A/N: ELLO!


Oh My Gods! 27


...Recap...

"You..." Inuyasha's voice came out in a deep, bestial growl, making the boys flinch in terror. His eyes were still shielded by his bangs, but if they weren't, any one would recoil at the pools of blood red that would instantly devour them. "How dare you..."

The urge to sink his claws into flesh was overwhelming, but he couldn't lay a hand on these foolish children. Argh! What was he supposed to do to relieve the agony enveloping his heart?! The hanyou flexed his claws in warning and as a way to settle his growing bloodlust...anger was slowly consuming him...

...anger and hatred that had gradually amounted since his childhood...

And he could barely suppress it.

...End Recap...

"Inuyasha!"

Kagome's voice sounded distant, as though he was drowning in a wide lake and his ears were bombarded by water pressure. He couldn't understand what else she said. Her lips were moving, yet...

And suddenly, she disappeared--he was unable to track her. Her scent vanished right under his nose and was replaced by coppery blood. His vision consisted of a solid, thick wall of crimson while his surroundings ceased to connect him to the real world.

This was far from a killing field, however...

...but he wasn't transforming into a full demon, either.

Kill them, Inuyasha...kill those who have wronged you...show them who you are... They're whelps who need to be punished...no one should hurt you, Prince Inuyasha...

Abruptly, a deep, lulling voice in his head whispered to him, told him to end the lives of those who had hurt him. He shouldn't allow those fools to rise up against him, right? The rumbling voice was not familiar...it wasn't his own...whose was it? Where did it come from?

Spill their blood, my prince...for your claws yearn to drip in blood...the smell is invigorating, isn't it? Yes...fill your senses with it... Your precious blood is all the sweeter...

Yet...it was right. Inuyasha needed to bathe his claws in blood, sate his raging nerves and furious thirst. A smirk crawled on his face... At this point, he didn't care whose blood was shed. Hell, the desire to rip into anything was incredible! It was...it was amazing--refreshing!

He'd start clawing at himself to relieve this massive desire...he'd shed his own blood...

Yes...and he would enjoy it.

Just do it...hurry! Kill them...shed blood, any one's blo--

However...a pair of hands then grasped his and he ceased to hear the enchanting voice.

Instantly, the crimson cleared away to reveal the alley and his fiancée's relieved expression. His nose no longer registered blood but her sweet scent, soothing his senses and drawing a contented hum bordering on a growl from him. It was as if her touch dissipated the malicious voice that had slowly taken over his mentality...purified the evil in his soul and balanced his youki once more.

He was plainly shocked--what the hell just happened to him?!

"Kagome..." Inuyasha was caught between hugging her, kissing her, or just standing there, but he soon remembered why he was in this predicament in the first place. His golden amber eyes widened as he glanced around the alley. "W-Where's...?"

The boys weren't in sight.

"I called the police on them; they made a run for it. They didn't get far, though," she replied solemnly, and her eyes drifted towards the bundle of sordid fur across from them. "But the damage has already been done."

The miko refrained from commenting on his momentary loss of sanity, much to his relief. Yet, he could smell the stench of death lingering in the air...the pup was not yet done fighting, but the scent was still there waiting to prey upon its fragile body...

Heh, he was a demon god--he constantly defied death.

Inuyasha knelt beside the immobile puppy and nearly retched. It was mangled, broken... If he were anything but an immortal god, he'd say the whelp was hopeless.

"Don't die on me, pup...hang in there..." I did, and so can you.

Kagome joined him and noted the pup's labored breathing. "She doesn't have much time left..."

He didn't need to be told twice. His right hand settled over the unconscious pup, and he concentrated on his core of energy, withdrawing from it in order to heal another living creature. The appendage soon glowed a soothing gold with the odd red spark here and there, enveloping the pup as well as he worked thoroughly to rescue her.

His fiancée watched intently and braced herself for the outcome.

Soon enough, he reached the limit of his expanse of energy and recoiled, feeling immensely weak with limbs seemingly composed of jelly. Inuyasha panted and blinked away the spots clouding his vision--now was not the time to faint, dammit!

However...the pup's paw twitched. Her nose twitched. Her furry tail moved.

And her milky blue eyes slid open...

