                                                               *review *

"Kagome I don't think you understand...Tonight is the night of the new moon and we have no idea as to where he is" Miroku explained.

"What is so important about this night?" Sesshomaru was confused as to why everyone was getting so worked up.

"This is the night that my papa turns human" Shippo said with the hint of fear in his voice. No one understood why Inuyasha would run off at a time like this. Inuyasha and his brother had gotten close so it couldn't have been because Sesshomaru was with them 'Could it have been because I turned my back to him?' The demon lord was now feeling worried for his brother.

                                                            Eyes are meant to be open



Inuyasha was walking around with no idea as to where he was going but as of now he really didn’t care. Sure he knew what day it was and that he was walking in unknown territory but he had to get away. When he finally came to a stop he was standing in front of a river. ‘And where there is a river, there is bound to be a waterfall’ he thought. The half demon walked up the river bank until he had seen that the waters were starting to move faster and just as he thought, not too much farther he was face to face with a waterfall.

He looked up behind it and was happy to find a cave that he could hide in but first he had to hide his scent. Inuyasha ran a good distance away from the waterfall circling every tree he came across before back tracking his steps back to the cave, walked into the river to wash his scent and jumped into the cave.

            He’d been sitting there for hours as the events from the other night played over and over again in his head. “I knew I should have kept my damn mouth shut, or better yet I should have never let that jerk join our group” He wiped at the lone tear that slid down his face “I should have stuck to my word of never telling him.” Inuyasha kept his tears in the best he could with only two or three slipping out every now and again.

            “That shithead just had to turn his back to me! Who in the pits of hell would turn their back to someone after they just confessed their love!?!” With that all his tears came rushing out of him like they never had before. Sure he cried once or twice in his life, but having a back turned to him hurt a little less or maybe just as much as it did when his mother died. “Couldn’t he just have told me no? Or was that little act with Sango real and the two really are together?”

            His tears turned from being sorrow to anger. “And to think I trusted her…but come to think of it, that may just be the reason she was so set on letting him join and why she always came back to camp smelling like him.” As much as he wanted to believe that something told him it wasn’t true.

He knew that the sun was starting to set and could do nothing but wait for the night to take place. “I only want him to love me” Inuyasha wiped at his tares only to have more fall.

            Else where Sesshomaru knew that he was getting angry while trying to find his brother’s scent. It wasn’t because of Inuyasha running of but more so at himself for not explaining to his brother, why he couldn’t return his feelings before walking away. ‘He loves me…I don’t understand my feelings for him so I could think of nothing else to do but leave.’ the yokai found Inuyasha’s scent but it was very faint so he had to follow it now before it was lost.

When everyone seen that the Lord had began to walk faster they all followed after him. They were walking in silence before it was broken by Miroku. “Have you guys ever noticed that Inuyasha always seem to disappear on every third month?” That caused everyone except Sesshomaru to actually think about it.

Sango looked at the monk with an understanding look “I was just thinking the same thing.” Though Kagome acted like she really didn’t care, inside her thoughts were on the same path as the others.

“Inuyasha does stay with us on the new moon for two months but then on the third he’s nowhere to be found. I always thought he just wanted to be alone or something because he felt like he was a burden, but now that I think about it there is a pattern to his disappearance.” Sesshomaru had given Miroku his full attention at his comment. “He has done this before then?”

Sango heard the concern in the daiyokai voice though his face was as cold as ever. “Yes he has pulled this move on us for as long as we’ve been traveling with him. He stays with us for two months and leaves on the third. If you ask me I’d say it’s a never ending cycle.” She explained.

Hours later Sesshomaru and the guys arrived at the river and the half demons scent began to get stronger with every step. “We are getting closer but we must hurry if we plan to get to him before the sun sets.”

Halfway to the water fall the sun had completely left the sky leaving everyone but Sesshomaru to panic. “What are we going to do know? Sesshomaru doesn’t have Inuyasha’s human scent and Shippo’s nose isn’t fully developed to know where he could be.” Sango was becoming more and more worried.

Inuyasha had hoped that they would take the bait and follow the trail he had left to throw them off but Sesshomaru was too smart for it. He sniffed the area and found that his brother’s smell went a little farther away from the falls but stopped midway with no other scent to follow. He had a smirk on his face and actually chuckled at Inuyasha’s attempt to hide himself. ‘Clever little brother’ he walked closer to the waterfall seeing a small cave behind it. “But not clever enough” he said out loud startling everyone with his sudden comment.

