Sesshomaru looked at his former advisers with nothing but contempt in his eyes, then to the silent criminal who was guarded. This criminal, however, was not Bakuri who’d been sentenced and had met his end. For 2 weeks now, there have been several attempts on the lives of his old advisers while confined in their homes. They had only just now been able to capture one of the perpetrators.
“Who sent you?” The woman said nothing and only stared at him. Causing Sesshomaru to growl. “I detest repeating myself.”
“I do not remember. Our memories are wiped of everything aside from our target. That is all I am certain of.” She spoke quietly. She held no fear or worry in her scent.
“Milord, she is clearly connected to Inuyasha. He is sending hits on our lives!” Aomori exclaimed, fearful as he already knew he was on thin ice. He looked to his former lord Touga hoping the man would speak up on their behalf.
Sesshomaru pinched the bridge of his nose, silencing the room. The lord had been doing his work from his mother’s castle when he was called because of these incidents that were increasing rapidly. He looked over to his mother who scoffed, “If Inuyasha wanted to kill you I’m sure he’d do so by his own hand.”
“My mother is correct. Lock her in the dungeon pending trial.” Sesshomaru stated with a scowl. “Bring Miyatsu in.”
The human business owner was then brought in. He had not been beaten this time as it was a formal invitation to his castle. He walked in with his son and a few bodyguards close behind him. “My lord?”
“Do you know why people are targeting them...? I know you have connections to the underground…to Inuyasha and his past.”
Miyatsu laughed at that. Sesshomaru glared. To think a human bold enough to laugh at him. “You have gone against the single most influential person in the underground since Ryuukoutsusei. That is not an exaggeration.” Miyatsu looked at his nervous son, who he hadn’t been able to claw off of him when he was summoned. He patted him on the back to comfort him. “My family owes Inuyasha, several, life debts that will never be repaid so long as he lives. And there are many others who are the same.” Miyatsu looked up at the demon on his throne. “Those in the underground proper, are honorable. They do not turn their backs on one of their own, nor do they allow them to be harmed without consequence. So, I’m sure, they’re going to do whatever in their power to repay those debts. ” His eyes found Lady Tsukihime. “Milady, Inuyasha speaks highly of you. Thank you for caring for him.” He looked back to Sesshomaru, then his former advisers. “I assure you. You are not ready to face what you have started. The underground will have its revenge, whether Inuyasha wishes for it or not. That is the nature of the underground proper, or so I’ve been told.” Miyatsu finished off with a smile making sure to distance himself from the underground so he couldn’t be arrested.
Miroku glared at lord Sesshomaru from behind his father. He’d only seen Inuyasha once since the man left his family’s care. He wondered if Sesshomaru knew that he’d gotten his youkai back. “Father, we still have business to attend to.” Miroku muttered behind him.
“If that is all my lord, may I be on my way? I would hate to miss my investors meeting.” Miyatsu bowed low when he and his were dismissed.
“What kind of criminal has Inuyasha become?” Touga asked as they left.
Sesshomaru said nothing as he thought about how to handle this unprecedented situation. “Take them back to their homes.” Sesshomaru waved and the two remaining advisers were seized and taken back to their estates. He stood and headed into the main castle. He couldn’t be around his father still and it made him think of Inuyasha and how when last they saw each other, Inuyasha couldn’t even stand to look at him. It made his chest ache.
He was tired as well. He found it hard to sleep at night because he would be plagued with thoughts of what if. What if Inuyasha hadn’t broken up with him? What if he’d agreed and they’d gotten married and mated? Would he have believed Inuyasha? Probably not if he were honest with himself. Life had been going too well for him not to have been suspicious. He’d already been suspicious of the man but had been pushing that away in favor of his youkai’s connection to the man. They’d both destroyed their trust in one another in many ways. Sesshomaru wanted to reconcile with the man but doubted the possibilities of that. Even if they weren’t romantically involved anymore, they were still family, and Sesshomaru wanted to have him in his life.
He walked through the halls with his father still trying to talk to him about his mother who’d left the castle in favor of her own after the meeting. “Sesshomaru, son, just speak to me. This isn’t right or fair to anyone.”
“Life is not fair.” Sesshomaru mumbled before his eyes widened. Inuyasha had said that to him when he left. Life really wasn’t fair. Sesshomaru stopped his stride and sighed openly in front of his father who looked at him with surprise. “Father. I have no wish to see or speak to you and yet you continue to bother me. Let me alone. Afterall, did I not learn that I was robbed of my childhood because of your own misguided fears. Regardless of the circumstances, to take a child from their mother when no harm or abuse has befallen them is wrong. You are wrong, and you cannot even admit such after realizing it. You are behaving like a child that has been caught doing wrong. You cannot even apologize to your own child without trying to shift the blame upon someone else. I do not have the patience nor desire to listen to your misguided truths.” With that Sesshomaru continued through the halls. There were things in his office that he needed before returning to his mother’s palace.