"She's blind!" Kagome gasped, biting her lip in response to the moisture gathering in her eyes. How could any child torture a blind puppy? That made their act all the worse! I thought kids were supposed to love animals!

She could only wonder what kind of upbringing those morons had...

Inuyasha said nothing, but his fiancée could tell he was lost in his own thoughts. Though, she never expected to see a shining trail of...his cheeks were...

He was...crying...

'You think being a hanyou is a piece of cake? That just because I'm a prince, everything for me is easy? Well, dammit--IT'S FUCKING NOT!! I used to get bea--'

The memory of their first heated argument sprung before her eyes. She instantly filled in the gaps the hanyou had purposely omitted and her lips parted in gape. He used to get beaten... This whole ordeal managed to tear open old wounds...he was reminded of his painful childhood...

He used to get beaten...

Oh gods...

"Inu..." Kagome trailed off and shook her head, sighing to calm herself. It wasn't the right time to bring her conclusions up to the surface. He wasn't in the mood to talk about it, or how he nearly sunk into a killing spree. Later. She would ask later. "Maybe R-Rin can finish healing her..."

Even so, it was impossible to keep the tremble out of her voice...

Inuyasha nodded after a long while, and with an expression devoid of emotion, he scooped the exhausted pup into his arms prior to standing on his feet. He swayed, though Kagome steadied him. Healing the puppy's entire body, as well as her bones--it involved multiplying and healing billions of cells--had taken a heavy toll on him.

But...his haggard eyes soon met his fiancée's. The hanyou didn't bother wiping away his tears either, which surprised Kagome--she imagined that he would hastily hide the evidence of his inner pain and brush it off with a 'keh'.

Yet...his vacant amber eyes stared through her, unseeing and unfocused.

It terrified her because he was in his own haunted world where she couldn't reach him...

...and she could do nothing about it.


It was three o'clock in the morning and Sesshoumaru couldn't sleep. He wasn't very tired and sleep was a luxury for demons, not a necessity, so it didn't really bother him. But Rin was sleeping soundly beside him...he rather not rouse her especially when she had used a lot of energy earlier in the day. Therefore, he silently stood from their bed and headed towards the living room, bringing along his latest business magazine to read for the next...three hours or so.

No big deal.

However, on his way to the living room, he noticed a light turned on in the kitchen. After further inspection, he saw that Inuyasha was also awake. The dog demon sighed and decided to keep him company--he could fathom why sleep eluded the hanyou.

"The wall will crumble if you continue to glower at it, Inu-whelp."

Inuyasha kehed, though not with his usual arrogant vigor. He hardly minded that his brother took a seat across from him at the kitchen table. "What are you doing up?"

"Obviously I woke up to waste my time here with you." The hanyou rolled his golden amber eyes, which were conspicuously...red and puffy. "I couldn't sleep."

"Too much coffee, bastard?" It was uncanny how many cups of the addictive dark liquid the immortal consumed in a day... Geez, he suffered through withdrawal if he was deprived of it!

"Perhaps not enough," Sesshoumaru replied with a smirk. Rin would kill him if she heard him; she miserably failed to wean him off of it. The teen detested coffee, yet still managed to retain energy to be a psychotic maniac. How was she so damn energetic?! "I assume your brooding won't allow you to rest."

"Yeah, well..." A good comeback slipped from his grasp. His tired mind refused to work properly, he surmised. "Hmph, whatever."

"I regret it, you know..."

"Regret what?" Inuyasha cocked his head and knit his brows in confusion. His brother currently wore a pensive expression, as though he was reminiscing about a time he truly felt remorse over.

What is he talking about? There weren't many things Sesshoumaru regretted--heck, was he even capable of repenting? Did he steal cookies from the cookie jar? Ah, Kagome's cookie jar to be precise. She was ruthless when it came to protecting her precious bounty...

The silver-haired immortal sighed and explained with a frown, "This isn't something I want to talk about; more like I want to forget it."

"Ok, so why are you opening your mouth then?" He never asked for him to come over and start spewing crap. Staring blankly at the wall was a good past time...

"Because I feel you should know, little brother, that I regret not aiding you when you needed me the most."

