Chapter 4. Inuyasha's Determination
Inuyasha set down his things on his bed, and sat down on it, laid back, and sprawled out. He sighed as he looked at the ceiling of his empty room besides himself. He had just gotten home from doing some recording at the studio, although, he didn't get much accomplished. He was simply loosing his voice, because sadly for him, and his fans, he was getting sick. Curse his human half. But Inuyasha wouldn't let it take over so easily. He fought it mercilessly, and tried to get out his new single "Attack" in time for Christmas, as promised to his fans, and his brother. No luck today, and who knows how bad his voice will be by tomorrow? Inuyasha wanted to keep recording, but Sesshoumaru's work day was over, and the rest of his band needed a good few hour break. Sesshoumaru agreed to come back to the studio later on that day after a few hours needed rest.
"Master Inuyasha, welcome home. Do you wish for anything this afternoon?" A maid asked from Inuyasha's open bedroom doorway. Inuyasha's ears perked up.
"No, Kikyou, I'm fine. In fact. Go on home now, I wont be needing anything. Tell Myouga he can go home too. Have a nice day. Oh, and don't worry, I wont cut your pay for sending you home early. " Inuyasha said dismissing her. (A/N: YES. I made her a maid. Because I fucking hate her. Teehee.)
Kikyou bowed to him even though he couldn't see it. "Thank you so much master Inuyasha, you're truly too kind." Kikyou stood up straight once again, and left him alone, to go inform Myouga they can go home.
Inuyasha decided to take a nap before Sesshoumaru came back to get him.

Sesshoumaru yawned as he opened the door to the house, stepping in and closing it behind him. He knew Kagome wasn't home, and he was slightly glad about that, he needed to sleep, right now, before he keeled over. Sesshoumaru took off his shoes, and his blazer, and went up to his bedroom. He set an alarm to wake him up, and quickly crawled into bed. He laid on his stomach and quickly fell asleep, snoring quietly.

It was around six in the evening when Inuyasha woke up. He was rudely awoken by Sesshoumaru who banged on his bedroom door. Inuyasha snapped out of bed, and looked around confused. He then spotted Sesshoumaru who was smirking at him, amused.
"Good evening, Inuyasha. Sleep well?" Sesshoumaru asked, his arms crossed over his chest. His clothes were also casual instead of his usual business suit. He had on a pair of slightly faded jeans, a plain black t- shirt, a green Hollister zip up hoodie, half zipped up, and a canvas belt, instead of leather, also from Hollister. He had on black semi- rimmed glasses, the rim under the lenses, and his hair was pulled back into a loose pony tail that was draped over his shoulder, and his chest, ending just under his chest.
"Sesshoumaru! You didn't have to do that! A gentle shake would've done it, just fine.." Inuyasha yelled clearly irritated.
"This was much more amusing." Sesshoumaru smirked, leaning on the doorway.
Inuyasha growled in his throat, which he found to sting a little. "Yeahyeah"
"A little grumpy when we wake aren't we?" Sesshoumaru laughed lightly, watching his brother rummage through his closet, then a drawer, and going into his bathroom, locking the door behind him. Who knows what Sesshoumaru is capable of when in his playful mood. Oh yeah, Inuyasha did.
Hearing the 'click' of the door locking, Sesshoumaru barked out a louder laugh.
Inuyasha grumbled about the injustice of older brothers when he was safe in the bathroom. Well, safe as long as Sesshoumaru didn't decide to take his bathroom door down.
Setting down the clothes he'd grabbed out of his closet and drawer, he undressed from his more dressy clothes into his casual clothing. He changed into a pair of faded black skinny jeans, a black wife beater, an almost skin tight plain red t- shirt, and a studded black belt, with a silver and black skull belt buckle. He tucked the front of his shirt behind the belt buckle only reached down to the mid- belt anyway. Even though the shirt wasn't completely skin tight, his well built figure was still obvious. Putting his former clothing in the hamper in the corner of his larger bathroom, he exited the bathroom to see Sesshoumaru texting on his new Blackberry. Inuyasha ignored it, and went over to a walk in closet that had only coats, hoodies, sweatshirts, and shoes, and more of his various accessories, as while his other normal closet had his shirts and pants. He pulled out a black leather jacket, one you'd wear if you were riding a motorcycle. He put it on leaving it open, and sat on his bed to put on a pair of black combat boots he tended to use as snow boots, tucking his pants inside. He stood up and looked at Sesshoumaru who was still texting someone, and was seemingly oblivious to the rest of the world. He was texting either Kouga about something important, or texting Kagome. About.. Anything.
"Aniki, I'm ready, let's go." Inuyasha spoke, standing in front of Sesshoumaru, and bringing Sesshoumaru back into reality.
"Oh, yeah, let's go then." Sesshoumaru looked up at him, sending the text, then turning to exit Inuyasha's house. Inuyasha shook his head and followed him.

