IPOV (Inuyasha point of view)
I was here again. It looked the same as last time. The scene before me hasn't changed at all. There were still no people in the seats except for my brother, his fiancé Rin would have come but she apparently had things to do. My lawyer was yelling at the other lawyers and I was starting to nod off and it hadn't even been an hour yet.
"Bullshit and you know it." My lawyer yelled and jumped towards the other lawyer tackling him to the ground. This was the normal for demon court and it was actually pretty entertaining. I chuckled for a few seconds under my breath while the judge tried but failed to get the lawyers to stop fighting. After awhile he would just resort to using his demon powers to get things settled down. I turned my head to glance at my brother and saw that he was finding no pleasure in the fighting lawyers but he always looked like a bug just crawled up his ass and died so it wasn't surprising. Im sure he was tired of coming to these things this is only my third time in a courtroom for various things. Last time was the first time it was a serious offense though, Drug Dealing, the two words nobody wants to hear. Who knew that was such a big deal. Feh I could have done something worse. This time it was for attempted murder of a stupid mother-fucking bitch that deserved it. I won't go into it for it would only bore you to death.
I could tell that Sesshomaru was about to get up and leave if this didn't end soon. Finally the judge stood up and took the glove off his hand and shot a fireball out of the palm at the two judges. They weren't harmed sadly just a little singed. They went back to their sides of the courtroom and my lawyer immediately started talking first.
"It was self defense." He was trying to convince the judge. In demon court you didn't have a jury. The judge was all you needed. What he said was what was going to happen. If there were a jury in demon court then things would be even more crazy especially human people. The thought is just laughable having human people in a demon court. They would shit themselves. That would be funny to see but not something I would like to smell any day. It smells bad enough on the above ground railway system with the people that smell like animal piss and people piss sometimes their own sometimes not. Now there is a question. How and the hell do you get someone else's piss on you? Do they just go up to you and ask to piss on you. I would punch that motherfucker in the fucking face if someone ever tried to do that one to me and most likely I would end up back here for aggravated assault.
"My ass it was self defense" the other lawyer argued back. I shot him a glare but that didn't seem to faze him a bit. I didn't think it would he was a god damn lawyer for a reason if a little stare could make him shiver then im pretty sure he would be running away screaming by now because of all the glares ive shot him today. My lawyer looked on the verge of murder and I knew exactly how he felt. I had the exact same feeling 3 days ago that was the reason I was in this fucking courtroom in the first place.
"You both need to shut the fuck up" the judge yelled at the top of his lungs. Both lawyers jumped a little in the air. They apparently weren't ready for the judge to yell quite yet. The judge was the only scary person in the whole room he had the right to send me and the lawyers straight to hell if he wanted. I saw Sesshomaru's eye twitch out of the corner of my eye the only sign that he was still alive besides that he as still as a statue. The judge stared me down for a minute or two. I could hear everybody breathing in the room. I just wanted to know what was going to happen. Not knowing what is going to happen is the worst mother fucking feeling in the whole entire world. I could handle being beaten and shot and cut but not knowing was worse than physical pain. I could feel my insides start to turn like clothes in a washing machine and I didn't know how much longer I could go without puking on the floor. The horror on my face was plain to see. I like to portray myself as a tough guy and normally I am but this is the one situation where I still would like my mommy.
"Inuyasha I don't think this is totally your fault." My mouth dropped open did he just say what I think he did? I mean I almost killed someone and he thinks it's not entirely my fault. "But" not the damn but, there always has to be a but. "I can't just let you off that easy. I am sentencing you to 3 years with a chance of parole after 2 years in a prison for mostly humans and demons with minor crimes." I was already feeling better. I mean a human prison I can do. Hah I will rule that place with an iron fist. I will become top dog (no pun intended) immediately. This wasn't sounding too bad. "Court agerned."
