"Father always loved me best."

"Farewell, little brother." Sesshomaru's sarcasm was not lost on Inuyasha as he melted into the shadows from whence he appeared.

"It's not true." The statement resounding in his head like a mantra, after all he had done and been through there was no way his father would take his approval away from him. Sesshomaru must have done something to his sword a kind of spell to keep it from reacting to his will. "That's it." Inuyasha was sure of it and nothing that Sesshomaru said could prove otherwise, he left the clearing in a huff.
