Hiyah! This is my first InuYasha Fanfic! I just felt like doing one after reading some SessInu stories. I don't want to make it a M rated story because I suck at lemons and I've seen plenty of good ones so...

I wanted to make a stronger InuYasha but I definitely don't want to bash Kagome because she's a nice girl :(

So this InuYasha's slightly dense but he's street smart and Sesshomaru is super young in this story. Well in his preteens and he's still snobby but in a cute way...

I hope I can portray them well... I really like these two!

Sesshomaru sulked with his arms crossed, his father, Inu no Taisho, told him he had to go to a private school for nobles. Obviously his father was fed up with his behavior,

"Sesshomaru, my son, you have to learn how to get along with people if you are to take my place..."

What is wrong with killing or maiming anyone who is stupid to aggravate him?! Only the strong live and the weak die! And those low class demons want to control him because he's the heir to the Lord of the West but Sesshomaru refuse to be controlled by such weaklings; he is Sesshomaru! He made so many enemies that almost everyday he's fed poison and almost everyday there's a new cook.

Besides he's built enough resistance to handle almost any fatal poison and create his own acidic poison, but of course his father wanted to protect his son so off to private school...

And to make things worse, his father also chosen a body guard to watch over him! A bodyguard! Sesshomaru growled, feeling the hair on the back of his neck rise in anger. He was not weak! And his pride would've feel less wounded if his father had allowed him to make his own choice, after all wasn't he nearly an adult? Oh well... His father was just as, if not more stubborn than himself,

"Please come this way, InuYasha-san." Jaken's raspy voice was heard echoing through the hall, Sesshomaru rubbed his temples. What kind of name is Dog Demon? Obviously his parents had no imagination, then again he was a half-breed. Sesshomaru's lips curled in disdain, an unwanted child, damn his father for favoring those weak pathetic creatures. Now Sesshomaru will be the laugh stock of the whole school if they find out he has a half-breed for a bodyguard. The sound of an unfamiliar gait reached his sharp ears.

Expecting an ill-mannered brute with muscles but no brain, Sesshomaru's chin nearly slip off his palm when he saw the young man before him. InuYasha had his head down in respect, but the submissive act teased the stone face dog demon to no end. He wanted to see the hanyou's face.

The silver silk tassels hanging down, his smooth but tanned skin spoke of health, the thin muscles coil and danced at the half-breed's every move, and when the bodyguard lifted his head. Sesshomaru sat back as matching golden orbs sought his eyes.

"How dare you lift your head at my presence?" Sesshomaru said coldly, inwardly, Sesshomaru hadn't meant to say that but damn! That man caught him off guard, with those eyes! InuYasha merely raised an eyebrow before lowering his head respectfully. Sesshomaru felt his heart twist when the golden orbs hid themselves from view.

"Hanyou, tell me your name." Sesshomaru felt quite silly for asking that question but he wanted to hear the dog demon say it, he wanted to hear the demon's voice and that was all he could think of.

"InuYasha, my lord." The bowed hanyou replied, his voice was a bit raspy from disuse but anyone could hear the smooth husky undertones. Sesshomaru's toes nearly curled in pleasure from the smooth voice.

InuYasha bit his lip, damn did he have to babysit this prissy arrogant brat? If it wasn't for the favor he owed Inu no Taisho, he would've never ever agreed to this silly idea. First of this brat, as annoying as he was, was a purebred demon whose lineage blessed him with great powers and abilities while InuYasha's lineage brought him nothing but pain and shame...

Sesshomaru's eyes roamed over the lean man, he noticed there was a thin sword attached to the man's right side and a long coiled whip on his left side, along with small daggers attached to his long legs. InuYasha raised his head slowly and at almost glacial speed his golden eyes appeared as his long bangs fell to the side. Sesshomaru felt his breath hitch for a moment but he growled.

"I will take my leave now." InuYasha said cooly before turning on his heel, leaving without Sesshomaru's permission. Sesshomaru's face remain impassive but anyone could smell the anger radiating off him, Jaken gaped and grasped in helpless shock, that rude little half-breed treating the great Sesshomaru like this?! If Inu no Taisho didn't tell the little kappa to treat the half-demon with respect he would've...

InuYasha marched down the hall, he threw the sliding door open with a growl. He ignored all the shocked and annoyed gasps the servants gave him. Damn... He's gonna have to deal with this brat 24/7 until the prissy brat finishes school or at least get in his father's good graces, InuYasha sighed; he deserved a few moments of freedom. All that submissive and polite act was just an act,

"Feh, as if I am all wussy like that!" InuYasha said as he laid down on the futon, ""Heck, if Kagome could see me know..." His voice trailed off as a twinge of pain tore through his heart.

The old withered hand laid still in his, "NOOOOO!" InuYasha shrieked twisting his head side to side in agony, he drew the old woman's corpse close. He felt a large and strong hand rest on his shaking shoulders,

"Let her go InuYasha..." A firm but full of grief voice said, InuYasha turned his tear stained face to the silver demon behind him. He whimpered and held Kagome tighter,

"You can save her! Use Tenseiga to bring her back!" InuYasha begged, but the great Inu no Taisho shook his head sadly. "Why? You're not even fucking trying!" InuYasha roared, trying to wrestle the sword out of the dog demon's grip.

