(Inuyasha's POV)
"Inuyasha honestly…you cannot sit around and mope all day." Sango huffs already sick of her half-breed friend brooding in the sacred tree.
"I am not! Go away will yah'?!" The hanyou had been in a foul mood for the past four days. "I don't need you telling me what to do!"
"Obviously you do! You've been acting like a brat lately. What happened to exploring the world?"
"Keh! How can I? I'm so pathetic; I can't even venture out on my own without getting myself killed." His voice is weighted down by sarcasm and defeat.
"Well." A sly smirk lightens up the slayer's face. "You're right."
"Nani?"
"Three days without us and you're on the brink of death…I mean your own aniki had to rescue you for kami's sake." That gets the reaction she was looking for. He fumbles in shock before jumping down and landing in front of her with a fierce glare on his face. As soon as he opens his mouth to retort, she rubs his fluffy dog ears affectionately." Just kidding."
"Sango-teme." A growl emits from his chest, but she knows it is not threatening.
"Inuyasha, you know you will be happier if you go back out…besides I think you should thank Sesshomaru for—"
"WHAT?! There's no way in hell I'm thanking that bastard for anything."
"He saved your life!"
"You don't think there's a reason for that? Do yah' honestly believe he just saved me out of the kindness of his heart!?" His tone is harsh and he does not mean to yell at his friend but she is acting stupid." Do you really think he saved me simply cause' I'm his little brother?! Keh!"
"….I don't know but do you not want to find out? And no matter the case he DID save your life!"
"Psh!" He turns his back to her before sprinting off towards the Bone Eater's Well. Lately he's found himself coming here and just staring into the dark well. Just remembering how life was when she was around. 'First my mother, then kikyo, and now you? Do I not deserve to be happy? What have I done?—'
'You filthy Hanyou!'
'Stay away, you're not meant to live amongst humans!'
'Come here you worthless half-breed! You'll make a nice snack!'
'You are no brother of mine, you pathetic waste of life. Cross my path again and I shall cleanse this world of your wretched existence.'
Inuyasha's claws dig into the earth as the memories roll around in his mind. He had fallen to his knees when the waves of emotion had just been too much to handle. The memory that really tore at his soul was the last one. The owner? None other than his older brother. 'That bastard…I was no older than Rin and he turned me away when I needed him the most. He hates me because of my human blood BUT yet still he takes in some human girl but not his own brother? I'm not jealous of Rin by a long shot…it's not her fault. And at this point I don't care. This is just resentment from when I was young-"
"Master Inuyasha!"
'What the hell?' The said hanyou composes his face before turning around. There she is; a short, brown haired girl with big brown eyes. His knuckles rub at his golden eyes trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things. 'Nope, that's really is Rin.' "What the hell are you doing here, kid?"
Rin runs to him cheerily and bows to him when she's within range. "Hello Inuyasha-sama."
His eyebrow rises at the honoriphic. "Yeah umm, kid, why are you here?"
"Master Jaken is supposed to be watching me while Sesshomaru-sama talks to Kaede-baba but I wanted to find a flow—"
"Sesshomaru is here?" It takes a while to realize what she said considering he was basically tuning her out.
"Hai!" He surprises the little girl when he grabs her and sprints back towards Kaede's hut. When he arrives he spots Sesshomaru standing not too far from Kaede, along with Miroku and Sango. They are just talking. 'What the fuck?'
"Sesshomaru!" The shout makes everyone pause and watch as Inuyasha jumps the remaining twenty yards separating him from his group.
"Inuyasha." The daiyoukai regards him curtly but his focus is on the human child being held under Inuyasha's arm.
"This belongs to you." He places Rin down in front of her adored savior.
"Rin, I instructed Jaken to watch you. Where is he?"
"Um, we got separated."
"Why?" His tone is even and blank but his eyes show his disapproval.
"I wanted to find this for you." She looks like the happiest person in the world as she brings forth the white daisy she had been holding.
"I do not care for things like that." You would never think that a little girl could look so crushed. Her head bows down as her big sad eyes shift to stare at the ground. Even Inuyasha had to admit to his self that the act tugged at his heart strings. The Inu-youkai's face revealed no emotion at all as he took the flower from her small hands and placed it in her hair." Go find Jaken."
