I'm a pretty patient person so this is by no means intended to be mean but if you ask me stupid questions in a review that I very clearly stated the answer to in earlier chapters, I'm going to get a little peeved. If you do not understand the difference between asthma & panic attacks then you need to Google it. I don't feel the need to explain why Inuyasha has PANIC ATTACKS [which I have pointed out on several occassions through out the story]. Some people are just like that. I wrote this story in Sesshomaru's point of view so that readers would feel like they were there or at least imagine themselves in that situation so if you feel that Inuyasha is acting like a child because he has a panic attacks everytime something seems impossible then you're either not paying attention or I'm not doing a good enough job as an author & I REFUSE to believe that I'm not doing a good enough job because I bust my ass on these chapters [though I'm not saying I can't improve or that I don't need constructive critism]. /rant

*Takes a deep breath* Woo sah...ok...so I wasn't going to post this for another couple of days but PhoenixDiamond [favorite author] requested I update quickly so here goes! This chapter is probably my most emotionally charged chapter out of all of my stories. There's also a scene in here that maybe not everyone wants to read because it can be a bit tramatizing to some so I posted a warning before I got into it. I appreciate reviews & constructive criticism! Enjoy the story =]

...

We slept in the car, cramped & uncomfortable but feeling a bit safer. Naraku had driven us to this overhang that kind of resembled a cave but it was too cold to sleep outside the car. Inuyasha curled up tightly by my side & I wrapped my arms around him to keep him warm. Naraku gave Kagura his shirt to keep her warm & reclined back in his seat, arms crossed. Before I dozed off I noticed he had large goosebumps on his arms & he was shivering.

Even though I felt like I had just closed my eyes, the next thing I knew, I heard movement & it was bright outside the little cave. Naraku sat up & stretched, popping his neck, while Kagura yawned & tried to rub the cold off of her arms. Inuyasha had begun to snore softly, a lock of my hair clenched in his fists.

"'Morning" Naraku mumbled, his voice a rough, rumbling baritone.

Kagura muttered something & I nodded at his reflection in the rearview mirror. "Hey"

After a few more minutes of full body stretching (which we got out of the car to do), yawning & slowly rousing, Naraku erected his seat & started the car.

"Where to now?" he asked.

"There's a subdivision not far from here" Kagura said, running her fingers through her dark hair.

"Why didn't you say that this morning?" Naraku asked, frowning & looking at her.

"I couldn't tell where we were! But now that the sun is up I know where we are & I know how to get there"

Since the government pulled up most of the roads outside the gates, minus the highways & freeways, I could understand why she didn't recognize anything. Just about everything outside the walls either was torn down, knocked over from the weather, overgrown or stripped anyway. I was fairly certain I wouldn't know my way home from here, it was so unfamiliar.

While Kagura gave Naraku directions I gently shook Inuyasha awake & he grunted, burying his face further in the seat.

"No...I'm sick...no school..."

I smirked. "Yasha, wake up, you don't have to go to school"

His breath evened out for a moment before he replied, "Holiday?"

I chuckled. "Yes, it's a holiday"

I was fairly certain he slept for another minute or two before he sat up, squinting & frowning in the sunlight. "Where are we going?"

"Kagura knows of a subdivision around here"

He sat up then, his widening. "We're going to look in more houses?"

I could hear the fear in his voice & I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It'll be alright. It won't be nearly as scary since it's daylight, you'll see"

He didn't relax as much as I was hoping he would; he just simply looked out the window, his hands balled into loose fists as I watched his uncertain expression in the reflection of the window.

"It's the next right" Kagura said & I turned to look at the upcoming subdivision. As we turned into it Naraku whistled lowly.

"Man...there are some nice houses" he commented, "I wouldn't be surprised if each of them had a bomb shelter with a movie theater & a soda fountain in it"

We crawled through the maze of dusty looking houses, the porches rotting & crumbling, cars sunken in the dirt so far, you couldn't see the tires. We eventually ended up at a cul de sac & Naraku shut the engine off. We sat in silence for a minute or two, the only noise being our breathing before he turned around to look at me.

"I brought a crowbar from that last house. Cover my back?"

I nodded & we both got out, Kagura & Inuyasha scrambling out to stay close. We chose the closest house, a two story red brick house with an expansive lawn that was probably really nice at one point but was now over-grown with weeds. Naraku walked up to the front door &, remembering his manners rang the doorbell. Kagura sighed irritably but he only looked at her & shrugged.

