Chapter 4: Home At Last.
"Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, if you two don't stop with the staring holes into each other I'm going to go over there and knock you both out. I would like to sleep and I cant with the eerie feeling I am getting from the two of you. So I will only say it once more." She paused as she felt them turn to her. "STOP IT!"
Really you would think that with not seeing her for over two centuries that they would show a little respect but all the two knew how to do was hate each other. If they didn't stop of their own free wills then she was going to make them stop. And they wouldn't like it if she made them. But she had always loved things the hard way. She smiled wickedly at the thought of what she could do to her two stubborn brothers.
Inuyasha watched as his aneue smile wickedly to herself. He didn't like the look of that smile. She was his sister after all and he knew that whenever he made that smile that he was thinking of something evil that he was going to do to someone else. Oh well maybe it was Sesshoumaru that she was thinking about. The damn Ice Lord would deserve anything that she did to him. He was a bastard and everyone knew it but that didn't stop Sesshouri from yelling at him too.
He watched as she settled back against her tree to sleep as she curled her long pinkish silver tail around herself to keep warm. He frowned. Why was he the unlucky one who didn't get to have a tail like that? He could remember a time when he was only about two years old that he had watched her as she played in the garden. By that time Sesshouri and Sesshoumaru had already looked the equivalent to a sixteen year old ningen.
OOOOOO
"Aneue…" He had started when he had at first saw her. She was using her tail to reach high into a tree for a flower that had yet to fall in the turning of the season. She had turned to look at him with a smile upon her face.
"Yes ototo?" She had asked him, walking to where he was standing. He was scared to ask her but he was determined. She smiled at the stubborn look on his face that he got from her a Sesshoumaru alike though she knew the brothers never admitted to be alike in any way.
"Umm……" He was afraid to ask her afraid that she might lie and then he wouldn't know why people were the way they were to him. All he wanted to know was why he was treated differently then the others were.
"Come on Inuyasha you can spit it out. I know that you have something to say so why do you as Aneue." She had leaned down so the she was staring straight into his eyes. Then she sighed and wrapped her tail around him bringing him up to her chest where she wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"What is worrying you so much Inuyasha that you are even afraid to ask me of it. Is it something so scary that you don't know what to do about it?" She knew that making it seem as if he was being a coward would make him liven up, so she had done it purposely. He looked up at her and sniffed and stared at her with those amber eyes so like her own.
" Why do people treat me differently Shouri? Why does it seem as if they don't like me. What is so different about me that no one likes?" He asked with tears in his eyes but a hardness that made him all the more the Inu that she knew he was.
" Why don't you run along and ask Sesshoumaru Inuyasha I am sure that he can help you a lot more than I can." She had smiled then and let him down after placing a kiss upon his cheek. He nodded up at her and ran to find his aniki who he knew was very close.
He had run into Sesshoumaru just around the corner after leaving the garden area. His brother looked down at him and lifted an eyebrow in question to the tears in his younger brother's eyes.
"Sesshou why do they treat me differently, huh?" He asked as he stared up at his brother his eyes demanding to know the truth and not to be lied to. His brother sighed then looked down at him once more before turning to walk away.
"They treat you different because Inuyasha you are different from them. And most fear that which is different from them." Inuyasha frowned, but he didn't want to be treated differently he wanted to be treated with the respect that his brother and sister got.
"Besides Inuyasha, why would you want to be like someone else?" With that Sesshoumaru had walked away to the Gardens where his twin stood listening to their conversation.
Little did Sesshoumaru know was that Inuyasha did want to be like someone. He wanted to be strong and respected like his aniki and aneue were. He would become a demon just like them and he would be strong and one day he would gain the respect that he deserved.
OOOOOO
Inuyasha frowned at the memory that he had just went through. He remembered it. He also remembered the fact that not even two minutes after Sesshoumaru entered the gardens he had heard crashing and had turned to see two giant dogs fighting, thought neither was anywhere near as big as their father was. He remembered watching as the silver dog had lunged for the other one though he knew this one to be his sister from the pinkish tent that her silver fur had to it. She had dodged quickly but then when she had turned to attack Sesshoumaru he had moved also and she was left skidding to a halt so as to not smash him. She had almost not made it if it weren't for Sesshoumaru stopping her forward movement. That was the first of many times that his life had been saved by his aniki, and by his aneue.
