Intro
Ok, this is my first "published" fic, coupled with the fact I don't find myself to be a particularly good writer to begin with, so, bare with me. I tried to keep it nice. On to legal matters, no characters that appear in the Inuyasha Manga, TV, or whatever belong to me, so, don't take them. Original characters in whom shall be made mention throughout the fic are technically mine, so, don't steal those either. Thank you.
Chapter 1: The Forgotten Sibling
***Part 1: Reunion***
"You don't understand......you underestimate him, as did I...." The low, velvety voice of Sesshomaru echoed lightly through the castle. "We must crush him before he decides that we are too much trouble...."
"Silence....." A deeper, rougher voice spoke, with demanding authority. "Have you forgotten who...and more importantly, WHAT you are? You're a full-blooded demon, Sesshomaru....why do you fear a half breed? A younger brother, at that? You've truly grown weak since last we spoke....." More annoyed than before, the voice trailed off.
Growling lightly, Sesshomaru spoke up "Why do you need to insult me...."
"Because if I didn't, you wouldn't get anything done. You need a push in the right direction...." Laughter finished the sentence, as a tall figure arose from his throne; He stood about seven and a half feet tall, with the trademark long, silver hair, reaching his lower back, but tied into a ponytail. He was well built, but kept in concealment with long red, black, and purple robes. His eyes were a dark purple, which was odd, for Sesshomaru and Inuyasha both had yellow. Rakishly handsome, he had an obvious, devious charm.
"True or not, you needn't say it, brother......" Sesshomaru sounded obviously insulted, and scorned.
"Brother? BROTHER!? Do you only call me such when you need something.....? I should kill you here and now....." The demon took a sudden twist with his words, changing from teaching to assaulting. "But.....I suppose that wouldn't accomplish anything, now would it?" Ge grinned, showing his sharp teeth.
"Are you going to help me or not?" Sesshomaru was beginning to sound bothered by these games.
"Worry not, young one......your big brother is here to help...." A deep laughter echoed through the castle, and faded out.
***Part 2: Revenge***
"HANDS OFF, MIROKU!" A females words carried on the wind throughout the forest.
*SMACK!* That too, echoed through the forest, as the young monk walked solemnly away from the lake, with a big, red handmark across his face.
"THE NERVE!" Sango huffed aloud, as Kagome giggled lightly, leaning against a large rock in the middle of the lake. "Only he would try something like THAT!.....Reed tube for breathing...just to...." She trailed off, as Kagome continued to laugh lightly.
"Well well....." The dog eared half-demon spoke. "THAT didn't go well, now did it?"
"Be quiet, Inuyasha...I have no interest in talking more on this subject..." Miroku walked off and got dressed. "But on to more important things....shouldn't we be searching for the jewel shards instead of lazing about?"
Inuyasha laughed for a moment and turned to Miroku. "That's odd coming from you...seeing how as soon as you saw that water, I BELIEVE the first words out of your mouth were "Hey, why don't we rest here so in that...."
*CONK!*
Inuyasha was interrupted by Miroku's staff hitting him in the head, followed by Inuyasha chasing Miroku around for a while.
"He's right you guys...." Shippo, the little fox, finally spoke up. "We should be searching for the jewel fragments, right?"
Inuyasha stopped his pursuit, and spoke up." Fine, fine. Your right. HEY KAGOME!" He yelled out across the lake. "GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE! WE'RE LEAVING!"
"Well damn...." Sango spoke in a sarcastic tone. "Wait for me too....." She sighed lightly, as she and Kagome made their way to the opposite bank, and got dressed. They then rounded the lake, and met up with the rest of the group.
"Well, where are they now, Kagome?" Inuyasha spoke indirectly to the young girl.
"Well...." She stopped for a moment. "There seems to be......wow....at least a dozen....over there!" She pointed to the Northwest, in which a small village should be at. "Shall we?" She asked, with a bright smile on her face.
---twenty-five minutes later---
The group had been walking on a dirt path for about ten minutes, before their relatively quite journey was interrupted...
"HELP ME! PLEASE!" A young man, probably twenty-three or so, with long blonde hair, ran up to the group, stopping for a moment to fall to his knees. "DEMON! A demon...it....it...." He rambled on incoherently for a minute or two before Inuyasha grabbed him by the collar.
