AN: Thank you all for your reviews. There was one I didn't really appreciate, but maybe I needed their criticism. Anywho, thank you all! The more reviews I receive the more I will continue writing. Oh and I'm not holding Inu-Yasha captive anymore!!! So all those who love him can have him back!

'She's beautiful,' Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands, thought as he gazed upon the young miko, Kagome, who slept in his bed. He had watched her all night, he watched her toss and turn and even a couple of times moan his name, but he never went into the same bed as her. Everything was still too new for him; she was something sacred and was not to be touched until the right time came. The sun peeked its weary head over the Mountains and Sesshou rose to wake Rin from her slumber and leave Kagome to rest a while longer. He walked down an open hall and smelt the air the breeze brought in. His nose curled at the scent...death was in the air. He inhaled again...it was a demon...a...a... dog demon. 'Inu-Yasha?' He thought. The very thought of his brother finally dead brought pleasurable chills down his spine, he must go see if it was true. He left Rin a quick not and slide it under her door and then shot across the trees until he found him, his brother, dead.

He bent down over the already rotting flesh and saw the arrow he had used. "Suicide, what an imbecile." He muttered aloud. He felt a heartless glee from the sight, all the blood had dried, but it was still there, covering much of the earth below the fallen body. "Stupid brother. You wasted your life...and your love, Kagome is mine now."

"Like hell she is brother!!" Sesshou had caught the scent of the intruder too late and the person, demon, thingy, came down on him.

"I will get her back Sesshou!!"

"Inu...Inu-Yasha?! But you're dead! How...I...wait..." He studied the intruder and it defiantly smelled of Inu-Yasha, but didn't look it. He had long black hair, brown eyes, and "human" ears. It became clear to Sesshou that only the demon side of his brother died and the human remain, but only half alive.

"You will not take her from me Sesshou!"

"What will you do about it? Huh? You are a human now, you're nothing compared to me."

"You will not WIN!"

"Don't you understand? You've already lost!"

"If you loved her so much, how is it you did not claim her until she came back to see me...ME, Sesshou!"

"She was My enemy...my demon instincts would not allow me near her without thinking I hated her, I soon realized that hate cannot cover up love, and I didn't admit it until she had left our world, when she came back though...there was no stopping me when you told her off."

"WHY?" The human Inu-Yasha was screaming at Sesshou uncontrollably. Sesshou got tired of him bickering and grabbed Inu by his throat.

"Listen to me, brother! You have lost! Do not try and fight me, you are human now! I can easily kill you!

"Then do it! DO IT!"

"QUIET!" Sesshou threw Inu in a tree, knocking the wind out of him. "Even if you are human, you are still my brother. Leave you idiot, just go and forget Kagome. Leave now before I remember how much I hate you."

Inu-Yasha silently got up, looked at his brother, and then took off running into his forest. A hissing noise came from behind Sesshou and he turned to see Inu-Yasha's dead demon body gone from sight. A new scent was in the air..."Kikyo," he whispered. "All of this is just too confusing," he said talking to himself. "What did I just do...I let my sworn enemy go. He's no threat to me anymore, he's only human." Yet he still felt weary of letting him brother go. He was about to jump into the trees and return to him castle when he stepped on something. "The Tetsusaiga." He admired the blade that he was never allowed to have. This time though no deadly aura was protecting it from him. He picked it up and nothing happened, it didn't fight him, he could feel the sword learning to recognize its new owner. It was now his, the Tetsusaiga, was his. Things were too good for him. Inu-Yasha would survive long as a human, he got the Tetsusaiga and Kagome was his.
