Charecters: Inuyasha and Sesshomaru
Summary: Spoilers for Chapter 513-519. After regaining his left arm and a new sword, Sesshomaru contemplates the changes his perspective have changed through Rin, Inuyasha, and humans in general.
THIS REALLY DID HAPPEN IN THE MANGA! NOT IN THE ANIME CUZ THE ANIME ENDED SOO SOON!
It was so wierd for the daiyoukai; this was the first time (since meeting Rin) that he'd ever been injured so horribly. He collasped to his knee's from the pain and the strain it took him just to stand up. He flinched slightly as the wound in his stomach stung him slightly again. There was two fist sized holes through his cuirass that showed through the other side of his armour...
He'd been pierced completely though his abdomen and had nearly been killed.
He, Sesshomaru!
Hell, he even remembered Inuyasha's look of sheer horror at the sight of him! Sesshomaru remembered the grosteque smell of Magatsuhi's body as it tried to absorb him; the scent of Inuyasha's unshed tears as he worked to release him...it was futile. Even though his brother seemed to have matured...it didn't matter.
Though in his heart, for a second; he felt a twinge of pride. He supposed this was the curse of elder brothers; to feel pride when the younger achieved something; to feel pain as they were hurt; joy as they prigressed...and happiness when they looked up to them and admired them...
After all those years of facading...it was beginning to melt...he'd told himself he hated his younger brother; despised his blood...he'd told himself he hated humans, despised thier weaknesses...and that he'd kill both.
Why had he never been able to kill Inuyasha? Why did he protect him from other daiyoukai with his claim? Why did he allow a human girl to travel with him; and save her...?
That didn't matter right now...what did matter was that he was going to die right now...any human(or his brother, for instance) would have gone beserk by now...
But yet, his blood of ice, the pure blood of a youkai. That is what kept him completely in control; and before he knew what was happening, an explosion errupted from his left stump and the pieces of flesh around him were sent flying.
He was freed from the fleshy prison, and only then did he realize the energy enaminating from his stump. 'This feeling...' He told himself in something akin to awe.
Inuyasha was only a couple paces behind him, and thats when they spied a black cloud with an old man riding a three eyed cow. "Totou-sai!" He heard Inuyasha say it as he did.
'If Totou-sai's here...' Sesshomaru thought '...that means...' he thought, referring to his left stump '...this is,' he sent what would be his left arm at his oppenet.
The energy cleared. And there was his left arm wielding a katana of sorts. He heard Inuyasha's gasp and heard Totou-sai state: "Its finally appeared, Sesshomaru. Thats not a memento from your father, thats a sword of your own. Bakusaiga." That moment had made him realize just how much he'd changed.
"All right," Totou-sai's voice snapped him out of his musings ", Bakusaiga's sheath." The elderly man said, handing him the Bakusaiga and its sheath taking it in his hands, slowly observing the sword as he pushed it back into its sheath. He turned to leave, despite Rin's and Jaken's pleas.
"Sesshomaru you," he heard his younger sibling's words ", intend to follow after Magatsuhi, right?" He could sense the worry in his brothers tone.
"Of course.." Sesshomaru said shortly "...he is my prey..."
And with that, a few thoughts, and Jaken and Rin's farewells...he was off.
A/N: ENDING MAJORLY SUCKED! Okay, I know that...anyhows, a review would be apreciated... -hint-hint-
