There Was Not Always Hate

Chapter One: Promise

They hate now, and may hate from now to forever. But there wasn't always this hate. They didn't hate each other from the beginning. No, they certainly did not hate as they do now. Presently, they fight, and they want to kill. But they will never kill the other. That is sure. Bound to hate, but they will never kill, for even if their hearts are cursed, their souls are still there and together.

Roughly a hundred years ago, Inuyasha was still young but he grew rapidly, aging quicker than his older brother for he is half human and half demon. Thus, even though Sesshomaru is older by practically a hundred years and more, Inuyasha did not look younger for more than three or four years. (Think a 16 year-old Sesshomaru and a 14 year-old Inuyasha.) And in being so young, their appearance was that of youthful purity and did not seem corruptible as of all young children until they grow up.

Others did not recognize that they were not idle, that they did not hate each other. In public, no one was given the chance to become aware of their closeness, no one knew of what their relationship really was. Yes, they were brothers but neither did they act like brothers even back then. But it was different, different in the past.

On a day, it was a gloomy day, the sky was dark and rain was pouring down on the earth in straight lines. Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were in the library room, Sesshomaru reading a book of histories, and Inuyasha with a scroll of training techniques. They were on different sides of the room, neither one bothering the other. That was until thunder and lightening bellowed to rule the sky. Inuyasha shrieked unexpectedly loud which caused his brother to drop his book and gasp, his heart beating rapidly because of the surprise.

When the older one gained control of his stature, he cried to his brother, looking at the other with spectacle, "Why'd you scream?" He asked this as if it was 'Why'd you jump down a cliff?'

"I got scared," the young hanyou replied without shame in showing a weakness. For in his untainted heart he believed that his brother would protect him. /I wish I was like you.../

"Scared?" the young demon lord questioned. Then he saw that it was indeed true for on the boy's face was an expression of unease and distress. "It's only lightening, and it's only thunder. You shouldn't be afraid of it," advised the youkai. /Do not be, my brother...Never will I let anything happen to you.../

"How do you do it, Big Brother?" the hanyou asked slowly. The half-demon was always aware of how strong his brother was and wanted to become something like that. He wanted to be like his brother. His brother was so perfect.

"It's not something I can teach you," replied the still postured demon on the floor. Just then Inuyasha's face showed a sad depression, his eyes drooped to the ground under him. Sesshomaru saw this and felt a lump in his heart at seeing it. He did not like it. Another roar of thunder broke in the dark sky and Inuyasha jumped, and he shivered in an unexplainable fear. "Come here," Sesshomaru coaxed, feeling the unease and need to secure his younger brother. /Do not fret, Brother.../

And Inuyasha obeyed, standing up and walking to his brother's corner. Kneeling, he looked at the other affectionately. And then without a word, there came a smile on Sesshomaru's face, a smile that can never been seen now. But it was there then, and it was beautiful. And it made the hanyou's heart light and his soul warm. So what he did next was embrace his older brother, smiling happily even though his brother could not see it. Amazingly, the demon lord returned the caress, which only added to the half-demon's bliss, and the thunder was forgotten. "Onii-chan," he sighed in content and continued to stay in that position because he did not want to move, he did not want to sway away from his brother for even an inch. His brother always gave him such an indescribable feeling but it was good and he liked it. "Big Brother?" Inuyasha said suddenly louder to get the youkai's attention. /I love you so much.../

Sesshomaru made a "hm" sounds as an offer for the hanyou to continue.

"May I kiss you?" the young silver-haired boy asked shyly and bluntly. Apparently, the hanyou has been blunt ever since his early years.

A moment of discomposure overcame the unyielding demon lord who was now yielded. "As you like," Sesshomaru replied composed. /Always...Inuyasha.../

As if being struck by lightening, Inuyasha's heart stopped and then sped. Slowly, he moves to look at his beautiful elder brother. And even slower he enclosed the space between them. Compared to their heart beats, their movements were increasingly slow. But finally, their lips met. A mixture of emotions flowed through their bodies at the instant – happiness, relief, excitement, love, and fire. It was like an explosion, only it did not feel disastrous or harmful.

