Disclaimer: I only own this crazy little story and Nekoyasha. The rest of the Inuyasha universe does not belong to me.
A/N: I write two chapters ahead. However chapter 13 is turning out to be uber long and I figured that I would be nice and go ahead and post this for you. Please read the whole chapter.

Chapter 11: Brotherly Deeds
Sesshomaru turned the sword. How much of its power will I lose if I do this?
He glanced at Inuyasha. There was uncertainty in the boy's eyes.
Slowly Sesshomaru advanced on his younger brother. He could feel the power rising in Tokijin. It was craving his brother's blood. Sesshomaru was going to give the blood to it. He felt the faint pulse of his other sword. It was as if his father was urging him not to do this. He brushed his fingers along Tensaiga's hilt.
I feel you and hear your warning.
Inuayasha saw the determination in his brother's eyes. He half-heartedly lifted his own sword in defense.
Sesshomaru batted the sword away. Fear filled Inuyasha's eyes as the Tetsusaiga clattered to the ground.
Sesshomaru grabbed the front of the firerat robes. Inuyasha tried to claw at his brother, but the look in his eyes chilled the hanyou.
"Trust me," Sesshomaru whispered into Inuyasha's ear before plunging Tokijin in to half-breed's body.
(A/N: I could have been reeeeally evil and had made that the end of last chapter, but I didn't. Please stop throwing rotting vegetables at me. ::ducks:: Just continue reading. Please? ::Ducks a flying tomato::.)

Inuyasha saw his brother coming towards him. Somehow he knew that Sesshomaru was going to kill him.
No! Can't let him!
He pulled Tetsusaiga up in front of him. But his hold was not strong. He thought about letting the demon blood control him, but his brother's gaze held him in check. Besides going full demon might mean that he would hurt Kagome or Nekoyasha as well as his friends.
He knew that he should fight back. He swatted at the older dog. A few lines of red appeared on Sesshomaru's cheek.
His brother had grabbed hold of him and whispered words that Inuyasha never thought he'd hear come from his brother's lips, and then suddenly Tokijin was in him. Taking away his life. Laughing as it tasted his blood.
Inuyasha looked into his brother's eyes. "Niichan?" he whispered.
Power soared inside his body. Inuyasha was dimly aware of screaming in his head. It was a moment before he realized the screaming was his own. He was dimly aware that there was a higher pitch to it. Nekoyasha's.
Is that Kagome crying for me?
Inuyasha could feel his life fading away. But the demon aura of the sword was fading just as fast.
He felt the evil aura dissipate before he slipped into darkness, Kagome's sobs and Nekoyasha's screams fading away to quiet nothingness.

Outside the piercing screams reached the two children hiding in the shrubs. Shippo shuddered. The female scream was a mournful inhuman call that chilled his demon blood. He could only guess what it was doing to the little girl. She edged closer to him and Shippo wrapped his arms protectively around her.
"What has happened?"
"I don't know, Rin." But I fear the worse.

Sesshomaru felt the sword die. He withdrew it from Inuyasha and watched as his brother's body fell to the floor.
Nekoyasha's howling had stopped. He glanced up at her. She hung from her binds limply, the only signs of life were the tremors from her silent sobs. The miko had tears falling down her cheeks but she gave him a look of pure hatred.
His glance flicked to the other couple. The slayer stood there in shock. The monk looked at him in a disbelieving state. His eyes were questioning. He was subtly holding the demon slayer back, waiting to see what Sesshomaru would do next.
Naraku's laughter filled the room. It disgusted the demon lord.
Let's see if you laugh at my next move.
He sheathed Tokijin and removed Tensaiga. The sword of life pulsed at him. He saw the messengers of the underworld around his brother's body. He swiped at them with the sword and watched as they disintegrated.
He waited.
Inuyasha drew a deep breath. Slowly the hanyou rose to his feet.
Sango squeaked in amazement, alerting the bound girls to the change. Kagome couldn't speak and fresh tears spilled down her face. Nekoyasha looked from one brother to the other. She knew they were going to get out of there now.
Miroku had known that Sesshomaru wouldn't leave his brother dead. At least not in this place. He had been right two years ago, when he had said that Sesshomaru would be a valuable ally.
Inuyasha looked at himself. He felt better than he did just a few minutes ago, before Tokijin had been rammed into him. He looked at his brother.
Sesshomaru stood there looking regal and uncaring. Suddenly Inuyasha understood why his brother had run him through. Tokijin now completely belonged to Sesshomaru.
Inuaysha picked up Tetsusaiga. He glared at Naraku. The evil hanyou's smile had faded.
"We will be taking both of the girls now."

A/N: I know I said that I wouldn't kill Inuyasha, blame it on my muse and evil plot bunnies. But, hey, I brought him back to life. Anyway I hope you liked this chapter. Please review. Reviews make me happy.
Ryguy: There will be fluff. But other things have to happen first. Like certain people have to die and faint and many other things before there is fluff. Just hang in there.
RavenShadow: You're back! ::does little happy dance:: I'm glad you like it so far. I read "Yuureibanashi", but I want you to update "Shikon no Kakera Hunters." Please?
BeccaPatty: While I do write ahead, I am only two chapters ahead. As I said in the beginning a/n the chapter I am working on is reeeeeally long. "I'll come for you" was mostly written before I posted, but that was because I was writing it out by hand, and getting to a computer to type it up was hard for awhile. This one is completely written on the computer. Yeah, I mostly like movie 3 (I probably would have liked it more if the subtitles were better.) It is about their dad and his three (yes 3) swords. And one is a demon sword that wants to take over the world. Plus we learn how old Inuyasha really is. I can't wait for the English version of movie 2 either.
Well that is all for now. Until next chapter!