"Huh? What the fuck are you implying?" Inuyasha refused to accept they were thinking along the same lines...no, impossible! The bastard had lived a happy childhood ignoring his younger sibling!

"You know very well what I'm referring to," Sesshoumaru said, briefly shutting his honey eyes to the memories he wished to destroy and bury. "What occurred today made you relive your childhood...how you were beaten behind Father's back...how you never spoke about it..."

"And how in the hell did you find that out?" Inuyasha's tone of voice was vehement.

The older dog demon never gave a rat's ass about him as a pompous whelp. He spent the days glaring at him and wishing him dead. Scorning him and sneering how he deserved all the pain the world.

Well...he received his wish. The hanyou suffered immense pain...pain a child should never bear...

Yet, no one knew this burden except for his mother and she was deceased. No one had the memories to recall the days he spent locked in his room crying his heart out because he refused to endure beatings not only from his 'playmates' but from their parents, as well.

Sesshoumaru wasn't special--he shouldn't know about his early life unless he...

No...!

"You used to spy on me..." Inuyasha's eyes widened as realization dawned on him. "You goddamn bastard! You fucking watched me get nearly beaten to death and you did nothing!" What kind of sick motherfucking asshole would do that?!

"This is what I regret, brother." The subject was hard on Sesshoumaru. Even though his expression hardly changed from unemotional, his dark amber eyes revealed his inner struggle with past events.

But his hanyou brother was on the brink of strangling him! How dare he show his face as though it was nothing!

Being an idle bystander and watching an atrocious deed in the act was just as bad as performing the deed itself! What the fuck was he--a damn stick?! No! Sesshoumaru had limbs and claws and power and poison and...and...shit! He could've...the bastard could've spared him incessant grief and pain!

He could've!

And yet...he chose to do nothing.

"I acknowledge the fact that I was in the wrong," Wow, he's finally admitting he made a mistake, Inuyasha bitterly thought as the dog demon continued to express his guilt, "even more so when I led you to believe our father always saved you in the end."

His words almost paralyzed the hanyou, but he needed clarification. "I don't understand what you're trying to tell me." Please don't let it be what I think it is... He yearned to step off the emotional rollercoaster he was forced on--what he didn't know couldn't hurt.

Sesshoumaru cursed himself for starting this conversation. Hell, he cursed Rin for thawing his frozen heart and allowing these...these hideous emotions to envelop him! He hadn't felt guilt or remorse in years and it was foreign to him!

Well, he began this and he will end it because he was no coward.

Hopefully.

"After each time you were beaten and passed out, you always awoke in your mother's arms or in your bed. Have you never wondered how that was possible since you were unconscious?"

"I assumed that...Dad..."

"Inuyasha, Father was busy...every single day of our lives, he was busy. The only time we ever saw him was when he trained us." Something in his tone of voice told the other occupant of the kitchen just how much Sesshoumaru despised that aspect of their father.

"So you're saying that he...?" It was difficult to comprehend what his brother was saying. So, all his life...as a young pup...he had wished for his role model, his father...and his hero was a lie. He had loved his father dearly because he rescued him from the people who hated him!

What was he supposed to think now? Was he supposed to detest his father? No, it was impossible.

Sesshoumaru resumed his speech after a short pause. "He never saved you...I believe he knew about your strife with the village children but never had the time to do anything. I made sure you returned home in one piece. I intervened once you were not able to notice me do it."

"Why...?" Inuyasha managed to croak, swallowing the lump in his throat. He raked a clawed hand through his bangs and watched his brother sigh in frustration. This conversation was becoming more and more tiresome by the second.

But why had he allowed his younger brother to believe that their father was his knight in shining armor? Why had he even bothered to save him in the first place? He swore Sesshou-bastard had hated him enough to allow someone else kill him!

"Every child needs their father or a male role model at some point in their lives. You were deprived of him when you needed him the most. Besides, after a while it became difficult to watch my brother, someone who shared my blood, struggle for life alone. It was pack instinct."

It seemed adequate enough...he could mask his concern for the hanyou while letting him believe their father always came to the rescue. He maintained his charade of hating the half-breed while still coming to his aid in the end.

Perfect...the plan was perfect.

Until King InuTaishou unexpectedly died.