The atmosphere became all the more warmer. Their tongues connected within seconds, feeling the other's hot flesh. And even though they did not moan aloud their bodies shivered and tensed, trying to remain sane. But evidently it failed, and Sesshomaru fell back against the wooden floor. Still continuing as if wild, they unknowingly untangled each other's clothing, hands partly hesitant and partly eager to touch the other's body.

When they needed air, they reluctantly drew away, breathing heavily, trying to gain their breath and stop their racing hearts. But they were eager, and they were aroused, and looking at each other only served to make those feelings more powerful.

Then a smooth hand crept up inside of Inuyasha's hakama, little by little moving up to the neck and over a shoulder. Inuyasha tensed and buckled, his eyes clinging to his brother's touch. Sesshomaru let his younger brother down so he could place his lips upon Inuyasha's neck. This brought out a sigh-moan from the half-demon's lips, his body becoming weak. And he leaned in submissively, his eyes remaining closed to leave all his sense into cherishing his brother's touch. Wantonly, he leaned further, trying to gain more of the pleasure, and Sesshomaru gave. The older brother pleasured the other willingly, shedding the clothes from the younger one's body.

So as the rains fell, noise was covered by noise. Inuyasha ever the noisier one, though; the sounds of pleasure echoing continuously in Sesshomaru's ears. It made the demon lord weak each time his younger brother called to him. There was still so much clatter outside, outside of their own world, but nothing could be heard. They knew nothing but each other, nothing but how much the one in his arms meant to him. They realized once again the love, all renewed and blooming evermore. At that moment, there was seemed to have been everlasting joy, but they did not know that it would not last. Nothing existed for them when they kissed, nothing at all, just the two and love.

When they broke from their long kiss, Inuyasha was eager. Almost without enough air in his lungs he asked, "Onii-chan, you make me feel good every time, I...I want to do that to you too..." /I love you.../

Sesshomaru was almost shocked. It was true that the young demon lord had taken the role of seme every time. He had not thought of anything otherwise, but now that Inuyasha brought it up, he ventured upon it. Inuyasha waited as patiently as he could for his older brother's answer. There was no doubt that Sesshomaru truly trusted his brother, and that he truly did love him. A part of him liked the idea of being his brother's as his brother was his. "Inuyasha, when you are older, I will let you..." was the young lord's reply.

At this Inuyasha didn't pester, he only asked, "Promise?"

"Yes," Sesshomaru answered. /Who else would I promise myself to? Only you...Brother.../

Inuyasha smiles, in a state of bliss because of his brother's pledge to him. /I will wait then...Big Brother...I will wait...impatiently...but I will.../

"Then..." the older one took Inuyasha from his thought. The demon lord half wondered if he should continue. Maybe Inuyasha didn't want to now? And he questioned his brother with a look.

Inuyasha saw this and jumped a little, their crotches hitting in a very arousing contact. "I didn't want Onii-chan to stop though," he declared, and even though he didn't know how to seduce his brother as of yet, it was extremely close to it. /I still want you, Big Brother.../

"That's all you have to say," Sesshomaru assured. /I wonder what you'll be able to do to me when you are older when you can do this to me now./ So then they both began to remove the other's clothing with hands so swift that it felt like a race to see who can undress the other fully first. In the end, Inuyasha won because he was on top of his brother, straddling his brother so that it was harder for Sesshomaru to reach. /You're getting too good at this, Little Brother.../ And when they were both undressed and were fully ready, Sesshomaru reached a hand up to Inuyasha's ears, tickling himself with the fur. "Lead, Inuyasha..." he said. /You can do as you like.../ Inuyasha smiled. Somewhere in the back of Sesshomaru's mind, he wondered if he was spoiling his brother with this. But then he realized that there was nothing he wouldn't do for the younger one on top of him. He knew what this was; it was love, of course.

Wasting no more time, Inuyasha took his brother's hand and sucks on two fingers. Sesshomaru watched intently, again wondering how much crazier he would get when Inuyasha was older and would fully understand what to do because he was already going wild right now. Inuyasha was not only cute but looked still like the most innocent thing sucking on his brother's fingers. Then Sesshomaru felt proud, proud to have Inuyasha as his brother, proud to have him as a lover. /Little Brother, that promise...I can't wait.../

When Inuyasha let go of his brother, Sesshomaru's forefinger and middle finger is thoroughly coated with saliva. He knew what to do next. Bringing his fingers to Inuyasha's bottom, the young demon lord carefully inserted a finger. Even though he knew his brother was eager and he too was on the verge of a thousand throbs he would not want to hurt his little brother. He swore to never do that then, but if only he knew that things would turn out so differently.

