Remember, Inu-yasha doesn't belong to me.
Enjoy you guys.
Chapter 2: Sibling Rivalry"Now that's not a nice way to greet your big brother Inu-yasha."
"I don't know why the day just went sour since your ugly face came around Sesshomaru!" Inu-yasha retorted.
Sango clutched her boomerang tightly, angrily snarling with disgust.
"Hold up Sango," Miroku suggested. "Let's just see what he wants first shall we."
"Hmmph, what he wants?!" Inu-yasha grumbled. "I thought that'd be obvious to you by now Miroku!"
Inu-yasha tightened his grip on Tetsusaiga and braced himself for Sesshomaru's first attack.
Sesshomaru looked at his brother pitifully while charging towards him with his poisonous claws.
"Swish… thwack!"
"Thwick thwick thwack!"
With every swing of his Tetsusaiga, Inu-yasha was able to defend himself against Sesshomaru's fierce persistent attacks.
"Sankon Tetsusou!!"
Sesshomaru was caught off-guard by the abrupt change of his brother's battle stance. He fell back against an old willow tree surveying the slice across his armor.
"Heh heh heh!" Never suits you well to let your guard down big brother! "Haaaaaaaa…!"
Inu-yasha charged towards Sesshomaru once again with the powered up Tetsusaiga. However, his brother's swiftness and great speed gave him far more advantage than he expected. He was able to avoid all Inu-yasha's attempts to increase the dent in his armor.
"I see you still haven't grasped the full power of the Tetsusaiga little brother. More reason why that sword should be mine!"
"Over my dead body!" Inu-yasha cursed swinging the swords sheath angrily towards Sesshomaru's face.
"Fine then! Have it your way!"
With his hands clenched into fists, Sesshomaru swiftly swung for Inu-yasha's jaw. And although his brother somehow managed to repel each attack, the poisonous residue from each blow eventually blurred his sight.
"Well look at that," Sesshomaru said chuckling. "Seems like Inu-yasha is barely putting up a fight. You're making this too easy little brother."
Sesshomaru swayed towards Inu-yasha and whacked him into a huge boulder piercing through the mossy ground. He grabbed him tightly by the throat burning his flesh off within his poisonous clutches.
"How pitiful… you're not even fighting back," Sesshomaru hissed into his ears. "Don't worry, I'll make it quick but I can't guarantee that it'll be painless.
"Damn you Sesshomaru! I will never let you have Tetsusaiga or the shards of the Shikon no Tama!"
"You talk rather tough for someone who's closely facing death!"
Sesshomaru strengthened his grasp around Inu-yasha's neck choking out every last bit of his fading breath. His laughs echoed thoughout the forest as he savored his brother's painful struggles.
"Now die Inu-yasha! Die and be devoured in the depths of hell!"
"Not if I can help it," Miroku intervened. "Let go of Inu-yasha this instant!"
"And what can a weakling human like you possibly have to accomplish?"
Miroku stepped forward bravely, slowly untangling the beads from his right hand. He dropped his staff to the ground and sunk his feet deep into the mud.
"If you don't release Inu-yasha right now, I swear you will be sorry!"
"Mi…ro…ku…don't…don't do it," Inu-yasha managed to choke out.
"Quiet!" Sesshomaru commanded tightening his grip a bit more. "Open that wind tunnel monk and I swear that you'll be the one who's sorry! You're in no position to be making demands right now when I hold all the cards. After all, opening that wind tunnel will only drag Inu-yasha along with me wouldn't it? Are you sure you want to take such a risk?"
Miroku stood there in fear and anger contemplating what he should do next. He grumbled in boiling frustration as Inu-yasha continued to howl in pain.
"Inu-yasha!"
The battle was soon interrupted by Kagome's desperate cries for help. Sesshomaru unconsciously loosened his grip as he watched Kagome slowly being pulled into the forest. He reluctantly threw his brother to the ground fleeing in the same direction as well.
"Looks like you'll live yet another day," he whispered before disappearing amongst the bushes.
"Ka… go… me?"
"I'm sorry Inu-yasha, but Kagome isn't with us," Miroku confessed sadly. "She was taken by Naraku deeper within the forest."
"Hey Miroku, have you seen Shippo?" Sango asked.
"No I haven't. Let's just hope he didn't follow Naraku as well."
"I'm gonna kill that son-of-a…"
Inu-yasha struggled to this feet demanding that they immediately rescue Kagome. However, he soon collapsed to ground again weakened by battle wounds and exhaustion.
"I'm sorry Inu-yasha, but we'll have to find Kagome and Shippo later."
"Yeah, it's Naraku we're talking about," Sango agreed. "And you won't be able to fight him in this condition."
"I don't care," Inu-yasha whispered stubbornly. "Kagome is in serious danger and I have to help h…"
Inu-yasha struggled to finish his sentence before falling into unconsciousness.
