A/N: Hey! I hope everybody had a good holiday! I thought and thought about this and im deciding whether or not I should just keep writing this story or put it on delay and start it up again next Christmas. If I didn't put in on hold I would maybe have the story finished by end of February, so you wouldn't have to wait, but if I started it up again next Christmas, then I would probably have all the chapters done by then in which I would just post them. So I guess it your choice! But anyways here's the fifth chapter. Enjoy!

Quote of the day: Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home

Fact of the day: Oliver Cromwell, in England banned Christmas Carols between 1649 and 1660. Cromwell thought that Christmas should be a very solemn day so he banned carols and parties. The only celebration was by a sermon and a prayer service.

Disclaimer: Oh for thou art will be hurt, for thou do not own Inuyasha. And thou art the deepest sorrows will thou art become a puddle of intergalatically spacious mud. OH! Glorious mud where art thou? Were the beauty of the smell of shit shall rule upon us and plunge us to darkness! Damn that's hard, no wonder the people went crazy back then. That one line where Sesshomaru sticks his cig into the food and says something (don't wanna give it away) was off the Jesus of suburbia video by greenday so don't sue cause you know, I'm broker than a skunk on crack.

Chapter 5: Soggy Cornflakes

By WintersBlaze

> >

A day had now past since Inuyasha had been let out of the hospital. Kagome was worried so much he was surprised that she didn't take him in as her son.

Work had just ended and he started on his adventure, he was sure he could call it, back to his 'home.' He was sure Sesshomaru would greet him when he got there. Not that it would be a nice greeting, cause if it were there would definitely be some chaos in the night.

Spotting the dirty old trailer, he slowly made his way to it. Hopefully, Sesshomaru would have another whore to keep him entertained. He wasn't in the mood to argue and get beat up tonight. But of course as he found out things never seemed to go his way.

Inuyasha walked threw the door into house, it wreaked of smoke and rotten food. Sesshomaru stood in the kitchen, drunk off his ass, making what looked to be supper, to Inuyasha great displeasure. He walked over to the brown couch and sat down for he knew Sesshomaru would want him to wait.

Footsteps were heard coming out of the kitchen and Sesshomaru came into the room holding a plate, of what looked to Inuyasha to be rice and soggy cornflakes. Great, his all time favorite crappy meal.

Sesshomaru slid the plate to Inuyasha while Inuyasha gave him a hard glare. As Sesshomaru light a cigarette he sat down in the dirty chair by the coffee table. Sesshomaru was a man of great pride; he was a full demon unlike his brother. His eyes were the same piercing gold as the man sitting across from as were his hair color. A blue crescent moon and purple stripes adorned his face. Leaning back he caught his brothers glare. Blowing out a puff of smoke, he spoke with slurred speech.

"Who do you think you are? Jesus nailed the couch, suffering for sins? And I'm the loser?" Sesshomaru blew out another puff of smoke in Inuyasha's face.

Sesshomaru smirked. "Well that makes you the brother of a loser."

Taking his cigarette he leaned over the table and shoved in to Inuyasha's rice that was sitting on his plate. Staring at his plate Inuyasha then gave a disgusted look at Sesshomaru. Smacking the plate, it flew up into the air and splattered food on Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha stood up and glared at him. "Your pathetic."

Inuyasha took a step to walk away, but Sesshomaru caught his sleeve ripping him back onto the couch. Sesshomaru took a swipe at Inuyasha, punching him in nose and successfully breaking it. Inuyasha just sat there and took it, for he knew that if he tried to fight back against a drunk Sesshomaru it wouldn't be pretty.

"Nobody will ever love you, your nothing but filthy scum." Sesshomaru's voice was filled with venom. "Why do you think that girl betrayed you, because your nothing but filthy scum!"

Inuyasha's fists clenched and his body shook with rage as Sesshomaru continued to taunt.

"What was her name again? Oh yes, Kikyo. She was the one who screamed the loudest when I raped her."

Inuyasha suddenly stood up his bangs covering his eyes. His body shook violently. "Shut up, you bastard!"

Sesshomaru smirked and grabbed the knife that had flew off the plate. "Here" He put the knife in Inuyasha's hand "Why don't you do everyone a favor and kill yourself."

