Chapter 3
Disclaimer: the characters of InuYasha do not belong to me, but the Characters Akimaru and Ryuji are my original characters.
"Because, whether we like it or not I am your brother."
Sesshomaru remained silent "Teh, enough of this, we'll just have to settle it the way we always have!" InuYasha growled as he drew the Tetsusaiga from its sheath Sesshomaru calmly drew his Tokijen. And the two began to fight
"So then Sesshomaru let's here it, why do you hate me!"
"Because you and that wretched human mother of yours caused father's disgraceful defeat!" Sesshomaru screamed as he used the dragon strike
"Heh, well at least I'm finally getting some answers out of you…" InuYasha said as he landed gracefully away from the blast.
Myouga and Totosei watched from a safe distance, both shaking their heads at the two brothers
"You'd think they would have learned by now…" Totosei said letting out a sigh
"Yes, if those two intend to save Lady Kagome and Rin they must but their problems aside and work together." Myouga said watching the blue and yellow flashes of light
"Well, our master always knew that they would fight, that's why he gave Sesshomaru the Tensaiga and InuYasha the Tetsusaiga. That way if Sesshomaru and InuYasha were to fight neither would die." Totosei said thoughtfully
Finally the flashes of energy ended with Sesshomaru's dragon strike
InuYasha lay on the ground groaning; Sesshomaru walked up to him and pressed the Tokijen to his throat
"Go on Sesshomaru, do it I dare you." InuYasha said gazing up and his older brother with pain
"Unfortunately little brother, I cannot. My father asked me before he died to look after you…protect you if you needed it." Sesshomaru looked away and removed the Tokijen from InuYasha's throat.
"Protect me? Since when have you ever protected me? You've never been much of a brother Sesshomaru, not even the first time we met."
Flash Back
A young InuYasha ran frightened through the forest chased be a small band of lower class demons. The half demon boy tripped over a root and fell, the demons came closer and InuYasha covered his face with his arm, but the demons were suddenly destroyed. InuYasha looked up behind him and there stood a young, teenage demon, with long silver hair. "W-Who are you?" InuYasha whimpered
"My name is Sesshomaru, InuYasha" Sesshomaru growled as he gazed down on the boy
"How do you know my name?" InuYasha whimpered standing
"Hn. I am your older brother."
"Y-you are?"
"Yes."
"Are you a half demon too?" InuYasha questioned innocently
"Of course not I am a full demon like our father, not a worthless half breed like you!" Sesshomaru growled, causing the child to wince
"Half breed…" InuYasha said sadly
"Do my words hurt you, little brother?"
"Yes they do."
"Hn. Then you are weak; a demon would never allow him self to be hurt by words, you had better get used to humans and demons a like calling you a half breed. From the moment you were born of that human wench you were destined to be alone." Sesshomaru growled as he began to walk away
"Don't call my mother a wench!" InuYasha growled fisting his tiny hands
"What will you do if I continue to call her names? Will you kill me?"
"K-kill you? No I can't…" InuYasha whimpered now confused
"Only the strongest survive in this world, InuYasha. If you are not willing to kill, then be killed." Sesshomaru said as he grabbed the boy by the back of his kimono
InuYasha screamed as he was lifted into the air "Hah you really are weak, defiantly the runt." Sesshomaru said as he stared into his brother's eyes, then to Sesshomaru's surprise InuYasha bit him, with a growl he through the boy against a tree knocking him unconscious.
End Flash Back
"You weren't much of a brother then and you aren't much of one now!" InuYasha growled
"Do you even remember what happened after I threw you against the tree?" Sesshomaru glared.
"After you threw me? Yeah, as I remember I had a concussion for about two weeks after that!" InuYasha touched his head as though he was remembering the pain
"Of course, you were born ignorant and you remain ignorant, didn't you ever wonder how you got back to you mother's home after I knocked you unconscious?" Sesshomaru growled now very annoyed at being forced to tell InuYasha the truth.
"No actually I never wondered."
"Well I brought you back. And did you ever wonder how you managed to find the way home after being lost for hours, or why demons chasing you would just disappear or why I've never killed you when I've had thousands of opportunities." Sesshomaru growled, InuYasha looked bewildered, for the first time he realized that Sesshomaru had actually always been there when he needed him, and it bothered the hell out of him. His older brother had actually been playing the role of big brother perfectly over the years, always helping him if he desperately needed it, like with Kagome, and looking out for him.
