A big thanks to Thumper689 for editing this so as not to torture you further with my mistakes- I love writing this one- But I also thank all of you who have taken time to leave me a little review-

They made camp shortly before dark, they all were quiet silently mourning for the guide who only wanted to see his brother again. One of Kouga's men had recounted seeing the young demon find his brothers remains laying in a cell with the decaying bodies of other prisoners. How he'd lost his fight after seeing the grisly sight.

"I know it was unrealistic of him to think his brother might be alive." Kouga said.

"But, the thought lingered that if InuYasha was alive then perhaps his brother might be also.'

Sesshomaru who sat beside an unconscious InuYasha nodded.

He was still in a little bit of shock that InuYasha had been alive at all. But the true shock came that he didn't seem to remember Sesshomaru. He'd actually fought not to leave that room, he he was sickened to know that the hanyou would have panicked and kept the struggle up if he'd stayed conscious through their flight out of that place.

The Kohame set up a watch schedule for the camp that night, they felt more secure now outside of the badlands, but there was a chance that the one who had kept the prince captive might come after them, wanting him back.

InuYasha was still wrapped in the furs he'd been taken in, though one of the men had a pair of pants that fit the boy, he was still without a shirt or anything else warm to wear. Sesshomaru would have him away from even that fur but, escape had been paramount and it would be some time tomorrow evening before they would even reach Kouga's strong hold.

It was late into the night and the fire had gone low before the prince woke. His eyes opened a little he was feeling exhausted, and sore. It had been a longtime since he'd been punished in such a way.

And the demon that worked for him happily helped in the punishment.

He tried to remember where he was, when he remembered the demon that had pulled him from his well needed slumber. Didn't they know he wasn't even allowed to leave the bed until he returned in two days. Until he returned the others that worked in the darkness would come and take him, he wasn't allowed to resist. They could do whatever they liked as long as it didn't do him permanent harm.

Some place in the back of his mind he remembered the gold and silver demon, the sight of him had brought out excitement. That he quickly squashed, the last hope of ever seeing the outside had been destroyed when that one had come to him and offered to help him escape. When he had caught them just as they where about to reach the outside.

InuYasha had started to cry, he wanted to see forest and smell the earth so badly, it was painful. Mostly he'd wanted to be free.

He had made it clear that such thought should not exist any longer for him. He'd denied him all the little things he had come to treasure in that dungeon. His privacy, food, the one friend that he'd made was tortured to death and he was made to watch.

The daily beatings had returned also, the riding crops that they used hung in the bedroom where he could see but could not touch. It was meant to touch him, harm him.

"You must understand what it says, InuYasha, if you listen it will not be difficult."

He'd said that many times when it was used to teach him.

InuYasha looked at the fire and lifted up looking around as the realization set in that he was no longer in the room on the bed. He didn't know where he was, he began to panic. He couldn't breathe. Sesshomaru had been watching his brother come back to the waking world. The boy seemed dazed and confused when he first woke.

He tensed at the first spike of panic that came off the young prince.

And moved swiftly forward to keep the boy from running out into the darkness.

He'd expected the boy to cry out or yell and scream. But nothing but the barest whimpers came from him as his golden eyes looked at him with pure fear in his eyes.

"InuYasha."

Sesshomaru said firmly hoping it would break him from the panicked focus he'd put himself in.

The boy went limp before hunching in on himself.

"I have to go back." He said in small voice.

"You do not."

InuYasha shook his head.

"When he finds me, he'll be cross."

"Who?"

Sesshomaru asked firmly.

The boy shook his head but didn't struggle.

He pulled the boy into his lap gathering his own fur around him, preferring not to have the covering they'd left near his baby brother.

This is not what he was meant to be, yes he'd despised the little half breed. But, this meek and broken creature was not what his father would have wanted and thus not what he wanted. The boy had tensed as soon as he held him close, but he imagined whatever activities InuYasha had been privy to during that day had left him hurting and tired.

