Locked Inside
The great youkai stared out of the concealed window of the bus he and his brother now rode in to be transported to the 'School of Hell' as his brother usual calls it. But Hell was the usual term used for such a place to a lot of students. Why? Sesshoumaru knew only the complaints of his younger honyou brother – who complained about it much. But it was this hell that so many things happened…and are still forming in the future.
Sesshoumaru was the top of all his classes and went about his life with ease, as if nothing could startle him. And he made sure nothing would. He has always been expected to excel in every class because of his father being in a top business and to stand strong for his blood. The rare Inu-Youkia blood was important not to taint.
But it was (tainted).
Inuyasha. His younger half-brothers youkai blood was soiled with the human blood of his mother, Izoyoa. It had caused a big commission, word saying that Sesshoumarus' father, InuTaishou, had gotten weak. But it died down when time passed and people got used to seeing a half demon walk along these youkia streets. But that was also only because the younger brother always stuck with his elder brother. If Sesshoumaru wasn't around, youkia would make sure he was trampled on.
Sesshoumaru glared out the window as he remembered how long it had taken him to see the pain demons AND humans placed upon his brother. Why hadn't he noticed? Because had shunned his brother, blinded himself from the half-breed when he needed his eldest brother the most. The reason was the same as any other he was simply a half-breed.
Inuyasha would come home with black eyes; tangled hair, cuts and bruises all over his young form…but never said anything of it. Sesshoumaru remembered how he would walk into the living room and see his younger brother, with slight trouble walking, carry his school supplies slowly into his room. His mother would immediately race to him asking over and over again if he was all right. He would answer so simply that it caused Sesshoumaru much confusion. He would look up at his mother and smile saying he was all right and that she wouldn't have to worry about him.
Looking down at his brother now sleeping against his shoulder he also remembered the human that entered their lives as well.
Kikyo.
The miko of the Priestess Prep School also lived next door to us along with her sister Keade and her half-sister Kagome (Yesh…. I evil and say she is Kikyo's sister…). Kikyo had come over to visit every now and then with the Inu family along with her sisters. Inuyasha had always fallen into silence when the elder sister came. He had also fallen…in love with the miko. Sesshoumaru on the other hand didn't even spare a glance to the sisters. He usual just stayed in his room and studied or watched the others from a far distance. They came to speak and share of what activities they had done and places they had seen.
The one time the two boys would ever remember of the girl is also when she came for the last time. By this time though, Inuyasha and Kikyo were dating and such. Though it was very hard to see that they were. It seemed difficult to keep from watching these two. To Sesshoumarus' eyes, Kikyo seemed to be just using Inuyasha. He would buy her gifts and she would smile and hug him or take the gift and peck him on the cheek. The half-demons ears would twitch in reaction - which sickened Sesshoumaru to no end.
Inuyasha and the miko had spoken of each other's dreams and such. Inuyasha's dream was one that always made Kikyo fall silent. Inuyasha wanted to become a full demon.
But this time their relationship took a turn for the worst. Inuyasha was well known to be a half-breed and was ridiculed for it still. If you are a friend of something so detested, you are included in the pain. And so, Kikyo was ridiculed and spoken poorly of, cursed and spat at. Inuyasha protected her when he was there, but news had gone so far and soon reached her own school. That seemed to have about done it for Kikyo.
She sat across from Inuyasha at their home she had a very urgent issue to speak of with the half-breed. Sesshoumaru was about to enter the living room when he sensed the tension and confusion that swarmed around the two and hid in darkness. He could only hear the voices…
"What's up Kikyo?" His brother asked first after the long moment of silence.
"I…need to speak with you and…"Kikyo started, but her voice sounded as though she feared of continuing.
"And?" Inuyasha asked.
"I…I need to tell you…that…I'm sorry…"
"For what?"
"I'm sorry…I just can't be with you anymore…" Kikyo said, sadness ringing true in her voice.
"Wha…what?"
"I can't handle this anymore Inuyasha…ever since I've been with you I've…I've been taunted and…even abused!"
