InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Betrayal's Gift ❯ Chapter 4

The feudal era

 

Inuyasha had traveled to the mountain in the west named Inuyama it was the region that his brother had lorded over since their father's death.

 

He thought about when he traveled these parts before with Kagome and Miroku. He growled as he remembered again their betrayal. Pushing these memories from his head he concentrated on the path in front of him when he noticed a crack in the space before his eyes, he was clearly able to see the barrier that he couldn't before. He stepped through without having to use red Tessaiga.

 

It was different, the land was on another dimension yet it was the same land. Humans did not fill the air with their scent. But in fact, the smell of youkai filled the atmosphere.

 

“What the?” Inuyasha said looking around.

 

Shippo just looked on, it didn't faze him, he has seen it before when he chose too and in fact, they've passed through it before, he understood that Inuyasha when he was half youkai could not see the sliver, Kagome and Miroku because of their spiritual powers felt a change, but did not know what it was. Shippo looked up at Inuyasha.

 

“First time you've seen this before huh?”

 

“You mean you were able to see it?”

 

Shippo scratched his head with a smile, he was growing up now, instead of the little kitsune cub he was beginning to hit adolescence by youkai standards. In human age he would be twelve.

 

“Of coarse I was able to see it. I've always been able to see the dimension.”

 

Inuyasha looked thoughtfully at his surroundings. He always sensed something here he just didn't know what it was or didn't pay it any attention.

 

“Why wasn't I able to see it before? And more importantly, why is this barrier so easy to get through?”

 

This time Myouga spoke up.

 

“Well master Inuyasha, it seems that before you weren't able to see it because you were only half youkai, but now that you are a youkai whole, well, you noticed the change in scenery. As far as not needing to break the barrier, some barriers don't need to be broken as this barrier. All youkai can get into this dimension if they choose too. It seems as of late the dimension is growing bigger and bigger. Since Naraku's demise, and all the lesser evil youkai being killed off it seems that the rest don't really want to associate with humans, so, they've pulled in this other dimension.

 

Then they heard a voice behind them.

 

“You are trespassing here on the Taiyoukai's lands, leave here at once.”

 

“Or what?” Inuyasha said evilly.

 

The two youkai guards bucked up against this new comer and drew their weapons.

 

“Hey, do you not recognize Inuyasha, he defeated Naraku!”

 

“Shut up Shippo!” Inuyasha snarled.

 

“But I was only trying to help!” Cried the kitsune massaging a lump on his head.

 

Then Myouga piped in hiding behind his master's silver hair, “and he's Sesshomaru's younger brother.”

 

“Heh, the only younger brother that we know of is the one that is tainted, a filthy hanyou.” Said one guard.

 

“Yeah, and this guy aint' no hanyou.” Said the other.

 

“That's it, I've heard enough now move out of my way!” Inuyasha pulled out his father's fang and upon seeing the mighty sword they both kneeled down to Inuyasha.

 

“Sorry my lord.” They both said in unison.

 

“Well, that was easy enough.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The room was peaceful, it had been a long while since he was able to sit in his home and enjoy the quiet. Albeit you'd never see his contentedness on his face he pretended to pay no mind to the girl who was now fifteen years old play with her child.

 

It was a long story, but Sesshomaru realized that his Rin considered herself a youkai, she was surrounded by them. Her smell wasn't even human anymore, since she only mingled with the youkai in his palace. She fell in love with one of his generals and they both became mates. At first he was really angry, but, he had to think logically and so, now he sat watching her play with her hanyou child.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru, you have a visitor.” Said the youkai woman who looked over his house hold.

 

“Send them away.” He stated in a bored tone.

 

“But my lord….” Said the woman kind of flustered, however, Inuyasha forced his way into the room and all got still.

 

Sesshomaru assessed the person before him and knew who it was, however, he was curious of his little brother's whole youkai scent.

 

“So, how did you do it Inuyasha?”

 

“I bet you'd really want to know heh.”

 

“I see, so then you are here to finally challenge me. Do you deem yourself worthy then?”

 

Rin scooped up her child and ran out of the room while Jaken scurried to a corner yelling at his master to be careful, and yet, yelling at Inuyasha that now he was going to die.

 

Sesshomaru attacked and was surprised again that Inuyasha had full control of the fang that denied youkai touch.

 

“How?”

 

“First, I am not here to challenge you, I only would like that you'd except me now that I am a full youkai, do you except me big brother or do we need to continue with this pointless fight?”

 

Inuyasha's smile lit up the entire room.
