InuYasha found it hard to fall asleep that night. Kagome just kept on strolling into his thoughts, or rather, Kagome was his toughts. He kept on thinking about her adorable smile, or her perfect hair, or how very pretty she was. He thought about how she accepted him when nobody else did. None of the other kids in the asylum ever talked to him, or even glanced at him. He heard them call him names behind his back when they thought that he wasn't listening. But Kagome was different. He felt it...then another thought strolled into his mind, maybe Kagome didn't realise by looking at him that he was half demon...maybe she had no idea that he was a freak of nature, maybe she was just like everyone else.

Kagome could hardly fall asleep. She kept on thinking about that adorable boy that she saw when she was outside the asylum. He was pretty cute. She felt herself melting into his amber colored eyes and was drawn to his cute little puppy ears on the top of his head, but there were bits of him that scared her. Like his fangs on either side of his mouth. She could just see them ripping into her neck like a vampire's, and the claws on the tips of his fingers were frightening. She could picture him ripping her flesh apart with them, blood flying, but somehow she felt that she could trust the kid. She just felt that he qouldn't do anything to harm her. She didn't know why, but she trusted him with her life.

Sesshomaru rolled over in bed. He was nervous. Tomorrow was his wedding and he couldn't shake off his nerves for even five minutes. He felt like something was missing, something that should be there...or someone. He rolled back over and flick the light switch. He reached underneath his night table and got out his photo album and started flicking through the pages, then he stopped. He sat staring at the picture of his at 10 years old, holding his new baby brother, InuYasha. He stared at this picture for a long time and then changed the page. The next page was when InuYasha had first learned to walk. Sesshomaru was in the background clapping for his baby brother. Again for a while he just stared, then changed the page. The next picture was of one of his many memories of InuYasha at 3 years old, standing on top of the counter and holding his destination, the cookie jar.
Sesshomaru sighed. He missed having InuYasha around. He missed having a little brother. It wasn't the first time that he had missed having InuYasha around either. Almost every night he would think about going to get him from the asylum and he had tried it once but they wouldn't let him go, not even for a moment. He clenched his fist. His heart acxhed to see his little brother even just once more. No. Once wouldn't satisfy his hunger for family. He needed to see him, needed to hold him and protect him for ever. For the next 1000 years of his life.
Again he reached under the night stand and retrieved a piece of paper. On the piece of paper was the phone number for the asylum. He called to see if he could even talk to InuYasha, even for five minutes. That was all he asked, five minutes. He put the paper on the table. He decided that in the morning he would try the asylum again and if they didn't let him speak with his brother, he would use force. After he came to this conclusion he slept soundly for the rest of the night.

"Hello. Mr. Toyokotsu's office" the phone had been ringing off the hook all morning for the past 10 years and every time it was the same man, this Sesshomaru fellow. "I told you for the last time NO you may not speak to InuYasha! He has no clue who you are!" Mr. Toyokotsu said through the phone. The reply came quickly. "And who's fault is that?" Sesshomaru said coldly. "Fine! You win! Come and see him!" Mr. Toyokotsu said as he hung up the phone.
A split second later, Seshomaru was standing in front of his desk. "Where is he Toyokotsu?" Sesshomaru asked coldly, not willing to take any crap from Mr. Toyokotsu. "Right this way" he answered, leading Sesshomaru up to InuYasha's bedroom where he had been locked all morning. Mr. Toyokotsu opened the door to for Sesshomaru, pushing his keys through the key whole and taking them out again quietly only to see InuYasha sititng on the flor drawing his deranged pictures again using only black markers again...but there was a difference, maybe a turn for the better, the sun was colored grey.
"InuYasha, you have a visitor" Mr. Toyokotsu anounced. leaving the room quickly, locking the door behind him.
