Our Family chapter 4
The thunder boomed like an angry demon, and the lightning flashed every so often, giving Inuyasha a terrible nightmare.
The young dog demon's ears twitched softly, almost falling limp as he heard the wind whistle a sombre tune of some sort, making the Sakura tree near by his glass window to reach out it's long, deadly branches and scrape the delicate material.
The boy huddled closer to himself, infact nonethless Inuyasha was at the level to scream at the top of his lungs and piss in his pants. Though no one can blame the young pup.
He had turned 4 years old to be exact, a few months ago. The saying went like this ' when a pup was the exact age of 4 winters, he/she must and had to take responsiblitly of there life in there own hands.'
Inuyasha nervously fiddled with the sleeve of his fire rat kimono, which his mother had made for him, especially. He favored the kimono and took very good care of it, but not as much as he would have liked. One time when he was out playing in the gardens he accidentally had wet himself and the kimono. Feeling the urge to get wet.
Inuyasha did a funny thing with his toes, shuddering when he thought about the moss covered ground of the koi pond he had before socked his kimono in. His gaze was transfixed on the walls, suddenly. He whimpered as he saw what looked like people dancing on the walls.
Calling him to join them, of course though he would decline there request. Mother had always told him to never talk to strangers, even if it meant in your room. I think.
A thought seemed to float through his head as he thought for a moment, 'was his older brother ever this afraid of the dark, and if he was how did he overcome his fear.' This made Inuyasha doze of a bit as he put a chubby hand on his chin, much like his older brother when he was studying in the library.
His golden eyeballs rising until they met the ceiling. The sound of the thunder cracked again making the young boy's eyes widen in fear and surprise. He let out a small gasp before gulping and leaning back a bit.
"i wish sessy was here, then i could ask how he got rid of his fear for the dark" sighing in disappointment the boy decided to think once more about his brother.
Inuyasha loved his older brother and would do anything in his will to help him. The thing Inuyasha didn't no was that sesshomaru despised him and his mother. The hateful glares the young boy received from the elder only made him smile, why though?
Inuyasha remembered having a talk with his mother
Flashback
"mommy why does sesshy hate me!" he wined while rubbing his eyes from the tears that secretly slipped past his cheek.
Izayoi took in a shaky sigh before putting on a fake smile, and stroking the young pup's moonlight hair.
"no my dear, sweet son, your brother does not hate you-"
She was cut off by Inuyasha who pouted cutely
"then why does he give me one of those glares, there scary and, and , and i think he want's to kill me!" inuyasha gasped getting more frightened, by his brothers actions.
Izayoi shook her head before answering " no Inuyasha, he would never kill you, your his only sibling and flesh and blood, he wouldn't stoop down so low to kill you" she reassured him
Wiping away more tears away, he looked back at his mothers light chocolate warm eyes.
"you sure about that, mommy?" he asked in case while sobbing slightly
She lightly laughed and nodded " yes Inuyasha, mommy is positive and if he ever did you know what your father would do'" she looked away sadly.
"And besides dear whats there to be afraid of you have me, and your father" she softly spoke
An idea suddenly popped through her mind and she grinned at the young hanyou "you know inuyasha, i heard that when someone always bothers you or teases you..." she trailed off while looking up at the sky.
He narrowed his eyes wanting to no what she had to say, hw waited patiently for a while, but she never spoke her stare still fixed up at the midnight sky.
He blinked a few moments before getting annoyed " mommy. mommy, what did you want to say to me, I'm waiting, please tell" he whimpered and spoke fast.
She looked down and smiled "well Inuyasha i heard when that happens, it's a sign of love"
He grinned and got up while foisting his hand " are you sure mommy, so your saying the more sesshy is mean to me the more he loves me, as much as i love him!" he practitcally yelled
She shushed him and he smiled, but his smile was cut short from the yawn that escaped his mouth.
End of flashback
Inuyasha thought was his mother told him, was it really true did his brother truly love him as much as he did? thoughts of his brother ran through his head once more, he didn't notice the door knob slowly and calmly turn, then the door creek open.
Inuyasha flinched as he heard the dreadful sound, but he was thankful that the pure darkness in his room was broken, letting the bright light from the hallways pool in like a wave washing in.
Sparing a glance at the door, Inuyasha gulped and scrambled further back until his back hit the wall. His eyes followed upwards as he saw a tall figure tower over his small body. Shutting his eyes shut and not daring to peel them open, his mind spurred inside of him like a storm. On and on it twirled never sotpping, his heart beat seemed to pulse faster and the blood in his veins seemed to grow even more.
