aybDisclaimer: Ok well, I am alive and I know its been while since I ahev posted one of these and well I have been so focused about writing a new chaoter I fdidnt think up a funy disclaimer…. So yeah I own nothing!

Remember :

Koga showed up, everyone argued, Sesshomaru killed him and left Inuyasha there with a trail of footprints leading away from the pool of blood. Oh yeah, Koga tried to claim Kagome as his mate and she seemed to know what he was talking about but denied it. Ok now for this fic…

Chapter 15

Sesshomaru jumped out the window and landed silently on the ground. He examined the side of the house, trying to locate which room Kagome was in. Upon seeing her shadow cross a lit room she leapt the required height to reach the window sill.

            "Kagome? What was that heathen creature talking about? I know you know. And you know you want me to know-" Sesshomaru tried to smooth talk it out of her.

            "Stop it Sesshomaru! Just Stop! It's not going to work this time!" Kagome yelled through tears.

            "What do you mean my love?"

            "You know what I mean! Would you cut the crap? You know I'm not your mate! You seduced me when I was down! You wanted me so Inuyasha couldn't! Just leave me alone! You have no right to be here!"

            "If you see things this way I suggest you change them." He replied menacingly.

            "What are you talking about?" She took a step back and had a look of horror and confusion on her face.

            Sesshomaru simple walked out of the room and towards the stairs. He looked down them into the living room where Andrew lay sleeping on a couch. She followed his movements and gaze. "Sesshomaru! You wouldn't!"

            "Oh, but I would," He replied, slowly unsheathing his sword.

            "Would what Sesshomaru? Harm my only male offspring?" Inuyasha yelled from behind. Kagome let out a short scream, she didn't know here was there but Sesshomaru did. He planned it like this. Sesshomaru didn't have any real intention on hurting the child down there, it by sheer luck and smell he knew someone was down there. IF the whelp happened to be of his half-brother, then all the better. He never actually said what he would do to the child. They assumed.

            "This is none of your business whelp. It is between be and my woman; matters such as this are above your half breed head. "Sesshomaru said, bored with his little temper tantrums.

            "You're What?!" Kagome yelled. She was about ready to do anything to rid herself of Sesshomaru.

            "Don't talk to her that way!" Inuyasha interjected.

            "Might I remind you that our son is a half breed too!" Kagome cried.

            "Oh yes, him. The little slut-" he points at Kagome and then looks at Inuyasha, "Could keep herself out my pants. Got herself pregnant. Again."

            "No Inuyasha! It wasn't like that!" Kagome pleaded.

            "Don't worry Kagome. I know this bastard is a liar." Inuyasha replied, pulling out his sword too.

            "I don't see what you care about her anymore. You –left- her." Sesshomaru said icily. One could almost feel it in the air, the hatred pouring from Inuyasha, the cold heartedness from Sesshomaru, and also the despair from Kagome. So much blood had been shed tonight. Hojo and Koga died because of Sesshomaru.

            "Why do you care? You never play fair. And neither do I!" Inuyasha yelled setting his legs in battle stance, facing Sesshomaru with a look to kill in his eyes. There was a tint of red in his amber eyes, threatening to come out more even though he had the Tetsusaiga; he was so overpowered by emotion.  Swinging the Tetsusaiga with full force he headed towards Sesshomaru.

            He dodged the first blow but wasn't prepared for the double 360 Inuyasha did. Inuyasha was able to place a strike and sliced pretty deep into Sesshomaru's side. Deep red blood poured out. Kagome stared with disbelief, Inuyasha must have been preparing for this battle for the past seven years.  His skill level had practically doubled if he was able to land a blow like that to Sesshomaru.

            "Runt, you've, improved," Sesshomaru commented in grunts and he grabbed his side to see the damage. "However, you will never reach my level of full blood." Sesshomaru swung the Tensaiga up and was about to use it but decided else. He withdrew a katana and rushed Inuyasha who was ready and waiting. The swords clashed and in a flurry of motions, control going back and forth, Inuyasha finally had Sesshomaru pinned against a wall. It would appear as if Inuyasha had won but in a battle to the death between brothers, the winner was the last one living and standing.