Shooting his head back up his eyes had turned a blood red instead of the stunning gold.

Sesshomaru smirked again "Finally I got you mad enou-"

Sesshomaru's talking suddenly ceased when Inuyasha plunged the knife through Sesshomaru's stomach.

"How does it feel, bastard?" Inuyasha spat before darting up the stairs his room.

He was really going to let his anger out on it.

"I can't believe he forgot his jacket, the stupid dope."

Kagome drove her car down the familiar dirty street that she had been on only several days ago.

It had been just after work when Inuyasha left, she noticed he had forgotten his jacket. So, being such a helpful person she looked up his address and drove down there. She could have walked since it was only a little ways but ever since the whole thing with Koga, she'd be damned if she did that. Although she could have phoned, to her disappointed she noticed he didn't even have a phone number.

Turning the corner the dirty white trailer came into view. She was a little ways away when she noticed that someone pulled out of the driveway a little ways away. They pulled out rather fast, as if in a hurry, and sped of down the road. It wasn't Inuyasha's jeep so she guessed it mustn't have been him.

Kagome pulled into the driveway, shut off her car and stepped out. She took a few steps toward the trailer, but then stopped when she heard something. Was that a yell? Nah, she must have been imagining things.

Continuing up to door she knocked on it timidly when she reached it. After not getting a response she knocked harder. Still nothing. There wasn't something wrong was there?

Creaking the door open she peered inside.

"Hello?"

Crash…Bang…Smash

Kagome jumped. What was that? Looking down the hallway where it was coming from, she shut the door behind her and quickly jotted down the hallway.

A dirty plain white door came into Kagome's view. It sat ajar.

Bang…Bang…Smash…

Her heart quickened and a lump formed in her throat, but she swallowed it down forcefully. Quickening her steps toward the noise she brain told her to stop but her heart said otherwise. Stepping up to the door she place her slender hand on the rusty handle. An angry yell ripped out from the door, and quickly retreated her hand from it.

Crash…Boom

Her eyebrows crunched and she placed her hand once more on the handle and swung the door open. Kagome nearly cried out. Posters currently from the walls were ripped off and the mattress was sitting askew against the bed frame. Pieces of paper littered the floor and bits of blood were rubbed across the wall, unknown to where it came from. The dressers had been tipped over spilling the contents that were in them. Feathers floated gently across the room, coming from a pillow that was currently being beaten by the silver-haired boy.

"Inuyasha stop it!" her yelling made her way to the boy and he snapped his head up at her. His blood shot eyes almost glaring holes into her, made her shudder.

"Go away!" He commenced beating the pillow ruthlessly. But Kagome decided she wouldn't allow it.

Marching over she yanked the pillow from Inuyasha's grasp. He turned around and snarled at her but she kept her ground.

"GET OUT!" He bellowed, and threw her out of the room. Kicking the door closed after her and throwing the mattress against it.

Letting out a silent curse she darted down the short hallway and out the back door. The loud bang and yells could continue to be heard from even outside. She came to Inuyasha's window and watched as he continued to destroy the almost already nearly empty room. The window was big enough to let her in, maybe she could open it. A burst of feathers exploded in front of the window, blocking her view.

All of a sudden it went quiet. It scared her. Kagome shoved open the window and crawled in through it. The smell of metallic blood met her nose, as she flew across the room to where the youth was now slumped on the ground. Red blood was flowing from his nose, which was at a crocked angle, hinted at the fact that it was broken. The spaced out look on his face did nothing but stare at the drops of blood that fell from his chin.

Kagome took a cautious step towards him. "Inuyasha…"

No response. Kagome frowned and crouched down in front of him. "Inuyasha…talk to me…"

Inuyasha's shaky arm reached up and wiped his arm across his nose. A long red smear appeared in it's wake.

He continued to stare at the ground with no emotion before a silent tear ran down his face and mixed with his blood.

Before he could stop himself, a chocked sob came out and Kagome wrapped her arms around him to comfort him.

His sobs wracked his frame violently and Kagome could only tightened her hold, while whispering words of comfort. Kagome vowed she would always be there for him. And so she stayed there holding onto the hurt young man, who wasn't more than just another scared little boy.
