Chapter 31

The group was standing in front of the western lord's castle. They didn't have trouble getting to the castle but they had the one or two stops here and there, but there was yesterday that scared them and stopped for 2 or so hours.

It was awhile after lunch; Sango and Miroku were flying in the air with Kirara carrying them. They had been following Inuyasha's lead but then all of a sudden he started to yell on the top of his lungs. Kirara had flown down, Sango and Miroku jumped off staring close to Inuyasha. Miroku tried walking close but he was pushed back roughly. They didn't try and go close to him again incase he pushed them away cause he was injured. He was holding on tight to his neck and the other hand held close to hid heart. Sango kept asking if he was alright, and what was wrong, and before they knew it the yelling stopped and he had fainted. When he woke up in an hour he said nothing but told them that he was fine. Knowing damn well something was wrong. Sango tried to push on with the subject but he just ignored her, and they went on, Inuyasha running as if nothing had happened. They knew something happened but Inuyasha really didn't seem like talking about it. All they knew was that he wanted to do was get to Sesshomaru's as fast as possible. His time was running out.

They walked though the gate and towards the doors Inuyasha walked up to the doors and opened them finding his half brother already waiting for him at the entrance. He was standing there fully dressed in his royal outfit and armor.

"Welcome brother and guests. I've been expecting you." Sesshomaru said walking up to the group. "So I see it is true that Naraku took your mate."

"He fucking took her Sesshomaru. You know what this means. He has completely gone and disobeyed one of the youkai laws. He will pay, his head is mine." Inuyasha's voice was rugged and raspy, from not using it in awhile. His eyes flickered red many times while he spoke.

Which Sesshomaru didn't miss, when Inuyasha had red bleeding though his golden eyes he was extremely pissed and mad. His youkai wanted to get out, and all that that would mean would be that he will kill anyone until he finds what he wants, his mate. Sesshomaru could not have that happening even if he did turn youkai he knew he wouldn't be able to keep him down for long. If he ever lost Rin he would done the same. He couldn't even imagine the pain his half brother was going though.

For Sesshomaru all he could do was listen to what he had to say.

"Please follow me, we will discuss this in the study." The youkai lord began to say.

"No I want to get her now send your army and distract that bastard so I can get my Kagome back! I need her back!" Inuyasha roared the redness never fully fading.

"Inuyasha! Calm down! Come to the study and explain me all of what has happened so I can be sure of what my plan is. Either way you shall get you mate back. I shall do this in all my powers to get her back. So let us go to the study." Sesshomaru said, to calm down Inuyasha which it did for the most part, though the crimson in his eyes didn't die down.

Miroku, Sango and Kirara had been silent for this discussion it was a matter of brothers, in this case half brothers. Even though Sesshomaru didn't raise his voice much or even curs he was able to talk and communicate to Inuyasha in his distant monotone voice. So they followed quietly as they were taken to the study.

Once they reached the study, they took a seat on some of the couches. When everyone was all comfortable in the couches, Sesshomaru talked.

"Alright Inuyasha tell me everything that has happened since you left my castle." Sesshomaru asked.

So that is what Inuyasha exactly did. He told him everything that had happened. From Kouga's kidnapping, which Inuyasha told his brother that they had an allied, now with the west wolf tribe. To there group being separated and Inuyasha told him that him and Kagome had mated fully, then to the discovery that Kagome was taken. Every so often Sango or Miroku would put in there input. Sesshomaru listened quietly, nodding every once and awhile. When Inuyasha was done explaining, Sesshomaru answered a question that had been on Miroku's and Sango's minds for awhile.

"Inuyasha I'm glad that you did not go head first to Naraku's castle and came here first, even though I know how hard it must have been to come here and not after your mate. You are right this is no longer man against man, but it is a war. Naraku broke the youkai law he knows we will give him a war and a war we shall give him. You've given all the information I needed to be confirmed. Tomorrow we shall begin preparations for our battle. I'd advise you to go to sleep it have been a long journey and I'm sure you'll need the rest." Sesshomaru said to them, but when Inuyasha was at the door Sesshomaru stopped him. "Inuyasha come here we must talk for a moment."

Inuyasha sat in a chair sitting with his bangs covering his eyes.

"Inuyasha, you know you have to sleep and eat. I can tell this is a very painful time for you. But you don't want to be half dead when we go to war. You're no good to us without your strength built." Sesshomaru stated. He knew this pain was unbearable and that his youkai must be going haywire.

"How can you understand my pain. I can't hold her, I can't kiss her, I can't smell her. I can only feel her emotions of pain, sorrow, and sadness. I can feel it when she cries, but I can't comfort her. You don't understand. This pain hurts more then dying a thousand deaths. And recently I feel our bond slipping, like holding sand it slips out, and I can't stop it." Inuyasha was so close to tears, it was as if he was a puppy being kicked over and over.

"What do you mean by 'your bond slipping' that's impossible there is no possible way that your mark can leave unless..." Sesshomaru paused. "Unless you hired very high class mikos to make a removal potion." Inuyasha quickly tell me what happened before you felt you bond stat to fade." Sesshomaru asked rushed.

"We were traveling here, and then out of no where my neck started to burn like hell. It went on for what seemed like awhile, but then I can't remember. All that I remember is waking up and feeling lonely, even though Miroku and Sango were right there. They said I fainted and asked if I was all right, I told them I was, but I knew soothing was...out of place." Inuyasha said as calmly as possible.

There was along pause before the west lord spoke.

"Inuyasha...I have to warn you this is going to be extremely horrible news. But your mark on Kagome is being removed, I wouldn't be surprised if it already is." There was complete silence. A low but deep growling was echoing though the study. Inuyasha took a step back into a love seat. His hands on either side of the arm chair. His nails grew digging into the arm of the chair, his growling slowly growing louder.

That's when Sesshomaru smelt it; his brother had no trace of human blood. Meaning one thing, he had turned full youkai, and by the looks of it a non-to-pleased one. Sesshomaru looked to Inuyasha's hip and found that tetsuaiga wasn't there. he quickly looked around the room till his eyes set upon the rusty old sword on the ground near his brothers feet. He knew that any sudden movements would cause Inuyasha to lash out at him.

Ever so slowly he stepped closer to the arm-chair, Sesshomaru bent down gradually and when he finally touched the old sheath trying to pick it up he found he had no time. Because Inuyasha sprung out of the seat and tried to imbed his claws into Sesshomaru, but always missing by a centimeter because of Sesshomaru's fast dodging.

In Sesshomaru's eyes it was a sad sight seeing his brother in such low state. His red eyes blinded by hatred, sorrow, and disbelief. He knew his brother didn't know he was attacking him. And it was just his youkai trying to lift the pain that he has been burdened with. It was truly a heartbreaking sight. Inuyasha kept thrashing around over and over. Sesshomaru couldn't watch any longer.

He quickly fell back so he was behind Inuyasha and with one swift movement with his hand hit the back of his brother's neck, making him fall unconscious. His body fell to the ground and his movements limp. But his breathing became normal again, instead of the rapid intake of breaths. Sesshomaru walked over to the armchair and picked up tetsuaiga. After that he walked back over to his sleeping/unconscious brother, placing the rusty sword back on the belt.

Sesshomaru then walked to the doors of the study, following to the hallway, spotting a servant.

"Servant go tell the guards that my brother is lying in the study and needs to be taken to his chamber." The servant bowed and went to find the guards.

'Brother I promise that you will get your mate back.' The lord thought to himself staring down at Inuyasha.
