Inuyasha was sitting alone on the ledge of a window, looking out at the fortress he called his prison. The moment he felt Sesshomaru approaching him he was on edge immediately. He jumped down two floors and walked opposite the youkai, keeping the exact amount of distance between them. He wanted nothing to do with the youkai, he didn't want to see him until it was time to gut him. Sure, his stomach burned with hunger, but Sesshomaru had ruined food for him. Masane asked him to drink a tonic that eased the worst if it. He could only stomach that and water. He didn't even want to eat the fruits he'd come to enjoy.

"Lord Inuyasha. For how long must we wait for an audience." A council member spoke.

Inuyasha wanted to growl. He was so focused on avoiding Sesshomaru that he'd walked right into them. "Ugh, what do you want!?"

"We would like to speak to you regarding your relation to Lord Sesshomaru."

"Half-brother. Same father. End of story." He growled, feeling Sesshomaru getting closer. That's when it clicked. The distraction he was looking for. He turned to them. "A week. I'll answer your stupid fucking questions then." He jumped through a window as Sesshomaru rounded the corner. The youkai glared at the council, looking out the window and seeing a glimpse of the fire rat as Inuyasha darted away.

He had planned to continue to follow him around until he stopped uselessly avoiding him, but he'd heard what he said. He wouldn't be allowing Inuyasha to talk to them. He couldn't. His eyes narrowed at them, but nothing was said.

Inuyasha was out of breath as he found himself in what looked like a dojo. This place was large and too complicated. He looked around and could see many people looking at him. Since Sesshomaru was no longer following him, he felt like he could breathe a bit. "Milord are you alright? Should I call for a healer."

"M'fine, don't do anything annoying." He grumbled. Hiroshi took the lord in; he'd been away when the hanyou had been brought and had been told all sorts of stories about him and his behavior. He looked sick to him. That's when a few servants told him he was purposely starving himself and avoiding his mate.

They all lamented about the way Lord Sesshomaru was being treated by the hanyou, but Hiroshi was confused by that. If the hanyou was so opposed to being mated to Lord Sesshomaru, then why in the world were they mated? He wasn't one to question his betters, but it was clear to him that their lord forced this situation on the hanyou. He hadn't brought this up to anyone in fear of backlash, but he felt sorry for the hanyou. He'd nearly been marked against his will so he couldn't help but feel sympathetic. The youkai saw the way his hands trembled a bit but held back a frown.

As he finally calmed down, he looked at the youkai. "…what do you do?"

"I am in charge with putting new recruits through basic training and eliminating those that fail."

Inuyasha stared at him a moment before asking, "What's the point of making them stand like that?"

Hiroshi was a bit confused in what he was talking about before remembering the last time Inuyasha had seen them training. "All skills start with footwork. The stances help to solidify those foundations."

Inuyasha nodded. He still thought it was weird, but it made sense. He looked at the others in the room, most were watching them interact. "What are you doing here?"

"My own training with my peers." He explained.

"For what?"

"To keep on our toes and keep our skills from degrading." Hiroshi could tell that the hanyou was very curious. It was what first clued him in to the fact that he was very young. "Are you going to watch?" He could tell he was starting to finally calm from whatever panic he was in.

"You're not gonna get nervous?" Inuyasha asked looking at him.

Hiroshi didn't feel like a bug with the hanyou looking at him. His eyes were the same color as the lords but were a lot warmer. "Of course not milord, we're seasoned warriors." He said with a smile.

He rejoined them and they continued with their training. Even though servants set up an area for him to observe, he ignored them and sat on the ground with his knees pulled to his chest. He found this position to be the most comfortable. Like he was holding himself together. Their training was a lot more interesting. Hiroshi was pretty skilled, but he was sure he could take the youkai down with ease. He ignored the servants trying to get him to move from the ground. He felt his body pang with hunger again.

When they finished, it was later in the afternoon. Hiroshi made his way back to him. "Was it satisfactory?"

"…It was interesting." Inuyasha nodded.

"Thank you milord." He smiled. The hanyou didn't know why he was thanking him and stood up. However, he stiffened because Sesshomaru was coming this way. Inuyasha watched him enter and glared menacingly before leaving. Hiroshi was left shocked and could only bow to the king.