"Habit" he muttered.

He nudged the door open & I flexed my fingers around the crowbar, stepping in silently after him. The room we walked in had high cielings & many pictures of abstract art & drawings on the walls. This house had apparently been abandoned a long time, judging from the thick layer of dust on the couches & even the floor. The smell of rotting flesh hit me hard, causing my eyes to water & a dull ache between my eyes. I don't think I'll ever get used to this smell for as long as I live.

Naraku turned to look over his shoulder a little. "Kagura, Inuyasha, you two stay here. Me & Sesshomaru will go upstairs to try & find a gun or something else useful"

"Be careful" his sister whispered.

"Grab a blanket too while you two are at it" Inuyasha replied.

I grinned at him & nodded then Naraku & I walked slowly up the set of stairs against the left side of the wall. The stairs creaked under our weight, causing us to pause (just to be sure we were ones making the noise). Halfway up, we heard a very low thump every once in a while, as if someone was hitting the wall with a pillow.

Naraku looked at me & I nodded, letting him know I heard it too. He took a slow deep breath & we walked the rest of the way up the stairs, Naraku peeking around the corner once we got to the top.

"I think it's the room at the very end of the hall" he whispered to me & I came to stand beside him & leaned over to get a good look.

The door at the very end of the hallway was cracked open a bit, just enough so that the light from outside squeezed its way through. The sound was definitely coming from that room; the other two rooms, both on opposite sides of the hall from each other, had the doors wide open & nothing could be seen in them except some blood, what was possibly a dead body covered in comforters & overturned furniture.

"We should look in these open rooms before going to that one" I whispered. I wasn't going to admit that I wanted to stall because I had a feeling whatever was making that noise was going to be very unpleasant.

Thankfully though he nodded & each of us rummaged through the rooms seperately. Since Naraku seemed to have his sights on one of the rooms already I was left to go through the room with the suspiciously body shaped heap of blankets in it. I know if it was a dead body it can't do anything to me but what if it was just a sneaky zombie & it just-...

I stopped that train of thought & slowly stepped inside, stepping over shattered glass, an over-turned computer chair, bloody scraps of clothes & other things. I kept my eye on the pile of blankets & made my way over to the closet as quietly as I could. I stood to the side when I opened the door, anticipating something jumping out at me but nothing happened. When I peeked inside I found rows & rows upon rows of what appeared to be female clothing. I had no idea what size Kagura was but I was sure she'd appreciate some clothing.

I hurried quietly out of the room & down the stairs to find my brother & Kagura huddled right in the doorway of the front door, ready to bolt. Kagura saw me first, her eyes widening in fear & panic.

"Where's Naraku?" she whispered, her voice so high & thin she sounded like a squirrel with asthma.

"No, no, no, he's fine, he's fine" I said quickly when she looked like she was about to bolt upstairs, "I just wanted you to help me with something"

She took deep breaths & looked at me strangely. "Help you with what?"

"I found a bunch of female clothing. I figured you might find that useful"

"Is it designer clothing or like old people shit?"

I gave her a 'are you fucking kidding me' look & she scoffed before I lead her upstairs. She froze at the sight of the pile of blankets at the room's doorway though.

"That looks like it's hiding a body" she whispered, her eyes huge.

"I kept an eye on it, it didn't move" I responded, going back to the closet.

"What if its a sneaky zombie or something?"

I raised an eyebrow at her, wondering if maybe she'd heard me say it out loud while she was downstairs or something. "I'm not saying it isn't but the sooner we get these clothes, the sooner we can get outta here"

The soft thumping came at longer intervals now; Kagura glanced down the hallway frowning. "What's that?"

Before I could answer Naraku came from the other room with a few blankets over his shoulder & two shoe boxes. "I found two glocks & a pistols with several rounds of bullets" he reported, holding up the shoe boxes. He glanced at the body shaped pile of blankets & swallowed, "You look at that yet?"

I shook my head. "It hasn't moved since I've been in here. The sooner we get these clothes, the sooner we can move on & not have to worry about it"

He nodded. "I'll take these to the car & come help"

While he did that, Kagura quickly skipped past the pile of blankets to join me in the closet & began grabbing the clothes off the hangers, piling them up in her arms. The clothes smelled strange & unpleasant but could one be picky at a time like this? I'm sure we could find some fabric cleaner or something & maybe a place to wash the clothes. It was just that, at the moment, we didn't care.

