Enjoy!
-Yoruna-
The kitchen in ruins? Yes, of course he was expecting that. Being covered in rice paste, raw meat and something-he-dare-not-name? No.
Sesshoumaru made a perfect imitation of a koi fish. The Daiyoukai's mouth opened and closed in a rhythmic fashion as his mother and younger brother went into hysterical laughter. He blinked a few times as he tried to comprehend what is it that had just happened?
"Hahaha! Great make up Sesshoumaru!"
"Yeah, Fis- Aniki!" Inuyasha managed to say between the fits of hysterical laughter. Arms clutching his stomach and legs swinging back and forth. The young hanyou yelped when his so-called "step-mother" picked him up and ran for dear life. He could feel his brother's rapidly darkening aura behind them. That was when he realized they were in big, big trouble.
-Brothers-
Sesshoumaru blew his clean hair out of his eyes. He watched his mother and brother run into an abandoned house. Before he took chase after his 'loving' family, he had taken his time to clean himself, for he knew that it will take a long time to catch those two. The young daiyoukai walked in confident, long strides as he approached the house. He sniffed the air and smelled his brother's unruly, forest and dirt scent from behind a wall, half concealed by vines and moss.
He left it at that. Sesshoumaru gave his brother the satisfaction. He sniffed the air once more, and caught another scent. One that was unlikely to be his mother, because of it's bird-like scent. He spun around and picked Inuyasha up. Sesshoumaru tucked his brother on his shoulder and ignored the yelp he had produced from Inuyasha. Another sniff, and the same scent wafted through his nose. Said appendage twitch when the underlying smell of something suddenly appeared. Blood, he realized, he had been too fond of that scent, from years of battle.
Sesshoumaru spotted his mother. She was hidden behind bushes and trees, a serious and deadly look in her eyes. He followed her line of sight and spotted a mutilated crow-demon, blood still spilling from the gaping wound that showed the world the contents of it's guts. His hand instinctively covered his younger brother's eyes from the gory sight. He stalked towards his mother and handed Inuyasha to her.
The young daiyoukai nodded as toward the lady of the Western Lands and hurried her off towards their house.
Tsukiyo was skeptical at first, but obeyed reluctantly, knowing that it was for the best. She didn't want someone so young to see such horrors in life and tried to bring their youngest family member home.
The keyword being tried. They heard a whimper from behind the bushes that was mostly covered in blood. Inuyasha jumped out from his step-mothers hand and ran towards the bush before both of his older family member had a chance to grab him. He wasn't fazed with the blood, he knew he had seen something far worse. The hanyou had not known when or where, but he knew.
He parted the undergrowth and came face to face with a black thing. That thing- it smelled distinctly human, but not in the same time -was strangling, another boy, around the age of Inuyasha himself, if not a little older. The crazed eyes if the thing met his, and turned back toward the boy- Inuyasha noted that he almost looked like a younger version if his brother, only a bit more girlish, and wondered if they were related. -it turned it's gaze back and forth towards Inuyasha, and what it considered was it's prey before settling on another boy. Black hair matted with blood and purple eyes wide with fright.
The thing's face sprouted a wide satisfied smile. Before tightening it's hold around the silver boy's neck from the growl that he had produced. Said boy chocked and clawed at his attacker's arms, only successful in making small scratch marks.
Inuyasha blinked as more blood sprouted. Apparently, his brother- wait that wasn't his brother, or was it?- had taken the head of the insane thing's head of it's shoulder. He felt himself being lifted off the ground and was surrounded in the familiar warmth of Mokomoko and his brother's scent.
"Sesshoumaru." His brother-not-brother whispered. The younger boy snuggled safely in his arms.
"Yoruna."
-Brothers-