Touga stood alone, taken aback.

The loud purring of the motorcycle made him feel alive. Eyes and marking flashed as the hanyou increased his speed through the streets of the city. A doctor confirmed him to be right as rain a few days after he’d become whole again. His youkai half was currently in charge of everything while his human consciousness took a seat in the background. They switched off like this yearly to avoid issues, last year had been the human’s turn. Inuyasha growled as he shot forward. He was on the way to the new Tilt-in location, which had been moved as it was around that time as well. It kept undesirables out and prevented issues of detection. He was heading there because he needed to speak with his siblings about his missing memories. There was only one person he knew that he would ever allow to get close enough to remove his memories, Itoshi.
Speeding through traffic he couldn’t help but laugh as he stood on his bike and rode it like a skateboard. 20 years ago he would’ve probably killed himself trying to do tricks like this. Some cops noticed him and turned their sirens on. He only sped up causing them to chase him more fervently. With a grin he bobbed through the cars in the middle of the city, heading to the harbor with several more vehicles on his tail. He sped up even more and soon, he disappeared, leaving the cops confused.
Inuyasha parked his bike and headed into the newly moved tilt in. A lot of things had been moved around during the move and he took his time getting to know the layout and where everything was now located. Eventually he found the base and kicked the door in. Everyone inside looked shocked but no one said anything to avoid his anger. Following his nose, he kicked the door down where Itoshi and Hatsuo were settled. He said nothing as they all stared at each other. Itoshi wearing his trademark blue and Hatsuo wearing red. Blue for silence, red for love. They really were a triad of despair. “Why did you erase my memories you ass?”
Itoshi looked at him and pursed his lips to a thin line. “Are you asking me because you think I did something malicious or do you really want to know.”
Inuyasha took a deep breath, trying not to blow up but it was a lot harder for the youkai half. “Why the FUCK did you erase my memories?”
Itoshi took note of Inuyasha’s flexing claws. “Because…I didn’t think…”
Taking a step forward Inuyasha growled angrily. Claws poised to attack, the kitsune and dragon tensing as a fight was definitely on the table when Inuyasha’s youkai was in charge. This side of Inuyasha was straight forward and expressed itself with its fists. Which is why most people hated this side of him. “You were really upset…you were freaking out…what else was I supposed to do?”
“You had no right to use that fucked up ability on me. He doesn’t remember but I do!” Inuyasha snarled and shot forward. Itoshi and Hatsuo worked in tandem to defend against Inuyasha but it was difficult with the spiritual energy thrown in.
Inuyasha snarled angrily as they brawled, Hatsuo’s magic threw Inuyasha from the building and the fight was taken to the streets of Tilt-in. Inuyasha attacked without mercy, not pulling his punches for the two of his closest friends. People scattered in fright as they fought and Kitani, Shippo’s mother, appeared and screamed, “Take it out! TAKE IT OUT OF TILT-IN!!” She put up barriers around the buildings to minimize the damage but when the men ignored her, she saw red. Using her own special blend of magic, she forcefully ejected them from Tilt-in. They were thrown into the streets, Inuyasha hitting a car hard enough to dent and topple it. He healed the damage as he became more and more angry with them. They were supposed to be the two people he could trust with his life no matter what. Rescued together, trained together, raised together. “I’m supposed to be able to trust you two.” He growled.
“You can!” Hatsuo shouted, shielding himself from the dastardly spiritual energy.
“Inuyasha just!” Itoshi dodged a well-placed fist, “Just calm the fuck down for 5 seconds!”
Inuyasha’s eyes were red as they fought through the streets, people ran away screaming and soon police sirens could be heard. “Hey that’s Inuyasha!” A police officer stated in surprise. Their lord had been looking for the man for some reason, so he radioed it in.
Weapons were drawn and aimed at the three which wasn’t the best idea because their attention was immediately turned onto them. The three took all the police officers down without effort before their own fight resumed. Hatsuo and Itoshi were bloody and slowing down with Inuyasha showing no sign of tiring. They couldn’t even tell which part of the city they were in anymore. “Enough!” Itoshi snarled, blasting Inuyasha with his own special flamed, giving Hatsuo enough time for an illusionary spell trapping Inuyasha’s mind in a different realm.
His eyes rolled back, and he went limp, but he staggered and looked up his golden eyes back in place. “That isn’t gonna work on me!!” He growled coming at them harder than before, but now with only his spiritual energy. It hurt like hell and they were now just trying to avoid the attacks while his youkai tried to free itself from the confines of Hatsuo’s curse. “Give me my fucking memories back Itoi!” Itoshi paused a bit at the childhood nickname.
“Yaya, I can’t do that.” He whispered.
