Disclamer: i dont own inuyasha or his cut fluffy ears

how the mighty fall

Inuyasha yawned and leaned up against a tree lazily. Kagome was boiling a pot of water for some ramen, Sango was polishing her boomerang and Miroku was recouping after another slap to the cheek. They had just eliminated another demon and they all felt that they needed a rest. Inuyasha was content to rest against the tree until his ramen was done but he caught a whiff of a certain scent. His eyes immediately snapped open and his hand went to the hilt of tessaiga. Sango, miroku and kagome had noticed the sudden change in him and they grew tense. "What is it inuyasha?" Miroku spoke.

"Sesshomaru" Inuyasha spit out between gritted teeth. Then, his golden orbs widened in confusion. He blinked. "Huh?" is friends looked at him in confusion. "It's the scent of blood. And…fear" Inuyasha said. Kagome jumped up and quickly packed up her things. "Let's go, if Sesshomaru is afraid then we have a good reason to be too." Kagome said in a determined tone as kilala transformed. "Keh, what makes you think that because he's scared means that we have to be?"

"Because Sesshomarus a proud demon, he wouldn't show fear if his life depended on it." Kagome replied in a worried tone. "I agree with kagome inuyasha, we should go investigate" sango said while she and miroku climbed up on kilala. "Oh alright." They took off.

The scent of blood had been growing steadily stronger. Strong enough so that even Shippo, with his untrained abilities could smell it. Inuyasha landed in a clearing and the sight that met them was horrific. In the clearing stood two inuyoukai in there true forms. One of them was very easily recognized, as sesshomaru, the other with its jet-black coat, was unknown.

Sesshomarus silvery fur was matted with blood and he was cowering, yes the lord of the western lands cowering, in a corner while the other inuyoukai advanced upon him. Sesshomaru was a great deal smaller than this new dog demon.

And its feral black eyes gleamed with bloodlust. As inuyasha and the other quickly realized, sesshomaru was at a very great disadvantage. Not only the size, but also the missing of his left foreleg put him off balance and unable to run properly. Sesshomaru stood tall and proud. Preparing to attack the black demon that stood before him. He opened his jaws and growled at the black inuyoukai.

It returned the challenge, much louder. "He's going to be killed" sango voiced the thoughts of her companions. Inuyasha snorted. "Hey Sesshomaru!" His brother looked at him, but at the wrong moment. At the second, that sesshomaru had his head turned, the dog demon attacked. He lunged at sesshomaru and bit him on the neck, they both fell over and sesshomaru whimpered pitifully. The black youkai stood up. Sesshomaru tried and failed to get to his legs, eyes closing in defeat. The black inuyaoukai threw back its head and howled his victory over sesshomaru throughout Japan.

Then, in a whirlwind of black light, disappeared. Inuyasha cautiously stepped closer to the fallen demon. "Sesshomaru?" but the once proud demon did not stir. Inuyasha gulped. 'He is dying…my brother is dying…..' he thought while placing his clawed hand on sesshomarus muzzle. His heartbeat was fading.

Kagome narrowed her eyes. No way was she going to let sesshomaru die when there was a hope that e would aid in the killing of Naraku. "Sesshomaru? Can you hear me? I need you to change back so I can tend to your wounds." Kagome said while coming closer. Inuyasha thought about warning her away but he did not think that sesshomaru was in the position to be harming his friends. Though the inuyoukai gave no indication he heard, there was a flash of light and Inuyasha's older brother now lay on the ground covered in deep gashes. "Inuyasha? Can you help me carry him back to the campsite?" kagome asked hopefully. Inuyasha almost crossed his arms and told her to do it herself but that hopeful look in her eyes was too much for him and he picked up the person he would have easily killed on sight only an hour ago.
