Broken
Chapter 3
Memory

It all came back in a jolt. The memories, the memories within his heart had been unlocked in his silent howl to the air. He whimpered, holding the dieing woman in his arms.

Kagome rushed towards him but all he could see of her was a blur; Just an outline in his memory.

And then they came…he remember all of them and every detail that came to pass.

------Flashback

"Come on inu no niichan! Keep up the work! There you have it!"

InuYasha huffed heavily as he thrust his wooden sword towards his opponent. `It's no use,' he told himself, golden eyes looking up into deep ambers. A smile shifted through the helmet that the warrior wore. The samurai stood at their stance, ready for the hanyou's attack. "YEAAAHHHH!!" cried the smaller form as it charged. The warrior stood still as he plunged towards them that smile still on their face. But in a swift motion they dodged out of the way before the hanyou could strike sending him tripping and skidding into the mud behind.

The warrior shook their head and bellowed a hearty laugh before they gave him a pat on his side and pulled him up out of the mud. "InuYasha," the samurai giggled, "you look like that time you landed in that dragonet's dung!" The hanyou gave a glare at his opponent and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yuushishan…" he growled. "That was totally unfair," InuYasha blubbered before plopping down in the mud with a flump.

"Aww otouto," the warrior smiled before pulling off the helmet. Pure white hair tinged with a crystal blue shine fell from its encasement. The face that now appeared in front of the 9-year-old child was soft and full of care as if made by the gods. The skin was as fair as a fine piece of silk, decorated with ocean blue streams that curved the cheekbones. Despite the dirt and sweat, the maiden's amber gaze was stunning enough to entrance even the highest-ranking demons. "InuYasha, have you been doing what I asked or just chasing the squirrels again?" the maiden laughed with a huge smile on her face. A gloved hand reached over to tweak the mud-covered ears of the hanyou that lay in the mud.

"No!" he would protest, standing up within the grime of his defeat. He bowed his head lightly to the woman then smiled a toothy grin. "Nah, you know me!"

"Of course I would! What sister would I be if I didn't even know my own brother?"

"A bad one!" InuYasha shouted then bared his fangs. "An evil one with large teeth and and...hisses! Like a neko-youkai!" Yuushi burst out laughing and swung the smaller demon upon her shoulder.

---

It was silent as they sat in the trees in their secluded area within the woods; InuYasha hummed a light tune as he kicked his legs back and forth.

"Inu no niichan…"

"Hmm?" the hanyou cocked his head to the side, blinking at his sister. A frown formed at her sad face.

"I have to go…again."

"NO! Why do you keep leaving?"

"It is father's word that I should tend to the up rise in the upper part of our lands. The humans and demons there are ready to battle. What their purpose is, it is unknown but I guess dad is hoping I can setting the dispute," the girl sighed.

"Well you are a good negotiator…" InuYasha nodded.

"But what about my mother? She is continually upset with our father because he trained me with a sword."

"Is that bad?"

Yuushi shook her head from side to side, her white-blue hair swinging behind her. "Not necessarily. It really depends on the person I guess, but …I couldn't help it. Aniki got to spend so much time with father…"

------

"Father?"

"Hai, flower?"

Yuushi snorted, ruffling her kimonos. "Why must I wear these? They are so heavy!" she sighed, looking sadly at the elder demon before her. Rushing over to the side of the balcony she then looked back at the inutaisho. "Why can't I train to wield a sword? Sesshouma-"

"That is because you are a female, you must remain untouched by bloodshed as they will. It is your mother's wish."

"But! I don't want to be some regal snob! I wish to fight and lead an army into battle…" she spoke solemnly, watching her elder brother continuously cut down the dummies that stood before him in the garden.

------

"I guess I really AM a negotiator," the female youkai chuckled. "Father seemed to finally give in."

------

"Father?"

"Hai, flower?"

"Eh…Father...I have been training."

"For what, my little maiden?" He smiled and run his fingers through her hair.

"Sword fighting."

InuTaisho stood back to gaze at his daughter and sighed, walking to one of the grand windows of the study. "You know of what your mother wished..."

"My mother keeps me up with stupid kanji and painting lessons. Haven't you forgotten my name? What it means? You are breaking my spirit," came a whine as she stood up to her father and lightly clung to his arm.

"Let me join your army."

------

"Oi are you done with that apple?"

"Sure go ahead you can have it." InuYasha smiled and threw the apple to his sibling on the branch below his.

"Hnn..." she crunched lightly on the apple, watching the castle far way glitter in the light of the twilight. With a sigh she looked up to her younger sibling. "We should be getting back. Come on pup." Leaping up she took a hold of his waist and began to jump through the trees.

"Nee-san!!" InuYasha's boyish giggles faded through the trees.

-----------

"But Father! She is but a lotus blossom! She cannot fight in this war!"

"Hush, Sesshoumaru. This is my final word. Her namesake. Respect her authority."

"But FATHER! General? Why General? She just NOW joined your army!"

"Obviously she is more intelligent and I have even seen her battle strategies work. I have no doubt that with her we might win this war."

"And me? You say I'm to `guard' the castle. From what? We have plenty of guards. Why can't I join as well?"

InuTaisho walked away into the next room, ignoring his eldest's bickering.

Sesshoumaru growled silently, narrowing his eyes as a silent vow was whispered under his breath.

-----------

"InuYasha...! Stop pulling my tail and...Oh hello Aniki," Yuushishan paused on the path from the forest into the gardens, blinking at her eldest brother standing among some fire lilies.

"Please refrain yourself from calling me that."

"Oh? Aniki? Please, let me give my humble apologies o' exalted one," Yuushishan exaggerated just a little bit as she bowed, a giggling InuYasha still hanging by her tail.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes then sent his glare to the giggling half demon.

"Oh exalted one!? Why do thee stand among the pretty flowers? Does thee wish to explain something about ones affections to the…same gender?" the sister continued on.

InuYasha burst out laughing and began to roll around in the dirt. He was silence however when the form of his brother grabbed the runt by the scruff of his neck.

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at the half-demon, daring him to continue laughing. When silence was returned, the eldest brother shifted his gaze to his sister, keeping his eyes narrowed. "No, I have nothing to explain," he spoke flatly and dropped the coughing half-breed into his sister's arms. "I have no time to waist with both of you." He walked away briskly, forgetting a slight feel of wind on his lower half and the odd way his feet kept getting tangled with something.

"See InuYasha…all it takes is practice." The female youkai grinned ear to ear, waving her brother's stolen sash in the air.

"YuushiiSHAN!!"
