Sesshomaru's Faithful Encounter
Chapter One Insueka the Half-breed
Well this starts off with you seeing Sesshomaru and gang walking through the night covered woods. Rin was skipping around happily. Jaken was telling her to stop before she hurts herself. She just ignored him. Sesshomaru was walking silently not telling Jaken to be quite and leave Rin be. Rin was still skipping happily but tripped over a tree trunk and landed on her face. Sesshomaru looked up and heard someone crying.
"I told you to stop." Jaken said laughing.
"But it was not me crying." Rin looked around and saw a boy on the corner of her eye; he looked a little older than she was, he was the one crying. They all went over to see why the boy was crying. Then walking more into the clearing of the woods and they saw a dead woman lying on the ground with her blood all over the place where she lied.
The boy was crying: "Sister why did you leave me behind. I need you now that father is gone and so is mother. Who will take care of me and the inn?" He was covered with in her blood. Rin walked over.
"What happened?"
"My sister, Insueka was trying to protect me from wolfs that passed through the town about a mile away from our inn. Then they tried to kill us but sister knew that the night of the new moon was the night where she changed into a human so she tried really hard to get rid of them all. But they kept coming."
"Oh so she risked her life to save yours?" Rin asked in a concerned tone.
"Yes, she told me that I have to live."
Rin turned to Sesshomaru. "Lord Sesshomaru, could we help someone just this once please." Rin begged.
"OK but only this once."
"Boy, don't worry, Lord Sesshomaru is going to take out his sword and kill the demons trying to take her life." Rin said before the boy started to worry.
"My name is Shinta and don't ever call me boy." Shinta said backing away from the approaching Sesshomaru. He sliced the demons in half then Insueka started to breathe again. The happy and wide-eyed Shinta came running to help his sister to her feet. She looked around then looked at Sesshomaru.
"Shinta is this man who that saved my life?" Her voice sounded to be that of angels.
"Yes and his name is Lord Sesshomaru."
"Thank you Sir Sesshomaru........." She bowed her head then fell forward.
"Insueka?!" Shinta yelled.
"It is alright she just fainted. Point me out the whereabouts of your inn." Sesshomaru said picking up the fainted Insueka.
"Yes, it is this way." Shinta said leading the way.
"But how could this be true Lord Sesshomaru helping another human. How..........very kind." Jaken said to himself then running to catch up with the others.
After awhile walking they came up to a house with a lake surrounding it. They all crossed a bridge and then Shinta went to the kitchen with Rin and Jaken following him. Then Insueka woke up but she kept her eyes a little closed.
"How are you feeling?" Sesshomaru asked while looking down at her and saw that she awoke. She was little shocked but relaxed.
"Fine, thank you. Are you thinking of staying sense you and your friends are here? You and your friends can stay for free." She said before he said anything.
"I guess sense we are already here."
"I didn't thank you properly about you saving me. This is the only way I could really repay you for your kindness and..." She stopped when he told her to be quite. She could sense something coming, a demon. Sesshomaru had put her to her feet.
"What is it Lord Sesshomaru?"
"I don't know, wait here and I will check it out." Sesshomaru ran off to the nearby woods. Insueka heard Sesshomaru and another guy fighting. She ran to see who it was.
"Shinto?" the guys looked and saw Insueka standing not far from them.
"Insueka. How have you been little sister?"
"Shinto! Welcome home!" She ran into her older brother's arms.
"So I guess you have been fine."
"I have until today. Shinta and I were running from a pack of wolf demons and I saved Shinta's life but lost mine."
"So you're a ghost!" He backed away.
"No silly this man here saved my life. Oh yeah Lord Sesshomaru this is my older brother Shinto and Shinto this is Lord Sesshomaru." Insueka smiled. The guys shook each other's hand then backed away.
"How about we all go in, it's about to rain. I will start dinner." She ran to the bridge. Then waving telling them to hurry up. "Shinta! Shinto is here!" Shinta came running out of the kitchen and saw Shinto and ran up to hug him. Then the rain started to pour.
"Big brother you have to tell me your story about how you have been living for these five years." Shinta said as his sister quickly ran into a room and changed.