Inuyasha had exclaimed in anger, "I hate you! You're not my brother! You're nothing like Dad! He always saved me! He made it stop! But you...you probably don't even know what I'm talking about. Hmph, comes to show what kind of brother you really are."

After that...Sesshoumaru despised him even more. The half-breed was an ungrateful mutt! How dare him! If only he knew that their father actually did nothing of the sort and his silver-haired hero was the same brother he hated!

Hmph, the dog demon was not the only one recalling the event that was a turning point in their lives...

"You had your own battles to fight, ya know," Inuyasha muttered, staring blankly at the wooden kitchen table while remembering his brother as a young pup, "you needed Dad, too."

Sesshoumaru's lips pursed into a thin line. He knew what the hanyou was alluding to: his issues with his estranged mother. The fact that Meimori made sure his life was a living hell. How he was constantly scorned by his uncle and was never truly accepted by fellow demons since they perceived his solemn personality as self-conceit.

As they both pondered it, the brothers silently consented that their childhoods weren't very different from each other's. In this way, they related for the first time.

"I came to terms with it. He liked you best, anyway."

"That's not true!" Inuyasha protested, sitting straight in his seat. "Dad always bragged about you! How you're obedient and loyal and--"

The older dog demon shook his head. "My mother, Inuyasha. Father loathed my mother." And he looked remarkably like her, which added salt to the wound. As much as he tried, his father could never stop seeing her in his eldest son.

Inuyasha deflated, knowing he couldn't argue against the somber declaration. He soon broke the tense silence overbearing them. "Well...the past is the past." Dammit, he was getting misty-eyed again! "Let's leave like that--no more regrets, no more pain, and whatever other shit we're feeling."

Sesshoumaru seemed grateful for the change and nodded. "For once we agree, Inu-whelp."

"Yeah, whatever!" The hanyou huffed, though one corner of his lips involuntarily quirked. "So, what inspired you to start blabbing all of a sudden? It's not like you sat under a waterfall and meditated, right? Not even Miroku does that crap and he's the monkiest of us."

Monkiest? Is he incapable of just referring to him as a monk instead of the monkiest? The older demon shook his head. "Rin can only bear me hanyou heirs and I will accept them no matter what. I should at least practice with you."

Wow...Sesshoumaru was admitting that he was...he was insinuating that Rin and him...! Oh my gods, he's going to take her as his mate! He's going to have pups with her! With all these new revelations, Inuyasha might start to spasm on the ground in shock! Holy shit! I'm gonna be an uncle one day!

"Keh! My future brats ain't hanging out with yours 'cause I still hate you, bastard." Yeah, I should keep lying to myself. He knew hate was too much of a strong word to describe their current sibling relationship, as much as it changed in the past ten minutes.

And what future brats?! He wasn't having kids with Kagome!

Err...

"Likewise," Sesshoumaru replied with a smirk. "Your moronitis will infect my pups as a result. I can't let it combine with Rin's psychosis, now can I?"

"Uh huh. I should just stand back and watch you spread your bastard-infected fleas. You disgust me."

"Stop describing yourself, little brother. Seriously, I have pamphlets for puppy school if you want to borrow them. Just so you know, a prerequisite is a stick shoved up your ass."

Inuyasha returned his brother's smirk. "Hey, that means you're ready to be enrolled!"

"I've been attending for months and you've only noticed now? I pity you."

"Yeah, well--!"

"Bark! Bark! Bark!"

The two brothers turned to the kitchen entrance to see a mop of white fur rushing towards them. It was the puppy Inuyasha had rescued earlier, all patched up and sight regained thanks to Rin's incredible healing energy. Though, Sesshoumaru was still a bit peeved that she fainted afterwards...

The puppy with big, glittering sapphire blue eyes stared up at her savior as she sat obediently on the ground, tongue lolling in and out of her mouth. Her ears perked up at the smile he shot her. "Bark! Bark!"

His smile faded once he translated her happy bark to...

...Mama Yasha.

"It seems you've made me an uncle, Mama Yasha," Sesshoumaru commented, smiling deviously. "Hn...Mama Yasha...it suits you."

"Shut the hell up!" A bright red blush blooming in his cheeks betrayed his unaffected appearance. He had tried telling the pup that he wasn't her mother or anywhere near it, but she wouldn't understand! She could at least call him Papa Yasha!

