Sesshoumaru's POV

After awhile, I managed to calm down and looked around to survey the extent of the damage my outburst had caused.

Well, too bad for the servants, they're going to have to re-plant more trees.

Hmn...wonder where Inuyasha is...he was and still is the only one who could get a rise out of me...

I smirked and looked around to try and locate Inuyasha. His scent came on the breeze, but what caught my attention was the smell of tears that accompanied it.

I have never seen him cry in all my two hundred years...all that he has shown me where his hatred and cockiness. I wonder who or what has caused him such agony?

I located him, and followed his scent. I stopped before the tree he was in and gazed up at him...

My Inuyasha...

Wait a minute...what I just say? Or thought?

Shaking my head to clear it, I jumped up and sat myself down in front of Inuyasha.

Inuyasha's POV

I was crying, and suddenly, I felt Sesshoumaru seat himself before me.

"Why Sesshoumaru...why did you bring me back only to reject me yet again?"

"Inuyasha..."

"I'm confused...it seems that no one will accept me for who I am..."

Sesshoumaru's POV

Oh no, he must have interpreted it wrongly when I told him to get away from me...

I feel guilty...

"Inuyasha...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way...I wanted you to get away from me because if you hadn't, I might have hurt you..."

He stopped his crying and stared up at me with a tiny flicker of hope in his eyes.

He must have really been hurt...his eyes no longer have their defiant, arrogant look...

Now they look lost...and haunted with such agony it kills anyone to think about what he had gone through...

His eyes were his voice.

"Really?" they said.

I nodded, and leaned forward to envelope him in a hug. I switched our positions, so that I had my back against the trunk, and settled Inuyasha down in my lap. I wrapped my arms loosely around his waist and nuzzled him.

God...his scent is so intoxicating...

My mind was in a mess and I couldn't get a coherent thought together.

Author's Note: heyy everyone...sorry for the late update. CTs and such. Anyways, reviews please! X))
