Dedicated to Inu Youkai of Earth for the review that blew me away
Grass crunched under his weight as he walked. The sun was in the middle of the sky, and there was no wind. Making it a beautiful day. But he didn't care about the weather, no; he didn't care about much these days… well except for this feeling in the pit of his stomach that wouldn't go away.
He was agitated, but he wouldn't let anyone see that he was, or help him. No, he would deal with it on his own or ignore it. But he just couldn't, it would subside for a while, and then come back and almost knock him to the ground. He inwardly growled when it would happen.
Thankfully he was traveling alone today, Jaken and Rin were left at the castle and he was enjoying the peace and quite. He was quite as he walked, a family of rabbits where caught off guard when he came walking through, but he didn't stop as he walked past them.
He was walking towards the village that his brother protected. He didn't really mean to head this way, just the feeling in the pit of his stomach told him to. He was in the forest that bore his half brothers name, and off in the distance he saw lump of red and silver lying curled up in a ball.
He recognized it as InuYasha and walked over to the fallen hanyou.
"InuYasha." He called with his usually monotone voice. He received no answer, so he knelt down and rolled him over. InuYasha's eyes were closed, but his face told him that he was in pain. Sesshomaru looked him over and saw no visible wounds, nor could he smell any blood. This puzzled him, what was wrong with his brother. He scanned the clearing and couldn't sense any of the humans that InuYasha traveled with.
'How strange.' He thought, as he subconsciously moved InuYasha's bangs out of his face. This cause a very interesting reaction, InuYasha's eyes bolted open and before Sesshomaru could move, InuYasha threw himself onto his brother and clung to him.
"InuYasha?" Sesshomaru blurted out, when his brother clung to his kimono tightly. He looked down at his brother and saw his knuckles turning white from his hold.
"I-It h-hurts s-so much." InuYasha stuttered as he looked into Sesshomaru's eyes. With their eyes locked Sesshomaru saw his eyes turn from gold, to violet, to ruby and back to gold.
"Why wont the pain leave?" he said, his voice strained with pain.
Sesshomaru continued to look at InuYasha, his mask fell when he saw his eyes change color. "What pain?"
InuYasha tried to blink back the tears that were building up in his eyes, "Its trying… to get… out." InuYasha said trying to bite through a new wave of pain that went through his body. His grip relaxed and he slid down his brother and back to the ground.
"InuYasha?" Sesshomaru shook him gently trying to wake him up. "InuYasha." He said louder and shook harder. "InuYasha…!"

Bounds snaked their way around his body as he floated in blackness. Wrapping themselves around his arms, legs, neck and chest. His eyes shot open and he looked around. But what was there supposed to be when you were here? Soon two pairs of eyes opened and looked at their captive. One pair was ruby red, the other violet, and soon more pain flew through his body and he cried out.
When he was able to reopen his eyes he saw his human side on his right and his demon side on his left.
"Wh-what's going on?" he asked, voice full of fear.
"Poor, poor hanyou…." They said.
"Its time for you to choose…" the human InuYasha said, stroking his hair.
The demon InuYasha grinned and ran his hand down the hanyou's face, "Yes, its time…"
"What? Time for what?" the hanyou asked looking from one to the other.
"You wished once to be human." Said the demon.
"And then you wished to be demon." Said the human. "You need to choose now…"
"I don't want to choose. Let me go!"
"No." they said and the bounds tightened themselves around his limbs.
"Why? Why must I choose?"
"Because I'm tired," the human said.
"Tired?" hanyou InuYasha looked at the human InuYasha.
"Its getting hard to control him. Every battle. Every wound. Every time you're life is threatened. Its gets harder to keep him in." the human did sound tired, like he was being kept from ever resting.
"I want out," the demon whispered in the hanyous ear. InuYasha whipped his head around and looked at the demon part of him.
"I want out, and I want out now." It growled, and the pain returned.
"You should have left the jewel and lived alone. But you had to get the jewel and put your body through so many beatings." The human cried.
"I was asleep little puppy, but ever since I took that breath of air, I haven't slept since." The demon grinned evilly at him.
"Let me go." The hanyou growled out.
"No." the demon said, and the hanyou's face contorted in pain and he cried out.
"Don't give in yet… not until he teaches you how control." The human said, and then everything went white and InuYasha opened his eyes and saw more white.
"Sessh…" he mumbled before passing out into a dreamless sleep again.

Sesshomaru watched as his brother cried out in pain, he grew worried. This had happened before when InuYasha was a little pup. It was just like it was then like it is now. Sesshomaru found InuYasha passed out on the ground and when Sesshomaru touched him, he woke up and flung himself onto him. And like the situation now, he passed out, cried out, woke up and then passed back out. But Sesshomaru couldn't remember what all that had lead too, and but he remembered that it lead to nothing more that InuYasha wanting to leave him.
Sighing, Sesshomaru stood up and left his brothers side, but as he walked no more than three steps, he heard InuYasha mumble his name. He stopped in his tracks and looked back at his fallen brother, then back to where he came from. Grimacing, he stepped back to InuYasha, picked him up and took him back to his castle.
On the way there InuYasha would whimper, cry out and cling to his brother. If possible Sesshomaru was sure that if InuYasha had the power he would have molded himself right into his chest.
'What's happening to you little brother?' Sesshomaru thought as he looked down and watched as his brothers' face twisted with pain.
They arrived at his castle a while later, and Rin was there with Jaken meeting him at the gate.
"Welcome back Lord Sesshomaru." Rin said with a smile on her face.
"Lord Sesshomaru, is that who I think it is?" Jaken asked as he turned up his nose at the thought of having the hanyou staying at the castle. A human girl was enough, but now a hanyou?
"It is." Sesshomaru said, leaving it as that as he walked past them both and headed to a guest room. Rin turned on her heals happy to have her Lord back and followed him inside.
Sesshomaru walked past walked past several rooms and then walked into one that was close to his.
"What's wrong with him Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked as she stood in the doorway, looking at her Lord with curious eyes.
"I do not know Rin. Not right now." He answered not looking her way.
"But he will be alright right?"
Sesshomaru didn't answer, "Go play in the garden." He said, and he heard her walk away. He sat by InuYasha's side for a few more seconds, before he too turned and went to walk out, but a hand reached out and grabbed his arm. Sesshomaru turned back and saw InuYasha awake and with his arm in his grasp.
"What is it?" he asked, he noticed that InuYasha wasn't looking at him.
"No…" was the quite, yet scared reply.
Sesshomaru looked at him, "no?"
"Please…" InuYasha turned his gaze to his brother, eyes not gold matching gold, but ruby matching gold.
"What's wrong brother?" Sesshomaru asked as he moved back to InuYasha's side.
"I want out…" came the demon's reply. Then InuYashas' eyes closed and his face twisted with pain once again.
"InuYasha?" Sesshomaru asked carefully.
His eyes popped open, but this time they were violet, "So…tired…" soon he cried out in pain and his back arced off the bed as he did.
"InuYasha?" Sesshomaru called as he soon saw his brother's body erupt into a huge spasm.