"Yes my lord~~!" She practically sings before skipping away.
"What the hell is going on?!" Inuyasha snaps as soon as the girl is out of ear shot. "Why are you in this village, Sesshomaru? Are yah' here to fight?" The questions rang through the air he had his hand on Tetssaiga's hilt ready to pull it out.
"Inuyasha cut it out." Kaede prompts tiredly, knowing that the demon lord was not going to answer any of the questions." He has come to request a favor of me. He wants me to take Rin under my care and teachings."
"Really?" He defiantly was not expecting that answer.
"Yes and Sango came up with one circumstance."
'Oh hell.' "And what is that?"
Sango speaks up this time giving the hanyou a firm look." That you will travel with him for a while."
Everyone was expecting a loud and aggressive response but instead he just blinks at her before asking her with heavy concern."…Are you stupid?"
The monk decides to interrupt before the demon slayer lives up to her tittle." Well anyway he said no but then we decided Kaede will take care of Rin as long as he wants, if he will only take you for seven days. And we were giving him time to think it ov—"
"Fine." The demon lord interrupts. It is safe to assume that he was not paying any attention to the conversation at hand." I accept."
"No, Dammit!" I'm not going anywhere with him." Inuyasha throws a glare at his brother before flaring his nostrils indignantly.
Miroku tries to reason with him. "Inu—"
"Silence." Sesshomaru commands and no one can mistake the anger lining his voice." Inuyasha I have no time for this argument. You shall come with me because I saved your wretched life. If you are not grateful for that then I have no problem in putting an end to it instead."
To that he honestly has no come back. The threat did not particularly faze him but he knows that he is indebted to his half-brother. 'I guess I rather do a simple task like this rather than pay him back by doing something ridiculous. And after this I won't ever have to worry about this situation again.' The group remains quiet and stands in awkward silence until they hear the sounds of Rin and Jaken returning.
"Sesshomaru-sama I found him!"
"Lord Sesshomaru, I'm sorry. I did not mean to lose Rin. She just took off—"The imp stops his own ramblings short as his eyes settle on Inuyasha. "Ugh, not that disgusting thing. Stay away from Sesshomaru-sama you weak excuse for an Inu-youkai!"
"Come here and say it to my face pipsqueak!"
"Jaken." Sesshomaru's eyes narrow in to a glare. "For not doing as you are told, you shall stay here with Rin."
"W-What?! H-How long will you make me stay with these humans, my lord?"
Sesshomaru strides past the stunned little demon, leaving his question unanswered." Come Inuyasha." The hanyou scoffs and folds his hands into his hakama before following his brother away from the village.
'Hours and hours and hours of walking! This is crazy. I've done nothing all day but follow this bastard around like a lost puppy. He better not be thinking of me as one of his little tag-alongs that will jump at his every command.' The two brothers have not spoken a single word to one another since they left the village. Even as they walk Inuyasha keeps a thirty meter distance between them. 'Kuso, it is getting dark. Enough is enough!' He closes the space between them quickly, matching his brothers pace as he glares over to him. "Where are we going?"
"…"
"Are we going to be walking all night?"
"…"
"Are you even listening?"
"…"
"TEME-" Not giving a damn about the consequences the hanyou steps in front of the daiyoukai forcing the demon man to stop before running into him. "STOP ignoring me Sesshomaru. I am not one of your cronies! I have every right to know exactly where we are going and why we are going there. The next seven days WILL NOT be like this. You are going to talk to me even if it makes you vomit, you bastard!"
"… What are you on about Inuyasha?"
'Unbelievable. Was he still ignoring me?' "I'm talking about you ignoring every question I've asked!"
"Hn? You asked me something? I must have been tuning you out unintentionally. It is a skill I've had to learn while traveling with the likes of Jaken and Rin." If he didn't know any better he could have sworn his composed older brother just sighed." A lord does grow tired of hearing his own name."
Inuyasha pauses to consider how much humor that held. 'Those two are always calling him. Sesshomaruuuu-sama. Sesshoooomaruuuu-sama. Looooord Sesshoooomaru. I'd go crazy.' "Well, they are not here so don't ignore me."
