Chapter Six: Brotherly Love
Short Story 1
It's Christmas Day in the Lord of the Western Land's mansion. He and his wife look down on their two sons, about to open their Christmas presents.
"Inuyasha, you're getting ribbon in my hair!" A very young—and cute—Sesshomaru had his arms in front of his face, covering himself from the flying pieces of wrapping paper that were being shredded by his little brother. Their parents embraced each other, happy that they're spending time with their sons.
Inuyasha, a toddler, finally stops throwing wrapping paper around and finds that the present he was opening up was a small newspaper chew toy. He gasps. "Wow! Just what I always wanted!" He immediately puts it in his mouth and it squeaks. "Cool! It has real action sound effects!"
His father chuckles. "Now it's your turn, my son." He looks at Sesshomaru, handing him a small gift. Sesshomaru easily rips it out with one slash of his nail, and then takes the surprise out.
"Its…its…a toad?" Sesshomaru looks unhappy and confused at his gift. Inside had been a small little imp with brown clothes. He lifted it up by the neck, his hand turning green.
His father laughs. "His name is Jaken. He shall be your new play toy."
Sesshomaru grins, remembering what he had done to the last play toy he had.
Jaken squirms. "Um…heh…could you possibly stop looking at me like that, my lord? And your hand—it's burning me!"
Their mother takes out a last gift from behind the couch. "Here you go. This one is for the both of you."
Inuyasha stops chewing on his chew toy and Sesshomaru throws Jaken somewhere. The boys are now on their knees, ready to lift the medium-white box's lid. "It is a present, from the both of us," said their father, holding his wife even closer.
Inuyasha is hyper. "O boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I wonder what it is! Daddy always gives us good surprises!"
That left Sesshomaru with the unwrapping. He lifted off the lid and looked into the box. As he saw what was inside, he made a face. "What the…"
"Ooo! Let ME see, let ME see!" Inuyasha then stood up to be able to view the inside of the box from the top, gasping with delight, then confusion, at the little critter inside. Its uh…a puppy!"
He took out the small, golden retriever dog and fell back, the dog licking him continuously. Sesshomaru just looked up at his parents. "A dog?"
Dum dum dun!
Sesshomaru stares at the pup, thinking he could be some sort of distant cousin. Inuyasha just played with it, licking it back and barking at it.
"Oh look, they're friends already," said their mother, cheerfully.
"A…dog?" asked Sesshomaru again, still flabbergasted.
His father laughed. "I still have one more little present for you two…" He takes out yet another white box, his wife grinning at it in surprise. She didn't expect that one either.
The lord set down the gift on the floor, and a soft meowing could be heard.
Inuyasha stopped licking the puppy and turned swiftly at the new box. "Wow! I bet I know what it is! Its a-"
"Meow." Sesshomaru had taken out the feline from inside the box, now holding it by the skin over its neck. He lifted his eyebrow.
"A CAT."
Their mother squealed with delight. "Isn't it just adorable?"
Sesshomaru, probably being the only sane one in the room, demanded an explanation for this. He turned to his parents once again, looking at them alarmingly.
"A CAT?"
His parents just nodded approvingly.
"Good. Just what we've always wanted…"

Short Story 2
After a small break from filming, the cast of INUYASHA are sipping coffee, eating snacks, and/or flirting with Kagome.
Koga smirks at her. "You know you want me, baby!"
Never minding Ayame's cold stares, Kagome desperately finds a way to get away from him. "Uh…uh…you know, if Inuyasha finds us here, there'll be a lot of trouble Koga…"
"Humph! I haven't seen that mutt since filming stopped. He's probably somewhere trying to find Kikyo…"
…lalala…
After using a rest room from across the set, Sesshomaru comes out the door and starts to walk to one of the coke machines, when he suddenly hears someone whimpering. Recognizing the whine, he walks over to one of the exits, meeting with Inuyasha, who had a disturbed look on his face.
The hanyou was on all fours, looking up to crew members that just happened to cross by. Every time one did, he would look puppy-eyed at them, whimpering, but none seemed to notice his pleas.
"What are you doing?" Sesshomaru lifts a brow, seeing that his embarrassing brother was in one of his dog-acts again.
Inuyasha looks up at his older sibling with a smile, instantly wagging his furry tale and with his tongue out, panting and barking. Sesshomaru just shrugged. Inuyasha then barked again, now pointing with his nose at the door.
