Disclaimer: How many of you here watch Inu-Yasha? Please say all of you, 'cause other this will be confusing. Now that we've got that cleared up, how many of you remember those funny credit things? You know, the things that "Give Credit" to the people who actually helped with the creation of Inu-Yasha? And it tell you based off the manga by Rumiko …something or other (sorry can only thing of the author of Yu-Gi-Oh right now)? Believe it or not, I'm not in the credits. Because I didn't create Inu-Yasha, and even more shockingly, don't own it. If I did, Sesshomaru would be in it so much more, because clearly he's the best character…
Nothing of Fate
He is nothing. He is not worthy of his heritage, not worthy of that sword. He is nothing to me but an annoyance, one that I will be rid of soon enough. I will not allow such a disgrace to my blood to continue living on in such a manner. Killing demons, protecting humans, loving humans…it is amazing how drops of human blood can convolute such powerful demon blood in such a manner. I will not allow it.
He is so impatient; I can see him grinding his teeth already, just ready to jump at me. I wonder what is holding him back; he's usually so eager to get his face ground into the dirt. He seems to be staring at Jaken…
"Shut up, Jaken," I say coldly.
"Yes, my lord," the second annoyance of my life squeaks, bowing and backing away.
Why does the half-breed continue to stand there? Is he waiting for me to make the first move? What is he thinking about? Has that girl of his told him not to fight me? Is he allowing that pathetic human to control him again? How dare she think she is good enough to control him? Did not that first priestess teach Inuyasha his lesson? He answers to no one but me. His fate is mine, I dictate his actions- not some foolish human girl.
But she is of no consequence; he will realize that soon enough. If he does not, I will show him the error of his thinking.
He will know the truth of lowly humans before he dies at my hand.
Still he had not attacked. I grow weary of this half-way staring contest. If he will not even so much as twitch a little, then I see no reason to stay. There is no reason for me to have to suffer through his presence if he will not give me a fair fight.
"Hey, come back here!" he shouts at me.
"I will not fight you, Inuyasha, if you do not consider me worthy of your attention," I say coolly to him. That seems to surprise him a little.
But he is an idiotic half breed. An idiotic half breed that should die.
He will die.
Because he has to die.
He is a disgrace…
A disgrace that plagues my thoughts. Always, I seem to be thinking of him. He will die and I will be rid of him forever.
Those words should not…pain…me. His fate was sealed the moment he was born. It is not strictly his fault, but father is dead, his mother is dead, and he is all that is left of that disgusting union that I was suppose to support. So he will pay for all of their sins, their and his own. It has always been so.
Except back then. But I do not believe in reminiscing about a past that is long since over. And he is no longer the little hanyou he was then. And I do not care for this broken shell that Kikyo left behind and that new girl tried in vain to piece together.
He will not come to me.
He will never be whole.
And he will die. Perhaps not today, but-
No, he's decided to attack. All right then, little brother. We will play this your way.
For now.
But soon enough you will realize that your destiny is mine to write. Once you realize this, things will go much smoother.
You will leave those so called friends of yours and find your place beside me. Whether that means you are dead or alive…you will understand soon enough, Inuyasha.
Soon, my brother, things will be right.
Author Notes: So this one was the same scene from Sesshomaru's POV…poor guy, he's very confused, although he won't admit it to himself. I forgot how much I hate writing in present tense though…I think I might have been a mistake on my part to write the first chapter that way, because then this one had to be written that way…how do I fix this without ruining the story…-sighs- oh well…Ok, this was the end of this fic. No, don't freak out. This is NOT the end of the story. But like I said last chapter, this is just sort of the prequel to the actual story, the lead up pre-slash bit. If anyone is still interested, next week the first chapter of the main story will be posted. It should be called something like "Nothing Emphasized" and that will be the actually Inuyasha/Sesshomaru fic in which they get together and a plot line of sorts develops. So I hope you all enjoyed this chapter at least a little bit, and thank you for all the reviews last chapter! And don't forget to review this one! After all, reviews feed and authors sole and keep her motivated! Remo
DaKeeyChain: Don't worry, just one week and the full story will begin! Lots of Jaken bopping will abound and Sesshomaru will be absolutely everywhere! Never fear! Unless of course you don't actually care anymore…that happens sometimes –sigh-
Lil Devil: Thanks, it was rather spur of the moment, I was afraid it might suck
Kitty McGonagall: Hey, didn't you review a couple of my Harry Potter fics? And I have to say I'm kind of honored that this is the first Inuyasha fic you've read…though soon as you read another one my will seem absolutely horrendous…but hey, I'm glad ya liked it. Dunno about this chapter though –frowns a little- it really not as good.
Blahsblah2001: hehe, length is always an issue, but I say power to the short chapter! Glad ya liked it
Uzamaki Liliana: Nothing like a death threat to motivate you onward…but I liked your idea about this being Sesshomaru's POV, so here it is. Yes, it a was crap. But we'll over look that. Now you have to read the story I'll post up next week! Romance will abound…odd romance, but hey, its Inu/Sess, so it can hardly be helped…now can I plead for my life? –grins-
Again thanks for all the reviews!
