((INUYASHA POV))
I sat on a bolder over a cliff so high that I couldn't see the ground. It was just a hollow darkness that reminded so much of the darkness that has been surrounding my soul lately. Everything has just been so confusing, my father, Sesshomaru, and myself; everything has just been so crazy. I don't know how I feel or what I want anymore. I stared into the void darkness. Everything feels so empty, so dark.
I put my hand on my face then ran it through my hair roughly. Screw this; I don't feel like moving. I just want to stay here. The more I think the more I realize how ridiculous I am. What happened that week, the day of my mother's death, how I freaked on kagome. It was all stupid. I don't know why I was hurting someone I love who's alive for someone who's dead. I always do this. Hold on to the memories of some dead person and hurt kagome.
And what about what happened with Sesshomaru? Screw that too, I'm tired of thinking about dead people.
"Inuyasha," that voice. The stupid fucking voice that swears it's better than me. "Half-breed," I hate him so much. I just wish he would die. I know what I am I don't need you to say it every time I see you. I closed my eyes shut. It was like no matter where I go I couldn't get that voice out of my got damn head.
"filthy hanyou," I felt the collar of my Haori pulled and I came face to face with the voice of the man I wanted dead so bad. "What are you now deaf half breed?" I blinked his voice was so cold it made me want to crawl away.
"I have had enough of your sibling rivalry with Sesshomaru, so it ends today. You will leave the miko for now to make amends with your brother. You may of course return to her when yours and your brother's hatred have ended. You deserve to know what an Inu-Daiyokai adult's presence feels like and he is the only one who could give it to you since I am no longer here. Inuyasha, I truly wish I could have done more for you but as fate was not on my side I cannot be here for you as your father."
My father's voice echoed in my head.
"You deserve to know what an Inu-Daiyokai adult's presence feels like and he is the only one who could give it to you"
An adult inu-Daiyokai's presence?
"You will respond when I speak to you, Inuyasha" he was angry.
"I'm sorry," what the hell was that. I just spoke without my mind even realizing what I was doing. It was like when you're not paying attention and hurt someone and automatically apologize. I've never experienced that but I remember kagome mentioning it a few times when coming back from the well. I tilted my head to side and watched Sesshomaru's eyes widen in shock. I didn't understand the look of shock on Sesshomaru's face. It confused me even more in my jumbled up, fucked up brain. Sesshomaru eyes glinted red before his eyes was engulfed in it demonic color before Sesshomaru bit down on my neck. I freaked, in a matter of seconds I shoved Sesshomaru off of me and ran all the way across the cliff with my hand on my neck. I was shocked and…scared. I didn't understand what was going on. Sesshomaru bit my neck and I was scared of what he'd do next. I didn't understand, was he trying to hurt me? But it didn't hurt, at all. What in the hell was he doing? Was its something new, a new technique that he had not shown me? If so…
"Inuyasha did I say you could move," I flinched at the sound of Sesshomaru's voice and wanted to run. Run far away. Sesshomaru eyes flickered dangerously before his nose twitched. "You asked for my apology then run when I bite you" blinked at Sesshomaru like he was crazy. Wait no he was, wait no this wasn't Sesshomaru. This couldn't be him. There is no way Sesshomaru would ever bite me no matter what was going on.
"Inuyasha, come here." I wanted to run but part of me wanted to listen. Wanted to go right next to Sesshomaru and apologize. What the hell!
"Fuck you." I spat out angrily. I couldn't believe what was going. Was Sesshomaru serious? Was this really Sesshomaru? It smells like his, sounds like him, looks like him. But why does he act so differently. And then it clicked in my mind. It made so much sense now.
"Oi Sesshomaru, I don't know what kind of spell you're under but you should be strong enough to deal with it. So umm I'm gonna go."
"You will not leave. That is an order from your alpha."
((Sesshomaru POV))
It was in a clearing by a cliff that I found Inuyasha sitting on a bolder near the edge. He seemed to be so deep in thought that he didn't even realize my approach even when I stood directly beside him.
"Inuyasha," I said and waited for a response. Birds flew by but I stayed there silently waiting. But there was no response he seemed to be ignoring me. "Half-breed" I said again knowing full well that the insult would get the stupid half breed started, but it didn't. He just sat as if he was not before perfection. It pissed me off, his completely rude disregard for my presence.
