Well, I'm glad Lita Kisune liked my story. Here's some more.
"Sesshomaru's tail was always a big problem for him." Inuyasha said.
(A/N: Remember about that tail. I think it's a boa. Not a tail. But it's always fun to pretend.)
"How come?" Shippo asked.
Inuyasha gave him an odd look. "What do you mean? Isn't it obvious? His tail is so much longer than him so I had to keep reminding him to keep it on his shoulder. That's why he has it like that now."
"Why couldn't he just keep the way it was? Why did he have to put it on his shoulder?" Kagome asked.
"Because if he dragged it on the ground it would get dirty and you can't be dirty if you're a demon lord." Inuyasha told them.
"I see. Of course." Miroku said.
"Yea. But he didn't have to worry about it that one day. The day he first fought by himself." Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha was watching Sesshomaru rest in his bed. He sat down on the edge and turned to face his father.
"Is Sesshomaru ok?" he asked.
"Yes. He's fine. This was the first time he fought without me to help him. He'll be ok." Their father said.
Inuyasha nodded his head and looked at Sesshomaru. He looked so beautiful just lying there. His hair was spread out around his face and his lips were only slightly parted. Inuyasha couldn't keep his heart from racing.
"You keep an eye on Sesshomaru. I'm going to get him a wet cloth." Their father said. He left the room.
Inuyasha kept staring at Sesshomaru. He crawled next to him and lay down. He started stroking his hair.
"I'm sorry I feel this way about you. I don't want to hurt you. I know that if I told you how I felt you would be so sad. And I don't want you to be sad." Inuyasha whispered. He lifted his head to get a better look at the sleeping Sesshomaru.
"I don't want to hurt you. But…. I…." Inuyasha leaned in and kissed Sesshomaru. It was a small kiss at first but then he deepened it. He ran his tongue along Sesshomaru's teeth then started playing with Sesshomaru's own tongue. He started to feel the silk of the blue kimono his brother was wearing. Then he ran his hand through Sesshomaru's hair. That one moment was total bliss.
"Inuyasha."
Inuyasha looked up to see his father standing in the doorway. He looked from Sesshomaru to his father.
"Father. This isn't…. I mean…."
Inu no Taisho ran to Inuyasha and grabbed him by the collar. He flew down the stairs and slammed Inuyasha against the wall. Izayoi jumped up when she saw what was happening but she knew better than get in between them. The only thing she could do was cry as she watched Inu no Taisho hit her little boy.
"You're sick! You disgust me! What kind of animal does something like this? I knew this would happen! I knew it! I saw the way you were always looking at Sesshomaru!" he yelled.
Inuyasha knew better than to try to fight back. He was nowhere near strong enough to beat his dad.
"Do you want Sesshomaru to suffer? Are you trying to drive him into despair? As long as I live I will not let you have your way! You two will always be brothers! We can drain all of your blood and dump it in a deserted lake, but that won't change a thing. You will always be brothers!" Their father yelled as he continued to hit Inuyasha.
"STOP IT!"
Everyone in the room turned to look at the source of the voice. Sesshomaru was slowly making his way down the stairs, his tail dragging along the steps, with a look of shock on his face.
'Did Sesshomaru hear that? Did he hear my deepest secret?' Inuyasha thought.
Sesshomaru hung his head low as he made it to the bottom of the stairs. "Please stop, Father. Because for a long time now…" Sesshomaru lifted his head to show he was smiling.
"I've been in love with him too. I love my little brother more than anyone else in the whole world."
Inu no Taisho ran to Sesshomaru and grabbed his arm. "No! You're wrong, Sesshomaru. What you're feeling isn't love!"
"Stop it." Sesshomaru said trying to take his arm away. He was to weak from his battle before hand to do anything though.
"Inuyasha doesn't love you! He just wants to make fun of you! Humiliate you! Please, Sesshomaru, listen to me! Tell him, Inuyasha! Tell him the truth!"
Inuyasha hesitated. He looked at Sesshomaru.
"It's not true. Is it, Little Brother?" Sesshomaru said in a small voice.
"Of course it is. I mean, come on. Why would I be in love with you of all people?" Inuyasha said harshly.
'I don't want to hurt you, Sesshomaru. And this is the only way to ensure you never suffer.' Inuyasha thought.
"I mean, someone would have to be pretty crazy to go after you. You're just an under developed little kid. You're my older brother, yet people always mistake me for the oldest. Did you honestly think that just because I gave you a little kiss, I loved you? Your so stupid."
'I love only you, Sesshomaru! It's only you! I love only you!'
Inuyasha watched as the tears fell from Sesshomaru's eyes. He leaped up the stairs and ran into his room. Inuyasha couldn't take it. He couldn't believe what he had just done.
"Sesshomaru!" he called and tried to run up the stairs.
"No!" Inu no Taisho jumped in front of him. "Inuyasha, as long as I'm alive I won't let you have your way! Get out of here now and stay away from Sesshomaru!"
Inuyasha suddenly felt himself punch his dad in the face. His father fell to ground, not really out of pain, but more out of shock.
"I won't ever see Sesshomaru again. But I'm only doing it for him, not because you told me too!" Inuyasha ran from the house without so much as a look back. Izayoi fell to the ground in tears over her son and stepson. She listened to the sounds of Sesshomaru crying from his room and cried even harder.
"Why did you say those things?" Kagome asked.
"I thought that was the only way to keep from hurting him. Now I know that wasn't the answer." Inuyasha said sadly.
Miroku felt a tear fall from his face. He quickly wiped it away. "I'm sorry this happened to you, Inuyasha. I had no idea."
"It's ok. But, it only gets worse from here."
Hope you like it. This has to be one of the best chapters I have ever written. Review!