"What was Inuyasha doing here?" He asked coldly.

"Watching our training. He also asked questions about the recruit training he'd witnessed previously." He reported quickly. The youkai said nothing but continued on his way. Hiroshi felt his youkai untense when he left the area. He really felt bad for the hanyou.

Inuyasha found himself somewhere odd in avoiding Sesshomaru. It was dark here and he was looking around trying to familiarize himself with this area. It…was unnerving in this place. He made his way out, but Sesshomaru was entirely too close. He jumped up before falling down and landing heavily. He was expending too much energy with out replenishing it properly. He could feel his youkai tensing as he swayed a moment. He spent the better part of the day darting around and avoiding the youkai and others, eventually running into Masane again. He'd wandered into a building and there were a lot of guards and staff eating.

He held back a flinch when they all stood and bowed greeting him. "Eugh." He grimaced standing still since Sesshomaru had stopped moving towards him.

"Milord is there something you needed?" All eyes were on him as a servant questioned him.

He made a face, "Piss off." He said callously to the woman before flinching slightly when he felt Sesshomaru moving, however it was crowded. He began to move but they were in his way, and something grabbed his shoulder. "Don't fucking touch me!" He snarled at the person, turning and seeing Masane behind him. She watched his eye twitched and used her youki to help calm him a bit.

"Close that door." She said pointing at the one Sesshomaru would be coming through. Inuyasha wasn't well and he was making it worse. "Lock it." They did as she said, and she placed both her hands on his shoulders. "Calm yourself Inuyasha." Many seemed shocked that she addressed him without title. "You need to eat; it's making things worse for you." She could tell he felt exhausted. He had dark circles, and his face was slimming more each day. "He will not come in here. Have a seat."

Inuyasha hadn't realized he was panicking until he was starting to calm down. He found himself sitting down feeling embarrassed because of all the eyes. Masane handed him water and he drank it with shaking hands. "It will detriment what you wish to accomplish, and you know this."

He didn't say anything but felt nauseous at the thought of food. He could feel Sesshomaru slowly approaching. It felt gross and the nausea worsened. The hanyou was feeling exhausted that much was true. He couldn't remember the last time he'd willingly ate something. She left a moment and came back with food, setting it next to him.

"Masane surely you don't intend to feed servant food to the lord!?" One person exclaimed. It was simple salted raw meat. Inuyasha steeled himself, he couldn't let the youkai win. He hated how it was affecting him. He blinked a few times and was handed a tonic. He drank it and felt the nausea dissipate. Looking at the food again he bit his lip. He really didn't want to eat anything, his youkai urging him to.

His human half said nothing as he slowly brought the food to his mouth. Masane seemed to relax. Inuyasha felt his stomach begin to burn. That was familiar. That first bite after a long period of starvation. He started to think about the long harsh winters he spent alone, and his hands began shaking more. He continued to eat, thinking about his friends, his loved ones, and getting back to them.

Masane went to the door, opening and closing it behind her. Sesshomaru who stopped just outside, caught a glimpse of Inuyasha holding chopsticks and frowning. He was annoyed and hadn't expected Inuyasha to go into the servant canteen. He was getting a lot from the hanyou. Fear, panic, uncertainty. "Milord I must ask that you leave him be. He is already in a terribly fragile state mentally. Your presence and behavior are making it worse. He hurt himself because of your behavior, he can't stomach the sight of food because of your behavior, he behaves erratically because of your behavior. It may be hard to swallow your youkai, but you are causing him more harm and distress than necessary."

Sesshomaru said nothing, though he wanted to behead her, and turned to go to his office. He could feel Inuyasha slowly relaxing. His youkai was upset. What it really wanted was to hold the hanyou and sooth him, it was driving him mad with its behavior. He wanted to warn Inuyasha against associating with the council. He…couldn't let them near him.