"Oh!" came a short gasp from the hanyou. Sesshomaru felt his brother's whole body tense, so he did not push further, waiting for the other to relax first. And when he finally did, the youkai continued slowly. Moving his finger steadily, Sesshomaru couldn't contain the moan of his brother's name when Inuyasha contracted on his finger. This proved his need, and it proved that both of them were in desire far too long. "Onii-chan, hurry..." Inuyasha urged, feeling about to burst. Sesshomaru obeyed, placing another finger gently inside his brother and stretching the best he could before the hanyou stops him abruptly, taking Sesshomaru's hand away and roughly positioning himself.

But when Inuyasha took his brother in, it was Sesshomaru who moaned louder because of how unexpected it was. And then he sighed, "Inuyasha..." He can fully feel all of his brother enclosing him, the sensation making him want to come already. But as Sesshomaru waited for his brother to move, the other did not yet, as if content with just having been fully intruded. It was already hard to feel the tight walls but harder when Inuyasha, either purposely or non-purposely, Sesshomaru could not tell, contracts. This made the youkai squirm underneath, using all his strength to not thrust upwards and risk hurting his brother. A hand came upon Sesshomaru's mouth as he bit on his own fingers slightly. "Ah...Inuyasha...don't tease me..." he almost pleaded. There was a split second of regret in the demon lord's mind for letting Inuyasha do as he pleased, but that was gone when the young half-demon began to move. At this Sesshomaru buckled even more, trying harder to resist the greatest temptation there was. God, his brother was the greatest temptation there was! Just thinking about his younger brother made him want to thrust upwards, nevertheless the fact that Inuyasha was currently pleasuring himself with Sesshomaru's cock. "Inuyasha..." Sesshomaru moaned, head shaking on the ground with a hand still covering his mouth.

As if that was the cue, Inuyasha decided to jump, throwing his head back at the pleasure he receives from it. Because he was in control, Inuyasha knew exactly what would feel better unlike when Sesshomaru was on top and he could only plead for his brother to do certain things. He liked this position much, much more, and he told this to his brother once, so ever since Sesshomaru would often let Inuyasha have his way. The younger one acknowledged a lot from this, one being that his brother loved him and two was that if he tried, he could probably convince his brother into a lot of things. But still Inuyasha knew his limits.

"Ah!" the youkai moaned, one hand pounded on the ground as he felt more and more of Inuyasha's smooth and tight flesh being taken from him and then given again, constricting and pressing on him.

"Nnn...Big Brother..." the hanyou returned, enjoying every thrust he made. He liked it the most when he thrust down, taking in all of his brother's cock, filling him, and was not only a sensation of pleasure that hit him but a feeling of completeness.

Softer moans came from Sesshomaru, holding onto his sanity because he was afraid of losing it. /Inuyasha...Inuyasha...Brother...my Brother.../ He was desperately trying to keep himself composed which is the hardest thing to do in circumstances like these.

"Oh! Onii-chan!" came Inuyasha's throaty moan as he came closer and closer to the edge. /Big Brother...Brother...Sesshomaru.../

But when it came, it seemed like all too soon as Inuyasha's liquids poured out across his brother's stomach and chest. And following, Inuyasha's tightness brought Sesshomaru into the end, his own cum filling his brother. "Inuyasha..." he says, almost a sign of appreciation. /I love you.../

The younger brother collapsed on his brother's chest. "Big Brother..." he sighed. Sesshomaru stroked his brother's hair gently.

"Satisfied?" Sesshomaru asked half in a teasing tone. Only to his brother would he be like this. /You half tortured me.../ Then again, the youkai was brought into thinking of how it would feel to fulfill that promise he made.

"Always...as long as I'm with you, Big Brother..." was Inuyasha's reply. /I can never be happier.../

These words brought smiles to both their faces, and the space was enclosed almost immediately as they met for a kiss they promised to always and only share with each other.