Without saying a word Sesshomaru jumped into the cave only to be met with black hair down the back of his half-breed brother. “Inuyasha” The human sitting before him stiffened at hearing his name being called but didn’t answer.

Sango and Miroku had made their way up on the back of Kirara and Shippo brought Kagome with one of his transformations. “There you are Inuyasha” At the sound of Miroku’s and Sesshomaru’s voice Inuyasha scooted to the back of the cave with his back still turned to them, head down.

“Why would you run off like that you idiot I mean really?!? Did you not know what kind of danger you could have gotten yourself in?!?” Inuyasha flinched at Kagome’s voice.

Sango put her hand on her friend’s shoulders telling her to calm down and relax. “Inuyasha we were very worried about you” Sango couldn’t understand why the hanyou wouldn’t look at them. “Are you alright?” still no answer came.

Shippo looked at his papa and just as he began to walk over to him he was stopped in his tracks. “Don’t come any farther, just turn around and leave now” Though Sesshomaru’s face said cold, his eyes had nothing but confusion written in them at the sound of Inuyasha voice. It sound like his voice was being strained or in other words forced. ‘Could this be because of the change?’

He then remembered that the fox child had told him only Inuyasha’s features changed. The yokai had to be sure he wasn’t mistaken about what he heard. “Inuyasha tell me brother, why would you run away? If it was because what I and Sango had done then you should know that I have no feeling for her other than that of a companion.”

“No it’s not that… I just wanted to get away for awhile…now please all of you leave, I don’t want you to see me like this.” Sesshomaru was not mistaken. To a human ear it would sound as if he was talking the same but to him and maybe even Shippo his voice was being forced.

“What do you man see you like this Inuyasha? We have already seen you in your human form so why is now any different?” The monk got no answer to his question.

“Papa why do you smell so weird…I know how you smell when you’re human but this is…” He took one more sniff to the air and scrunched his nose at the scent. “Different”

Sesshomaru followed Shippo’s example and took in a deep breath as well. ‘Of course…why have I not noticed this sooner?’ He looked at his brother’s back and realized that his figure was more slim than usual. “Turn around brother.”

Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed when Inuyasha didn’t move. “Then explain to me what is going on. I know that you know what I am talking about so do not lie to me because I will know and we will not leave until I get an answer.” He began walking towards Inuyasha giving off a warning growl.

“Alright I’ll tell you!! You guys just couldn’t leave me alone” realizing that he had no choice he slowly turned to face everyone, hearing gasps all around the cave. It was dark but it wasn’t dark enough for the ningens not to see what took place before them.

Inuyasha’s masked voice fell taking the place of a female. It still sounded like Inuyasha but lighter and more feminine. All eyes were glued to the human sitting before their eyes. Sesshomaru was mesmerized at the sight before him. “Would you all stop looking at me like that? It’s making me uncomfortable so if you have questions ask them now before I change my mind.”

Sesshomaru walked closer looking down at the half demon turned human. The person sitting before him couldn’t be who he thought it was for the woman had died years ago. It just couldn’t be the one that he hated, the one that his father had died for, the one that birthed his half brother. “Izayoi?” Inuyasha chuckled which sounded more like a light giggle. “Well big brother that really isn’t a question but no. Though when in this form I do like to believe that I take after my mother in her looks”

‘I’ll say…If I didn’t know any better I would say this is her twin.’ The yokai kneeled down to be eye level with Inuyasha causing him to blush and turn his head away. Before Sesshomaru could ask his question Miroku beat him to it. “Why do you look like a female?”

*at this moment Inuyasha will be known as she*

“It’s because at the moment I am one and I’ll tell you now, if that hand of yours touches me I will not hesitate to cut it off.” The monk took a step back at the threat leaving the girls to chuckle.

“But how could you be a girl? I mean you took baths with Miroku and I’m sure he would have noticed if you were a girl as soon as he looked at you.” The monk smirked at Sango’s words knowing that it was the truth. Sesshomaru was too caught up with his brother’s…oh um sister’s looks that he didn’t hear what anyone was saying. His hand reached to turn Inuyasha’s face back towards him studying her looks. “How?” Inuyasha’s face was now the color of a tomato staring into her brother’s eyes. “I-I was” She pushed his hand away, breaking their eye contact. “I wa-was born a twin” Shock flew all throughout the cave. No one spoke a word to anyone as they let this new information sank in.