Yet...

...if she thought he was her mother...then he wasn't their pack leader. Dogs formed packs since wolves were their ancestors, and in the pack, one of them was deigned a leader--the Alpha. Usually it was the strongest, most clear and stable canine in the pack.

The highest rank he could be in the hierarchy now was an Alpha Female...

The puppy cocked her head at 'Mama Yasha' and turned to an amused Sesshoumaru. He seemed happy, too! Yay! "Bark! Bark!" Oh, his amusement vanished.

"No fair! How come you're the Alpha?!" Inuyasha wanted to be the Alpha, dammit! He didn't want to be known as Mama! "Keh! Stupid Papa Maruru..." It was only because he drove the car that had brought the puppy home! Hmph!

Ew…that meant...the bastard was his... Mama and Papa... Alpha Male and Alpha Female... Ew!

They were not mates!

"It should be Papa Maru, without the extra -ru." The dog demon frowned and gazed down at the expectant pup. He growled low in his throat as he made the correction known to her. She presented him with a doggy grin after she understood.

"Bark! Bark!"

"Now she made it Papa Momo, Sesshou-bastard."

"Souta would appreciate an early Christmas present. How about I drop her off today?"

"Nope."

Sesshoumaru sighed. "At least I tried."

"Good morning, guys!"

"-yawn- I think the puppy peed on the carpet."

Inuyasha winced--he was responsible for the puppy so he was supposed to clean it up.

Kagome and Rin entered the kitchen, rubbing the sleep out of their eyes as they took a seat beside their respective fiancé. The puppy was excited at all the commotion and ran around in circles...until she noticed her tail and tried to bite it. Well, it kept her busy.

"Has any one made breakfast yet?" Rin sleepily asked, leaning her head on Sesshoumaru's shoulder, much to his covert satisfaction. "I'm so hungry I can eat just about anything..."

"Like your children with Winnie the Pooh?" He couldn't help it--she had the weirdest dreams ever! Except for Kagome's dream about evil dust bunnies and watermelons kidnapping bridegrooms...no one could beat that.

Rin glared at her fiancé. Three in the morning wasn't her favorite time of day. "I hope you know that I can make a weapon out of almost anything. This ordinary tablecloth will transform into the Tablecloth of Destruction--it will whip your ass and smother you to death."

"I already had a taste of the Skillet of Doom, Receipt from Hell, and the Pillow of Demolition--I don't need any more from you."

"Don't forget the Slipper of Death; Kagome lent it to me once."

"..."

"Why the hell do we have a tablecloth if we don't even use it?" Inuyasha stared pointedly at the wooden table in front of him, which was not covered by the dark green cloth Kagome's mother provided for them a week after they moved in.

The poor thing was folded in a neat pile to the side of the table...

"Because it looks nice folded," Kagome said, daring him to challenge her.

"But--"

"Shut up."

"What--"

"Shut up."

"Hey--"

"Shut. Up."

"Keh!"

"Anyway..." Rin poked Sesshoumaru's muscular arm, testing it for comfort. He only stared at her as if she suddenly grew five arms and five noses. "Have I told anyone that I'm starving? Sessh, why don't you make breakfast for us, hm?"

"Hells yeah! I'm gonna eat the table if I don't get food soon, bastard!" Of course, Inuyasha owned a bottomless pit instead of a stomach...

"We're not eating at three in the morning," Kagome firmly stated, earning a round of groans from the two I'm-so-hungry-I-might-eat-the-table friends. "So, what was the topic of conversation before Rin and I interrupted?"

Surprisingly, both brothers swiftly responded, "Sex."

Ahem...

"Um...ok..."

"Geez, you two act like we didn't hear you talking." Rin never noticed her best friend rapidly shaking her head, divulging not to expose them. "Poor Yashie had a bad, bad, bad, bad childhood...like me!" She was half-asleep--cut her some slack!

"I warned you not to eavesdrop on people's conversations, wench!" Inuyasha glared at his fiancée in particular, whom he knew was the leader behind the entire escapade. "Curiosity killed the cat!"

