A Silver Heart
Inuyasha's Training, Sesshoumaru's Mate (Part 3/12)
By Wyltk
"I'm going to kill you!"
A large tan flying object, also known as Hiraikotsu, flung towards Inuyasha's mid section. He jumped to the side rolling and ending up facing her right side. He brought his claws up as she turned to face him. He smiled one fang hanging charmingly, if you weren't on the other end of this smile and were beyond blonde, out of the side of his mouth.
"IRON REAMER SOUL STEALER!"
The girl escaped the blades as if they were mere toys and he rolled his eyes heaven wards as she again threw the Hiraikotsu at him again. This time he waited a few minutes timing it to perfection. He jumped at the precise moment and managed to land on Hiraikotsu as it passed where he had been. He whirled around on it as it swung itself in an arch and headed back to the amused girl. She grabbed the huge boomerang just as he jumped off.
"Inuyasha! That wasn't funny!"
She glared at him and checked her weapon over making sure that his claws hadn't touched it. Once assured it was fine she turned to the mildly amused half demon surprised anew at how different he was from when she first met him.
"I thought it was, wench."
"My name is Sango." Alright so not ALL that different.
"Wench."
"San-go!"
"San-go wench."
Rolling her eyes she picked up her large weapon and bopped him on the head. He melted to the ground clutching his head with both hands. He glared at her evilly. She smiled at him holding out a hand to help him up, which he waved away sitting up himself. He never had been big on physical contact unless he was fighting.
"You've become better." Inuyasha complimented her. They had begun training two times a week. A pact forming between them, she was allowed to come visit him here in the forest. And he was allowed to take her to their packs ground as long as she was blind folded on the way to and from. The blind fold had been forgone weeks ago but the pact was still there. She, and her village, didn't touch any dog demon unless it was crazed, hurting humans, other creatures, or if in self defense. And he in turn kept and punished any dog demons that didn't listen to the law that was laid. And together they trained.
"And you're getting worse." Sango replied smartly. Inuyasha swiped playfully at her, his claws carefully retracted.
"I have to get back I'm late, big brothers going to be mad." Inuyasha sighed as he picked her up running for her village.
"When is he not mad?"
"Sometimes. Just wait soon he'll be better."
"Why's that?"
"His mate's pregnant."
He could feel Sango jump and laughed as he landed lightly at the edge of the forest just before her village. He let her down and she turned and stared at him her eyes demanding the answers to her unspoken questions.
"He hasn't smelt the difference yet?"
"She covers it with tree sap. My brother can track a three year old smell but he can't pick a small apart and smell the differences. I still don't understand that. But Jaken says I inherited that from my dad. He says Sesshoumaru got the tail and the energy reading thing. What's funny is he keeps asking her why she's using human perfume and where she got it."
"Oh! She's so dead when he finds out."
Inuyasha nodded wisely choosing to say nothing as she made sure she had everything. She smiled slightly as he bowed formally.
"Tell Miroku to be good."
"Yea like that's going to happen."
Sango rolled her eyes and waved to him as she jogged for her own village. After making sure she made it safely there he jumped on a tree and jumped from tree to tree running as fast as he could to make it in time for dinner. Not because Sesshoumaru would be mad, heck he could wait an eternity for what he cared, but if he didn't hurry Rin wouldn't feed him at all.

It took only a few minutes to make his way to their packs homes and with one final bound he was safely in the cave he shared with Sesshoumaru and Rin. He smiled charmingly at Rin as she stared at him before bring out one more bowl and filling it. He sighed in relief and gave her hand an affectionate squeeze when she handed the bowl to him. One of the only things he could get away with around Sesshoumaru, even if it was only brotherly feelings to Sesshoumaru's human.
His eyes looked around carefully as he searched out his brother's familiar form. He had found his brother more then 50 years ago. After he had met a woman named Kikyo who was being controlled by a demon named Naraku. He had thought he had been in love with her but when he had told her she had attacked him. If his brother hadn't been there he would have been killed. However, she was, by her own greed. Naraku had destroyed her when he found she hadn't destroyed him. His brother took him in and started training him in the ways of a dog demon. And for some reason he had stayed. And after a while his brother had met the human Rin when she stumbled into his territory. He had stayed with the both of them since then, helping his brother lead their pack, as their father had wanted.
