Chapter Three: Unwanted Brotherly Help

Inuyasha ran far into the forest away from everyone, she couldn't handle this right now. So what she had gone through this so many times it was supposed to be over. But no now she was suppose to deal with her brother too. Not this time she wasn't just going to stand by and let this happen to her.

She ran as far as she could go and then boom right into what felt like a stone wall. She landed right on her ass, growling she looked up at the one responsible, of course it was her brother. "Leave me alone you ass I don't want anything to do with you." she said getting up about to walk away only you have her arm to be grabbed. She growled at him with so much rage she just wanted to get away from him.

"Unfortunately little sister neither of us has much choice in the matter. You will accompany this Sesshomaru to ensure your final development. Even if i must drag you by your ears like the misbehaving pup you so wish to act like." He said to the now mouth gaped half demon.

She did not just hear that did she? " Well maybe i wouldn't act like a pup if someone showed me how. But then again that person was to busy looking for more power when he's already a fucking Diayoukai! News flash you're the strongest demon in the western lands." Inuyasha ranted trying to jerk her arm from his grip to no avail.

Sesshomaru however looked like he never even heard her. But she saw a shine in his eye that told her otherwise "What?!" she yelled. Sesshomaru however did the small smile that would creep people out. "You have admitted that this Sesshomaru is the strongest in the land." he replied Inuyasha was confused "So what I'm stating a fact I give credit where it's due but it doesn't make you untouchable." Inuyasha replied as Sesshomaru released her arm "Regardless in this final stage you are vulnerable and as such it is this Sesshomaru's duty to ensure your safety." he said

"Why? Why do you have to care huh I've gone through this multiple times so why now of all times?," Inuyasha asked as she decided to sit down near a tree knowing running wasn't gonna work now. Sesshomaru however remained standing looking down at his pup of a sister. Pup was a word that could be used no longer now as Inuyasha looked much more mature. She was taller, almost Sesshomaru height her face lost some of it's roundness. To be replaced with an attractive sharpness, her chest had also filled out more. Sesshomaru could see her cloth wrap barely held them; he would have to see her without her robe to see the extent of her change. 'That would have to wait until the Half breed to calm down." Lord Sesshomaru thought, staring at his sister " It is because you have no control over your body. You have more strength in your limbs than ever before Inuyasha. Which requires … supervision from one of the dog demon clan members." Sesshomaru said looking off into the distance.

"I never needed anyone's protection before so why now huh?" She asked resting her head on her knees not even looking at her brother. All those years of being alone with no one to protect her she didn't have it then she doesn't need it now.

"What of your companions, as you are now you can't control your own strength. One wrong move and you would break their bones or a lowly demon shows itself and you lose your strength in a crucial moment and your friends die. All of this can happen to Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said to her, Inuyasha knew he wasn't lying. Sesshomaru never lied, he was too prideful. It was one of the few things that she admired about her brother. With a sigh Inuyasha stood up "Where to next then?" she asked him. "We will head to the center of the western kingdom there you will be able to adjust correctly." Sesshomaru said

"Is there anything else I should know before we head off?" Inuyasha asked but Sesshomaru remained quiet "It is of no concern of yours Inuyasha now come." He said inuyasha stood but did not move. "Wait I'm not gonna have to put up with the green imp am I?" Inuyasha asked following behind her brother. "No Jaken has been ordered to stay with your companions until our return." Sesshomaru replied Inuyasha nodded following along with thoughts of her friends and what to come.

Just then a breeze swept past them tussling their hair as it past by them heading south. Past mountains and rivers straight to a cave to a still form the breeze hit the being. It moved as it stirred from its slumber "Well what do we have here it's been centuries since an Inu has reached maturity ." The creature said, raising up on his four legs. "Finally the hunt begins again." the creature said before walking into the sunlight. Letting out a powerful howl into the winds.

Inuyasha thought she heard something and paused mid step she looked around not knowing where it came from. Shrugging her shoulder she quickly caught up to her brother. 'Can't believe I'm actually going along with this me and Sesshomaru traveling together.' Inuyasha scoffed as she looked at Sesshomaru who ignored her stares as he walked.

In truth Inuyasha wonders why Sesshomaru even cared as far as from what he's said Inuyasha is not part of the clan. "Do you find this Sesshomaru enamoring little sister?" Sesshomaru said not evening looking at Inuyasha as he walked down the forest path. Blushing Inuyasha looked elsewhere "No you arrogant jackass!" Inuyasha grunted. Sesshomaru made another small smile, not making another sound as they traveled. The two remained silent for a large amount of the day as it turned into night. They both continued to walk through the night without having humans with them to slow them down.