"Ok but I will at dinner." Then Insueka came running out of the room and into the kitchen. Shinta ran to help Insueka with the trays.
"Shinta show everyone to their rooms. And change your clothes they are covered in blood."
"Alright." By the time Insueka came to the got five trays Shinto came in asking if she needed help.
"No I am alright you should relax because of your journey could have made you tried. So I will do all the work."
"You are worried that father is dead right?"
She paused then continued to the rooms. Shinta helped along the way giving Rin, Jaken and Shinto their food then went to get his. Insueka walked into Sesshomaru's room. "Sorry it took so long. I hope you like it." She put the tray down then headed for then door but the ground was slippery she screamed as she fell but Sesshomaru caught her. They looked into each other's eyes and you could tell by the look in their eyes that it was love at first sight. But considering that Sesshomaru was not the type that fell in love that quick or doesn't seem to care. She got to her knees and while Sesshomaru was eating they started to talk.
"So you are a half breed?" Sesshomaru asked pushing his empty tray aside.
"Yes, I am a daughter of a human woman and a demon man. Shinta is a human child and a free spirited one. And my brother Shinto is a demon but he is kind hearted not like most of the demons like him."
"Not like me." Sesshomaru said with deep thought.
"I didn't mean it like that. I must pick up the trays and sleep, I am a little tried." Sesshomaru nodded. She got his tray then smiled on her way out.
Later that night after the rain stopped Sesshomaru went outside due to he could not really sleep. Then at the bridge he saw Insueka, she looked as if she was thinking. He walked over to her.
"So you couldn't sleep?" Sesshomaru said coming up behind her. She jumped almost out of her shoes.
"Lord Sesshomaru! God you scared the living lights of me!" Insueka said taking a deep breath.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. So you couldn't sleep?"
"Yes, I was thinking of my past."
"What about your past?"
"My mother and father. I was remembering how we use to live in this inn. My mother would cook, my father buying the supplies, Shinto helping the elderly, Shinta was a baby and was carried on mother's back and then me I helped cleaning the room after a customer leaves the inn."
"I can tell by the look in your eyes you have been hurt a lot."
"Yes, you saw right though to my heart. My mother was the only one that could help my father, sense he was a ruthless demon. But when my mother died of an illness my father became a ruthless demon once more. They say about fifty years ago he put a wind tunnel within someone's right hand. And then killed a priestess in order to get the jewel of four souls." Insueka had a tear in her eyes. "But when he met my mother he was different all those that said he was evil said that he changed by an inn keeper's daughter's heart. One day before he left the inn my mother said to him 'That for every child born there is someone that will love the person with all their heart and will make sure that he or she is safe. The person born maybe a ruthless demon, human, or even half breed but there is always someone that person will love and someone to love him or her back.'" Sesshomaru thought to himself.
"There is someone who will love me?" Sesshomaru was quite for a while.
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Huh? Oh sorry I was thinking a bit."
"Sorry if what I said made you start thinking. But on the other hand maybe you needed to think for a while." Insueka laughed. It took sometime for that to sink into Sesshomaru's mind. But as soon as he got what she was saying he started to laugh too.
Not to far away Jaken was listening to the conversation. "How amazing Lord Sesshomaru laughing. Now that is a new one and him apologizing. Maybe what the inn keeper said to him maybe that softened his cold heart." Jaken was pleased to see Sesshomaru happy for even a moment. Rin was behind Jaken and so was Shinta.
"So Lord Sesshomaru is not the one that is happy all the time?"
"Yeah this is the first time I have seen him this happy." Rin smiled at the thought that Sesshomaru was happy.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Sesshomaru and Insueka. They were still laughing. "I haven't laughed like that in year's sense the death of my mother." Insueka fell quite. Sesshomaru was tempting to hold her and tell her to look toward the future and don't dwell in the past but he stayed there silent. "I can tell that you have never laughed like that not even when you were a child. Sad but so are some other stories of half-breeds and demons. So for once in a while whenever I see you again I want you to try smiling for once. Though you may have a hard past always look forward and don't ever dwell in the past like I do." Sesshomaru was shocked at first but then he nodded.
"Because the reason you dwell in the past is because your parents?"
