Summary: Inuyasha's all alone, and his brother comes to finally meet him.

Some say all is well that ends well, or something like that. I never really understood it. Does it have to be well to end well, does it have to start well? God knows I didn't have a great start, so that must mean I won't have a great end doesn't it. I'm only a child, yet I can feel that this is just the beginning. The beginning of hateful glances, and hurtful words. Its not going to get any better from what I can tell, but I am but a child, my vision could be clouded.

There is a man dressed in white approaching, his silver mane reminds me of my own hair in a way, but mine holds a darker tint to it. His golden eyes are leveled on me, glaring uncaringly at my form. I can't help but shiver at his expression. Before I know it this man is standing in front of me, his form towering over mine.

"Who-who are you?" I question softly, I feel I know him, almost comforted by his presence.

"This Sesshomaru is your half brother." His voice holds less emotion than his expression.

I bounce up and down giddily, maybe this world won't be so uncaring, I muse briefly, grasping his kimono between my tiny fingers, the fabric running through my hands, its soft, a softer material then I've ever had the pleasure of feeling. Before I can think of what I am doing, my hand is tugging at the fabric, trying to bring it closer to me.

"Half breed." He snarls, and my comfort from his presence leaves me, instead replaced by a chill. "Get your filthy hands of this Sesshomaru's kimono."

I don't really comprehend his words instead I tighten my grasp on his sleeve. "What was pa like brother?" I don't know his name, mom never spoke of me having a brother, but I know he isn't lying about being my brother. I've always known someone would care for me, even when it didn't seem possible.

"Half brother," his voice is threatening, and I wonder what I've done wrong. "There is only one thing saving your life, half breed. And that's this Sesshomaru's promise to our father."

I don't remember him mentioning his promise to my father, but I do remember his hateful glances, and hurtful words. My life will be full of those, for that I am now sure, and I will never accept that I have a brother again.
