Revival chpt.7

"Now, son, remember, there is no such thing as invincible. Every opponent has a weak spot…" InuTaisho spoke to his youngest son as he wielded the Tessaiga, relishing the feeling. It had been a long time since he held such a magnificent sword; exquisite, yet fierce. "Just like a woman." He thought aloud.

"The fuck did you say?" In a nanosecond, Larika was in his ear for the third time that day. She had been behaving erratically and he knew why. After two centuries, he finally got to be with his son and his EX-wife had a bone to pick with that too.

"Mother, please, it is unbecoming of a queen to behave in such a manner." Sesshomaru escorted his mother back to where they were sitting, about fifty feet away from his brother. There Larika could brood in anger and wait for his father to say something so she could vent her frustrations out on him.

As they sat down, she began mumbling to herself again. "I knew he would do this. I knew it. He couldn't accept you for who you were so he did everything he could to change you. I admit I went along with the dressing like a girl thing until you were strong enough to fend for yourself….but that can't be the reason why-you didn't even like dressing like a girl! You have so many great qualities; you're intelligent, resilient, you've done wonders with governing the western lands…That man is the most narcissistic, condescending jackass I've ever met. He's just going abandon his wife, whom he NEVER divorced, and his son merely because he prefers men."

"Mother you're depressing me." Sesshomaru stood up, "I'll be back in a few minutes." As Sesshomaru walked off, Inuyasha decided it would be a good time to talk to him. He knew how Larika felt but his brother wasn't showing his feelings, a lot like the old Sesshomaru. However, the new Sesshomaru was a kinder, gentler person that didn't deserve to be hurt.

Sesshomaru sat down behind a tree about a mile from his arguing parents. He sensed his brother coming near him and sighed. "Hey." Inuyasha sat down next to his brother. "You OK?"

"I'm fine, just taking a break from my mother. She can be very hot-headed sometimes." He smiled.

"Actually I agree with her." Inuyasha admitted. "I'm so happy to finally meet my father and have him teach me like I always wanted growing up. But, you're his son too and he's obviously ignoring you. Is it because of the gay thing like Larika said?"

"Actually, my father has no problem with me being gay; it's more about me being the uke."

"The 'what'?"

"Never mind the terminology. It means I'm the submissive partner, the 'girl' in the relationship."

"Eew. I mean, 'Oh!' Wow. You know I actually kinda suspected that. So he's embarrassed cuz you're the girl in the relationship?"

"Yes. 'How can I be the feared leader of the western lands if I take it up the butt from a wolf-demon?'"

"Yeah, I see his point. Kouta was a wolf-demon?"

"Correct. He was next in line to be ruler of the Northern Lands."

"Cool. There could have been like a permanent alliance between the lands."

"That's what Kouta said, but father thought it would bring shame to our side of the family and make it look like we were dominated by the wolf-tribe."

"OK. Can you stop saying wolf-tribe, cuz when you put it like that, it seems like Koga is winning and then it makes me agree with dad."

"Sorry."

"Don't get sad, I'm just sayin'-"

"No, it's not you…Hypothetically speaking, if I was upset, would I have the right to be?"

"What do you mean?"

"You deserve time with father; you deserve a family just like I had. Wouldn't it be selfish of me to be jealous?"

"No, because dad is going out of his way to ignore you, he hasn't spoken to you all week. He's being a total asshole. I keep forgetting that the new Sesshomaru is soft and has feelings. It's like having a little brother."

"Ugh. What a stereotype. Inuyasha I had no qualms with training to become strong, I hated pretending to be a girl and was very eager to learn how to be strong enough to protect myself. I'm not a victim nor a 'damsel in distress' waiting to be rescued, I can take care of myself."

"I was just sayin-"

BAM!

In seconds the tree, they had been sitting in front of was destroyed. Luckily, Sesshomaru pulled his brother out of the way just in time. They landed on the branch of a nearby tree. When the dust cleared, they were shocked to find that the one that tried to kill them was their own father.
