Author's Note:Sorry I posted this so late! A lot of you guys guessed it in the last chapter, but yep! Here come's Inuyasha's big debut! Oh, and in case there's any confusion, Sesshomaru is still the eldest (I'll provide back-stories later). Enjoy chapter nine and please review for Inuyasha's sake (It might make him feel better)!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to or affiliated with Inuyasha, however this particular story is M-I-N-E! :)
Property Damage
Today is not my day.
Sesshomaru's ears twitched from the sound of his half brother's bellows. Not only had he to deal with a drunken fool, but now the bane of his existence had made himself present. And Sesshomaru was not in the mood to deal with him.
Unlike Sesshomaru, Inuyasha was a full-blooded youkai, who shared a remarkable resemblance to their father. Jagged blue cheek stripes decorated the sides of his face, and his pointed elf-like ears bespoke of his youkai heritage.
"Get out here Sesshomaru! I know you're in there! Come and fight me you bastard!"
Sesshomaru suppressed a sigh and turned to Kagome to find her looking weary. They exchanged a knowing glance before Sesshomaru resigned himself to his fate.
Stepping out of the hut, he sent a pointed look toward his loathed brother. "What do you want?"
"Hehe, I've been waiting for this Sesshomaru! Your ass is mine!" Inuyasha lunged towards him, claws extended, but Sesshomaru was quicker. One slash of his whip sent his brother flying until he flipped into a crouch.
Maybe using him as my personal punching bag isn't such a bad idea. I can let out as much frustration as I like and he still won't break.
Sesshomaru smirked at that idea. Inuyasha lunged again, but soon found his face connecting with Sesshomaru's knuckles. "Honestly, you are a disgrace to all youkai to be continuously beaten by a hanyou."
"Shut up bastard!" They continued to scuffle, Inuyasha taking the majority of the blows, while Sesshomaru was only nicked a couple of times. The two broke apart as Inuyasha continued to glare golden daggers at him. Suddenly a rock came flying at Inuyasha's face, catching him completely off guard. Sesshomaru turned to find Kagome seething behind him, arm extended.
"What the hell, wench! You wanna die?!" Inuyasha cracked his knuckles and snarled at her.
Sesshomaru had him by the throat before he could blink. "You will refrain from talking in that manner to Kagome," he said, his eyes burning embers.
Inuyasha snickered, "Keh! Don't tell me you've been had by some wench, Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru snarled, his eyes bleeding red, but before he had a chance to pummel his brother into a bloody pulp, the last of Kagome's patience snapped.
"INUYASHA! OSUWARI!"

The ground rumbled and shook from the force of the impact, but by the time the dust cleared, Kagome's anger had been replaced by a budding horror. In what should have been Inuyasha's place lay a very stiff, and very put-out Sesshomaru.
Kagome rushed forward, while Inuyasha sat in front of them with a shocked and dumbfounded expression, before he burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! To be subdued by a mere woman! Ha! That's gotta be the most humiliating thing I've seen, Sesshomaru! Hahaha!"
Kagome glared ice daggers at him. "Inuyasha, shut up!" She turned back towards Sesshomaru and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Sesshomaru, I'm so sorry! It's a really bad habit! Honest! I forgot you had the beads of subjugation." she said, flustered.
Without lifting his head, he replied, "Hnn," then slowly rose to his feet. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and placed a hand on his forehead. "Please refrain from using that command again, Kagome, or I might be forced to gag you during our scuffles."
Kagome gulped and stared at the ground, her cheeks slightly reddening.
Way to go, stupid! Now you've made him even more irritated than he already was! Ooo, I swear Inuyasha, I'm gonna get you for this later!
"Kagome, maybe it would be best if you stayed out of their quarrel," Miroku said from the sidelines. Sango, Kirara, and Koga had already found a nice spot of shade to relax in, while Miroku lounged against a rock, as if there wasn't a care in the world. Kikyou on the other hand, was heading straight for Inuyasha, a bow held firmly in her hand.
WHACK! "Ouch! What'd you do that for?!" Inuyasha cried, a large knot forming on the top of his head.
"You annoying demon! How dare you treat Sesshomaru like that!" Kikyou glared at him and attempted to raise the bow for another strike, but Inuyasha had already yanked it out of her hand.
"Keh! Whatcha gonna do now, woman?" he smirked down at her, and Kikyou's knee quickly came up, and the boy doubled over in anguish.
Ouch! Kikyou's more ruthless than I am. Poor Inuyasha.
Sesshomaru walked over to the hunched form of his brother and crossed his arms. "I believe it would be in your best interest to admit defeat little brother," he said smoothly.
"Keh! You wish, you bastard!" he ground out from gritted teeth.
"Inuyasha-sama! Inuyasha-sama!" a small green imp suddenly burst from the bushes scurrying over to the red-clad demon on the ground.
Wow, Jakken is still around, but now he's working for Inuyasha? That doesn't sound like a fun job. Then again, I think both brothers are secretly sadists.
"Inuyasha-sama! Are you alri—oohh!" Inuyasha's fist hit the small toad's body, and he went spinning off. "Keh! Of course I'm alright, stupid!" Then turning to Sesshomaru, "Fine! I'll leave for today! But don't think this is ove—" WHAM! A large fan hit him full force, and out stepped a very drunk, and very angry Kagura.
"Where the hell do ya think-hiccup-you're goin mutt?!" She marched toward him and roughly grabbed his haori, bringing his face inches from hers. "Haven't ya ever heard of-hiccup-property damage!"
Kagura gave him a wicked grin before continuing. "Now either you clean this-hiccup-mess up or I'll take tha-hiccup-fee outa your hide!" She threw him to the ground and stalked back inside her hut. "GET TO IT YA-hiccup -STUPID MUTT!"
Inuyasha stared after her dumfounded until Myoga jumped on his knee. "What the hell was that about!" he raged. Myoga looked at him calmly before answering, "Lord Inuyasha, that was Lady Kagura, the sword smith who forged your father's fang. I'd suggest you do as she says."
"Like hell I'm gonna—" WHAM!
"What was that-hiccup-mutt-face?!"
Kagome sighed. Even in another world, her friend never learned from his mistakes.
But then again, he wouldn't be Inuyasha if he wasn't reckless, stupid, over-exertive, etc. etc.
Kagome studied her old friend for a moment, noticing the missing ears and very prominent cheek stripes. He now wore a heavy set of black armor with spikes on both shoulders and a large furry belt that trailed down to the ground around his waist, but underneath he still wore the robe of the fire rat.
Show off. But I have to admit, he's a super stud in that outfit! Ugh! Why did I have to fall for an idiot like him?!
Kagome turned to Sesshomaru and asked, "Time to go?"
"Hnn."
"Wait! You guys can't leave me here to clean this by myself! This is your fault too, Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha bellowed.
Without a backwards glance, Sesshomaru replied, "Maybe, but the cause rests with you alone, little brother." And with that, the group continued on their way.
"Bye Inuyasha!" Kagome called back, feeling a little sorry for the boy.
"WAIT! COME BACK!" And Inuyasha's desperate cries faded into the background.
Other Author Note: Ok guys, be honest. Did I abuse poor Inu too much in this chapter? I don't hold anything against him, in fact I love this guy, but I always get a kick out of him getting the crap beat out of him (especially if its Sesshy or Kag doin it)!