Sesshomaru, still wondering just how he had got the tail, asked, "…You want to go out?"
Inuyasha barked again, still very much happy.
Sesshomaru opened the door, letting the hanyou run out on all fours, obviously searching for a bone to burry or a tree.
Sesshomaru shook his head in disbelief and shut the door behind him, annoyed. 'How embarrassing…'
He walked to one of the coffee stands and, in picking up a cup, took a short glance at the plastic tree in the corner. Intrigued, and after taking it in thought, he then looked around to see if anyone was looking, and then walked over to it.
(ss pie: Ok. So this was just some weird-o thing I came up with. Work with me, ppl!)

Short Story 3
It's another regular day at the INUYASHA studios, and Kagome is trying to per sway Inuyasha into something. "But it's just a little one, Inuyasha," she says, looking at him with big, glistening eyes.
Inuyasha just retorts back. "NO".
Kagome, growing a little impatient, this going on for a few minutes now, slaps him on the head, angrily. "I said, give Sesshomaru a kiss!"
Inuyasha grows a lump on his forehead and, with a vein throbbing as well, sticks his fist out at Kagome. "Try that again, you little wench!"
Kagome just plasters a confident look on her face. She then lifts a brow.
Inuyasha, knowing all too well this look, steps back a little, holding his transparent bag of goodies even tighter, if possible. "But I don't want to, Kagome!"
"Do it!"
"No way!"
"Do it…!"
"I said, no!"
She takes a deep breath and yells, "Sit boy!" and Inuyasha falls face first to the floor, feeling miserable. "I TOLD you!"
Inuyasha mumbles something from under the floor and, although it was barely heard, Kagome just knew it was another insult. "Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!"
Sesshomaru, now intrigued by what his brother had done this time to deserve this, came closer to where the two love birds where. Remaining a safe distant from his future fiancé, he asked, "What is it this time?"
Kagome looks at Sesshomaru, points at him while glaring back at Inuyasha, and yells once again, "Give him a kiss, damn it!"
Now Sesshomaru could have put up with a lot of things, but a kiss—from his brother? He shook his head and started walking away, not even interested in what Kagome was up to.
Inuyasha blurted, "No, no ,no, no!" from under him, and Sesshomaru looked back at him.
"Like I'd want it anyways, you mutt." Seriously, that girl Kagome had weird ways of making them get closer to each other as a family.
That's when Sesshomaru smelled it. He lifted his nose in the air, took a few sniffs, and looked at Inuyasha. "Hey, I want one."
Inuyasha, getting up, took hold of his bag even tighter. "No way! These are mine!"
Kagome put her hands on her hips. "No they aren't! They're for the BOTH of you, so stop being a hog and share!"
"No!"
"Share, Inuyasha!"
"No!"
"I said, SHARE!" She put on her nasty face again, mouthed a 'sit' with her lips and Inuyasha gave in.
He put his claws in the bag and dug out a few chocolates and threw them to Sesshomaru. "There, are you happy!"
Sesshomaru looked down at the Hershey's kisses in his hand. He then burned the silver paper around them with his poison claw and threw them up in the air, catching them all in one mouthful.
Inuyasha pointed a finger at him with disgust. "Hey! You're not even enjoying them!" Sesshomaru just smirked at him, his mouth full of goodies.
Kagome started walking away. "Give it a rest, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru followed behind.
Inuyasha, left all alone now, started to whimper. "But he didn't even enjoy them. I know I would of! That's why I didn't even want to share them in the first place." He looked back into his bag and reached for a lone Hershey's kiss. Staring at it, he made a cute little face and started talking to it in sweet talk. "Who's your daddy? And who's my wittle pumpkin?"
Shippo came by. "Inuyasha, what's going on?"
Inuyasha started running off somewhere, far from Shippo. "Oh no you're not! These are mine, I tell you, mine!"
Shippo just shrugged and walked away. "What a weirdo…"

Short Story 4
Yet another day at the set of INUYASHA…
"Your going down, Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha lifted his sword at his brother, ready for an attack.
Beep beep beep
"After you, mutt!" Sesshomaru lifted Tokijin up with an easy swipe, and started darting across the field towards him.
Bloop bloop Bleep
"Ha! You can't defeat me, big brother! I'm invincible with the Windscar!"
Boing Beep beep
"Not when I have my Tokijin!" Sesshomaru slashed again at Inuyasha and, finding him still darting away from his attack, was able to rip a whole through his stomach with his poison claw.
