I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.


Chapter two: A Special Feeling


The first day of school was always hard; especially the goodbyes.

A young boy watched as his parents tried to calm his brother, his half-brother. When suddenly, there was a huge flare of youki, so strong it rivaled his fathers; the great InuTaisho. Everything came to a standstill and his mother and father shared a look and suddenly started looking about for where the enormous strength came from. He too was curious and looked around when his eyes fell upon a girl with an unusual eye colour, especially for a Japanese human to naturally possess. From his demon heightened eyes he could see the mixture of blue and grey swirling in her eyes. He stood there in a trance watching her even after the commotion created from the aura flare had gone down. He watched as she made a cute face, what appeared to be her thinking. Her skin was a little tanned compared to his yet she was still fair and her thick black wavy hairy only made it look all the more so. Seeing a man's hands on her stirred something inside of him creating a feeling he had never felt before, a confusing feeling. He watched as she said something to who he quickly realized to be her father and it must have been quite funny for the man erupted in laughter. The boy too wanted to know what she said and be a part of their moment, which was another strange feeling. She was just a human like his half-brother's mother.


Inuyasha was created as a result of an affair; an affair where both parties were married. Inuyasha's mother was a human and her husband, upon finding out about the betrayal, never forgave her. When the news of her pregnancy reached him he was furious and demanded a divorce and left when he recieved it. Takemaru and Izayoi had been trying for a child for a while and for her to suddenly be pregnant with another man's child was the last straw. Izayoi died a short time after giving birth and Takemaru never visited her after he had left. InuTaisho and Izayoi never got married, instead he tried to stay with his mate; InuKimi but she also could not forgive InuTaisho but chose to remain living with him for the children's sake. InuKimi disliked humans and it only grew with Izayoi's presence but could not ignore her motherly instincts and the fact that her son had a brother even if he was not her own child.


"NO! I DON'T WANNA! NOOOOO!"

A boy with cute little dog ears was refusing to let go of his father. The boy was handsome, even at his young age. His ears gave away the fact that he was only half demon and him being attached to the strong demon radiating power, it had to be that he had a human mother. His bright red socks, which were obviously against school rules, stood out against the dark colour of his uniform. His screeching and yelling filled the air, while his kicking and thrashing combined filled his half-brother with shame.

Everyone around them was staring their way.


The young demon as much as he wished could not kill the half breed. His parents would probably say something on the lines of "Sesshomaru, he is family. Pack. He is your brother. Treat him like it." after all; doesn't he hear it every day? Especially when they fought.

He looked at Inuyasha with disgust and then looked up and around at the attention his insolent 'brother' had attracted.

And that was when it happened.

That's when his eyes met Blue-grey.

He held her gaze even when the ruckus grew behind him. They stared at each other as if in a trans until it was broken by a yell of "ENOUGH!" The girl startled, looked away and at his father. Sesshomaru was disappointed as he clenched his fists by his side.

Everything and everyone grew quiet, including Inuyasha.

"That's enough Inuyasha" InuTaisho said with a stern voice.

"Inuyasha, Shesshomaru will look out for you and we'll come pick the two of you up when school finishes. Okay?" InuKimi tried.

Inuyasha bit his lip and looked down nodding and hesitantly looked at his brother for confirmation to which he received a nod in return.


Kagome's eyes were back on Sesshomaru, assessing his features. He was beautiful. Magenta stripes ran across his cheeks which still held a little baby fat and the crescent moon on his forehead showed his heritage and league. His hair was silver like his brother's and father's hair and looked to be soft and silky. Kagome had the urge to touch it. He was taller hinting he was probably older and in a higher grade. His ears were pointed but very human compared to his brother's dog ears. Kagome preferred the dog ears but she couldn't help thinking that his hair looked softer than his brothers'.

With the spectacle over everyone went back to what they were doing and Hoshi was once again gently tugging Kagome's hand so they could proceed walking to the office.

Kagome kept her eyes on Sesshomaru's form hoping to meet his eyes. His posture was so grown up and proper and his features were so cold when he nodded at his brother but when their eyes had met earlier they had held a warmth she wanted to see again.


Sesshomaru looked back at the girl to see her staring back at him over her shoulder and stumbling in her walk. He saw her father tugging her along and heard him scolding her for not looking where she was going and that it could be dangerous and how much he didn't want her to get hurt.

"Kagome, what's so interesting back there? You should look infront of you, we're almost there." He said stopping and turning to her.

'Kagome. So that is her name.' Sesshomaru thought to himself, feeling a smirk creep up on his face.

Kagome's father looked back to find what had caught his daughter's attention so blatantly only to find a boy staring right back at his precious angel. No, it was not just that, he was smirking! The little devil! He finally caught the boys eyes and glared but the boys smirk only grew, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Hoshi! What's wrong? Why did you stop?" His wife asked oblivious to 'the little devil' that had caught both Hoshi's and Kagome's attention.

"Nothing" he mumble back his eyes still set on the demon boy.

Hoshi threw another fierce glare the boy's way and stomped off, tugging Kagome along.

It was not that long ago, just minutes before, when he had said "No boy's taking my baby away" with confidence and now, well now there was him.

Sesshomaru's smirk remained as his amusement grew at knowing he had unnerved an adult.

'Hmmm maybe this arrangement is not as bad as first thought' Sesshomaru thought before Kagome and her family were out of sight.

'Not bad indeed' a voice inside of him spoke, startling him.

I realize I've played a bit with some of the characters personality and they don't quite seem themselves but I did try very hard to keep the 'playing' to a minimum but it is a Sesshomaru and Kagome story.

Something I'd like to mention, although it is not that important, is the meanings for the names I've made up myself. They do hold a meaning, that I believe fits with how I picture them to be and their personality. You can search it up yourself or just ask me if any of you are interested. Inu Kimi is a name I've often heard and seen for Sesshomaru's mother and I felt it is the best suited name.

I'd like to thank:

for reviewing. I told myself I wouldn't mind if I didn't receive any reviews especially any good ones but I couldn't help smiling at the support you all gave me. Thank you all so much!

Nipi, you read my mind! but instead of Kouga I used Inuyasha. I hope you're not disappointed. But don't fret he will make an appearance. Not sure when or where but he will! And I was planning to do something similar with the whole 'Kouga's woman' possessiveness Kouga has.

Taisho Chan, I will update as soon as quickly as I can but I doubt I can update every day. I'm sorry but I will try very hard to release a new chapter every week. No promises though.

Again I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism, advice, corrections or even ideas. I apologize for any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors.

Thank you for taking the time to read it,