But, though his brothers smell was coming from somewhere in the cave, he couldn't see him. He looked towards the two tunnels that branched off from the main cave to give them each separate rooms. After a minute of staring intently at the opening and eating quickly, his brother came out nodding at him before picking up his own bowl. He smiled his thanks to Rin and set the bowl down quietly slinking to his room.
"Little brother, where are you going? We still have to talk about father's sword."
"Feh." Inuyasha sighed and stopped crawling, sitting cross legged in front of the tunnel leading to his room.
"That's not a word."
"To you."
"Why must I deal with you?"
"You're the one that saved me."
"I still don't understand how you got mixed up with one of the worst demon haters our kind has ever seen. But that's not why I stopped you. When are you going to look for Tetsusaiga? You know our father meant it for you."
"I told you I'll get it soon."
"It's our father's legacy! He left it to you, you ungrateful pup!"
"A father I never met!" Inuyasha stood up and turned into his own tunnel rushing through.
Sesshoumaru turned to Rin a half snarl on his face. He gestured to where his brother had just disappeared and growled softly. Rin sighed going over to lean against him. She reach a hand up and stroked through his hair watching as he nuzzled into her light touch.
"Sesshoumaru, calm down my mate, you'll have heart pains." She turned his face to look at her and kissed him softly, "Will you go talk to your brother and stop being so stubborn. He is hurting just as much as you even after all these years. He lost both his mother and father before he had a chance to know them. You still have your mother."
He huffed and she lowered her chin looking up at him with large, sad eyes. "For Rin, Fluffy-sama."
He stood up marching to his brother's room. "You'll pay for calling my Fluffy." He said over his shoulder and watched a small grin flirt with her face.
"And I'll enjoy every minute of it as long as you come back on good terms with Inuyasha."

Inuyasha flung himself back on the bed and twisted the pearl in his hands. The black pearl that had fallen from his eye, the one that contained their father's grave sight. He had found it months ago and had just recently gotten the Tetsusaiga to come out of the stone for him.
He had hidden them from his brother unsure of what to say to him. But he would have to tell his brother soon. Either that or his brother would strangle him when he found out. Inuyasha fingered the Tetsusaige looking over the rusted sword and curious looking for the secret to it.
"Where in the heck did you get that!"
Wincing he turned to meet the gaze of his irate brother.
~*~
"You did what?! YOU IDIOT!"
Rin winced at the sound of her beloveds fist smashing into the head of his only brother. Silence took the place of the shouts that had vibrated the cave moments earlier and she hummed softly to replace the silence. She quickly had the cave back into its usual spotless order and was just feeding the fire when Jaken stepped into the cave.
"Yes, Jaken?"
"I need to see lord Sesshoumaru, and lord Inuyasha."
"Alright, please wait here."
Jaken bowed and she inclined her head as she walked into Inuyasha's room glaring at the two boys who were wrestling around on the floor. They were trying to kill each other but doing a poor job.
"Jaken is waiting for you." The both paused and Sesshoumaru's cheeks dusted with a light pink as he stood up and brushed himself off putting out a hand to help Inuyasha up. The both walked calmly out Rin following with a mild expression of amusement as Jaken bowed to the two men who moments before been acting like spoilt pups.
"What is it Jaken?" Sesshoumaru ordered as Inuyasha strapped the sword to the side of his kimono.
"It has come to my attention that five dog demons have gone too attack and kill a youkai family, unprovoked."
"Take us to them." Inuyasha growled lowly…
AN: To Kristen Sharpe: I must admit there is a reason why I'm not mentioning a lot about 'her' present. Yes, she is from modern times. And I promise all will be revealed why she doesn't mention it to much really soon…. Okay in the later chapters… Uh oh heck it's a while from now but it will be revealed. Promise! Thanks for your review!