Beep beep bloop
"No! This…can't… be…happening! Argh!"
Bloop beep beep bloop bloop beep
Kagome was nearby looking for the two because they were about to go on stage for filming. Not soon enough she heard crashes, the malignant laugh of Sesshomaru, and the pained whine of Inuyasha, all from behind a room. 'Oh no! They're fighting again!"
She hurriedly opened the door, afraid of what to expect. "No, Inuyasha!" She stretched out her arm. "No Sesshomaru! Don't kill him! No!"
bloop
"You…defeated me this time, Sesshomaru. But I swear…next time you won't be so lucky…" Inuyasha's voice drifted away, right before he fell dead on the ground.
Bloopbleep.
Sesshomaru smirked at his lying body.
Kagome, now looking at the two, blinked twice and stared at them, speechless.
There they were, sitting on the floor in front of a huge, flashing home theater screen, with controllers in their hands. They looked away from the screen, surprised from her dramatic entrance. She had been panting, but as soon as she darted her sight from the t.v. and then towards the puzzled look of the guys for a few times now, made a pissed-off face.
" YOU MEAN YOU GUYS WERE PLAYING 'FEUDAL ERA COMBAT' ALL THIS TIME?"
The guys jumped back, for they always knew that they should fear a mad woman.
Inuyasha was the first to speak. After all, she was his 'woman' and after receiving pokes from Sesshomaru, he knew he was their only hope.
"K-kagome, we were just-"
"Sit boy! Sit, sit ,sit, SIT BOY!"
With a yelp, Inuyasha fell flat on the floor.
Sesshomaru sweat dropped, thinking that no 'finish him' tactic of any Mortal Kombat game would ever be more affective on the hanyou than one of Kagome's 'sit' commands. He got up from the floor, slowly.
Kagome, still pissed off, pointed a finger at him and yelled, "Oh no you don't!"
Sesshomaru, still at a safe distance and feeling a little daring, asked back, "What are you going to do? You know you can't do with me what you do to Inuyasha." Feeling a little more daring and trying to scare her off, a slight smirk appeared on the right corner of his lips.
Kagome, smirking even wider and frightening Sesshomaru in doing this, cried out, "Oh Ailee…"
A fears shocked expression filled Sesshomaru's face and he quickly put his hands in the air in front of him, signaling 'no' while shaking his head.
Ailee heard her girlfriend's call and poked her head through the door, not four seconds later. In a sweet, innocent voice she asked, "Did you call me, Kagome?"
Sesshomaru froze to death right then and there.
Inuyasha, still half-conscious on the floor, managed to point out, "Hehe, your bust-ed! I'd rather be 'sit' by Kagome than deal with that girl."
Kagome put her hands on her hips and yelled another 'Sit' to finally shut him up. Inuyasha fell deeper into his hole and groaned again.
Ailee stared at everyone, still not getting why she was called upon.
Sesshomaru, hoping no one would notice his 5'8'' stature while escaping, sneaked out the door.
Ailee caught him by his fluffy. Nothing could get passed her. Especially when it was something related to Sesshomaru. "Hey. Don't you still have my 'Feudal Era Combat' game, Sesshy?"
He sweat dropped just as Kagome told her all about her little 'trouble' with the guys.
"Oh really?" Ailee let go of the fluffy and turned on her game face as she sat down on the floor and grabbed a controller, patting the floor beside her and inviting Sesshomaru to play. "We'll see about THAT."
Sesshomaru, knowing the game was one of her expertise, looked towards Kagome to see if she could get him out of this. Kagome shook her head and pointed towards Ailee furiously. Surrendering and accepting he'd lose 100 percent of the fights to Ailee, sat down miserably. She could whip anyone's butt using the 'Sesshomaru' character. How embarrassing for him to lose against a human, using his own character….
Inuyasha laughed, his face still down on the floor. "Now you'll get a taste of your own medicine…"
Kagome didn't even turn to look at him and spoke up. "Inuyasha,"
Inuyasha groaned. "No! Wait!"
"Sit boy!"

Ss pie: Well, I pretty much thought these stories sucked but hey, I didn't know how else to make them shorter without leaving stuff out. I guess I haven't much practice with 'short stories'. Still I hope you enjoyed them though…
Review! If it's a 'flamie' thingy, then well, just send it! I really don't mind.
