Disclaimer: I don't gain any profit from this nor I own InuYasha. This fiction is just to put my wild imagination at ease. |
Hey guys! I deeply apologize for the super late update. I had my final exam haunting me and needed to abuse my brain for a little while. Not to mention my work has piled up, so yeah. Excuses over excuses but here I am! I'm back again with CHAPTER 3!
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. Never will. This fanfiction is just my way of redirecting my fantasies and I make no profits whatsoever out of this.
The ground crunched beneath the heavy steps of a bare-footed half breed, leaving faint footprints on the damp earth as the result of the after-rain. Musky scent of the forest was harshly breathed into the lungs of the heaving Inuyasha. Pace increased, he muttered a curse when he looked behind, only to see a very determined pack of rogue wolf demons chasing after him. Damn, were they persistent. It was of course, Inuyasha's own mistake, he admitted—for carelessly taking a stop at the area where these wolf demons had marked it as their territory. He should have kept on moving despite the brutal downpour. But then again, they would have smelled his scent in the area for they had sensitive nose and a solo half demon wandering in the forest seemed to be a perfect prey. Clutching his Tenseiga, Inuyasha made a swift turn and swung a perfect blast of Wind Scar toward the chasing demons.
Fast on their feet, they leaped separately to avoid his attack however one of them got hit on the leg and fell hard onto the ground. Painful whimper turned into angry growl, the hurt demon barked a 'Fuck you, filth' and was once again jumping from one branch to another as he howled a command to the others to besiege Inuyasha, ready to hit an attack. They were literally everywhere and Inuyasha had to come up with an idea on how to overcome this situation—fast. His golden eyes looked around him, noting that there were four of them and he knew he was outnumbered and would be as good as dead if he was to make a wrong move. Letting his clawed toes buried themselves in the damp ground, he looked at the snarling demon that was impacted by his Wind Scar and realized he was the Alpha of the pack; judging by the dominant aura Inuyasha was aware of from him.
'Explains why they are agitated.' Inuyasha thought. The half breed buried his left foot deeper into the ground and instantly kicked the soil gathered toward one of the demons near him. As if it was the bell for launching attacks, the wolf demons made their move and Inuyasha dodged their raking claws with firm blocks. Sensing another punch was coming his way from behind, Inuyasha turned around and quickly swing his upper arm across his chest, letting the outer edge of his forearm made contact with the assailant's arm and immediately drove his sharp claws through the other's throat, ripping off the head from the body. The smell of fresh blood invaded his senses and Inuyasha felt a rush of adrenaline ran through his pulsing vein; the excitement, oh he forgot how thrilling this could be. He had demon blood in him anyway, and such fact explained the exhilaration he was feeling just by smelling the blood spilled by his own hands.
Witnessing one of them being killed by the half breed, they snapped their jaws at Inuyasha with a feral growl rumbling in their throats and they did not take a second thought to launch another attack at him. The demon wolf were striking him with kicks and Inuyasha aimed for another block to give himself the chance to launch his counter attack but he was stopped by another wolf demon who had weighed himself on the half breed's back and sinking his teeth into Inuyasha's left shoulder. Wincing in pain, Inuyasha lose balance and fell onto his knees, receiving a hard kick across his face as he struggled to get the demon on his back off of him. He jabbed his elbow backward, directly hitting the rib of the demon behind him and earned himself a lose grip. Finally able to set himself free, Inuyasha turned a hard gaze and lunged forward to the wolf demon responsible for his injured face and pinned the demon down to the ground. Crunching sound got Inuyasha's ears perked and his attention was thrown toward the Alpha of the pack, standing in front of him, realized that said demon had not made any move from the beginning.
“Give up, half breed,” said the Alpha.
