Sesshomaru had only gotten about half-way to the village before his head cleared and his pride kicked in. “This is absurd.” He thought. “I owe that half-breed moron nothing.” Obviously those unexpected blows to his skull must have rattled his brain. If anything he had more then repaid any debt owed by allowing Inuyasha to live as long as he had. Yes surely that was enough, most demons would not even allowed that. Indeed he had shown Inuyasha great clemency, he could have killed him at any time, why just a scant few moments ago he had, had the perfect opportunity to claim Inuyasha’s life.

But he hadn’t.

Truly there was nothing stopping him from returning to the comforts of his fortress stronghold. Just as he turned, setting himself on the path that would lead him home, his ribs began to throb again, right where Inuyasha had struck him. What was happening inside the hanyo? He simply should not have the speed necessary to catch Sesshomaru himself off guard, le alone the strength needed to pin him and harm him with such common blows.

The Wind Scar was one thing, but simple punches?!

Indeed if he left now he would likely never get any answers on the matter. Not to mention Inuyasha should be punished for laying his hands upon him, the Lord of the west. However he really did not wish to stay in the company of his baby brother. His Youki on the other hand was all for remaining near the hanyo. How annoying.

But what was he supposed to do? Hide in the shadow’s like some common thief. “Information gathering.” A small sly voice whispered through his brain. Hmmm….why yes that would do nicely, He simply would be observing, not only a potential threat to his lands. But he also would be looking out for possibly embarrassment to their blood. Thus it would be wise to stay at an optimal distance to gather such desired information, and he certainly couldn’t leave such a task up to just anyone. They would only fail, no Sesshomaru himself would have to be up to the task. Clearly that was the only reason, it certainly had nothing to do with a sudden desire to lap at one hanyo’s smooth, milky white skill, and it had absolutely nothing to do with any guilt, unwarranted guilt at that, about totally ignoring his duty. Such notions were beyond foolish. With that in mind Sesshomaru continued to follow the hanyo’s trail.


Inuyasha couldn’t believe the arrogance his bother had, just storming out and start demanding things. Like he had the right!? Even if he did have the answers to the bastards questions, why in the world would he tell him? What had Sesshomaru EVER done for him?! Leaping from tree top to tree top Inuyasha simply tried to relax, to let his anger go. He only hoped Miroku was successful in getting Kagome to return home for a while, he really didn’t think he could deal with her at the moment.

And to top it all off the strange feelings inside were increasing, how could it be that he felt so strong, so fast, so…sharp. Yet his insides felt so hot and thick, he could seemingly feel his heart pumping his blood through him, but the pace felt all wrong, it felt slow….yet powerful. As if each pump was forcing massive gushes of blood through his system. Slowly he perched himself within a tree, maneuvering his hand under his top and laying it on top of his heart. The beat was strong and steady….but slower then usual. “What is happening to me?” Inuyasha muttered.



Miroku had tried. By all that was holy he had tried. But the miko from the future simply wouldn’t listen. “What do you mean he wants me to go home?!” Kagome asked.

“Kagome…..I’m telling you, something is happening inside of Inuyasha. Not to mention you have seriously angered him.” Miroku said.

“You mean to tell me he’s pissed because I wouldn’t let him kill an helpless, innocent old man?” Kagome huffed, face red.

“Kagome I believe that man is hardly innocent.” Miroku said, the miko wearing even his patience thin. “You didn’t even give him a chance to explain before you used the rosary.”

“Explain? EXPLAIN?! Miroku he was drowning an old man. Besides what is Inuyasha going to explain? You know how he is.” Kagome said.

“No Kagome….I don’t think I know what you mean.” Miroku said. He wasn’t liking the sound of this. He wished Sango would help him in this but she had decided to stay out of it.

“Miroku….his first reaction to nearly everything in violence, he’s rude, insensitive, unfeeling and…” Kagome started.

“…..and he protects you all, is trying to kill Naraku to not only avenge what was done to him, but also to save Miroku from his Wind tunnel, and free Sango’s brother.” Inuyasha finished.


Great….just great, Miroku shot Inuyasha a sympatric look. Inuyasha crossed his arms, slipping his hands into his sleeves.

“Just what are you trying to say Inuyasha?” Kagome asked.

“I’m saying your unfairly judging me for one thing….but you know what. I really don’t want to talk about it.” Inuyasha said.

“Inuyasha…..” Kagome said, tone warning. “Hey….wait…..you look….bigger since when…”

“Since about twenty minutes ago, no I don’t know why, no I don’t know how. But what I do know is YOU need to GO HOME.” Inuyasha forced out. “I need some space….besides don’t you….don’t you have some of those……tests…or something coming up?”

“Yes but….” Kagome whispered.

