Chapter 16 - Taming Inuyasha

Rokutsu paced around in his dark cavern, the blood still dripping from his lost arm.

"Are you sure you should be moving around?" Batsura asked but Rokutsu did not bother to reply.

Rokutsu started to walked deeper into the cavern and Batsura followed curiously. When they reached the core of the cave, Batsura sensed a presence, he looked around but saw nothing besides skeletons, though one particular skeleton caught his attention, its shape was different from the rest and it definitely looked larger.

"Rokutsu..." a voice boomed, Batsura shuddered but continued watching. "Your promise..."

"I know, I'll get him this time." Rokutsu replied

"You said that the last time...I revived you to get me the blood of the one who sealed me but you went off with your childish games."

"Childish games?" Rokutsu protested but was cut off by a loud roar

"I could easily kill you just as how easily I revived you. Now get me the blood of the great dog demon before I decides that I have no more needs for you."

"Fine." Rokutsu glared at the skeleton "But I cant do well without an arm." When Rokutsu spoke of that, his arm regenerated in a swirl of green lights. Batsura widened his eyes in amazement.

One week pass and no attacks from Rokutsu, Inu no Taisho stayed in the castle to protect his family eventhough he's itching to go out and search for Rokutsu himself but he knew that once he set foot out, the castle would be attacked. To add to his problems, he still have his demonic pup to worry about and a Sesshomaru who denied that he had problems and isolating himself from everyone.

Inuyasha was feeling better, he walked around the garden for some fresh air while his mother was away. Strolling along the dirt ground he stopped when he caught his brother scent. He walked towards the scent and saw his brother.

Sesshomaru was standing on the tallest tree in the garden, the wind blew his hair and carressed his skin. Sesshomaru had his eyes closed and was deep in thought when the wind brought along Inuyasha's scent, he looked down to spot his little brother.

"What do you want?" Sesshomaru frowned, irritated that his peaceful momment was disturbed.

Inuyasha was just staring back, he quickly looked away when he noticed Sesshomaru looking back at him. Sesshomaru leaped down and landed right infront of Inuyasha. Inuyasha backed away slowly, he wanted to bolt and ran but Sesshomaru held him by his arm.

"Why are you running from me?" Sesshomaru enquired.

"I didnt mean to bother you, I'm sorry, I'll go now." Inuyasha blurted out. He looked into his brother's eyes, it was unreadable which cause him more fear, his mind drifted back to when his brother had attacked him. Inuyasha remained silent.

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and studied the little pup's face while Inuyasha tried to squirmed away, Sesshomaru thought back of the day when Inuyasha turned demonic, he looked intensely into Inuyasha's eyes as if trying to search out his demonic side. Sesshomaru snapped out when Inuyasha managed to struggle out his grip and ran. Sesshomaru just stood there and watched Inuyasha ran, not bothered to chase after him.

Inuyasha ran, the feeling was back again, when Sesshomaru was looking in him, he had felt his demonic power rising and it scared him.

'Why did you run?' A voice in his head asked

"Go away!" Inuyasha shook his head hard

'He hates you and insults you, I could have killed him'

Inuyasha held his head, he kept running until he bumped into his father. Inu no Taisho looked at his son, worried etched on his face, he bent down and held Inuyasha's chin up to face him. A small flash of red swirled in Inuyasha's eyes then dissapeared, Inu no Taisho proceeded in carrying Inuyasha to his room, he sat him on his lap and patted his head. Inuyasha remained silent and still on his father's lap, he couldnt relaxed in fear of his demonic side taking over.

"Is it bothering you again?" Inu no Taisho questioned. Inuyasha managed a small nod, but said nothing.

"Relax." Inu no Taisho ordered as he placed his right hand on Inuyasha's forehead.

Inuyasha relaxed, he felt his father's demonic power invaded his and flinched at the feeling, the feeling was weird to him but he did as his father told as he trusted his father would made him feel better, after all, besides his mother, his father was his second safest place. He felt his father's power surpressing his, almost sealing his but not completely.

As Inu no Taisho was concentrating in surpressing Inuyasha's demonic power, a scream broke out from outside the room.

"Rokutsu! It's Rokutsu, Oyakata-sama!" Myouga leaped into the room frantically.

Inu no Taisho's concentration was broken and Inuyasha's demonic side decided to take this chance to get out before it was completely sealed, the sudden outburst had made Inuyasha let his guard down and his demonic side completely took over.

"Shit!" Inu no Taisho cursed as Inuyasha's eyes turned red completely and purple stripes started to formed on his cheeks. The little pup growled and smirked with his long sharp fangs, it flexed its long claws and bolted out the room.

Outside, a battle was already raged, guards were fighting off the four demons and Sesshomaru was caught in a battle with Rokutsu. When Inu no Taisho stepped out, he saw Inuyasha rushing towards Rokutsu but that was not all, the little demon pup was also trying to hurt Sesshomaru, he was trying to kill two birds in one go. When Inu no Taisho wanted to dashed towards the battle, Batsura appeared infront him.

"Oh no, not you, you're not going to interfere with their battle." Batsura smirked, making Inu no Taisho growled furiously. Inu no Taisho launched an attack at Batsura, slicing the demon in half but the remains of Batsura shredded into pieces and miasma shoot out from his remains.

"An Illusion?" Inu no Taisho looked around but couldnt see anything, the fog was thick and it was blocking his scent too. Inu no taisho frowned in frustration and took out Tetsusaiga, swinging it with kaze no kizu to blow away the miasma. When the fog settled, Inu no Taisho found himself in a desert ground with nothing but sand, in front of him stood Rokutsu, grinning as he held a sword and pointed it threateningly at Inu no Taisho.

"Rokutsu..." Inu no Taisho said under his breath

"Isnt this nostalgic? Remember our last battle?" Rokutsu laughed, tightening his grip on his sword. "except this time, you're the one to die!" Rokutsu charged at Inu no Taisho with a loud roar and their sword clashes.

Sesshomaru was fighting with Rokutsu when suddenly Inuyasha interfered their battle, clawing at both of them. The next thing he knew, he was just fighting with Inuyasha and Rokutsu was no where to be found. Sesshomaru noticed that the little pup had been consumed by his demonic side as he dodged Inuyasha's attacks. Inuyasha was just clawing recklessly at Sesshomaru, even when Sesshomaru managed to grabbed a hold of one of his arm, Inuyasha rather had his arm ripped off and still attack Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru let go off Inuyasha and leaped back. The two brothers stood their ground just staring at each other, anticipating each other's next move.

Inuyasha could wait no longer, he lunged at Sesshomaru and managed to lay a claw on Sesshomaru's fine, pale skin on the face. Sesshomaru was stunned by the little pup's agility but recover quickly. Inuyasha took a lick on his claws and smirked, he growled at Sesshomaru before launching another attack. Sesshomaru managed to dodged his attack and decided to launch his own attacks, his hand started to glow green, with one fast motion, he grabbed Inuyasha by the collar and raised his glowing hand. Despite his position, Inuyasha still smirked which annoyed Sesshomaru. As Sesshomaru was about to thrust his hands into Inuyasha's chest, he hesitated and Inuyasha took the opportunity to countered back with an attack. Inuyasha's claws stabbed through Sesshomaru's palm, leaving a hole there and the blood dripping on his face.
