I greatly doubt anyone still reads this but for some reason I wanted to update. I had to read the whole story again to remember what had happened. In case anyone forgot (those who still read) Sesshomaru has a pretty moon necklace from Inuyasha, the two brothers are 'engaged', and Inu no Taisho won't let them run away together. That's the gist. Oh yea, and a random friend of Inuyasha pops up to give him advice. Yea, so it's been a while but I hope at least one person still reads this.

"You're not going anywhere." Inu no Taisho said. Inuyasha held his brother tightly in his arms. There was no way he would let him go again. Why couldn't their father see that nothing would stop them from loving each other? Was it so hard to accept? Was it that difficult? Inuyasha clutched Sesshomaru even tighter. They both stared at their father. What could they do against someone as strong as him?

"Please, let them be!"

Who was that? Inuyasha looked past his father to see his beautiful mother come running from the house. She grabbed her husband by the shoulder and shook him. "Look at them!" she cried. "Stop thinking about yourself and look at them! Look at their determination! Look at their love! No matter what we try to do they will always find their way back to each other. They will never stop loving each other. We can't change that."

Inu no Taisho looked at his wife. She was crying again. He hated making her cry. His love for her was nearly unbearable. He looked back at his sons. Did they feel like that? Did they love each other so much they felt like their hearts would explode? How could he deny someone who loved someone almost as much as he loved Izayoi? But these were his sons. They were brothers. How was he supposed to accept the fact his sons were in love? How could he accept that his sons wanted to kiss and one day make love? But he looked into their eyes that were a pathway to their hearts. Izayoi was right. He could do nothing. They would stay together forever.

"Then go." he said to them. "Leave. Go find yourself a cave to hide in for no one will accept you. You are my sons and I love you both very much, but if you want to do this I won't be part of it. I'll be waiting. If you want to return make sure you have a different perspective on what you're doing. Go now." he turned around and started to walk back towards the house. Izayoi nodded to her boys to go on. Then she followed her husband. He would need someone to be with him tonight. That was probably the hardest thing he ever had to do.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looked at each other. They were free. They could do whatever they wanted. They could get married, they could kiss in public, they were no longer held down by their father. Then why did Sesshomaru feel so bad? Why did he want to run to his father and ask him to forgive him? He still loved Inuyasha, but now...he was starting to realize the seriousness of what they were doing. They were brothers. Half brothers maybe, but still brother with the same blood. Maybe, they were the ones in the wrong.

Inuyasha noticed Sesshomaru face. It was stricken with guilt. Was Sesshomaru having second thoughts? Inuyasha pulled on his brother's waist as a signal that they should be leaving. He had to get him away from here before he changed his mind.

"Inuyasha, wait." Sesshomaru said.

"Wait for what? We have permission now. We can be happy. We can continue to live as husbands." Inuyasha said.

Sesshomaru just shook his head. "No, we can't. Father is right. Who will accept us? Where would we go?" Sesshomaru let go of his brother and stood a few feet back.

"Don't do this to me, Sesshomaru. I love you. You know I do. I don't care what other people think of us, I just want to be with you! You can't do this to me." Tears started to fall from Inuyasha's eyes as he spoke. Sesshomaru couldn't take the guilt. He was starting to feel sick. He looked at Inuyasha and simply shook his head.

"I'm going back." he said. "You know I love you, but this is a forbidden love. It can never be. We will never be happy if we continue to do this. I love you. I hope one day you will forgive me." Sesshomaru took off the necklace Inuyasha had given him and laid it on the ground. Then he ran back to his father's house. Inuyasha stared at him. He walked over and picked up the necklace. His husband was gone. In fact, he could no longer call him his husband. He was his brother. He was his half brother. Nothing more.

"Father, I'll stay here with you. I won't go with Inuyasha. Please, accept my apology." Sesshomaru bent on one knee in front of his father. Inu no Taisho stared at him. He had come asking for to be forgiven and had done it in a noble way. Admirable. He would make a great Lord of the Western Lands. Inu no Taisho lifted his son's head up and looked at him.

"Do what you think is right." he said simply. Sesshomaru nodded and left for his room.

My writing has gotten a little bit better since the last time I updated. I still love reviews. Maybe someone does read this.