            Sesshomaru, being bigger and older, used his weight to lean in and throw Inuyasha off him. Inuyasha slid a few feet back and then took and few steps back before attacking again, this time using Kaze no Kizu. Last time Kagome had seen him use this attack it was super powerful, he had been able to wield it but spending over five years working on it made it unstoppable. One of the first times using this attack a sheathed Tensusaiga had to save Sesshomaru. Kagome wondered what would happen this time.  Sesshomaru tried to dodge but was unable to avoid it completely and still got about half the blow, knocking him into the, making a dent.

            He wasn't about to let something like this stop him. He was the rightful heir to the Western Lands and should have gotten the Tetsusaiga! No way was this whelp going to beat Sesshomaru. He studied under their father and some of the best fighters at the time. Although, he couldn't help but give his brother a little credit. Getting this far on his own… Sesshomaru knew he couldn't have gotten this far. It was all he could do to hope he didn't use Bakuryuuha. Sesshomaru had to study his opponent and not rush in using his best attacks for they could be easily used against him and do him in. And since it was dyed and strengthened with the Hyaki Kouman … it was hard to say but the battle seemed to be in Inuyasha's favor. That is, if Sesshomaru doesn't use the Tensusaiga.  His healing sword.

            Their father was very wise beyond his years. Knowing they would battle it out to the death one day, he bestowed upon each of them a sword. Their father seemed to know that Sesshomaru would develop a hate for mortals and so in some sick and twisted humor gave him a sword that could not kill, but save. And gave Inuyasha the sword that could kill 100 souls in one swing; knowing somehow that he would use it countless times to save the wench of a woman.  And through each near death experience Inuyasha survived! While this stupid sword of his ((Sesshomaru's)) had to cut in every time and save him! Sesshomaru never knew the real limit of his power. And never had reason to before. Inuyasha had always been far below his par of a real threat; that was before Kaze no Kizu and Bakuryuuha, being fully mastered. This time he was going to test it. Sesshomaru decided he was going to test all his skill and healing and not use the Tensusaiga. He wanted to win this battle on his own.

            And with that he threw the sword to the side, landing down the stairs. He was going to win this and he was going to do it without his foolish father's help. He drew Toukijin. Kagome gasped. This was the sword that itself wanted to kill Inuyasha, having a long history with Inuyasha. Just being drawn from its sheath, unleashing the evil aura started to make cuts and stuff against Inuyasha. He was waiting for this. Before, Sesshomaru had hardly ever touched Inuyasha, the aura and will of Toukijin alone was enough to harm Inuyasha. He didn't know how he could handle it if a blow actually made contact.

            Kagome didn't know either.  Sure, she had been worried about Inuyasha before but deep down she knew he would come through.  There were very few times when the outlook was bleak. She was thinking about all the times when during battle she'd sit on the sidelines, watching him. Worrying… Wishing she could do something and sometimes did. But she knew, even if she could do something she had best stay out. This was between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.  They wouldn't forgive her if she intervened.

            "DIE INUYASHA!" Sesshomaru cried, launching himself in a full out sprint towards his younger half brother with complete and total intentions to kill him. He let Toukijin have a little more power and will than normal. Anything but his father's sword would win him this battle. Kagome shrieked and ran down the stairs to stay out of the battle and be ready in case anything happen to Andrew or he woke up.

            Inuyasha moved before Kagome could blink her eyes. Everything else had improved and so did his speed. Nearly god-like but still behind the full demon blood would be. Right now, and for a time, it seemed like it would be a speed battle. Until someone landed a blow. They swung and recovered over and over using attacks from a distance, not making any contact yet. Sesshomaru's wound seemed to have healed and was fighting like he always did. With hope to kill. And Inuyasha wasn't far from it. But unlike Sesshomaru, he wanted to live afterwards. Sesshomaru had no intention of letting his brother win because if he was going to die, so would Inuyasha. He was leaving alive or no one.

            Toukijin wasn't satisfied. He wanted to taste blood. He wanted Inuyasha's blood.

