So sorry my bad for making short crappie chapters. Please forgive me! T-T I'm trying my hardest to write longer chaps (and update sooner) but my life is busy! Hopefully though (this time I mean it) I will update more often. Look it's already a new record! It hasn't even been a month since I last updated! Woo! On with the story though.
InuYasha stared dumbfounded at his brother's body and suddenly had the urge to go and see if he was still alive. Call it brotherly instinct. InuYasha moved slightly forward but then stopped as something jumped out of the forest at that moment and knelt down next to Sesshomaru. From behind it looked like…Koga!
InuYasha found his voice and yelled at the figure "H-hey! Get away from him! Back off you stupid wolf!" When the wolf didn't turn around InuYasha yelled at him again" If you don't get you filthy paws off of him I'm gonna-" InuYasha was cut off short by the wolf's deep calm voice "And just who are you to be telling me these things? And apparently you don't care for him else you would have already been here." He said, his back still turned to them. InuYasha saw red and answered him in a voice totally opposite of his "I do care about him cause I'm his brother you bastard! We just came across his body when you showed up. Now who the hell are you!" InuYasha finished panting slightly. Whoever had done this was so gonna pay.
The wolf didn't move. He didn't say anything. He just kept his spot next to Sesshomaru. Finally he turned his eyes slowly to face InuYasha. "I-InuYasha?" His eyes were wide-with shock or horror no one could tell." It-it can't be!" He jumped up and turned towards them to get a better look at InuYasha with his golden orbs.Wait,golden? InuYasha didn't have time to ponder on his eyes.He wanted to know who this wolf was. Now. If he knew who he was before he gave him his name, and apparently he knew Sesshomaru, then who the hell was this guy?
"Who are you?" InuYasha asked, his voice softer from being surprised at the wolf .The wolf's eyes still abnormally large came back to reality, shook his and then said "Me? I'm Shirokiba. You're brother's best friend."
Silence.
"You're…my brother has a best friend!" InuYasha acted like he had never heard something so unbelievable. Shirokiba started to chuckle "Isn't everyone entitled to a friend? By the way you're acting I'd bet my money on it that Sesshomaru has turned back into a prick eh? Well it was all probably for you anyway, InuYasha."
Everyone just stared at him. Kagome was the first to speak "What on earth are you going on about?" it sounded more like it would come from InuYasha but nobody cared seeing how that was exactly how they would've asked as well.
Shirokiba merely chuckled again and said"Things are to complicated to explain here and now. Especially with Sesshomaru like he is. I have a cave up ahead, we take him there and I'll try my best to explain." He smiled at the group and went back to Sesshomaru, picking him up gingerly.

After walking for a bit they did indeed come to a cave and Shirokiba walked into it and laid Sesshomaru down on a fur mat. After tending to the serious wounds on his friend's body, Shirokiba turned to the group and started his story on how he and Sesshomaru became friends and the story of their friendship for as far as it went before one fateful day came.
Ah Finally! The story really begins! Next chapter is going to fill you in on a few things and then the next is going to actually start the memory/story. R&R hope you like it! (and hope it's long enough ')
