Chapter 4: Family Reunion
"Nice to see you again, dear little brother."
"I-Inuyasha? ….Inuyasha!" I smiled. "Wait….you're his brother? You never mentioned having a-"
"Shut up Luna. We may share a father but he's no brother of mine."
I looked down. "I didn't think you'd come. You hadn't and it's been a month."
"Sorry bout that. I couldn't find your scent. Obviously someone didn't want you found. I never would've guessed it was you Sesshomaru."
"You have no business in what I do."
"Yes we do you jerk. What'd you take my sister for?!"
"Kagome, don't piss him off." I warned. "I don't want him to hurt you."
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about me stupid!"
"Bu-"
"Both of you shut up! Fight after I've finished rescuing her."
I blushed lightly.
"You wish to take her?"
"That's the point. I wouldn't be wasting my time here otherwise."
"B-be careful Inuyasha. He's very strong."
"I know but I am too."
"She shall not leave from here."
Kagome pulled out a bow and arrow. "Let my sister go. We may fight a lot and act like we hate each other but she's still my sister!"
Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga. "If you're smart you'll let her go."
Sesshomaru placed his hand on my shoulder. "Would you dare use Tetsusaiga with her so near?"
Inuyasha growled. "How dare you touch her?!"
"Does that bother you? Then why not do something you'll really hate." He tightly grabbed both of my shoulders and pulled my kimono down to reveal my collar bone.
"Wh-what are you-" I was cut off as he bit my collarbone roughly, piercing the skin. I let out a shocked cry.
"Luna!" InuYasha yelled.
Sesshomaru pulled away and I quickly put a hand to my bleeding wound.
"Luna! Are you ok?" Inuyasha sheathed Tetsusaiga and ran toward me. He pulled my hand away to inspect the injury. "You…How dare you?! How dare you mark her?!"
"M-mark?"
"It's not like you were going to."
"How do you know? I can't now, that's for sure."
"I'm sure she'd rather you didn't. Why would she want a half-breed?"
"What's going on?"
"What's me being half got to do with this?"
"Hello? I want an answer. Why'd I get bit? What do you mean 'mark'? Why does my neck feel all tingly?"
Inuyasha sighed. "He mated you. That bite will be there forever as proof that…that…"
"That you are mine."
"I'm not yours. I don't belong to anyone. And if you hate humans so much then why the hell would you mate one?!"
"Do not question me."
"Inuyasha pulled out Tetsusaiga. "Stay behind me."
I nodded and did as he said.
"You believe you can protect her?"
"I'll die before I'll let you have her!" Inuyasha snarled.
"Inuyasha…."
"Just let me protect you Luna. I won't let him have you."
"How will you keep her from me?"
Inuyasha ran at him and cut his arm.
"Ow!!" I grabbed my arm.
"What?" Inuyasha turned to look at me.
"It feels like I got cut but there's no wound or anything."
"Weird."
"Not really." Sesshomaru cut down his arm with his claw. "You feel it, don't you?"
I held my arm and winced. "What the hell?!"
"That is the bond. You feel what I feel. Emotions, physical feeling."
I narrowed my eyes. "I don't want it. Take it back."
"He can't. The only way it'll go away is if he dies or if a demon with a presence stronger than him marks him. Demons mate for life."
"Then how come you're a half-demon and he's not?"
"Father never mated his mother. Only mine."
"Only that mortal wench."
"I don't want to be with that sadistic bastard! It's not fair!"
"I'd cut you to pieces if it wasn't for that bond. Count yourself lucky."
"Inuyasha…"
"Get on my back Luna."
"What?"
"Now!"
I flinched and quickly got onto his back.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sesshomaru cracked his knuckles.
"Away from here. If you think I'll just abandon her after I finally found where she was you're a fool."
"You'll be wasting you're time. I'll find her wherever you take her."
"No you won't. I'll make sure of that."
I gripped Inuyasha's shoulders tightly as he started to run. Sango and the others jumped on Kilala and followed close behind.
"Where are we going?"
"Far away from here. He will not place his hands on you. I swear it."
I placed my head on his shoulder. "Thank you Inuyasha. I don't want to go back there."
"I know." He held me carefully.
I blushed. "You're touching my ass, pervert."
He glanced at me. "You want me to drop you?"
"N-no. Not really."
"Then shut up."
"O-ok…." I blushed more.
He ran to ward the dry well.
"Why are we here?"
"You're going home."
"Huh? Why?"
"I don't think he can go to your time. Its safest there."
"B-but I want to stay and help collect jewel shards!"
"Shut up." He jumped into the well.
I sniffled. "I want to help…"
He carried me into my house. "I don't care."
My mother peaked around the corner. "Welcome home dear. Hello Inuyasha."
"Hey. Luna is not allowed to come back unless I come get her." He set me down.
"Inuyasha!"
"I told you to shut up! If you don't want to be around him then stay here."
I looked down. "I-I don't want to. You guys are my friends." I wiped my eyes.
"D-Don't cry!"
"Why is she not allowed Inuyasha?"
"She needs to stay away from my brother."
I looked away and touched my neck lightly.
"I'll….go make some tea." My mom said, walking into the kitchen.
"I'll stay here till you come back." I mumbled.
"Don't be sad, Idiot. If you get stuck with Sesshomaru then you won't get to see any of us."
I bit my lip. "I know…."
"Stupid." He pulled me into a hug and I gasped.
"Wh-what are you doing?"
"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him."
"I-It's not your fault. I-"
"I should've done it when I first thought about it."
"Thought about what?"
"Marking you. I could have but…" He tightened his grip on me. "Now I've lost you. To him of all people."
"Inuyasha?"
"You could've been mine but I hesitated."
"Y-you like Kikyo and Kagome, not me."
"Kagome? No. And I once had feelings toward Kikyo but she killed me and is now a dead woman among the living."
I blushed darkly. "I…you…I'll stay here."
"I promise with everything I have I'll protect you."
I pulled away. "You should go."
"I'll come back as soon as I have a plan." He kissed my lips quickly and ran back to the well.
I stood…..Confused as hell.
