InuYasha saves his brothers human ward, Rin; but at a terrible price. In desperation, he confides in deepest, darkest secrets to the young girl so resembling his Kagome, who resembles Kikyo...
The half-demon clutched at his aching side, not even bothering to acknowledge the small human that was clinging to his hitoe, muttering his brothers name.
"Lord Sesshomaru…."
He knew that it would only be a matter of time before he collapsed, then another matter of time before his dearest brother got there to save a human. He snorted and bit back a bitter laugh.
What a hypocrite.
After all those times his dearest elder brother had told him to hate humans, to despise their weakness and hate his human half; Sesshomaru goes and adopts a young mortal girl as his pup and ward.
What a fuckin hypocrite.
"Rin, was that your name?" He asked, his voice hoarse to his own canine ears, slightly drooping on top of his silver head. The girl nodded her attention now on said ears and her bemused gaze to his eyes.
"Your eyes are like Lord Sesshomaru's, Lord InuYasha," then she sheepishly looked away ", I guess it's to be expected, you are brothers after all…"
InuYasha chuckled, not paying any mind to the blood that dribbled down his chin. "Want to know something, kid?" He asked, at her nod, he sighed. "I envy you." At her curious gaze, he finished his thought "You have things I've always wanted."
"Like what?" Rin asked, looking up at the half-demon with questioning eyes. "I will share with you, if I can!" She announced.
InuYasha chuckled again, before breaking into a serious fit of coughs, he heard Rin's exclamation, and waved away her attempts to help.
"Keh, I kind of wish you could share it…" InuYasha whispered wistfully. "You have my elder brothers love…"
"Huh?"
"I remember the first time I met him," InuYasha said sardonically ", he was like an angel sent down to rescue me from the hellish life I was stuck with…" He coughed up more blood.
Rin understood, Lord Sesshomaru had been her angel, and still was…
"…to stick me in another hellish life…" InuYasha said ", he gave me protection, but I had to find my own food, I had to find my own shelter, I never got to touch his tail like you have, kid…he never let me hold his hand when I was little, like you get to, kid…"
What? Rin was awed, how Lord Sesshomaru could be so cruel, it had to be a misunderstanding! She didn't understand! What…this…Lord InuYasha had to be lying….but…
"He loves you, cares for you, went as far to adopt you as his pup…" InuYasha continued, bitterness ringing from every word "…and you're a human, a complete stranger…two things he detests…"
InuYasha coughed, and Rin just finally became aware of the warm thick substance covering her fingers. Blood.
"Lord InuYasha, you're hurt!" She exclaimed.
InuYasha knew he didn't have too much time left.
"…yet, he hated me, detested me, and tried to kill me…although I'm his brother. He hated me for being half of what you are…for being half-human…" InuYasha finished; he released Rin and kneeled over, coughing up yet more blood.
"Lord InuYasha?" Her small voice piped in his ears, her worried brown orbs looking at him innocently, surprise evident and a hint of worry and desperation when she saw his wound. "Please don't die! You saved me!"
The wound which was slowing killing the half-dog stretched from his left hip to his right shoulder, across the chest…and deep. He wiped the blood away from the side of his mouth.
"Kid. Can you do me a favor…can you tell Kagome that I love her and ask her to lay Kikyou to rest?" InuYasha asked, his vision beginning to get blurry, his limbs weighing like lead…"And Shippo that he was the little brother I never had…Sango and Miroku to live a happy life…" His voice cracked "…tell them I love them more than my own life…" he turned his head "…oh yeah, and to Sesshomaru…could ya tell him I'm sorry for being such a huge disappointment to him?"
"No! Tell them yourself, I don't want another family member to die!" Rin cried.
"What?"
"You're Lord Sesshomaru's younger brother, you saved me, and you're like family!" Rin cried ", Lord Sesshomaru surely doesn't hate you…please don't die."
How naïve the kid was.
"Kid…please tell them…" He couldn't see, breathing was difficult, his head was spinning…."Please, Rin…." He begged.
"I will…" Rin sniffled. "But please don't die!"
InuYasha's cocky smirk appeared, his breathing stilled.
Rin let out a wail.
InuYasha was no more.
A/N: Gaaah! Don't kill me!
