Chapter 3: Never the Same
The melancholy hanyou sat cross-legged on his futon. He felt like all was lost for him. The stupid humans of the Eastern Lands had killed his father right in front of him and his brother's eyes. Tears were in his eyes. The only other time in his life that he had cried was when his human mother died. Why InuTaisho took a human mate after Sesshomaru's mother died, InuYasha never knew. The only thing he really cared about at the moment was Kagome and his dead father.
InuYasha had just returned from the funeral. His father was buried under a cherry tree, along with his grandfather, great-grandfather, and his great-great grandfather. Someday Sesshomaru would be buried there. But InuYasha wouldn't. It was because he would never be the Lord of the Western Lands.
'I'll never be the same. Neither will Sesshomaru or our sibling bond.' InuYasha thought as he went to a laying down position. He had only seen Sesshomaru once after his father's death, which was at the funeral. His brother didn't talk to anybody since their father's death.
Sesshomaru quietly opened InuYasha's bedroom door. "InuYasha; you are to leave my castle at once." He said in a calm, smooth tone of voice.
InuYasha whipped his head around to face his brother. "What!" he exclaimed. This couldn't be happening. He was being thrown out of his own home. But why would Sesshomaru do this to him?
"If your hanyou ears did not hear me the first time, they will not hear me again." Sesshomaru said. The aura around him was cold. "I do not want to smell your vile human scent again. Leave my castle."
What had happened to his brother? InuYasha knew that Sesshomaru was cold and anti-social, but to cast out his own brother… or maybe that is what he wanted in the first place. He was just waiting for InuTaisho to die so he would be in power. "No. You're not getting me to leave!" he growled as he slashed his claws at Sesshomaru. "Sakkon-Tesso! (Iron Reaver Soul Stealer)"
Sesshomaru's chest plate repelled InuYasha's claws. He grabbed his brother by the wrist. He locked eyes with him and gave his an intimidating glare. "I said leave!" he snarled as he tightened his grip on his wrist. InuYasha cried out in pain as Sesshomaru's poison claws took effect on his body. He finally dropped him on the floor.
InuYasha didn't have the heart to kill his older brother who had always been there for him until now. Anger boiled within his body. He gave one last glare to his brother. "I hate you, you bastard!" the hanyou yelled. InuYasha then jumped out of the window in his room. After he landed, he ran to the only place he knew of-The Forest of No Return. It was where he first met Kagome. She was being attacked by demons. Everyone said that the demons in the forest would kill anyone that ventured in there. That's what almost happened to Kagome. She and Sango were running from Satoshi. He was yelling at them for his own fun. What InuYasha didn't know was that someone else he knew was in danger as well.