Inuyasha sat in the canteen, many glancing and watching as he slowly ate what was given to him. Masane was pleased that she'd finally found a combination that worked on him for the nausea. His eyes were dull as he slowly chewed. His main concern was his human form. If he was already feeling bad as he was, there was no telling the effect it would have then. He needed to be as strong as he could by then. He had a week. A week before he could escape and try and find that woman. "I don't think I've ever wanted to kill someone like I want to kill him." He mumbled to Masane after a moment. "Not Naraku…not anyone…"

Masane held in her sigh, "Milord, please refrain from speaking in such a way in the company of others."

"Fuck them." He grabbed Tetsuaiga's hilt. He wanted to destroy this castle. He wanted to watch it burn to the ground. He wanted everyone to die here. He ate more of the meat, ignoring the other things placed by him. He didn't want to eat that. His mind went to the stew that Kaede had been known for. That would be delicious right now. Inuyasha could feel his body putting the nutrients to work immediately. It was desperate for it. The canteen slowly began to clear as people went back to work.

He sat there with Masane, who didn't speak and just sat enjoying the silence with him. She ended up walking him back to his room and watched him collapse onto the bed. When she closed the door, he felt Kilala walking on his back before curling up and sleeping. "Killing myself would be easier." He sighed softly looking down at the bedding. He felt Kilala come to snuggle close to his head and sighed again. "Yeah, you're right." He drifted off like that.


When he woke Kilala was gone, he looked around. He was positioned differently. That made him feel gross. He wondered how long he'd been asleep. He stood and went to the balcony. He needed the air. He became lost in his thoughts as he looked at the freedom he was missing out on. He thought about the last time he was trapped, before the sacred tree. He'd been captured by a slaver when he was small. He'd nearly severed his own leg trying to get away and what happened was that the slaver had fell trying to control him and the others tore him to pieces. His luck was unmatched when it came down to it.

He frowned as his plight washed over him. That's how Masane found him. Practically catatonic as he stared off into space. She frowned and wondered at the state of his youkai. Surely it would be more fortified than the human half. Being that he didn't have the Tetsuaiga next to him, she reached in her bag for a type of salt and held in under his nose. He jerked and his youkai took control immediately, snarling at her in anger. He attacked her immediately. She avoided him well though. She hadn't expected immediate violence and told a guard to sound an alarm.

The staff avoided the hanyou, who's energy was lashing out angrily. Higher ranking guards were set out to prevent him from harming the weaker staff. Masane followed behind and the lord appeared quickly. "What has happened!?" He growled. This state was unnerving. Inuyasha's youkai was volatile and unpredictable. His own beast whined, telling him that their mate was confused and distressed.

He looked at the silently watching healer, "He was catatonic. I wanted to check the state of his youkai to discern the state of his mentality. He is certainly more human than youkai." She mumbled, making a note for herself. The youkai darted off from the guards surrounding it. He began attacking them then as well. Trying to keep distance.

"Stand down." Sesshomaru stated. The guards all retreated, and he began to approach him. "Where is the Tetsuaiga?" He ordered for them to go and retrieve it. He continued to approach the hanyou who snarled at him. His youkai did as it wanted, trying to tell their mate that he wasn't going to harm him. He began to react violently, attacking him with all the might he could muster without Tetsuaiga. Soon the area was covered in claw marks and blood. Many watching guards were astounded by this. They thought the hanyou used the sword to make up for his weak human blood. He was still quite strong without it.

Sesshomaru continued to dissipate the attacks to keep the damage down. He was annoyed with Masane for doing this. Then Inuyasha did something he wasn't expecting. He suddenly stopped. It unnerved the youkai lord who tensed watching him. His head jerked to the side and Sesshomaru watched its eyes flash to a deep brown before returning. Then the attacks continued. He was making it hard to get close to him without harming him. "What in the world was that?" He heard Masane whisper behind him.

Tetsuaiga was brought to him, thankfully in the scabbard. He needed to get closer to touch the hanyou with it to subdue his youkai. Then Inuyasha noticed it and glared. It kept up the barrage of attacks eventually resorting to his own blood, shocking those gathered even more. He darted off, but he couldn't leave. He was trapped, caged. It made it feel crazier than it usually did like when the beads of subjugation were around his neck.

