Joker's Dice

Authors Note: Alright people this is my first official fanfic, and most likely my only one provided I can make myself stick with this one. Now I want to make this clear that this story is YAOI and AU. There will be INCEST meaning a romantic/sexual relationship between two brothers as in SESSHOMARU/INUYASHA. That being said I want to make it clear now that IF THESE THINGS BOTHER YOU, LEAVE. There now that you have been warned, flames directed at my story complaining about subject matter or otherwise will be blatantly ignored.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha/the company/or the people who created this anime. I am not making money off of this, so therefore sueing me would just be a waste of your time.

Summary: After the defeat of Naraku, life for Inuyasha becomes ridiculously complicated...... And his brother is to blame.

'blah'-thoughts

Now on with the fic.


Joker's Dice

Prologue

"Damn you Naraku!! Show yourself!" Inuyasha screamed, his trusted Tetsuaiga clutched in a firm grip despite the darkness licking at his mind.

"Quiet Inuyasha."

Inuyasha twisted his head around to snarl at his brother. In truth, his half-brother looked no better than the rest of them. Sesshomaru's ivory silk kimono was stained with blood and dirt, numerous tears in the fabric giving brief glimpses of pale skin underneath. The armor that usually adorned his lithe body had been destroyed, chunks of it lay scattered about the battlefield. But of course the Lord of the Western Lands still stood tall, his expression that of perfect calm and Tokijin held steady at his side.

Scowling, Inuyasha glanced behind him, eyes burning with rage with what he saw.

Miroku lay propped against Kagome, his breathing loud and erratic to Inuyasha's sensitive ears. Meanwhile, Kagome tried her best to keep Miroku comfortable while trying to keep a hold of her bow and arrow, ready to strike at the first sign of attack. Scant feet away from them, Sango sat astride Kirara looking as if she would topple over at any moment. Not for the first time Inuyasha wondered about Shippo and Rin, whether they were safe in the care of the old priestess Keade and Sesshomaru's servant Jaken.

Thanks to Kagura's subtle if somewhat vague help they had found Naraku's castle that held the half-breed. If the situation had not been so serious, Inuyasha would have laughed. Moments before their departure Sesshomaru had appeared it seemed out of thin air, stating coldly that he was going with them. If that hadn't shocked them, the fact that he had left Rin and Jaken with Keade had.

A sharp movement to his right snapped him out of his thoughts. But not soon enough.

Searing pain ripped through his chest one of Naraku's tentacles peircing mercilessly through flesh and bone. Distantly he heard Kagome scream but nothing made sense. The world swam before his eyes in a sickening display of color and motion. 'You idiot, see what happens when you don't pay attention!'

No sooner had that thought crossed his mind he felt himself being pulled from the cruel grasp in which he was held, only to pass out from the pain.......

To Be Continued......

A/N: Yes, I know that was obscenely short but it's only the prologue so bear with me. Reviews are wonderful and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated so long as it's polite. Thank you!!