"…"
"I'm sorry…but…your…" Shifting noises indicated that Kikyo had stood up. "You're just not worth this…"And with that she ran out and slammed the sliding door behind her.
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes to the memory. That was the day he had known how strong one could be for a long amount of time, standing up to all fears with outer strength. But something so powerful on the outside could easily be torn and torched on the inside. That also turned out to be the time that he had accepted his brother.
Sesshoumaru looked around the living room after the miko had run off and found only his brother sitting and staring blankly before him.
"You are not worth this…" The youkai repeated, stepping out into the living room.
"…"
Sesshoumaru walked slowly over to his brother and looked down at him. Inuyasha was heard sighing and looked up to his brother with a small smile.
"I'm alright…nothing to worry about here…" He said, his voice slightly chocked, but he was strong enough not to let his sadness show visibly. His answer reminded the youkai of when the boy was younger…when no one would truly love him for what he was.
Sesshoumaru knelt down next to his brother, knowing this had been enough for the honyou. (Yeah, I'm totally changing the characters…kill me when your done reading…hides in a box…). He placed an arm around his brother and rest his head on the younger ones own.
"Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha hadn't expected this, then again, his mother had done that a few times to know he was only pitied.
"Inuyasha, how can you stand being alone?" Sesshoumaru asked, "Why is it that you won't give up?"
Inuyasha smiled again at the questions, of course his brother was curious, he had no emotions, or at least he didn't show any. "I can't…Mother says that everyone has an important reason as to why they are here. Why they are what they are…" He seemed to pause at this and gaze downward at the wooden floors, remembering what he was, reasons unknown. " I don't want to throw away my purpose…"
"A purpose…" That was something Sesshoumaru had not heard of. Everyone having a purpose of existence? A place in the system maybe, but purpose?
"You know…this is probably the first time you've ever spoken to me…besides taunting me and regular daily glares" Inuyasha laughed slightly while rubbing one eye.
"So it seems…"
"Hey um…since were getting along…can I…"
"What?"
"Can I call you brother?"
"…" Sesshoumaru hadn't really thought that his actions would lead to being called a brother let alone being able to 'get along'. But maybe being called something other than Sesshoumaru or Sessy or Sesshy-kun (Note: points to Lucia and Lunas' characters) wouldn't be such a bad idea. "Alright then, brother it is"
"Hey, Sesshoumaru! Inuyasha! Wake up already! Time to get off the hells devil transporter!" The voice of Inuyasha's 'friendly' friend Miroku. Inuyasha sat up with a jolt and looked around in panic, hitting Miroku in the arm for sounding 'alarm-ish'.
"Come on bro, lets get going…" Inuyasha sighed trying to get through the gathering of people in the lane. Sesshoumaru just sat still, waiting for the others to leave or for someone to give room to move into the line.
Once off the bus, the youkai walked straightforward to the school building, Inuyasha walking alongside him who waved to Miroku and Sango as they walked away to their own first period building. There was no use in wasting time just standing around. But of course there were always people whom new you wandering around…someone like…
"Sesshy!" Rushia.
"Sesshy-kun!" And Awria. The two female youkai wolfs that have known Sesshoumaru since they were much younger. But never knew of Inuyasha since Sesshoumaru never spoke of him much. He never spoke much at all.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha stopped their walking and turned to the two wolf girls that came rushing toward them. They acted a lot like twin sisters, except they barely fought.
Rushia wore a red tank top with shoulder straps over and a pair of jean shorts. Her black silver-highlighted hair waved along behind her (To add she wears a braided piece in her hair as well) as she ran to the two brothers, her emerald green eyes never glancing elsewhere.
Awria had a tank top and jeans, one pant leg longer than the other. She had long crimson hair that shined along with her violet colored eyes as she ran along side her friend to get to the two.
"Well, here we are! Another day of high school!" Rushia said, sighing tiredly after wards.
"Yeah…here we go again…" Awria rolled her eyes, glaring to the building wishing to shoot it down with grenades. Rushia laughed slightly and turned to Sesshoumaru again.
