(Inuyasha POV)
After returning to the clearing following a very long and eventful night, Inuyasha had been so distraught and confused that he had just jumped into the nearest tree and went straight to sleep.
'Inuyasha!'
'Kagome? Kagome, yes I'm here! Kagome?!'
'SIT BOY!'
CRASH! "KUSO!" A loud noise followed by a curse is all that echoes through the forest early, the next morning. 'Did I really just fall out of a tree because of some dream?' The hanyou refuses to accept reality and decides to lay there with his face implanted in the ground for a few seconds.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" There is no mistaking whose monotone emotionless voice this belongs to.
"…N-nothing." The hanyou rather not have his older brother think of him more a fool that he already dose. Besides he knows if he told him something like that, the lord would no doubt be baffled and disgusted by the fact that a human girl had so much effect on him.
"Hurry up and eat. We have plenty of ground to cover before we arrive to our destination."
"And WHERE exactly is our destination, may I ask?" He is not really surprised when all Sesshomaru provides as a response is his back to him. 'Fucking bastard.' However; his empty stomach prevents him from pushing the matter, as he takes notice of the fire and what looks like a perfectly cooked hog roasting over it. As he eats he stares at his aniki, trying to figure out what had possessed him to think what he thought last night. His saffron eyes trail the length of his hair that mimics his own in color but is much silkier in texture. His posture declares power and confidence and commands respect. His mokomoko sits on his shoulder as usual and his amour is straight and polished. The hanyou can't help but wonder what other people see when they looked at himself. He knew it would not compare to what they would think when they laid eyes on Sesshomaru. 'Keh, the miasma must have gotten to my head. I don't feel nowhere near as foolish as I did last night…what happened to his hand?' The daiyoukai's left hand is tattered with bruises and cuts as if he had taken some type of serious damage. "Ano…what happened to your hand?"
He watches him as he looks down at his hand as if he just realized that he was injured and notes how he tilts his head to the side in distaste." Hnn, must have happened when I went after the Anjuv."
"You went after it?"
"Hai, it is not something you have to worry yourself with any longer." He took care of it?...for me?' "But of course." Inuyasha looks up in time to see a very small deviant smirk cross the otherwise blank face of his brother." Now you owe me once more."
"NANI?!" 'I should have known!' "Keh, Now way in hell, you bastard! I didn't ask yah' to do that for me, now did I? Maybe if you learn to mind your—"The look he receives is enough to make him fall quiet. He didn't want to make this situation any worse by adding hostility between them so instead of finishing his retort he grumbles a quiet thanks." Whatever…thanks."
"Are you finished eating? Come along, I have no time to waste." As the hanyou follows the Inu-youkai once again through the forest he makes up his mind not to wait hours this time before breaking the uncomfortable silence by asking a question that has been nagging him all morning. "Why did you lick me?"
"Beg your pardon?"
"Last night! Why did you lick me after you chased away the Anjuv plant!?" He can't stop the small blush that creeps onto his face for being forced to repeat such a question.
"Are you referring to that basic healing technique?"
"Healing technique?" His hand automatically flies to his face and he blinks in surprise when he finds that the gash is completely healed and there's barely a trace of the wound having been there at all.
"Yes Inuyasha." There's no mistaking the exasperation in his voice. He obviously thinks this is common knowledge and any idiot with a brain should be aware of the strange youkai custom. "It is a simple youkai custom that every child learns when they are training."
That sets him off. Anger wells up in his chest, threatening to rip him apart as he tries to control his self. "I would know nothing about that, now would I?! Basic youkai custom?Hmm, let's see! Considering that I was raised by humans all my life and every youkai I've ever met has tried to eat me or kill me simply because I'm a hanyou; I DON'T THINK I'D KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT NO GOD DAMNED YOUKAI CUSTOM, DO YOU?!"
"…"
'Breathe Inuyasha. Breathe. In. Out. In. Out. How dare he?! How the hell am I supposed to know something like that? The one youkai in this world that was supposed to teach me these things was nowhere to be found. And when said bastard WAS found he wanted nothing to do with me. It's things like this that make me hate him…I hate him for hating me. What have I ever done? Whatever Inuyasha, it's much too late to be thinking like this. I don't care anyway. I didn't need him then and I definitely don't need him now.'
"…"
'Oh that's new. The bastard is speechless!'
"…Inuyasha."
"NANI?!"
