I do not own Inuyasha, all characters cept mine belong to Rumiko Takahashi. Beyond that please enjoy

Inuyasha's ears perked up, something was in the bushes behind the tree he was sleeping against. Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and shippo were all asleep around the campfire. Inuyasha's time of the month was nearing so he had been awake all night. Turning into a human complicated things, he always felt so... powerless. No claws, no Tetsusaiga, at lease not the awakened version. He couldn't do anything to protect his friends... or Kagome. Kagome stirred and sat up. She turned to the white haired half-demon.

"Still up eh?" she got up and started to walk off. Inuyasha stood up to go with her. She turned around and looked at him "what?" he looked at her as if he didn't care.

"Just need to know where your going." He looked away from her then felt her warm hand across his cold cheek.

"Jeez can't a girl go to the bathroom without having the 3rd degree on her" and she stormed off. Inuyasha sat down steamed that he was trying to protect her and he gets slapped. and What The Hell Was The 3rd degree! He had just leaned against his tree when the bushes rattled again Inuyasha took no chances he growled and unleashed Tetsusaiga with a powerful side swing the tree was cut and half the bushes were too. The tree creaked and fell right next to Miroku. The monk sat up, rubbed his eyes, and sighed.

"It's always the same with you huh? Never hey Miroku, Sango, Kagome there might be something here. No instead it's cut down the tree so it wakes everyone up" Sango had just stood up as well pulling her Kimono back over her shoulder, it had fallen down while she was asleep. Miroku quickly peeked over her other shoulder enough to see a small portion of her breast. He smiled and whispered "They are quite supple huh?" Sango's fist interrupted his view he fell without a sound. Sango turned around.

"Ya know you chastise Inuyasha about being obsessed with his enemy's when you quite clearly only think about my boobs." Miroku held a finger in the air.

"That not quite true I also think about your-" His voice was cut off by Sango's foot. She looked over to Inuyasha with her boomerang ready.

"K. What's the trouble?" Inuyahsa held his sword steady. Jaken's head was almost taken off when he stood up but his stave was halved instead. Inuyasha was in a rage, he that if Jaken was here that surly meant-

"So little brother, bit slow on the draw? Or is it that you don't have the stones to kill pathetic little Jaken?" Shessomaru was careful not give his location away. Inuyasha was now furious

"Come out you slimy bastard! Wind Scar!" Dozens of trees toppled from Tetsusaiga powerful wind attack.

"Tsk tsk little brother would you really want to hurt this?" He stepped out from the darkness holding Kagome by the throat. His claws had sunk into her skin, little drops of blood ran down her neck. "Now lets make a trade. The Tetsusaiga for the girl. What do you say little brother?" Inuyasha was out of options. He couldn't unleash the Wind Scar or the Backlash Wave without killing Kagome in the process. Nor could he give up the Tetsusaiga to his brother who would kill them all the moment he got it anyway. What to do? He thought.

"Fine" he let the Tetsusaiga fall into the ground Shessomaru gave a toothy smile. He dropped Kagome she ran to Inuyasha. Shessomaru reached out with his human arm and grasped the Tetsusaiga. Blood splattered. His human right arm had just been cut clean at the elbow. Shessomaru looked into the tree about 20 feet away. Inuyasha stood there confused.

"Come out of that tree... half-breed. Poison talons!" He threw poison into the base of the tree. Within seconds the base of the tree dissolved and the tree fell and a young man roughly 17 jumped to the ground. He had black hair, wore nothing on his chest, but his lower body was covered in black samurai armor. A scabbard and sword lay at his left hip. Gripping the handle was his right hand which was covered by a black gauntlet his other hand was bear with sharp claws protruding. A single canine tooth could be seen from his smirk. "And what would filth like you want with me? Or are you here to save my pathetic half-brother?"

The man looked to Inuyasha who was blocking Kagome from any harm. He spit "I have nothing to gain or lose wasting time "saving" people Shessomaru you know that." his smile grew wider revealing more teeth. "I've just come to kill you, if that means helping your brother so be it. Oh and don't think this will end like last time" Kagome and Inuyasha could see the fresh scar that ran from his right breast to his left hip. Kagome could see the defined shape of his abs. He looked pretty good for being mortally wounded just a little while ago. she thought. "I've come across a new weapon that makes yours look like a little girls toy." Inuyasha saw his chance and lept to grab the Tetsusaiga, Shessomaru kicked at him, but Inuyasha nimbley dodged with a quick roll. He grabbed his sword and stood facing both his brother and the new competitor. The man cracked his knuckles before pulling his sword out. It looked like a regular blade nothing special to it. Shessomaru sighed and brought out Tensaiga.

"Well, well how nice." A man riding a 3 eyed cow appreaed in the middle of all three of them "All 3 of the sacrred blades I made are all in the same place" he smiled. Inuyasha looked at him confused along with Shessomaru.

"3?"