I pulled Inuyasha's Haori bringing him face to face with me. "Filthy hanyou, what are you now deaf half breed?" I growled at him. I looked the hanyou straight in the eyes daring him to disrespect me again. His gold eyes where fierce and angry before they looked distant. As if Inuyasha was remembering something.
"I'm sorry," what? I stopped confused as to what Inuyasha said. It was strange that he had apologized to me. Though I was shocked it was nothing compared to how I felt when Inuyasha tilted his head to the side, baring his neck to me. I knew this move very well. It was only something done when a canine breed was asking they're Alpha for forgiveness. Whether it was your mate or child they would do it if you were Alpha, it was instinct.
'Instincts that came from they're yokai recognizing the alpha's presence'
I heard my yokai whisper in my head. It was at the instinct I knew that something was wrong. My yokai never spoke unless it was about to do something I did not like. The pulling of my subconscious called to me. Pulling me into my subconscious and gave me a front roll seat to the destruction my yokai was sure to causing.
I knew this feeling all too well. I felt basically the same. Seeing everything my yokai saw. Hearing everything my yokai heard. The only difference was that I had no control of my actions. How I reacted to things. Almost like the dreams you have that you can't control the events that happen in them.
My yokai pulled Inuyasha close to him before he bit down on the hanyou's neck. I was flabbergasted. I could not believe that my yokai had me bite that disgusting half breed. I knew what it met though; he was accepting Inuyasha as his own. I will not allow this. It was crazy I never accepted Inuyasha before for a reason. How dare him without my permission.
'There are things in this world going on that you don't understand. It's for the best' my yokai whispered to me. I was disgusted with my yokai to the point where I was reluctant to respond to him. I was so disgusted that I ignored the weird tone of voice that my yokai held.
'How,' which was all I said to his ridiculous assumption on me letting it go because of that vague explanation.
'I do not yet know. But Inuyasha does, he knows everything he just doesn't understand. If you listen to your instincts you would understand it all. Listen to me' my yokai was lecturing me and it brought me back to what Forte said about my father. And I decided maybe to listen…for now at least.
((Kagome POV))
I was still shocked over learning that Inuyasha was missing. We had run into several villages who had seen and that was helpful in finding him along with Kirara's scent trail hunting. It was successful we were so close to finding him. The last village we had visited had said that Inuyasha was there two days ago.
Sango Miroku and Shippo were all just as helpful in the search as Kirara and the villagers help. Sango detect fallen demons that Inuyasha had beaten. Miroku used his spiritual energy to see if he could locate Inuyasha. And Shippo helped me with the cooking and gathering fish and berries. Over all, this entire search was going well.
I let out a small smile as we all walked along the dirt trail. All determined to find our friend and fix whatever it was that made him so angry. As we walked we saw three scared looking villagers mostly likely from the village we just came from. We all stopped as Miroku grabbed one of the youngest man of the three.
"Excuse me, sir. What's the matter?" he asked. Miroku tried to keep a kind face tough he looked slightly annoyed at the man.
"D-d-d-demons, there are scary looking demons on the near cliff. They're so strong. I just hope the younger one can save us all." At the last words every ones attention was caught and they looked intensely at the man.
"What do you mean you hope the younger one can protect you all? Why would the younger demon do that?" sango asked stepping up first with the question we were all wondering.
"Well don't cha know? He's the great Inuyasha," when the man said that I finally understood why the villagers were so kind to them.
"This is the village we had saved from the rat demon so long ago." Miroku said contently. But I was focused on something else, something more important.
"What powerful demon is Inuyasha fighting?" I asked worried. What if he got hurt? Or die? These were petty things to worry about since it was Inuyasha but lately he hasn't been Inuyasha. The men looked at one another before they answered.
"Himself,"
"A demon with white hair that looked just like him,"
"His father I think," the all said together. We all looked at each other and we knew who it was. We all made a bee line to the so called cliff that Inuyasha was fighting Sesshomaru until we reached there. When it came to going up the cliff we had Kirara fly us all up there to save some time. After pushing through all the trees and bushes we finally emerged unto the scenery.