"Inuyasha, refrain from telling me what to do. What where the questions?"
"Will we be walking all night?"
"No. There is a clearing up a head, we shall stop there."
"Where are we going?"
"…To settle some business."
"Nani?" You've got to explain more than that."
"I'll think about it. Come, let's get to the clearing." Inuyasha can hear a hint of exasperation in his voice and he figures that they could both use a break from each other.
"You go on. I'll find something to eat."
"As you wish." He seems just as grateful for the break.
The hanyou backtracks a bit on the path they had been hiking. 'I remember seeing a bush full of berries and I'm sure a deer was near it too. Hmm... If Kagome was here she would have her ninja food and we'd sit around the fire and feast and-… stop it Inuyasha. She's gone. Just accept that.' He tries to literally shake the thoughts from his mind as he plucks the berries viciously.
"Rich, beautiful blood~"
'….Oh shit that voice!' Inuyasha is ready this time yanking Tessaiga out as he turns to face the Anjuv plant.
"Give...me…you…blood. Perish~"
"So you're not satisfied, eh? Not use to you victims surviving I take it. Well bad news for yah', yah' weed. I'm ready for yah' ass now." As if responding to the rude remark; the Anjuv shoots the hundred flowers out sending them at the expecting hanyou. "Keh!" He jumps out of the way effortlessly and is not surprised as the flowers follow him." How yah' like this? KAZE NO KIZU!" His wind scar slashes through every flower leaving nothing but petals floating in the air. "How's that? Baaakaaaa!" He smirks as he walks to the actual plant." How should I get rid of yah', hmm?"
"Mine~" Inuyasha freezes suddenly as a sudden powerful flare of youkai surrounds the plant, "Mine, Mine, Mine, MINE~" His eyebrows furrow as he watches the plant grow in to a full sized demon. It looks human other than the fact that its' skin is green, hair is yellow, and eyes are royal purple.
"What…the…fuck…"
"Give me your blood!" The creature lunges at Inuyasha who instinctively jumps back ready to counter with his father's fang. But he knows something is wrong when the Anjuv smiles at him. Inuyasha had jumped back into the cloud of petals still floating in the air. Blood spills as a flower petal slices him in the face, across the cheek. 'Aw shi—"The flower petals swarm around him trying to cut through any piece of skin possible. He holds the sword up to protect his face and mentally thanks Kami for Robe of the Fire Rat. But even that can be torn to shreds and it won't be long until he's plant food.
And then a blinding light is all that can be seem as a gush of powerful wind and youkai pushes him back, despite his efforts to stay on his feet. 'It's Sesshomaru!' Inuyasha's mouth falls open in awe as his demon brother turns his glowing yellow-green poison whip and spins on the spot shredding through every single flower petal. In contrast with the night sky and the bright moon Sesshomaru looks like an angel of death. 'He…he's…kami, he's beautiful…Kuso did I just say beautiful?!'
"Inuyasha, are you injured?" Sesshomaru's voice is as dead as usual even though he extends an open hand down to help the hanyou up.
"U-uh n-no, I'm fine." He grabs his hand trying desperately, with no avail, not to notice how soft he feels.
"It got away; it escaped underground so expect him to be back for you…what happened to your face?" He adds as he notices the gash on his otouto's face.
"Oh yeah. It go—"He falls silent as the same hand that helped him up cups the side of his face that's uninjured. 'What the hell? What is he- I've never been so close to his face before…its'—' Inuyasha's mind goes blank for a moment as he watches the daiyoukai part his lip, leaning closer to his face. 'What is he about to do?!' Inuyasha's heart nearly stops when the Lord turns his face to the side and lickshis cheek, making sure to get the blood from the cut. The confused Inu-hanyou pushes his brother back and his face turns an embarrassing shade of red. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
He simply stares back at him as if he's done nothing out of the ordinary. "Healing you? Do you forget that the Anjuv in poisonous?"
"I don't need you to do that!" He snaps before running off towards the clearing they're supposed to camp in. 'First the bastard bites me and now he LICKS me. Baka! Keep your mouth to yourself, Dammit'!
