Summary Inuyasha ponders Sesshoumaru's words after the battle with Shishinki nuyasha stared at his brother until he disappeared from view. What was the point? He thought that Sesshoumaru would appreciate his efforts to fight along side him. Tessaiga had saved Sesshoumaru. His brother should thank him. Instead all he received was scorn.
He had not asked to be born hanyou. Never asked for Tessaiga. He had nothing to do with anything Father had ever done or not done for Sesshoumaru. None of it was his fault. Yet Sesshoumaru blamed him for it. Told him that they would continue to fight until they died.
Why did Sesshoumaru feel that he had to kill him to get back at Father? What would it prove? It would not get him Tessaiga. The sword would never allow it Father was in the grave beyond any retribution that Sesshoumaru could inflict upon him.
All he wanted was a brother. Was that too much to ask? Apparently, Sesshoumaru would rather kill him than acknowledge him as his brother. All over a sword. He suddenly felt very alone. His brother was dead to him.
Kagome wanted to say something to make him feel better, but Sango stopped her. "I understand how he feels. I feel the same way every time Kohaku walks away from me."
Inuyasha looked up when Sango came over. He asked "What is the point of trying any more to be his brother when he just wants to do is kill me?
Sango replied "You keep trying because he is your brother."
