GoTrinba: i would love to make the chapters longer, but i'm in middle school and i'm taking 2 highschool classes, and when i get home tris steals the computer until 4, and then i'm trying to type while talking to lisa (who i never really get to see and she's my best friend) and then i'm in the middle of rereading the black jewels trilogy (great books, go read them...but be warned, they're for adults) and a million other things. i find it easier to update daily but have shortish chapters. mabye this weekend they'll be a bit longer.

THOSE FEARED

I stumble through the forest, Jaken coming along somewhere behind me, wailing for me to wait for him. Feh. Why should I waste my time on him, why haven't I killed him yet? Because he cares. Not much, but he cares. I dout he would if he knew.... But he doesn't, and he shows concern, and sometimes that's enough. I just wish he would leave well enough alone and stop trying to pry out of me what's wrong. Feh. Stupid toad.

I still can't get over it. Years later...it still manages to amaze me. A small smile oh my part sends the nearly cought up Jaken scurring for the cover of a bush. He peeks at me from behind it, but I do not see. I am too lost in memories.

Sesshomaru stood at a window, his face mere inches from it, his breath steaming the payne. It was cold out, and while the cold never bothered him, that human bitch had expressed concern. Henceforth, his father told him that under no cirumstances was he to leave that day to go ANYWHERE. While Sesshoamru usauly ignored such threats, the gleam in his father's eyes told him that today disobeying him might not be such a good idea.

So, here he stood, watching the snow fall.

Besides, today was that brats -what was his name? inu-something?- birthday. That alone would have kept him. Since that day several years ago he had not seen the brat. He had left and not returned for a good number of years. And what his luck. The time he returns, and it's that brat's birthday. Feh.

Perfect timing, you baka.

Oh all the days to return... Just his luck.

Feh.

He was so lost in watching the snow fall that he barey noticed the small form pad up to stand beside him. He contuned looking at the snow while a pair of amber eyes watched him.

When at last the owner of the amber eyes spoke, it was so un-expected that it made Sesshoamru jump slightly. "Were you always so tall?"

Blinking rapidly, he glanced down at the small up-turned face level with his waist. "wha?" He blinked a few more times, trying to regain his composure. "No, of course I wasn't always this tall..."

"Oh. Does that mean someday I might be as tall?"

"SESSHOMARU!"

Whirling, both Sesshomaru and the small Inuyasha beheld their father storming toward them, murder in his eyes.

"Yes, father?" Sesshomaru asked coldly. Inuyasha seemed startled with the change in the Youaki. (i think it's spelled like that) "What are you doing?"

"Having a 'civil' confersation with my young half-brother on my hieght. And what are you doing?"

The small Inuyasha stuffed his hand into his mouth to keep from laughing. Their father on the other hand....

Snarling, he took a few steps toward the cold Sesshomaru and giggling Inuyasha. "INUYASHA! Your mother wants you." Nodding, the small hanyou shot one more glance at Sesshomaru before scurring off. Their father contuined to growl at his other son. "I do not want you toching, or even NEAR Inuyasha. Do you understand?"

Sesshomaru nodded once. "Yes, I understand. Obeying is another matter entirely. He is my half-brother, and, unlike you seem to believe, I will not hurt him. There is no reason to."

He walked away.

"SESSHOMARU!" his father hollored. "SESSHOMARU!"

----

He later stood at another window, this time the sky dark, but the snow still falling. Again, inuyasha approached him. This time, Sesshomaru didn't jump when the hanyou spoke. "Why did father yell at you? Are you one of his servants?"

Sesshomaru balked at the segustion of being a servant. "No, his son."

Inuyasha seemed troubled slightly. "But I'm his son."

Sesshomaru smiled softly. "Yes, you are small one. We are half-brothers. My mother wasd killed."

Momentarly, Inuyasha seemed torn between joy at having a brother, sadness for his brother's mother's death, or bristling at being called 'small one'.

Finally, joy won. He promtly glomped Sesshoamru's leg. Startled, said Sesshomaru fell over, the small hanyou clinging to his leg. "I'M SO HAPPY!" Inuyasha gushed. "I always wanted a brother!"

The next day Sesshomaru left, but this time he came back in a month, insead of years later.
