, he had decided to go after all because he wanted to make it clear to them that he wanted absolutely nothing to with the family anymore but does it happen the way he wanted it to? Eventually Sesshomaru/Inuyasha(Incest)
Fangirl's notes: My mum bought my younger sister Inuyasha DVDs for her birthday, so out of boredom I watched with her. I have to admit, initially I wasn't so thrilled about it as she was until I discovered the potential between the two half-brothers. Although, I am a Boy's Love fangirl, I usually don't go for incest but Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are too cute to not be paired together!!!!
Please R/R. I appreciate all constructive criticisms but ridiculous flames will be ignored and laughed at.
Prologue – The messenger from afar
Kagome peered out of the window and watched Inuyasha who sat cross-legged on a tall tree outside the window. With his back facing her, she couldn't see the expression on his face but she knew he must be very furious.
"He's still there?" Kagome was so preoccupied with watching Inuyasha that she didn't realise Sango approaching her. Slightly startled, she nodded at the demon-slayer in response. Sango was holding Kirara in her arms and stroking it while Shippo tailed closely beside her, crossing his arms.
"It's been nearly eight hours. How long does he intend to stay out there. Although demons practically don't catch colds but with so many things cropped up inside of him, he might actually end up with internal bleeding." Shippo jumped up and hooked himself on the window ledge and peered at the half-demon.
"Inuyasha's silence is actually more unnerving than his rather rambunctious display of anger." Miroku joined his companions in front of the window. "However, this time I would rather have him break something."
"Do you think he would go to the western territory and attend the family reunion?" Kagome asked, keeping her voice low despite knowing that Inuyasha wouldn't be able to hear her.
"I doubt it." The other three said in unision. Even Kirara seemed to shake its head.
"The look on his face clearly said so this afternoon." Shippo lowered himself to the floor and hugged himself with a frightened look. "When the messenger from the western territory told him about the reunion, he had torn the letter in half immediately and even swung the Tetsusaiga at him. I could swear the destruction it created was ten times of its usual power. The dog demon would be cut into half himself if he hadn't jumped away in time."
"Then, he had been quiet." Miroku added with a sigh. "I couldn't blame him for being angry with his family. Although, he had not explicitly revealed to us details of his family in the west but from the bits and pieces we have gathered. And, the way things are with Sesshomaru, we can safely conclude that things never went well."
"I wonder why they would want Inuyasha at their family reunion after so many years of ignoring him?" Kagome said in a quiet voice.
Miroku shrugged. "The reason alludes me." He then tilted his head at Inuyasha's direction. "And, him too."
Myriad of thoughts flowed through Inuyasha's mind at the moment until it was almost too painful to think. He clasped his hand over his throbbing temple and recalled about the unpleasant event earlier this afternoon.
Kagome just came back from the modern world and they were about to resume their journey to search for the jewel shards when they heard of cries by the villagers that a demon had infiltrated the village.
As expected, he had his companions had rushed to their aid, only to catch a whiff of a familiar scent. He initially thought his half-brother Sesshomaru had come for whatever evil plans he had cooked up. He had his hand on his sword and was bracing himself for a fierce fight but as he got closer to the village entrance, he had sensed no malice in the demon's aura and that the demon itself wasn't even Sesshomaru.
He approached the demon who maintained its demonic form which was actually a dog demon, and sniffed the air. He felt his blood boil when he recognized the scent. The dog demon was from his 'family', no wonder he smelled like Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha unsheathed his sword and pointed threateningly at the dog demon, shouting profanities. While the dog demon upon seeing him, dismissed its demonic form quickly in a cloud of smoke and re-emerged human-like.
"I came with a message from the Lady of the West." The messenger had addressed himself as such. "You are hereby requested to attend the three thousandth family reunion upon her orders."
Inuyasha scarcely remembered that the dog demon had said something else before he handed him a letter and he had overcome with a rage so great that he had torn the letter and swung the sword at the dog demon. He had wounded the messenger, the small pool of blood that had left behind after he leapt away was proof enough. He felt a small tug of guilt at his conscience but he quickly reprimanded himself inwardly for having such thoughts. He reminded himself of their unkindness. Especially the old hag who called herself the Lady of the West after his father died.
Despite the emotional turmoil he was experiencing inside him, the scent of instant ramen managed to make the tip of his nose twitched. He looked back and saw Kagome holding a steamy bowl of his favourite brand of noodles.
He jumped down and stood before her sniffing at the bowl she was holding.
Kagome smiled. "Dinner."
He took it from her and sat down to devour the noodles. It didn't take him more than a moment to devour everything as all the anger and thinking had worked up his appetite.
"This is great!" Inuyasha made a sigh of content before lowering the bowl to the ground.
Kagome sat down beside him. "I'm glad you are feeling better."
Inuyasha looked away and replied defiantly. "I am not bothered."
"It's okay." Kagome said, as she ruffled his hair.
"It's not okay." Inuyasha said in a quiet voice and didn't even object to her treating him like a dog. His expression was darkened. "It's not okay."
Kagome retrieved her hand and looked at him worriedly. "Inuyasha?"
"I will go and this time I'll make sure that they know I am not to be messed with, ever." Inuyasha stood up and balled up his fist. His eyes gleamed resolutely at the clear night sky.