"Yes, I was happy then. I worry for my father. So many demons or humans could be after his life." But then she grabbed her chest where her heart was, then fell to the ground.
"Sister!" Shinta yelled through the background. Shinto came running out of his room and saw Insueka on the ground. Sesshomaru picked her up in ran her into her room. Shinta, Shinto, and Rin came running into the room after her.
"Damn it I knew this was going to happen sooner or later." Shinto said as he punched the ground.
"Sister please you have to be ok. Lord Sesshomaru, please if you could wait for us outside." Sesshomaru walked out and Jaken and Rin were waiting for him.
"Lord Sesshomaru is she going to be ok?" Rin asked sadly.
"I don't know." Sesshomaru was over hearing what Shinta and Shinto were saying.
"Brother is she going to live through this one?"
"I don't know but that is why I returned home. And the bad thing is that it always happens when she is in her human form. Damn! We can't do anything about." Insueka was lying on her bed breathing heavily.
"But she can't die Lord Sesshomaru seems to care a lot for her. Shinto, I was wondering could true love help Insueka's condition."
"I really don't know but it could help it but not get rid of it. I wish that my sister wouldn't have to go through this kind of pain." Shinto opened the door and Sesshomaru was right there. "You over heard us didn't you?"
"I didn't mean to."
"I bet you are confused." Sesshomaru nodded. "Well my sister is under the curse of the Soykon jewel. Soykon is the sister of the Shikon jewel of four souls but Soykon is the jewel of ten souls. It is passed from mother to first-born daughter and it stays within her heart until her first daughter is born. My mother had a lot of problems of illness, chest pains, and eventually she became to lose sight, hearing, and language. And it can eventually kill the host. I fear because my sister has been hurt and every night it comes to her she is in her human form. And the damn thing is that there is nothing we can do to help her."
"I was wondering, does it make her more human."
"Yes, I don't what to ask how you know that but yes it steals all her demon powers and in a few months she will be human and will die. Because once she is human she will not be able to fight the jewel." Shinta was crying and Shinto went over and went to hold him.
"So the only way she is cured is if she has a daughter?" Rin said while walking into her room.
"No, she will never see her daughter in any pain. Mother cried every time that happened to her. Insueka wants to lift the curse. And the rumor is that she would need to get the jewel out of her body then cure the jewel to where it will never harm a person again."
"But it seems that it could be extremely difficult."
"Yes, it is because the jewel lies with in her heart. I need to go to Lady Keade's. She should know what to do."
"Brother don't bother Lady Keade, we have bothered her enough." Insueka said trying to sit up.
"Sister you shouldn't be up." Shinta said getting up to his knees.
"Don't worry about me I am ok." She got to her feet but fell and Sesshomaru quickly caught her.
"You should rest you're still weak." Sesshomaru said kindly.
"I am fine, so don't worry this happens all the time. I am use to it." Insueka got back up but fell again. "I guess you are right." Sesshomaru put her back in her bed. Then he walked out of the room.
"Sesshomaru...thank you for helping her." Shinto said stubbornly. He nodded. Everyone else went to their room and fell asleep that night.
----------------------------------------------------
Then morning came along and Insueka was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. She came down the halls of the rooms and was caring the breakfast trays with her. She gave Rin, Jaken, and Shinta their breakfast then she came to Shinto's room. "Shinto, wake up sleepy head." She waited for a minute. "Shinto, I am coming in!" she waited for a little, then opened the door he was still asleep. She went over and kicked him.
He groaned "What do you want? I was sleeping well." Shinto was rubbing his eyes.
"Here is your food." She dropped it but he rushed over to catch it all. She walked out.
"She has not changed a bit." He laughed then his water fell on his head.
"He is still lazy." She said walking up to Sesshomaru's room. "Lord Sesshomaru, are you awake?"
"Insueka?"
"Yeah, I have your breakfast. Could I come in?" Insueka heard Sesshomaru moving about. Then he opened the door. He looked at her and saw her long light blue hair and dark blue eyes. When he saw her last night she had black hair and brown eyes. "What are you looking at?" Insueka laughed.
"Nothing and come in." Insueka entered the room, he had folded the blankets and the room was clean.
