Oh yea I forget this, I don't own Inuyasha, actually I don't want it. I just want the characters.

Heres the next chapter

Before Inuyasha's father died he wanted to give him something. Inuyasha stood before his fathers bedside, wondering about what he wanted to give him. Inu Taisho opened his eyes and focused it on his son.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yea."

One of the servants came over to Inuyasha, and placed a sword in his hands. Inuyasha looked at the sword. And then looked at his father.

"That is for you my son, it is Tetsusiaga a very powerful sword. Use it to protect those you care about. In a few years you'll be grown and I'm sure you will have your own family."

Inuyasha thought about what is father was saying. There had been only one person he wanted to protect, and that was Kikyou. She didn't even need him anymore. Yet he took the sword anyway.

"Father..."

"Call Sesshomaru in will you?"

He nodded and then left his fathers room. Moments later Sesshomaru entered the room, but noticed the sword Inuyasha had. Why did that little brat get a sword? More importantly where was his sword.

"Father."

"Sesshomaru my first born. Here."

He too was handed a sword, but was soon most unhappy with it. When he was told about what it could do. Something about being able to heal. Then he heard all about the Tetsusiaga, he wanted that one.

"Why do I get this worthless piece..."

"Sesshomaru!" Inu Taisho yelled.

Sesshomaru was silenced immediately. Although he was still visibly angry about Tensiaga. He would kill Inuyasha for getting the better sword. All he needed now was to make sure the old man died.

"Tensiaga is yours so you should just accept it."

"Fine."

Sesshomaru stormed off in search of his younger brother. Inuyasha had been sitting aside, still thinking about the sword. What good was it for if he had no one to protect it with. Kikyou lived with the demon exterminators. His mother was dead. He was sure as hell not going to protect his brother.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Why does a worthless hanyou like you get the better sword."

Before Inuyasha could even answer Sesshomaru lunged at him. Inuyasha jumped back. His claws accidentally slashing Sesshomaru on the face. He looked at the fresh blood on his claws.

"Sesshomaru...I"

Inuyasha wasn't going to apologize to him. He was just very surprised at what he had done. He never attacked his brother before. But what he didn't realize was that this would be the first, of many more battles.

"Leave now, before I kill you."

"I..."

"Did you not hear me Leave!' Sesshomaru yelled.

Inuyasha grabbed Tetsusiaga and started to run off. He turned back one more time, he would have the last word in all of this.

"Feh! Who cares I don't want to stay with you."

Meanwhile Kikyou had been speaking to Midoriko.

"Kikyou, you will make an excellent priestess one day."

"Thank you Lady Midoriko."

There was something that Midoriko wanted to discuss with Kikyou. Seeing as how in a few years she would be a teenager. She felt that then she would be better for the job.

"Kikyou I want to talk to you about the Shikon no Tama."

Kikyou gave her a very questionable look. She had heard a lot about it from Sango's family. It was supposed to grant any wish. Also a lot of demons were after it.

"Yes Lady Midoriko, what did you want me to know?"

Midoriko asked Kikyou to take a walk with her. She then got into details about the Shikon no Tama. How she thought that Kikyou could handle it, when she was older.

"You understand what I want you to do, Kikyou?"

"Yes Lady Midoriko."

Kikyou understood full well what Midoriko wanted. Meaning in a few years she would be a priestess. Also that she would have to guard the jewel with her life. Yet there was one plus to the whole thing. She wasn't aware of it now, but the news of the jewel would bring Inuyasha back into her life.

"Kikyou your the best student I ever taught. I have never doubted you before, I have complete and total faith in you Kikyou."

"Thank you I enjoyed being your apprentice."

It had started to rain and Inuyasha decided to take refuge in a cave. He was happy to be away from Sesshomaru, that was the only good thing. He looked at the sword again, wondering why his father gave it to him. There had to be a reason for this.

"Kikyou." he thought.

He wondered if he would ever see her again. His father did say in a few years he would be grown. Meaning that he could do whatever he wanted. He wanted to find Kikyou and let it be like old times again.

"Kikyou, I'll find you and protect you with Tetsusaiga." he promised.

I know short chapter. But next chapter Inuyasha will try and find a certain "Priestess" who guards the Shikon no tama. Ah, I wonder who that could be...Lol
