Chapter 1: Mommy!
D/C: I don't own Inu-Yasha.
Sesshomaru was lying in the forest, eyes closed. Damn them, he thought angrily. Why does it always begin with me lying in a forest, wounded? It never fails. Next thing you know—
He flinched as he caught the telltale scent of flowery perfume. Who will it be this time, he wondered, a feeling of dread settling in his stomach. And how hard will they be to kill?
"Oh, Sess!" The voice was soft, female, and enough to make him cringe. The dog hanyou bent down over him, beautiful blue-green eyes filled with tears. Her thick dark hair fell across her ivory shoulders in gentle waves, and her revealing black clothing showed him that, indeed, she had curves in all the right places.
Don't call me Sess, you filthy little hanyou, he thought angrily. I am the Lord of the Western Lands, and you're just—
"Don't you remember me?" The hanyou pursed her full pink lips. "Oh, Sess!"
How can I remember which one of those idiots you are? Why do you people keep following me? And why the hell am I still in this forest? How did I get injured, anyway?
The hanyou smiled gently. "It's all right, Sess. I'll take care of you, and someday you'll remember me." She gently stroked his hair. What am I, your pet? Sesshomaru wished he could growl, but the same thing that had dumped him in this godforsaken forest was apparently keeping him from doing anything to this idiot, including ripping her slender throat apart.
"Sakura! What are you doing?" A cat hanyou, her purple hair drifting over her equally revealing clothing, approached. "Sess is mine!" Her gold-flecked eyes narrowed.
"He is not, Koneko!"
"You're both wrong!" A third person, this one a human, drew her katana. "I'm his lady, not you two! He chose me to be Rin's mother!"
"He did not! He chose me!" The black-haired inuhanyou—Sakura—took some ofuda out of her extremely tight bodice. "You had better leave, Amethyst—even though I'm a hanyou, I'm special enough to use miko powers since my mother was a priestess!"
"Well, I have shards of the Jewel!" Koneko hissed angrily. "Besides, Fluffy rescued me from my life of servitude and torture to my cruel, unappreciative family to be Rin's mother!"
"I'm Rin's mother!" Sakura said, pouting.
No, you're not, Sesshomaru thought angrily. Rin is completely human, and you are a hanyou. And did that cat call me Fluffy?
The three women's conversation degenerated into a slapping fight until Amethyst (That's not a Japanese name, Sesshomaru snarled) broke a nail. Meanwhile, Rin snuck over to Sesshomaru with Jaken.
"Are they really my mommies, Sesshomaru-sama?" she asked.
"Most definitely not." Sesshomaru was suddenly, magically, totally healed, including his missing left arm. Must have been one of those idiots' ridiculous healing powers, he decided.
"Sess! Don't leave us!" Koneko, Sakura, and Amethyst cried plaintively.
"I'll wait for you, my lord!" Sakura called. "I'll wait for you to remember our happy childhood together!"
"Even though I may never see you again, I still love you!" Koneko sighed. "You saved my life, Sess, and someday I'll save yours!"
"I'm glad I got a chance to melt your heart of ice and show you that humans are your friends," Amethyst said, tears filling her eyes as she clasped her hands together. "I know that you'll come back someday so we can raise Rin together!"
Sesshomaru hesitated, then turned around. The three women sighed happily, realizing that their true love was going to bid them a fond farewell before leaving on his journey. Then Sesshomaru drew his sword.
"Blasted fools," he said as he killed all three. "Come, Rin."
"Sesshomaru-sama is so cool!" Rin said. Then she blinked. "Sesshomaru-sama, did you find me a mommy?"
"Hardly." Sesshomaru sheathed Toukijin. "Mommies aren't necessary." He started to walk away when he heard the telltale snap of a twig under a delicately shod foot. Oh, no…there are more of them? He turned slowly, dreading what he would see.
Ten more women, each beautiful and scantily clad, stood there happily. "Sess!" they shouted, running towards him. Startled, Sesshomaru grabbed Rin and ran until the terrifying women had vanished. Sighing, he sat down—right beside another woman as it turned out. Sesshomaru took one look at her purple eyes and fainted.
Rin looked at Sesshomaru, blinking, then poked him with a stick. His eyes snapped open and he sat up, sighing. "Rin?"
"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama?"
"Is she still there?" Rin nodded. Poor Sesshomaru-sama, she thought as he fainted again. He needs his mommy.