Inutaisho's first born son continues to walk as he mulls over the hanyou's reaction. Even though it does not appear so, the demon lord is actually quite shocked by his show of emotions. He's never heard the young half-breed sound so…hurt…betrayed…lonely…" Do you resent me for not taking you in as a child?"
Bull's- eye. "Keh, Baaaaka! I could care less…just don't go around mocking me for something that's not my fault." This statement is followed by minutes of awkward silence. The only sounds that pierce the forest air are they crunching and snapping of leaves and twigs under the Inu-brother's feet. The sun is glowing brilliantly in the jay blue sky as birds sing their songs of love and life. The Earth is alive with majestic creatures that flea in their wake and the air is pleasantly warm. All in all, the day is ironic compared to how thick the tension is in the air and how the Inu-hanyou is feeling.
"Is that really how you feel, Otouto?" They both know that he doesn't use the tittle as a term of endearment but more as a sarcastic and teasing reminder.
"Yah' know what? I think I liked it better when you kept your big trap closed."
"Careful Inuyasha. You'd do best to simply answer my question." His tone is obviously warning and the hanyou misses the way his eyes narrow dangerously.
"What's the point?"
"We have five days left together after this one. Don't you think it wise for us to clear all hostilities before continuing one like this?"
"Why?" Sesshomaru can sense by the tone in his brother's voice that he is hell bent on being uncooperative.
"Because let us face it. You are infuriating and almost every time you open your mouth you make me want to rip your throat out. And I'm sure you share the same feelings—"
"Hell yes!"
"So." He throws a glare over his shoulder before continuing. "Let us reach some common ground that, in the near future, won't lead us to fighting to the death."
'I hate how he acts like he knows everything. He's absolutely right. My hand has been itching to draw Tessaiga this whole time. But what am I supposed to say? That I hate him?'
"Now. I will repeat myself once more; Do you resent me for not taking you in as a child?"
"…Of course! I mean I did! That's to be expected right? I was just a kid and you told me if you ever saw me again you'd kill me."
"Did I?
'This fucking idiot!' "Are yah' telling me you forgot?!"
"You must realize that I am much older than you. You haven't even reached full maturity and thanks to your weaknesses; you have spent fifty years of your life bound to a tree."
'Is that his sorry ass excuse? Well I'm not buying it. "Oh really?!" He had been trailing behind as usual but he front flips and lands right in front of his brother; staring him straight in the face with a mixture of disbelief and anger. "Well let me remind yah', hmm?" He moves closer just inches from the youkai's expressionless face. "I was only yey' high!" his hand shoots out to hover about three feet above the ground. "And my Kaasan had just died a couple days ago, and of course the humans had kicked me out of the village almost instantly. I had just finished running for my life for the fourth time that day before my weak nose caught a whiff of something foreign but something that drew me in. And who was it?! None other than my aniki."
"…"
"Oh it gets better. My Kaasan had described you and the old man plenty of times before so I knew who you were. So guess what my stupid ass did next?!" Inuyasha makes his eyes bigger in mock innocence and when he speaks his voice has a fake childish tone to it. "Onii-sama?! Onii-sama save me! Please they're trying to kill me! I don't know what I did! I had griped the hem of your kimono like a baka and you know what you did? You smacked me so hard that I fell and tears slipped from my stupid eyes and you said: 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. And you walked away! You just-you…you…just…left me."
"…"
"Now I have a question for you, my dear aniki." The words come out like venom being sprayed from a pissed cobra.
"…"
"How could you care for Rin and not me? What have I done that's so wrong? Do I really disgust you so much? What." His voice breaks as he fights the feelings rising and threatening to spill out in the form of tears. "What… have I ever done to you to make you hate me so much?" 'It hurts; it hurts so much I think I'm going to vomit. Why did I say all of that? What good will it do me to have him think I'm even more pathetic that he already suspects? But Kami, does it hurt. This pain is worse than any damage that Kagome or Kikyo could ever inflict. I should just run now. To hell with this agreement! I don't have to do ANYTHING, if I don't want to. Run. Run and never cross his path again like he's always wanted? Yeah that sounds good right about now.' He turns so quickly that his silver locks fly back from the wind as he prepares to run and never look back.
(Sesshomaru's POV)
The daiyoukai is actually stunned speechless as he watches his little brother stare up at him with such intensity and passion.
"I had griped the hem of your kimono like a baka and you know what you did? You smacked me so hard that I fell and tears slipped from my eyes and you said: 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. And you walked away! You just—you…you…just…left me."
