"You're finished, Sesshomeru. I'm going to make sure that you never bother Kagome or I again." Inuyasha said to his brother, hands tightly gripping the Tetsuiga. "You might be surprised to hear this, brother, but I am actually happy to die this way. I learned something very important today, although it is too late for me to use the information." Sesshomeru said, his serious tone surprising Inuyasha. "What the hell do you mean? You better not be trying to scheme your way out of this!" Inuyasha yelled. "It's true, I'm rather disappointed that I'll be killed by a half-breed. I learned from you and your woman, though, that 'love' is more powerful than any other type of strength. The only reason the two of you are still alive and I am about to lose is because of the 'love' the two of you share. I only wish that I would have realized this sooner." Sesshomeru said quietly, a tinge of regret evident in his voice. Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing! "That bastard had some nerve to say that I was going soft!" Inuyasha thought to himself. "Well, I'm glad that you learned something worthwhile in your life, Sesshomeru. That won't save you, though. Your life won't see the light of another day." Inuyasha said, readying to make the final blow. Suddenly, the door to the room flew open.

"Kagome! I finally found you! You hide pretty good!" Rin squealed, running to Kagome's side. As she ran, though, Rin noticed Sesshomeru lying on the floor with Inuyasha standing over him. "Lord Sesshomeru! You're hurt! What's going on?" Rin asked, worried about her protector. Sesshomeru was unable to answer, as it pained him to look at the young girl when he knew what was about to happen. "Great. I don't want to kill him in front of a kid." Inuyasha thought to himself. "Kagome, could you take this girl out of the room, please?" Inuyasha asked his wife. "Yeah, of course. Come on, Rin." Kagome said, taking the girl's hand. "NO! I won't let you hurt Lord Sesshomeru!" Rin screamed, pulling her hand free. She ran over to Sesshomeru, and she laid her small body over his. "I love him. You can't hurt him." She cried. Upon hearing this, Sesshomeru felt strange emotions running through him. "What are these feelings? They feel like human emotions! I...I thought that I was unable to feel such things." He thought to himself.

"Sesshomeru has discovered what love is? I never thought I would see this! And why does it have to be with such a small girl? Has he become a lecherer like Miroku?" Inuyasha thought to himself. "Please, Inuyasha. Let me live. I promise to stay away from you and your woman for the rest of your lives. I just... want to have the chance to experience this emotion you call 'love'. Have mercy on me, brother." Sesshomeru begged, completely forgetting about his pride and arrogance. Inuyasha was at a loss for words. This is not the type of thing you hear from someone like Sesshomeru! It pained Inuyasha to let his brother live, but it suddenly seemed like the right thing to do. "Come on, Kagome. Let's go." Inuyasha said, grabbing his wife's hand. She smiled at him, realizing how hard this must be for him. "Okay, Inuyasha. We still have a honeymoon to go on!" Kagome said with a grin. With that, Inuyasha picked her up and jumped out the window.

Okay, so Inuyasha didn't finish off his brother. Come on, though, Sesshomeru's in love! He will be too whipped to attack Inuyasha in the future anyways. Honeymoon next chapter! Please review! Tonyf