I felt a tug on my arm and looked up to see Sesshomaru standing there holding it. It was a custom in demon court to have a final goodbye to your family because most of the demons that end up in court won't get to see them again. He didn't say a word but he looked me in the eyes and nodded his head and I knew that he was still here for me and he would be waiting for me when I got out. We had a pretty good relationship considering a few hundred years ago we hated each other guts and were out to kill one another. I saw him walk over to the only other person in the courtroom a little Kitsune kit named Shippo or as I call him, runt. He is my adopted nephew Rin and Sesshomaru adopted him about a year ago when he wound up on our doorstep cold and dying of disease. His mother left him at a nearby park and told him she would be back and never was. He stayed out there for 3 nights in the rain and snow waiting for her return. Finally when he couldn't take it anymore he followed the only other demon scent he could smell. I felt bad for the kid but he was in good hands with Rin and Sesshomaru. My brother could be cold to him at times but I could tell deep down he really loved the kid.
"Uncle Inu are you going to come back." Shippo ran over to me and jumped in my arms. After the event with his mother he didn't trust us when we left and said we would be back. He hung onto Rin wherever she went and even slept in her bed most of the time. Sesshomaru wouldn't share a bed with Rin yet since they weren't properly married. I'm not even sure they have had sex yet knowing Sesshomaru he was so uptight he probably couldn't get it up and disappointed Rin. I chuckled under my breath and Sesshomaru just raised an eyebrow at me obviously not finding anything amusing.
"Yes runt I will be back in about 2 years okay. I know that is a long time to you but when I get back you will be a big boy and we can do more big boy things." The 5-year-old little boy sniffled and wiped his arms trying to hold back the tears and act more grownup.
"Uncle Inu you said you would never leave me." This comment made me break and the tears start flowing down my face. I promised myself whatever I did today I wouldn't cry. I hugged the now crying little boy to my chest and buried my face in his hair just inhaling his scent so I wouldn't forget it. We just stayed that way for a couple of minutes until the demon guard at the door cleared his throat signaling time was almost up.
"Now listen to me buddy and listen good" He raised his head from my chest and looked me in the eyes. "I will never leave you" I said this as convincing as I could in a still wobbly voice from crying so much. Shippo shook his head up and down saying he understood. "Now you have to be strong for Uncle Inu because I need you to be strong enough for the both of us." He shook his head again and started to wipe the water from his face with his little fists. "I need you to take good care of mommy and daddy and that new puppy that daddy is going to buy you after you leave here." Shippo's face just lit up and he smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. That's the face I would remember for the next two years not the sad one but the happy one. Sesshomaru looked like he was about to murder someone until I turned around and set Shippo on the ground and he saw the smile on his face. As soon as Shippo was down on the ground and he gave me one last hug I turned and walked to the guard standing t the door. He just nodded his head and put me in cuffs. As I was walking down the hallway to the bus that was going to take me to the prison I smelt it. The smell that tipped my world upside down and I knew I had a journey ahead of me.
A.N. I though after some of the tension we needed a nice moment between Shippo and Inuyasha. See he does have his tender moments. Im sorry if the first few chapters were boring but I am hoping they will get more interesting after this. I am sorry this is up so late I am not going to try and make excuses but I was sick and this chapter was a hard one to write. It's a fact that my chapters get posted sooner if they just flow when I sit down to write it. This one didn't flow till about halfway through writing it so that's why its late getting up. Another big thanks to my beta reader Divine-Drgon you are just spectacular and a great friend. Without you this chapter would have sounded like a chicken with its head cut off wrote it and nobody would understand what I was trying to get out. I am so lucky to have a great friend like you to help me out. I just cant thank you enough.
From the Beta Reader:
Inu: so when are the readers' ganna learn WHY I tried to kill the guy? And why must you give them a break-off
Divine: That would be called a Cliff InuYasha. And the reason she did it was to give the reader suspense an…
Inu: I don't care what it's for I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY
