Gwg:does a little dance: I never thought to get this far in this story! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews! Someone asked about a sequel for this fic and I really don't know. I might not even do a epilogue, it depends on if I have the time and if I have it in me. Hm, maybe I should take a vote on that. Anywho, I would like to also thank anyone who has reviewed for Second Chance or Forbidden Love! And now, on to the story!

Kiss me softly, steal my soul. Wish you luck, for when you grow old...nothing matters in a world in which nothing exists...just a floating memory on the brink of destruction. - - By Elementalist

Sakura Blossoms and Kisses: Chapter 17

A slight smile tugged at the edges of Sesshomaru's lips as he replied, "You know me too well brother. I promised you that I would be here."

Inuyasha nodded his head, jumping down from his perch and landing in front of his brother. "Will you give me your answer this time?"

Sesshomaru nodded his head yes, causing Inuyasha's eyes to light up.

"I do not love you." Inuyasha's heart shattered, but he would not let his eyes or his voice betray him. As Sesshomaru started to walk off Inuyasha tried to think of something to stop him, his mind remembering Sesshomaru's other promise as his eyes danced with mischief.

"You promised to kiss me."

Sesshomaru stopped and turned around, replying as he did so, "That was only if I loved you."

Inuyasha shook his head as he said, "No, you just promised to kiss me. You didn't say that you're answer had to be yes."

Sesshomaru smiled inwardly at his brother's mischievousness. It seems he has me. he thought to himself as he walked over to his brother, looking into his amber eyes before he leaned down and kissed him, his heart in the kiss. Inuyasha returned to kiss with equal passion, wrapping his arms around his brother's neck, Inuyasha deepened the kiss. Sesshomaru pulled his brother closer, putting one arm around his waist and the other behind his head. As Sesshomaru pulled away, for a moment his eyes betrayed what he felt for his younger brother.

And then, without a word, Sesshomaru walked away from his younger brother. Inuyasha, you are my spring. The light in my cold life, maybe next time I will tell you, maybe then we can be together...my beloved brother... Sesshomaru thought as he walked off.

Sesshomaru could not allow himself to believe that his brother, his aijin, was truly standing there. A smirk, as always, graced Inuyasha's features as he started down towards where his brother was standing. Along the way people parted for who they knew to be Prince Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's younger half brother. Suddenly, it didn't seem to matter if he was a hanyou or not, for in their eyes he could be a savior.

"Brother." Inuyasha intoned as he walked up to him. Hesitation was in his elder brother's eyes as he stared down at him. A moment of silence followed Inuyasha's statement, until a smirk that rivaled his own appeared on his brother's features.

"Hello, little brother." Sesshomaru replied in his silky voice. Inuyasha fought back the laughter that was rising in his chest before he turned to face Naraku. The Tetsusaiga stayed transformed over his shoulder as he stood there in silence. Sesshomaru soon turned his gaze to their mutual enemy.

"Well, well, well…it seems that the Shikon No Tama granted Lord Sesshomaru's wish. Pity, I was hoping to become a full youkai with that jewel." Naraku stated as his eyes became dark with hatred. This would be his only chance to finish off the two brothers that had plagued him for so long.

"Face it, Naraku…you're out-numbered and out-classed." Inuyasha spoke up as he waited for a few minutes before lunging at Naraku, swinging the Tetsusaiga at him. Naraku quickly dodged Inuyasha's attack, only to get backed into Sesshomaru's poison claw attack. A smirk graced the taiyoukai's features as he slashed Naraku, only to miss the half-breed by an inch. It was then that everything came crashing down on Naraku, as his vision soon turned to only crimson...