Inuyasha growled in defense, tightening his grip on the throat of the demon beneath him, eyes however locked with the Alpha. “And willing myself be the prey? Dream on, asshole.” Inuyasha spat. The remaining wolf demons laughed at Inuyasha's words for they thought it was useless and stupid for Inuyasha to put up such a fight that anyone knew the half breed had no chance on winning. and the intensity of their gaze hardened, wanting to devour the half breed's flesh immediately.
The Alpha snickered and his eyes had a glint of crimson rings around his dilated pupils. “Of course you would say that.”

The pregnant silence was sickening; too intense for anyone's favor but none of the council members dared to retort a sound. It was never like this; not that the past meetings were any merrier but never this intense. Never had the Lord reacted too, one might say; personally, to any statement. This time, however, the Lord snapped by just hearing a 'let the disgraceful half breeds perish and free us all from their filthy existence' rolled out from one of the council member's mouth. The sharp scent of the Lord's poison was still evident in the room with the soft sizzling sound emitted from the lifeless body of the said council member, acidic poison corroding him. Sesshomaru, the Lord, spared a slight dispassionate glance over his shoulder; silently telling the others he would not even hesitate to commit another kill for those who spoke carelessly.
His message got through successfully.
Lord Sesshomaru elegantly settled himself back onto his zabuton; a sturdy cushion for sitting, once again redirecting his focus toward the earlier interrupted discussion. “Troops were sent not to launch attack to any party but only to gather information. And I believe, I never once need to ask for the council's permission to do as such.”
“No, my Lord. Of course not.” A raven haired demon—Masuyo, spoke. His eyes darting from one corner to another, not really looking at anything rather, he was contemplating his next words. “If I may to question, Lord Sesshomaru. Why the sudden interest in half-breeds?” As the lieutenant general of the West Defense Force, he had the right to know where this situation would lead the kingdom's safety to for as far as he was concerned, the yokai they were discussing about was not just a mere, half-brained one. He got tactics under his sleeves. And if the West made any miscalculated move, Masuyo afraid that it could lead to the kingdom invasion.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes; clearly affected by the question. His mind pondered and tried to come up with an answer but none was found. He recalled Inuyasha too was questioning his 'sudden interest' and his answer still remained the same; he was not concern of the half breeds' well being. But he too knew itwell if he was to answer in that manner, controversy and debate would occur for sure. He, Sesshomaru the Great, could not even muster any response or maybe because his answer was simply,
“Inuyasha.”
The little crowd in the room blinked in confusion, surprised even, for they had never, ever, heard their Lord spoke of that name before. It was a common knowledge of who Inuyasha was and everyone within the castle, hell even throughout the kingdom, knew about the previous Lord's dishonor in taking a human as his second mate thus, Inuyasha as the ugly ramification. Inuyasha; the royal half breed, half brother to Lord Sesshomaru, son of Inu no Taisho. If he was to be a full fledged demon, for sure he would rule the kingdom and expand their influence all over the world in no time. Both of them would be unstoppable and ruthless and cunning—a perfect blend of beauty and power. If only that was the case. So, the Lord Sesshomaru wanted his little brother safe. The unexpected fact was a lot to take in by the council members and disagreement could be seen in some of the demons' eyes.
Masuyo, who foreseen the situation would turn havoc if one did not turn the page over, took out a scroll. The last thing he wanted to happen was bloodshed where a very pissed Demon Lord lose control over sneering remarks from the disagreeing council members. Locking his jade green eyes with cold gold of Lord Sesshomaru's, Masuyo explained as he silently urged the Lord to read the scroll. “This is the report from the troops sent to the borders. Nothing significantly threatening was spotted however, my Lord...something was definitely going on.”

