Chapter 1: Promise to mate

(62 years ago)

In a small grass clearing sobs coming from a beaten silver haired child could be heard. Inuyasha was what the silver haired child’s name was, for a five year old he was a beautiful child with small feet and hands a cute round face and long silver hair with two perfect shaped dog ears on top of his head.

His beauty was envied by the other village children and there mothers who wished their own children could be as beautiful. But the fact that Inuyasha was a half demon made him hated, and the envy only helped fuel the hatred.

But that was not why Inuyasha sat crying holding his knees to his chest; he knew the villagers hated him for being half demon and being protected by his human mother Lady Izayoi; he was crying because today was the day his mother passed away.

For months now his mother had been ill and unable to leave bed, the village blamed Inuyasha for their lady’s sickness; even Inuyasha’s own grandparents blamed him. And as soon as his mother stopped breathing the young half demon was chased out of the village with hurtful words and very hurtful hits.

The 5 year olds body was bruised and sore from the village women’s slaps, the men’s kicks, and the children throwing rocks at him.

And now he was left with nothing, he knew no one who would take care of him and he himself was not strong enough to do so. What was he to do?

Another sob came from him; the bright beautiful day almost seemed to be mocking him. Inuyasha wished that he could just crawl in a hole and die, so he could be with his mother and be safe in her arms.

“Why are you crying Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru had smelt his brother and his tears from a mile away and decided on checking on him. The only reason why the new lord of the Western lands bothered to seek his brother out was because of a promise Sesshomaru made to his father. So far Sesshomaru had never broken a promise and he intended for it to stay that way.

Inuyasha looked up at his older half-brother with tears streaming down his face, and then looked back down again with out answering. He did not lie when he said he had no one, Sesshomaru would never help or take care of him, so there for Inuyasha was still alone.

…But even thinking that the small half demon had hoped his brother would take pity on him.

The older siblings eyes widened slightly at the sight of his brothers bruised face, he smelt the pain in the air coming from Inuyasha but he thought it was only emotional not physical.

“Answer me” Sesshomaru’s tone left no room for argument or in Inuyasha’s case silence.

“M-mama died” the child choked “Th-they kicked m-me out of the village”

Inuyasha looked up at his older brother, his tear filled eyes met with Sesshomaru’s impassive ones.

“I don’t know what to do, where to go or anything” the child sobbed. ‘Maybe Sesshomaru will help me’ Inuyasha thought hopefully.

“Please tell me what to do Sesshomaru I’m scared”

Sesshomaru’s breath hitched and eyes widened, this was the first time since Sesshomaru met Inuyasha that the younger sibling ever asked for advice or told Sesshomaru what he was feeling.

Though the older brother could not blame Inuyasha for not being close to him, every time he saw Inuyasha he would insult his younger brother after checking on him, then leave just as quickly as he appeared. No hellos, goodbyes, or love you.

The demon noticed his brothers tears were slowing down and Inuyasha was actually trying to read his face. Quickly as he could Sesshomaru put on his blank emotionless face to cover up the shock written on it.

“I won’t give you advice Inuyasha because that would show I care about your wellbeing, which I don’t.” Sesshomaru said sharply “And of coarse you’re scared, your nothing but a half breed with no power and no worth. Face it Inuyasha you are weak”

Inuyasha felt more tears come to his eyes, Sesshomaru was his last hope. His older brother minus well have stuck his sword through his heart that would have hurt less then Sesshomaru’s words. But his words were always hurtful; its just now Inuyasha knew what his brother said was true.

He was weak because he needed someone to take care of him just like a baby, and he was worthless. If he was worth anything then someone would care about him, the last person on the planet who cared about him died this morning in bed. And as for Sesshomaru caring for him, he was stupid to even have hope in that thought.

The older sibling’s eyes narrowed, Inuyasha was not fighting back. Normally the brat would try to defend himself saying he is to worth something and will prove it someday. But only silence and more tears came from the 5 year old. And that’s when Sesshomaru realized Inuyasha actually believed what he said.

The 5 year old started sobbing again, his small frame shaking under the violent sobs. “Your right” Inuyasha cried “I am nothing but a weak half breed that shouldn’t have been born.”

The demon stared down at the silver haired child, for once not knowing what to do.

“If I wasn’t born m-mama wouldn’t have gotten sick. F-father wouldn’t have died. And you would be happy” Inuyasha wailed

“Silence yourself Inuyasha; do you really think that would be true?” Inuyasha closed his mouth and nodded his head. Sesshomaru knelt down so he was eye level with his brother, and gently brushed his younger brother’s bangs out of his eyes.

The surprised look on Inuyasha’s face almost made Sesshomaru laugh, the half demon looked kind of cute with his mouth open and golden eyes wide. Sesshomaru frowned, he hated the promise he made with his father with a passion, but who knew if Inuyasha grew to be a handsome half breed it might not be so bad.

He knew Inuyasha was waiting for him to say something so he did in a soft voice that his Inuyasha’s dog ears had to strain to hear. “Your mother was sick when she met father, she was just dying slowly and would have died unhappy if she didn’t have you. Father, well father was stupid like you and acted with out thinking. You and your mother were in danger; he still would have died fighting for your mother even if you were not born.

And I was never happy, you think to highly of yourself if you believe that you are the key to my happiness”

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stayed silent each thinking the words over

“Really?” Inuyasha asked in a soft voice. Sesshomaru nodded, and before he could do anything his younger brother wrapped his arms around his neck for their first hug.

Sesshomaru hated yet loved the hug at the same time, and cursed his father for making correct predictions about him and Inuyasha. Then cursed his father again for making him promise to watch over Inuyasha and claim him as his mate when Inuyasha reached his first heat.

Yes the great Dog Demon Lord Sesshomaru had to mate with a half breed, not just any half breed but his half brother. It was wrong in so many ways…