"Hey Sesshy…who's that?" Rushia asked tilting her head slightly to the boy who now stood behind the elder brother.
"This is Inuyasha, he is a freshman here in Shikon High school" Sesshoumaru stated as his younger brother now stood beside him.
The two wolf girls stared at the younger male and blinked their eyes. With the tension of silence and time, Inuyashas' high hopes were lowering as to how they looked at him. But Sesshoumaru knew the whole thing since he too had been through the first meeting of the two girls.
"He's so…" Awria started, then she looked to Rushia who in turn looked to Awria. Then both returned their glances to Inuyasha.
"KAWAII!" They both squealed together and glomped the poor Inuyasha at the same time. And like few others, they tugged playfully on his dog-ears. Sesshoumaru shook his head slightly and looked around at the other humans and demons who stared at the small scene they made.
Inuyasha, finally released from their grasp, backed away some only to run into another unique person. The honyou yelped and spun around to face the person he walked into. Standing there before the honyou was another wolf demon, male, with black hair tied into a ponytail, eyes of lost souls, blue jeans, and a short-sleeved shirt the color of crimson blood. Wagging behind him, and receiving attention from the curious honyou, was a long brown, fuzzy wolf tail.
"What are you staring at mutt face?" The wolf growled, glaring down at the honyou. Rushia made a pouty face and glared at the wolf along with Inuyasha.
"Who are you calling mutt face ya scrawny wolf!"(And so it begins! o.o…) Inuyasha growled, his claws twitching slightly to show his level of anger at the moment.
"Kouga-kun! Stop being so cruel!" Rushia warned. Awria and Sesshoumaru stared at the group in annoyance, arms crossed over their chest.
"Well, I guess you all know who he is" Awria voiced annoyed. Yeah, they knew this wolf well enough. At least Sesshoumaru and the others did. Inuyasha, being the honyou freshman he is, didn't know anyone besides some humans. Kouga was a well know racer, by feet, soccer player, baseball player, basketball player…this wolf could practically do many of the sports. His attitude made sure he was widely known.
"Who the hell is this brat?" Kouga looked to Rushia for an answer, who only continued to glare.
"Who are you calling a brat!" Inuyasha shouted, having about as enough he could handle with this wolf. Rushia shook her head.
"Since you're being so mean…" Her tone was one of threat "Your…not getting a hug!"
Silence went deep in the group, Kouga making no flinch whatsoever. But that was only the beginning of the young wolfs plan. Her eyes began to water, a hand rubbing one of her eyes.
"You meany!" Rushia shouted at him when no response had come. Awria stood beside her friend and pat her back, silent glares being sent to Kouga. The male wolf sweat dropped and walked over to the girl.
"Alright! Alright! I'll stop being mean…" Seeing the reaction, a happy smile, from the once crying girl he continued, glaring over to the honyou "For a while…"
"Yay!" Rushia said hugging him tightly.
"Inuyasha, lets leave. I do not wish to be late for the first day" Sesshoumaru said as he pulled his brother away from the wolf youkai and the two wolf girls.
"That bastard! Who does he think he is!" The growling honyou complained as they walked into the F-Building of the school, which held most of the regular classes.
"You shouldn't worry over some one like him" Sesshoumaru said, not looking to him, as they entered the large hallway.
"I'm not worried! He-"
"Gets on your nerves and you want to kill him. Good, now lets go to our first class"
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were to be in the same classes all day, but that HAD to be assigned. Their father and mother didn't want Inuyasha being left alone at the school, open for bullies and such. So they talked to the school principle to assign the agendas for Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
"Inuyasha!" A girls voice squealed from behind them. The honyou turned, only to be glomped (People sure love him -) by a girl in a sailor suit-ish outfit.
"Hey, Kagome" Inuyasha said, trying to keep himself from being dragged to the ground by the shorter girl.
"Your finally in High School!" She piped, then held a pencil to Inuyasha supposedly resembling a microphone "How do you feel?"
