Sorry 4 the wait. You know how writers block can be.

The two dog brothers were walking through a dense forest side by side. They had met up what seems like decades ago but still found no trace of Naraku.

Inuyasha's conduction worsened until the point now that when he's not taken over by blood lust he is in a complete daze, totally dependant on his older brother.

Without Sesshomaru there, there would truly be no hope for Inuyasha or any human who happens to cross his path.

And ye, despite the horrific conditions it was brought under, them being together had made Sesshomaru wonder where his hatred for the hanyou had even come from.

Sesshomaru turned to his younger brother; he was staring blankly to the path ahead, as he has been for awhile now.

He turned forward again. Sesshomaru could see sunset slowly approach from the corner of his eye. "How are we possibly going to find Naraku like this, Walking in random directions hoping to find some kind of a lead."

The lord of the Western land let out a sigh. "Let's stop here for the night." He said. Both him and Inuyasha stopped.

The two sat down of the ground, Inuyasha in the middle of the grass while Sesshomaru leaned up against a tree.

"I'll go get wood for a fire." Sesshomaru said noticing the dropping temperature "Stay here." He slowly stood up and walked a little ways into the forest, gathering wood for a campfire.

One thing he hated about Rin and Jaken not being with him is that he had to do all those stupid chores, like getting wood, and water.

But he would never put them in that kind of danger, whenever Inuyasha caught even the smallest whiff of human, the curse took full hold of him and he went on a killing spree.

Sesshomaru came back carrying several large fallen branches in his arms. He laid them out standing up, leaning on each other. He reached his hand into the middle of the pile and snapped his finger, causing it to burs into flames.

Inuyasha's blank golden eyes gleamed in the fire's light. Sesshomaru stood up walking to Inuyasha's side

"I'll get some food." He said remembering that even though he was fine his younger brother might want something to eat.

Inuyasha reached up and grabbed hold of Sesshomaru's komono just as he began to walk away. "I'm fine." He whispered.

Sesshomaru looked down to him, not sure if what he said was the truth or not. Inuyasha let go, whispering "really."

Sesshomaru sat down beside his brother. It had been so long since he had said anything that Sesshomaru almost forgot how his voice sounded.

He really couldn't blame him though; this curse was tearing him apart from the inside out. He had always hated his brother for being the cause of there father's death, but, now that he actually thought about it, how could that have possibly be under his control, he was only a new bourn.

"Where is Naraku?" Inuyasha asked in a low voice, still keeping his eyes fixed on the fire.

Sesshomaru was surprised he spoke yet again and answered his question to the best of his knowledge "I have no idea."

Inuyasha put his head down, depressed. "oh.What…" he started, tears beging to fall from his soulless eyes "What if we can't find him? What… what will happen to me?"

"I just don't know." Sesshomaru answered, deeply regretting this question "Naraku is not one to be found. He will show himself when the time is right."

The two sat silently. The sun had already left the sky, leaving the yellow fire as the only source of light.

"You should get some sleep." Sesshomaru said to his clearly exhausted brother.

"Alright." He answered, laying himself out in the grass and almost instantly falling asleep.

After afew more minutes Sesshomaru stood up and moved back to his position against the tree. He now had the perfect view of his sleeping brother.

"Don't worry brother, I'll do anything I can to help you. Anything."

With these last few words the great lord fell asleep aswell in the gentle glow of the slowly dimming fire.

smile yay! I love nice Sesshomaru! HE RAWKS! Dispite me making you wait I do still expect you to review. AND IF YOU DON'T I'LL SICK INUYASHA ON YOU! Thanks, bye