At the recording studio, Inuyasha was in the booth and trying so desperately to get his vocals perfect. Sadly, Kami was not on his side today, and Inuyasha was loosing his patience.
"Damnit! This isn't working!" Inuyasha shrieked and caused there to be a loud high pitched whine from the speakers on the outside where Sesshoumaru and the rest of Inuyasha's band were listening. Sesshoumaru cringed, and the band covered their ears. Sesshoumaru pressed the button so Inuyasha could hear his voice.
"Inuyasha.. Don't scream like that.. Just keep trying. Try taking a drink, and clearing your throat. Ever thought about salt water?" Sesshoumaru asked as calmly as he could, pinching the bridge of his nose. He took his finger off the button, and he heard Inuyasha sigh, and then come out of the booth.
"Fine, I'll try it." Inuyasha said before leaving the room to go gargle with salt water. His band and friends laughed at him for having to do so, although.
A few minutes later, Inuyasha came back with a rather sour look on his face.
"My throat feels a little better." Inuyasha admitted, before getting back into the booth to try again. He started to sing again but it sounded a bit.. Wet. Inuyasha cleared his throat quickly which was full of phlegm. And Inuyasha tried one last time…
I won't suffer, be broken, get tired, or wasted
Surrender to nothing, or give up what I
Started and stopped it, from end to beginning
A new day is coming, and I am finally free
Run away, run away, I'll attack
Run away, run away, go chase yourself
Run away, run away, now I'll attack
I'll attack, I'll AATTAAAAAAACK!
I would have kept you, forever, but we had to sever
It ended for both of us, faster than a-
Kill off this thinking, it's starting to sink in
I'm losing control now, and without you I can finally see
Run away, run away, I'll attack
Run away, run away, go chase yourself
Run away, run away, now I'll attack
I'll attack, I'll AATTAAAAAAACK!
Your promises, they look like lies
Your honesty, like a back that hides a knife (knife)
I promise you (promise you)
I promise you (promise you)
And I am finally free
Run away, run away, I'll attack
Run away, run away, go chase yourself
Run away, run away, now I'll attack
I'll attack, I'll attack, I will attack
Run away, I'll attack, I will attack
Run away, I'll attack, I will attack
Run away (Run away), I'll attack (I'll attack)
I'll attack, I'll attack
I'll AATTAAAAAAACK!
Your promises
(promises, promises)
I promise you
(promise you)
I promise you
(promise you, promise you)
Throughout the entire time that Inuyasha sang, Sesshoumaru was loving it, and worked at the controls furiously getting everything just right. When Inuyasha was done, Sesshoumaru looked up, and smirked at Inuyasha, giving him a thumbs up showing him that he could come out now, and that he'd done it.
"Finally!" Inuyasha said exasperatedly. "I was beginning to think that I was totally screwed."
Sesshoumaru took a sip of his coffee he'd recently acquired, and nodded. "Well you finally got it out, and now the song will be ready for Christmas, Good work, Otouto"
"Thanks, Aniki." Inuyasha said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Ok, now LET'S CELEBRATE." Bankotsu got up from his seat and wrapped his arm around Inuyasha's back to grip his opposing shoulder. Of course everyone agreed, and left to go meet at a bar.
"Are you gunna come, Sessh?" Inuyasha turned around and looked at his brother.
"I will, I just have to call Kagome." He replied reaching for his phone.
"Nah, nah, Sessh, let's just go, have a night of fun without her for once. I'm sure she wont mind, she's not a drinker anyway." Inuyasha said
Sesshoumaru stood there and pondered what he should do.
"Oh.. Alright, let's go."
"My man!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he patted his brother's shoulder.
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as he and Inuyasha exited the building to join the rest of Anti- Love. Of course not before dropping off the recordings of the music and vocals of the new song to another technician to combine them and make the final product.
"Be sure this song is done by the end of tomorrow." Sesshoumaru instructed the technician.
"Of course, Shacho Taisho, sir." The technician said nodding as Sesshoumaru left to rejoin Inuyasha in the hallway. It was then that they exited the building and joined the three other men to have their night of fun.
