Itachi-rin: Hi everyone! I'm gonna write Inuyasha fic for a change after I watched certain episodes where Sesshomaru-sama tried to save Inuyasha from certain demon indirectly but that baka Inuyasha just didn't realise! –breathes in deep- I'll try to answer some questions and reply reviews if possible..
Summary: A child who barely speaks, hated the fact that he have to live under one roof with humans and furthermore, a hanyou. See how Inuyasha have melted the stone heart of his half-brother and how Sesshomaru learn to love his half-brother with the cold attitude of his! Apparently, Sesshomaru is 12 years old while Inuyasha is 6 years old. Yes.. Their age! But it's up to me! XD
Warnings: Maybe OOC-ness and shounen-ai.. or brotherly love. I dunno how this fic will become and I'm going to mention this once in this chapter so if you're uncomfortable with this, then press the button- back.
Disclaimers: Inuyasha does not belonged to me.. neither is Sesshomaru-sama! (Read it CAREFULLY 'cause I'm going to mention this only in this chapter! There's no point to keep repeating if you've started to read this fic! –smiles-)
Ohh.. How I love Sess x Inu this pairing! I love how this 2 little brothers snuggled up together in bed, sleeping peacefully like 2 angels..
Inuyasha: Faster! We want the fic to start!
Sesshomaru: Yea.
Inuyasha: And remember to give Itachi-rin your reviews 'cause it's-
Sesshomaru: -important.
Inuyasha: Hey! You steal my line!
Alright! Here I present you..
Hidden Love
Chapter 1
This wasn't suppose to be.
He didn't care what his father did outside the house. He didn't care if his father had an another relationship right after his mother's death. He didn't even bother to know about the another son his father had with that woman. He didn't care.. until his father had told him all this.
"Son. Are you listening to me?" the cold strong voice snapped him out of his own thoughts.
The strong tone which noted the dominance he had in this house.. this castle. The coldness in his voice was no match against other lords of the land. His father- Inutaishou had really made his stand across the lands where no one would dare to go against him. One word from him could determine your fate in his hands.
Sesshomaru replied with a nod.
Inutaishou folded his arms. "Well. I guess you have to get ready for your mother's and brother's arrival now."
With that, his father took his leave and left his 12 years old son to clench his hands into fists by his side in his bed chamber. His eyes narrowed into silt with his teeth gritted angrily.
Why was there a sudden invitation for that moral to come and live with them? Wasn't it going well after all those 6 years?
She wasn't his mother. Moreover, that son of hers wasn't his brother. He didn't want to be concerned if his father had been seeing them for the past 6 years. But now, his father said mentioned that they were coming back and lived with them from today.
How much he wanted to tell his father not to take in them. He didn't want to live with a stupid human who couldn't even protect herself and a half-youkai who wasn't belong to any of the groups- Human and Youkai.
But he couldn't. He would surely earn a hard slap across one of his cheeks, leaving scratches upon the contact. He knew his father wouldn't listen to a child like him.
Reluctantly, he got changed into a silk white kimono with alittle red color on it. He brushed his long silver hair with his claws for he didn't need a brush, since his hair was in good condition always.
Soon, he opened the door of his bed chamber and walked down the dark corridor. He looked through the window and saw the carriage approaching nearly, supposing his 'new' family was here. He snorted softly.
He continued his pace down the shadowy hallway.
He knew that mortal had replaced his real mother's place inside his father's heart. He didn't like humans at all. He wasn't going to give in easily like his father to a mere human. To even think that the great Lord of the Western Land had taken a mortal as his wife.
Sesshomaru knew his mother was a great youkai and always thought only his mother was compatible with Inutaishou.
He was wondering if things would get better if his mother was still alive.
oioioioio
Sesshomaru had reached his destination, noticing that his father was waiting eagerly in front of the door. Inutaishou gestured the servants to open the door of the castle to welcome his wife and his 6 years old son.
The servants were going in and out of the house, moving their luggage to their respective chambers.
"Oto-san!" The little pup dressed in red kimono, ran and jumped onto their father, "I miss you so much!"
The tall man carried his son in the air and smiled. "I've miss you too."
Another pup, half-youkai was sharing a father with him from today onwards, calling the same Lord of the Western Land- Oto-san.