“This is not a place to talk” Sesshomaru stood from his spot lifting Inuyasha up into his arms bridal style. “Come we will make camp” Every one of them got out of the cave the same way that they had gotten in. Once camp was set up the female Inuyasha was overwhelmed with the looks from her friends telling her that they wanted answers and they wanted them now. “If you have a twin then why have we never met?” all nodded in agreement to Sango’s question

“You’re meeting right now” She looked at the confused faces of all her comrades and sighed. “Look all I know is that when I was conceived, my sister and my cells had somehow blinded together and now every third month as you can see, this happens.” She pointed to her body. “I turn into a male trapped inside female’s body. On the outside it’s me with my sister’s voice and body, but on the inside my sister is there and I only know that because I can communicate with her in my mind.”

“But why would you keep such a thing a secret and from your own friends at that.” Kagome was now hurt that her friend would do such a thing. The girl looked at the miko “Oh so you’re talking to me now? What happened to ‘Oh I hate you Inuyasha! You’re such a jerk!’” she mimicked making Kagome shut her mouth. “How long has this been happening?” Sango asked causing Inuyasha to look at her.

“It was when I…when I was five.” He thought back to that day where it had all began.

*Flashback*

It was late at night and a five year old Inuyasha had been running through the forest trying to find a place to hide. His mother had died about two weeks ago leaving him alone to fend for himself and like always the humans were after him. He didn’t understand why they were after him when all he did was ask them for something to eat.

“Get back here you little demon brat!!”

“I’ll teach you to come knocking on my door again!!!”

“Hurry up you idiots before we lose him!”

  Inuyasha could hear the threats being made and his only thoughts were to find somewhere to hide and find it fast. Finally he found an opening under a tree and crawled under it holding his legs to his chest. Inuyasha was trying his hardest to get his breathing under control while he watched the eight men run past him. After he was sure they were all gone the hanyou relaxed as he crawled from under the tree in tears. “Why did you have to go mama? I miss you so much and these stupid humans keep trying to hurt me.” He sobbed with his head down clawing at the ground with his undeveloped claws. “Oh yea mommy I didn’t tell you…I ran into my big brother yesterday. It’s not really shocking but…” Inuyasha’s sobbing became more frantic as he cried his heart out. “He hates me! Why does everyone hate me mommy? All humans and demons want me dead and I don’t know why!”

The half demon wiped at his tears slowly calming himself down so no one could hear him or he’d be running for his life again. Inuyasha began to lie down in the grass looking at the stars like he and his mother use to do when she was alive. “I’m so hungry, I miss my mama and no one wants to be my friend.” He sighed wiping the last of his tears away.

*I’ll be your friend* The half-breed shot up looking around the area and tried to find the scent for the owner of the voice but found none. Laying back in his spot Inuyasha brushed it off as his imagination. *Do you not want to be my friend? Is that why you won’t answer me?*

Inuyasha sat up looking around but again he found no one. “W-where…W-who are you” He didn’t know where the voice had come from but it sounded like a girls voice so he wasn’t afraid.

*I don’t have a name and I don’t know where I am but I do know that I’m sitting in front of a pond* Inuyasha looked confused, he was sitting in front of a pond but there was no one there with him. “I can here you but I can’t see you” the young pup said still looking for whoever it was that was talking to him.

*That’s funny because I was going to say the same thing. I thought I was going crazy when I heard you speaking but I couldn’t see you.* The voice said as if she was amused. It was then that Inuyasha realized that the voice was coming from inside his head.

“I can hear your voice is in my head…Cool” He stood up from his spot on the ground and began walking towards the pound for a drink of water. “Oh and my name is Inuyasha by the way.” It was then that Inuyasha remembered the voice had told him she didn’t have a name and quickly jumped to thinking of one. “We have to think of a name for you” he thought long and hard until a name finally came to him. “What about Asami?”

*Asami…I like it!* Inuyasha smiled to himself happy that he didn’t give her an ugly name. From that moment on Asami had become Inuyasha’s best friend that only he himself could have. It didn’t matter to them that they couldn’t see each other, or how they could speak within their mind all that mattered was that they had a friend who wasn’t trying to kill them. They had come up with the agreement that they were now by themselves and could trust no one but each other.

