Brothers in Arms

Not once taking my sight from my target as I ready my Youkai for the right time. Strategizing and anticipating my target's move as he also circle around me, eyes unmoving. Fate was a trickster, toying and stringing our lives around. It has brought my brother and me to this moment and nothing within the hour could change the tension between us. Like every brothers in the universe, had never started out bitter and cold, there was warmth and love between us. But the growing achievement of my person and of my status has brought jealousy and bitterness in him and not to mention his heritage. I wish life was different for him, him not being what he is…a half-breed but as I said fate has away of justifying our lives which cannot be change…

750 years ago…

Young inuyasha stood on a cliff not far from the palace over looking the midnight blue sea; he was a mere child then happy as any youkai child could be. He lived prosperous and has a wonderful family, many cousins, aunts and uncles to keep him company and of them all he loves even more than his mother…his brother sesshomaru.

"You've wondered off again." Sesshomaru who seemed too appeared out of nowhere startled inuyasha almost causing him to fall off the cliff but sesshomaru caught him in time. Sesshomaru was in a matching midnight blue kimono with a sapphire crown on his head. "Brother, you scared me again! How come you're so sneaky and with my walking I alert everyone in the palace." Inuyasha pouted sitting next to sesshomaru on a bench. "What was the number one rule I taught you?" Inuyasha sucked his teeth, he knew what his brother was talking about and he was right but he couldn't help it, sometimes he wondered if he was born this way. "Never allow your enemies to have the advantage." Sesshomaru nod his head in approval, "Correct, I do not take chances even within or around the palace, we are royals our lives are at a higher risk then others, can you understand this?"

"Yeah I do but it's not fair! I can't go anywhere without guards or maids up my as_" Inuyasha clasps his mouth shut with both his claws, knowing he got carried away with his language.

Sesshomaru sternly stared disapprovingly at his young brother. Inuyasha look up at his brother with a cheesy smile and innocent eyes; "oops"

Sesshomaru sighed, "Haven't you been learning the correct way to speak inuyasha? Please tell me we haven't wasted all that currency to the teacher?"

Inuyasha folded his arms and snorted, "No, but too much is expected of me sesshomaru, everything is demanded more from me and less from you why? Is it the way I look? Is it because my mom is human? Why…sesshy?" Inuyasha asked his eyes full with tears ready to fall.

Father should be the one to explain this not me, sesshomaru thought. It was there father that romped with a human thus resulting an abomination to the youkai nation, although not forbidden it was highly frowned upon, inuyasha still far too young to understand the hardships with human blood running through his veins, he feared for him and vowed to protect him from harassment of others.

Sesshomaru allowed his brother to rest his head upon his lap. He ran his claws through his brother's thick hair, "Do not worry you-self of such things brother, you are young and carefree, enjoy your freedom now…hmmm?" Inuyasha stop his crying wiping it with his sleeve nodding his head meekly, "Good come we must meet father you know what happens whenever father fetches you himself?"

Inuyasha frowned, "Yeah don't remind me." Sesshomaru sensed something in his brother knowing he'd ask something he couldn't answer yet again…

"Sesshomaru, when we grow up, will father divide the kingdom among us? Will there be two kings?"

The best answer he could possible tells him, "Father has not mentioned it to me, and maybe you should ask him?"

"Yes, I will brother thanks." Inuyasha gave his brother a big hug before running in towards the palace. Sesshomaru knew the truth will evidentially be revealed to him sooner or later. But how it deeply affects him will change their relationship possibly forever.

(Please note I'm changing it a little bit from the original series after all it is fanfiction.)

150 year later…

A great war between the inu-clan and Doragon clan had broken out; they became too powerful much to the kings' dismay and declared war to over throne them. As the second heir to the throne inuyasha felt it was time for him to prove himself worthy of the royal family, he was of age in youkai standards and was giving one his father's powerful sword tessaiga. A servant helps the young prince into his custom silver armor similar to the armor of his father, his hair tied up as to not distract him in battle. "All done your highness, your father is waiting in the throne room." Inuyasha nod his head once before leaving to the throne room. It's almost time inuyasha thought walking through the palace corridor, over the years his older brother sesshomaru had numerous times proven himself as the crown heir to throne. Defeating ruthless and powerful foes, having a natural talent in the art of war was able to prevent many war or civil outbreaks.

