Hey! Ok can I just say that Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are slightly OOC but I'm going on the assumption that this is because Sesshoumaru has been through a lot and Inuyasha is just so happy to see him, so PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!
Anyway, here it is, enjoy!
Last Time
After a moment the Pendant started to glow. It became brighter and brighter until it engulfed him.
As the Hanyou's eyes got use to the light, a small wind suddenly blew into the cave. As it played with his hair, he looked down at the piece of parchment in his hand and immediately knew what he needed to do.
Inuyasha sighed and took a deep breath before reading the spell;
'Give back that, which was taken from me,
The Soul that is trapped, Allow it to be free,
It wasn't his time, His heart is held dear,
Allow his life to continue here!'
Suddenly the wind picked up again and the pendant glowered brighter. Inuyasha stepped back, unsure of what was happening, and raised an arm to shield his eyes from the extreme brightness. Soon the light dimmed again and the Hanyou peered over the top of his sleeve to see a tall, slim figure stood, silhouetted, in the light from the pendant.
'Wha-' Inuyasha started. 'Who-?'
'Hmph.' a deep voice sounded. 'Don't you remember the face of your own brother?'
Inuyasha gasped. 'Sesshoumaru?'
Chapter 3
Inuyasha could only stare, with his mouth open, as his brother moved towards him.
Sesshoumaru frowned, but sighed. 'Do you find it too hard to establish that I have been brought back from the Netherworld?'
Inuyasha closed his mouth but didn't stop staring because he could help but notice Sesshoumaru's appearance; he looked tired and his hair was a mess. His clothes were torn in a few places and they seemed to hang off him where he had lost a bit of weight.
Sesshoumaru started to grow impatient with his annoying little brother and rolled his eyes before speaking. 'When you're quite finished.'
Inuyasha shook himself a little. 'You… look different.'
'Yes, Inuyasha, I've just come back from the dead what did you expect? Brand new robes and a stomach full of food?'
'Well…'
The demon rolled his eyes again with annoyance. 'For your information, the people of the Netherworld are not the nicest of creatures and leave all who enter to starve until their soul is completely destroyed and…'
As Inuyasha listened to his brother, he found that he was unable to speak; he never knew he would be so happy to see his big brother.
Without warning, he resorted back to his child-like instincts and pulled his unsuspecting brother, who was still describing what the Netherworld was like, into a very big hug.
Sesshoumaru was in a tiny shock; his little brother, Inuyasha was actually hugging him! What was he going to do? Well, what do think? Hug him back of course!
The two stayed like this for a moment, in the centre of the stone room. To anyone who knew the brother at all, this would appear to be a very strange sight. And a very strange sight it was that met Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Shippou as they left Kaede's hut to look for their missing comrade.
All they could do was gawp at the two as they entered the village.
'Is that Sesshoumaru?' Shippou asked, almost falling off Miroku's shoulder.
'It… would appear to be.' The Monk replied, still trying to get his own head around what he was seeing.
Sango was just as shocked too. 'But…'
'How?' Kagome said finishing Sango's question.
'Simple.' Inuyasha said standing before them with Sesshoumaru stood a few paces behind.
'Why don't ye all come inside and you can tell us all about it, Inuyasha.' Kaede said from the doorway.
'… and that's how I brought him back.' Inuyasha finished telling the others his tale.
No one spoke until Kagome thought it best to break it. 'Well,' she started unsure. 'I think it's great that Sesshoumaru's back.' She glanced at the Taiyoukai who was sat in the far corner away from everyone else, before adding 'And not wanting to kill us any more.'
Sesshoumaru glanced up at the strange Miko. 'And what makes you think that?' He asked.
'Because,' Kagome answered turning around to face him. 'You know that we were the ones who tried to save you life, and even though we failed,' she said when Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to retort. 'Inuyasha brought you back from the dead.'
Sesshoumaru closed his mouth as he now had nothing else to say, except for, 'Fine.' And with that he made to stand up but found himself being pushed down by non other than Inuyasha.
The Taiyoukai glared at the Hanyou, who only glared back. 'Where do you think you're going?' He demanded.
'Home.' Was the simple reply.
'No you're not.' Inuyasha said, having not removing his hand from Sesshoumaru's shoulder. 'Have you seen the state you're in?' Inuyasha shook his head before continuing. 'No. You're not going anywhere until we make sure that your injuries, and your stomach, are seen to.'
'My stomach is fine.' Sesshoumaru tried to say but was cut off by a loud rumbling from his gut. He was silent for the rest of the morning.
While everyone else sat eating their bowl of stew that Kaede and Kagome had made, Sesshoumaru took to glaring at his.
'What's the matter?' Inuyasha asked, in between mouthfuls. 'Don't like Kagome's cooking?' Kagome, having heard this, proceeded to shoot "flaming daggers of death" at him, which he just chose to ignore.
Sesshoumaru, however, he could not ignore; the Taiyoukai had moved his glare from the bowl of stew to his brother. 'Hmph.' He replied. 'Human food does nothing for me.'
Inuyasha smiled. 'I'm glad you're back, Sesshoumaru.'
Sesshoumaru's glare soon turned into a small smile. 'Me too.' He said. 'Me too.'
There! I hope you liked it! Anyway, I need to go and work on my other Inu fic so, see ya!
