Author's Note: I am sorry that it has been a while since I have updated.
All last week was CAT's and CST, and of course on Friday I finally took my
APUSHistory test. (Yeah there is no more stressing about history.) Well
anyways, thank you for reviewing; I need the help to continue the story. I
was wondering if I should bring Sesshomaru into the story; please write
your answer if you review. Enjoy.

Chapter 4: The Source of Morpheous Strength
Morpheous POV My tree, my beautiful tree. How I love you, for all that I give you; you give mw even more in return. I can feel them pulsing through you, all of their fears. That little group of friends coming after dear Inu-Yasha will be an easy meal my pet. It will also allow me to learn about him. You sense that he intrigues me, he does, how can it be that a hanyou has survived for so long. His strength is amazing, not even he knows the extent of it. Dear tree he is not meant to become a meal. Oh no, he is meant to become my servant. But I can not do that without having control, the only way I can do that is to break that fire in his eyes with his memories. Farewell tree, you shall be feed soon.
Morpheous opened his red eyes and emerged from his tree, his source of power. Landing softly on the ground he decided to play with Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha must have broken out of his confines by now.

Inu-Yasha struggled from tree to tree using them as crutches. It was amazing that he hardly fought with Morpheous, yet his energy was spent. He decided to pause to get his breath, filling his inflamed lungs with the clean air. Inu-Yasha started to sough violently; his organs seemed to come out of him. Once the violent attack subsided he looked up and saw a figure, his blurred eyes would not permit him to see who it was.
"Little brother, what are you doing here? Are I not the one who always seeks you out," said Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru, what are you talking about. I didn't even know you were here."
"Here, of course I am here, this is 'my' father's palace. Though I do not see you fit to be here. Farewell, little brother."
Sesshomaru cracked his fingers to extend his claws further and to make the poison extra potent. Smirking at the brutal death that was to come from his blows, he lunged forward. Inu-Yasha dodged as quickly as his body would allow, which wasn't fast enough. Sesshomaru pinned his arm against the tree, having the poison burn into his skin. Inu-Yasha tried to suppress his screams of pain and anguish, but he was about to fail when he heard someone yell, "That is enough Sesshomaru. I wish to see no more."
Sesshomaru acted as if he did not hear the man, "Inu-Yasha, I see that a tree is the only thing that can suppress you. A tree shall become your grave."
Wait, Sesshomaru had said that to him while their father tried to heal his mother years ago, but this was so real, it could not be just a memory. But it was, it was a memory he wished to forget. Sesshomaru had known all along of what would happen to Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha's heart bled, 'Why did he have to be right?' Sesshomaru grip tighten as Inu-Yasha went further into the dream.
His mind began to shut down, but he could hear someone commanding Sesshomaru to stop, but his brother wasn't listening, he kept sending poison through Inu-Yasha's arm, planning to take it off. Inu-Yasha eyes blurred, then he saw a demon, Morpheous, come up behind Sesshomaru and slash him in half. Sesshomaru's body did not fall to the ground, it evaporated into the air. Inu-Yasha's senses began to come back in full force, his surroundings had changed back into the forest that he was trying to escape from. He could clearly see Morpheous standing over him.
'I have to escape; I don't want to remember anymore.' With new purpose to fight, Inu-Yasha lunged at Morpheous. He was weaker than he thought; Morpheous easily dodged the attacks and tripped him in the process. Inu- Yahsa wasn't about to give up. He jumped back onto his feet and began to attack again, but his legs were pulled out from under him. He landed hard on the ground of roots, quickly clearing his mind he started to attack again but was held down.
Morpheous grabbed his hands and commanded the roots to tie around them; he did the same to Inu-Yasha's legs until he became immobile.
"Let me go you bastard."
"I think not dear Inu-Yahsa. You will become my property, but first you spirit must be broken. And it has started to; the dreams are becoming more real."
"You jerk; I got no idea what you're talking about."
"Silly little child, I know you do. Now be quiet and rest. We must hurry along for when you yield yourself to me. Sleep dear Inu-Yasha," Morpheous said as he passed his fingers over Inu-Yasha's eyes. Though Inu-Yasha struggled, the spell was to powerful, he gave into its command. Sleep took him, but it was a dreamless sleep, a restful sleep. Morpheous took his precious bundle into his arms and carried him back to his lair.
The tree did not like Inu-Yasha; it had made the dreams more realistic. But Morpheous controlled it, he had no worries. He would allow the tree to use its strength against Inu-Yasha's friends.