In the throne room, Inuyasha overheard his father and sesshomaru whispering amongst each other, as soon as he came in plain few they ceased, his curiosity getting the best of him, wondering if their discussion was about him. "Ah my son comes let me take a good look at you." Inutashio beckoned inuyasha to come closer. Inuyasha obeyed taking a good look at his brother who was in a darker armor suit, his hair tied into a pony tail similar to the others. Inutashio showed his approval of the look, "Yes this is fitting for you inuyasha, I couldn't be more proud of you son" Inutashio expression became more serious, "What were about to do is not a game, this is real and you can get serious injured or worst, for your first time you will accompany the army and general is that understood, you will not be in the front lines with us." Inuyasha fumed, he underwent extreme training for this moment only to be told to stay in the sideline.

"What! No way, I bust my ass for this father and you're telling me to stay behind?"

"Don't speak to father in that tone." Sesshomaru warned.

"Feh, I have every right to I'm not a pup anymore I've handled my own battles before and you expect me to just watch, no fucking way!"

"Inuyasha cease this at once, this is not optional, we cannot afford to lose you my son." Inutashio pleaded.

"But you can afford to lose your first born, what sense does that make? Is it because of my so called "bad" blood I hear around the palace, yeah I'm not an idiot you know. It doesn't take a fucking rocket scientist to know when you're looked at like a piece of shit. Even if I'm a prince father! And you?" Inuyasha points to sesshomaru "Have been too damn busy to even hang with your bro, too caught up in your high ass. It's-it's like I'm losing face like I'm bleeding into nothing, no one has any faith in me, like I'll just be in the way…just because of my human blood" Inuyasha took the sword his father given him many years before out of the sheath and gently placed it on the ground. Years of training and proving his worth as the second heir only to be push to the sideline. His only family much less his brother didn't believe he could handle himself. He's become self aware of his true reason for being born, a simple forbidden rule his father broke and he was the results. No one ever look at him as they did his older brother. Inuyasha felt it was time to make his own destiny, his mother had told him about earth, it was made of mainly humans, he'd fit right in possibly but he had to give it a try.

Inutashio became nervous when his son put the sword he'd had given him when he came of age down on the ground, silent as the air itself inuyasha didn't speak for sometime. "Brother we are merely protecting you." Sesshomaru reasoned but inuyasha already made up his mind.

"To hell with you all, I had to endure this stupid baby sitting for far too long, I'm not interested in being a prince or your son or brother anymore; I'll lead my future with or without you. So you can go fuck yourselves."

"Now wait a minute inuyasha, you are going too far and being unreasonable, we can solve this without any unnecessary confrontation." Sesshomaru tried reasoning with his younger brother. He understood what he was going through but running away from the problem wasn't the answer, besides inuyasha doesn't realize how fortunate he is compared to the lesser class Hanyous living in the Youkai world.

"No not this time, I've tried and it isn't working, everyone believes I'm weak and incapable of doing anything above just existing, you may not think so but your actions do. I have to go…" Inuyasha said sadly looking in his brother's eyes and his father's.

Inutashio is devastated that his youngest plans to leave but he will not stop him, inuyasha is right and of age and for many years of his life shielded him from the outside world because of his mistakes. He was the one that broke his own forbidden laws that were created by his ancestors and mated a human woman and fathered a bastard child. All of this is because of him and his child is suffering, maybe it was better for him to make his own journey and truly prove his worth in the universe.

Sesshomaru sensed his father and knew he wasn't going to stop him and neither was he but he'd make sure to mark a spell on him so he'll be traceable in any world he goes to. He'd watch from above making sure his brother is safe, not realizing how deep his brother's hatred really goes.

"Please brother stay." Sesshomaru could only say hoping his brother would change his mind.