"…" 'I remember now. He had come up to me looking much like he does now. Begging, this Sesshomaru, his only known family, to rescue him. I see the anger he's trying to use to cover up the feelings lying dormant within his heart. But I can see, Inuyasha. I can see the betrayal, the unfathomable sadness, the loneliness, and the…pain. Pain beyond the comprehension of my demon heart but even I know no being should have suffered as much as you have had to. Is this what you were trying to make me understand Otosan? Am I to ease his suffering? Do I want to?' He takes a long look at the damn near crying hanyou before him.
"What… have I ever done to you to make you hate me so much?"
'Why does it seem that I want to erase this feeling from him? Has he touched me in such a way with this showcase of emotion, that I'm sure I would have killed him for in the past? Has my heart undergone this many changes that even the hanyou I'm sure I despised can strike a pang of guilt within me?...What is he doing? Is he planning on running?' His highly trained senses pick up on Inuyasha's sudden shift and disturbance of the wind. 'I think not Inuyasha!' It seems like time freezes the way the demon lord grabs the fleeing Inu-pup. His clawed hand tightens around the hanyou's wrist but the boy makes no move to turn around and simply tugs harder in an effort to get free. But Sesshomaru is just not letting it happen. His grip tightens to a painful squeeze. "Stop it Inuyasha." His highly trained composure does not give away any of the things he had been thinking earlier.
"Kutabare! Let go of me, Sesshomaru. I mean it! Did you see the move I used to put an end to Naraku? I swear to Kami I'll use it on—! "The half-breed boy falls silent and his tear filled eyes widen in awe when his brother pulls him against his chest by his captured wrist. Sesshomaru does not release his wrist as his other arm slips under his otouto's arm and slides around his waist in a tight embrace. All is quiet and still as time catches up with the hanyou to realize what's happening.
"W-What are you doing, b-bakayaro?! L-let go of me!" He watches the hanyou struggle to no avail for two straight minutes before the boy finally goes limp and buries his face into his well-built chest. Only then does he release his wrist and pull him closer as his now free arm moves to caress his back. The brothers stand that way for Kami knows how long before Inuyasha looks up at his sibling. Sesshomaru takes notice that the boy's matching gold eyes are framed by a faint red color, signifying that he was crying. I quick glance down at his hakama confirms his suspicions when the expected tear stains are present. 'Inuyasha. The pain is still there? What more am I supposed to do? Is this not a common form of human affection and comfort? Maybe…'
"Ugh!" The hanyou grunts as the Inu-youkai grabs a firm hold of his chin; not taking his eyes off of him for a moment. His lips lower slowly to capture the younger's. Inuyasha sees it coming but can't move his face out of the strong grip and he can do nothing when the cold yet soft lips lock onto his own warm and full ones. Sesshomaru soon deepens the kiss by grabbing the back of the other's head; insuring no way for the boy to escape. It's not long before the hanyou feels the other's tongue press at his lips requesting—no demanding entrance to his mouth. But his pride won't allow him to be so submissive and his lips purse tight against the elder's. 'Is that how you want to play it, Otouto?' Inuyasha can't help but gasp when the elder nips at his lip with his front fang drawing blood. That's all he needed. In that moment Sesshomaru's tongue plunges into his brother's wet cavern, dominating it instantly.
"Mmmph~!" The hanyou fights desperately in the heated tongue match going on inside his mouth. His blush darkens when he hears himself make an embarrassing slurping noise as saliva spills out the corner of his mouth. The taste of blood and each other was enough to make the brother's bodies grow warm with want. Inuyasha swore to Kami the demon lord was trying to kill him with lack of oxygen by the time he finally sets the half-breed free. The younger dog demon falls back at the sudden release; panting madly. The lord himself simply stares down at the hanyou all the while wiping the corner of his mouth free of the saliva. 'So I see, that's what it takes to distract you, Hn? There's no trace of your previous feelings that were written all over your face.'
"Se-Sessho…w-why d-did you-? I mean what the hell—"Is all he can stammer out after a painful length of silence passes between them.
The unpredictable Inu-youkai steps over a forlorn Inuyasha; heading in the direction he had intended to be through with by now. "Come Inuyasha. You have put me drastically behind schedule."
"…"
'If this is what I must do to keep you silent and your emotions at bay, then…this shall be an interesting five days Otouto.'