The hanyou bit his lip to not prevent him from crying. Oh no was it a stranger that he and his mother talked about or maybe an evil demon that loved to tease and devour little kids like him, now he regretted reading all those spooky tales from his mother. Remembering when she specifically told him not to listen to them.
Oh but no he wanted to act tough and strong like his brother and father and make her proud that this boy washer son. To protect his mother from evil creatures lurking in every corner.
"what is your problem halfbreed?" a cold yet serene voice emerged from before him, mixing in with the loud thumps of his heart pulsing through his ears.
Inuyasha however reconsigned the voice far from existence. opening a eye and repeating the same low action with the other, similar amber eyes met with each other.
"niisan, what are you doing here?" he whispered while rubbing his eyes, hoping it wasn't a dream of some sort an illusion that was only to keep his hopes up.
Sesshomaru glared at the boy for a moment, but what surprised him the most was that the half breed knew his manners all to well, his eyes swept the scene before him and he gave in a smug smile watching in amusement as the half breed bowed politely with respect to his elder.
But like sand being washed off the beach sesshonmaru's smug smile lowered and finally cleared to reveal a misunderstanding, a frown was replaced instead. The young boy cocked his head in confusion as to his niisan's actions and mood swings.
"niisan, angry, why?" he asked innocently while fiddling with his kimono sleeve. Having difficulty in seeing his brothers handsome face from the towering height. Sesshomaru sighed half in boredom and the other half in annoyance.
"no Inuyasha i am not angry, I'm here to see why your still awake it's way past your bedtime and that mother of yours is complaining to father about your strange behivour which is also affecting my lack of sleep, so i had no choice but to ask you why is it that your acting so strange and not getting any sleep." he quietly ended while kneeling down on one knee before the young hanyou.
Inuyasha looked in awe at his brothers small speech, gulping he shyly glanced at his pale features.
I-I- I'm so sorry niisan i didn't mean to keep you awake- i was..." he trailed off while apologizing deeply, sesshomaru almost growled, the half breeds emotions where just as though he was his mother himself. it was so weird. How could 2 souls act so much alike?
He mentally slapped himself. Of course! she was his mother they had to have some sort of similarities. leaving sesshomaru off guard as he protested about souls and life he didn't notice inuyasha step forward, bravely, cup his cheek gently and kiss it.
sesshomau felt soft lips press gently against his skin, making him shocked. How dare the half breed touch him like that! scowling he pushed inuyasha back while getting up, turning the other way he gently touched his cheek where he was kissed. Smiling secretly, he sure had to admit the half breed did no somethings and wasn't useless after all.
Shaking away the thoughts he growled low in his throat, scaring the poor pup. Inuyasha took in deep breaths as terror filled his eyes. fiddling with his fingers a blush rose on his face, he looked so stupid.
Inuyasha and sesshomaru didn't speak for a while just stood there looking at one another, the younger sibling decided to speak before the scilence dragged on to long. Fisting his hands he spoke harshly
"what is your problem, Inuyasha, why are you behaving in such a inappropriate manner, it's beyond me. !" he snapped. Making Inuyasha flinch as tears streamed down his face and his face only flushed harder, the embarrassment was weighing him down making it hard to breath and speak. Sesshomaru however waited patiently not caring or noticing.
"I-I" he shakly spoke while he looked about his surrondings, sweat seemed to pour down his skin like a water fall.
Sesshomaru sighed and raised an eyebrow, Inuyasha was biting his nails and speaking gibberish. The young boy closed his eyes and shouted out.
"i love you sesshy!" he practically yelled at the top of his lungs. Making sesshomaru scowl and flush in embarrassment as he heard talking outside the doors. Inuyasha felt half of the tension flow off, happy that everyone heard what he had to say. Proud he giggled happily while hugging his brothers leg.
"awwwwe!" some servant girls said as they peered from the doors. giggling at how cute they looked. suddenly loud and eager footsteps emerged through the halls, making the girlie girl servants stop at there complementing and cooing.
The brunette servant exchanged glances with the red head. Terrror could be read on there faces. Wanting to survive and live a long life ahead they decided to run away as fast as there legs could carry them.
The ecohing of the servants made sesshomaru growl. ' ridiculous!' The stillness made him angry and what made him the most was the half breed that was oh so lovingly nuzzling his leg, like a real dog. Sharping his claws, the elder sibling smirked evilly while hissing in detest.
' Time to kill some half breed' he thought. positioning his claws in a 'kill' position, his fun was distracted by the loud growl that reached his ears from the doors. knowing that he didn't like the idea one bit.
glancing down at the hanyou he had the urge to just shred him to a million pieces, like the time when he was no younger then 5 winters and he decided to shread his mothers kimono's to make his old man proud, but after the encounter all he got was a nice, big beating. Cracking his knuckles he looked harder at the half breed.