"No, I'm fucking leaving and that's that, maybe I'll comeback maybe I won't, it doesn't really matter, I'm not wanted anywhere." He turned and walked slowly exiting the throne room, the last thing he heard from his brother, "I want you here."

(This part will be brief I don't plan on boring you to death…carry on)

Many years has passed since Inuyasha's disappearance, sesshomaru had always checked his ki to make sure it was safe, finding out a few years after he left that he now settles on earth much to his dismay had become a loner, he was homeless wondering the earth like the dead. Now in the modern Era it would be a good few centuries before sesshomaru see his brother and when he does finally come home, it wasn't the brother he grew up with.

Sesshomaru had an important meeting to go to, being the heir took his toll on him at times, another clan threaten to cause a nuclear war in one of the cities, demanding more power having stolen the dangerous mineral from earth. He was on his way to meeting room when he saw a youkai with long silver hair, his features were hardened and his eye cold, he was built with medium muscles and wore a dark brown clothing he didn't recognize, but he knew it was his brother his scent said it all, but he wondered if this was a trick, he hadn't seen his brother in over three centuries and now he's back.

"Is that all you can do is stare? Feh, I guess I'm not really missed here, to be honest I wasn't planning on coming ba_" Inuyasha didn't finish his sentence when he was suffocated his brother in a big hug. Inuyasha pushed him off, "Hey! I'm not here to get all touch feely ya know." Sesshomaru apologized, "It has been so long brother."

"Feh, whatever I know you wanted to visit me but I'd just hide my Ki, I just didn't want to be bothered and technically I still don't, so stay the fuck outta my way I'm not through with you. The only reason I came back is to piss everyone off, I'm not here to take my place as a prince nor as a stupid noble, fuck all that." Sesshomaru was shock that his brother would say such things, realizing now his brother had change over the years hurt more than he'd admit. He lost his best friend and closest family and didn't know how to resolve it. But he won't give up, there was still hope his brother would like go of the past and they'd be a family again…a real family.

Present…

Vegeta and Inutashio stood to the side as the brother's fought. Immense Youkai poured from both brothers causing their father to match their own for his protection. Inuyasha disappeared behind his brother to slash him but sesshomaru superiors speed had the advantage and he side step the attack causing Inuyasha to stumble, leaving an opening for sesshomaru's whip. His Claws oozed with the poison as it formed into a whip and slashed inuyasha's side. Inuyaha's vision was blurry of the vast amount of pain he was receiving. If it wasn't for his determination, inuyasha would've lost. Ignoring his wound, inuyasha claws grew red as he prepared a spell. Sesshomaru smirked, "Assuming from what you're doing that you're desperate to finish me hmmm?" He taunted. Inuyasha whispered his chant, " " (Energy stealer) before the red glow transformed into a whip. Sesshomaru was familiar with the spell; it drains the opponent's energy feeding the spell caster their strength, to him it was a weak and pathetic move even by his brother's standards, he was becoming soft and it was unacceptable. Sesshomaru made sure to keep eye contact with the whip, so he'd know where inuyasha plans to strike. Inuyasha smirk thinking he had the upper hand, but inevitably forgetting his brother's speed, he'd have to catch him in the whip in order to drain his strength.

Smiling in return allowing his brother to think he has the advantage, "A whip for a whip like and eye for an eye brother?" Sesshomaru taunted in riddle.

"Feh, yeah whatever, just don't go crying to your mate like the little bitch you are." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru eyes narrowed angrily at the mention of his mate and the fact he called him a female in heat. Sesshomaru growled low and deadly, "Take heeds with what you say or you'll find yourself as the bitch." He warned him. Deciding to end this sense and pointless battle, sesshomaru decided to transform, wind began to pick up, sesshomaru stood motionless as his eyes began to bleed red.

Inutashio instantly knew what was about to happen, sesshomaru was changing into his true form. Vegeta was on high alerted because he never seen anything like this much less seeing the Dai-youkai in action.

"What in the blazes is going on with your brat?" Vegeta said.

"Do not worry yourself friend, he's merely showing his true powers."

"Hmn" vegeta said studying the shape shifting.

