I don't own the characters of Inuyasha.
I wanted to take this time to thank all the people who followed, favorited, reviewed, and took the time to read my story. (Even if you didn't like it.) It means the world to me. :)
There Are Worse Games To Play.
Souta was walking around looking for Katsuo.
That damned demon was too much of a loner! Ugh.
Finally he sensed him at the shrine where he first went to to talk to his father.
He walked up beside the taller demon and waited for him to speak.
Kain just started intently on the shrine.
Souta looked into his eyes. The pain was clear.
"Talking to dad?" Souta asked.
Katsuo shook his head and looked at Souta out of the corner of his eye.
"My brother."
Soutas eyes widened.
"Did you get your revenge?"
Katsuo's bangs covered his eyes as he bowed his head.
He was remembering his past.
Twelve years ago. Katsuo was seven years old. (Katsuo had been friends with Kagome and her family for a little over a year.)
"Hey Katsuo! How r you today?" Young Katsuo looked up into his brothers eyes with a big smile.
His brother was seven years older. Twice his age. His name was Tatsumi.
"Nii-San, train with me! Father thinks I'm not strong enough! I want to be as strong as you so I can live to his standards! He's so proud of you!" Katsuo said with bright blue eyes.
Tatsumi smiled kindly as he kneeled in front of his smaller brother.
"Katsuo, you will be much stronger than me one day. But until then. I vow to protect you no matter what." Tatsumi smiles with his matching eyes.
One month later.
Katsuo stood over his dead parents. His family was the last of his clan. Now it was just him and his brother.
He had just got done watching his brother kill his parents.
His brother was long gone now with a bright flash of lightning.
'I vow to kill him!' He thought.
Present time.
"I did get my revenge. After I broke your sisters heart I left to find him. After I did, it was a bloody battle. But I won. I went to Bokuseno to make sure I didn't have any clan members left that I knew of."
Katsuo paused as his teeth was clinched and a tear rolled down his face.
Souta's eyes widen.
"That was when I learned the truth. My father wanted to kill me bacause I was to weak. My brother killed my parents to protect me. He didn't tell me the truth because he didn't want to ruin how I saw them. I killed him." He wipes the tear away and looked at Souta.
"I've made such foolish decisions in my life. But I swear to you, I will protect you and Kagome. I love her. I know it's too late but I can't help it. If I could move on I would. I think of you as my own brother. You and Kagome are all I have left, even if she hates me." Katsuo said.
Souta looked at Katsuo.
"I'm so sorry." Souta said.
Three hours later.
Sesshomaru and Kagome crossed blades.
Kagome glared as she swung. Sesshomaru jumped back and swung his acid whip.
It grazed her cheek. That acid hurt like hell!
They were surrounded by their friends though they stayed a good distance away in the clearing.
"Damn it!" Kagome was pissed. Sesshomaru was trying to show her a move and she just couldn't master it.
"Calm down. You will never be able to catch on if you can't keep a calm head." Sesshomaru said.
Sesshomaru paused as He went on to think of something else.
"Miko, listen closely. I will show you something different. We will come back to that." He said.
Kagome nodded her head and paid attention.
"It is known that you, as a Kinzoku clan member can make any metal weapon come from the palm of your hand." He paused again as he extended two fingers out to the side as his whip came from his hand.
"What can you make to form a weapon like this?" He asked as he looked into her eyes.
She brought her thumb and first finger to her chin in thought.
There were many options. But there was only one that stood out.
She smirked as she looked at him.
She extended her hand as a very long chain came out of the palm of her hand.
He nodded at her. Then he swung his whip at her.
She swung the chain but he sliced it in half. She had to duck so she wouldn't lose her head.
She sucked what was left of the chain back into her hand.
Sesshomaru's looked at her.
"After much practice you will be able to stop my whip with the harder metal that you form. Now make a shield."
Kagome nodded as she extended her hand out in front of her. Metal came out like a wall as it soon covered in front of her but it was still attached to her palm.
Suddenly she felt a hard hit on it. She was looking at a dent that was right in front of her face.
She sweat dropped. What the hell did he just do?!
This training will be the death of her!
After many hours of brutal training with Sesshomaru, she finally got a break.
She fell back right on her back panting in the middle of the field they were training in.
He didn't even break a damn sweat! Ugh!
"You did well. At this rate if we train everyday with everyone's help, you will win against the enemies you and your brother will face." He said.
Kagome nodded.
She just wanted to protect her brother. That's all she wanted.
One month later.
Kagome would face Kikyo anytime. Night or day. Kagome was ready when she was. Though she did not want to kill her sister.
Kagome looked at Kaede. Sesshomaru, Sango, Kilala, Souta, Katsuo, Kaname, Shippō, and Kagome were all leaving for the western castle. The plan was to deliver which ever sibling won to the west so that they and Souta could find what was left of the Kinzoku clan.
Sesshomau had a good feeling about Kagome winning.
She was trained by himself, Kaname, Zabuza, Kaede, and even Katsuo. Even though she hated it, she was willing to learn from anyone.
They all started their journey. Sesshomaru lead.
He made it clear that there was a village a couple miles ahead. They would get supplies there. It would take days before they reached the western lands castle.