I noticed when she gripped a particular shirt but left it, moving on to the next item.

"What's wrong with that shirt?" I asked.

"I don't want it" she said simply.

I was about to tell her to just get it but I noticed it had a pink ribbon on it & the words, "Walking For A Cure For Cancer" written in big pink letters. Walking for a cure? What the hell kind of good would that do when the "cure" for cancer made people undead, a cure that killed my fucking Mother & in turn, indirectly killed my Father? I snarled & I snatched the shirt off the hanger & ripped it up, Kagura watching me warily.

"The government is a lie!" I yelled, surprising Kagura & even myself.

She cautiously set the clothes down. "Sesshomaru..."

I ripped the shirt into even smaller peices, my fangs bared as some kind of incredibly strong emotion took over me & made my heart feel like it was being crushed. "We're just a bunch of fucking experiments to them! They don't fucking care about us!"

Kagura stepped back quickly as I flung the scrapes of cloth. I wasn't satisfied yet; anger, frustration & absolute hollowing sadness boiled my blood, shook my arms & fueled the muscles in my legs as I completely tore the room apart, burning holes into the walls, shredding whatever I got my hands on & roaring the whole time. I was aware that Kagura was staring at me, her eyes wide in fear & uncertainty. I was aware when Naraku came back & stood awkwardly at the door, flinching when I tore the mattress apart. I was aware when Inuyasha hurried upstairs & called my name, reaching for me but Naraku's strong arm holding him back. I was aware of the words he spoke to my brother, telling him that I needed this time to vent & mourn for our losses. I was aware of many other things...I just didn't care. I had the right to throw a tantrum, if you will, after everything I'd been through. I was so...angry, I wanted to rip up something more significant...

I turned my bloody red eyes to the pile of body shaped blankets & whipped the blankets off. Underneath was the body of what looked to be a young woman, most of her head blown off. Kagura cried out, pressing her back against the wall as Naraku sighed & shook his head sadly. From the condition her body was in, I could tell she wasn't a zombie, at least she hadn't been for long. Covering her body was a once-white summer dress, speckled with tiny prints of flowers. I bet she had been pretty. ...

I noticed by now I had been standing there, staring at the body for quite some time, enough time for me to stop panting & my breathing was now back to normal. "This is what we have been reduced to" I said in a rough voice.

No one said anything. No one even moved.

I slowly covered her body back up & ran my hand through my hair, sighing. What the hell are we going to do if the gated cities won't let us in or just aren't there? Where the hell would we go? A hopeless ache throbbed in my chest cavity & I wrapped my arms around myself, dropping into a crouch. I felt like crying...but couldn't. I could only breathe deeply, count to twenty & hope when I stopped hugging myself I wouldn't fall apart.

"Sesshomaru...we gatta go, man" I heard Inuyasha say softly

His voice was close; I opened my eyes & saw his shoes in front of me. Then he put a hand on my shoulder.

"Sessh...come on, man. Let's get to the car & get outta here"

I couldn't believe I had lost it. I'm supposed to be the one holding it together for his sake. I'm supposed to be the one strong enough to make Inuyasha feel safe & try my best to protect Kagura & Naraku. That was my job. I was not supposed to be throwing a temper tantrum, acting like some kind of caveman. Just because my parents were turned doesn't mean I have to practically have a meltdown. This was not the time for that; I should've picked a more secluded place.

"I'm sorry" I whispered, closing my eyes.

"Why are you sorry?" he asked, his voice getting even closer. He rubbed his cheek against the top of my head, trying to comfort me.

A very subtle hint of a smile came to my lips. 'At least he's trying...'

"You have nothing to apologize for" he said softly.

"You weren't supposed to see that. I'm supposed to be stronger than that" I responded hoarsely.

"You are strong, Sessh. Why would you think otherwise?"

"I'm supposed to protect you...keep you safe..."

"I'd feel more afraid & tramatized if you were a heartless bastard that showed no emotion"

I scoffed. "You're just saying that..."

His hand pushed my shoulder back & I raised my head to look him in the eye. "You are too old for me to lie to you" he said.