A flash of hurt came across the golden pair of eyes, watching them showing their father-son affection. His father had never said those words to him ever since the death of his mother. He too, had never seen the smile for all those years. How he wish he would receive the same treatment too.
Suddenly, a unpleasant scent picked up in the air. Sesshomaru watched from aside as a lady wearing a purple-blue dress, stepped into the house. He growled inwardly as he hated the smell of her.. of human.
"Hi dear.." The said lady gave a kiss on his father's, her husband's cheek.
The pup was put down on the ground after he was given a kiss on his forehead as Inutaishou greeted her wife and hugged her back. A pair of golden eyes watched with jealousy and hatred. That woman had stole the place of his real mother and the pup had stolen the attention from his father.. their father.
It was then a blue pair of ocean-like eyes fell upon him made him snapped back to reality away from his mind. "Taishou-dear.. Is he your son?" she asked with a smile on her face as she released herself from her husband's grasp and walked towards the 12 years old inu.
The smell of human really stunk his nose but he didn't dare to move as his father was looking at him sternly, wanting him to be as polite as possible. Thus, he had no choice but to stand there, waiting for the woman to go away as soon as she finished talking to him.
"Hi there." The woman smiled at him, which Sesshomaru found it utterly disgusting, "I'm Yukie.." She wanted to pat the head of her half-son but Sesshomaru slapped it away, making her flinched with hurt and fear for he didn't like humans afterall.
"Sesshomaru!" His father roared loudly as he walked to him, attempting to slap him across his cheek, "How dare you treat your mother like tha-"
"Dear.." Yukie stopped the man from doing anything harsh and rush to the young child, "Please.. Don't do this! He's just a child.."
Inutaishou took her arm and inspected if there was any scratches. "This son of mine doesn't like to speak much after his mother's death."
Yukie shook her head. "Don't worry.. Give him some tim- Sesshomaru? Where are you going?"
Sesshomaru ignored his name being called and before he disappeared down the hallway, he shot a cold glare at the another son of his.. of their father. Furthermore, He didn't want to stay there any longer to tolerate the smell of the human.
The man of the house.. or castle, was about to give a chase and lectured him but a hand on his arm stopped him. He turned and looked at his wife, shaking her head disapprovingly.
"He just can't accept it.. He's too young to understand. Give him time, dear.." Yukie's soft voice of advice had cooled off part of his fuming flame.
He sighed. "All right. I let him off on your account." He smiled, "Let's go for a tour around the house first before we have our lunch.
Yukie laughed softly. "You mean castle?"
In return, Inutaishou gave her a smile as he put his arms around her shoulders. "Come, let's go." And he turned to gesture his younger son, "Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha blinked several times to get out of his dream world for a moment before nodding and followed behind his parents silently.
He had seen the whole picture before he wanted to go up and greet his new brother. He had just saw how friendly his mother was to his brother. He had saw how his brother rejected his mother harshly without a word. Most of all, his brother shot a glare to him.
He didn't like it at all. He wondered why his brother was so fierce earlier. Now that he couldn't ask, he frowned cutely and made a pout.
"Inuyasha?" His mother's voice brought him back from his thoughts, "Something wrong sweetheart?"
Before the hanyou realised, he had stopped walking and his mother called him already. He shook his head and smiled. "Nothing, Okaa-san!" and he continued his pace behind his parents. Again, he was in his deep thoughts again. He mumbled out his thoughts softly.
"Why didn't nii-san talk?"
oioioioio
The solemn golden pair of eyes stared at the ceiling as if there was something interesting up there. He sighed and turned to his side on the large bed, hugging his pillows, hoping to find some comfort.
He hated the humans. They were weaklings and didn't have any strength to even protect themselves, let alone their loved ones.
They feared of everything. They could kill in order to contain their fear. They wouldn't dare to negotiate with demons, thinking that all were cold and ruthless except their race while they themselves were actually the one they described the demons.
The anger inside himself rose as he recalled how his mother died in the hands of the stupid humans and protecting her son- him.
He heard his stomach grumble, calling for food to fill them in. He ignored the grumbling sounds as he didn't plan to eat his meal, for he didn't want to see the human and the half-breed.
He suddenly sniffed out something. Someone was behind his bed chamber's door. Then, there were knockings on the bid wooden oak door.
"Sesshomaru-sama, your lunch is brought as an order from Inutaishou-sama and Yukie-sama." A voice behind the door spoke.