Sesshomaru's nose grew into a snout and his body began to grow in size, until he fully transformed into a ferocious beast, with acid for his saliva, his pupils a dark purple and his eyes completely red. He let out a roar that shook the dimension.

"Keh, so you're what a few stories bigger than me, big deal I'd just have to give you a bigger ass whooping and this baby will help me." Inuyasha said confident in his ability thinking his brother's speed is sluggish now that he'd grown in size.

The Large Canine ignoring his brother complete had only one goal, to teach his brother some damn manners and a little respect, with speed that match light years, sesshomaru came behind inuyasha and knock him a few dozen feet away from the group. Taken by surprise with the expression as "What the fuck?" being playful thrown, lightly putting it and couldn't help but cry out in pain from the impact. How could his brother still have all of his strength? He was a dumb beast at least that's what inuyasha thinks. He's supposed to be slow in his attacks but instead it seems his power has increase. Maybe fighting his brother head on wasn't so smart but now he has no choice but to face him especially now that they have an audience.

Vegeta had become bored, standing here with the king for sometime and watching the battle, which he already knew who would win; wasting his time here was pointless. He should've been with his mate and kids about now but he was curious about the youkai's ability and now he seen it from the full blooded one, there's no point in staying any longer but he was an honorable man especially when it came to battles, he'd wait until the opponent is beaten to a pulp before leaving, but his patient is wearing thin.

Inuyasha struggled to get up from the ground, his body was crying out in agony from the searing pain his brother inflicted.

"Damn that fucking dog, looks I'll have no choice if but to use tessaiga, if I want to save my ass." Inuyasha would wait until the final moment before striking his brother down.

Sesshomaru's nostril flared before charging at his brother, inuyasha also charge with just his claws. Inutashio really became worried.

"Damn it if sesshomaru don't cease this foolishness he'll kill him." Inutashio said as he began transforming himself determine to save his family but vegeta held his shoulders down.

"Unhand me Saiyan I refuse to watch my children kill each other." Inutashio said with a fit of rage. Vegeta was taken back slightly having never seen the king livid before but he knew the brothers has to sort of this problem in battle, it was the only way for a saiyan and from what inutashio told him same goes for youkai.

"I understand your concern but breaking them up will only delay the problem. You must let them fight" Vegeta smirk. Inutashio wondered what was so amusing about this; he'd almost ask when vegeta quickly answered for him, "Don't you have that dead sword anyway? You can break any of them back." Inutashio stop his transformation and begun to use his brain. "Yes of course, I still would rather them not destroy each other but that is our code."

"Now we're talking, take pride in your children inutashio, from what I've seen your older brat is okay in my book." Inutashio smile, "Coming from you vegeta I shall take that as complement."

"Damn straight it is, cherish it now because I don't give people complements."

"I will vegeta, I will."

The two brothers were close to each other, "One more blow and he'll be down." Sesshomaru thought. If he can use his paws to swipe inuyasha again it'd be over. From the first hit already did enough damage.

"Alright all I need is a few more seconds before sticking his ass." Inuyasha said as he slowly use one of his claws to ready the sword. Inuyasha used a burst of speed to come right below his brother's chest, just as sesshomaru was to hit, he use the tessaiga to pierce his brother's chest. Sesshomaru was surprise wondering where he got the extra strength from and now his chest has a gaping wound, searing him. Sesshomaru released a bone chillin howl before crashing to the ground. Radiance left his body as he no longer has the energy to sustain his form. Now in his human form, sesshomaru lay unconscious with the wound still fresh on his chess.

Inuyasha stood a few feet shock at his actually victory but dread took him at what he done, he could've killed his brother and that wasn't what he wanted, dropping the sword on the ground, inuyasha fled the GR dimension with shame and wondering how he'd become so strong when his brother had tremendous fearing power.

"Sesshomaru!" Inutashio cried out, in a blinding light was at his son's side, he checked to see if there was a pulse. It was faint but it indicated sesshomaru was still alive. He lifted him not receiving any response and with vegeta exited out of the dimension in a blinding light. Inutashio was beyond livid with his son but he have to find out exactly what happened because it didn't add up…

Gohan's POV

My father and I we're still in the garden playing with the babies, including my son who joined not moments ago. The rest of Z gang had return and was enjoying the outer gardens with us. My little angel began her story of the places she visited.