I'd never seen him look so mature, so wise. His mouth was set in a determined line & his eyes showed wisdom beyond his years. Had he just grown right in front of me? Was this still my little brother Inuyasha who used to play his Playstation 3 everyday after school & complain when Mother told him to take the trash out, which took all of about thirty seconds? Who was this man before me that looked like Inuyasha...but was so much more mature than I ever remember him being?

His eyes softened. "Let's get you out of here, alright? Maybe we'll rummage through the kitchen & find something edible"

I nodded, & stood slowly, my arms unwinding themselves from around my middle. I waited to fall apart, my arms hesitating in case I needed to catch myself again. But nothing happened. I looked up at Naraku & Kagura, standing in the doorway, their faces uncertain, nervous & surprised.

"Let's go" I said in a low voice & they nodded.

Right as I stepped out of the room I realized the thumping at the end of the hall had stopped. I paused at the top of the stairs, looking at the cracked door.

"Sesshomaru?"

I looked down to see Naraku staring back up at me. "The thumping stopped"

They listened for a moment & then Naraku walked back up the stairs, glancing down the hallway. "Wanna take a look?" he asked me.

I knew I shouldn't...but I was curious...so I nodded.

He & I both crept slowly down the hallway, breathing through our mouths out of habit since the smell of rotting corpses had become too much. My heart thudded heavily against my ribcage like it was preparing for cardiac arrest & my hands trembled very slightly. I didn't understand why I was so damn nervous. You'd think by now I'd be used to it...but I wasn't. It was like someone confronting you at gunpoint, telling you that it shouldn't be that big of a deal since you saw it on TV all the time.

~*~*~ Warning: Tramatic Scene ~*~*~

Naraku put his hand on the door, bracing the crowbar with the other hand, took a deep breath & pushed it open. Of all the things I expected I was going to see, nothing could prepare me for the sight of a child, maybe no more than 8, hanging from the cieling by a belt, little feet barely touching the wall now when the body swayed by the breeze from an open window. Nothing prepared me for the look on the kid's face, like he had been crying all the way up until the moment he finally died, his tongue swollen & sticking out from between his teeth. This little boy had to be so adorable when he was alive: his shoulder-length wavy hair framing his cute face, skin about as flawless as a porcelain statue. I wish I could see what color his eyes had been but they were rolled back into his skull; all I could see were the white, the eyeball sticking out so far I was sure if we breathed too hard they'd pop out.

~*~*~ End of tramatic scene ~*~*~

Naraku swore & rubbed his forehead, putting a hand on his hip. "Shit, man...who would do this to a child? This world has seriously gone to shit if..."

I zoned out on the rest of what he said. I don't remember exactly how it happened but somehow I ended up on the floor, on my knees. I don't know exactly what happened but somehow my body had gone completely numb. I swear it felt like my mind went dead or something. I didn't even notice anything else; that boy took up my whole entire vision. I couldn't even try to think about why or how someone would do something like this, something so...so awful. My heart went out to this boy. & then I completely fell apart, much too quickly for me to be able to catch myself. It started with a hiccup & quickly escalated from a weak cry into a sob. I don't know what took over me but somehow this single, dead boy made me lose all hope for humanity. This world had truly gone to shit.

I felt like I couldn't breathe, like my lungs were refusing to expand. I clutched & clawed at my chest before a loud, sorrowful cry ripped from my throat. Such a burdening sadness...I couldn't help myself. I'd never, ever felt such an absolutely overwhelming urge to scream & cry until my voice went raw; my sobbing sounded more like a wounded animal but it was the only way I could release this awful ache in my body.

I felt hands on my back, hands on my shoulder. Even though my body was numb I still felt them, which confused me. My body convulsed as I drew in another deep breath & let out yet another horrible cry. Would it be weird if I said the sounds that were tearing from my throat were making me cry even harder? I sounded like someone was killing me. But ya know...that's exactly how it felt.

I was laid down gently on my back but I turned my head to look at the boy. Naraku was gingerly taking his body down & slicing the belt with his claws from the child's neck. My screaming stopped but my body still shook every once in a while from inhaling sharply. The boy was laid gently on his back & I felt something squeeze my throat tightly as his head rolled over to face me. On his neck was a nasty bite mark, a bite that almost looked like it was impossible for a human to make, it was set so wide, like whatever or whoever bit him could unhinge their jaw like a snake.