"She's gone and even if I do bring her back, I cannot restore her youth or prevent her from dying again." The Lord of the West explained carefully to the hysterical hanyou. "Let her go..."

"NO! No! No!" InuYasha wailed over and over, trapped in his grief, his hands slid down the lord's kimono. InuYasha's legs gave out and he collapsed into the mud as rain drops merged with salty tears. A horrible wail was drowned out by the roaring thunder...

InuYasha closed his eyes painfully and rolled to his side as he clutched his chest. Kagome... Tears prickle the corners of his eyes as he fell into a troubled but dreamless slumber.

"I heard he was in love with a priestess, a human!"

"Expected of a hanyou..."

"Heard she died... Lord Inu no Taisho pitied him and took him in..."

"Soiling our air with his filthy half-breed scent!"

Sesshomaru frowned as the gossip rose from the servant quarters into his ears. A human? In love with a priestess? Sesshomaru shook his head, what foolishness! Humans were disgusting creatures that cling onto you when they need help but then turn on you like selfish greedy worms they were. Priestesses, were worse, always attack you regardless if you want to help them or not.

Sesshomaru sniffed daintily just to show his disapproval of the servants tarrying, all the gossips died out as the servants backed away from the volatile lord. They watched their young master through bowed heads and submissive gazes, Sesshomaru bore it all with a impassive and bored tone. As he marched closer and closer to his new bodyguard's room, he felt... Alive.

This was his chance! To see his potential and limits in the outside world! If it wasn't for his training he would've skipped around and danced around in excitement. He was finally free to go outside... All because his father believed a hanyou could provide him enough protection, at that thought, Sesshomaru's lips curled. A hanyou stronger than Sesshomaru himself? Maybe more experience but in terms of strength, by all means Sesshomaru is far more superior.

"My son," Sesshomaru could hear the exasperation in his father's voice, "InuYasha may be a hanyou but he is far from weak."

"He is a brutish half-breed." Sesshomaru answered coldly, his eyes glowed. A spike of anger appeared in the Western Lord's youkai, Inu no Tashio sighed and rested his cheek against his palm,

"Sesshomaru, you have many things to learn... One of them is what true strength is..." A faraway look glazed over Inu no Tashio's eyes, Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow at the dog demon,

"And you think that... That hanyou is enough?" Sesshomaru said in a quiet voice warped in disgust,

Sesshomaru nearing the half-breed's room waved away the guards and servants, without a word, they knew their lord was not to be disturbed, not even on the pain of death. Sesshomaru slid the doors open and went inside, as he closed the paper doors he gave the hallway a warning glare before shutting it tight. He took a deep breath before sniffing cautiously, the guest room in which the hanyou resided in was quite big.

Sesshomaru wandered around the clean room. He had noticed that there was not an article of anything out of ordinary, as in the room looked as if no one was living in it. In fact he didn't see a single evidence of what the hanyou might've owned, not that he wanted to rob the hanyou. As if he would take something from that poor creature, Sesshomaru wrinkled his nose. So the hanyou owned nothing more that clothes on his back and his weapons? How on earth did he last that long?

Sesshomaru sniffed in the air again, the hanyou was close... Very close... A hand clamped over Sesshomaru's wrists before slamming the surprised demon on the ground. Sesshomaru tried to struggle but his arms were pinned down by the hanyou's knees and the hanyou had one hand pressing the proud demon's cheek to the ground.

Sesshomaru creased his struggles when he saw the hanyou's silver hair pool around him, Sesshomaru's eyes widen as he felt the half-breed's warm breath on his pointy ear.

"What are you doing here, princess?" A rough voice said over him. Sesshomaru's twisted his head to look at the beautiful hanyou. The filtering sunlight cast a golden glow over the man like a halo. Golden eyes peer at him from the tanned face, the silvery hair was a sharp contrast to the hanyou's skin color.

Feeling bad, InuYasha relinquished his grip on the demon's head, the lad was nothing more than a stripling. Although InuYasha only loosened his grip slightly on the purebred demon he was thrown nearly half-way across the room by the enraged demon. InuYasha's ears nearly fell flat when he felt a burst of energy and anger exploding out of the young demon. Hmmm, so princess did it? InuYasha grinned, he was in need of some entertainment anyway...

The young lord was quivering with rage, his eyes had turned red with anger, his claws glowed green with venom and his fangs prodded out of his lips. A predatory growl escaped his tight lips, InuYasha just cocked an eyebrow at him. Seriously? InuYasha thought as he cracked his knuckles,

"Don't be such a pansy... Princess..." InuYasha added just to spite the proud youkai. A smirked played across his lips as the purebred youkai charged at him with a roar. InuYasha whipped out sword in flash as he waited for the young lord to tackle him...

"Take care of my son, InuYasha..." Inu no Tashio said as he clapped his large hand on the smaller male's shoulder. InuYasha growled,

"Why? He's a fucking pure breed, he can wipe his own ass..." InuYasha snapped, remembering all the suffering he suffered under pompous purebreds.