The rest of the month felt like it had passed within a day but the two had grown closer than ever, talking every night and day as if they were standing right next to each other. All was well but tonight was the night of the new moon and Inuyasha was afraid that if he was human he wouldn’t be able to hear Asami. He never liked this day in every month and he definitely didn’t want to be left alone with no one to talk to while he hid for his life. *Don’t worry so much Inu* He could see a face smiling in his head causing him to smile in return.

“I know Asami, it’s just that…my mama was always with me on nights like this. She would hold me in her harms telling me it would be ok, and sing to me until I feel sleep. It’s going to feel so different without her and if I can’t hear you it will only make it worse.” The little half demon pup explained.

*I understand but it’s nothing we can do about it other than wait for the sun to set* Asami hated to hear her friend worry but there was nothing she could do. As the sun began to set Inuyasha could feel his aura slowly began to change from that of a half demon to that of a human. He sat up in a tree with a lock of hair in his hands waiting for the change to take place and when it did he watched as his hair turned from silver to black. Sighing he let go of his hair “Asami are you there?” his eyes went wide as he heard Asami’s voice saying the same thing he was.

When the half-breed got no answer he tried again. “Asami?” still he got nothing but again he heard her voice. Inuyasha looked down at his hands only to be shocked at the fact that his nails were growing. ‘Every time I turn human my nails are short so why are they growing now?’

“This is weird.” He jumped when again he heard the girl’s voice but didn’t see her anywhere. “huuuu…” That one sigh had poor little Inuyasha almost fell out of the tree. ‘Did that voice come from me?’

“Hi” The hanyou said making sure his ears weren’t wrong. He gasped when he realized he wasn’t imagining it. Now that he thought about it his hair was a little longer and he felt just a little shorter than he was. Inuyasha climbed down the tree, ran over to the lake and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. There in the lake was the reflection of his deceased mother staring right back at him but as a little girl. Inuyasha wasn’t stupid, sure he may be five but he knew when something wasn’t real, but it was hurtful that his mind would play such a trick.

He walked back over to the tree with tears in his eyes, for just like he feared Inuyasha was all alone on this night with changes happening to his body that he didn’t understand. When the human child sat down back against the tree his tears started to fall and he began to sing the song that always made him feel better.

Come stop your crying it will be alright

Just take my hand hold it tight

I will protect you from all around you

I will be there don’t you cry

   He wiped at his tears when they started to fall even more with images of his mother taking over his mind. Inuyasha could see her smiling face and hear her laughter when he would chase after the animals in the forest. He could see his mother holding him in her arm and rocking him to sleep.

For one so small, you seem so strong

My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm

This bond between us can’t be broken

I will be here don’t you cry

Cause you’ll be in my heart

Yes you’ll be in my heart

From this day on now and forever more

You’ll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You’ll be in my heart, always…

Inuyasha’s eyes slowly began to drift shut as sleep over came him. He dreamt his mother was sitting next to him and they were playing. They were having fun but then the village men and even their sons walked up to the mother and child. Some were throwing rocks while others held arrows and swords telling them to leave or they both would die.

Young Inuyasha hid within his mother’s arms crying as she picked up her child walking away. She began to sang to him when they got somewhere safe knowing that the song would calm her child. He could still hear his mother’s voice as she sang the last part of the song.

Why can’t the understand the way we feel?

They just don’t trust what they can’t explain

I know we’re different but deep inside us

We’re not that different at all

Don’t listen to them cause what do they know?

We need each other to have, to hold

They’ll see in time I know

When destiny calls you

You must be strong

I may not be with you but you’ve got to hold on

They’ll see in time I know

We’ll show them together

*End flashback*

            “That day I couldn’t hear Asami but with every time that I turned into a girl her voice slowly came back to me. Because I was so young I didn’t really think much about my transformation, but as time moved on and I got older, reality hit. Hearing a voice in my head, changing into a female every third month, I knew something wasn’t right so I went to find someone who could help me. After days of searching I finally ran into a healer and she explained to me why it was happening…because I had a twin sister.” Inuyasha came back to herself with a lone tear on her right cheek.

“Pap…I mean…um” poor Shippo wanted to comfort Inuyasha but didn’t know what to call his parent sitting next to him. Was Inuyasha still his Papa or should he call him Mama?