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing

Broken your servent I kneel

It Seems what's left of ym human side

Is slowly changing in me

Looking at my own reflection

When suddenly it changes

Violently it changes

Oh no, there is no turning back

You've woken up the demon …..in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness

Get up, come on get down with the sickness

Get up, come on get down with the sickness

Open  up your hate and let it flow into me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness

 

            It was starting to become hard for Sesshomaru to fully wield Toukijin.  The evil was sprouting and becoming stronger, feeding off his hate for Inuyasha. The want to kill; to see his younger sibling dead in a pool of blood. It was starting to become his full being, run through his veins even. Sesshomaru let it out, his eyes turned red and the demonic markings on his body become numerous and bigger. His arm was almost fully purple and red. How soon until he took his true demon dog form… he didn't know only that when he did he wouldn't be able to wield Toukijin.

            After this change came over Sesshomaru, Inuyasha realized that he would have to step it up a notch. He may have the skills and a reasonable amount of speed but if Sesshomaru did this… who knew? He was thinking about his next move and how to attack without coming in contact with Toukijin when suddenly out of no where Sesshomaru rushes forward. Swinging Toukijin madly in multiple 180 blows he was trying like a drunken mad man to land any blow just one on Inuyasha.

             And Toukijin just wanted blood, each swing was closer than the last with Sesshomaru's speed increasing with each step and each swing making Toukijin hungrier. Blood. It was close. Too close. Soon to be shed. It was taking longer than Sesshomaru and Toukijin wanted. Letting the hate flow from him, Sesshomaru released it and felt it melt with the evil of Toukijin. Double force. Alone, the power was great but together and under these circumstances… unstoppable.

            "INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed when she saw red being to pour from his left upper arm. It must have been a deep cut weighed down with hate that might not heal so fast because it gushed and splurted out freely and profusely. He wanted to out his right hand over to staunch it and keep it from looking so bad but he needed all the force he could use to wield Tetsusaiga.  Getting cut so deep and so soon in the arm was defiantly not planned.

            "Dokkasou!" Sesshomaru announced as he began to spay his poins around Inuyasha. It began to seep into his wound, making it fester and become infected with demonic poison. His attack was rather short having early reaching the effect he wanted. His head was becoming cluttered and he was letting his emotions show. Sesshomaru knew he would have to return his face back to the emotionless, dispassionate state it was usually in. It would be harder to read that way. Unlike his hanyou brother who wore his feelings on his sleeve as so to speak.

            "What's wrong whelp? Do you need Mommie to kiss your boo-boo?" Seshomaru commented without a pant unlike his brother, beginning to crumple to the floor.

You mother get up

Come on get down with the sickness

You ****** get up

Come on get down with the sickness

Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising

Don't trym to deny what you feel

It seems that all that was good has died

And is decaying in me

It seems you're having some trouble

In dealing with these changes

Living with these changes

Oh no the world is a scary place

Sesshomaru decided to sheath Toukijin for now. A process that took the better half of the next ten minutes. Pulling out his whip he let the end hit Inuyasha's cheek before jumping into the air, jumping off the wall and onto the banister. This place was becoming too small.

            "Come on, let's move outside. You die pinned to the tree your beloved Kikyo bound you too for fifty years."

Now that you've woken up the demon

In me

            Kagome rushed to Inuyasha to see if she could do something for his wound the moment that Sesshomaru let the door close behind him. Thank goodness Andrew hadn't woken yet. Inuyasha didn't want her help. He, like Sesshomaru, was full of old foolish demon pride and had to do everything his own way by himself. It had been that way for years. Until Kagome came.

             But if this was going to be his last battle he didn't want to say that even with her help he lost. Or that he lived because of her. What if she got caught in the crossfire? What if Kagome herself was hurt? He had to make sure she could be a safe distance away. But, is he did lose… maybe she could keep Sesshomaru from mutilating his body. So that when his children saw who their father was they might have a good picture of him dying proud to protect their mother and not one of miscellaneous body parts strewn across the shrine, swimming in a pool of blood.

            "I – don't- need -  you're – help – woman" Inuyasha panted in rage. He was going to win this on his own.

