Well, this is a short chapter, very short to be honest. However I'm going to be doing a bit of jumping next chapter and I needed a filler. Which was one of the reasons for my writers block as I hate filler. Not to mention one of my other stories "Vengeance" is turning into quite the epic. For those reading it, be warned there are many more twist and turns coming before it ends.
Special Thanks to all of you who were so understanding of it taking so long to get this chapter done. I do wish it was longer, but.... It does what I need it to do.
One more note and then you can read the story.... my beta reader is on vacation this week so if anyone wants to volunteer... just let me know in your review.
Now on with the story
Defenseless
Chapter 6
They had been on the road for several days. Yukio had finally conceded that there was only one village that would have a witch powerful enough to cast the spell. The others knew something he did not and it bothered him. The monk had been giving Mikomi strange looks since they had left the village, he attributed that to the discovery she was a witch. But it was something the young woman, Sango had said when she thought he couldn't hear that upset him the most. "Mikomi, you truly need to tell him. I know that your bond is special, holding this back from him could harm that." What could his mate be hiding from him. So he walked on his son riding comfortably on his shoulders. Soon he would leave the boy and scout ahead giving this body a rest, though the sword at his side did help some.
"Daddy?" Se whispered.
"Yes, my son."
"Where is my brother?" Se questioned, his curiosity finally getting the better of him.
"That is a difficult question to answer. Se, do you remember your dreams." He waited for the boys nod. "Your dreams are memories. You are a grown man now, my son. You are under a spell. Your brother is allowing me to use his body to be near you. Can you understand?"
"Not really. Daddy what promise am I suppose to keep?"
"I do not know." He paused to allow the group to catch up. He watched as the young priestess was changed by the spell. "You must stay with Lady Mikomi, but watch me and you will see your brother."
"Yes, Daddy." Se nodded, he shifted from one foot to the other as his father backed away. At a distance his father started to shift and there stood a boy with ears on his head. "Are you my brother?" He yelled.
Inu Yasha didn't understand what was happening. He hated this sharing with his father thing, but he knew it was important. "Yea, I'm your brother." he yelled back.
"Why haven't I ever met you before?"
"Ummmm ask father, ok? Hey, if you remember any of this, when it's over truce OK?" Inu Yasha couldn't believe he was asking his brother for peace. But even in the short time he'd been around the child Sesshomaru he actually liked the kid.
"Uh huh!!! We're brothers and brothers stick together."
"Ummm yea sure."