“It’s alright Shippo I’m still you father just in a different body.” She smiled down at him “So don’t you dare start calling me mama or I will rip your tail off.” Her words caused Shippo to shudder but he smiled crawling into the woman’s lap. ‘Yup…that’s still papa and I can see now why he doesn’t need his heat to say if he’s a uke or a seme’

Hearing Inuyasha talk about his young life made Kagome realize that Inuyasha wasn’t the one being selfish. To be shunned by humans and demon, then get sealed to the sacred tree by the one he loved, only to be put on a leash by the one who claims to love him. She didn’t want to lose him but she knew it would have happened sooner or later. It was like her mother always said ‘If you love something let it go’.

“Inuyahsa I’m sorry” Kagome whispered with her head down. “I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did. I was being selfish and deserved every word that you said that day. Please forgive me because now I see that…I’d rather have you in my life then to not have you at all.” She sighed looking into his eyes. “If I can’t have you for a lover then can I at least have you for a friend?”

“I forgive you Kagome but I have to ask that you forgive me as well. I could have responded in a better way but I was just so angry that I just snapped. In truth I didn’t mean what I said…I did have feelings for Kikyou and I even started to have the same feelings for you, but they weren’t as strong as they were for…” She looked at Sesshomaru from the corner of her eyes. “Anyway I realized that my feelings for you two were more on the family line and I’m sorry for leading you on.” Inuyasha smiled at the miko. “Also I would love to be your friend again”

Miroku nodded happy that the two had made up. He was about to ask a question but before he could say anything Sango saw the look in his eyes and grabbed his arm. “Ask what I think you’re going to and I’ll rip this arm right off.” The monk gulped at the threat but gave a reassuring smile too the taijiya. “Do not fret my dear Sango for no matter how beautiful Inuyasha is, your body will be the only place I plan to lay my seed if you shall allow it.”

All the blood rushed to Sango’s face as Inuyasha burst with laughter. “Well Sango I say that makes up for that little stunt you pulled with my brother the other day.”

Miroku smiled with amusement when Sango let go of his arm and moved away from him “As I was going to ask, why do you only make this transformation 4 days within the year? Also when you do why do you hide yourself?”

Inuyasha was about to answer the monk’s question until her face was turned to look into amber eyes. Sesshomaru had been sitting there next to her the whole time not knowing what to say or do but to let his eyes travel, reading and studying his sister’s body. He looked deep into her eyes with one hand under her chin to keep her looking at him, while the other ran through her hair. Sango sat looking at the two curiously and if she didn’t know any better she would say Sesshomaru was moving closer like he was about to kiss her but instead buried his nose into her neck. That was until Inuyasha pushed him away. “Will you stop that!?!” The half demon turned her head with a deep blush on her face. “You’re acting like a love sick puppy or something”

Inwardly Inuyasha was beating herself up for what she just did. Fact was if Sesshomaru didn’t learn to love Inuyasha as female and male then he couldn’t let a relationship form between the two. “To answer your question Miroku, I still have no idea why it only happens 4 times and as for why I hide myself…I don’t really think I want to talk about it.” Everyone fell silent after that answer, no one wanting to push any farther.

No one was talking, Shippo was asleep in Inuyasha’s lap and Kirara was sleep next to Sango everyone thought the conversation was over. That was until a certain dog yokai grabbed a hold of Inuyasha’s hand raising it to his nose and smelling her palm. The Lord hadn’t asked any question’s since camp was set up and his mind was only focused on his sister. He wanted to know every curve on her body, and the scent that she gave off but then there was a loud slap heard throughout the forest. All heads turned to a very shocked, head turned slightly to the right and the darkest hand print on his left cheek, Sesshomaru.

“Will you snap out of it dipshit!!” Somehow Inuyasha had pushed Shippo off her lap without waking the fox and standing to her feet at the same time. “Don’t you dare try to hug up all over me now when you never once showed me this kind of attention when I was a guy! Just because I’m in a girl’s body don’t mean that I’m not still me so back the fuck off!!” The yokai looked up at his sister while holding his hand over the place she had hit him.

Everyone was shocked that Sesshomaru hadn’t gotten up to try and kill Inuyasha for laying his hands on him. Sango was scared that all of her work was going to be washed away after this moment. “If your only acting like this because I’m in this body than tuff shit asshole cause come the morning I’ll be back to myself…what are you going to do then huh brother?” The daiyokai hand had dropped listening to what Inuyasha was saying.