            "Well at least let me get you a bandage for that gash ok?" Kagome smiled and walked into the bathroom. When she came back he was gone. "Where'd he go?"

            "I don't need your help. Kagome. I have to fight on my own. Save you on my own." He was barely able to talk and use her real name transformed. His eyes were red. Marks were beginning to grow on his cheeks and other exposed skin. A lightening bolt ran down his chest.

            "But Inuyasha-"

            "No Kagome. It's just one of those things. I have to do it on my own. You have helped me so much. Help me once more by staying out. I don't want you caught in the crossfire. I have transformed."

            "Even with the Tetsusaiga!" She gasped.

             It's just one of those days

When you don't wanna wake up

Everything sucks

Everything sucks

You don't really know why

But you wana justify

Rippin someone's head off

No human contact

And if you interact

Your life is on contract

Your best bet is to just stay away

Its just one of those days

            And he walked out the door. Ready to accept whatever fate awaited him. A scream pierced the night and brought Kagome fleeting to the door. She couldn't stay inside. If she couldn't be involved she at least had to see what happened. Kagome decided on staying right in front of the door. Easy access to an escape if needed. Kagome looked around and saw blood but couldn't tell who it was coming from. Then she saw.

            A gash was streaking along one of the monstrous dog's hind legs. Sesshomaru transformed and was waiting with his back to Inuyasha when he burst through the door and attacked him. Tearing a huge gash that was currently being lapped up. Had he been smaller Kagome would have rushed to the dog's aide but this was no normal dog. If he wanted to stay alive Sesshomaru would have to resume his human form. And he did.

            "Dear brother, I'm surprised. Attacking me like this. You already tore off my arm. What more do you want?" Sesshomaru asked calmly.

            "I want you dead!" Inuyasha stated the obvious and settled in for a long hard battle.

            "Oh, but Kagome would be terribly disappointed. She told me that after you left, she didn't care. That you were too much trouble. Too rash, never thought anything out. And were going to get yourself killed someday and leave her alone." Sesshomaru sighed as if it was pity.

            "Enough!"

Its all about the he says she says bul*****

I think you'd better quit

Letting s*** slip

Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip

Its all about the he says she says bul*****

I think you'd better quit

Talkin that s***

It's just one of those days

Feeling like a freight train

First one to complain

Leaves with the blood stain

Damn right

I'm a maniac

            He attacked using a full blown Kaze no Kizu, making Sesshomaru unsheathe Toukijin to block. They came up and clashed with little yellow sparks of lightening like things flowing from each sword with the opposing power so close. They backed off and Inuyasha took a deep breath before yelling "Iron Reber Soul Stealers!" and charging his opponent, wielding the Tetsusaiga with only his right hand, using the other for another attack. Sesshomaru didn't know which do dodge, choosing the former he leapt to the left ((Inuyasha's right)) and was surprised by a singled handed semi-air borne version of Kaze no Kizu hitting his mid-drift and head area rather than chest and legs. Having been air borne he left streaks of broken ground. He missed.

            Why should he be surprised? A big attack like that, seen over and over… Sesshomaru would have to let his guard down to be hit… he would have to pull more than a rabbit out of his hat if he wanted to win. Maybe some of his new moves that he made up would work…

            "Kin no Katsu Ken*!" Inuyasha yelled and the whole area become surrounded with a blinding light that allowed him to continue forward and slash through Sesshomaru's right arm, almost severing it in half, before the light wore off. Even Kagome was surprised… she had never seen that move before. To have all that –light- come from a blade and him… was unthinkable. Sesshomaru seemed to think so.

            "Hmph, so the dog learned a new trick. We'll have to see how well…" Sesshomaru said cracking his whip.

            "Kin no Katsu Ken!" Inuyasha yelled and once again a light even brighter than the first shone from the sword and didn't blind but followed it, leading the way. "Saki Sho no Hikaru!" And engulfing the whole shrine in a light Inuyasha was able to land a few more swings using an aerial 900 degree swing.  Sesshomaru was slumped against the well house when it all cleared away.