"Oh yeah here is your food." She had put the tray down and sat close to him. "So Shinto told you about my curse, did he not?"
"Yes, he did."
"Did he also tell you that I will not have a child until I get rid of the curse?" Insueka said sadly.
"Yeah, your story is some what sad. Not saying that it is funny but..."
"I know Lord Sesshomaru. Don't think that had hurt my feelings. I understand that you don't really have a huge heart." She put her hand over her mouth after she said that. Sesshomaru seemed a little hurt. "I am sorry it just that when I become half demon I usually stick my foot in my mouth." She got up to her feet and walked out of his room. "Lord Sesshomaru, I was wondering are you going to be leaving soon."
"Yes, I have to find my brother." She ran out.
-----------------------------------------------------
Shinto found Insueka at the bridge crying. "Insueka you know that he can't stay here forever."
"Shinto. Oh I didn't see you coming." She said as she wiped her eyes. Sesshomaru saw her and her brother talking. But he saw the tears start to flow from her eyes. "I know brother but...I am a little embarrassed."
"You know that you and I told each other everything sense we little."
"Ok well I...feel as if.... I...I.... am in...love." She was red as a cherry.
"Little sister, my little sister is in love." Shinto said loudly and stupidly.
"Shut up Shinto before he hears you." She shouted.
"Well your back to your old self and that's good." He kissed her forehead.
"You know at times you can be extremely cruel." She said sticking her tongue out.
"Well isn't that why brothers are for."
"I thought it was the annoyances, they will never shut up, and the teasing."
"So are you saying that Shinta is annoying, will never shut up, and loves to tease you?"
"No Shinta is kind hearted, smart, and a heck of a lot more responsible than his stupid idol."
"Ok I understand that I am not smart or responsible but I am kind hearted." Insueka started to laugh. "What was it something I said?" she kept laughing. "What? You're really starting to tick me off!"
"That's your problem you have attitude."
"I don't have a really bad temper like you do."
"This conversation is not about me!"
"It was at the beginning when you told me that you are in love with Sesshomaru."
"It is Lord Sesshomaru." Insueka said quietly.
"Ah. So you are that much in love with him to where you correct me when I say Sesshomaru."
"He saved my life so the least I could do is called him Lord Sesshomaru!"
"Ah! But you did correct me when I said Sesshomaru."
"Shut up! I am going into town to buy supplies!" She stomped away. Shinto started to laugh and fell to the ground dieing laughing. Shinta ran over and hit him in the back of the head.
"That was just plain mean Shinto!" Shinta screamed in his ear, Shinto jumped up alarmed.
"Hey she laughed at me so why couldn't I laugh at her."
"I didn't mean that stupid! I meant that was mean when you were saying Lord Sesshomaru's name wrong and teasing sister that she is in love with him!"
"And?"
"AND! IT IS QUITE NICE THAT SHE IS IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE AFTER ALL THE PAIN SHE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH! AND ALL YOU DO IS MAKE FUN OF HER! I AM ASAMED TO CALL YOU BROTHER! JERK!" Shinta kicked him in the shin.
"Ouch! That hurt! But you are right it is nice to know that she is in love after mother's death and father disappears."
"You don't know."
"Don't know what?"
"Insueka fell in love with a demon about three years ago. But the villagers hated him, so one day he went into town with Insueka and brought supplies. But when they were exiting the village, an old man asked him to come with him and help him carry a big bag of rice. So he followed the old man to a corner but the villagers were there equipped with spears, swords, and other things. He couldn't do anything but yell out 'Insueka I love you and I always will.' They killed him. Insueka heard it so she ran to find him dead and the villagers had their weapons covered in his blood. She hated them because they killed him because he was different and she didn't want to fall in love. Even to this day she is scared to actually fall in love with a demon because of what happened to him."
"So that is why she was crying. She was scared that if she got to close to Sesshomaru, she will lose him."
"Yeah she wasn't crying because he was leaving it was because of what you just said." Sesshomaru was shocked to hear Insueka's sad and lonely past.
---------------------------------------------------------
Well Insueka had her bag and was traveling to town. She went to the shops and bought everything she needed. She was on her way home until she heard some of the villagers talking. She stopped to hear what they all were talking about. "We have to kill the girl." said a villager.