“I already told you how I felt now it’s your turn! You can’t tell me that you don’t know or can’t understand your feelings and then try to flirt with me now that you know the truth! So if you love me then say something but if you don’t than take your sorry demon ass and go home!!!” Sesshomaru was playing with her emotions and she just couldn’t take it anymore. Inuyasha picked up her son, moving away from the demon and lying on the ground with Shippo wrapped in her arms going to sleep.

Miroku and Kagome followed example and they too were on their way to sleep. Sango on the other hand was looking at Sesshomaru and the pained look on his face. She didn’t know if she should go and comfort him or just leave him alone. Sango decided to just leave it alone until morning.

*Inuyasha is a guy again*

When the sun reached over the horizon Inuyasha woke instantly. He was greeted by the site of his kit lying next to him and his friends sleeping on the ground but there was no sign of Sesshomaru. Inuyahsa couldn’t see his brother but he knew that he was still around by his scent which was leading back to the river.

The half demon got up and followed his brothers scent ‘Maybe if we’re alone he would talk to me and tell me why he turned his back. I guess I should apologize’ As he reached his destination, his brother’s scent was there but he wasn’t. Inuyasha looked around the area but still he found sign of him until out of nowhere he was turned to face said demon. “Why are you here Inuyasha? What is it that you want?”

“Do I need a reason to want and come spend time with my brother? Make up for the time that was lost…Damn even I think that’s a lame excuse” Inuyasha chuckled before taking a seat with his back up against a tree. There was an awkward silence between the two, Inuyasha playing with the grass and Sesshomaru never leaving where he stood. “You know it’s weird” Inuyasha now had Sesshomarus full attention.

“Not too long ago we were trying to kill each other…well more so you trying to kill me and me trying to defend myself.” He watched as Sesshomaru took a seat across from him with his legs crossed and hands in his sleeves. “You know I never did like fighting you. It hurt me every time I had to draw my sword, every time you would come speaking death on me. Whenever I saw a scratch on your being I was ready to kill myself for even putting it there.” He looked his older brother dead in the eyes. “You know I was really going to let you take my life that day you asked to join us. I was just so tired of fighting and hurting myself in the process while you walked off with not so much but a little scratch on your cheek.” Sesshomaru sat listening to his brother not knowing what to say as he spoke his heart. “I even counted all the times you tried to kill me and so far I got 249, but I don’t hold it against you. That time when I was younger and you saved me from that…whatever kind of demon that was, you told me then that only you could take my life. I asked you that day why you didn’t just kill me now. Do you remember?”

In fact Sesshomaru did remember that day and he could still hear the words that were spoken by him.

*mini flashback*

Sesshomaru had just killed the snake demon that was chasing after the five year old Inuyasha. “You look like me…are you the brother that my mommy told me about? Are you here to take care of me?”

The demon glared down at the pathetic hanyou. “You assume I am here to take you with me but I will not dirty myself with your presence. I have no relations to you for you are nothing but an embarrassment to our family blood I should just kill you where you stand”

Young Inuyasha backed away from the dog lord but never dropped his gaze. “So you hate me too then…but so far everyone who hates me tried to kill me so why have you saved me rather than let me die?”

“You are a taint in my blood line and only I shall take your life away” Sesshomaru started to walk away only to be stop by a little half demon standing in front of him. “Then why won’t you just kill me now?”

Sesshomru growled in annoyance pushing Inuyasha out of his way “I do not enjoy an easy kill” and with that he was gone.

*End mini flashback*

Inuyasha smiled when he had seen the look on his brother’s face. “You don’t enjoy an easy kill but as I got older and became able to fight back you never once killed me. Yeah you got close with your hand going through my chest and all but every time you had the chance you never took it. You would always save me, claim you’ll kill me and never stick to it.”

Sesshomaru closed his eyes while regret washed over him. Had he really threatened and even attempted to kill his brother so many times? The demon Lord knew he couldn’t change the past for it had already happened but maybe he could bring about a better future and be the big brother that he should have been.

“Oh and I guess I should say I’m sorry for snapping on you last night. I didn’t mean almost anything I said…I just don’t know wha…” Inuyasha was cut off when to his surprise there was a clawed hand over his mouth.

