A/N: Inuyasha's thoughts at the beginning.
“Pathetic Halfbreed!”
‘Why do you call me these names?’
“If you can't hunt, you can't survive!”
‘Are you trying to help me?’
Sesshomaru's whip sliced across Inuyasha's cheek.
‘Or are you trying to kill me?’
“Stand still.” Sesshomaru commanded the next second as he turned Inuyasha’s cheek to him. He gave the wound one small lick, it began to heal.
‘Do you care for me?’
“You will eat this.” Sesshomaru waved his hand at the vole Inuyasha caught.
‘You seem to…sometimes.’
"Live for thirty seconds against me, I will allow you to live for the day." Sesshomaru said. He was in front of him, swinging his claws down with deadly force. They dug deeply into Inuyasha's back.
‘You hurt me,’
“Weakling.” Sesshomaru hissed, punching the half demon repeatedly.
‘You beat me,’
He was thrown in the air and landed on the hard ground.
‘You say you want to kill me too…’
With that, Sesshomaru left him alone so he could heal.
‘But you don’t.’
“Stay.” he instructed so he could hunt for both of them.
‘Why?’
--x--x--x--
“Idiot!” Sesshomaru growled as he swung the Tokijin down.
“Fuck you!” Inuyasha snarled, bringing the Tetsusaiga up to block.
Unfortunately he was a too late. Tetsusaiga slipped down to Tokijin’s hilt. Sesshomaru pushed his arm down, causing Inuyasha to drop the Tetsusaiga on the ground.
He sucked in a breath, the point of Tokijin at the back of his neck. This time he was alone. And Sesshomaru would kill him. He lost.
He almost fell over when he heard Sesshomaru’s footsteps going away from him.
‘Why?’
“Why, damn it?! Why don't you strike the final blow?!"
“Because you are my brother.” he answered.