However, it got to a point where it didn't know what it could do to get away. It turned to see Sesshomaru and the healer, followed by quite a few guards. He growled, baring its teeth in warning but that pesky creature within him was fighting angrily with him. Those nearing him watched one of his eyes turn brown once again and he grabbed a blade. Realizing he was in an area used for butchering animals.

The youkai growled, unable to stop the other part from holding the blade to their neck. "Inuyasha stop!" Sesshomaru growled stepping forward but stopping when a bead of blood dripped from where the blade was pressed.

"Don't..you…fucking…dare…" They heard growled from Inuyasha. Although, they realized he wasn't talking to them. He seemed to be talking to himself.

"Go to sleep and let me handle it. I'm trapped because of you fucker."

"Fuck…you…"

Masane was so shocked she wasn't sure what to do. The salts she used, suppressed the conscious mind. Inuyasha began to laugh. "If any you come any closer to me, I'll end us both." He continued to laugh hysterically. They could see Inuyasha's other hand trying desperately to remove the blade from their throat. He took off again this time with a bright grin on his face and shocking the lord he cleared the wall and took off.

"Inuyasha come here!" He yelled after him. However, it didn't work and the hanyou continued on. "Follow him!" He shouted to his staff. The guards took off after him.

Sesshomaru growled at Masane, "What did you do!?"

"I only suppressed his consciousness. I don't understand what is happening to him." She stated, never having experienced what was happening.

Sesshomaru took off after the guards who were hot on Inuyasha's trail but felt things stop. He found his guards surrounding Inuyasha who lay passed out on the ground. "What happened?"

"We were following closely behind but he suddenly fainted." A guard reported. Sesshomaru was with him quickly, lifting him into his arms and feeling the rage and anger within the sleeping hanyou. The youkai could only sigh as he carried the hanyou back to the fortress. He didn't understand why he was able to leave in the first place. It didn't make sense. Especially when all other commands worked. This worried his youkai. Inuyasha was cleaned and placed in his bed. He really wanted to behead Masane for her actions.

Inuyasha blinked a few times and sat up looking around. He was confused about what was going on. He had just been on the balcony, but he was dressed differently and felt drained. His youkai informed him of what occurred, and he growled feeling gross. He pulled off the clothes and noted that Tetsuaiga was missing as he put his fire rat back on. He scowled and looked in the place they'd placed it before in the sitting room, but it wasn't there. He growled and began to tear apart the room. "Where is it!?" He shouted angrily. His youki beginning to spread out. He needed his Tetsuaiga. It wasn't in the room he'd just destroyed, and he stepped out of it shouting at the servants. "WHERE IS IT!? WHERE IS MY SWORD!?" They were clearly frightened, and many ran away from him.

Sesshomaru was informed of his waking immediately and looked at the sword that was set aside on his desk. This was one way to get the hanyou to speak with him. Inuyasha was about to begin destroying the castle piece by piece as he rampaged through the halls trying to sense it. It took Inuyasha stabbing a few kitchen servants and a guard to death for Sesshomaru to leave his office.

He'd been told that they were trying to calm him down and point him to the direction of the lord's office but had made the mistake of grabbing the hanyou who grabbed the nearest blade and began to furiously stab any and everyone he got his claws on. That wasn't like Inuyasha, and he was worried he was still in that state. When he arrived, a knife embedded itself in the doorway. Inuyasha was standing looking wild, covered in blood as a guard was standing before him and bodies were strewn about. "Milord. We don't have it. We are trying to tell you where it is. Please. Calm yourself, so you can think rationally." The youkai spoke and many scattered while Inuyasha's attention was on him. However, his youkai wasn't in control like he thought when he'd heard he stabbed people to death. His eyes were wild and unfocused yes, but they were still golden.

"Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru growled.

"You stole it…" Inuyasha glared at him angrily. The youkai said nothing as Inuyasha tensed looking at him. "You already stole everything else from me and you still want my sword." He whispered. The youkai felt unnerved by the way Inuyasha was looking at him. It reminded him of another time he'd seen Inuyasha, before the time of Naraku. He was slaughtering youkai and humans alike.