They felt a large amount of power approaching them and growled and ducked. Sesshomaru and Lord Touga stood looking at the three standing in the destruction, the boys and really grown up. “Inuyasha you’re back to normal.” He exclaimed taking them in. Itoshi and Hatsuo immediately on the defensive. Inuyasha tensed, this half of him still wasn’t ready to face Sesshomaru and his presence made his chest hurt. He could see the lord staring at him, his face still, but he could see the worry in his eyes. He didn’t deserve that look after what he’d done. He really had done what he initially set out to do, and Sesshomaru became an erupting volcano…then an icy glacier.
His attention turned back to his Hazukiikka brother’s. “Give them back Itoi!” He snarled coming at them again.
“I can’t..!” Itoshi felt his chest tighten and everything was becoming more and more difficult. He was tired and his body stung, his youki was depleting fast because of the spiritual energy and soon he wouldn’t be able to defend himself any longer.
“You can’t or you won’t!?” Inuyasha shouted, his youkai finally breaking free of Hatsuo’s curse and coming to the forefront of his being. “Give me my memories back, you asshat!” Hatsuo was trying his hardest to back Itoshi up with his magic but Inuyasha’s human half made it difficult. It would repeatedly cancel and dispel his spells and magic and it was getting on his nerves. Why couldn’t he understand that they just couldn’t?
Sesshomaru was watching them fight, wondering who the two men were. “The boys from that night. Ryuukoutsusei’s children.” His father whispered.
Eventually, Inuyasha sent Hatsuo flying through a building. Before grabbing hold of Itoshi and pinning him with the threat of his spiritual energy at his throat. “Why won’t you just give them back!? Why the fuck did you take them in the first place you sorry excuse for an older brother!?”
Itoshi looked panicked. He’d felt what the spiritual energy felt like and never wanted to be on the receiving end of that but telling Inuyasha the truth meant he had to confront his own fears. He felt tears prickle at his eyes and Inuyasha’s grip loosened and the youki receded from his eyes as he sighed and helped him sit up. “Itoi…just tell me.”
Itoshi’s crystal blue eyes found Lord Touga, and he glared. A glare full of hatred, one that promised nothing but death. “Because he killed dad…” Itoshi looked down at his lap and Inuyasha’s hand rubbed his head, “…and they were gonna take you away too…” Inuyasha was startled when Itoshi embraced him. Being alone with the silence of his own loneliness. That’s what Itoshi feared. A rare breed of dragon kept locked in a crate and shown off at parties. He was rescued by Ryuukoutsusei and placed in a group with Inuyasha and Hatsuo. The three became extremely close and the mere idea of losing them made his chest ache. Itoshi let out a strangled sob, “…I didn’t want to lose you too…” Inuyasha, once again dominated by his youkai looked over to the lord in question.
“I would have run away.” He stated, fully certain. How could he live with a man who murdered his father? “He killed dad and I’ll never forgive that, so long as I live in this world.” Inuyasha hugged him tightly, while having a stoic façade, it was well known among the Hazukiikka that Itoshi was quite emotional. Inuyasha gave him a healing boost to get his youki flowing once more.
Lord Touga felt his body tense at the statement, “You would run from your own father back into the arms of the streets.”
Inuyasha began to growl defensively as the man approached. “Like I said. You’re not my father.” He helped Itoshi stand and they hobbled over to the unconscious Hatsuo. Inuyasha started healing him as well and soon the man woke. “I’ll always return to the streets where you left me.” Inuyasha was not a fool. The lord knew of his existence and only saw fit to see him after his mother died. “You didn’t give a damn about me until you learned I was in the foster care system and could ruin your oh so very great name. I’m not a fucking idiot. ‘Oh lord Touga’s bastard hanyou son!’ What a great fucking news story that would be. Fuck you. Truly, from the very bottom of my heart, fuck you.”
Touga clenched his fists, that hadn’t been the case. “That is not even remotely the truth. Do not speak as though you know how all of this world functions when you’re still wet behind the ears!” Touga was furious as he began to approach them, “You think I wanted to leave you there? In the hand of those humans!?” Touga’s youkai lashed out angrily, “Who did you think you stood a better chance with? Your mother surrounded by humans who as a mere toddler you could defeat with a swipe of your claws, or treacherous youkai who know nothing but destruction!?”
Inuyasha stood defensively in front of his other brothers, “I don’t know, maybe the king of the fucking country should be able to keep a child safe but I’m not so surprised about your parenting techniques when you’ve already fucked one kid up.” Inuyasha’s youki poured into his eyes as he prepared to fight the lord with everything he had. He glanced down at his brothers, “Into the night. Above all else. Chase the sun.” Disappear. Don’t look back. Go west. The two looked at him then back at the lord. “What can you lose and regain? Who is Ryuukoutsusei’s third son?” Trust, me. The two stood, helping each other. Hatsuo made a cover and they practically vanished into thin air. “I wish my mom had met Tsukihime instead. She wouldn’t have abandoned us like you did. You’re a terrible excuse for a father, and the craziest part about it is that I think you know that.”
