Hiya! I'm back again! Love the reviews! Thanks a bunch! They were really cheering! Okay so I had a hint or two that some people wanted yaoi but I'm not too certain, well I'll try but it's at a minimum. I'm too lazy to change the summary to include that!

"InuYasha, what a surprise to find you here with the girl. Is there some special purpose?" Said InuYasha's half-brother.

"Sesshomaru." InuYasha's voice at a monotone. "You insensitive demon. Don't you know it's not polite to interrupt someone mourning?"

"You did not sense my presence before now? Who knew that a mere human would be the cause for your new weakness?" he taunted. He knew why InuYasha had not drawn his sword like he normally would and attempted to kill him as was his usual greeting, wasn't that it was hard considering that InuYasha was crouching by the girl's still body. He mentally wondered if it would be possible for him to have such a breakdown if Rin was killed. He thought not.

"What d'ya think?" he said vehemently. He had not realized what was most important as he retorted to his brother's statements (think ya know what he's missing?).

"Milord! Milord!" the annoying green frog said in his annoying squeaky voice. "Go fight him milord! Why is InuYasha not speaking?"

"I can speak fine toad" said the irritated InuYasha. How Sesshomaru could stand the torture of listening it talk was beyond his comprehension.

Rin peeked out from a bush; she did not see InuYasha as she ran to greet Sesshomaru.

"You're back!" she exclaimed happily, "While you were off me and Jaken picked flowers and" she stopped seeing InuYasha for the first time. "Who is that Lord Sesshomaru?"

InuYasha was stunned for a moment, his brother a full demon who said he hated humans going and having one in his company, alive and seemingly well. He wondered why she wasn't dead yet. He guessed he's never know, Sesshomaru would probably kill him now and if he gave him a chance to fight the half-demon was sure he would lose, he was too far in despair, he had no will and Kagome was dead, how could he live without her?

"I challenge you" the words from the demon came forth, InuYasha's death sentence.

"Just kill me" was the monotonous response. His heart was dead now.

Sesshomaru was surprised but hid it well, no fight, that wasn't honorable at all! Then suddenly he felt a pulse at both sides of his hips. The sword Tokijin had been thirsting for InuYasha's blood for a longtime but being on it's master's hip had made the throb subside slightly, however now Sesshomaru realized not only was Tokijin pulsing yet Tensaiga was as well, he wondered what I meant, long ago he had learned that everything happened for a reason, you just had to figure out that reason.

"No, it would be worthless to kill you now InuYasha, you are not at your best or normal to say the like."

Finally it clicked, Tensaiga was vibrating because of the dead human, Sesshomaru wondered why it pulsed near this human and also by Rin when she had died.

InuYasha laughed softly, almost dangerously.

"Then you'll be waiting a long time Sesshomaru, I won't be my best until I have something to fight- no to live for. My life has lost its meaning." InuYasha said it so certainly and softly that his brother almost believed him as the soulless amber eyes turned to meet his own cold ones.

Sesshomaru was not one to let a family member die in disgrace or in such mourning; he wanted them if they had to go down, down in a true fight in which they had given it all. He was just saving InuYasha from disgrace by killing him himself instead of letting the half-breed die in a battle against some worthless lesser demon. He had heard of the ones that InuYasha apparently single-handedly defeated demons which no one had thought that one not full demon could destroy, he knew that the powers of the Tetsusaiga were great and that if a demon was able to wield it then he or she would be a very respected and great demon. A demon as powerful as he wielding the sword would undoubtedly be living death to any who crossed him.

"What is it that has made your pitiful life worthless to even yourself?" he asked the slightest hint of compassion in his voice.

"You won't care" said the hanyou.

"It's that human isn't it? The one you're kneeling by" his demon brother stated more than asked. Sesshomaru was suddenly struck by an idea; why not bring the girl to life? In exchange for a fight that InuYasha would probably lose which mean that he could take the Tetsusaiga and kill his weakling half-brother at the same time which was killing two birds with one stone.

"InuYasha, I can bring your wench back to life."

"So? Not like you will, you hate humans."

"I will if you fight me."

At his brother's words InuYasha looked up. Here was a chance he had to consider, he knew Sesshomaru was stronger, but fighting him would mean Kagome would live again, however if he fought his brother then chances were he would die, what was the right decision?

Sesshomaru looked at the girl that caused the Tensaiga to pulse. His breath nearly stopped, she looked exactly like his mother in her more human form. He was captivated. Then remembering that she was InuYasha's mate made him have to stop the growl of – what? What was he so concerned about? He had to get his answer soon and he hoped that InuYasha would make the choice that would bring her to life. It was honorable as he was quite certain that considering the smell of her currently tainted blood it was a small demon which had killed her, therefore it meant that it was InuYasha's fault for not protecting his mate. He fought another growl, what was he so concerned on the girl's well being? It wasn't right, she was after all a mere human.

"Well InuYasha? Have you decided? Her soul is beginning to leave her body, if you do not decide soon I may not be able to restore her life."
