Learning how to be a half-breed

Chapter 1: The unintended curse

Sesshomaru was sitting by a tree watching Rin pick flowers as usual. It was like she did nothing other than that. Sesshomaru just sighed and went back to wondering when he should attack Inuyasha next, and what his reason would be. He couldn't use the tessaiga excuse, the revenge excuse or the you-attacked-Rin excuse. Saying he was just plain bored wouldn't work. Nothing was happening so he was bored, bored, bored and more bored. He was so happy he would never have to suffer being a half-breed.

With Naraku and his detachments

"URG! I hate that filthy half-breed Inuyasha! If he didn't have that stupid sword, he'd of been dead a long time ago and I wouldn't have to worry about him!" Naraku stated that very angrily. He hated it when people got in his way like that.

"Perhaps if he could be more like Shippo, being young and defenseless things would be better for you." Kanna said in her dead voice.

"Yeah, I wouldn't have to go after him all the time either." Kagura said annoyed. She would rather go after Sesshomaru. She smiled at that last thought.

"If he were a child, yes! That would be perfect! You are a genius Kanna!" Naraku was now happier than ever. Kanna and Kagura just looked at each other. They both knew that Naraku didn't act like that unless he was extremely happy.

"I will have a curse ready for him in no time. Kukukukukukuku!"

With Inuyasha and the others

"I'm bored! Can't we go play a game or something?" Shippo wined. Inuyasha thought that his annoyed voice was so annoying. He just gave him a noogie and left. Secretly, Inuyasha wished Sesshomaru would attack right then and there. Coincidently, his wish came true.

"Hello Inuyasha. Are you prepared to die?"

"Hah! You wish! What's your reason for attacking us this time! I love to hear all of your excuses."

"I'm just bored, like you. The only difference between that is that my opinion matters. A half-breed like you doesn't even deserve a place in society. Ah, there's my excuse, you're a half-breed and a disgrace to my clan."

Inuyasha was just fuming at that last comment.

"OH THAT"S IT YOU ARE SO DEAD!"

Sesshomaru just smiling that he had a challenge accepted it and leapt into the battle.

Meanwhile, with a dark sorceress

"I have done it! I have resurrected the might Inutaisho! He will have to obey me and I will become the ruler of all the lands! Muahahahahahaha!"

She took a close look at the man she had resurrected. He was HUGE! His hair was in a high ponytail and it was long and white. He had soft yet determined amber eyes and was sort of tan. To her eyes, he was magnificent.

The dark sorceress had no idea how wrong she was. In an instant, her dead body was hanging on the floor.

"I would never allow myself to be ordered by a weak dark sorceress such as yourself."

He got up and left the body to lye there limply (I know, that was redundant.)

Back to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru

Rin and Jaken finally arrived at the scene. Once they arrived, neither fighter had their sword, they were just wrestling each other on the ground.

"You're a goner this time Sesshomaru!"

"I do believe it's the other way around, little brother." Sesshomaru just snapped back.

They continued fighting like little kids strangling each other not even noticing that a certain someone that was very recently resurrected was watching them do this. He shook his head and walked over to them.

"Both of you, STOP THIS! I have returned after a 200 year absence just to find my sons trying to kill each other, one with the very sword I gave them and the other with an evil sword created to destroy that sword!" Inutaisho was enraged and he lifted both of his sons by the roughs of their kimonos. Glaring at both of them, they were both scared but only Inuyasha showed it.

"So, apologize to each other."

They said fake apologies to each other and Inutaisho figured it would have to do. He let them both walk on the ground again and he had no idea how happy they were to be alive. Inutaisho just rolled his eyes and decided to talk to both of them and get to know both of them. He was hoping that Sesshomaru had become less power hungry but he was wrong.

Just then, Naraku arrived with the evilest grin ever on his face.

"Naraku, what do you want? Your death wish to come true?" Inuyasha was getting mad. So many things were happening. He had no idea that they were just beginning.

"No, I came here to finish you off once and for all."

"Ha, good luck with that. You're a dead man now!"

Sesshomaru decided to join him and the rest decided to just watch. Inutaisho wanted to see how powerful they both were. The fighting went on for about 15 minutes and nothing happened. Just fighting, fighting and more fighting. No one had gotten hurt or anything like that. It was starting to become sort of dull. That was until Naraku took out a bow and arrow.

It wasn't any ordinary arrow though. It was glowing green and it was visibly cursed. It wasn't sacred like Kagome's, just cursed.

"What's that for? Is it another pathetic attempt to kill us?" Sesshomaru said coldly.

"Oh, this one is only for Inuyasha. You'll have to wait your turn. Maybe next time." Naraku said in a cold mocking voice. That made Sesshomaru angry. No one was going to kill Inuyasha except for himself. That was the one rule Sesshomaru had made in his mind.

Naraku shot the arrow and it was going to be a bulls eye. Naraku was laughing insanely and didn't even notice that Sesshomaru was in the way after. Naraku didn't even know that his only chance to use that curse had been wasted, and it hit Sesshomaru instead.

When Naraku looked hoping to see Inuyasha laying there paralyzed, he saw everyone crowding around Sesshomaru who was in Inuyasha's place.

"NO! HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED HIM! IT WAS MY ONE CHANCE!"

"Sesshomaru, are you okay, Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru!" Inutaisho was now begging his elder son to wake up. His cries were in vein (I just felt like writing that)

Inuyasha was still stunned that Sesshomaru had taken the hit for him. No, he wouldn't let his big brother sacrifice his life for him, sort of like old times when Sesshomaru protected him. No one knew it was because Sesshomaru wanted to kill Inuyasha instead, but there was no denying that that wasn't the whole thing of it.

"Pull the arrow out! It's melting!" Rin was screaming. Kagome tried to get it but it was covered in some sort of acid. No human could touch it, only a demon could and by the time Inutaisho reached for it, it had sunk in. Sesshomaru was dead (well, they thought he was) and Inutaisho's eyes were then glowing red and if Inuyasha had been full dog demon, his would be too.

Inutaisho just transformed into his dog form and was now at Naraku's neck. Naraku was down until he let out the miasma and escaped. Inutaisho was going to avenge Sesshomaru's death, there was no question about it. He just joined everyone else for having a reason to hate Naraku. He had only been alive for 45 minutes!

Everything was depressing. Sesshomaru was thought to be dead, it started to rain and there was thunder. Rin took one last look at her lord until she got really confused.

"Uh, Master Jaken, Lord Sesshomaru's ears are gone."

"His ears can't be gone Rin, the arrow hit him in the chest"

"No, really, their gone."

Jaken decided to take a look and to his amazement, they were.

"Huh? He had ears before and I know that for sure! Where are they?"

That's when Sango realized

"Hey, look at the top of his head! He has…. Dog ears?"

Everyone looked in awe and also noted that his stripes had faded. Soon, his body was beginning to shrink. Sesshomaru had the body of a six year old and was a half-demon. He had dog ears just like Inuyasha and he still had the crescent moon on his forehead. He was small and well, cute. Sesshomaru's eyes had grown (to the regular anime character) in size. His kimono was now way to big for him and he was about half of Inuyasha's size. There was silence until they heard a little kid voice say

"Where am I?"

What were they going to do now?