“Do not apologize for something that was my fault.” He removed his hand and sighed. “It is I who apologize for my actions. Though I cannot say I don’t know why I did it because it would be a lie for I know exactly why I had done such a thing and it was shameful.” Sesshomaru sat back down but this time he was next to his baby brother. “It was not my intentions to hurt you when I turned my back to your confession. I didn’t know what else to do for I myself have been confused about the emotions you bring out of me.” Inuyasha was shocked his brother was apologizing and even telling him why.

“What kind of emotions?” The hanyou was now curious as to what his brother’s feelings were, and if they were the same as his were they strong enough for them to be together.

“It feels as if it is brotherly love but at some point it changes to something I have yet to understand.” Sesshomaru mask had disappeared somewhere during the conversation and all Inuyasha could see was confusion in his eyes.

Although it hurt to know that Sesshomaru only thought of him as his Otouto Inuyasha was not going to give up hope that his feeling might change in time. “Do you really wish me to leave Inuyasha?” The question had come out of nowhere and Inuyasha wasn’t prepared for it. “You told me in the night that if I do not return your feelings then I should just take my sorry demon ass and go home so I ask is that what you want?”

Sesshomaru had used the exact words that Inuyasha had thrown at him and it made the half-breed feel guilty. “I told you I was just mad and didn’t mean it but if you want to leave then so be it…I won’t stop you.” Inuyasha stood to his feet followed by Sesshomaru.

“It is time we get back to the others, I am sure they are wondering where we are.” The hanyou inwardly smiled taking his brothers words as a sign that he would stay and began walking back to the camp site. “Before we go, do tell me something brother. Why do you harbor these feeling for the one whom on more than one occasion caused you so much pain? And how do you know…that it’s love?”

“Man why did you have to go and ask that? You’re going to have me sounding like a freaking girl.” Inuyasha’s eyes went to focus on the river when he decided upon himself to answer his brother. “I know its love because…well because…” The hanyou sighed when he realized he didn’t know how to word his emotions. “You haunt my every dream and my thoughts are always about you. I feel a strong connection… at first I had tried to push it off as me just looking for the brother I never had but then I found out it was more. Thinking of you, dreaming of you and no matter what the cause was I just wanted to be around you. Every time I ever saw you fight I would wish that you came out alive because I can’t see life without you in it.” Inuyasha smiled to himself.

‘I guess that’s how one would put it’ he shrugged figuring it was good enough. “And as for why I feel the way I do there are many reasons. It could be your strength, your rare smile, the way you walk, the sound of your voice, and maybe even because of you devilish good looks. I mean really Lord Sesshomaru your eyes are like a tunnel of gold that one wouldn’t mind getting lost in.” Sesshomaru looked amused by Inuyasha’s teasing as the two began to walk back to camp. When they got back to camp everything was packed up and everyone was ready to go and not one of them asked where the brothers had been.

            During the journey Sesshomaru sat for hours thinking about Inuyasha’s words and just how much they reflected the way he felt. Hours turned to days and days turned to weeks but no matter how much his inner demon was pushing him to Inuyasha the Lord was still fighting it and it didn’t help that he and Sango didn’t meet at night anymore. Inuyasha opened something inside Sesshomaru and the yokai was afraid to let it out but he knew he had to or it would eat at his insides until he gave in.

            The Inu gang had begun to make their way back to Kaede’s village so that Kagome could spend some time with her family and restack on supplies. The daiyokai could hear his brother and the miko arguing about how much time she could spend home and his brother was losing badly. The monk and the taijiya tried to reason with them but their voices were not heard over the loud yelling. The Kit and the nekomata tried to stay far away from them so that they wouldn’t get caught in the middle.

Sesshomaru stopped walking when he picked up a scent in the wind and instantly jumped to the defense. When Kagome stopped her yelling Inuyasha knew something was wrong. “Inuyasha there’s a jewel shard coming this way!!”

As soon as those words left the ningen mouth a rat demon came at them from the right. “Give me your shards or die!!”

Inuyasha smiled and the demon’s words. “If you want the shards then you’ll have to come take them from us ugly!” The half-breed stepped in front of his brother blocking his view. “Don’t you even dare try and take my kill.” With that the rat launched its self at them only to fall face first to the ground as Inuyasha’s foot came crashing down on its back.

“What happened to the ‘or die’ huh fat ass?” Inuyasha laughed and jumped out of the way when the demon’s claws almost made contact with his arm. “You almost had me there but too bad.” Before the demon could turn and locate his position Inuyasha stuck his claws within his palm. “You just too slow…Blades of blood!!”