Hot tears welled up in my eyes again as I thought of Father & Mother. I wonder were they as afraid as this little boy had been. I wonder how much they suffered...I wondered did they get that peaceful look over their face when they died...

A high pitched whine slipped through my lips & several fat tears streamed down the sides of my face. I missed my parents so much. More than I could ever explain in words or actions.

'I'm sorry, Father, Mother, for not being strong for Inuyasha. I'm sorry I broke down in front of him, as if it was ok to have an emotional meltdown whenever you wanted to. I'm so sorry. But I love you both & I miss you...'

.

...

...

I was pulled from a very deep state that was like sleep but I could still see & hear everything (even though everything sounded like I was listening to it underwater). I could feel a humming vibration under my whole body. I guess we were in the car. I wanted to sit up but couldn't even find it in me to make my fingers twitch. The only thing I could do was breathe in...& breathe out. I don't even think I was blinking.

Something moved in the corner of my eye, some dark blob that turned white; I vaguely recognized it as a face. More muttered words then the blob leaned it towards me. I blinked then, forcing my eyes to focus but they wouldn't so I gave up. I noticed I was shivering yet I wasn't cold. I hope I wasn't coming down with a sickness. That would be so inconvienant-

Something shifted under me & I noticed I was lying in someone's lap. I wasn't going to complain: I was very comfortable & as I became more & more aware the area that was against or on the leg made me feel warmer. A gentle hand brushed through my hair & I sighed happily.

'Oh yes...'

A muffled chuckle then, "Think he's waking up"

"Told you it'd work"

More chuckling. What was so funny?

"-Pull over here...gatta piss...you two...for water or som-...before sunset"

I felt the body under me shift & the gentle hand gently rolled my head back. After a few minutes the cieling of the car came into focus & then Naraku's face.

He smirked down at me, face laced with sadness. "Hey. You gave us quite a scare back there"

What was he talkin abo-...oh...I blinked hard against the memories as if that would hold them at bay. I honestly didn't feel like I had the liquid nor the strength to cry anymore which made me realize how utterly exhausted I felt & how awful my head was pounding. I grimaced, eyes sliding shut. I promised myself right there that was the last time I'd cry.

Naraku patted my chest, lifting his leg an inch as a sign that he wanted me to get up. I sat up slowly, feeling like my head weighed fifty pounds more. I had noticed the car had stopped; Kagura & Inuyasha were turned around in their seats, looking at me curiously.

"I'm fine" I muttered hoarsely, looking away from them. I sounded like I'd been screaming at the top of my lungs for hours & then not spoken in several days.

They slowly got out of the car & as I stepped out I saw we were in a little park, complete with two rusty swing sets, a dented up slide & a merry-go-round that I doubted would move, as old & crusted as it looked.

Inuyasha's face relaxed into a smile as he looked up at me before jogging to one of the swing sets & getting in one of the little seats. I had a brief flashback from childhood, when I used to bring him to parks similar to this one but better when I finally got a car & he'd beg me to push him. I'd sigh & groan in complaint but eventually give in & push him until he was giggling like the kid he was & we'd wind up having a lot of fun.

I found myself smiling now, thinking on those times & I chose the seat beside him, gently swinging my legs. The set protested but held firm & eventually Naraku & Kagura joined us. It felt so surreal, swinging on a damn swing set during a zombie apocalypse but at the same time it made me feel like this was absolutely normal, like I belonged here. For just a little while I could forget everything we'd been through, pretend me & Inuyasha were just derping around with some friends before I had to take my little brother home before Mother flipped out on me for not getting him there in time for dinner...

"Ya know, I used to come here all the time as a kid" Kagura said, staring dreamily off into the sky, "When I ran away from home, I slept in a tube they used to have here. I actually had a lot of fun"

"You came back home three days later, sobbing your eyes out & screaming for mommy" Naraku deadpanned & she hit him in his unwounded shoulder.

"Shut up, no I didn't!"

"Oh I'm sorry, you rang the doorbell & when Mom answered the door you threw yourself into her arms & sobbed"

Kagura rolled her eyes & scoffed. "I can't stand you sometimes" she said, chuckling.

"You know what sounds great right now?" Inuyasha asked after a long silence, "A pizza"

"A supreme pizza" Naraku added.

"With cheese crusting" Kagura sighed.

