Chapter Five – Comparison
Within another week’s time, Sesshoumaru was able to sit up. Considering the abdominal area was where he sustained the most injuries, it went to show how youkai blood and human medicine somehow worked in harmony. Regardless, he was ready to go back to his castle. Mirouku and Rin’s presence were the only ones he could stand. The demon slayer, however, still wasn’t too fond of him.
Sango sat on Mirouku’s left, glaring heatedly at the youkai. She was ready to speak her mind but the monk was in her way; she didn’t want to upset him.
“Something on your mind, human?” Sesshoumaru drawled, stretching out his arm. He flexed his claw and curled his fingers into a fist. Mirouku and Rin, in unison, drew their hands up to cover their nose. A faint green glow appeared around Sesshoumaru’s remaining hand then disappeared. His Poison Claw was functioning once more. The golden eyes stared indifferently at the woman.
“Actually, something is,” Sango snapped. “I don’t know who you think you are but you don’t walk out on the one you claim you love.”
“Sango-chan,” Mirouku laughed nervously.
The taijiya was riled up good now. “When it comes to matters of the heart, no matter if you’re human or youkai, it’s a fragile thing that easily breaks.” Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow, wondering if the woman knew she was raising her voice at him. He glanced at his human to see him covering his face and shaking his head.
“Sesshoumaru-sama,” Rin interjected, the fur she wore trailing behind her as she walked over. “When are we going back to the castle? Rin’s not sure Jaken-sama’s still alive.”
Sango relaxed, releasing her frustration in a sigh. “What’s wrong with the toad?” she muttered.
“Rin left him tied to a rock,” the girl giggled.
“I’d leave right now,” the silver-haired man scoffed, changing the subject from his servant and glaring out the window. “But that human hag has me locked in.”
“Mirouku-sama can free you,” Rin stated, shuffling around Sesshoumaru. She picked up the monk’s staff.
“Kaede-sama has years of experience on me,” Mirouku said as he took his weapon from her. “I wouldn’t even be able to put a scratch on her barrier. But I don’t have to scratch it…” He stood with a soft groan. “Because I can leave. I’ll get you something to eat.” Smiling sweetly at Sesshoumaru, he made his way to the front of the hut. The brunet stopped and turned back to the trio with a small frown. “Play nice, both of you.”
The youkai and demon slayer shared a heated glare as Mirouku left them. Rin was too busy twirling in Sesshoumaru’s fur to notice.
Inuyasha was perched on the farm fence, his arms folded tightly against his chest as he watched Anko happily chase the livestock. He sighed deeply—something was nagging him and he couldn’t quite place it. “Inu—yasha!” The hanyou scowled and stood on the narrow, wooden plank. He turned and glared down at the monk that ran up.
Mirouku waved with the hand not holding his staff but a paper bag.
Inuyasha’s eyes narrowed suspiciously and he sniffed the air. “Meat buns. For him?” The brunet nodded with a broad smile. He took a small step back as Inuyasha jumped down, giving him the room he needed. Behind his smiles, something always hid. Right now, it was how long would he be able to keep hiding the truth. Something was bound to slip. “Am I the only one who knows what he’s like?” Inuyasha spat. He lifted the panting Anko over the fence after calling her over. She held his claw tightly as they strolled along.
Mirouku sighed and used his staff as a walking cane as he followed the hanyou. “You’re not the only one. Sesshoumaru… Don’t you think people can change? Take yourself, for example.” ‘Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are so similar, it’s scary.’
Inuyasha didn’t comment. His ears twitched as they rounded the corner to the hut and he gradually slowed his pace until he finally stopped. Anko stared up at him with her soulful amethyst eyes. Hojou couldn’t quit gushing over them both yesterday on the night of the new moon.
Mirouku didn’t like the way the hanyou’s expression was changing. “Inuyasha, I don’t know—”
“Apparently you do know what Sesshoumaru is like.” With shadowed features, Inuyasha picked up Anko and leapt onto the nearest hut. He then disappeared into the trees.
Mirouku groaned in frustration and ran the rest of the way to Kaede’s hut. He stormed in and hurled the bag of steamed meat buns in the direction he knew Sesshoumaru’s head was. The youkai caught the projectile object and dropped it. “I said play nice! What were you arguing about?”
“You heard us?” Sango gasped.
“No. I can’t hear that well.”
The taijiya’s eyes widened but the question on her mind was spoken differently through lips other than her own. Kagome came running into the hut. “What’s wrong with Inuyasha?” she asked breathlessly. “He just went through the well in a huff.”
“I’d like to see this well everyone keeps talking about,” Sesshoumaru stated offhandedly. He ignored the glares shot in his direction; it wasn’t his fault his foolish little brother had shown his true colors by behaving like the spoiled brat that he was. As the pointless argument between humans continued, he picked up the paper bag the monk had thrown. He opened it and handed an unharmed bun to the smiling girl beside him. Sesshoumaru then took one for himself and, with Rin, watched the show.

Hojou stared at the ball of red cloth curled up on the corner of his bed. He’d never seen Inuyasha like this before and was unsure what to do. “What emotion was he feeling right now” and “how to assess it” were the questions running through his head.
“Onii-chan?”
The boy looked down at the pouting girl. “No games,” he said with a sad smile. “It’s too much noise.” Hojou was thinking of Inuyasha. “We can go to the park.”
“All right,” Anko said dejectedly. She went off to search for an outfit in the clothes Hojou had bought for her.
The brunet took a deep breath and climbed onto the bed. He lightly touched Inuyasha’s shoulder and the half-demon twitched. “Inuyasha… what’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” came the muffled and mumbled reply. “Just… I’ll be fine. Go with Anko.”
Hojou sighed and placed a kiss to the white tresses. “I’ll see you later.”
Inuyasha tightened his frame as the door closed then relaxed, his ears flopping downward. He wasn’t angry or anything; the monk could sleep with whomever he wanted—he could care less. It was Sesshoumaru and his actions that threw him for a loop.
Inuyasha scoffed and turned onto his side. “For all his talk and attitude, he still falls below his standards to mate with a human.” He slowly sat up and glared around the empty room. It wouldn’t do him any good worrying over a problem that wasn’t even his. Grabbing the black cap nearby, he set about getting ready to join his humans.
If the Inu no Taisen could see his sons, he’d be laughing in great amusement.
