Hey Hey! I didn't really get much reviews for the last chapter but that doesn't really matter. WHAT matters is, is that the next one after this is gonna be good and I already got a start on it. It'll be emotional and yes I will keep u in suspense because I feel evil right now. I'm trying to make it longer than my other ones, depending on the ideas. Anyways I'll put up the next chapter probably by the middle or the end of next week. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'll see u next time! Oh but before I go let me apologize for the length of this chapter. I know it's small but I really wanted to write the next chapter and I was busy with school stuff. So like always enjoy the chapter!!!

"Give me the Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha."

"Feh. You'll never get it!"

The half brothers stared each other down, the signs of battle flowing through their eyes. It was going to be a close battle and they knew it.

The blanket of painful memories wrapped itself around Inuyasha's mind. It made the hanyou shudder as the warming pain settled in. But the blanket was lifted when he pushed it away with cold.

Inuyasha's eyes narrowed into slits and bared his teeth when he spoke.

"How could you do that to Kagome?"

Sesshomaru wasn't ready for that answer quite yet. He was expecting Inuyasha to start threatening him and telling him he couldn't have the fang. A rare smile crossed the demon's face. It was one that was caused by pleasant memories and it brought him tremendous joy to know that he was hurting his half brother with them. Sesshomaru's teeth were showing. They shone in the sunlight.

The quick flash of light off of the demon's teeth brought Inuyasha completely out of his memories. He began to rack his brains, trying to come up with a plan. He could either kill the demon, or not kill him and take the risk of losing Tetsusaiga. He chose the first idea, and carried out the plan.

"You'll pay with your life for what you out Kagome through!"

He quickly placed a hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga and pulled it in front of him, then prepared for battle.

"So you wish to challenge me?" the demon said in a sly, but bland voice. "I'll make sure you won't make it to see the next sunrise," and with that Sesshomaru charged towards Inuyasha.

Fang against Fang, the half brothers met each other at full force. Sparks flew everywhere and smoldered in the dry grass. They continued to do that until brown and black spots were now the mark of where the grass used to be.

Sesshomaru called on some of his strength and used it to strike Inuyasha.

The hanyou quickly raised Tetsusaiga to block the attack. He was thrown backwards a bit and left sliding marks in the soft ground. He rested the fang on his shoulder and glared at Sesshomaru for a second before he spoke. The words were harmless enough, but they did make the demon very angry, angrier than he already was.

"You weren't meant for Tetsusaiga. Isn't that obvious?"

Sesshomaru's fists clenched as his half brother made the petty comment. The fact that Tetsusaiga wasn't his still maddened him a great deal.

The demon narrowed his eyes until they were just slits on his face. The fearsome amber eyes turned red for a moment. He would have to keep his anger in check.

Inuyasha could tell that Sesshomaru was thinking and decided to take action.

He jumped up in the air and brought Tetsusaiga down on the ground.

"Wind scar!"

The demon was taken off guard and attempted to jump out of the way, but failed.

Inuyasha's attack caught him in the back. His skin tissue was ripped and there was now a triangular shape on the demon's back. He screamed as his deep-dark-red blood splattered everywhere.

Inuyasha cringed a little bit when he saw his half brother's body fat and muscles that were now exposed to everything.

Sesshomaru turned around and faced the hanyou.

"Is that the best you got?"

Inuyasha knew another challenge when he smelt one. He put the Tetsusaiga above his head and ran towards Sesshomaru.

Fang met Fang once again as the two continuously fought in a one on one locked battle.

Inuyasha pulled his fang away from Sesshomaru's and prepared to run it through the demon, but the demon's claws met Inuyasha first.

The razor sharp claws easily ripped through Inuyasha's skin. They just barely missed his beating heart.

Sesshomaru pulled them out just as fast as he had out them in. He watched as Inuyasha tried to scream, but he only managed to spit out a huge wad of fresh blood.

The hanyou jumped back and stuck the Tetsusaiga down into the soft soil. He bent down and put his hands on his legs and began breathing heavily. It was just all the fighting that was wearing him out. He watched as Sesshomaru did the same thing.

After about fifteen minutes the demon finally decided to open his mouth.

"So half brother I see you weaken quite easily."

"Feh. You shouldn't be talking."

The hanyou stood back up and steadied himself for another attack from Sesshomaru.

The demon came charging with great speed – his injuries not slowing him down at all.

Inuyasha thought quickly and jumped behind the demon, catching him off guard yet again. He took Tetsusaiga and brought it to Sesshomaru's neck. He froze instantly and took in a quick breath.

"Go now Sesshomaru, with some dignity, or die at the blade of Tetsusaiga."

"Why do you give me a choice?"

"Because," and that was all Inuyasha was planning to say.

"Hmmmmm."

Inuyasha pulled the Tetsusaiga back and let the demon decide his fate. He chose life and started to walk away. He was just about fifteen feet away, when he turned around.

"Next time we meet only one of us will survive. No one will help you. Speaking of helpers, where's your wench?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened with the realization that Kagome still hadn't come back. He looked towards Sesshomaru and turned around and began running.

"Kagome where are you?"
