Whoa! Inuyasha's feeling some guilt around here, and Sesshomaru isn't very happy! What will happen? Well, if you want to know then start reading!

Chapter 4: Symbol of White Dog

Inuyasha stood up but instead of running after Sesshomaru, he walked towards the balcony of his room. He sighed and felt something inside of him when he thought of what had just happened. I thought he would have yelled at me, gotten mad, or even try to punish me in some way. But he just asks me a question and leaves? Something about him has changed, and it all started with me coming here. Though, when he saw me, he didn't act so surprise. Does he actually know about my transformation? And, why does some of my demonic appearance stay? Inuyasha closed his eyes and his hand reached up to his face. He couldn't take it; he couldn't take knowing questions that had yet to be answered. He could not take this guilty feeling about not telling him about the New Moon. Inuyasha could NOT take that Sesshomaru had treated him like a father would treat his son and in return, he didn't even trust him enough to tell him his most guarded secret.

"I'm gonna go crazy after this damn night." Inuyasha continued to stay out in the balcony until he finally came to his senses. "I gotta go find him and… do something to fix this damn mess!" Inuyasha knew running out of the castle then searching for his father would just be idiotic, so there was only one thing to do. I could just jump off the balcony and then look for him around the castle. The only damn problem is that I dunno if my demonic powers are still here. My appearance is like a demon, but my powers might be gone. Good chance to find out! Inuyasha took in a deep breath and jumped off. But as soon as he jumped off, he grabbed on to a tree branch because he felt like a human when he jumped off. "What the HELL is going on around!" He started to climb down the tree and when he was close enough to the ground, he jumped off.

He wandered around outside for a while until he saw Sesshomaru sitting under a tree. He tried to sneak up at him, but it wouldn't work. "What do want Inuyasha? It's futile to try and surprise me." Sesshomaru turned his head to Inuyasha who sat down next to him.

"I wanna talk to you." Sesshomaru made no response but nodded, which was a signal for him to continue. "How come I don't look all human? The New Moon supposed to be the night when I become human and guess what, it's that night and I don't look all human!"

"The mark on your forehead." Inuyasha moved his hand towards his head and rubbed it. "What about it?"

"Inuyasha, I've known that you turn human on one given night, which involved one of the phases of the moon. I never knew which one so when I put that mark on your forehead, it was because the next phase was the New Moon and I had to do it quick." Inuyasha made a slight smirk because if he told him, then he would have prevented this craziness.

"I don't see how this has anything to do with me not looking human." Sesshomaru was getting a little tired of these questions, but if Inuyasha kept asking them, then he had to keep answering them. "That is the symbol of the white dog, and it came from my fang. So when you turn human, you don't look like one. But your powers are still gone until sunrise." Inuyasha stared out into the horizon and then noticed that the sun was starting to come up. The light continued to drape the land and soon, the sunlight reached Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. His hair began to change from black to silver and his eyes changed from that hollow brown to warm golden. Inuyasha's claws also began to grow back to it's own size and the mark remained unchanged. "Why didn't you tell me? If you were able to tell your friends, then why not your own father?" Inuyasha looked over to his father and was a little stunned that he talked first.

"I… I didn't wanna tell you because some of me still don't trust you. I guess it's a little hard for me to think of you as my father… instead of my older half-brother. But, since this damn crescent moon's on my head, I gotta take it as true." Inuyasha turned his eyes to Sesshomaru and wondered for a bit. Why the hell didn't he start yelling at me? Looks like some things do change. There was some peace between them for a bit until Inuyasha was felt some calmness in him and it was obviously Sesshomaru feeling that.

"Why you so calm? Something to do with the scenery or maybe because you finally decided to hold that damn anger of yours?" Sesshomaru smirked at Inuyasha and looked up.

"Do you know what tree this is?" Inuyasha looked above him and was suddenly confused. "This is the same tree where I put Izayoi to rest under." Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and started to scoot away from him.

