What If…

InuYasha POV

I stand across from him, sword drawn. I have to put up the act of hating him, and it hurt's me to do that. He comes at me thinking I'll block his attack like normal, but he's wrong. If I can't have him as a mate, then I have nothing to live for. He's the one; the only one I want. Everyone thinks I want the slut Miko, Ha! Are they wrong.

I see the blade come at me, I hear the Miko screaming for me to defend myself, but I can't… I won't because it's what he wants. I'm prepared for the blow He will deal me, but I see the blade simply stop.

I expected to feel the cold steel of my brother's sword, and be released, but all that comes is his voice, "Hanyou, why do you not protect your self? Have you finally given up?"

I look to him and whisper out in Inu, "This Hanyou will not live much longer with out the love of…" I trail off knowing he and my friends will be pissed more then they are.

He looks at me then grabs my arm, and pulls me into the forest. "Talk. NOW!"

I look at him fearfully, "This Hanyou will not live much longer with out the love of…you… Sesshomaru. My demon sees you as my mate…. It also is weakening… I went to a healer…they said I am dying with out my mate…"

Sesshomaru POV

I stare at my brother as he begins to cry. "Little brother, come here." I smell fear coming him as he walks to me. When he is close enough I yank him forward; startling my little brother as I pull him to my chest, and cradle his head. "Why did you not find this Sesshomaru sooner?"

I saw him dip his head low and whisper, "I was afraid, afraid of rejection, afraid of what you would do." I looked at him before leaning down and gently taking his lips in a passionate kiss. "Little brother, this Sesshomaru has always loved you. I've just been waiting for you to grow up."

Miroku POV

I hear kagome screaming that we have to follow the brothers and make sure Sesshomaru isn't going to kill InuYasha. I can see the way they look at each other, it's the same way I used to look at sango, but now look at my new love.

He is here, and I look over to him with slight lust, and a wishful gaze. "Yo Miroku, mind helping me look for the mutt and his brother? Or would you like to stay here and listen to Kagome scream and yell?" I look at him before nodding my head, only to hear Kagome start to scream louder, right before screaming at Kouga that because he's the fastest that he should carry her to find InuYasha. The little bitch thinks nothing can come before her.

InuYasha POV

I watch my brother with eyes full of tears, tears of joy, but still tears all the same. I feel his hands move to my face, "Dear brother why are you crying; has this Sesshomaru hurt you?" I hear his voice full of, no it's impossible; worry. "Sesshy I'm fine, I'm just happy you aren't rejecting me. I don't know what I would do if you did…" Right in the middle of my sentence I heard the sound of what seemed to be a banshee, but I knew it was only Kagome. I unknowingly let out, a whimper. I knew that if she found me that I would be hearing her yell Osuwari, then denied the food that would replenish my soul and my body. I knew that Sesshomaru has felt me tense up, and heard my whimper of panic. He grabbed me and held me closer to him as Kagome and the others came in to view.

The first words out of her mouth when she saw me were hurried… That dread words four times flowing from her mouth like the scream of a Banshee.
