Hey sorry if I made the story a little bit confusing for you guys. I'll clean it up this chapter. Also decided not to do the POV's anymore. They are starting to annoy me a bit. So I'm testing the story without any POV. Thanks for the reviews.
Chapter Five:Stubborn Hanyou
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. All credits of InuYasha go to Rumiko Takahashi. OOC characters are created by me though ^^ Yay! I get some credit!

InuYasha woke up the next morning feeling extra rejuvenated. He didn't have good sleep like this since...well...since never actually. Being a half demon and all didn't really give him the chance to get any real sleep since everyone was after his head. InuYasha lifted up slowly only to find something pulling him down again. He yawned before pulling away again to hear something growl at him. His ears twitched as his eyes snapped open to see Sesshomaru sleeping peacefully...and he was laying on him! Why was he laying on him?! Then he remembered the night before and the activities that went down. InuYasha blushed softly as he screamed. "What the fuck?!" he yelled pushing away roughly from the older Inu. InuYasha felt himself lose his balance and fell from the tree landing on the ground with a loud thump. 'Damn...why was he so high in the tree? Maybe it was because of his stupid brother. Sesshomaru landed next to him with a smrik before it turned back into his usual cold expression when the others came out.

"InuYasha, what happened? Did you fall out of the tree?" Shippo said with a sly smirk. "InuYasha why do you have to be so stupid?"

InuYasha glared at Shippo before whacking him on the head. Damn kitsune never knows how to shut his mouth. Of course the brat started crying and Kagome looked at InuYasha with a glare.

"InuYasha Sit!" She screamed watching as he plummeted into the ground. Kagome picked up Shippo into her arms and rubbed his head softly. "You can't just hit his head like that! Anymore hits like and he'll be as smart as you, which is pretty dumb. Why with the lack of education, you are technically an ignorant Inu. In other words, a dumb dog."

InuYasha looked at her with lowered ears before looking away. He knew she was right, but its not like there was anything he could say back. He didn't know what to come back with. He continued looking at the ground as he looked at Sesshomaru suddenly come forward to grab Kagome by the throat. InuYasha hopped up and went to separate the two. "Sesshomaru don't grip Kagome up!" He yelled looking at Kagome's now red face.

"No. The bitch deserves to die for speaking to an Inu prince like that. A lowly human like her needs to be taught her place in the world."

"No she doesn't! She's right. I am stupid. I always have been. She has a right to point out my flaws."

"Like hell she has the right to. You may not be that educated in everything, but you are not stupid." Sesshomaru growled out as he tightened his grip.

"Sesshomaru let her go now!" InuYasha yelled and thankfully Sesshomaru did. Kagome fell to the ground breathing heavily and InuYasha went to help her up, but she instead smacked him roughly.

"Idiot! What took you so long? Messing around with your dumbass, I would be dead by now. When I'm in danger, you come save me. Even if you have to offer up your own life, do you understand me? And what the hell is Sesshomaru doing here anyway?" Kagome looked at Sesshomaru moving a strand of her hair behind her.

Sesshomaru was heated. Why was InuYasha taking this kind of abuse of a lowly human? Sesshomaru went to choke Kagome up again when InuYasha placed his arm in his path. "Unlike the hanyou. I don't have to answer to you. Just know that I'll be around."

Sesshomaru watched Kagome huff before walking back into the hut with Shippo on her shoulder. Sango and Miroku walked up to the InuYasha and looked at him sadly.

"InuYasha...Maybe you should listen to Sesshomaru. You don't have to take this from Kagome. Ever since Naraku was defeated, she has turned for the worse. I don't like your half-brother any more than you do, but it seems that he is right in this situation. You should leave her and let her fall." Sango said placing her hands on her hips. She used to love Kagome like a little sister, but this chick was not the Kagome that she traveled with. Kagome was nice, sweet, and kind hearted. She was very loyal and sacrificed everything to help her friends. Now she was stuck up, mean, and manipulative. In other words she was a bully and that was not okay and Sango's book.

"Well if she is so bad Sango then why haven't you left. You and Miroku still stay by her side!" InuYasha yelled out not liking all of this bashing to be thrown Kagome's way. Now granted she has gotten a little bit more snappy, but she was still the same Kagome.

"Sango and I only stay here because we don't want to leave you with Kagome or Shippo for that matter." This now coming from Miroku speaking. "Shippo is beginning to pick up on her evil ways and soon it won't be fair to you at all. You'll be treated as a lowly pet. You don't deserve that. We are actually hoping that you do leave soon because we want to move back to Sango's demon slayer village and live there. We already started rebuilding it so it's not in shambles anymore and we already have a few adventurers living there."

Sesshomaru was getting tired of all of the nonsense and released a large amount of his demonic aura immediately silencing everyone. "InuYasha. As much as I hate to say it, but you share our father's blood. You are of royalty. You don't take this from mere peasants as herself."

InuYasha growled softly before swiping at Sesshomaru. The demon lord just moved to the left to dodge the pathetic attack before grabbing his wrist. "Kagome is not bad! She has always been with me since I woke up and I don't appreciate you talking bad about her behind her back! You all can just go to hell! LET GO OF ME NOW YOU BASTARD!" Sesshomaru released him as ordered and watched as he ran into the hut that Kagome and Shippo were in.

"He is broken." Sesshomaru said watching his retreating form.

"Very much so Sesshomaru-sama. We have tried to thrown hints to him in the past, but he has always been oblivious to them. We can only do so much. Sesshomaru-sama, will you help us in freeing InuYasha from her grasps. If I may speak so boldly, I seen how you looked at him as he retreated. You looked sad, well your eyes did. It was eyes that showed pity and sadness. Even if you don't want to admit it, I can tell that you care for your brother." Miroku said as he looked at Sesshomaru with a straight face.

"Hn."

"Just think about it. I think you are our...his last hope." Sango said before heading into the hut behind Miroku leaving the demon lord all alone.

'It's going to be a challenge for him to break away. He is already so damaged from his parents dying, people and demons hating him for who he is, the neglect from him, and the thought of betrayal from the dead miko. It was all enough to break a yokai into pieces. Now the miko has him on a very short leash. It just wasn't fair.' Sesshomaru thought as he contemplated the possibilities.

Sesshy came and floated in front of Sesshomaru. 'Well for one. You could always try to rekindle your relationship with InuYasha. I saw what you did with him last night and I must say that it was amazing. The way he reacted to you is such a good lead in the right direction, but there is still more work to be done. InuYasha is emotionally damaged. He feels if he doesn't have Kagome then he will have nothing. You have to show him otherwise. In other words, you have to be the one to make InuYasha feel that he is a part of your pack. It is going to be tough especially with the subjugation powers he has over you, but its possible. Its just going to take some time and hard work. You got this. I know you want him, so don't deny yourself anymore. Go get him.'

Sesshomaru listened to Sesshy before walking towards the hut. It was true that he would have to win InuYasha's heart. He never had to really work to get something that he wanted. It always came to him so easily. This was the one thing that's going to either make or break him. He needed InuYasha by his side as his mate. The only way to do that is to make InuYasha fall for him. At least be comfortable enough with him that he would leave the miko's side. With the new determination, he walked into the hut.

End of Chapter I know its really short, but I'm trying to focus on making the character's personality correct. I know I haven't posted in a while. Work has been exhausting and I really just wanted to sleep most of the time. But I stayed awake to put this chapter together for you guys. Don't want you all to wait too long. Please review. Thanks.