The honyou and miko laughed a bit as Sesshoumaru just watched. Kagome was always the kindest, funniest person of the Higurashi sisters. The honyou and youkai always felt comfort around the girl. Her wild imagination and playfulness was always the key for her.
Sesshoumaru had asked once why Inuyasha did not go out with Kagome later on after Kikyo had gone. The brother answered that he wasn't willing to go into another relationship after Kikyo. Adding that he also didn't need another let down either.
"Kagome! There you are!" A girl called from behind. This female wore a violet colored shirt with long sleeves and jeans, her hair high in a ponytail.
"Hey Sango, what's up?" She asked still with her perky voice. It was like nothing could ruin her mood.
"I've been looking all over for you! Come on, we have to get to first period!" Sango immediately bowed in forgiveness to Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru before dragging her friend back down the hall.
"They could have at least said bye…" Inuyasha said with a smile, turning back to his brother. Sesshoumaru nodded and they continued to their classroom.
"Pipe down, I'll call role now!" The teacher said as he looked around at his class to see that everyone was settled down in a seat. This teacher looked like any other student, except for being so tall and acting so mature. His hair was raven colored and short, clothing were the normal shade of a black t-shirt and jeans.
"Okay, Awria?" He started.
"Here!" Came the usual response.
"Rushia?"
"Present!"
"Inuyasha?"
"Right here"
"Jakotsu?"
Silence answered. Everyone looked around, but the young gothic clothed boy wasn't present.
"HHHEEEERRRREEEE!" Came a loud yell as the door to the room slammed open to reveal the said boy.
"Your late…"
"Sorry, Siukotsu-kun!" The bow said walking over to his desk beside a certain braided hair boy, a smile clearly showing that he didn't care if he was late or not.
"Don't call me that! It's MR. Suikotsu to you" The teacher growled, holding the role in one hand, the other balling into a fist.
"Awww…" The boy whined "How come?"
The older man shook his head and sighed in annoyance. He didn't need this so early in the morning, ESPECIALLY with Jakotsu.
"We've been through this Jakotsu…were not a gang anymore…I'm a teacher and you're a student…get that through your head"
"…your gonna have to think of a better reason than that for me calling you Suikotsu-kun…" The boy responded, not really caring of what the reason was. He wasn't going to call a friend 'Mr.'.
"Bankotsu…please talk with him after class…" Suikotsu said to the braided haired boy. The boy gave a solute to the teacher, causing some of the class to giggle.
"…Sesshoumaru?" He called out wanting to get back on schedule.
No answer, just a raised hand. Sesshoumaru wasn't up for much speaking today, when was he ever up for speaking?
"Honored to have Taishou's two sons in my class" The teacher commented. Sesshoumaru didn't respond. He knew that Taishou was well known for, nothing knew there.
The teacher kept up role call as Sesshoumaru thought over things.
He was soon going to be in his fathers shoes. He was going to be the one responsible for the rest of the family. He was the one that was going to come home at the latest times and leave the earliest. He was…
He shook his head from his thoughts. He didn't want to think about what was to become of his future. Its been already planned out, from the very beginning it was said. He had no word in it whatsoever.
At times he wished he were his own brother. Absurd as it sounded to himself, he really did. His brother could choose to become anything he wanted and do what he pleased. He had a mother that loved him dearly, including the father.
He on the other hand had lost his mother, though he didn't show much of a reaction to the death. He was given a role ever since he was born without consent. And his father barely spoke with the younger youkai. He only said something along the lines of "You'll be where I stand someday" or something like that.
The Inu-Youkai sat on the grass outside during lunch along with his younger brother.
Sesshoumaru continued to stare at the sky while Inuyasha sat listening to his elder brothers CD he had allowed him to borrow. Just as the honyou was about to open up his lunch box, something poked his head.
"Hm?" He looked up beside him and saw Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Rushia, Awria, and –unfortunately- Kouga.
"Why don't you sit with us you two?" Kagome asked, smiling softly to the brothers.