Kagome heaved a sigh for what it seemed like umpteenth time, earning herself a worried glance by Shippo. She felt restless, somehow. She was worried since the last time she saw Inuyasha about 3 days ago. When he decided to meet Sesshomaru, Kagome objected to the idea greatly but Inuyasha had stated that he felt it was a right decision of doing so. The others understood. But she had a rough time accepting it. It felt as if, she was about to lose him, not in a bad way but lose Inuyasha where she would not be in his eyes anymore. He loved her, she knew and the feeling did not go unrequited. They had shared moments together; her fingers brushing over his, stares lingered seconds longer than they should and heavens, their stolen glances. Those moments were unmistakably the definition of interest if not love. It could be love, she was sure of it, if only Inuyasha gave her the chance to show him more of the their love-hate relationship. But he did not for she realized it was nothing more than fraternal feelings he had for her. But it had been love at first sight on Kagome's part right at the moment when she initially saw him in his deep slumber against the Sacred Tree he was sealed at.
Everyone knew of her attraction toward the half demon, everyone but Inuyasha. Was it because she was a human that made him hesitated to go further into the relationship—no, friendship? But he was in love with her ancestor back then, who was of course, a human. Kikyo—her ancestor, had made it into his heart so why could not she? A pang of jealousy attacked Kagome when she thought about Inuyasha and Kikyo which was bad of her. That was their past, she knew, and Kikyo was already deceased but Kagome could not help it. Another heavy sigh escaped her lips.
“Seriously, Kagome. What's bothering you?” Finally, Sango just had to ask because she could not take it any longer. Sango understood that with Inuyasha's absence, the young maiden could not sit tight where worry and concern were disturbing her but so did everyone else. So, that was what made Sango questioned; what exactly had got Kagome so disturbed to this extend?
“Nothing,” came Kagome's curt reply.
Restraining herself from rolling her eyes, Sango urged on. “Come on. Don't try to cover things up. You're bare and obvious.” As expected, a sigh was once again audible. “Kagome, you do know that Inuyasha is more than capable of taking care of himself, right?” Receiving a silent nod from Kagome, Sango continued on, “Then why are you so on edge?”
Kagome fidgeted, suddenly felt that the hem of her skirt was much interesting than answering Sango's question. What should she tell her anyway? She did not want to lose Inuyasha to another, might she say, demon namely the Lord of the West, Sesshomaru? Oh, she had seen it alright. The intense gaze the Lord was giving Inuyasha the other day. The hidden sensual touch of Sesshomaru's fur on the half demon's body. The blush on Inuyasha's face and his stuttering. She noticed them all and she did not like it even one bit. Not just that, she too was aware of Inuyasha's flinch everytime Sesshomaru's name was spoken which soon would result in him averting his eyes nervously and not to mention Inuyasha's constant 'disappearance' during the night from their campsite only to return in a complete flushed face with hint of sleepless night evident on his features. She was no fool. She had put two and two together, and she was planning to do anything that she could to make Inuyasha hers.
“Say, Sango. Let's pay Kouga a visit.”

Sweat trailed from his temple down to his chin. He wiped it off with the sleeve of his Fire Rat robe. The fight he had with the wolves yesterday was paying a toll on his body. Damn, they were an aggressive bunch of assholes. But he was not someone who gave up easily either and he survived yesterday's brawl to prove his life policy. Despite his broken ribs and nose and deep cuts all over his limbs, he surely felt smug about his little victory especially when his opponent was someone who talked nothing but crap and a complete ass. Looking up, he squinted his eyes when the sunlight blindingly peeked between the leaves. He leaned back against the bough of the tree as he settled comfortably on the thick branch he was resting on.
Inuyasha closed his eyes, trying to catch a rest in brood daylight, though very unusual for him but he needed it so badly this time. He had not had any chance to make any stop since the wolf demons' ambush and he did not intend to take any risk, badly injured or no. Inuyasha tried to relax his mind, calming his body and allow it to heal. Truthfully, along his journey to his brother's castle, he had wanted to turn back, get his shit together and face his own nightmare alone. Yeah, he could definitely do that just like he what used to do. But, the feeling of relying on someone, to be protected and not protecting, the feeling of secured and contentment...the feeling of home. Yes, he longed for those for decades and now it was up to him to accept Sesshomaru's offer or otherwise.
