Brother's Keeper: Scroll 5

The trees flew under him as the hanyou bounded over the ground with terrific speed. InuYasha had never felt the wind like this, it felt good. But the dark truth came crawling back through the air, and InuYasha spat in disgust.

 

Fury, that was what he felt now. After feeling the disgust and the horror, the anger had started to form. A family, a youkai family, his otou's side of the family, ate HUMAN.

 

How could they? How could HE? InuYasha jumped from another branch feeling the wind whack him the face. Picturing Sesshomaru eating, set another wave of fury in InuYasha's body. He hated his onii, the bastard was going to die, InuYasha was going to make sure of it. Not with Tessaiga, no, his otou ate human, he was make something human to kill Sesshomaru. Weather it would be him in his human form or a human weapon itself, he was going to give Sesshomaru an humiliating death. If Sesshomaru thought humans were weak, he was going to get a wakeup call, and join his otou in hell.

 

"Fuck you Sesshomaru!" InuYasha hissed. He almost turned back, and rip his small throat out. InuYasha remembered how Sesshomaru had treated him as a small child, and he felt an unnerving evil creep in his veins as he pictured killing Sesshomaru in such a weak form.

 

InuYasha stopped his sprinting to catch a breath, his face twisted in fury. He looked down at a small pond, seeing two red eyes staring back at him. He was a youkai, his youki was screaming vengeance.

 

"Well, what do we got here?"

 

InuYasha froze, and before he had time to react, pain shot through his shoulder, sending him off his perch. Stunned, InuYasha landed flat on his face, his anger had blinded him, he had not sensed danger coming!

 

"Bastard!" InuYasha spat, if they had followed him, he was going to cut them down one by one. But in front of him was not an Inu youkai.

 

A woman youkai stood in fine gold and white kimono. A bow and arrow flexed in a way to make the arrow go faster. Her hair was dark red, and her eyes a piercing blue, and what was more disturbing was her cunning smile. She looked amused.

 

"Who the hell are you?" InuYasha spat. He looked at his shoulder, and found what was causing pain, the bitch had shot him!

 

"Oh, playing dumb now are we Inu?" She smirked. "I thought you all knew better then running out on your own."

 

"Don't lecture me bitch." InuYasha hissed. He didn't know what this youkai wanted with him, but by the looks of it, it was nothing to his favor. "Now, if you want Shikon no Tama shards. Don't have any."

 

Her face actually dropped in confusion. "Shikon no Tama shards? Never heard of the Shikon no Tama puppy. Is that a weapon you dogs have been hiding?" She smiled, "Hmmm, thanks for the information, now you can take a long nap."

 

"Heh, don't think so bitch." InuYasha took a step away, then he heard rustling behind him. Ducking just in time to see a weapon flying just above his head, he bounded away, landing on another tree branch.

 

The person holding it was dressed the same way as the bitch, but his weapon was long, and...strange. It was square at the end, but a semi-circle was cut int it, looking like a squared crescent moon. InuYasha frowned, he didn't know what these youkai were and why he didn't smell them so well.

 

"Trying to kill me, eh?" InuYasha teased. He wanted a fight, the anger was in his veins, but now he had two injuries, and the one in his shoulder was pounding. He had to find the well, so he decided to dart.

 

Jumping from tree top to another, InuYasha snorted. He would not scum to some low life youkai who were on a mission to kill him, he had more important things to do then dying by their hands.

 

InuYasha felt the wind change behind him, ducking just in time to dodge another one of the females youkai's arrows. Swirling around, InuYasha lashed out his claws, she jumped away avoiding being sliced in half.

 

"Shit!" InuYasha felt the wound on his side shot currents of pain all over his body. His knee came out from under him, forcing back on to the ground.

 

"Your fast dog." InuYasha snarled, and looked up at his pursuers. His stomach dropped, he was surrounded.

 

"Now, let's see, you seem quite young, I do wonder..." the female started. InuYasha wanted to gag.

 

"Look here, bitch. I'm not your lover, so what the hell do you want?" InuYasha spat, standing up, cracking his claws menacingly.

 

"Please." She snorted, disgust quite clear in her voice. "I'm not interested in you disgusting creatures. Though your head would serve us well. So stay still so we can take it, or we can humiliate before we do." She smiled at the last sentence.

 

Damn whore, InuYasha thought. "Not interested, thanks." InuYasha felt nothing familiar with this body at all. He didn't know what kind of power these claws held, but he wasn't about to lose without a fight.

 

Cracking his claws, InuYasha jumped forward, sweeping the deadly tips toward her neck. She brought up her bow and swung her leg to catch him off balance, InuYasha ducked just in time to have her leg sail over his head. But he didn't expect her to rip the arrow from his shoulder.

 

"Shit!" InuYasha snapped. Grabbing his injured shoulder, he brought his fist up ready to slam it into the youkai's face, when movement from behind him caught his eye.

 

"Ugh!" InuYasha didn't have time to completely dodge the blow in midair and the weapon hit him in the arm, sending him into the ground once again.

 

Sheesh, even with Kagome not here, I still get planted as many times into the ground like a dog! InuYasha hissed, he had had enough.

 

Suddenly the blade's semi-circle caught his neck, pinning him to the ground. If the blade or he moved, InuYasha's head would be severed. InuYasha felt horrid, how was he defeated so easily?

 

"No, say good night dog." The male youkai holding the weapon, grunted.

 

"Wait!" InuYasha looked at the female as she approached. "He was injured when we found him the first place, something smells funny here."

 

"Keh, maybe its you." InuYasha spat. The blade sank a tad more into the ground, slicing just barley into the flesh on the back of his neck. InuYasha closed his mouth.

 

Damn, this better all be a nightmare, I need to wake up. InuYasha thought.

 

"Hmmm, interesting." InuYasha suddenly felt hands yanking the armor off that had been given to him to cover his massive side wound, and it was the female who was touching him.

 

"Don't touch me whore!" InuYasha hissed, barring his fangs, and flattening his ears.

 

"Wow, he sure has a mouth on him." Another male youkai said, apparently just another soldier.

 

"Heh, usually they go silent and disappear into their own self-pity." Another solider smirked, "This one has a lot of energy, I wonder what would happen if his head was thrown with the same energy?"

 

"I hear you maggots!" InuYasha gripped. "Tell you the truth, I'm not really good at dying, so you might as well..." With the distraction, InuYasha heaved his leg up slamming the male who had the weapon to his neck and jumped away. Keh, the fools, InuYasha smirked, never let your enemy distract you.

 

"He was marked, how the hell are you still alive?" InuYasha froze, staring at the female. Her face clouded in confusion and anger, aiming her arrow straight at his face. "How are you, Inu youkai, still alive when been marked by She?"

 

InuYasha frowned, "Don't know what youre talking about, but I'm not sticking with you idiots any longer." InuYasha spat. He darted again, but both injuries were bearing on him, causing him to run slower.

 

InuYasha saw the castle in sight, why am I running back there, wasn't I running away...? InuYasha felt dizziness come over as he slammed into the wall of the tall structure.

 

"Tsueesenshi-kun!" InuYasha felt somewhat of a relief, why he didn't know. Just as he was about to pass out, he felt rough hands grab him and pull him back inside the dark palace.

 

"So have you returned, young trouble maker?" InuYasha felt his whole body freeze at the sound of his otou's voice, but he was too tired to care. The darkness soon became his only thought.