Sesshomaru himself felt more at ease with the pup close to him rather than sleeping on the ground.

His eye barely closed throughout the night and he was honestly surprised that they had not been attacked at some point. Perhaps those who worked for this mysterious master did not have a way to tell him one of his prisoners was gone.
Morning greeted them all a little more rested. He noticed that Kouga had gone but didn't question it. He was surprised when his friend returned with a horse. He tethered the beast near the dog demons.

"I figure it would be easier on InuYasha if you two could ride."

He said gruffly.

"There is a human village not far from here I got it from.'

Sesshomaru had to acknowledge that this was an excellent thought, or he might end up carrying the boy all the way back home just to be sure he wouldn't try to escape to gods know where.

The fox demon was preparing the food, roasted rabbit, his eyes locked on the boy. As they finished InuYasha finally gave waking up a second chance. Kouga had produced a shirt and heavy cloak for him shortly after he silently ate the rabbit given to him. He made no move to escape nor mention of the place he'd been rescued from. He kept his eyes to the ground and said nothing.

Sesshomaru mounted the horse and pulled the quiet boy up with him, once they had cleaned camp. He quirked an eyebrow at the fox when the boy began to nod off again.

The fox looked at the boy but said nothing.

The entire journey back was spent in various states of rest for InuYasha.

He was jolted awake when they came to stop at the palace of the Daiyoukai. He remembered this place, he'd been here before. His drug addled mind remembered being scared but knowing he was safe within the wall of this place.

He looked at Sesshomaru as he was helped down from the horse. There were demon all through the stables some stopping their activities to look at the prince brought home after so many years.

Sesshomaru kept his arm around his brother leading him gently from the stables.

He noticed how InuYasha would see something and get distracted and though impatient to get him to his room where he could rest, Sesshomaru stopped so the boy could gaze at whatever had attracted him.

"It smells good here."

The young inu slurred.

The fox looked back and smiled.

"I may have given him a little much last time."