InuYasha closed his mouth with a clack when he caught a warning glare from the dog demon, InuYasha turned his head away with his ears flat against his skull in submission. A soft growl was all the resistance the hanyou gave but it meant Inu no Tashio could trust him because... InuYasha maybe of lower class but he was not without honor and could be trusted...

"InuYasha..." The demon lord said, his deep and powerful voice enveloped the lonely hanyou like cat's purr. Some of the bitterness went out of InuYasha's eyes as he sat on his hunches.

"My son, Sesshomaru..." The great demon sighed and looked out of the open window with a sad expression on his face. "Is insecure..."

InuYasha snorted rudely and scratched his ear with foot, he really didn't give a damn. But this was LORD Inu no Tashio's son so InuYasha stopped scratching his ear and listened with an irritated aura surrounding him.

"Well? What's the prick so freakin' insecured about?" InuYasha asked boldly without honorifics or half the kiss-ass the demon lord got from his fellow nobles.

Inu no Tashio shot the rude hanyou a glare, though InuYasha was trustworthy he was quite rude and brazen. InuTashio shook his head and dug the balls of his fingers into his aching temples. He could already hear Sesshomaru and InuYasha fighting all the time but somehow, a smile flitted across the lord's face, he knew they would get along.

"You see, InuYasha, in the demon hierarchy, there is always an alpha or leader in a relationship and a follower or beta."

InuYasha nodded, so? His eyes prompted,

"So in Sesshomaru's case... Well demons do not develop their roles until puberty." InuTashio explained lamely, he didn't want to go into details but when he caught the careless look the hanyou gave him, he nearly blew up. InuYasha wasn't even trying to understand or connect the dots! All he cared about was his... His cute and fluffy ears!

Catching the dog demon's intense gaze made InuYasha stop and lower himself further in respect, he had a bad feeling... If he didn't stop aggravating the demon lord, he might be punished again... InuYasha's white ears pressed themselves so flat against his skull that it practically merged with his hair, a low whine issued out of InuYasha's mouth.

"Fine, you're forgiven, now stop that whining!" Inu no Tashio commanded, "Well..." Inu no Tashio scratched his neck and floundered around for words, his hands gesturing helplessly. All he was met with was the blank stare of a clueless InuYasha, sigh, the half-breed really didn't know...

"Well, you see... Argh, Sesshomaru is afraid of becoming a beta!"

"So?" InuYasha shrugged his shoulders and began grooming himself. Again with that ear, Inu no Tashio thought.

"So I want you to protect Sesshomaru from other nobles! I know that you would not be bribed or coerced into submitting to their whims unlike other youkais so I place my trust in you." Inu no Tashio said in fustration, must he spell out everything?

"So? What's wrong with the other prissy nobles?" InuYasha asked, "Won't it be a perfect match or some shit like that?"

"Argh are you that stupid InuYasha?"

"What? Are you stupid? He's got money and a nice roof over his head what more could he want?" InuYasha shot back,

"InuYasha there's more to life than wealth and a nice roof over your head."

"What? Happiness?" Disgust filled InuYasha's voice but there was a bitter pain laced neatly within his angry tone, "You, high and might purebred youkais, are so fucking hard to please."

"InuYasha..." Inu no Tashio warned, InuYasha stopped and looked bashful as he sunk lower. Another sigh erupted out of the lord's lips, "I want you to protect my only son," Stressing on only, InuYasha's ears twitched.

"He is innocent in the ways of the world and there are many demons after him due to his heritage and rank." Inu no Tashio's claws dug deeper into the armrests, "Males will try to dominate him and females will try to seduce him because this is his most critical phase of his life but InuYasha" Hard golden eyes stared at the kneeling hanyou, "Only you, do I trust, do not fail me."

Well, owww... InuYasha thought as he slammed through the paper doors like they were nothing, damn it, demon nobles and their nasty tempers! InuYasha drew his hand back before clamming in down on Sesshomaru's face. InuYasha's nose wrinkled when he felt Sesshomaru's slobber all over his hand but he didn't stop his charge. Bam! InuYasha slammed the struggling youkai on the ground then a hiss of pain escaped when InuYasha felt a burning pain on his side.

InuYasha twisted his head back to see his clothes melting and his flesh bubbling underneath the demon's stripped hands. He slapped the demon's acidic claws away roughly and pinned the demon's wrists with his knees. Sesshomaru growled at him while withering around. InuYasha really hoped the demon didn't know how to engulf his body with poison because it would hurt like hell. A cocky grin formed over InuYasha's face,

"Feeling better, Princess?"

Reviews please!

Yes I know InuYasha looks different...

When I thought of this story I've thought of InuYasha with his hair tied into a loose ponytail, he wears black, don't worry his fire rat clothes will be coming soon, I wanted InuYasha to be some kind of mentor so he uses a whip (because Sesshomaru's main weapon is his poison whip)

So review! I need to know what's lacking or confusing because everything appears perfectly fine in my head.