"You know baka that it is not wise to travel off into little dreams when your enemy can easily sneak up on you at anytime." Sesshouri's voice sounded in his ear and as he turned he could glance the glint of her silver hair before she was laying back in the same spot as before. Damn those two they could always do that to him. Screw dreams, those two didn't need anything to hide them coming, because no one would ever see them.
"Damn you Shouri, you always did love doing that to me didn't you?" Inuyasha muttered as he settled himself back down to rest.
The group was ready to leave by early the next morning and they all sighed as Sesshouri lead the way once again. Kagome still thought it was funny that this small youkai could control so much power over the two Inu brothers who had to be the most stubborn duo that she had ever met.
"Uh, Sesshouri, if you don't mind me asking, where exactly are we heading? Because I don't know any of this land." Kagome asked the female youkai in front of her.
"Why I am going home of course. Do you really think that I was going to stay out here in this damn kimono that I have been stuck in for the last two hundred years?" She glanced back with a look of utter disbelief and betrayal. "You being a woman should know how I feel. I need to change and I can't do that unless I have clothes to change into." She said with a little laugh and then a look of horror crossed her face as she stopped and turned to look at Sesshoumaru.
"You didn't get rid of my clothes did you Sesshoumaru?" She asked in a menacing voice that would have made any other demon cower in fear, but this wasn't any other demon this was Sesshoumaru and after yesterday's happenings, he had been even more closed up then usual.
"Iie, your clothes are still in the castle along with your room. I did not feel the need to ever dispose of the items." He said coldly never once looking at her as he walked past her and down the path that Kagome figured would lead them to the castle of the Western Lord.
"Good." She smiled and then she frowned. She glared at her brother as she followed after him in a huff with Inuyasha rolling his eyes behind them as he too followed the stoic taiyoukai. "You baka, don't you ever ignore me like that again!" She yelled as she walked beside him to make sure he was listening to her.
"Stop your insolence bickering wench." Sesshoumaru told her coldly and Kagome watched as Inuyasha flinched and stopped walking. Kagome followed his lead and did as he did knowing that what ever was about to happen wasn't going to be any good. A few seconds later proved her right as the twins turned to each other with eyes of blood.
"You dare talk to me like one of your servants Sesshoumaru?" Sesshouri asked quietly and coldly flexing her claws as Kagome shivered from the cold streak that had just ran through her back.
"I will call you whatever I please since I am the lord here and not you." Sesshoumaru replied while crossing his arms across his chest and staring at his now raging mad sister. But then Sesshouri did something that surprised them all. She got all calm and smiled up at Sesshoumaru all sweet like as if nothing had happened. She saw Inuyasha back up a pace and knew that Sesshouri may seem like nothing had happened but Sesshoumaru would know and feel that something had happened.
"As you wish then brother, but you will regret your words soon enough." She said as she turned to walk away and then turned around so fast that no one saw what was happening until Sesshoumaru was laid out flat on the ground with his smaller twin sitting Indian style on his stomach with a big smile on her face. He just glared at then he smiled as he used his tail to send her flying……wait rewind did he just smile? Sesshoumaru and smiling in the same sentence, wow that was a hard one to get used to.
They watched as the two exchanged blows as they fought though she could tell they weren't really trying to hurt the other, only it seemed, to test them.
All of a sudden the attacks stopped and the two looked at each other and then turned and walked away to get back on their path that they had set to the place they had known as home.
They walked for hours before they stopped for camp and then continued on the next morning. They finally caught view of the castle the next day a couple of ours into their walk.
Inuyasha frowned. This would be the first time he had been here since his father had died and Sesshouri had disappeared. He still remembered the old place as if it were yesterday though because it was the only place that he had truly felt as if he had belonged. Without knowing it Inuyasha had stopped walking and was staring up at the castle before him. It still stood seven stories high and was so heavily guarded that even an ant couldn't get through without a border or id check.
"Strange isn't it, being here after being gone so long? I wonder if it still looks as it did on the inside since I left. Knowing the Ice prince up there though he had it all remodeled to erase every memory of us." He smiled at his sister as they continued to walk behind the rest of the group taking in the place that they had once called home.
