CHAPTER 3 Problems Arising in The West

Izayoi laughed as she walked down the halls of the castle with Inuyasha helping him look for his big brother Sesshoumaru. She couldn't help but laugh at how determined her child was to find him. She already knew where he was but wanted to keep Inuyasha busy since Sesshoumaru was helping his father with important political business. She thought back to the discussion she had with her husband the other day about the problems going on not just in the Western Lands but the bordering lands as well.

**FLASHBACK**

"What's wrong dear? You seem upset, did something happen?" Izayoi asked as Inutaisho sighed once again with a troubled look on his face. He looked at his human wife and smiled sadly, he didn't want to worry her about the attacks that have been happening around the lands and its borders.

Inutaisho sighed and gave his wife a defeated look knowing he wasn't going to get out of this without telling her what was going on. "As you know recently there has been a large amount of attacks on the human villages in the Western Lands and the surrounding bordering Lands." He started. " We have been receiving confirmation that this is all being orchestrated by the same damn person. I have nothing against Hanyou's but this person is a despicable one that goes by the name of Naraku. Story goes he was once human but turned himself into what he is. Its disgusting and shameful." Izayoi looked at her husband with sad eyes, she knew he was upset because Inuyasha was a hanyou and this Naraku character was also one but he made hanyou's look bad. She stayed silent and let him continue. "He is testing my patience Izayoi, he has been coming onto my land and declaring battle on my people. Not only me but my allies as well. He has killed many of my people and theirs also!" He stopped for moment then continued slowly but not before walking over to Izayoi and pulling her into a hug. "Im worried he will try something or attempt to attack you or my children and I wouldn't be able to bare it if I lost any one of you." Izayoi closed her eyes letting a small tear escape, she returned the embrace murmuring small reassurances to her love, knowing it was all she could do.

**FLASHBACK END**

Izayoi was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Inuyasha yelling Sesshoumaru's name in his cute little voice. She walked faster to keep up with her little hyperactive buddle of joy as he kept calling for his brother. Finally coming to Inutaisho's study, Inuyasha knocked on the door remembering his manners. He may be less than a year old, but he was old enough to have them. His puppy ear twitched as he waited for his fathers answer before entering, hearing his father answer with a loud "come in" he quickly entered his father's study with his mother following closely behind him.

Inutaisho was surprised to hear small knock at his door and to hear his youngest ask to come in. He answered saying "Come In". He watched as Inuyasha waddled in followed by his mother. Inuyasha giggled as he ran to his father and launched himself into his arms yelling "Papa!". Inutaisho caught him and squeezed him into a hug kissing his sons head. "How are you my dear pup?" he asked Inuyasha. "Im looking for Sesh have you seen him papa?" Inuyasha answered back. "He should be heading back this way to the study, I sent him to grab me some books from the library. Your welcome to stay and wait for him here." He said setting Inuyasha down the couch by the window. He turned towards his wife and smiled " And how is your day going my love?" Izayoi walked towards him and leaned into him. "Its been rather tiring following Inuyasha around, I swear I have no idea where he gets all that energy." As Izayoi and Inutaisho started conversing, they didn't notice Sesshoumaru make his way back into the study.

"SESH!" Sesshoumaru was startled as he caught his little brother in mid air as Inuyasha jumped and launched himself at his brother. He stared down at his giggling little brother as he snuggled into Sesshoumaru chest. " I missed you Sesh." At hearing this Sesshoumaru hugged Inuyasha close and kissed both his puppy ear and then his head. I loved the idea of his beloved little Inuyasha missing him so much after they last saw each other at breakfast this morning. It had been 8 months since Inuyasha was born, he now looked around the size of 1 year old human child, and every day since then Sesshoumaru barely let his brother out of his sight. They even started sharing a room together since he didn't like Inuyasha having his own even if it was right across the hall. He remembered when he convinced his father to let Inuyasha move into his room until he no longer needed adult supervision, though he would probably still keep there despite that.

**FLASHBACK**

Sesshoumaru walked down to his fathers office carrying a small little Inuyasha along with him. He knocked on the door to his fathers office and waited for permission to enter, once he heard it he entered the office and set Inuyasha down in the small little nest of pillows that couch seemed to have. Inuyasha looked up at his father with round doe-like golden eyes and smiled at him "Hi papa" he raised his arms in gesture of wanting to be picked up again but by his father. Sesshoumaru and Inutaisho smiled down at him, only this adorable puppy could make them smile as much he did.

"Sesshoumaru I can tell this isn't a social visit, do you need something?" Inuyasha reached up again, but Sesshoumaru chuckled and tapped the pups nose making him go cross eyed.

"Not now musuko, your father must finish his work then we can play." He told his brother then kissed his head. Turning to his father Sesshoumaru turned his demeanor serious. "I request Inuyasha be moved into my chambers. I do not like him being alone with only a servant to call upon. I would like him to be around me as much as possible considering the recent string of event s that have been occurring around the lands, he would do better to have someone keep him safe at all times." Inutaisho looked at his eldest thinking his request over. Then turned to Inuyasha who was still sitting on the couch, his puppy twitching every once in while as he listened to them talk. "I believe its not just up to me Sesshoumaru have you asked Inuyasha if he would like this change to happen." Inutaisho looked at Inuyasha and asked "Inuyasha would you like to share a room with your big brother instead of having your own?" Inuyasha's eyes grew bigger and he smiled.

"I'm going to get to share a room with Sesh! Sesh can I stay with you really!?" Looking at his brother for an answer he saw him nod then proceeded to hug Sesshoumaru's legs saying thank you over and over.

A couple of hours later, Sesshoumaru finished moving Inuyasha's things into his own room , everything except for Inuyasha's bed. His bed was big enough to hold about 8 people and Inuyasha would sleep with him anyway. He felt better knowing he would be closer to Inuyasha since finding out from his father about the this menacing hanyou that called himself Naraku causing trouble around the other lands. Deep in thought he hadn't noticed his brother had gotten out up and walked towards him. Pulled out of his thoughts he felt a tug on his pants and looked down to see what it was. Inuyasha looked at his brother with a radiant smile and reached up at him again wanting to be picked up.

"Sesh, I love you" he said as he reached up at him. Sesshoumaru grew wide eyed at what his brother had said to him. Quickly he scooped his brother up and held him close.

"You are the most amazing thing my little Inu, your only 7 months old and managed to already win my heart" he said to his little beloved hanyou. His heart swelled with pride and love knowing his beloved loved him.

**END FLASHBACK**

Sesshoumaru smiled at the memory, never had he been so proud and happy in his life. He snapped out his thoughts as he remembered he still had the books his father wanted. "Here father the books you wanted"

Inutaisho took the books and set them on his desk. He looked at them time it was time for some lunch so he decided to stop for now and pick up after he ate something. "Sesshoumaru why don't we take Inuyasha and Izayoi for some lunch, we will continue working after we've had some food put on our stomachs." Sesshoumaru nodded as he carried Inuyasha towards the door walking out and heading to the dining room.

Izayoi looked at her husband smiled. "If you wanted to get me alone to talk you could've just asked you know." Inutaisho smiled at her. "It amazes me at how perceptive you are sometimes, well the reason I wanted to talk to you alone was to tell you there will be a council meeting to discuss this Naraku character. The leader of the Northern Wolf Tribe will be arriving in a few days along with his mate and child. I wanted to let you know so you wouldn't be surprised to see them here." Izayoi looked at her husband with a raised eyebrow knowing he wasn't saying everything. But she let it go for now as they neared the dining room not wanting to bring it up in front of Inuyasha.