"Well great Sesshomaru, what do you want me to say thank you?"
Sesshomaru just looked at him before turning and walking away. InuYasha groaned as he followed his brother carefully. After a while Sesshomaru glanced back 'He's still following me, what a pest.' He thought
"A bit late to be acting like a lost puppy isn't it, InuYasha?" He growled
"Shut up, we just happen to be after the same thing." InuYasha said looking down
Sesshomaru grunted in response and returned his gaze to up ahead.
Myouga and Totosei watched from the sky
"Amazing, they actually seem to be getting along." Totosei said with bewilderment
"Ah, yes love is a very powerful weapon, it has forced the two aggressive brothers to make a small peace amongst each other." Myouga said with slight amazement
Kagome slept, but Rin sat by the blocked off window thinking of Sesshomaru, hoping that he would come soon. The door suddenly opened and Ryuji walked in wearing only a pair of black pants "Well, good evening ladies." He chuckled, Kagome had woken up and was glaring at him "I hope that you are enjoying my hospitality." He said extending a hand "Why are you keeping us here? Let us go, we've done nothing to you!" Rin yelled standing. Ryuji came closer to the brave sixteen year old, "Be careful Rin, I am not a very good person when I am irritated."
"You're not a good person any ways, what difference does it make." Rin said staring intently up at him; he suddenly grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to piss off a dragon? Oh that's right your mother was killed by a bunch of wolves wasn't she, well then didn't Sesshomaru teach you anything of value?" he laughed at the momentary pain in Rin's eyes at the mention of her mother,
"You know you are quite pretty, if I didn't have Akimaru I would probably enjoy playing with you…" He caressed her cheek as he spoke, then leaned to her ear and whispered
"I can tell you're a virgin, I can smell the innocence. Saving yourself for Sesshomaru are we? Too bad I'm not single, I would so enjoy stealing your sweet innocence away, painfully." He chuckled
She struggled but he grabbed her chin and made her look at him, she was blushing and glaring at him.
"Let her go!" Kagome yelled as she threw a pot at his head, he dropped Rin and in a flash grabbed Kagome by the neck "Kagome, you should not be so rash I could cause such pain to you and the abomination growing in your disgusting human body." He growled slightly digging his claws into her stomach, she let out a little scream and began to cry, "You're lucky Akimaru is so intent on protecting you, because if it were not for her request I would have killed the child in you're body by now, but I still need the two of you so try not to get on my bad side, Ohya-shuminasai" he grunted dropping Kagome and leaving the room, Rin rushed to Kagome's side and the two of them looked toward the door puzzled.
"Why are you still following me, Mutt!" Sesshomaru growled as he dashed across the rocks, "I told you, I need to get Kagome back, and you're trying to get Rin back so.."
"So you are following me." Sesshomaru finished InuYasha's sentence annoyed, he stopped when he heard InuYasha stomach growl, "Why'd you stop? You wanna fight or something?" InuYasha questioned
"No, fool, I can hear your stomach from here. You are in need of food." He said his eyes closed
"Oh, yeah well I figured that you wouldn't stop so…"
"Enough, we'll rest for the night and you can feed that human hunger of yours." Sesshomaru growled sitting down
"You make it sound as though I eat humans. Hey Sesshomaru, don't you ever get hungry?"
" No. Now go find some food." Sesshomaru said with finality as InuYasha jumped off, but not before glaring and sticking out his tongue at his older brother. 'hn. Ridiculous, why do I have to waste my time traveling with such an imbecile.' He thought closing his eyes,
After a little while a big chunk of slightly cooked meat wrapped in a leaf was dropped in front of him. He looked up and saw InuYasha with a big piece of meat in his mouth
"What is this?"
"Meat, what do ya think it is." InuYasha growled
"I thought I told you that I don't get hungry,"
"Yeah right…" and without saying anything more the half demon walked to the other side of a large rock.
Sesshomaru stared down at the meat, let out a little growl then began to eat it. On the other side of the rock InuYasha smiled 'Think of the meat as a thank you for looking after me, Sesshomaru.' He thought as he looked to the stars.