"Calm down, damnit. What demon?" He spoke with the tone you would expect; harsh curiosity heavy in his voice.
"T-t-there's a demon...in the village....killing everyone! Please help us! The one armed demon shall destroy us all!" He pulled himself from Inuyasha's grip and continued to run down the path, screaming aloud.
"One-armed demon......Sesshomaru...." The young dog-demon spoke with pure loathing in his voice, and then broke away to the village.
"Wait!" Kagome tried to stop him, but he was already gone.
"Come on! We can't let him go alone!" Miroku ran ahead, with the rest following.
---two minutes later---
"Please, have mer--" The peasant was cut off, as Sesshomaru's energy whip cut him in two.
"Yes....I can smell you now, Inuyasha.....come to me....." Sesshomaru spoke with a grin, and waited at the town square, pacing back and forth.
"You die this time, Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha slid to a stop, standing roughly twnety-five feet from his brother. "Nothing can save you....." He smirked, cracking his knuckles.
Sesshomaru chuckled darkly. "That's what you think......" He gestured a hand to a path, in which Inuyasha could not see beyond, due to an inn.
"Well well....." The dark, rough voice spoke. "It's been a long time.....hasn't it...." The large, robed figure stepped from the corner. "Brother?"
"What?!" Kagome exclaimed, having just showed up with the rest, hearing only the large, robed figures words.
Inuyasha growled intensely. "What are you talking about? Sesshomaru is my brother....."
"So forgotten, am I?" He grinned deeply. "Perhaps I should...introduce myself. I am your eldest sibling....Barbarossa.....and, I'm to be the instrument of your destruction. It won't be painful....well, not TOO painful..."
"Don't get ahead of yourself, old man.....you're not my brother...and you're no match for me!" Inuyasha lunged at Barbarossa, and unsheathed the Tetsusaiga, and swung at him.
"You fool.....SWORD!" One of the golden bands on his fingers glowed for a moment, and a large sword appeared in his hand; the bald was roughly twelve feer long, and it was completely aflame, shining brighter than the sun, and emanated a palpable force, which happened to knock Inyasha back some ten or so feet away from Barbarossa. He managed to land on his feet.
"This, my brother, is the Laevateinn. Father gave you the Tetsusaiga, the sword or Neutrality, as it were, and Sesshomaru the Tensaiga, the...sword of good. On the other hand, since I showed such skill above that of either of you..."
The other band on his finger shone bright, as another blade appeared in his free hand; it was a classic broadsword, but the blade was eight feet long, and was pure white. "He granted me two sword...one, the Laevateinn; the black blade of disaster, and the other....the Gram, the great Sword of Grief. Both of these...." He looked over the Tetsusaiga for a moment. "Are completely superior to you....and your little toy....."
Inuyasha gritted his teeth for a moment. "And why exactly are you helping Sesshomaru? What are you to gain?"
"HAH! He didn't tell me you'd be so scared as to try and negotiate your way out....afraid of death, are you?" Barbarossa was merely egging Inuyasha on...he wanted to show the child just how useless his old sword was. "Come now.....have at you." He grinned, and held his arms out, still clasping the two large swords.
"THOSE WILL BE YOUR FINAL WORDS!!!!" Inyasha shouted out.
***Part 3: Battle of Brothers***
The Tetsusaiga shone bright as it leapt along with Inuyasha at the elder brother, Barbarossa. At the last possible second, Inuyasha swung the fang blade at Barbarossa, cracking him right in he side of the face with it....
But it did nothing. Inuyasha dropped to his feet, still holding the blade up, right to his brothers face, frozen in awe...or fear.
"I told you, brother...it's a useless, little toy...for you see...." The Gram vanished from his hand, as he grasped the blade of the Tetsusaiga, lifting it, and Inuyasha. "Listen boy....we demons get more powerful as we age. I'm more powerful than you can possibly fathom....you can't hurt me....not now, not EVER!"
Barbarossa began to swing the Tetsusaiga round, until finally, Inuyasha gave away, flinging from the handle at incredible speed, flying back first into the corner of a building, flying right through it. Barbarossa laughed a moment, and drove the fang blade hilt deep into the ground. "Come now, brother....don't tell me you've already accepted your death!" The Gram reappeared in his hand after Barbarossa murmured something, and began to make his way to the rubble.
