Riku Ryuu's Prompt - Luck

~ooO Luck Ooo~

InuYasha scowled as he watched Kagome finish grooming his hated half-brother, tying the dark blue cord into a neat bow. He wanted to tear her away from the bastard. He did not deserve her! He thrust his hands into his sleeves and fumed. The bastard had all the luck! Sure InuYasha had cut off the ice-prick’s arm with Tetsaiga, a sword Sesshoumaru had wanted, but now Sesshoumaru had his arm back, and he had a more powerful sword created from his own power! He was also the eldest son, the pureblood inuyoukai, the Lord of the Western Lands. He was chased by tons of females, both youkai and ningen, and now he had Kagome!

InuYasha hated it. He hated Sesshoumaru. He hated Kagome. She had betrayed him, broken her promise to always stay with him. He ignored the little voice that whispered in his ear that he had once had her, he could have still had her if he had not ignored her and chased after Kikyo, called Kagome weak and useless, taken her affections for granted. It was not luck that landed the miko in Sesshoumaru’s hands but InuYasha’s own foolish choices. He blinked back tears and looked away trying to ignore the hurt and dark urges to hurt them, to steal Kagome away and make her repudiate Sesshoumaru, to submit to InuYasha.

He never knew how lucky he was, to have ignored those dark urges. If he had acted on them he would have died and be forever known as a former-friend-turned-enemy. Inu-youkai do not tolerate infringement upon what they claim and Sesshoumaru was the epitome of inu-youkai. He would have destroyed his half-brother for the trespass.