The golden eyes narrowed at the name of that woman's. He didn't want pity from her. He wanted to show her how strong he was even without the food she had given to him.
He turned to another of the bed, back facing the door as if the servant could see his action of denying the food.
But the servant spoke again due to the silence given. "But Sesshomaru-sama, Yukie-sama had speci-"
"Go. Away." He hissed his words loudly, not knowing that he had scared the shit out of the servant because he hated that name of the human.
Obediently, the servant just left without a word with the tray of food, previously planned to give to the prince of this castle.
Everyone in the castle knew that the young prince- Sesshomaru-sama rarely spoke ever since his mother's death. Even if he spoke, it was barely 3 words and it meant that your life was endangered. Rumors around, saying that he had lost his voice due to witnessing the death of his mother.
Sesshomaru bit his lower lip. Tears started to form in his eyes and slide down his cheeks. Even though now humans and demons had come to an agreement to live peacefully together, that didn't change the fact that his mother was killed by them then. His mother couldn't come back to live anymore.
To add on, he didn't want to bother if his father had a wife right after his mother's death. True, his father really loved her and since she was dead, it was also rightful for him to take in another wife as the Lady of the Western Land.
It didn't concern him until when his father had invited them into their house, to live with them. Now that he had to tolerate the nasty human scent and her son. He had to face them every single day.
Sesshomaru started to sob for his mother into his pillow. Many thoughts had been running through his mind since his father had told him about the arrival of his 'new' family. He growled angrily like no human would imitate.
And before he knew, he slowly fell into a heavy slumber with his grumbling stomach, without his lunch as his breathing was even.
oioioioio
"That son of mine!" Inutaishou was fuming with anger.
"Calm down, dear.." Yukie patted her husband back before turning back to the servant, "Put it on the table. I'm sure he will be hungry later.."
"Yes, Yukie-sama." The servant bowed before taking her leave.
After cooling down, Inutaishou took a deep breath before patting his son at the back of his ear. "Inuyasha, are you full?"
Inuyasha smiled up to him. "Yes!" and with much excitement, "Oto-san! Can I go back to my room now? I won't get lost!"
The man laughed. "Of course, son."
The hanyou nodded enthusiastically before running away, heading for his bed chamber. Inutaishou turned to his wife. "Do you have anywhere to go?"
Yukie gave a small smile. "Well.. I suppose we could go back our room and unpack."
"Leave it to the servants. They will do their job. Let's go to the garden for a walk, shall we?" Her husband suggested.
"Oh well.. I suppose." Yukie gave a last smile before getting up with her husband's help and heading for the garden.
oioioioio
He ran for his life with another hand that clutched tightly to his, leading him to the way of their survival. They hoped to breathe as they wished their legs would accomplish that.
Fire spread like wild and the smoke in the castle made one difficult to breath. Blurry vision in your eyes and you couldn't see properly where you were going.
Shouting and protesting could be heard as they ran down the hallway, filled with flames. Unfortunately, a group of humans blocked their way. Humans who were armed with rifles, bows and arrows.
They were about to turn back but they heard another group of humans, wooden rod with flames on their hands, approaching. They cursed and swear upon them- the demons.
As the flurry humans were coming nearer to them, one of them raised his axe and planning to attack him when his mother flew in front of him, blocking the attack.
"Okaa-san!" His eyes widened as screamed, watching his mother countered the attack by lashing the enemy with her tail but was slashed by other human across her arm.
The poor pup watched helpless as his mother fell in front of him, blood all over the floor. "Sesshomaru.. R-run.." His mother hissed in pain in between her words, "RUN!"
oioioioio
Sesshomaru clutched his bed tightly and squeezed his eyes once more before waking up with a jerk, snapping his eyes open. Fear shown. His sweats were all over the bed and his breathing uneven, panting slightly.
He hated that dream. It reminded him of his helplessness at that time. Young wasn't the reason or excuse to give for not being able to protect his mother from those weak humans.
He clutched his head. Having a headache after that kind of dream wasn't not normal so he wouldn't care much as it would go away soon. He took a deep breath to calm himself down but he sniffed something familiar.
A human scent reached his sensitive nose. It wasn't strong as it also contained youkai scent too. He supposed it was the brat, the son of that stupid and weak human.
He growled in displeasure.
TBC?
oioioioio