All the fire left the lord then. How did things become like this? Everything truly hurt. Had his decisions truly been so terrible. Was there anything else he could do aside from changing so many laws. He never wanted his children to hate him but his efforts to do so had backfired. What was he to do now? Beg for forgiveness? Why would they forgive him after what he’d done? “Inuyasha.” He eldest spoke. “Do you know why people are targeting Aomori and Shouzen?”
“No.” Inuyasha spoke calmly, his eyes never leaving Lord Touga.
“Father…let us leave. That is all we needed.” With that Sesshomaru turned his back on them and began to walk away. Touga growled but did as he was asked. Inuyasha stood there a little stunned. That was it? He expected Sesshomaru to question him about before but what he didn’t know was that Sesshomaru was doing as his mother told him. Giving him space…Inuyasha would talk to him when he was ready…he hoped.

Aomori lowered himself into his private baths with a slow rumbling growl. His wings unfurled and he stretched them in the steaming water. He sighed and took a sip of the wine that was waiting for him. A new flavor, he assumed. He couldn’t believe he was on house arrest and their Lord Touga had done nothing to free him. Even more so he couldn’t believe the hanyou was their lord’s offspring. What a crazy world his life had become. In all these years he’d never thought a hanyou child would be born of a royal. He snorted at the very thought. He should have realized something was amiss when their lord had created so many laws in just one night, all pertaining to children. He finished his wine and stood when he began to feel drowsy. Going into his bedroom he dressed in a sleeping robe and climbed in next to his lovely mate. He pulled her close but felt the strength in his arms dissipate. There was a knock at the door. “Tea for Milady.”
His mate sat up with a curious expression, “Come in Hazumi.” A half-demon his wife saw fit to bring into their home because of her skills with tea.
“Right away. Milady would sleep better with this tea. It is wine fruit tea from the Southern Isle and Arcand Skies.” She explained with a chipper smile watching as she drank the tea with a surprised look at the flavor.
“It’s quite delicious.” She nudged her mate to try but smiled as he seemed to be in a deep slumber. A lot had happened, and the bat had been quite stressed as of late. However, he wasn’t sleep, he was paralyzed. He listened as the servant left and his mate settled off into sleep. His heart was racing as the door opened once again. He was turned to his back; strength came to his eyes as he opened them. Staring into the wild smile of the half-demoness.
“Don’t be fearful milord. I’ll make this quick.” She whispered. She pulled a bracelet from her wrist, and her hair changed to a white color and her eyes turned red. She raised a red ornate blade above her head. “My name is Shiori of the shiro bat tribe in the southern lands. With this, I pay back my life debt to Inuyasha of the western lands. The red blade was plunged into his heart several times with a fury Shiori had never felt before. Blood gurgled from the man’s mouth as he died slowly, and silently.
Covered in blood, she wrote on the wall. ‘Our debt is repaid.’ She looked at her handywork before looked back at the two in the bed. She didn’t take the lives of the innocent and while she wanted to kill the woman because of how annoying she was, she thought a butchered mate would be a better goodbye gift. She probably wouldn’t wake for several days because of the strength of the poison. Taking her heirloom, she jumped from the window and created a barrier to obscure her image as she ran into the night. With her debt repaid, she would return to her boss’s after asking for time off. She could live her life knowing that she’d repaid her savior for her and her mother’s lives.
The news of Aomori’s demise spread like wildfire at Tilt-in and throughout the kingdom. Rumor had it that a half-demon of no more than 120 years had murdered the man before running. There were several rumors in the underground about who’s murdered the man, who was the most skillful around that age group and only one person came to mind. Inuyasha’s favorite little sister. Inuyasha caught wind of it and watched the news broadcast. He saw the message and felt his stomach tighten. He went to Ayame to ask about her. Ayame was in charge of her. Originally, when place in her care she was only going to work as a servant because she didn’t want to go back to foster care after her mother died of old age. However, she’d seen the assassin’s and wanted to train so that she could protect herself, and she was quite skilled, especially with her family heirloom. Ayame confirmed what he already feared with a frown. “Had I known why she wanted to take the time off I wouldn’t have let her go, but the authorities are none the wiser. I thought she wanted to visit her mother…it’s around that time for her.” He didn’t blame the woman, he blamed himself. He knew the social rules of the underground, but he didn’t want Shiori following that particular one. If you owe a life debt, you must pay it back no matter what. He just wanted her to think of him as someone she could come to, and he sure as hell didn’t need a child trying to defend him. He bit his lip, it wouldn’t be long before they found out about Shiori, the underground could never shut up. It seemed as though their time was up…they needed to talk to Sesshomaru.