"I don't need to know about your sex life! I'm proof enough, all right!" He felt like barfing after he said it. I don't need to see that image of my mom and dad sharing a bed together! Wait… did I just call him dad out of my own free will? Sesshomaru watched his son's reaction and was slightly amused at this. Once the sunrise was over, Sesshomaru stood up and Inuyasha was taken of his thoughts. "Hey, where you going?"

"Outside the castle. Inuyasha, stand up." One eyebrow was raised and Inuyasha slowly stood up, not knowing what Sesshomaru was going to do. Then he started to walk up next to him. "Come with me."

"Why?"

"So everyone shall know that you are Prince Inuyasha of the Western Lands." He smiled when he heard that he was prince. When Sesshomaru started to walk, so did Inuyasha.

Meanwhile

Kagome's eyes fluttered opened and saw that it was already morning. She stretched out her arms and legs and wondered how Inuyasha's night was. I bet nothing happened at all! I'll ask him. But I don't even know where his room is. Wait… Shippo can find it through his scent. Kagome eyed the sleeping kitsune next to her and she slightly shook him. Shippo stirred and his emerald eyes opened to see Kagome. "Hey Kagome, what is it?"

"Can you find Inuyasha's room for me?" Shippo nodded and started to run out of the room and Kagome ran after him. He stopped a couple of times to check if he was going the right way and after a few minutes, he stopped in front of a room. "His scent is definitely all over here."

"Thanks Shippo." Kagome opened the door to find a huge room and a luxurious bed. "His room's bigger than mine! Well, he is the prince of this castle." She eyed the bed and saw that no one was there. Kagome wondered where he was and thought that he was maybe in the kitchen. Since she was running so fast, Kagome almost bumped into Miroku but she managed to stop in time. "Kagome, you should watch where you're going next time."

"Sorry! Did you see Inuyasha?"

"Last night, before sundown. He ran into his room and Sesshomaru went after him." Kagome gasped and started to fear the worst. Sesshomaru couldn't try to kill Inuyasha, would him? Miroku could see the worry in his friend's face, so he tried to calm her down. "Don't worry, Kagome. I'm sure that wherever Inuyasha is, he's safe and sound." Kagome did feel a little better, but not that much.

"Sango!" The Taijiya looked up and saw her friend approaching her. "Did you see Inuyasha last night?"

"Yeah. But if you were looking for him right now, I just saw him leave with Sesshomaru." She let a sigh for now she wasn't worried about Inuyasha anymore. Sango and Kagome went off to take their baths and Shippo had to guard them, in case Miroku tried to be a pervert again by watching them. The day pretty much went by slowly and when it was almost sundown, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had not yet returned.

"They should've come back by now, where are they?" Shippo wondered out loud and suddenly he saw the two walk through the gate, but Inuyasha had some blood on him and it looked like he had a cut on his arm. When he was close enough, Shippo ran up to him. "Hey Inuyasha, how come you've got blood all over you?"

"I got into a couple of fights. You would think these people would show respect the their prince, not try to pick a fight! So, I had to teach them how to… respect me better." This was enough to make Sesshomaru want to roll his eyes, and he almost went along with the urge. But instead, he decided to say what really happened.

"Everyone was respecting you because I was there and one foolish demon tried to kill you because you weren't a full yokai. This Sesshomaru killed him for you, but you were too much of a fool to get out of the way and you got injured." Shippo laughed when he heard the truth and then called Inuyasha a big dummy. And that earned him a huge bump on his head. Sesshomaru went inside and left Inuyasha and Shippo alone to fight. Since Inuyasha is not full yokai, there will be attempts on his life. But he doesn't even realize that. One question remains: How many times will other yokai try assassinating him?

AAAWWW! Sesshy cares about his son enough to call him a fool for not listening to him! HAHAHA Next chapter will be the last and I promise you that. By the way, I can't write the next chapter unless you review. See you soon:)