"Inuyasha calm yourself. It is in my office. It will be returned to you." Sesshomaru tried but Inuyasha began to angrily march up to him and then strike at him. The youkai was prepared for this, and the guards watched as Inuyasha continued to attack him. Going as far as grabbing the knife embedded in the wall and doing his best to stab him as well, managing to cut him in several places as he tried to control him. "Enough!" When he was finally able to put a bit of distance between them the kitchens had been destroyed. "If you want the blade you will come to my office and have a civil conversation with me like I know you are capable of."

Inuyasha felt his eye twitch. He didn't want to be in a confined space with the youkai. He didn't even know what day it was and was worried that his window to escape had come and gone. He was anxious and uncertain. He was sure that Sesshomaru would try and harm him again. Killing myself would be easier. He heard ringing in his head. Dying would be easier. It'd be so easy to die and take him with me. Sesshomaru was watching him and analyzing all of his emotions. The hanyou felt so much all of the time that it was unnerving. Then his eyes and markings flashed. It made the youkai tense. He didn't want a repeat of the previous day. He needed his sword. He couldn't live without it. Sesshomaru could see the knife trembling in his hands. "Inuyasha."

The youki's inner beast was suddenly screeching that Inuyasha was in an extreme amount of distress. The hanyou was just staring at him with wild eyes. He…didn't know if he was going to be able to deal with Inuyasha's mental state without Masane, whom he'd locked up because of what she'd done as a formal punishment.

I should just end it. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired.

Mom, I'm really tired.

He could be with her, he could be with Kagome. He could be with all of his friends who'd passed away. Was this really his breaking point? He couldn't wait for however long it took the new moon, especially if he'd missed it. He wanted to be free. The grip on the blade changed but his youkai took over immediately. He dropped the blade and dropped to his knees growling. It was furiously fighting the other half. I didn't fight for this life for it to end here! I won't die! I'll live on like they wanted me to!

He would take back his sword when it was time to escape. When Sesshomaru took a step towards him he stood, growling and slowly backing away. His eyes returned to their golden hue and Inuyasha snarled at him, "Stay away from me you fucking rapist!" He snarled, sending repeated attacks at him destroying the area even more. Those trapped in the room were doing whatever they could to escape the barrage, some were struck by the attacks leaving many wounded and some dead. The hanyou darted from the room, leaving Sesshomaru standing with his blood dripping to the floor where his fists were clenched. He was sick of this. He followed Inuyasha through the window, intent on punishing him for his behavior. When he finally caught up to him, he was behaving erratically and destroying everything within his vicinity. When he turned and saw the youkai it was clear that his youkai had taken over. It was angrily snarling at him.

His youkai screeched at him that their mate was distressed, and he needed to fix it. He was irritated. He couldn't allow Inuyasha to go around slaughtering his staff for a sword he was going to have returned to him. "Enough!" Sesshomaru growled, using his energy to make a point. He tried calming it in inu, but it was clear it wouldn't listen to reason much like its conscious self.

It took the entire area and then some being destroyed for him to finally pin the hanyou who began to fight even more viciously. He bit into his mating mark deeply, forcing him to still. Although, it was still growling at him angrily. "Stand up." The youkai did as he commanded, reluctantly. Sesshomaru took firm hold of his arm, "Walk." He was able to bring the hanyou back to his rooms. His youkai informing him of how anxious, and uncomfortable their mate was. It was still growling and trying to free itself from the command. Sesshomaru was tired. He pushed the hanyou down in the room and looked at him from where he stood. The youkai Inuyasha was fully expecting Sesshomaru to harm them again. What else could it expect from the being that had trapped them? Forcibly marked him and raped him. "You have 5 seconds to recede so I can speak with your true self, or else." Sesshomaru growled.

The youkai was looking at him in confusion. It couldn't let him hurt them. As Sesshomaru began counting down the distress and desperation increased exponentially to the point where his own youkai was screeching at him because of it. However, golden eyes looked at him in confusion, but he snarled and backed away from him. Cataloging his body. "You inane idiot. If you would like to retrieve the blade you will come to my office." With that Sesshomaru turned and left the room, slamming the door in annoyance. He still couldn't believe the hanyou managed to get him with a kitchen blade of all things.