Home, yes. Sesshomaru felt like home. Inuyasha had no idea if it was his older brother's yokai or plainly himself that made the half breed felt so soothingly calm and he welcomed it. It had always been that way, he noticed. Even during their murderous fights back then. The close proximity between them sparked an inseparable pull every time and the final glance they shared before parting ways made his heart skipped. He hated that feeling back then. Hated it because he was confuse and pissed at the same time when he saw blank expression on the Lord's face as if the flutter in the stomach was only experienced by Inuyasha alone. But now, maybe he was tired of running away from confusion and it was about his high time to figure out what the hell was wrong with him.
Sesshomaru.
Remaining his eyes closed, the image of Sesshomaru appeared in his mind. It was not something lewd this time, thank the Gods, but just the usual cold and unimpressed Sesshomaru. Inuyasha breathed in deep and was amazed how his imagination could be so real when he smelled Sesshomaru's scent, hell, he even could feel the Demon Lord's yokai. Slowly, Inuyasha opened his eyes, grudgingly given up on taking his nap when he knew Sesshomaru would invade his head and peace every time he shut his eyes. Heavens, it was as if his bastard older brother was here. Indeed the power of mind. Blinking his eyes, the half breed refocusing his gaze and looked straight.
“Little brother.”
Inuyasha screamed in fright and total surprise when the sight of his older brother greeted him and he slipped himself off of the branch and crashed down to the ground. He groaned in pain when his healing ribs were impacted by the fall. Inuyasha glared daggers at the older demon who was already landed himself on the ground as well, with grace of course, as he growled irritatingly. “What the fuck are you doing here, asshole? You don't sneak up on people like that!”
“I was simply in the area, Inuyasha. The real question is; what are you doing here?” Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow.
Inuyasha fought back his blush from creeping onto his cheeks, suddenly regretting everything. “W-Well...” Fuck, stop stuttering! “I wanted to see you.” Only Gods know how much strength was needed for him to say that. He would be willingly fighting with wild demons for days and still would have remaining energy left than saying shit like this to his older brother and felt drained lifelessly.
Oh, that smirk of the Lord. “Is that so? To what do I deserve such pleasure?”
“Why on Earth can't you talk like normal people? Geez.” Inuyasha rolled his eyes before continuing. “It's about the...offer you opted me with.”
Sesshomaru hummed lightly in response. “And your answer is?”
He swore to Gods, this bastard was picking on him on purpose. “Jackass, I'm here miles away from where I should have been so use your goddamn brain, dammit. You know what my answer is.”
The Lord of the West was about to answer but a rustling sound among the shrubs got the brothers' attention. They both looked around, not particularly seeing anything. Came again the noise and Inuyasha snapped his head fast enough to see one of the shrubs was moving. He frowned and looked at Sesshomaru, who was intently looking around the area, his yokai flared in defense. Inuyasha walked closer to the now motionless shrub and sniffed for a hint; Nothing. He walked to the other side and remained sniffing in hope to find something because his yokai too was on alert and that meant threat was near. Very near. Then he saw a shadow moved fast behind him at the corner of his eyes and he immediately turned and looked at Sesshomaru.
“Did you see that? I swear I saw somethi—” The half breed was not able to finish his sentence when he heard a loud throaty rattling sound was coming from behind him and the next thing he knew, his view was greeted with a sight of an eyeless creature; no hair, no clothes with a huge gape at the abdomen, nose flattened and slacked jaw that dropped down to its chest and irregular arrangement of sharp canines. Its' head tilted 90 degree to the side. It moved fast. Way too fast for Inuyasha to register his brain on what was actually going on and the next thing he knew, it was pitch black, and a painful burning sensation on his arm, and Sesshomaru's voice calling out for him.
So that was it! I hope you're not disappointed by this chapter. REVIEW and tell me what you think!
