Title: Awoken

Chapter6: What's happening to me?

Summary: after an argument that leads to Kagome heading for home, something awakens inside InuYasha, what is it? And can it be stopped?

Disclaimer: I own movies 1,2 and 3, one DVD of episodes and 2 posters. I sadly lack the money to own InuYasha v.v

Dedicated to: vaders aprentice darth squishy for all those great reviews, just try taking him away! I dare you! and Arch-Nemesis for pointing out that mistake! Thanks guys!

"So you saved Sesshomaru's little brat." The demon said as it floated on its back by the suspended half demon.

"Ya so?" the hanyou asked as he pulled at the bounds around his arms, trying to get free.

"Stop struggling!" the full demon roared, and pain coursed though the half demons body. Hearing this the human couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop it both of you!" the human shouted, making both demon and half demon turn and look at him. The human was floating off to the side with his legs crossed, with his back to the two.

"What's wrong with you?" the demon asked floating over to the human.

"Just leave him alone."

"Why? He's struggling, he should not struggle." At the last part he sent a glare over to the other.

The half demon stopped struggling and looked over at the demon and human, "Why am I the one bound? Shouldn't he be?" he glared back at the demon.

The demon grinned and floated back over to the tied half breed, "We're in your dreams, where you have no control. This world is controlled by us, so you are the one bound." He grinned.

"Give it a rest!" the human said agitated. The demon looked over at the human and at the half demon.

"Something wrong with your mortal butt?"

The human spun around and glared back at the demon, "Ya and its you!"

"Oh! Well then, I guess I'll just have to try harder." Before long they were fighting and the half demon was howling out in pain.

On the other side of the castle, Sesshomaru was in his personal chamber going over what he found out on his short adventure.

He went back to the tree that had first told him about the secret of tetsusgia, the tree that both scabbards were forged from. He told the tree demon what was happening and in turn he was told how to help.

But after his help, the half demon would never be the same again.

Sessshomaru was ripped from his thoughts when he heard a familiar howl. He ran out of his room and down to the other side of his castle where InuYasha was staying. He slid open the door and saw InuYasha's body erupt again into huge spasms. He had moved around so much that the blanket was around his neck and if he were to move to the right, he would have made himself a noose choked himself to death.

Sesshomaru stopped staring and rushed over to his side, sliding the cloth over his head and tried to wake his sleeping brother up.

"InuYasha!" he called as he took hold of his shoulder and shook. The boy stopped moving and was set back onto the bed.

"InuYasha." He called again shaking gently.

His breathing softened and his eyes slowly opened. He saw Sesshomaru sitting by his side. He raised a shaky hand to wipe the bead of sweat that formed on his brow, his eyes never leaving the eyes of his brother. He could see worry in them, as well as fear for his well being.

"What's happening to me?" came the question that haunts even the lords' mind.

The eldest brother looked away, he didn't know how to answer that question. He didn't know what to tell him. What the tree demon told him, was something he couldn't tell his brother.

"You must help him Lord Sesshomaru. If you do not, your brother will surly die. And not even your tensaiga will save him."

He couldn't let his brother die, for some unknown reason, if he were to die. The only thing worth living would only be Rin, and she would die one day too.

The old demons words haunted his ears, but he managed to say something to his trembling brother.

"We-" he started but InuYasha beat him to it.

"When'd you get back?" he asked, asking something that was nowhere near as important as what Sesshomaru had to say.

Sesshomaru stared at him confused, "I was back last night. Don't you remember?"

InuYasha scrunched his brow trying to remember. He remembered seeing someone in his doorway, and someone thanking him. But that was about all he did remember.

"Ya kinda." He said. Sesshomaru didn't like that answer.

"We'll start now." Sesshomaru said as he took hold of InuYasha and dragged him out of the room.

"Start what? Where are you taking me?" He asked as he allowed Sesshomaru to drag him down the hall.

"Closer to my room, so I can keep my eye on you."

InuYasha looked up at him confused, "Why are you helping me?"

They stopped and Sesshomaru looked at his brother, "What do you mean?"

"All of the sudden you show up, and decide now to help me. Now you care about me enough to see me as a brother?"

Sesshomaru sighed, "I know where this is headed, and I know that you want me to say that I've always cared about you. But we both know that's a lie, I never care for you in your life. But after what I saw what the humans put you though, I didn't want that life for you anymore." He half confessed. "And now you need my help. With out it, my brother, you will die."

InuYasha looked up at him with shocked eyes, he couldn't believe it, yet he knew he was right.

"I'll die… but, I can be brought back and we can try again right?" he asked hopeful. Tears were welling up in his eyes, he didn't care that Sesshomaru would see them he didn't want to die.

Sesshomaru shook his head no, "Nothing, not even my tensaiga."

Tears slid silently down his cheeks, he just found freedom and now it was going to be taken away.

Haha! This was a b!tch to write. Sorry if this chapter seems to be all over the place, but I needed this one done to get to the next. And the next, it will begin!

BTW (by the way): how many people reading this would like them as lovers. And how many would die if I made them lovers? Cuz in the future chapters, I dunno, but there may be hints of… more than brotherly love… I dunno…

Thanks, and if you see any mistakes, please let me know, so I can fix it! Thanks and please review.