I felt their eyes on me, waiting for me to add something on but I remained silent. I had an urge not to speak like I did when I first woke up in whatever gated city we had left (I just now noticed I never knew what the name of it was). It's not that I refused to say anything, I just had nothing to say.

"& hot wings" Inuyasha murmured after they concluded I wasn't going to say anything.

"& warm cinnamon sticks" Naraku nearly moaned.

At that moment someone's stomach growled loudly & they chuckled.

"Guess I'll just get a sandwich out the trunk" Kagura said before getting up & walking to where we parked.

"Can ya get me a water while you're at it?" Inuyasha shouted.

"Come get it yourself!" Kagura shot back.

He scoffed. "Women" but got up & walked the few yards to the vehicle.

Naraku & I swung slowly, our faces relaxed as our minds submerged into deep thoughts. I absentmindedly wondered what was on his mind. The zombies? His past? What he would have done differently? What he'd be doing if his wife was still alive? It seemed like a lifetime ago this very same guy was hollering at the top of his lungs, telling the squad to drop & give him fifty pushups or to pick up the pace & stop wasting his damn time by ambling around the racetrack.

I grinned at a random memory of him snapping at individuals the day of the inspection because he was so pissed he had to help clean.

"But I do my job, why the hell do I have to be punished for their incompetance?" we all heard him yell in the chief's office.

I chuckled to myself. If I had a chance to go back & do it all over again, I think I would. I would like to go for a jog around the track a few more times, put up with the rigorous exercises Naraku put us through & hell, I'd even go through that bloody obstical course. I must be out of my mind if I missed that.

I hadn't even noticed I was smiling until Naraku turned to me, chuckling. "What's so funny?"

I shook my head once. I couldn't seem to get this damn smile off of my face. "Just...remembering some things we left behind"

"Like that damn obstical course?"

I actually laughed. "I made it very obvious that I hated that thing, huh?"

"Hell yeah, even the chief knew you hated it"

We shared another laugh which dwindled into a comfortable silence. The sun was begining to set & even though that made me feel a little anxious to get moving where was there to go? If anything tried to sneak up on us we'd see it coming for miles away so really there was no rush, not to mention the only safe haven we had was the car anyway.

"You're a great role model for your brother, you know" Naraku murmured, his voice a rumbling baritone.

I scoffed. "Yeah because having an emotional meltdown all because I see a dead kid is an awesome way to show how manly I am"

Naraku frowned at me. "You think because you were affected by a gruesome death in a stressful world makes you a wimp?"

I didn't answer; I just simply looked out over the horizon.

"Sesshomaru, you are not expected to be this stone-hearted, unemotional robot for your brother. Didn't you hear him when he said he'd be more afraid if you were that way?"

"He was saying it that to make me feel better, Naraku, that's how Yasha works"

The kumo nodded to himself. "Maybe. Either way you shouldn't be hard on yourself for showing such emotion"

"Because screaming my head off is so totally acceptable"

"Because we could quite possibly be the only living people on this fucking island, you fucking moron!" Naraku snapped, his fangs bared at me.

I felt my top lip lift in a snarl of its own. "That doesn't mean sobbing like a bitch makes me a great role model for my brother!"

Naraku sighed, disgusted. "You're about as stubborn & ignorant as a donkey with its head stuck in a fence"

"Excuse me?"

"You don't fucking get it! I don't know what kind of household you grew up in or what kind of shit your parents had you on but crying does not make a man a fucking pussy! What makes him a pussy is when he holds all his emotions in & looks down on any other man who does!"

"Don't you dare talk shit about my parents & how they fucking raised me!" I shouted, standing so abruptly the chains holding the seat up jangled noisily.

"If they brought you up right & you respect the shit they taught you then fucking act like it & stop mopping around here like you lost your favorite bottle of lotion, preventing you from jacking off your little dick!"

Without thinking I lunged for him, knocking him backwards out of his seat & we went rolling a ways before coming to a stop, me straddling his waist. I landed a few punches onto his face before I had to bob & weave around his. He was strong but I was too tall for him to hit me in the face successfully; he'd graze my chin but it wouldn't really hurt. When I leaned back out of his reach he bucked, surprising me & throwing me off. I landed on my side but he was on me in an instant, rolling me onto my back. He landed punches not just on my face but in my stomach as well, making it difficult to even block, much less counterattack. His punches were also strong as well as accurate; he jabbed me twice in my belly before hooking a left-right into my face in a matter of a few seconds.

