Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any characters from it.
Well sorry this took so long, I went on vacation. This chapter is kinda, well, mean. Especially to Inuyasha, Sesshomaru appears and teaches Inuyasha a lesson, if you've gotten my drift. "Ouch."
Oh and I also made it longer...
Chapter 6:
I ran through the forest at full speed journeying far and wide, looking for answers. I only asked demons about what may have happened because humans were untrustworthy, and that's when I realized that demons were even worse. They had no compassion they just killed innocent lives. Only the child demons were innocent enough to talk to, but they were guarded by their mothers. About a year has passed and I'm 14 years old now. I can see a group of people, wait no they're demons, I can smell them.
Amongst them is my brother... Sesshomaru.
He smelled me right away; he turned towards me and walked away from his group of friends. They all turned in my direction.
"Well well well, if it isn't my little brother..." he exclaimed.
"Sesshomaru..." I replied.
"Yeah it's me... so how old are you now? Hm, lets see I'm two years older than you so that makes you fourteen... and a half demon!" he snarled.
"Yeah... that's what I am" I said.
I could feel all the eyes glaring in my direction and I felt Sesshomaru's cold eyes meet mine. I knew Sesshomaru was going to do something to me... he loved toying with my emotions, and yet I always believed him. He had bullied me since I was a kid and once I saw him I thought he changed, but from the look of his glare he still hated me with a passion.
One of his friends stood up.
"You have a half demon brother?" The demon asked.
"Yes, and I can make him cry!" Sesshomaru smiled.
"Really? Let's see!" The demon replied.
I gulped and looked at my feet. I could take any punishment he'd give me. I never stood a chance against Sesshomaru. He was stronger, faster, wiser and had a larger ego. If I killed his ego he would kill me, so I had to take the beating.
"But I won't, because he's my brother!" he continued.
I looked up surprised, "W-What? R-Really?" I stuttered. I loved my brother for this act of compassion, maybe he didn't hate me after all, just maybe he could love me, and maybe I wasn't his enemy.
Sesshomaru grabbed me by the back of my shirt and dragged me towards his friends.
"If you like him, then I'll let him go free, if you hate him than I'll make him cry..." Sesshomaru answered.
I can't even trust my own brother, he still despises me and he still will hurt me, but he won't kill me because dad said so. Instead he makes me break down.
"Soooo, kid... what's your name?" one demon asked.
"Inuyasha..." I replied.
They all burst out laughing.
"Well what a strong name," the demon said sarcastically, "you a dog boy?"
"N-No I'm a dog demon... there's a difference..." I answered.
I tried to sound courageous, but with Sesshomaru still grasping the back of my shirt I didn't dare move.
"Well Sesshomaru's a dog demon and he doesn't express it to the world... and you're not even a demon... you're a half demon... there's a major difference!" another demon explained, she was female.
"I-I know..." I said.
"Well what do you guys think? Is he worth it?" Sesshomaru asked.
"You know what? I think we should proclaim to the world what this kid is... I think we should beat him up and make him cry in front of humans!" the female demon said.
"You know what? That's not a bad idea!" Sesshomaru said looking at me, "he deserves a punishment... he shouldn't have disturbed us!"
"And that's always the best punishment!" another demon said.
"But one rule... we can't kill him... we can only make him suffer!" Sesshomaru said.
I felt my heart pounding... I had to get out of this one. If humans found out about myself as a half demon, or if they saw me become weakened they may come after me.
"Why don't you let them kill me Sesshomaru? Are you scared?" I asked, taunting him. I was trying to lower his ego but it didn't work, because maybe if I lowered it he would consider me an equal.
"Don't try me Inuyasha, you know exactly why, and if you say a word I will tell them all your weakness!"
I couldn't risk having my secret told about the new moon. I just had to take the beating. This was going to be the worst. I was going to bleed, and probably cry in front of humans. Also, humans had no compassion for a "half- breed" like me. I wanted to die, I wish my father had said nothing, because if he hadn't I wouldn't have to suffer. I could die with honor... but instead I'm going to be humiliated, what's the point?
They carried me towards the village and threw me down. People from everywhere in the village gasped as a gang of demons entered.
"Don't fear villagers! We are here to dispose of this boy for you. We will leave him here afterwards for your approval. He cannot hurt you or us because he is too weak, but just to show you not to mess with us we will beat him up, and toy with him. He is a half-demon if we can beat him up, we can kill you!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
I was shaking; I looked up at my big brother. Every other brother would see him has an idol, but I saw him as a person who could inflict serious pain.
He threw me on the ground; all the villagers watched as he kicked me and punched me. I didn't use my sword, I didn't dare. Sesshomaru had a better sword than I; he would slice me in minutes. I lunged back at him but he twisted my arm and to my dismay I heard a crack. It was broken.
"AH! OW!" I exclaimed.
All the demons including Sesshomaru laughed.
"Don't mess with me Inuyasha; just take it like a demon!"
"I am no demon!"
At those words I was hit straight in the nose.
I flew backwards onto the ground. I hadn't begun crying yet.
"No wonder dad disliked you! You're a wimp, man I was told to protect you... but what's the use if you can't protect yourself?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Dad never disliked me?" I said, getting up. I felt dazed, being hit in the nose did that to you. I figured my nose was also broken.