Sitting on a fountains edge, Sesshomaru watched the battle with a grim smirk, knowing that his little brothers death may finally be at hand.
On the other hand, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippo had nothing but fear and worry in their eyes, for they know that any moment now, Inuyasha may die....and if he couldn't beat this monster, they didn't stand much of a chance.
"We....we can't win...." Kagome spoke breathlessly. "He.....he has over a dozen....over a dozen jewel shards in him." She counted silently to herself as Barbarossa slowly made his way to where Inuyasha lied. "Eighteen.....he has eighteen shards in him. How are we supposed to beat that?" It was a question no-one wanted to answer....it was a question that she didn't even want answered.
"I tire of you.....black blade of disaster.....destroy this fool...." A light voice resonated from the blade "Yyyeeesss....mmmaaasssttteeerrr" The flaming blade leapt from Barbarossa's hand, and dashed into the ruins, seeking it's prey.
***Part 4: The Relentless Killers***
"You haven't beaten me yet...old ma--" Inuyasha was cut off by the Black Blade of Disaster flying at him, and nearly stabbing right through, but Inuyasha managed to leap out of the way. "How can....how can this sword just attack on it's own!?"
"Aaaccceeepppttt yyyooouuurrr fffaaattteee." The blade "spoke" again, before striking at the half-demon repeatedly; Inuyasha dodging barely each and every time.
"Well done, brother.....I know I could count on you...."
"Don't count your chickens until you've eaten them, Sesshomaru....this is the reason you came to me, isn't it? You always underestimated him...and even in my presence, you do it." Barbarossa quickly retorted.
"Do you believe that your weapon cannot defeat the boy? Are you...uncertain?" Sesshomaru prodded at his elder.
"I have faith in the Laevateinn.....but, there is always a chance for SOMETHING to go wrong...." Barbarossa looked down for a moment, and then snapped his fingers.
Seconds after a light sound, Inuyasha looked at the blade as it's flaming exterior expanded in a brilliant flash of light, engulfing the entire town block in flames. Luckily for the dog-demon, he leapt up into the air at the last second, and landed right behind Sesshomaru.
"Well....looks like your little toys aren't that great either....." Inuyasha smirked, trying to get Barbarossa steamed.
"A means to an end, little one. You have to sleep, do you not? I know it doesn't....." He grins for a moment before cracking his neck. "But can you take them both?" He lets go of the Gram, as it floated in the air a moment, and pointed at Inuyasha, before speaking in a gravely, zombie-like voice "Nnnooo mmmeeerrrcccyyy fffooorrr ttthhheee dddaaammmnnneeeddd" As it then dashed at Inuyasha, while the Laevateinn flew at him from the side.
Inuyasha jumped backward at the last second, but not quite fast enough, for both the blades managed to just graze his legs, but, the results were unlike that of what such a little touch should have done; the area that was touched split open into terrible wounds; the Laevateinn's cut caught fire after splitting, while the Gram's immediately began to fester and decay.
The young demon stopped to his knees after "dodging" the attack, and held his hands over his wounds, trying to stop the bleeding. He huffed heavily, and spoke lightly to himself "H-how can they....do so much damage...with such a little touch....I...I've gotta get out of here...." And with that, Inuyasha ran.
"I...INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled out, and they pursued him, for Barbarossa nor Sesshomaru showed no intention of following.
"Why are you letting him get away, Barbarossa?" Sesshomaru spoke with an obviously annoyed tone.
"It's called strategy, young fool. I'm letting him think we are giving up....or at least merely giving him a taste of our power. Those wounds will never fully heal....heh...not until I die. After awhile....he will be so riddled with scars and cuts, that he won't even be able to stand up. At that time....you can finish him, like you wanted....." Barbarossa began to walk away, as his two swords vanished.
"Oh...and I nearly forgot....." He walked up to the Tetsusaiga, still embedded in the ground, and pulled it out. "I'm keeping this....." He turns again, and walks off.
"WAIT! Why can you touch it, where I cannot? It shocked me, literally, to grasp the blade...."
"Well, here's the thing......"
End of Chapter 1
I hope you guys had a bit of fun. I tried my best to write a quality fic. Thanks a lot, ladies and gentlemen. By the way, a large thanks to RyvenSilverFlame for giving me some edit help, and for basically inspiring me to write a fic or three. Thanks a lot man. Go check out his digimon fics. Good stuff.
