Chapter One-Had Enough

Sesshomaru walked down an empty sidewalk in the dead of night with heavy rainfall and a suitcase in one hand.

The place he was going to was his last option and if he didn't take he would have nowhere else to go, he growled regretting that he had left his fathers home, but after twelve years of abuse he had finally had enough and decided to live in a home where he had opportunities and safety.

A sneeze escaped from Sesshomaru before he could hold it back and cursed himself for having to leave at night with a giant storm going on, especially since all he had was a white cotton shirt and a pair of jeans; he was grateful when he saw his destination come into view with several lights on, when he made his way to the porch he gave a sigh before pressing the button to ring to doorbell.

InuYasha looked up from his homework sprawled on the kitchen table when he heard the doorbell echo all around the room, he got up to answer the door but his mother beat him to it.

When Izayoi opened the door, both of them nearly had a heart attack when they saw an eighteen-year-old, silver-haired demon standing on the welcome mat with small scratches and faint bruises scattered across his arms and face.

"Who the hell are you?" InuYasha growled, jumping up from his chair and flexing his claws, prepared to attack.

"InuYasha that's enough" Izayoi said in a hushed voice, she brought her attention back over to Sesshomaru and asked in a calm voice, "What are you doing here?"

He was silent for a moment, wishing that he had never gone here, but he knew that this was his last resort and he was smart enough to not pass it up, "I've had enough"

Izayoi gave a small nod and opened the door wider to let him in; "There's a spare room upstairs, make yourself at home" Sesshomaru stepped inside, Goosebumps crawling over his skin at the sudden warmth, he was about to make his way up the stairs when a wide-eyed InuYasha blocked his path and stared at him hard, "Who are you to just barge into my house like this and ask for a place to stay? I don't even know who the hell you are" Sesshomaru ignored him and gently pushed him aside, "I don't blame you for not remembering, brother" InuYasha was about to lunge at the unfamiliar demon but was stopped when a hand grasped him firmly on the shoulder, he turned around and saw that it was his mother who was looking at him with stern eyes, "We'll talk about all of this tomorrow, now, put away your stuff and get to bed"

InuYasha did what he was told except go to his bed upstairs, instead he fell asleep on the couch, not daring to go anywhere near the spare room.

Sesshomaru threw the tattered suitcase on the bouncy bed and sat down on a chair nestled in front of a desk with a large mirror hooked on the wall in front of him. He sighed and held his head in his left hand and closed his eyes to concentrate on what had all happened but he couldn't think back on it for long because he would immediately get angry at himself for fighting back when his father's behavior turned from drunk mode to abuse mode.

Sesshomaru had enough of reality and fell into a fitful sleep.

He hated the pain of the heavy fists slamming hard onto his small body. He was only six years old and he was already feeling pain that no one should have to endure. He wanted to escape from the pain that was increasing by the second but invisible chains held him fast and was unable to move. All he could do was cry out in agony but that only led to more slamming. He felt the sharp pain of his ribs cracking and he bit his tongue to stop from screaming in pain, he learnt that if he cried he would be punished. The pounding began to increase until it was unbearable, he saw red was beginning to invade his vision until everything was a dark crimson, he felt his entire body being shaken violently, he wanted it all to stop and be over. He felt something painfully cold and he shot his eyes open only to be greeted by a blinding white light.

Sesshomaru hissed at the bright sun searing his pupils and the coldness that washed over him, he lashed out his claws in shear confusion and reflex and heard a small yelp at the same time he hit something. He let his vision adjust to the light around him and saw that he had accidentally struck InuYasha good on the same arm that was holding an ice cube tray; he looked up at his face and saw fear flash in his eyes. Sesshomaru also cared to notice Izayoi looking at him with the same frightened expression.

"See what I mean mom? Letting him in this house is like letting a rabid dog run around loose" InuYasha said, his voice slightly shaky after what had happened.

Sesshomaru, who was still darting his wide eyes from one area to the other, let his head fall into his crossed arms lying on the desk. He felt deep grooves in the wood and narrowed his eyes to see dozens of scratch marks sprawled all around him.

"InuYasha go get ready for school" Izayoi whispered, only waiting until her son left the room until stepping closer to Sesshomaru, who instinctively flinched when she got closer.

"What happened? You were lashing out and muttering 'Sorry' over and over again" He flicked his only visible eye towards her, the last thing he wanted to do was explain what happened in the same nightmare he had had countless times before, but for some reason this dream was more vivid than all of the others. "Nothing happened"

Izayoi smirked not believing a single thing he said, "InuYasha was shaking you so hardto try and wake you up that you almost fell out of the chair, it was only until he doused you with ice cubes did youwake up as scared as an ambushed rabbit"She was silent for a moment before just shaking her head.

"Did he abuse you so bad you are waiting to be punished for something you didn't mean to do?" Izayoi said with disgust in her voice, she snorted, making Sesshomaru flinch; she saw that even the slightest move was enough to make him freeze in utter fear of being hurt, she felt sympathy wash over her and she wrapped her arms around him in a light hug, this time not being surprised when he stiffened and stayed statue still. She was hoping that he would loosed his board-like back but it never came, she sighed and gave up for now, releasing him from her embrace and headed towards the door, "Feel free to come out when you are ready" with that she slowly closed the door behind her, the slight click making Sesshomaru close his eyes.

He kept them shut for a minute until he was almost sure that nothing was going to hit him. He gritted his teeth together, wishing that he could stop being so insecure of his surroundings, but he knew that he would probably never feel safe in this world again.
