I decided that I should continue I at least got one review. By the way, I'm not very good at battle scenes, but I'll also try this. Yush, my chapters' lengths very on where I want to end, so some might be extremely long, and some may be short.

Chapter Two: Sesshomaru, Lover or Warrior?

Around 1:00pm, Miroku abruptly exited the spring while Inuyasha was basking in his exhausted sleep. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha." He quickly bore his night blue kimono and went on his way.

The pup awoke around midnight, noticing that yet another lover has left him. "Not again…" He also noticed that he was robed and set on a crafty bamboo bed. Though, the inu wasn't interested in the bed that the monk ha made him, his lust filled eyes were set on his approaching brother. "Inuyasha! Show me how you have grown in battle." The half demon paid close attention to what his brother had said and armed his Tetsusaiga. "Alright then, come at me!" Inuyasha wasn't about to pass up an easy win, even if his hind entrance ached like a full on migraine. 'Grrr… My pain will affect my skills; I just can't let him see my weak spot.' And with that, the demon charged at him with Tokijin. "Die!" Their swords clashed as Sesshomaru spoke. A spark flashed here and there as the recently sharpened fangs created a melodic tone of clanging.

After hours of relentless sound and fury, they fell to their knees. "What say we rest for now?" The pup was able to use his sword as a cane. "Humph… Fine." The demon sheathed Tokijin and began to strut towards the dark heavily wooded forest. "Wait! Where are you going?" Inuyasha had already sat down by the flames. "To make camp, you think I'd stay here with a pathetic half breed?" Those words struck the inu's heart like Kikyo's arrow did. The pup just lied back down and sulked. "Lazy..." The eldest continued into the trees.

'Does he even know how much that hurts? Well, how could he? He's never been called anything insulting. What ever happened to his love? To his warm soul that graced my presence almost every night in my bedroom all those years ago. Could I win him back? Or was our love just a vague hallucination?'


"Why must I dwindle on the past?" Sesshomaru glared into the growing fire with anger and wonder.

Inuyasha fell into a deep sleep next to the fire that Miroku had built. The demon decided to go for a night walk, unknowingly leading himself straight to his younger brother. When he arrived at his brother's camp, Sesshomaru yell unto Inuyasha. "Wake up, half breed!" And yet another string was broken, but the half demon rose anyways. "What the hell is it?"

"Let us dual, now. I must test your true strength; I know you have been holding back."

'He does? Does he also know my stilling aching weak spot? Does he seek the heat that burns for him in my heart? What DOES he want?'