“But nothing Kagome…..you need to be there….and I need a break….I’ve got to much going on….so please…just give me what I ask.” Inuyasha said, trying to pull his old feelings for the girl back into his heart.

“Al-alright.” Kagome whispered.

“Thank you.” Inuyasha said.


As the little group headed out, heading for Kaede’s village….and the well, Inuyasha couldn’t help but stop, and peer into the forest behind him. Taking a deep breath, his mind sifted through the stream of scents. Finding nothing out of the ordinary he spared only one moment before continuing after the others. But damn it…..he could have swore he heard something.


Sesshomaru cursed at himself, only ten minutes in and he almost got caught. Obviously Inuyasha’s physical attributes were not the only thing that were increasing. Sesshomaru couldn’t help but allow a small smile to form on his lips. Ahhh a challenge, something truly rare in his life. You know….maybe this would turn out to be worth his time after all.





The trip back was actually almost pleasant, Kagome had attempted to interrogate him about what was going on, and something told Inuyasha that she wouldn’t be satisfied with a simple -I don’t know- and that was something that always threw him, how many time’s had she asked him a question, one of which he answered truthfully, only to have her get upset over him being stubborn, like he was hiding some awe inspiring, important information. Well there had been none of that this time, he’d cut her off, instead asking her about the subjects she was currently studying. Listening to her ramble on about her…oh what did she call it? Biology exam? Was actually…somewhat pleasant. It brought back those warm feelings deep inside, he couldn’t help but soften a little. Kagome had always been easy on the eye’s and she had such energy about her. She could be so wonderful when she wanted to be. “By the way why do you ask Inuyasha? You’ve never seemed to care before.” Kagome asked, jarring him from his thoughts.

Inuyasha felt a faint heat rising in his cheeks, “Well…..I’ve never had much formal education, never had time really, just what my mother taught me. I’ve really only ever been concerned with surviving but there are times…..that I wish I would have had the opportunity.” He said.

“Oh……I didn’t think you wondered about stuff like that, being a half-demon and all.” Kagome said. Inuyasha smirked.

“Well look at Sesshomaru….he’s probably spent years receiving lessons, and he‘s a full demon.” Inuyasha said, unable to keep the burning feeling of jealousy down. The bastard got everything, and why? It wasn’t fair.

“I never really thought about that.” Kagome said. “He does seem somewhat refined.”



Hidden nearby Sesshomaru was once again gripped in mild surprise, which was fast becoming a tedious habit. He never thought Inuyasha was even slightly inclined towards intellectual pursuits, let alone jealous of Sesshomaru’s own studies. For some reason he found himself filing the information away.

“Who cares about that?! Look at his ass, just look at it! God we could just sink our teeth right into…”

Sesshomaru sighed.




Despite all this however the hot thick feelings within Inuyasha continued and to make matters worse he clothes no longer properly fit. The legs were now a few inches to short as well as the sleeves. He really wished Myoga would pop back up or something. “I swear next time I see that coward he is seriously gonna get it.” Inuyasha thought, what was the point of having a vassal if they were never around? The whole thing seemed to only serve to prove to Inuyasha the difference between him and his brother. Sesshomaru got the title, the lands, servants, power, and all that. Inuyasha got a flea….and a sword, and hell the asshole had wanted his sword on top of it all.


“Hey Inuyasha….maybe…maybe I could bring you a few books? Just to read on down time or something?” Kagome asked. That shocked Inuyasha, with all the crap that had been going on lately, Kagome offering to do something nice for him, was totally unexpected. It was….sweet.

But of course, as with all good golden moments in Inuyasha’s life. They just had to be ruined.


The sound of the twisting winds had been Inuyasha only warning as Koga had burst past him, nearly knocking him over, to get to Kagome.

“Hey Kagome. How’s going?” Koga asked, and just like that, all of the girls attention was instantly turned towards the wolf prince. Inuyasha let out a low growl, as Koga shot him a cocky smirk. Inuyasha was willing to believe Kagome had no idea the deeper meanings behind her actions sometimes. But Koga did, Koga understood what he was doing every time he insulted Inuyasha. Koga wasn’t some innocent person pulled from a environment they had grown up in and dropped into something completely different like Kagome.

“What are you looking at mutt-face?” Koga blurted out. “You got some kind of staring problem?”

“Don’t push it Koga.” Inuyasha snarled.

“Then quit eyeing my woman.” Koga snapped.

“Now, now you two.” Kagome chided.


Fucking wolf….coming in here like he’s something special. Disrupting the group, acting all tough. What had he ever done? He didn’t protect them, and he definitely didn’t protect his woman it was ridiculous.