The demon lord lead his little brother to the room that had been his long before he was born.
The room had always been tended to, it was his staff's way of saying they had never lost hope that the child would be found. Much the same way they had always continued to clean his fathers bedchamber showing that they kept him in their thoughts.
InuYasha's bed chamber always had some sort of extra cleaning and airing when he left on a quest to bring the hanyou back, the futon would be aired and beaten extra well, new flowers, set in the room, the blankets and sheets scent with fragrance his father had chosen for the boy, everything dusted and put right for the absent prince.
A servant rushed in behind him, hold a set of clothing to change his brother into. InuYasha wavered a bit as he sat on the bed, looking around the room. Sesshomaru considered whether the boy would be able to handle a bath right now.
"Leave the clothing.� he said to the servant.
"Inform the kitchen that food should be sent up for two.�
The servant left the clothing on the bed and bowed quickly before running off to make sure all was prepared. Sesshomaru decided that the hanyou would rest better if clean. He shut the doors to the room and turned back to his brother, he noticed the golden eyes focus on the the open windows.
After being under ground for so long he imagined that seeing the sky and the outside activity was long over due. He lead the boy from the the room into the hot spring just off from his bedroom. He set him down on a seat and began to undress his little brother. He had thought about having the staff tend to him. But the boy had spent three days curled up next to him in one way or another.
He was more relaxed than when he left him with others, he hoped that the scent of protection he had been unconsciously giving off was part of why he was relaxing. Sesshomaru remembered being frightened when he was little and his father would come and tend to him, the scent he gave off pretty much erased any thought of being fearful. Now he knew that his body and instincts were doing the same to an inuyoukai that was in a constant state of fear.
He helped InuYasha into the water and let them both relax for bit before beginning to wash the journey off of them both. He'd regretted not staying a day at Kouga's estates about four hours away. They all could have used the rest, but his need to rest was overrun by the need to get his little sibling home and under their roof.
The rest they would both receive here would be worth the prolonged wait.
He kept an arm around the hanyou as he closed his eyes for a moment savoring the warm water.
"It's been a long time since I had a bath like this."
He heard the hanyou splash a little.
He somehow knew this would become a lot more stressful when his brother wasn't drugged in some fashion. But he couldn't keep the hanyou filled with the herbs forever, he would speak to his healer about something to calm his brother should he become too agitated. Although he understood the first resort should be the elder inuyoukai presence.
He opened his eyes and looked at the boy beside him. He wondered why this creature who had kidnapped his brother had cut his hair off. He got the impression that it was a savage and cruel action. Of course it would have helped if he were aware of how the guide has procured the original lock of hair in the first place. He washed his brother taking great care in his touch, being as gentle as he could with the boy. Before helping him out of the hot spring in to the bedroom where he dried him.
He was pleased to see some clothing had been set out for himself by the servant tending them.
He dressed his little brother then set him in a chair hoping to keep him awake long enough to get him fed. Though he wasn't sure how much longer his brother would last the warm water would be pushing him to sleep, he hoped the food with the right tea would be the final nail in the coffin. He was more than a little right after InuYasha had eaten his fill. He could barely keep his eyes open.
The demon lord felt more than satisfied as his brother was curled up in his bed sound asleep.
He slipped out, not surprised to see the guard placed on the room. The raven would have been responsible for this.
He looked at the two youkai guarding the door, he had sensed the other three outside the garden wall.
"None are to enter this room" he said firmly.
Both of the guards acknowledged his order, before he moved to go to his study to see to any business that could not be taken care of by his advisers.
He felt somewhat at ease, he needed to make sure that guard was very aware of all entering and leaving the castle. Not that they were not already, but until he understood why his brother had been stolen away, and more importantly who had taken his little brother. There was an ever present danger that the kidnapper would try to take him again.
He walked into his study, Toshi barely looked up at him the older youkai was sorting through some of the papers.
He stepped back from the desk as Sesshomaru took his seat beginning to look through the document that required his immediate attention.
"Is the young master well?" Toshi asked.
Sesshomaru knew the adviser would know he'd returned with his brother.
"He is alive" the Daiyoukai answered "well, is not a word I would yet place next to him.�
Toshi frowned.
"I have the healer set to see to him as soon as he wakes in the morning. Was there any indication as why or who took him?"
Sesshomaru placed the document down on the desk.
"There was very little to say who took him, it was obvious that he was powerful enough to construct a structure of sorts where there should not be one, and wealthy enough to keep it staffed in his absence. There where not really any trappings to show if he was youkai or other wise. I am hoping once InuYasha conquers his initial fear of this new space he is in he will give us at least a description of what he looked like."
They worked in quiet for sometime, the only sounds they made were when Toshi had wished to elaborate on anything he felt the document lacked.
