I Don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters
The Truth Behind The Truth
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had never gotten along, but that's about to change, when they discover that every reason they had to hate each other was not real, and a very special person comes into their lives. What would happen between the two brothers? Will Inuyasha be mature enough to accept his destiny? Will Sesshomaru's heart be softened by love (not Rin's).
Chapter 1: Auto analysis
After Naraku has been killed, and there is apparently nothing else for Lord Sesshomaru to entertain himself with, he's just sitting there, under a tree, in the beautiful garden of his magnificent castle, BORED.
His mind wanders to earlier years, when he was younger and happier, and when his father was still with him. He still can' bring himself to believe his father died, he seemed so strong, so invincible. How could that have happened? Had it been his fault, was he the one to blame for not being with him when he fought Ryukotsusei? Was he to blame for doing everything he could to stop his father from so recklessly giving his life away just to save that stupid little half breed and his worthless human mother? Why on earth had his father given his life to save Inuyasha's?
He had never been able to bring himself to understand how his father, the most powerful of all demons, could have loved a human. Even less, how could he have risked his life to save her and their son (and lost it, as a matter of fact). Couldn't he? After all, he himself had risked his life more than once to save a certain human orphan, who, for some reason, never feared him, and just openly loved him. Will he be able to understand his father through these feelings? Was he becoming soft? Or was he just becoming more like him?
As these questions flooded his head, he smelt the little girl who was giving him so much to think about, getting closer.
Rin sat beside him leaning against the tree, quietly, just being there with him. She never asked anything from him, she enjoyed his company, and much to his own disbelief, he enjoyed hers, Sesshomaru, the cold and heartless demon lord, enjoyed the refreshing company of a little human girl who seemed to always have something to smile about.
He looked down at the child he had practically adopted, she looked up at the demon who had filled the void her family's death had left in her heart. Rin smiled to Sesshomaru, for some reason he felt so well each time she did that, maybe because his status didn't allow him the delicious freedom of smiling.
Jaken came running to take the girl back to her studies, his Lord Sesshomaru had enough to worry about to have her bothering him.
Alone again, Sesshomaru sinks in his thoughts, his father; he did understand him, now that he had someone to protect, someone to care for. Even when she was indeed his weakness, the suffocating silence and the loneliness his life had been submerged in since his father died were much worse. This young girl filled his empty life.
And yet, the loneliness was still there, he felt a void on his soul. But he knew not what it meant.
His mind drifted again to the times his father was with him, but this time, to his childhood, when he could not sleep and his father told him a story that, for some reason, he never forgot. Sesshomaru could remember each and every word of the legend, just as his father had told him.