"Sure!" Inuyasha said, revealing his excitedness a little too much with his voice and smile –and how he managed to jump to his feet so fast. This was understandable to his elder brother and the humans. Inuyasha barely was asked even to sit down with other people. Sesshoumaru shook his head and continued staring at the sky, seen little due to the trees leaves that shaded him.
He listened as the group walked off and took out his note book, grabbing a black pen and writing something down. Whenever alone he would get out this note book colored in red and wrote whatever emotions he felt, changing them to words.
My life is like a document.
Stating I can't move from where they have placed me.
I can't run.
I can't hide.
I'm trapped in black in white.
No colors.
No hope.
Why?
Its life.
Life is nothing but a document.
Short, but he wasn't much in the mood for something long and hand tiring. The mood would have to be worse than what he felt at the moment. But it seemed as though he was getting used to being alone.
"That's pretty good" Came a voice from beside him. He only nodded his head in thanks and closed the note book, placing it back in his back pack before looking to the person.
The taller boys skin was like his brothers, just paler, showing less human warmth. His eyes were of dark crimson, looking straight back at Sesshoumarus' own amber ones. His long jet black hair was wavy and held up in a ponytail, cascading down his back. He wore a long sleeved dark blue shirt with dark blue jeans.
"Sorry, seems I've disturbed the writer?" The taller one asked, smiling slightly.
"No…that was all I meant to write" He answered him, never letting his gaze falter along with the crimson orbs.
"I see…names Naraku" He said, showing a hand to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru stared at it for a moment, then slowly took it and responded to the other.
"Sesshoumaru" He said. It was strange. His skin shown pale, but his hand felt very warm.
"May I see other writings?" Naraku asked, glancing over to the backpack that sat next to the youkai. Sesshoumaru stared at him for a second, finally realizing that everything in the note book wasn't all that important. Emotions were go to get rid of and write down so not to be seen again. He took out the book and handed it to Naraku.
"Arigato" Naraku said sitting himself beside Sesshoumaru and beginning to read the contents of the note book.
Sesshoumaru watched as he read the many writings in the book he wrote in most. He was always alone, so it always came down to his book. Why was this Naraku person so interested in what he had written? Did he even know of his father? Usually people wouldn't come near him for that reason alone. He didn't ask though, he was content in just sitting there at the time.
RING!
The bell rang, ending the time for lunch. Sesshoumaru stood and flung his backpack onto his back, turning to Naraku for his book. But Naraku was busy reading.
"Its time to leave, return my book" Sesshoumaru said, holding out a hand to have his book placed in. The taller one stood –still reading. Sesshoumaru could see his younger brother waiting for him at the doors of the school with his small group. He tried to take his book by force but it was snatched from reach and held above him. Naraku smirked to Sesshoumaru, as if daring the youkai to reach for it.
"I do not intend on playing games" Sesshoumaru stated flatly, glaring up at him.
"If the book is so dear, you should" Naraku responded, almost as flatly as Sesshoumaru had his words.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes to Naraku, who in turn smirked again. He balled his hand into a fist and aimed to punch him, only to have his fist grabbed and held tightly.
"Come now, Taishou's son can do better than that!" Naraku mocked. Sesshoumaru dropped his backpack and slashed at the demon with his claws, leaving a torn marking in his shirt. As soon as that was made he quickly jumped lightly to snatch the book back. To Sesshoumarus surprise the youkai started clapping. Why would he start clapping? He must be really dense.
"Good job, Sesshoumaru" Naraku said, ending his clapping to stare down at the silver haired youkai. He leaned closer to Sesshoumaru till his lips brushed slightly against the youkais' pointed ear. "I hope to speak with you again" With that said, Naraku walked away calmly, hands in his pockets.
Was he just…teasing him!
"Sesshoumaru!" The said demon turned to see his brother come running toward him "What happened! Who was that jerk?" Inuyasha demanded to know the answers. One thing was for certain, if Sesshoumaru attacked ANYONE on school property that meant that he was really ticked. Which was quite unusual since everyone usually left him alone, and this was most likely the first time in years that he's actually been so angry.
