Turtlequeen2: I'm back with another Sesshoumaru poem! Thanks to Hope living in Darkness and misikoblossom for the generous reviews!
Sesshoumaru: Another one?
Turtlequeen2: That's what I just said…This one's about your brother, Inuyasha!
Sesshoumaru: You dare try to read into This Sesshoumaru's mind?
Turtlequeen2: Well, it's more like an opinion on what I think is going on in your head.
Sesshoumaru: Baka, ningen. You cannot begin to fathom I.
Turtlequeen2: sigh Don't we all wish we could? Well anyways, I do not own Sesshoumaru, vbollman does. coughNOTcough Rumiko Takahashi owns Inuyasha. I only own these poems.

Youkai - Demon
Hime - Princess
Miko - Priestess
My Hanyou Brother, Inuyasha
Inuyasha
My hanyou brother
An abomination against both ningen and youkai
One that is beneath I
How I despise his weak human blood
How I hate the fact that we share the same father
How I wish that he never was born
He shames my family's name
Born of a ningen woman
Known as a hime, but not recognized as one by youkai
Father was so foolish as to mate with the ningen
How I looked up to him so
To only see that he chose a ningen over my own mother
A powerful youkai
She loved Father dearly
Father was known far and wide as the most powerful youkai
After mother died, he moved on quickly
To that cursed ningen wench
It seemed as if he cared not for I
But for those weaklings
That hanyou and the ningen mate he had
I was destined to prevail over Father
But then he died
He died protecting those inferior creatures
That weak ningen hime
My pathetic half-breed brother
Inuyasha
A few years after which
That hanyou started out on his own
I guessed well enough that his mother died
I cared not
That hanyou needed to strengthen up
As if following in Father's footsteps,
He was later heard of,
Spending his time with a ningen
A miko no less
The situation amused me greatly
A miko that actually loved my brother's hanyou blood
The fools
Then to find out that he was after the Shikon-no-Tama
It sickened I
How could Father have such a son that desired a jewel
That would give false powers
False strength
The very thought appalled my being
How dare he!
My hanyou brother
Wanting to become stronger
Not by his own means
But from a jewel
Just to be "accepted"
If the Jewel would be the cause of his "full-youkai" blood
Then I still would not recognize him worthy of my time
To make matters worse
He was laid low by a geis
He was pinned to a tree
By the very same miko
His weak ningen blood made him vulnerable
The baka who believed in "love"
Fifty years pass
And he is freed by the miko's reincarnation
At least that is was I heard of
Not that I, Sesshoumaru, cared
To be freed by a ningen wench
She has him under his power
His patience with that woman perplexes I
He is brought down by the lowest of the low
A ningen woman
As worse goes to worse,
He is found to possess, Father's sacred fang
The Tessaiga
It should be mine by birthright
Yet, my hanyou brother gets a sword that he is unfit to wield
It infuriated I
What was Father thinking?
Leaving me with the weak and useless Tenseiga,
While leaving the blade, Tessaiga, to Inuyasha
The inferior hanyou
Though, after possessing Toukijin,
I desired not the power of Father's sword any longer
Inuyasha ultimately used the "Kaze no Kizu"
He still waves it as one would a log
He still is beneath my notice
Although irritating
Annoying
Infuriating
Weak
Part ningen,
He occasionally causes my amusement
His constant interaction with other ningens and lowly youkai
It can be his undoing
Or it may cause his urge to fight
I have learned such when first fighting him over Tessaiga
I amuse myself by getting under his skin
By intimidating him
How easily angered he gets
By the simplest of words of his mother
Or his wench
He begins to kill
To protect
Something that he got from Father
Besides cutting off my left arm,
The only other time that he surprised I
Was when he transformed into his full-blooded form
Only after such
I discovered that he is too weak to be able to handle Father's mighty blood
The blood that sadly runs through his veins
He needs to get stronger
Only then, will be worthy of I
For me to kill him
For me to notice his existence
In all honesty
I do not hate my brother
But I do not like the fact that he is hanyou, neither
He is inferior to I
But as a hanyou
He is stronger than most other lowly youkai
Though I would never admit that
I will await the day when my brother can face I
Honorably and proudly
Until then
I can only strengthen him
I can't kill him just yet
My hanyou brother
Inuyasha