"In some ways sword wounds are better than physical ones, right Inuyasha?" He asked me.
I shook my head. I was lying, my arm and nose were broken, and once he broke my leg I would be done. He wouldn't dare break my back for fear of my death.
"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" I exclaimed scratching his face, I had used my other arm.
Once I had scratched him he kneed me, dead right in the stomach, and I fell to the ground. I vomited up the food I had eaten that day.
"Dammit!" I coughed.
"Hm, sorry did you lose your lunch? Don't curse little brother! It's bad for your vocabulary! You're only fourteen you know!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
"Quiet FLUFFY!" I exclaimed, putting emphasis on the word fluffy.
"What did you just call me?" he asked.
"You heard me! It's what dad used to call you, FLUFFY, because of your tail!" I answered.
His whole gang started to laugh and he blushed. He gave me a cold stare and I knew I was going to get the worst of it. As I turned around I heard the villagers laughing at Sesshomaru. I was in for it!
His face was redder that a ripe raspberry and I knew he was going to kill me, not literally of course.
"Yeah that's my name, Fluffy... at least I didn't wet the bed until I was ten!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
"H-How did you know that? You didn't live with us!" I exclaimed.
"Correction, yeah I did. You never saw me though. I was out or you were out and when you were twelve I left!" Sesshomaru exclaimed, "I came home frequently in the night seeing you squirm about death and seeing your bed soaked."
"So you know then?" I asked.
"Know what?" he wondered.
"That I killed my mother..." I trailed off.
He burst out laughing.
"Nice for you to take all the credit, but no... I killed your mother!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
I felt anger take over me and then I blacked out. I awoke to Sesshomaru on the ground shaking.
"W-What was that?" Sesshomaru stuttered.
I fell to my knees and I began to cry.
"Y-You killed mom!" I exclaimed.
"What the hell did you just do? YOU FREAK! How the hell did you turn into a full demon?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I didn't I can't change into full demon, it's impossible!" I shouted.
"Whatever you did you're gonna pay!" Sesshomaru said, as he revealed a deep large gash on his arm.
I continued to cry. I cried for everything. For no one that loved me. Kikyo had even abandoned me at one point. She could do it again at anytime.
Sesshomaru picked me up by my hair. It hurt so badly, but I didn't move, it just added to my tears.
"W-Why did you do it?" I asked.
"Because she took the place of my mother, and she shouldn't have, she gave me a half-brother who got all the attention and father loved you more than he loved me!" He replied.
"THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RITE TO KILL HER!" I roared.
"I'm a demon, it's what we do, KID, and if you can't deal with that, than go wet your bed and keep me outta it!"
"Just because you're older doesn't mean you're better! Wow two years... soon that won't make a difference I'll still kick your ass!" I said.
Sesshomaru dropped me. He looked around the village. They were all laughing at me now because of how Sesshomaru revealed something embarrassing about me. A nickname was no match for a truthful fact.
I was on the ground. I could hear the laughter from the humans clearly, my nose was broken and bleeding, my arm was broken, and my legs were bloody and bruised from all the kicking.
"Do you hear that Inuyasha? That's the crowd; they laugh at you not me? Who do you think won?" He asked.
"At least they get their entertainment... and I get nothing. I get a brother that loathes me, I get a broken nose and arm, and most of all I get my ego shattered. But do you know what? I don't care... you're older than me, and a full demon, but you're still clueless! All I've ever wanted to be is you, accepted, strong, and all I've ever gotten is people staring and spitting at me; people who can't look me in the eye because of what I am. And you complain about no one loving you! Look at your buddies, at least you have friends, I have one friend, and you know what? She's probably gonna hate me soon too! So don't complain about mom not loving you, because now she's dead and who do I have left? YOU!"
"Me?" Sesshomaru asked, he looked at all the words I had said and he was now staring at me in shame.
I had revealed everything to my older brother, in front of everyone and for that him and I both felt shame. We had both revealed something that should've been kept secret and he had tortured me. No one could interfere anymore, not even my mom.
"I get stuck with a selfish brother who killed the only one whoever cared about me! My mom loved me and now she died because of you, and you're laughing? DO YOU THINK DEATH IS FUNNY? What if I killed you? WOULD YOU BE LAUGHING?"
"No, because I'd be dead, moron!" Sesshomaru growled.
Those were the last words I heard until the pressure in my head from the pain and yelling had taken over, and all I could hear was the laughing of the villagers and the scowl of my older brother. One thought struck my head as I lost consciousness. My mother had died, not me and my father had commanded Sesshomaru not to kill either of us. He had spared me, did that mean he actually cared?
See I dunno about this chapter, but I hadta show how bad Sesshomaru was to Inuyasha so it was a necessity. I also had to find a way for Sesshy to tell Inuyasha about his mom. Don't worry all you Sesshy fans I'll make the next one good to Sesshy. I also wanted to show how nieve older brothers can be. Especially when they're teens. And the whole bed thing was basically a ploy so Inu could mention death in his nightmares and have him say that. And there had to be a reason why Sesshomaru was mean. I had to fit a lot of stuff into the plot this chapter so don't be offended if you guys don't like it. Anyways as I said the next one will be better and less mean!