Sesshoumaru glanced to the direction Naraku walked off to then back to his brother.
"Nothing…come, class is about to start"
"We're home!" Inuyasha announced as he and his older brother entered the large home. With the noise of clothes moving about, Izoyoa came out and toward the two boys.
"Welcome home Inuyasha!" She said hugging her son tightly. She turned to Sesshoumaru and smiled warmly "Welcome home Sesshoumaru" She said. Sesshoumarus half-brother and his mother walked into the kitchen where the scent of food flowed out of.
"Foods ready for you two" Izoyoa announced. Sesshoumaru, though, wasn't in the mood for eating any food. Nor being around a mother and her son.
His room sounded nice at that time, quiet, dark, alone, and cold. The combination of what his room was like was also like being in a cave, except for being so damp. He walked upstairs and walked through a long hall to his room. The rug he stepped on to enter was a dark blue, along with the curtains, sheets on his bed and the ceiling. Everything else was white. His room was very neat, not that it mattered. He just had to have a place for everything. There always was a place for everything.
'Yes…just like I have mine…' He thought as he sat on his bed, staring at the floor in thought.
Everything had a place, just like the living creatures that roamed this earth did. He was to take his fathers place in the business and his brother would do as he chooses.
Those thoughts always seemed to stab at him, making it harder and harder to concentrate on anything.
"Sesshoumaru! Yo! Sesshoumaru!" Inuyashas' voice could be heard yelling in the youkais ears. What was it with pups and yelling to their elder brothers?
"What do you want…?" Sesshoumaru answered, eyes still closed as he tried to hide himself more under the covers.
"Dads here!" Inuyasha announced, pulling the covers off. But he was sure when he had said 'Dad' that his brother would get up.
As he guessed, Sesshoumaru jumped to a sit up position "What!"
Inuyasha nodded and ran downstairs, his brother already up and following him. When they entered the living room, Inuyashas mother was hugging Taishou.
Their father was taller looked a lot like Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, more Sesshoumaru though. Or vice versa really. He had his hair up in a ponytail, a single Inu-Youkai marking on each side of his face. He wore his usual black suit from his work place.
Inuyasha, plenty excited, ran up to his father and hugged him along with his mother.
Something about that picture of the three hugging stung Sesshoumaru, more like a jabbing of a knife to his chest at the least. Taishou, Izoyoa, and Inuyasha. Smiles and all.
'It hurts…' His thoughts had spoken again. But how did it hurt to see a family…hug? Maybe because…he wasn't…in the family.
'Damn it! I shouldn't let emotions effect me like this! There no use!' Sesshoumaru fought his mind, glaring to the ground as he'd done so.
"Sesshoumaru?" He lifted his head to see his father before him, Izoyoa to his left and Inuyasha to his right. He bowed to his father in greeting. Taishou bowed his head slightly to his first son in return.
After hearing footsteps leave he looked to see that the mother and father had walked off. Inuyasha stood at his side now. Why? He'd never know. He turned around to face the hall to the stairs about to walk off when Inuyasha spoke.
"Sesshoumaru…why do you always run away?"
Run away? What gave him the idea that he was running away? Sesshoumaru turned to face his brother with his usual expressionless face.
"I never run…I can't run" He said, then walked away from the honyou brother and lock himself up in his room.
Grabbing his red note book again he began writing with a blue pen.
A simple 'hello'Is all I do and get in return
Your happiness hurts
Especially when you seem to taunt me with it
"Why do I always run away?"
…I only wish I could
I wish that my endless tunnel would stop
And then I could see a new path
And be able to feel what you call happiness
My endless tunnel…
My endless black pit…
I can't run away
I can't run when I can't see
I can't run…
'Well…that was quite random…' Sesshoumaru said after rereading his work. He turned his page back to the writing he had done earlier and found it…missing! Where was it! The youkai looked slowly through the note book, careful for any hidden pages and found that it really was missing! Where could-
Then he glared at his book angrily as he remembered the person he had just met today. That Naraku was just going to become more and more of a pain.