After about five hours Sesshomaru stood,
"I will be spending the night in my brother's room, until I mention otherwise all meals for my brother and myself will be in either his or my room. I will be sending for you in the morning, I will be continuing any work that must be done in the morning there . There is much to be done in respect to my brother.�
Toshi gave a nod as he watched Sesshomaru walk from the room.
The Daiyoukai was exhausted, after traveling most of the day and having to deal with matters of state. He longed for a bed to collapse on.
He was surprised to see the fox and the raven in the hallway down from his brothers bedchamber.
He stopped to question this. But the raven spoke first.
"We worked really hard to get him back, we'll not have something nasty happen to him now.�
The raven said smiling in that way that was always just a tad disconcerting, he'd always felt that the raven had to many teeth to smile in such a manner.
He didn't question any longer the raven had years ago shown that he was trustworthy and where his loyalties lie. Where he was oddly enough you could always find the fox since they had arrived together. In some ways he would swear that the fox owed that raven something, he was drawn out of his thoughts as he came to the door of his brothers room, the guard had changed. They stood at attention as he entered.
He felt his body relax as he looked at his little brother laying on the bed, curled up under the furs.
He stood watching the child in the fading light of the day.
A knock sounded at the door.
"Enter" he said.
A young girl entered.
"Forgive me Sesshomaru-sama, I was not able to enter earlier to light the lamps."
He looked at her.
"Do so now."
She bowed and went about her work, and left quickly so as to not bother the two brothers.
He approved of the guards chosen to stand at his brothers door, he had no idea of the power or standing of the creature that took his brother at such a young age. He could not discount even the smallest creature as an envoy for this kidnapper. What he was most curious about was what the purpose was behind taking his sibling. There had to be a reason other than just taking him, to get into his castle, past the guards, and show how get the young hanyou past the guards without them noticing.
He sat on the bed, feeling the exhaustion of the last couple of days finally catch up to him. He just wanted to eat and fall asleep. He couldn't ignore the primal part of him that wouldn't let the wounded hanyou be alone at this point.
A knock sounded at the door, he looked up.
One of the guards ushered in a servant that always delivered his meal when he did not take them in the main dining room. The demon set everything out for the two princes and then stood before Sesshomaru waiting to see if anything else was needed. Before leaving quietly.
As much as he regretted waking the hanyou, he needed to eat. He shook him gently knowing that the drug that the raven had given him to keep him calm would still be in his system.
"InuYasha" he said trying to rouse his brother.
The golden eyes opened with start, he tried to sit up to quickly. The drug addled his system and made him slow and some what clumsy. He looked around frightened.
"You're the one from before."
Sesshomaru gave a nod.
"Do you remember me?"
InuYasha rubbed his eyes.
"I feel like I should, you are in my head."
Sesshomaru sighed a little.
"It has been a long time since we have been together InuYasha."
He hated how his brothers eyes would stay lowered.
"InuYasha."
"No one calls me that anymore."
The hanyou said softly.
"It is your name, our father gave it to you."
The golden eyes shifted up for a moment.
" I like it."
"Come InuYasha we must eat and then you can rest."
He lead the hanyou off the bed to sit on the lavish pillows at the table.
Sesshomaru poured tea and lifted the lid on many dishes. He smiled slightly to hear the hanyou stomach growl at the aroma's that flooded the room.
"There is no need for formalities here, little brother. Eat, and fill your stomach."
He began to spoon his own food silently watching his brother as he meekly took a little from one bowl or the next. Sesshomaru was amazed at his manners. He'd remembered when the boy came to the castle after his mother's death he'd had the manners of a child trying to learn to eat at a table properly. So he was slightly clumsy, and awkward with the utensils and often with how food was eaten and served properly.
His education seemed to have been furthered in his absence.
This pride left a bitter taste in his mouth as he noticed the slight tremble in the hanyou movements, the way his eyes would shift from his food to Sesshomaru constantly. The scent of fear was overwhelming from the young hanyou. Sesshomaru knew that food was most likely deprived if something did not please who ever was keeping him. He noticed his brother was too thin for his liking when changing him out of the clothing he'd traveled in.
They ate in silence, attention getting the boy to eat his fill rather than drill the boy on information he needed to catch the fool who took his wild baby brother and turned him into this meek and frightened thing.
InuYasha watched from the bed as the man servant took away the empty dishes, Sesshomaru felt satisfied with the hanyou appetite, and also that he'd eaten his fill if his drooping eye lids where any indication to his full stomach.
He didn't protest when Sesshomaru, lead him under the furs and silks, nor did he when the Daiyoukai joined him. The boy lay tense not far from him on the bed. Something in the elder youkai craved to have the hanyou close. He did not resist pulling the hanyou to him. He could feel the contentment replace by nervous fear.
"No one will harm you here InuYasha, I promise they will meet a most gruesome end."
He felt him relax a bit, until he finally slept, something that didn't come easy to the Daiyoukai as he listened to the breathing of his brother and his slumbering heart beat.