“First off….she isn’t your woman. I don’t see any mark upon her, and if I ever even think your gonna pull some shit like that I’ll rip your wolf-shit head clean off!” Inuyasha said, flexing his claws.

“Inuyasha!” Kagome exclaimed. Ignoring her he took a step towards the wolf. Something inside of his pulsing, demanding he put Koga in his place once and for all.

“As if you could puppy! You couldn’t take me on your best day! As a matter of fact I could take you and your old fart father at the same time, if he wasn’t already a corpse.” Koga shot back, apparently the only one who hadn’t noticed Inuyasha increased size.

“Oh sure your real tough. Hey and speaking of corpses, how is that pack of yours? Still dead I’m assuming? Yeah you’re a real good protector, couldn’t even keep them safe from one wind bitch with a fan!” Inuyasha roared. Koga snarled, his eyes flashing with anger. “Oh please wolf boy, I’m begging you, give me a reason.” Inuyasha thought.


“Kagome stay-” Miroku started.

“INUYASHA!? SIT BOY!” Kagome cried out, WHAM! And for the second time today Inuyasha found himself smashed into the ground. Though strangely it didn’t hurt nearly as much as usual, “At least its improving my pain tolerance.” He thought.

“Your lucky she saved you mutt. Be a shame if your group had to watch me rip you up.” Koga quipped. “See ya later Kagome.” Koga waved to the miko before taking off, in a whirlwind burst. But not before stepping right on top of Inuyasha’s head, driving his face deeper into the mud.

Inuyasha snarled, trying to push himself up to leap at the wolf, but the spell hadn’t worn off yet. His insides were on fire, a voice deep inside screaming for action against yet another insult. “I’ve been smashed, spat on, kicked, and now stepped on like a bug. I don’t know how much more of this shit I can take.” Inuyasha thought.

“You know, just when I start to think that you’re a nice guy, you have to go and prove your nothing but a insensitive, selfish, rude asshole!” Kagome shouted. “Well I’ve had enough! I’m going home!” With that, she spun on her heels, grabbed her backpack and took off for the well.

“And just when I think your not a annoying, self-righteous, disrespectful bitch you have to go and prove me wrong.” Inuyasha whispered as he pulled himself up. He narrowed his eyes in the direction the wolf prince had fled. “One of these days Koga…..she’s not gonna be here to protect you” Inuyasha thought, hands clenching “And I can’t wait for that day.”



It had taken all of his will power not to burst out from his hiding place as he watched the strangely dressed miko once again utter the word that seemed to drop Inuyasha like a mountain fell on him. Could his brother not even be allowed to defend himself? To top it off she humiliated him in front of a rival. Sesshomaru didn’t know how Inuyasha could stand it, especially after the wolf had stepped on him. Either his brother had more restraint then he would have thought, or that spell did more then cause him to fall. “Perhaps it holds him there? But what causes it….is it that necklace? I don’t recall him wearing it before he joined those humans.” The Lord of the west thought, “This is inexcusable, the son of InuTaisho brought to his knee’s by some human treachery?! I may have to have words with this priestess.”

Then it hit him.

Since when did he care about whether or not Inuyasha was humiliated?

“Because he’s drop dead gorgeous? Smells really good, as is one of the most powerful beings we’ve ever seen?” His Youki supplied.

Ridiculous, it had nothing to do with that, only……only that it might cause their blood ever more embarrassment should the rest of the demon would find out about it. Yes he would have to do something about that, not for Inuyasha, Only for the sake of his name and family of course.




gen50-inlj: I didnt mean to make it seem like Sess was totally turning another leaf so soon. That chapter was ment to be longer, but it was like 4:30 a.m and I was uber tired. I didn't have it in me to continue, but I wanted to get one more chapter up. So I just posted it as it was. I agree that in the anime and manga Inuyasha is almost purely Het, but hey thats what Fan-fiction is for. Now if Maki Murakami was writing Inuyasha, maybe that wouldnt be so.

Polka Dot: Well I can assure you that there is no prophecy proclaiming Inuyasha and Sesshomaru to be mates, their father didnt forsee it in a vision, and there is no magic forcing them together, if they do end up a couple, it'll be of their own doing and no one elses. I know its kinda been done, but my idea behind this fic is basically to change how Inuyasha always seems to act and be treated in those stories.

Jester08: He didnt so much kick Sess's ass, as he caught him totally off guard. If he had been ready, or at least knew what Inuyasha had become capable of, things might have been different. Glad your enjoying it. I really liked that part myself, mostly because I havent seen it before.

Nikkie23534: Haha, yes I'm a guy, Sess being Uke? You'll have to wait and see and he might not even be getting any Inu, you never know. Sure he's top dog, no doubt, but you know, anything can happen.