Sesshomaru himself was going through an inner monologue 'This is unexpected the elders said it would be near a miracle for the half breed to survive maturity. Yet she made it through her maturity without aid.' Sesshomaru said as he and Inuyasha came across a hot spring.

"Finally I could smell this a while back I so need a soak." Inuyasha sighed before walking towards the pool. Sesshomaru however did not appreciate her need for a delay "We must continue, now is not the time for luxury Inuyasha." He said, reaching out to stop grab her arm, she turned and gripped his wrist. She growled looking in her brother's face "Listen and listen to me good I just went through the worst amount of pain I ever went through. I have aches in places I don't want to mention. I have been silent and haven't complained one bit. I'm taking a soak whether you like it or not." Inuyasha said releasing him and walking over to the spring.

Sesshomaru stared down at his wrist as a bruise formed and faded. Flexing his wrist to make sure it was fixed and not damaged in it's repair. Inuyasha paid Sesshomaru no mind as she undressed and walked into the spring she released a sigh as she sunk into the water. Her muscles finally relaxed under hot water "Ah I so needed this." Inuyasha said, sinking deeper " Are you quite done then." Sesshomaru said as he looked at her. Inuyasha scoffed "Why don't you get in here to there's more than enough room. It would probably get the stick out your ass too." she said leaning more into the spring.

" You expect this Sesshomaru bath with you little sister?" he said. Inuyasha shrugged her shoulders "Do what you want, I really don't care unless you're ashamed of your body." Inuyasha said, giving Sesshomaru a sideways glance. Inuyasha saw him visibly flinch before he walked over as well and disrobed. Inuyasha's eyes were closed as she sensed the water move "Not bad huh?" she asked across the spring she received a growl "Be silent you insufferable wench." he said and inuyasha chuckled "Hey calm down let's just let this spring do its job." Inuyasha said, leaning her head back of course wouldn't be relaxing as he kept his normal vigilance.

He wasn't too concerned none of the demons nearby would dare to appear in his presence. That being said his eyes went back to Inuyasha's form. Obviously she seemed more built in a feminine way, no hard muscle or strong definition anywhere. As he observed the fall and rise of her chest which as the rest of her had grown.``Stop looking at my breast pervert." Inuyasha said while her eyes were closed. Which did alert Sesshomaru was he staring that long? Inuyasha chuckled "You travel long enough with a pervert monk and you develop this kind of sense when someones looking at you." She explained he scoffed "I would not be aware of such a thing." Sesshomaru said offhandedly as steam rose up from the water at that Inuyasha chuckled again. "Oh I think you do, that skin crawling sensation all over your body, that's the feeling." Inuyasha said, looking at Sesshomaru's face as it got tight for a moment, she smiled " Kinda like how i feel when that green toad looks at you when you strike." Inuyasha said before bursting into laughter at the look of Sesshomaru's sour face.

That laughter died quickly however as the wave of water hit her dead in her face. She spat water out her mouth before glaring at her brother. "What the hell's your problem?!" she yelled towards Sesshomaru who's face returned to normal save for the death glare. "Never insinuate that Jaken craves this Sesshomaru's flesh again half breed." Sesshomaru said in an even colder tone than usual, Inuyasha rolled her eyes "Yeah uh huh sure, you're just mad because it's true."Inuyasha whispered.

However she panicked when Sesshomaru stood straight up. When he did Inuyasha got a full view of her big brother, turning red Inuyasha turned her face away "Oh my god what the hell is your problem, sit your ass down!" she yelled as more heat rose to her face. Sesshomaru however paid her embarrassment no mind as he walked over to her. "You were warned not to make that sick comment Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said reaching out and grabbing her by the arm. He stopped however when he noticed her red face and slow smirk crept onto his face. " Are you shy imouto?" Sesshomaru asked as Inuyasha refused to look at his face "No I just can't look at you when you got that thing between legs hanging out!" She yelled Sesshomaru however was beyond amused.

"Have you never seen the male form Inuyasha." he said whispering into her ear.

Inuyasha froze as she glanced to the side getting a good look at Sesshomaru's face. Thank god the water covered his waist and again 'wait a minute.' she thought, looking back at Sesshomaru's face. "Bastard you're enjoying this aren't you!" she yelled trying to push him away but found it difficult. 'what the hell?' went through her head when inuyasha as she tried to push harder. Sesshomaru however merely smirked as Inuyasha's attempt. "Are you quite done with my person." Sesshomaru said feeling more amused then he had in years. Inuyasha turned bright red from embarrassment and she tried to get away. However, she realized something that something was that Sesshomaru now stood in between her legs.