"Daddy I saw many youkai's all different shape and sizes, some were like super Kawaii and others really ugly and mean. Their world is almost like ours, it's so cool daddy. We went shopping and grandma helped me buy a few Kimonos, black and navy blue. I'll show them to you later." Pan exclaim.

"That's cool sweetie, I'm more curious of the geography more than anything, what's it look like?"

"It's more green daddy, a lot of tropical forest with weird looking plants, but we didn't go far shopping was the goal." Pan giggled

"Yup I bought some materials to make nice things with flowers." Rin said.

It was glad that my little one has a sister, rin is a very sweet and loving little girl and I am proud to be her adoptive parent. Yes pan and Rin will grow up nicely. Akemi was screeching again for no apparent reason for the third time, and I had to apologize to the sensitive eared ones.

"Sorry everyone when he gets excited that's how he show his happiness."

"And we'll know when he's unhappy." Krillen smirk.

"Please don't mention it again." Piccolo grumbled, he had the most sensitive ears then us saiyans so I know he's suffering.

"Hey piccolo if the babes become too noisy you can always find a quiet place in the palace."

"Yeah I think I'll take up on that offer."

I watch my father how he devotes his attention to the little ones, reminding me of when I was growing up and now it's my time to spoil my little runts. Tickling Akemi's tiny feet making him giggle not knowing the searing pain that came through my chest. It was unbearable to the point of not remembering blacking out or my father screaming for me to wake up or my kids crying sensing something was wrong…it came so fast. What happened?

Finally I came to holding my chest having a dizzy spell.

"Wha-what happen dad?" I whispered, my voice nearly gone. My father held me in his arms, tears was falling from his eyes, I've never seen him this way before and I knew the many times he died.

"Sh-sh-sh gohan you're okay, I don't know, you're in so much pain." My father was babbling now, trying to pick up the pieces that hadn't been yet revealed.

"I sense vegeta, the king and your mate gohan, they should be here any moment now." Something wasn't right by piccolo's voice but once I got my bearing together, I knew why he sounded that way. My mate's Ki was nearly down to zero barely alive and it almost caused me to relapsed but the thought of my son I had to stay strong, I couldn't let myself go this way…I need to know how he got in this state, It just doesn't add up.

Vegeta was the first one to come in through the garden, then inutashio with my mate in his arms, I didn't have enough strength to greet them, and so I lay still in my father's arms gathering my strength.

"I need to get my son to the healer now; they'll be able to give him some herbs so he'd heal naturally but then after than it is his own will to survive. I'm sorry gohan that you're experiencing this but with your bond to my son you'll feel his pain as well, I think gohan should come to."

Yeah it makes sense, I was mated to sesshomaru and whatever I felt he felt and vise versa. My daughter cried as she saw me on the ground and how everything transpired from a good day into something more complicated. "Is my daddies gong to be okay?" She asked. Chi-chi held her close, "Yes baby they'll be fine." My mother looked in my eyes without saying a word, she was being strong for my daughter and I'd have to properly thank her later for that.

My father lifted me up while friends and family tended to the children, "Don't worry gohan you'll be good as new." My father reassured me. We weren't far from the healing quarters.

Inutashio burst through the doors startling the staff there, "I need medical attention now for your princes…Now!" He demanded. The staff members scurried along to get things ready as myself and my mate was put in opposite beds of each other. By the time an hour passed by and I was drugged up sleeping away the day, but one thing was in I had my mate even if at a little distance still at my side. He was breathing normally now in a small coma with the healer's assurance he should up in about by tomorrow morning.

Inuyasha he's your brother why can't you just love him?

Well that's it for this chapter, Inuyasha has a few skeletons in his closet he needs to resolve, and I mean he put his older brother in mortal danger and poor gohan. Anyway this chapter basically revolves around the brother's issues so next chapter will continue with getting everything into the light back into our favorite myslivermoon main story. Stay tune and please review.