            You'd better watch your back

Cause I'm ******* up your program

And then you're stuck ypu

You just locked up

Next in line to get ****** up

You best bet is to just stay away

Its all about the he says she says bul*****

I think you'd better quit

Letting s*** slip

Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip

Its all about the he says she says bul*****

I think you'd better quit

Talkin that s*** punk

So come and get it

            "I see the whelp has improved but can all your tricks work against Toukijin?" Sesshomaru stood up and picked up the sword. His whip was gone. Toukijin was out. Inuyasha was out of breath, and Sesshomaru came running fast, in thr blink of an eye h e was two feet away from Inuyasha, drawing Toukijin back, ready to strike. At this point in time all Inuyasha could do was block. It started to smell like rain.

            "Hurry up whelp. Attack me soon so it doesn't look like you just stood there. Let's finish this before it starts raining." Sesshomaru remarked snidely, while charging again and jumping in the air, hoping to bring the katana down on Inuyasha's head.

            "Bakuryuuha!" Inuyasha yelled to announce his reverse attack, throwing Sesshomaru's powerful blow right back at him. Not missing it's mark.

            "Just because I'm younger and a hanyou, doesn't mean I'm weaker, Sesshomaru! Iron Reber Soul Stealers!" Inuyasha panted then attacked.

So come and get it

I feel like ****

My suggestion

Is to keep your distant

Cause right now I'm dangerous

We've all felt like ****

And been treated like ****

All those

That wanna step up

You know I pack a chainsaw

I skin you're a** raw

And if my day keeps going this way

I just might break something tonight

You know I pack a chainsaw

I skin you're a** raw

And if my day keeps going this way

I just might break something tonight

            "Don't underestimate me Inuyasha and I will not underestimate you!" Sesshomaru yelled. He leapt onto the roof on the well house and from there pounced on Inuyasha full force with Toukijin giving Toukijin much more than deserved or needed power. Making Toukijin almost take over. So bloodthirsty; Toukijin would stop at no ends to avenge Inuyasha. Spill his blood, all of it.

            Kagome watched in horror from the sidelines. Seeing the man she loved in a battle to the death with his older brother! She knew of the dislike and family feud but where they really going to go so far as to kill the other? And over her? Had she not acknowledged Sesshomaru…? But now, sure they both had their strengths and weaknesses.

            As she watched Kagome saw less rash movements from Inuyasha. She could tell he was thinking them through finally but, in doing this it took up time. Valuable time. Time that he may not be able to spare if he got hurt much more. The cut on his arm was only half healed. Add that to a dozen more scratches, any normal, sensible man would have pulled out and admitted defeat. Not Inuyasha. He had more than ten men's strength and speed but Sesshomaru had about 20.

            Although, Kagome thought, Inuyasha does have more heart. Sesshomaru doesn't. He could care less if he survived, so long as Inuyasha died too. Inuyasha just wants to live. Even if that means killing Sesshomaru.

            "AHHHHHH!" Inuyasha had been cut again, deep. This time in his leg. He could do nothing to staunch the blood this time. Only hope Sesshomaru didn't bring out the poison. But… that was probably intended. Along with the whip. Inuyasha looked back and jumped onto the rooftop of the shrine. Hoping to get a break even for just a second.

            "Brother. You think I will give you rest now? DOKKASOU!" Sesshomaru transformed into his demon form again and started to breathe out his deadly poisonous breath. Filling all the surrounding air. Soon, the whole yard was filled with a layer about four feet high. Kagome shrieked and ran inside to close all the windows. Unfortunately, the moment she opened the door, it began to pour into the house, heading towards the living room and the stairs.

            "Wench. You think but going and hiding behind a wooden house you can escape? My dokkasou is stronger than that!" Sesshomaru shouted from the yard as soon as he changed back into his human form. It was a wonder the police hadn't shown up yet.  Inuyasha saw the scene play out below him, although right now he was above all the poison it still made his leg sting more. Green stuff started to gather on the edges of it. He didn't dare check to see how deep it was.

            Inuyasha ripped a piece off his inner haori and wrapped it around his leg. Within seconds blood started to soak through. He had to end this soon. Before he bled to death. Before the poison got to Kagome and Andrew. Before Sesshomaru won.