"I'm not a cat and I wasn't curious!" A skeptical glower met her and she sighed in defeat. "Ok, maybe just a little. But with good reason! I was worried about you!"

The hanyou smirked. Worrying over him had probably tortured her the entire day. Telling her to stop was like forcing a nicotine addict to quit smoking in an hour. "You have to stop worryin' so much, wench. I'm fine."

"I know that now, duh."

"Damn wench..."

"Stupid jerk..."

"Chicken crap!"

"Pig crap!"

"Mine's better!"

"Nah uh, pig crap is worse!"

"Chicken crap stinks worse!"

"Horse crap tops chicken crap!"

"Fuck...now that was a good one..."

"Ok, I'm officially grossed out," Rin yawned, wrapping her arms around her fiancé's torso while snuggling into his side--his eye twitched because he didn't know what she wanted from him. He was terrified of her cranky self... "Kags and I were talking and we decided to hound you--yes you, Mama Yasha--on today's events."

"Rin!" The miko couldn't understand why she spoke at the most inconvenient of times! She wasn't supposed to open her big mouth yet! So what if she was tired and her judgment was impaired--beds were invented for that reason!

Inuyasha merely rolled his eyes. He pushed the past aside so it wasn't imperative for people to walk on eggshells around him--ugh, he hated it, actually. "What do you nosy wenches want to know?" He tried his hardest to sound as though it wasn't a painful subject.

As he mulled over it, he decided it virtually wasn't. Nah, he wasn't going to linger in the past when he couldn't do anything to change it. Onward to the future!

"Nothing really--" Kagome's plan was once again thwarted by a very talkative Rin.

"How you almost embarked on a death rampage. Kags said your aura changed color to black and it felt very ferocious and evil. I think it's cool!" She was nearly falling asleep on her fiancé, so her words weren't very credible.

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and directed his gaze to the surprised hanyou. "Is this true, whelp?" He received a tentative nod. "This isn't good..."

"What do you mean, 'this isn't good'? I'm walking in circles here!" The hanyou god was confused; usually auras were not supposed to change colors unless... Perhaps his balance of demonic, human, and immortal youki was tipped in his demonic favor...?

Like his father had warned in the dream he had a few months ago...

"First let me ask you a question." Inuyasha shrugged and his brother continued. "Was there a voice in your head?"

Kagome faced her fiancé in order to see his reaction, feeling befuddled and shocked. A voice in his head? Where in the world did that come from? The hanyou, however, didn't deny it. Whoah...what the heck is going on here?! No one told her anything, dang it!

"Are you saying I'm crazy, bastard?"

"Answer me."

"Fine! Yeah, there was. It was a guy with a deep voice, almost like Uncle's. He kept telling me to kill those who hurt me...shed blood or shed my own blood... It was really weird." It was not something he desired to recall--he shivered just thinking of it.

"Cool..." Rin mumbled, completely out of it. "I used to hear voices, too...they told me to kidnap Winnie the Pooh...I ate our children... Mmm...honey..."

Sesshoumaru's eye twitched again, but he ignored her. "I assume you ceased to hear the voice once you were conscious of your miko."

"...um..."

"In other words, after Kagome touched you, did everything become clear again? Your sense of smell, sight, hearing, your mind and the sort?"

"Pretty much."

"Hn." Sesshoumaru refrained from elaborating, though. He abruptly stood up and gathered a dozing Rin in his arms prior to exiting the kitchen. His departures should win a prize for being so brisk.

Poor Inuyasha and Kagome were left with cocked heads and distorted expressions. They didn't understand the dog demon...no one could...or maybe Rin did the few times she was sane enough to tell the world. It wasn't very often, sadly.

But both realized one certain aspect of his strange behavior.

Sesshoumaru knew something they didn't.


A/N: END! Very random ending. I just wanted to end the chapter already instead of dragging it out. Hmm...Sesshoumaru has a secret! WOOT! Wow, Sessh, what a nice way to end it for my birthday. I better get my permit tomorrow or else.Next chappie: MORE PLOTTING! I wonder what Meimori has up his sleeve... and what's this? EVIL HAS BEEN AWAKENED! And we're moving forward a few months! Next chappie will be set in February to make the 'romance' more realistic! I mean, come on, you don't fall in love in like a day.