"Yes, I know but..." said the elder of the village.
"But what elder if she were to find out that her mother death was because of us she will kill us."
"But she will not know and besides we killed Jiro and she did want revenge."
"But Jiro was someone not that close to Lady Insueka. She looked up to her mother."
"So my mother's death was because of you all? And you say that Lord Jiro was not that close to me! I loved him and I loved mother very much! How dare you say that?" Insueka could not take anymore of their evilness.
"Lady Insueka!"
"So my mother died because of you all!"
"Lady Insueka the thing was your father."
"What about my Father!?"
"He was a demon..."
"What about my father being a demon?!" She said before they could finish their sentence. She could not take anymore of the hardship that they were giving her.
"He is a demon and he would kill all the villagers."
"He was fine when he met my mother. He was never as ruthless as he was before he met my mother."
"But we hate demons and half-breeds. Because we were betrayed by a demon then a half-breed. So the only way to get rid of them is to kill them." (yeah, u don't have to tell me it sucks but please it gets better)
She ran home Shinto was waiting for her. He saw that she was crying. He ran over and caught her in his arms.
"Insueka what is wrong?"
"The villagers are going to kill me for a stupid cause."
"And what cause it that?"
"Is because I am a half breed."
"Insueka go with Lord Sesshomaru. Shinta and I will take care of the inn."
"But I want you and Shinta to come with me. Please Shinto."
"But then who will take care of the inn?"
"Mother's sister."
"Aunt Sazuka?"
"Yes. You know she said if we need her help in any way come to her."
"Ok."
The whole inn was quite. Everyone ate his or her lunch and Sesshomaru and his gang was getting ready to leave. "Lord Sesshomaru?"
He turned and saw Insueka. "Yes, what is it?"
"I wish to go with you on your travels and if it is alright Shinto and Shinta wish to come along."
"You will leave this place where you have lived for so long?"
"Yes, I wish to be rid of my painful curse. I am not saying that I don't trust in my brother's strength, it is that..."
"It is alright you may come."
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." She bowed her head and ran to her brothers. They were talking for a bit. Shinta looked at Lord Sesshomaru with his eyes glittering. Insueka went to her room and retrieved a sword, Shinta and Shinto stayed where they were. "Lord Sesshomaru we are ready to go if you are but I have to stop by the village." Sesshomaru nodded.
They all headed to the village then walked until they came to a big dojo. "Could you all stay here until I finish talking with my aunt?" Everyone nodded then after a while she came out with a woman that look like she was in her late thirties and early forty's.
"Ah Shinto and Shinta you two have no clue how happy I am to see you two after a long time."
"Yes, Aunt Sazuka we are also happy to see you too." They bowed.
"But we shall all talk after your journey. Please take care of Insueka." She looked at Sesshomaru. He did a some what of a nod.
"We will tell you all about our journey when we come back." Insueka smiled. Then the niece and nephews waved good-bye to their aunt then was on their way again.
It was turning night soon. "Brother I forgot where is Kila?"
"Well she is here if you call her."
"KILA!" then all of a sudden a small cat like thing came from the air and she had to tails. She looks like Kilala. "Oh Kila I missed you so much." Insueka hugged the little cat. It meowed just like Kilala does.
"So Sesshomaru do you really have any clue on your brother's wear a bouts?" Shinto asked looking at Sesshomaru.
"No I don't, he is after a man named Naraku." Shinto choked and Insueka fainted. Shinto caught her. "Was it something I said?"
"No, it is just that she is quite tired of walking." Shinto put his sister on his back and was carrying her.
"I own a little bit of land up ahead she should rest there."
"Kila take Rin, Jaken, and Shinta to Sesshomaru's place. I think Jaken will tell you where to go. Listen to him." It meowed then transformed just like Kilala does. (Well let me put it this way it does everything like Kilala. So I wouldn't have to confuse my reader and myself) Shinta and Rin jumped on her back. Kila was starting to leave.
"WAIT FOR ME!" Jaken yelled. Then he jumped on Kila before she jumped into the sky.