I let my arms go slack, giving up & he stopped just before he landed a blow to my nose.

"You give up, rookie?" he snarled, close to my face.

"Fuck you" I spat in his face & twisted his arm.

We wrestled & rolled around some more before we heard Kagura & Inuyasha rush over to us, trying to pull us apart.

"Sesshomaru what the hell?"

"Naraku, what the fuck is wrong with you two?"

I glared murderously at Naraku, hate, frustration & anger rolling over my muscles. I felt power charged all in & through my limbs; I wanted nothing more than to fight until blood was shed & bones were broken. Naraku's angry crimson eyes bore into mine with such a passion I felt heat wash over my lower abdominals. Wait...what? Heat? As in...like pleasure? From a look?

I mentally shook the feeling off. There was no way I was turned on by a simple look. I considered myself mostly straight (mostly because I was attracted to women but occassionally I wondered what it'd be like with men), I wasn't interested in Naraku. At all. Especially not after the shit he said. Fucking prick.

I spat on the ground as Inuyasha tugged me in the opposite direction from Naraku & Kagura, towards the car.

"You better be glad that shit didn't land on my shoe you filthy mutt" Naraku growled.

I dragged Inuyasha with me as I charged at the fucking spider but stopped when Kagura came between us, her eyes intimidated but her mouth set in a determined line.

"Chill, Sesshomaru" she said in a low voice.

"Move out the way Kagura" I growled.

"No. Enough"

"Move!"

She kept her ground, her hands curled into fists but she didn't look like she'd swing at me. She'd better be glad Mother taught me never to even lay a finger on a girl because I would've shoved her away for standing in my way.

"How about you take your pussy ass back over to the car & continue acting like you're so damn tough" Naraku sneered.

This time Inuyasha had to come around & push against my chest to keep me from going after the prick's head & Kagura whirled on her brother, her body language stiff.

"Naraku, cut that shit out! I don't know what you two have beef about but it needs to fucking stop! This is not the fucking time!"

After more heated glares & persisting pushes from our siblings we went our seperate ways, Inuyasha & I over to the car, Kagura & that fucking bastard going back to where the swing sets were.

I sat on top of the trunk, folding my arms & glaring across the horizon as Inuyasha leaned against the trunk, body facing me.

"Sessh, what the hell?" he started, "First you two are laughing then you're fighting"

"He's a fucking asshole, he deserved every punch I delivered to his ignorant ass!" I snapped. I sighed when my brother looked up at me with that slightly hurt, slightly confused look with one ear limp & his eyes all big & questioning. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap on you"

He nodded once, looking away. "It's fine. Ya gunna tell me what y'all were fighting about?"

"Later" I grumbled, "I don't really feel like talking about it at the moment"

I knew if I repeated what that prick said it'd hurt Inuyasha too, not to mention I'd get furious enough to go back over there & stomp his face into the ground. How dare he? He didn't know what it was like growing up believing that the only way to be strong was to hold back the tears & the anger until there was a time you could be alone but never getting that along time because now you had to protect your little brother from being bitten by zombies while at the same time trying to keep him from being caught & locked up. That was a lot of fucking responsibility. Just because he lost his wife doesn't mean-

I deflated at that thought. While losing a loved one shouldn't be an excuse to be an asshole to someone who did nothing to you I guess that would make him bitter & rude. How would I even know: the girl I had been seeing when this outbreak went down could quite possibly be stumbling around here like a zombie or lying somewhere in a ditch, dead & I really didn't care that much. Not that I didn't like her, there was just more important stuff to deal with right now.

I sighed rubbing my forehead & Inuyasha looked up at me. "What's wrong,Sessh?"

"Nothing...nothing...I'm just tired"

He nodded, as if he understood. "We've been through some shit, eh?"

It was my turn to nod. "Yeah. But at least we have each other"

I reached down & ruffled his hair, grinning when he pushed my arm away in irritation.

"I'm not a kid anymore, Sessh, damn!"

I chuckled. "I know, I know"

He sighed, crossing his arms. "So now whadda we do?"

My lifted my eyes to the pinkening horizon, the stars slowly begining to twinkle one by one. What do we do, indeed. I took a deep breath. "We're going to go our seperate ways from Naraku & Kagura"
