The siblings, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, yet again in a fight. This fight is a struggle with their own feelings for eachother. Will the deep love between them be the victor or will they settle for brotherly love?
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and sadly enough not Sesshoumaru. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfics.
Note: Sesshoumaru has both his arms.
"Talk"

With his stoic mask in place Sesshoumaru, walked over to the heap of armour placed against a tree and with slow composed movements strapped it on. The icy golden eyes were deprived of their depth. He turned to the west and headed back to his ward and retainer.
Not able to run anymore, Inuyasha stopped and crashed down on the cool grass. He let his mind wander. He remembered the day he was about 6 years of human age. His brother had come to visit and Inuyasha had showered his love on him. He was sure that his brother had come to take them along to live in his castle, away from the bullying children.
He had been attacked by an ogre when he was playing alone, chasing after a ball. When he had recovered from the wounds his mother told him his brother had left and wouldn't be returning soon. Inuyasha wouldn't believe her. His brother wouldn't have left him wounded like that.
With tears in her eyes his mother kneeled down in front of him and pulled him to her chest. "Your brother had come to inform me that he couldn't come to see us ever again. His advisors disapproved his connection with you, a hanyou." Inuyasha felt the blood in his body freeze. He pulled himself out of the embrace of his mother and looked disbelieving at her. His brother loved him. He couldn't abandon him like that. "No, Sesshy is my brother he won't leave me." Inuyasha cried. "He is not your brother. He is your half brother. Don't forget that!" The tears in his mother's eyes convinced him that she was telling the truth. Inuyasha immediately stopped crying and never again spoke about his brother to his mother.
Inuyasha flipped over on his belly laying his head in his folded arms. The pain he felt then hadn't abate, only grew more and more. He tried hard to hold back the tears gathering in his eyes. "You bastard, you left me. I loved you so much. I knew all along that you never could be so weak to let a group of advisors influence you. Why mother? Why did you lie to me?" He couldn't hold back the tears anymore. A heartbreaking whimper escaped him. "Mother!"
A tender hand stroked his hair. Startled Inuyasha looked up right into soft golden eyes. His brother was sitting next to him. Sesshoumaru looked at the tear streaked face and gently pulled Inuyasha upper body in his lap. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around the waist of his brother and buried his face in the soft white silk, crying his heart out. "Your mother is not to blame. She did what she believed was best for you." Sesshoumaru kept stroking the hair of his little brother.
After a while the tears ceased. Inuyasha didn't as yet let go of his brother. "You came back!" sounded his muffled voice. Sesshoumaru pulled his little brother up to sit in his lap. Inuyasha laid his head against the chest of his brother. "I abandoned you once. I don't repeat myself." Sesshoumaru grabbed the hair of his little brother and gently pulled back to make Inuyasha look at him. The not completely dried tears made the eyes of Inuyasha sparkle. Sesshoumaru looked at the face below his. He gradually lowered his head.
"Inuyasha!" sounded the shriek of a girl's voice. Inuyasha flinched and jumped out of the lap of his brother. Swiftly he brushed the remaining tears out of his eyes. Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Shippo were speeding towards him on the back of Kirara. Pursuing them was Kagura on her feather with a bunch of youkai close behind.
Panting Kirara landed right next to Inuyasha. The others leaped from her back. With their weapons in stance ready to attack as they watched Kagura descend. The feather transformed to its small size, catching it she stashed it in her hair. The bunch of youki remained close by, in the air.
"Kagura, what brings you here? Are you fed up with your live?" Inuyasha sounded a little hoarse. "Yo Inuyasha, stop your brawling. I don't have any business with you as yet. I'm here to deliver a message from Naraku to your brother." Kagura walked past them and stopped in front of the youkai lord.
Sesshoumaru looked at the wind sorceress, but didn't acknowledge her presence. Those beautiful eyes look icy, but I can feel the fire burning inside. Damn you Naraku, why have you chosen me to do your dirty work? I hope he will not kill me if I deliver the message, but I rather be killed by his hands then someone else's. Lost in her thoughts Kagura looked motionless at Sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha watched Kagura's rather peculiar behavior. He felt something twist in his belly. "Hey Kagura, if there is a message to deliver then go on with it, otherwise prepare to fight." Inuyasha positioned Tetsuseiga, ready to attack. Kagura blinked a few times to get rid of the daze she was enveloped in.
"Eh yes, the message. Naraku requests your presence in an urgent matter. To be sure you will accept his invitation he has your ward and retainer in his custody." Kagura wasn't done speaking when Sesshoumaru changed in a ball of light and shot away.
"Damn you Kagura where is he? Where is Naraku?" Kagura picked the feather out of her hair and jumped on the transformed form. Floating in the sky she gestured with her fan and the bunch of youkai attacked. "Just follow your nose, Inuyasha."
Kagura flew away in the direction Sesshoumaru left. Inuyasha hacked a few youkai. "I don't have time for this." Miroku was fighting side by side Inuyasha and heard his frustrated growl. "Go on Inuyasha. We can handle this. We will follow afterwards."
Inuyasha send a thankful glance to Miroku and dashed away after his brother. "Sango! Kagome! Concentrate on the samijoso, with them out of the way I can use my windtunnel." With his staff Miroku swept away a few of the troublesome insects. Shippo, on the shoulder of Kagome burned a few more with his fox fire. Soon the hunt for the samijoso was effective and Miroku could use his windtunnel to suck the remaining youkai to their demise.
Kirara changed back to the cute little two tail cat youkai. Panting, the human and the two little youkai dropped on the ground. "Miroku were did Inuyasha run off to? How could he leave us midst a fight? Why did you let him go?" Kagome looked accusingly at Miroku. "Kagome I'm sorry but it seemed to me that he was concerned that the barrier of Naraku would be up before he could locate his hide out."
Miroku looked in the direction his friend had left. Earlier, sitting on the front off the others on Kirara, he had blocked their view so they hadn't noticed what he was sure of. He was sure he had seen Inuyasha sitting in the lap of his brother.
Thank you for the reviews. 1000x thanks. Love y
