Chapter 4-An explanation

"Hey, what do you think your doing?" Shippo demanded.

"What does it look like I am doing I am throwing you out the room." Inuyasha stated as he carried the fox kit out the room.

"But why are you throwing me out now, I want to hear what you are going to say." Shippo whined trying to get out of the dog demon hands.

"Because it does not concern you, so shoo." Inuyasha stated throwing the young demon out the room. After a good glare to make sure the kit left the hallway he shut the door to face the other occupants in the room.

Three of them stared at him with different expressions set on their faces. The first being Miroku with a calm and patient face though his eyes seemed to be surprised that Inuyasha was actually going to tell them something about himself.

Sango had an anxious expression as if she could not tell who to be more worried about, Kagome for whatever information Inuyasha was going to say it would most likely hurt her, and it may hurt Inuyasha for having to tell it.

Then the other occupant waiting in the room looking at Inuyasha happened to be Kilala. Kagome fainted after getting over her shock and no one really had the heart to revive her.

Inuyasha soon joined the others and after a while he began to talk.

"All right, I guess you can say that it started when about one hundred and fifty years ago…"

Flashback

An eighteen year old Inuyasha was walking excitedly through the forest carrying a set of fish. Though he was aged at eighteen he looked like he was barely even seven. At the age of eight he was chased out of his village following his mother's death.

For ten years he had lived roaming in forests daring to come out only on his human nights where he would wander the streets of towns and villages pretending to be a pauper or orphan. It was not an easy life to live for the young dog demon; some days he did not eat, he was constantly on a demons meal ticket, and he can count the times on his hand when he should have been dead. The day was looking to be a good day for Inuyasha, as headed to his cave happily to settle for a decent meal for once until he felt a strong amount of demon energy.

Inuyasha first instinct was to stop his body from running, if there is one thing he learned it was that running away always gets a demon attention. That just screams to any demon senses that you are prey and a fearful prey at that; and well the easiest meal to catch is a scared and stiffed meal.

Inuyasha tried to be small and less noticeable as possible and proceeded to pass the area of the demon thinking to himself that perhaps he was safe. As soon as he was at the cave he saw a demon standing there. Inuyasha cursed his luck as he began to inspect the demon.

The demon had long silver hair shining in the sunlight. He would have mistaken the creature for an angel if the demon markings and golden eyes were not such a giveaway to his heritage.

Before Inuyasha could have time to process why the demon would be standing in front of his cave the demon looked exactly at where he was standing and stated "come here half-breed."

Knowing that he had a little or no choice to ignore the demon Inuyasha slowly approached the noble (from what Inuyasha can guess by his clothes) demon hoping that he wanted to look at him with morbid curiosity. Inuyasha find that a lot of the noble demons seemed to get a kick out of just looking at him, some even tried taking him home as a pet but he sooner left before they give chase. As soon as Inuyasha was close to the demon he heard him murmured, "So this is the half-breed father gave his life for."

"Before I knew it I was living the life of a prince, highly educated, decent meals, and the finest things I could ever want." Inuyasha stated with a bit of bitterness to it.

"I am going to take a guess here and think that it was not all it seemed." queried Miroku.

Inuyasha snorted, "Sure it was great if you liked to be constantly under a schedule, forced to follow arbitrary rules for every little thing you do and all this with servants sneering at your back."

"And my so called guardian was the worst, treating me like I could do nothing for myself." Inuyasha muttered in anger.

Flashback

"Enter." Sesshomaru stated as he continued to write on the scrolls. Entering the room was a then one hundred and forty year old Inuyasha. Though he lived by nearly a century in a half he merely looked barely over the age of fifteen. He stormed into Sesshomaru's study and sat down huffily as he waited for his brother to acknowledge him.

Rolling his eyes at his younger brother display Sesshomaru decided to just bite the bullet and see what was with his brother's new bratty attitude, well his new worse then usual bratty attitude.

"The tutors have reported that you have not been showing up for lessons." Sesshomaru started as he put aside his papers to look at his younger sibling. Inuyasha merely made a scoffing noise as his reply.

"This is the fifth time in three days the guards have had to find you and drag you back home you know." Snapped Sesshomaru as Inuyasha merely muttered for his defense.

"Okay Inuyasha could you just simply tell me why you have been pulling these little stunts and this attitude for the last two months and what can be done to fix them." Sesshomaru stated voice slowly rising show that his patience was on its last end.

"I am tired of looking at these stupid walls." Inuyasha stated sullenly. Sesshomaru raised a brow.

"Fine, how about we move to the red castles then since I know that you we-"

"Not with you, I want, damn it why can't you just send me to Uncle's." Inuyasha complained staring angrily at his brother.

"We are not due at Uncle's because I wanted to wait for your betrothal ceremony." Sesshomaru stated looking at the ends of his patience. When he was met with a blank look from his brother he explained further.

"It was suppose to be a surprise but since you soon will becoming of age I have wanted to announce to you your ne-"

"Who is it?" Inuyasha quickly interrupted.

"Why me of course, I would make the perfect mate for you..." Sesshomaru stated as he continued to list of reasons for there mating Inuyasha could only look with a blank face.

It was like everything snapped in Inuyasha mind, all he could see was his self forever tied to his older brother constantly living under his shadow the feeling was so suffocating and so scary for him that he responded the easiest was he knew; with anger.

Sesshomaru was an expecting a look of awe maybe shock or even happiness from Inuyasha but when he saw a look of horror instead he growled at the insult his brother dare to give him.

"You ungrateful whelp, I should have left you in the woods." Sesshomaru hissed as stared down at Inuyasha.

"Better to live in the woods than to be with you all my life." Inuyasha hissed in return, a growl followed with his older brother grabbing him by the throat then throwing him out the window into the garden below.

Inuyasha crashed into the Carp pond at the center of the garden. Growling at his older brother he leapt over the wall and left. The guards ready themselves to go after him when Sesshomaru appeared before them.

"Halt, let him go do not even bother going after him." He stated as he watched his younger brother leave with a feeling he would not be back for awhile.

That day Inuyasha vowed to never return "home" of course he would soon be looking for the jewel, then Kikyo and finishing full circle with Inuyasha right back into the palace and court life.

"What about Sonya." Everyone turned to what seemed to be a wide awake Kagome. She was looking at Inuyasha with a bit of concern revealing that she did hear all of the story but with a graveness showing that she was determined to know who the woman "Sonya" was.