"Lord Sesshoumaru!" A screechy voice called out to them and he saw Sesshouri's eyes light up at the sound. He smiled secretly along with her. He knew she was thinking of torturing the imp again. He remembered all of the old times when she and he had snuck around finding limitless ways to torture the imp and make his life miserable as he made theirs.
"Ohhhhhhhh Jaken!" She cried as she swung out towards the imp who froze then turned to run back and side then thought better of it and hid behind Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru may I borrow the little imp behind you for a moment or two?" She asked sweetly knowing she would get her way. He nodded and moved out of the way for her to grab the imp that stood shivering and murmuring about crazy Inu's.
"Jaken if I didn't know better I would think that you didn't like me at all. And here I was all happy to see you and what do you do you go hiding behind my brother. I am hurt." She smiled at the fear in the small youkai's eyes.
She turned to Inuyasha and showed him what she held. He smiled maniacally and took a step forward and the imp and the rest of the group watched as they seemed to have a silent conversation before they both turned to the shaking imp who was beginning to believe he wasn't going to survive this encounter without missing something vital. He sighed in relief and then screamed when he felt the burning in his back side. He turned to see a acid hand being held very close to him and screamed as he took of running. Inuyasha chased the screaming baka while flinging little things at him to scare him. By the time he was done the little imp was so useless that he was sure that a gnat would put up a better fight.
"Brilliant job ototo." Sesshouri congratulated him as he walked back to her. He heard some sputtering and coughing and turned to see his three friends trying to keep themselves from laughing. Inuyasha frowned. What was so funny? Then he realized that Sesshouri had just put him and the word brilliant in the same sentence without the word not.
His claws clenched and his eye brow ticked as he kept himself from hitting them all upside the head for laughing at him.
"Come Inuyasha ignore them for now we have better things to worry about then the fact they do not see you as smart." She stated as she turned to enter the castle behind a very bored looking taiyoukai. He gave his friends one last glare and turned to follow his brother and sister into the castle that was a great part of his past.
The ningens and the kitsune followed them inside and were surprised at the magnificence of it all. There was silver, gold, diamonds, crystals, jewels and other things encrusted everywhere. Fine rugs covered the floor and upon them there were fine wooden furniture. They all followed the Stoic taiyoukai and the hanyou as they watched the demoness carry herself up the stairs and out of their sight.
OOOOOO
Kagome watched as about twenty minutes later Sesshouri rejoined them in what seemed to be a long black kimono with golden moons and stars about the sleeves and color and a large golden dog on the back. The kimono was split up both sides of her legs allowing her a lot of freedom to move around in. She had her long pinkish silver hair brushed and shiny so that whenever she moved you would catch a glint of either pink or silver. She also had her tail hung over both shoulders as she had seen their father had done when she had seen the pictures of him. But the thing that attracted her most to Sesshouri's new attire was the beautiful sword that was hanging at her side. The sword was elegant like Tensiega and Tetsuseiga, but it had a silver jewel that was set in the hilt in the shape of a crescent moon.
Sesshouri noticed the young miko's attention to her sword and smiled. The sword was another of her father's that he had made for her.
"My father had this one made of a fang and his blood. This sword is unlike Tetsuseiga and Tensiega though. Boukon here can collect the souls that she has killed and take away the power that the souls hold." She smiled down at the sword then looked back up at the group.
"Boukon was given to me because my father felt that he should leave me something too and he also knew that I would not be taken over by the power of the sword itself just as Sesshoumaru is not taken over by the demonic power of Tokijin." She smiled as her brother frowned at her. He hadn't know that she knew.
"Well I see that the whore is finally back. I was finally beginning to believe that you were really dead and here you go and prove me wrong. Typical." A sly female voice said from behind her. Sesshouri had felt the youkai approach but she hadn't wanted to worry about her until she had to.
She turned to look at the demoness and raised an identical brow to that of Sesshoumaru's at the youkai's words.
"Well I see that things around her really haven't changed as I had thought they had. Oh well, all the better for me, now I can kick your ass once more." She smiled at the angry youkai in front of her who had now begun to bare her fangs and her eyes had begun to bleed red.
"You bitch you shall pay for those words. You shall see." She seethed as she ascended upon Sesshouri who was staring at her with a blank expression that turned to one of delight.
"What ever you say Ashari."