"InuYasha, you may not remember me but-" Sesshomaru was cut off by InuYasha's quiet, creepy sounding voice. "I remeber you. You're Sesshomaru" InuYasha said. Sesshomaru just looked shocked. "You are Sesshomaru...aren't you?" InuYasha asked him a bit nervously. Sesshomaru smiled, overcoming the shock that InuYasha actually remembered him from 7 years ago, when he was so young. "Hai. I am. I'm surprised that you remember me after such a long time. How are you?" Sesshomaru asked him. InuYasha just glared for a few moments before going back to his drawing and coloring in mostly all grey now, which was a good sign.
"You've grown quite a bit from the last time I've seen you" Sesshomaru stated, quite obviously. "I came to ask you a serious question" Sesshomaru told InuYasha, who looked up towards Sesshomaru with hopeful eyes. 'Will he take me out of here?' InuYasha thought. "Will you come to see my wedding?" Sesshomaru asked. "And afterwards we'll go out and have some real fun, i'll introduce you to your new sister in law and we'll see how things go" Sesshomaru said. InuYasha had a hopeful look in his eyes. "Do you really meen it?" he asked. "You'll take me away from here?" InuYasha said full of joy. "Hai" Sesshomaru said to him.
"Hai. I'll go see your wedding...aniki" InuYasha said, adding the aniki at the end with great pride. "Oh Inu-TouTou it's been far too long" Sesshomaru said, pulling his little brother into a big hug and then letting go. "I'll be back here at 7:00pm to pick you up for the wedding" Sesshomaru said happily. "And I brought you some new clothes in case you didn't like me" Sesshomaru said, stating that he was going to make him like him one way or another and passing InuYasha the clothes. It was a long, baggy red shirt and baggier black jeans with black and white sneakers to go with it. "Thank you oni-chan" InuYasha said hugging his older brother.
"Could you put this on the dresser for me?" InuYasha asked, handing Sesshomaru the picture that he had just finished drawing. It was full of grey people, dead people, covered in black blood oozing from their open wounds. "Of course" Sesshomaru said. He wondered why on earth a 10 year old boy would draw these things, surely he be ok with not having parents by now, he thought. Sesshomaru had no idea how much his baby brother had seen that fatal night his parents had died and he had no idea how much pain he had been going through for the past 7 years either.

"Mr. Toyokotsu. I have to tell you something" InuYasha said to the man. "What is it InuYasha and make it quick!" he answered. "My brother asked me to go to his wedding today and I said yes. He's coming to pick me up at 7:00 tonight." InuYasha said to Mr. Toyokotsu bravely. He knew that he wasn't going to take this well...not well at all. "And you made this decision on your own?" Mr Toyokotsu said rounding on him. InuYasha nodded, fear filling his insides and making them icy cold. "Without Confronting me about it first?" he continued to walk up to InuYasha and then stuck out his hands and pushed him down. Then he just lost control. "YOU ASK BEFORE YOU DO THESE THINGS! YOU LITTLE BASTURD" he yelled all the while kicking, punching and clawing at any part of InuYasha that he could reach while in his time of rage.
InuYasha thought that he was going to be paralysed for life. The rage of Mr Toyokotsu was stronger then usual. He felt his boot digging into his stomach and his nails rip down his cheek. He felt his fist get his lip and tasted blood. This went on for quite a while until InuYasha got his wits about him and tried, not for the first time to use his youkai powers. He remembered being told to say something before, he overheard it being said between two of the other youkais that went to the asylum. Once he had made up the perfect saying and he had actually used his youkai powers...what was it thought? He remembered right as he felt Mr Toyokotsu's foot jab into his gut again.
"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" heyelled, and Mr Toyokotsu imediatly stopped, clutching his bleeding face. For a moment he took his hands away and InuYasha glanced at the damage that he had imposed. Mr Toyokotsu's eye was hanging out of it's socket and the blood was rushing down his face. He let out a scream and imediatly the staff at the asylum came running into the room to see what looked like the attack of InuYasha. "Marie you lock him in and Get Mr Toyokotsu out of here. I'm calling the police" Matilda, one of the staff said as she ran from the room towards her office. Before InuYasha could defend himself they were both gone and he was left alone, a pro criminal.
