InuYasha didn't even flinch when the sword was put in front of his lowered head. He only sighed and didn't even make notice of the sword's possessor. Obviously, the sword's possessor was getting annoyed with being gone unnoticed and in an instant put the sword under InuYasha's chin and forced him to raise his head to meet his eyes.
"Sesshomaru…what do ya want?" InuYasha asked in almost a whisper as he stared into his older half-brother's golden eyes. He soon realized that the barrier was designed to let other things in and out, but was also designed to keep him in.
"You know, fool. The Tetsuiga. Where is it?" Sesshomaru growled upon noticing the sword's absence.
"Hell if I know," InuYahsa snapped. "And don't even ask about me being human right now," he retorted, knowing Sesshomaru's next question. He sighed and stared off into the distance, trying to ignore his half-brother.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow when he heard that InuYasha knew not of the Tetsuiga's location followed by a frown. "How do I know you're not lying?" he questioned.
"Cause," InuYasha sniffed. "If I had it I'd probably have killed myself by now," he stated flatly, receiving a strange glance from Sesshomaru.
"Hmm…and why do you smell strongly of Naraku?" he inquired, and InuYasha let out a stifled gasp. Sesshomaru raised and eyebrow again at his half-brother's unusual attitude. "Well?" he asked again, but not really knowing why he kept asking.
InuYasha looked up with fear pooling in his now russet eyes. "Why would you care, anyways?" he choked, trying not to sound weak. This question was followed by a long period of awkward silence with only the autumn wind daring to whisper. "So, are ya gonna kill me or what?" InuYasha asked casually. "If you are, get it over with already. And if you're not, then leave me alone so I can gain energy for later," InuYasha said, staring at the sword detained in Sesshomaru's hand.
"I never expected you to give up so easily, InuYasha." Sesshomaru smirked. "But you shall not die today," he stated. InuYasha looked up at his half-brother in surprise that he wasn't going to kill him. Sesshomaru stared down upon the still sitting human InuYasha with inquisitiveness in his eyes. "Answer me this, you smell strongly of Naraku. Why is that? This time I expect an answer," he growled.
"Like I said, why would you care? And, why aren't you gonna kill me?" InuYasha retorted, trying to ignore the question to keep his mind off of what was to come. Sesshomaru only frowned, wanting to know exactly why his half-brother smelt of Naraku, why he was human, and why he was acting so eccentric.
The sun was beginning to set behind the great mountains that lined the horizon in an endless stretch. InuYasha whimpered silently, not wanting Sesshomaru to perceive sound of his fear. He knew Naraku was coming, he could feel it. Suddenly, Sesshomaru took a fighting stance from a regular standing position, and glared behind InuYasha. InuYasha swallowed hard, not wanting to see what was behind him but looked anyways. He whimpered upon the sight that burned in his eyes, the being he despised with his every fiber.
'This can't get any worse,' InuYasha thought as he stared at Sesshomaru, then to Naraku, and repeated the action. He froze in his place upon being in between two of his worst enemies and swallowed hard. 'How amI gonna get outta this one?'
