Inuro: I finally come in, yeah, and I don't own Inuyasha, so Read and please review

Chapter Six

Inuyasha lie sprawled on the floor, looking up at the demon who claimed to be his older brother. "But my older half-brother is Sesshomaru! How can you be my big brother?"

The demon stood before him and only chuckled. "I guess father didn't care to tell you about me. Probably wanted you to find out on your own."

Inuyasha finally stood up, his legs feeling like lead after lying on the floor for so long. "What do you mean 'I guess father didn't tell you'? His head was starting to spin out of all the confusion. For the time being, Kagome was pushed back into the far regions of his mind.

"I'll tell you as much as I can. You need to go save the human- child." He looked up at Inuyasha who seemed to be dumbstruck. He continued before the half-demon could open his mouth. "I have the same mother as Sesshomaru, but not as you. It is plain to see that I am full demon. Sesshomaru was born according to the human aging system, three years after me. The reason why I don't rein over the Western Lands is because father decided it would be best for Sesshomaru to do so. I too have a castle, but far off from here. My kingdom is one of the few places where humans and demons reside together."

Inuyasha could only stare at his supposed older brother. "What about me? Did you know about me?"

The demon looked at Inuyasha with a solemn look in his eyes. "Of course little brother. I watched over you until that horrific day when both father and your mother died. I was in a deadly battle against demons who didn't agree with the methods of father domain. I was badly injured from that fight, and as soon as I heard the news of their deaths I did everything in my power to find you."

Inuyasha asked the only question that came to mind, since the rest of them had been answered. "What's your name?"

"Inuro," he simply stated.

"Inuyasha, are you alright!?" He turned around to see who the voice belonged to. It was the monk, Miroku's.

"I'm fine. I just encountered a puppet of Naraku's but my older brother helped me.

Kilala landed softly on the ground next to the two demons. Sango, Shippo, and Miroku stared at the demon whom Inuyasha had called "his older brother".

Inuro was the first one to speak after Inuyasha's statement. "There is no time for questions. They will be answered later. First we must find your friend Kagome."

The three of them understood and once again took off into the air in search of their endangered friend.

Inuyasha and Inuro sped up to the front, leading the search party deep into the forest.

The sun was almost up, but Kagome still hadn't fallen asleep. "I probably hurt his feelings. But then again, that guy's emotionless." She shifted positions in her bed thinking about the way she had treated Sesshomaru. "Well if I'm awake, I might as well get up from bed now.

As soon as she scooted off the mattress, one of those ugly servants appeared in front of her. She almost screamed, but she covered her mouth with a hand. "Close one."

The little demon hastily gave her a kimono and exited the room without so much as a second glance.

"I dunno how he can keep those filthy things." The kimono that she held was neatly folded in her dainty hands. "Wow. I bet this one is really pretty." She held it up in front of her eyes. "Beautiful," she murmured.

The kimono was sky blue, with pretty flowers on it that were navy blue. Their petals danced around the dress like one of those dreams one might have where you are surrounded by meadows and meadows of flowers. But girls usually had those dreams anyway.

As she unfolded it more to get a better view, a blue ribbon and waist tie the same color as the flowers fell to the floor. She outstretched her hand to pick up the two items from the ground. "I'm am going to look so pretty in this." She smiled and hopped up from the bed. "How come I didn't notice this?"

As her eyes scanned the room, she found a dresser with many little doodads and trinkets scattered neatly atop it. It had a huge mirror for her to look into to spot check herself here and there before going out. "Well no wasting time! I just hope Sesshomaru can forgive me."

"Oh Sesshomaru, what did you get for Rin?" The little girl was hopping up and down uncontrollably obviously waiting for something.

"You'll see," was all the demon lord could say at the moment. If that damn girl doesn't hurry up, I will kill her and get the Tetsusaiga another way. Truth was, he couldn't stand the way Rin was acting right now. But of course, he wasn't going to tell her that.

By this time the sun had shone over the little garden they were standing in. It washed over them, making a beautiful gloomy look to the place.
