Disclaimer: I do not own the anime Inuyasha

Sorry if this chapters writing is messy, I haven't written anything in a while. Oh and the characters might be a little OOC in this chapter, I rushed it.

"..." :Talking

R&R!

------------------------------------------------------------Sesshoumaru's Castle------------------------------------------------------------------

I slowly awaken,... where am I?

I glance around this strange room I'm in, it is very elegant, fit for someone of royal status. Trying to remember what happened, everything suddenly flashes before my eyes.

Flashback

Inuyasha struggles with the last ounce of energy he has, fighting for his life. Just before he faints from exhaustion and gives in to his impending doom, he sees a blur of white in front of him...

The blur slices through the beast, cutting off piece after piece with amazing speed. I start falling when the hand is also cut off, and right before I hit the ground the blur comes right up to me and catches me, and at that moment is when I look into eyes so similar to my own, long silken hair, flawless face...Sesshoumaru...and I finally see nothing more but darkness.

End Of Flashback

I can't breathe for a second...why did he save me? Why didn't he leave me to die?

I try to slowly calm myself down, if he wanted me dead he would of killed me by now...

Getting up I slowly make my way towards the door and peak down the long, seemingly never ending hallway. I see no sign of life and decided to slowly and cautiously leave the room. I walk down and hear some scribbling on the other side of a pair of big mahogany doors with beautiful sakura blossoms carved into it. I peer inside...

And instantly meet the eyes of my beautiful half brother...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking through each scroll carefully accessing what I must concerning each piece of parchment. The life of a lord has always been a dull and uneventful one...

I hear the sound of one of the doors creaking, I glance up and meet the eyes of my half breed brother. Our gaze at one another does not last for more than 5 seconds before I return to my previous ministrations.

Footsteps echo in the spacious room, as slow paces make their way up to me. I sigh, knowing my half brother, he wont leave things be without an answer. I look up at him and he smirks, "so the great and powerful lord of the western lands decided that this rotten, half-breed should live to see another day? Well, brother, I didn't know you cared." Oh how I want to wipe the floor with that smirking face of his, but this Sesshoumaru is above such desires. Well two can play this game " ahem, dear half breed, I do not believe it is wise to start an argument dressed as you were the day you were born." Now it is my turn to smirk, he looks at me questioningly, then looks down and almost jumps, quickly grabbing a book? and covering himself with it. He was blushing so much I thought he would explode from embarrassment. "Why you, I'll get you for this Sesshoumaru!" The half-breed quickly runs out of the room, well I must admit he has a nice backside.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe this is happening to me! This has to be the most embarrassing moment of my life!

I run back to the room I woke up in and dive for the bed, quickly covering myself up with the silken sheets. The book I was holding falls open to a random page. I notice a scroll neatly pressed slip out of the book, it has the mark of the Royal Inu-Yokai family. Slowly unfolding the ancient parchment, I begin to read its contents ' My dear son Sesshoumaru, if you are reading this now then the outcome of the war resulted in my passing. My only wish is that you honour our family and protect Inuyasha, because of his gift of being a hanyou, I have chosen him, to be your future mate.'

...Future...mate? ...I drop the scroll begin to search the room, finding my fire-rat robe and picking up Tetsusaiga, I quickly dress and begin to leave, I glance back to the scroll. I pick it up and place it in my robe, its time to go back to Kagome...
