Day 1-Coping with each other

************************************************************************************************************************************

As Inuyasha and Sesshomaru watched everyone pack they realized that Rin, Kagome, and the others were going to. Sighing heavily Inuyasha stood up and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Sesshomaru I am going to train. If you don't like it you can stick it up your …."

"Inuyasha watch your language!" Akari yelled to her son. Inuyasha looked up and rolled his eyes. Walking out of the room Inuyasha slung his sword over his shoulder. Akari couldn't help but catch the lustful look that Sesshomaru gave Inuyasha's backside. Giggling to herself she walked out of the room. Sesshomaru followed and then walked into his mother's room. Akuma looked up when her son walked in the room. Smiling she put the last outfit into her bag.

"You're really going aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because you and Inuyasha need to get to know each other. You have to get along. We'll send the occasional messenger with the occasional message. Sesshomaru you have to get to know Inuyasha better than what you think you do. That is why we are leaving. If we stayed than we would constantly be getting in the way of your fights. But when we leave either you don't fight or you kill each other and you know that would only anger us."

"Yeah your right. I just don't think that it will be possible to get along with that worthless, half bred moron."

"Sesshomaru! Do you say things like that to your brother?"

"Yes. Only because it's true."

"What makes you think that?"

"None of things would be happening if he had never been born. He is nothing but a stupid hanyou who can't do anything right. He can't even get the shikon no tama right. He shattered the stupid thing, and now five of my enemies have shards and are planning on raging war with me. How do you think I will be able to handle getting shards away from them while making sure that Inuyasha doesn't kill himself, that my kingdom doesn't fall, watching my own back, and wondering if you haven't been killed yet!"

"Sesshomaru. Calm down. Inuyasha has the Tetseiga. You have the Tenseiga and Tojin. What makes you think that you can loose?"

"Mother. It is still Inuyasha's fault. I just…" All of a sudden they heard something running away from the door. Akuma came out and saw no one. Sniffing the area around the door she frowned and came back in.

"Sesshomaru, Inuyasha heard everything. I think that you hurt him badly."

"So what." Sesshomaru said and then walked off. Akuma walked down stairs and joined the others. As everyone met up they said their goodbyes and then left, leaving Inuyasha and Sesshomaru by themselves. Sesshomaru walked into the house and started to look for Inuyasha.

" Worthless, half bred moron huh?" Inuyasha said to himself. ~Maybe I can get the Tetseiga to use its full power without having to use the wind scar. ~ He thought. "I'll show him who's worthless. He'll see. I'm not worthless."

"Could have fooled me." Inuyasha turned around and glared at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru just smirked and then walked in.

"Inuyasha do you remember right before the battle that knocked you out, the night before?"

"Don't bring that up Sesshomaru!"

"I have to. I knew you were in danger because of that mark on your shoulder and this mark on mine." he said pulling the sleeve to his kimono down, to reveal a bite mark. Inuyasha took his shirt off and looked at both his shoulders. His eyes widening when they found what they were looking for. Then he looked up at Sesshomaru and smirked.

"So this means that I am your mate huh? Guess you can't kill me or get rid of me. Oh how did you get your arm back so fast?"

"That. I had a mage cast a spell to accelerate the healing. It grew back two days ago. Inuyasha I didn't mean what I said. I am just worried about you. Let me finish my sentence from mother's room. I just worry about you. That is what I was going to say. I have worried about you. For a long time now. I know that it is silly but I can't help it."

"You're just trying to bring down my defenses. Leave me alone."

"Fine. Inuyasha I will leave you alone if that is what you truly want."

"Yes it is what I truly want. Now go away." Sesshomaru turned and walked out of the room. Inuyasha bowed his head and kept practicing.

~Inuyasha why won't you let me love you? ~

~Sesshomaru why don't you love me? Why are you trying to hurt me? I left my heart open just for you. Why did you take me and then just leave me behind. You used me and I won't open myself to anyone anymore. Sorry. ~