But something inside of him told him to stop and instead of hurt him, he should protect him. shaking his head he growled once more.
' look this brat is the one that snatched all the love your father gave to you! and if I'm right isn't he the one who got your parents seperated'
Sesshomaru growled ' no actually that wrench human woman was the one who got my parents divorced' he spoke back. His patience running thin like a loose thread any moment about to break.
who cares if he murdered his half brother, in fact wouldn't the court be happy that the trouble of a half breed was taken care of, also they'll be his back up and will talk some sense into the old man. His claws twitched as poison began to seep through the tips, giving it an envy bright green glow.
The growl near the door became louder and more deeper. Even worst then the thunder that boomed outdoors. sesshomaru flinched, he had to do this, he had to take it like a man. Inuyasha's fragile ears picked up a sound of some sort and his eyes widened in fear as he saw what looked like green liquid pouring infront of him and eating the wooden floors.
He stiffened and looked up slowly to see crimson eyes starring back at him. The young boy yelped and let go of his brothers leg and fell straight on his butt. Sesshomaru felt this to be the perfect chance and was about to swipe his claws and finish the problem but he was stopped.
"sesshomaru!" an angry voice hollered from behind. Awaking every person in the palace. Sesshomaru stiffened much like his brother, eyes turning back to amber, the poison vanishing right away like it wasn't even there.
He had just mastered that ability while training with his father in the soujo a few weeks ago. Inutaisho as well as himself was surprised to see this attack, it was rare and not much youkai could master it. He found out that this special technique was given to him by his mother's side of the family. So it was true like every one had said, sesshomaru was a lot like his mother then his old man.
"father" he spoke back coldly while glancing at the enraged dog general, eyes crimson, teeth gritted, nostrils flaring, blood slowly leaking from the pressure of clencting his fist. "i am ashamed to have created a son like you, what are you thinking to kill and spread blood shed at such a young age is beyond your limits!"
sesshomaru rolled his eyes and turned towards his father. "actually, I'm pretty mature for my age, thank you! and yes I was ready to kill and slaughter what wasn't important in this world, but sadly you stopped me and that was the most biggest mistake ever made!" sesshomaru said glaring at his old man.
Inutaisho was at the urge to punch him, cracking his knuckles he spoke dangerously
"that's it boy, you just crossed the limits, prepare to act like a real man because when I'm done your going to be wishing that you weren't even born" he hissed
sesshomaru gulped softly and took a step back, loosing all his cool. 'shit this was it, the end, heh who gives a crap around here any where's maybe the after world isn't as bad as people describe it to be, I'll manage... i hope' he thought as he saw Inutaisho close in on him.
Planing his future plans in hell he didn't notice the intense pain that rose from his head. Biting his lip he shut his eyes and cupped his head. Blood spluttered out from his mouth as he felt the air being knocked out of him. Falling to the ground, sesshomaru coughed violently while clutching his stomach. He was at the moment to scream his ass of when he heard his leg bones crack.
Inutaisho wiped the sweat away from his forehead, showing no Mercy at all, the boy had to learn to respect others. Taking out a belt he slashed it on sesshomaru's back. watching the boy in so much pain, made him laugh a little. Growling sesshomaru screamed again as loud as he possibly could. Scaring the daylights out of Inuyasha who sat in a corner crying his eyes out, terror stricken.
Never in his small life had he ever seen his niisan suffer so much, it was heart breaking.
Inutaisho slashed a few more times. Inuyasha could bare it any longer and covered his ears, while curling into a small ball near the corner. The thunder boomed mixing in with sesshomaru's painful cries of mercy, as the lightning flashed illuminating the gore blood that poured through his shirt and pooled on the floor all around him.
' This is all Inuyasha's fault, damn him to hell!' sesshomaru growled in pain as he desperately cursed.
Inutaisho had finally eased and then stopped the madness. Glancing at Inuyasha he warmly smiled and came forward. Talk about 2 faced. Kneeling down in front of him his amber eyes softened. wiping away his precious son's tears away that were worth more than a million to him he picked him up, not even sparing a glance at his first born.
Inuyasha held his father's shirt tighter as another tear escaped his eye. Looking over his shoulder he almost hurled at the sight there lay his brother, his role model sesshomaru all battered up, clothes torn a little, bruises and wounds rested on his back. Shuddering Inuyasha whispered his final words "good bye sesshy stay strong, and i love you" after those emotional words he and there father left to go clean him up and put him back to bed, it was midnight and little pups like him shouldn't be awake by then.
