What If Ch.4 InuYasha's POV

I can only see black; I hear my brother's voice and someone crying. I open my eyes I see… Myself? My human and demon selves are standing over me, my human side; looking around frighten; while my Demonic side looks sick, tried, yet angry. As I sit up I look around seeing a cage, it's been sealed to keep us trapped in my mind; to keep me from getting out.

Out of nowhere I hear it, I hear Sesshomaru; I can hear his thoughts I hear everything for some reason. I hear him calling out for me, I feel the tears splashing onto my face and neck, I feel my body being held against his, but I feel something pulling on me. It's not just pulling at my body, but at my soul too. I try desperately to make my body move, to hug my brother, to kiss his soft lips; but all I can do is lie here as he suffers.

My demonic side comes towards me and my human, kneeling before both of us before engulfing us in a semi-embrace. I shiver, as it gets colder in my mind, ice forming on the cage. I feel both of them lean their heads against mine, the human with tears in his eyes, my demon holding us both; almost with care as though we would break. I hear my demon side murmuring softly to my human that everything will be fine, and licking his check.

Suddenly both my Demon's and my head looks up hearing Sesshoumaru's demon talking, "Do not give up hope, I will have you back soon." That's all that was said before his voice disappeared. All I could do is hold back my cries as my demon gently picks both of us up, before laying us both down on to his chest. He gently curls around us, holding my humans head and petting my upper-back.

After lying there quietly I hear Sesshoumaru's demon again "InuYasha, I need you to wake up, I need you to stay with me. The wench is here but you need to be awake for this to work. Please come back."

I'm not sure how I was able to, but I slowly open my eyes. Everything is bright, too bright. I feel someone holding me, I look up to see my brother, and then over to see Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Shippo in the care of my brother and his servant. I was slowly lifted into a sitting position against my brother's chest, as Sango and Miroku force Kagome towards me, and raise her hands up. As soon as they are close enough to me to put her hands under the beads and try to force her to pull them off of me. Suddenly the beads burst apart, going anywhere and everywhere. As I watch them drag Kagome off, I feel back against my Brother again. As I look up at my brother I see a small smile pulling at his lips before he leans down and kisses me gently.