Though the half demon threw the attack he purposely missed only cutting off one of the demon’s legs. “Oh come on that attack was way off and you couldn’t even dodge it!?”

“Inuyasha will you shut up and just kill the damn thing!?!” The hanyou smirked and turned towards Kagome and everyone else who was just standing there watching. “The shard is in his neck so kill it already”

“Kill joy!” While his back was turned the rat demon pounced on Inuyasha, only managing to dig its large claws into the half demons shoulder before it was throw to the ground. Sesshomaru felt himself go stiffen and his heart beat in his chest trying to get out at his brother yell of pain. He was about to kill the demon until he had seen Inuyasha draw tessaiga.

“I didn’t want my fun to end so soon but I’ll teach you to put your dirty hands on me again!!” As soon as the rat demon was on its feet again tessaiga came down onto his back going straight through. Inuyasha ran his sword up the demon’s back before Inuyasha chopped its head clean off. Miroku and Kagome went to get the shikon jewel shard while Sango and Shippo went to see if inuyasha was alright.

In a blink of the eye Sesshomaru was already next to Inuyasha who was now on his knees holding his left shoulder. He was trying to get Inuyasha to take off his haori o he could inspect the injury Inuyasha wouldn’t stop fighting him. “Let me see how bad it is Inuyasha” Inuyasha was too ashamed that he let himself get injured and he didn’t want his near him at the moment. That was until he was kicked onto his back with his haori being yanked off of him by a very pissed of Sesshomaru.

The dog Lord sat on Inuyasha with one leg on both sides of his waist to keep his brother from trying to run. Having no option Inuyasha just laid there letting Sesshomaru’s hand run over his wound. He tried to keep himself under control but his brother on top of him wasn’t helping. “It doesn’t look bad so give it three or four days and it shall heal.” Inuyasha sighed when Sesshomaru got off of him and he went to put his shirt back on but as his hand reached out it was grabbed by that same dog lord. “What is it now Sesshomaru?”

“You will see to it that you never worry me again.” Before Inuyasha had any time to protest his eyes went wide as there were lips pressed to his in a gentle kiss. They heard someone gasps but that was all before all of their voices drifted away when Inuyasha returned the kiss. Slowly Inuyasha’s eyes slid shut when he felt a warm tongue tracing the outline of his lips asking for entrance which the half demon gave without a second thought. Their kiss had begun to deepen with two tongues fighting for dominance which Sesshomaru won. Inuyasha’s taste was sweet and something he couldn’t put his finger on but the daiyokai traveled his brother’s mouth setting it to memory. The kiss had gotten so deep to where Inuyasha was slowly being laid on his back with his brother on top of him.

Inuyasha arms went around his brother’s neck and moaned into the kiss when he felt a sharp fang give a light nip to his bottom lip drawing a little speck of blood. The shouts given off by their comrades slowly began to come to them as the need for air broke them out of their lip lock. When his breath was caught Sesshomaru ran the back of his clawed hand down Inuyasha’s face. “I see now, what I have been blind to for so many years.” He watched as Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes to look at him.

“My eyes are finally open an I now see that I ‘Lord Sesshomaru of the west’ am in love with my brother ‘Lord Inuyasha prince of the west’ and on every third new moon ‘Lady Asami Princess of the west’ now and forever.” Inuyasha looked wide eyed at his brother and stuck a claw in his leg to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.

“D-do you mean it” Sesshomaru gave a small nod with a smile on his face. Inuyasha was so over come with joy he pulled his brother down laying kisses all over his face. “I waited fifty-four years dying to hear you say those words.” He said between kisses but stopped when he heard someone clear their throat.

Inuyasha looked over to see who it had come from and blushed when he seen Sango smiling down at him, Miroku with the dumbest grin on his face and Kagome with her head turned covering Shippo’s eyes. “If you two are done eating each other’s face then we plan on leaving to get to the village before night fall.” Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed at the monk before getting up off of his brother and helping him to his feet. Inuyasha put his haori back on and they all began to continue their journey to Kaede.

With Sango walking behind everyone she had a smirk on her face watching the brother’s walk side by side. In doing so only four words came out of her mouth and they were “It’s about damn time” which caused Inuyasha to turn and growl at her. Shippo jumped onto Inuyasha’s shoulder happy that his papa got his wish.
