Disclaimer- I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters but I wish I did.

Summery- Inuyasha lives with his brother after his parents died only to get abused by him but then tragedy hits. Can Sesshoumaru show kindness for once?

PAIN'S ONLY NORMAL

Inuyasha walked peacefully around his brother's palace looking for nothing but tranquility. Every step was almost as painful as the beatings his brother gave him just for his own personal pleasure.

It was only painful steps because even thought he wasn't being beaten now, he would later. That and the fact his half-brother Sesshoumaru, made his life a living hell. He slowly had to go through each day receiving only pain from the one person in his family who still lived. Pain, was only normal.

Inuyasha looked outside from an opened window and leaned against its ledge by his for-arms. There were ponds that surrounded the area. If only his life was much less complicated. After a few minutes of looking around, Inuyasha's dog-like demon ears picked up a deathly sound...

...Sesshoumaru's footsteps.

Sesshoumaru came around the corner just as Inuyasha was about to leave.

Sesshoumaru saw the look of fear as the half demon passed by. "Where are you going?" Sesshoumaru asked in his dark voice.

Inuyasha stopped and said, "No where."

Sesshoumaru grinned at the sound of fear in his half-brother's voice. "You're obviously going somewhere or you wouldn't be in one of the main hallways."

Inuyasha kept on walking hoping for the conversation to end. But he was wrong.

SMACK!!!

Quick as lightning Sesshoumaru had knocked Inuyasha off his feet and on his back.

Inuyasha grimaced as he felt a huge headache forming from the hit he had taken on his head.

Sesshoumaru turned started to walk away with his back towards Inuyasha but turned his head towards him, stopped and said, "Don't EVER walk away from me again or else..." but he stopped the threat and continued his way.

Inuyasha slowly got up and watched his brother walk away. His day of peace was over.
