Inuyasha: A Story Between Brothers

Inuyasha's Second Encounter/ The Open Window Of Growth For Sesshomaru

Yoshua, highly damaged, spat some blood on the ground after engaging in an intense battle with Sesshomaru. 'He got that arm from Naraku.' Ceutra thought, looking at his brother's knocked out body. Sesshomaru's "new arm" was slowly affecting his body, so Yoshua had to cut it clean off before it killed his brother. Whether Sesshomaru had a massive ego or not, he was Yoshua's brother. 'To think that Sesshomaru would join forces with someone who almost had our brother killed. It's maddening at best and disappointing at worst. Does that stupid fang matter that much to him? Especially when he has a weapon of his own?' Yoshua could only wonder. For now, he had to pick up Tessaiga and Sesshomaru and race off to Inuyasha's location.

And given what he was sensing, he had no time to lose.

"This barrier is filled with Demonic energy." In the meanwhile, Mioku and Elihu found Naraku's castle. The problem was the barrier that protected Naraku's castle. Neither Mioku or Elihu could break through it.

"That explains why we couldn't break through it." Elihu crossed his arms. "If my brothers were here, then maybe this barrier wouldn't stand a chance."

"Yes." Mioku replied. "With Yoshua and Koshawn and Inuyasha, we might have a chance of destroying this barrier."

"I'm inculding Sesshomaru too." Elihu told Mioku. "Despite his high ego, Sesshomaru could be a big help to us. On top of that, he has to learn how to become a better brother to Inuyasha/Yoshua/Koshawn/and myself."

"That won't come overnight." Mioku remarked. "You do know that right?"

Elihu grinned. "Yeah. I know." He told her. "But it would be nice to have him with us. Our father would have wanted that. Despite not being a part of our lives."

"You told me about that on the way here. Can you tell me why your father and the father of your brothers never tried to visit you all in your western island home?" Mioku asked Elihu.

Elihu shrugged. "It doesn't matter." He told her. "It was something important keeping him from us. Whatever or whoever that was doesn't matter. My brothers matter to me. We each have to be an example for one another, holding each other accountable for our mishaps and mistakes. What father did in his personal life was none of our business. As long as he is with us in spirit, that is what matters to my brothers and myself."

"Elihu..." Mioku approached him and placed her hands in his. "This is why I am in love with you so. This is the reason why I chose you to make me the mother of our children."

Elihu sweated. "Right..." He chuckled. "I suppose you tell that to all the guys."

Mioku sweated. "Well..." She chuckled. "Kinda. But I never allowed any of them to sleep with me or make me a mother of their children. You would be the first Elihu. The first to make me...A mother...Before this curse on my hand engulfs me whole."

"Once naraku's destroyed, you'll be back to your normal self." Elihu replied. "I can promise you that-" All of a sudden, Elihu and Mioku felt something unnatural take place. Something unnatural taking place between...

"Inuyasha!" Mioku shouted. "He's in trouble!"

"Tell me something I don't know." Elihu grunted. "And Kikyo's behind it. I cannot wait to see how this is going to pan out."

"So lemme get this straight." When Kagome arrived back to the past, she was met by a highly tattered clothing Koshawn and this mysterious demon slayer named Sango. "She wanted to kill Inuyasha. But you intervened. You two fought. And now all of a sudden, she's on our side now?" They were racing also towards this unnatural feeling that was happening at Inuyasha's location.
