Chapter 1

Inuyasha's Ball

"WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! MOMMY! MOMMMY! SHESSOMERU POPPED MY NEW BALL!" Tears ran down his face and he dashed into his mother arms.

"Calm down, InuYasha, now, tell mommy what happened."

"We were playing catch, and I throwed the ball to him, and he just used his claws and he popped my new ball, the special one daddy gave me for my birthday!"

With that he started sobbing into his moms shoulder as she hugged him and tried to calm him down.

"Now, don't you worry, we'll take care of Shessomeru, now, why don't you go to your room, and paint a picture? We'll be having dinner soon, so don't make too much of a mess."

InuYasha got out his paints and made a picture of him shoving Shessomeru's head down an ant hill. Suddenly, his ears pricked, he heard his dad coming down the road. He left his paints aside, and dashed out of the house.

"Dad!" he attached himself to his dads leg. "Dad, Shessomeru popped my new ball!"

"Now, what's this? He popped your new ball?" he lifted InuYasha so he could sit on his shoulder. "Don't you worry, your mother and I will be sure to have a good talk to him. And tomorrow I'll get you a new ball. Ok?" They had reached the house.

All through dinner, InuYasha and Shessomeru sat glaring at each other across the table. InuYasha finished quickly and went to his room, but stood close to the door in hopes of hearing his parents yell at Shessomeru. But he instead saw Shessomeru go outside to play, and heard his mom start to talk to his dad.

"Darling, I'm worried about the boys. They don't seem to be getting along very well. Shessomeru is constantly picking on InuYasha, and when I cleaned their rooms the other day, I found these under Inuyasha's bed." She pulled out a stack of paintings. Each one was a scene with InuYasha doing something to Shessomeru. InuYasha dangling Shessomeru from a tree like a piñata, InuYasha hitting Shessomeru on the head with a large stick, InuYasha dunking Shessomeru in the river next to some sharp rocks, InuYasha pushing Shessomeru off a cliff, … the list went on and on.

"They're just being boys, I assure you, my brothers and I did it all the time when we were younger."

"Yes, well, I thought it might have something to do with InuYasha being a, well, you know, a half demon." She lowered he voice when she said this, because she didn't want InuYasha to pick this up on his ears, but he was listening and heard this perfectly. " I think we should get them to do something together, why don't you take them hunting tomorrow?"

"That is a very dangerous job! I can't destroy other demons with them around! They could get hurt!"

"Shessomeru is a full demon, and almost age 11! You need to start teaching him how to hunt, and InuYasha just turned 6! He should be able to learn, even if he isn't, well …"

"Fine I'll take them out on a day hunt in the forest tomorrow. But I will not let them go out with me at night, and I will not let them come unarmed! I'm going to give them to them now."