He sat in the middle of his room on the floor to cry. After about 2 minutes he heard something bang against his window. His ears perked up and he was alert, watching the window to see if it would bang up against it again, and it did. The rock went flying onto the window and then off of it again. InuYasha walked over towards the window and looked down, it was Kagome. He opened the window and stuck his head out. "What?" he asked her, quite rudely. "I wanted to know if you wanted to come out and play" Kagome said. "Kagome I have to talk to you" InuYasha said to her and he jumped out of the window and down to the sidewalk where Kagome was standing, landing right in front of her.
Kagome stood there in awe looking at InuYasha. "That didn't hurt?" she asked him a little awkwardly. "No" InuYasha said to her. "But something happened...They're calling the police" he said to her, fear noticable from the expression on his face. "What? Who's calling the police and who's in trouble?...and why?" she asked him. "Kagome...Matilda's calling the police on me because...I hurt Mr Toyokotsu" said InuYasha. Kagome was taking in this information and then she noticed the blood and cuts and bruises on him, everywhere. "Looks like you got pretty beat up to" Kagome said, touching his shoulder, she was not surprised at his flinch as he jumped away.
"Now tell me everything that happened, from the start" Kagome said. "I just did" InuYasha told her flatly. "No. I know what's happening. It's clear from all of your wounds. Mr. Toyokotsu was beating you and you dought back" Kagome said. InuYasha just looked at his feet. "Kagome i'm scared...They're calling the police. I have no witnesses" InuYasha said to her. "What do I do?" He asked, sitting on the curb, burrying his face in his hands and letting out a sob. "I'll be your witness" Kagome said. "I didn't see it but I believe you and...and your wounds should be enough proof" she said to him. Then they heard sirens and the police ran out of the car and towards InuYasha just as Sesshomaru drove into the driveway and began to walk towards the distrubance as well.
The police grabbed hold of InuYasha and put his arms behind his back as they walked him tot he car. InuYasha desperately tried to get away, he kicked at the police and he screamed, he cried but he was just not ready to spend his life in prison. No way he was ready to do that. "NO" he screamed, kicking the polices legs as they lifted him into the air. "Let him explain" Kagome yelled at the cops as they walked by her, shoving her into the ditch. "I SAID LET HIM EXPLAIN" she screamed. Sesshomaru saw her and put his hand in front of her. "Stop. Tell me what happened and i'll handle this, they won't listen to you" Sesshomaru said to her.
"SESSHOMARU" InuYasha screamed, tears flooding his face, he stuck his arm out, trying to reach through the incredible distance and grab Sesshomaru's hand. "SESSHOMARU HELP ME" he screamed again, still kicking the police and crying his eyes dry. Suddenly Sesshomaru stopped talking to Kagome and looked straight at the police. "Put the boy down" Sesshomaru said coldly to the cops, with a warning look inhis eyes. The cops just stared and then continued with InuYasha. "I said put him down. I know what happened." he said. "Then do share with us because it seems that you must have a different story then we do" the police said, putting the hysterical hanyou into the back seat of the police car.
"He was defending himself again Mr. Toyokotsu who was beating him" Sesshomaru said to the police. "I'm sorry Mr. but our story is just more believable because we've known that Mr Toyokotsu has run this place for years and we believe that the boy is crazy and went berserk on Mr Toyokotsu" said the cops. "But how many times has Mr. Toyokotsu been injured by his supposedly crazy students?" Sesshomaru said, slightly raising his voice. "True...We'll look into the case...but the boys coming with us" and they drove away with InuYasha in the back seat crying, feeling alone in the world, and driving away from his angry older brother once again...exactly like 7 years before...
