Chapter 3

Slave of My own Friend

Inuyasha sped through the forest, leaving broken twigs at his wake, not caring where his legs will carry him, ignoring his protesting body. His only purpose was to get away.

Away from the pain.

Away from the abuse.

Away from Kagome.

It hurt. It always does no matter what he do.

To learn that the one you care and protect is disgusted from who he is, from what he is, from being himself, a half-demon. He had always thought that she accepted him, care for him even love him to some extent. But he was wrong.

So terribly wrong.

She didn't care for him. She only tolerate him from being their protector. She isn't concern with my well-being, she only does so she can sleep without to worry about the danger around her because she knew he was there to protect the pack. She didn't love him, she pity me for being a freak of nature. She pretends she care, concern for his life , love him for what he is. But he was wrong.

So terribly wrong. Again.

He is a slave and a dog to her that needs a leash to keep him in line. Only good for keeping everyone safe especially her as she is the only one other than Kikyou that can see the jewel shards therefore deem herself important but every time he disagree with something with her no matter how small it is or it was for their own protection because he can't protect them all the time she would use her power to saying only one word for him to comply.

'SIT'

But what really hurts more is that he expected.

There was always a glint of disgust in her eyes when she smiled at him or even a look at him you wouldn't even notice it if you don't experience it being directed at you. It was always covered with a sweet 'innocent' that could fool everyone. Everyone but him.

When he was injured after defeating who threaten his pack she's the one who always tend to his wounds. She was always quick and always made sure his wounds won't get infected or to make it worse. Because of his demon blood he could sense emotions who didn't have training to counter it or weaker than him. He could sense there was always that nervous aura with a hint of fear surrounding her. He always brush it off as fear for his well-being not wanting to face the all ignore this hoping that maybe just maybe it was temporary.

And now it came back to bite his ass off

After his mother's death he was always haunted by humans and hungry demons alike. He was always alone. He only had his older brother that he love and love him in return but unable to show it because it would only make him as a target who want revenge to his older brother but even now that he is stronger than a full demon he have to fight his beloved brother to prove his worth and it had cost his brothers arm and even then it's not enough.

Stupid, stubborn, old than dirt, bitchy council!

And then he met Kikyou. He love her as a sister. Only a sister. But he never got the courage to tell her afraid to face the consequences. To lose the only one to accept his company but in the end it only him to losing more than her.

His freedom. It's the only thing he have left.

Then again he didn't have much to begin with.

Life's cruel. It's always is.

Especially to a half-demon offspring that is a result between a demon loving a mortal. But he didn't blame them it's not their fault his life is shit because of his heritage.

Being born as he was, a half-demon, is always a blessing and a curse but it's more of a curse. Humans and demon alike always tried and kill him and he always escape in the nick of time causing him to get better and better from hiding. Thanks to his demon blood the wounds that are made ,who tried to kill him but failed, was healed enough for his beloved mother to see but he had a seeking suspicious that she already know without an evidence to prove it happen.

The demon blood give him power and strength to protect his love ones.

The human blood give him the will and the determination to fight. From preventing him to lose his sanity. To become a killer machine. A monster.

He always knew that he would never have a place to fit in because of his mix blood. To never have friends to protect, never have a mate to love, never have pups to cuddle with. Never to be accepted from being who he is.

Then she came. She showed him that he still could make friends that could careless about his blood. That it's okay to lean someone when he was at his weakest state. To be accepted.

She, Sesshoumaru and the others was the one who helped keep his sanity from falling apart and have for once a content life despite Naraku threatening the world with his evil schemes.

But she is different from the others whom had accepted his other half while she only accept his human side while treating his demon as a slave that needs a leash to keep him in line.

She hate his demon side but hide it with her innocent smile and fake but he always hope that one day she would come to his senses.

She never did and he was a fool to hope or rather wish.

He was pulled by his thoughts as he heard rushing water. His ear twitch ever so slightly at the sound. 'Must be a river nearby'. He turned and turned toward to the source. As he drew closer a narrow cliff came into view, a broken brigde hung uselessly at that other side but the gap is wide enough for him to jump to the other side but it will cause troubles for a human.

Inuyasha started to run faster gaining momentum as he ready for a leap.

Then everything went wrong.

It happen so fast it leave in a daze

The necklace suddenly glow and then it became heavy and heavier by the minute. By the time he realize what was happening it was too late. He fell in to the cold raging river.

'Fuck'

By the time the spell wore of he was almost out of air and tried to fight the current of the river but because of the damage done to his body it was no use soon he too was swept by the river. He lost consciousness when he hit a rather large rock, his body unable to take any more damage shut down being carried by the river.

Meanwhile..

A rather tall lean form walk across the forest. He carried himself with an air of dignity and power. He had long silver silky hair, pointed ears ,a moon face on his forehead and two stripe either side on his face on his forehead that symbolize his royal blood, two sword strapped at his side. He wore a white yukata with an armor at his chest with a yellow sash on his waist.

He walked without destination in his mind until he caught a familiar scent but at the same time slightly different.

With a frown on his face he started to follow it worry evident in his eyes that are carefully guarded.

'What trouble have you gotten yourself now baby brother.'