"We should get going." Sesshomaru said running into the woods. Shinto ran after him. They were running for a little then stop at a gate of a huge house.
"You call this small!"
"I never said that it was small but never mind that."
"Lord Sesshomaru welcome back." Said a guard who was at the front gate.
"Is Rin, Jaken and a human boy inside?"
"Yes sir, the human boy is in a room on the west wing."
"Thank you." Sesshomaru entered but stopped because he heard Shinto yelling.
"We only allow the Lord Demons and demonness to enter."
"He is with me. Him and his sister."
The guard could not ague or Sesshomaru could replace him. "Yes sir. Forgive me sir." He bowed. Shinto ran in before he changed his mind.
"Wow! This place is even bigger inside." Shinto thought. He looked around and saw demons, maidens, and a lot of rooms. But there were four places one to the north, south, east, and west. Sesshomaru was walking to the west housing. Shinto ran to catch up with him.
"Jaken!" the toad came running out of a room and Kila jumped down from the roof.
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru."
"Show Shinto to Insueka's room then show him to his room."
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru."
"Hey Sesshomaru what the heck are you doing to do?"
"Well I am going to catch up with some work sense I am here." Shinto walked off to catch up with Jaken.
"Shinto, Lady Insueka's room is right here." Jaken opened the door and Shinto looked around amazed. "And your room is right next door." Jaken walked out of the room.
"What if I left Insueka and Shinta here, they will well taken care of? I could search for a way to get the jewel out of Insueka's body." He thought to himself. He didn't notice that Insueka was awake.
"Why can't Shinta and I come with you?" Insueka seemed hurt.
"What you read my mind? Oh yeah you were born with the power."
"Yeah, but you didn't answer my question!" She jumped out of his arms.
"Here you and Shinta will be well taken care of."
"Shinto, I don't care, you said that once you returned you would never leave me and Shinta again."
"Well damn it I do care for your safety. And..." he didn't know what else to say.
"Ok do as you wish but you will have to explain it all to Shinta." Insueka was trying to hold back the tears.
"I will not go."
"Thank you Shinto." Insueka smiled.
"So this Inuyasha is after father."
"Shut up Shinto. I don't want Sesshomaru to know."
"But..."
"But nothing promise me that you not breathe a word about this to Shinta or Sesshomaru." He nodded. "Well you how one of my demon powers is that I could look in to others past."
"Yeah what of it."
"Well, I wasn't being nosey but a memory of Lord Sesshomaru and Naraku agreeing to be comrades. Naraku was helping Lord Sesshomaru by giving him a human arm with a shard of the shikon jewel in bedded in it. With that human arm he could hold his brother Inuyasha's sword."
"So they are buddies."
"No not really. After the battle with Inuyasha Lord Sesshomaru had to discard the arm before it burned him alive. Then find Naraku and Jaken said 'you gave Lord Sesshomaru the arm in hoping that it burn him alive.' Naraku said no. Then Lord Sesshomaru attacks Naraku and that is how I think started the fight between Naraku and Lord Sesshomaru."
"Oh. I am tried so see ya in the morning."
"Night." She smiled while he exited her room. She got up and went to a window and looked up at the stars. "Father I hope that you are safe." Then she got to her room door and opened it.
"Lady Insueka you are awake."
"Jaken."
"Yes."
"Where is Lord Sesshomaru I need to speak with him?"
"I will show you." She followed the toad and looked around.
"Wow. It is like a castle." Then she saw a room with the door a little opened. Jaken was about to speak. She whispered "Don't, thank you." The toad went away. She knocked on the door.
"Who is it!?" Sesshomaru was mad at the demon.
"It is only me, Insueka."
"Come in." She opened the door to find out that the room he was in was a library and she saw him looking up from his book, she stained her eyes to see what name of the book. But he knew what she was trying to do and quickly put the book down.
"By the way you look, you don't seem like to worm book type." She laughed.
"I was only trying to catch up with work." Insueka looked at to books.
"There are a lot of books they are all in different categories...." Her voice trailed as she saw a book and picked it up. Sesshomaru ran over and caught her hand.
"What are you doing in here?" Insueka stared at his hand on hers.
"I came to talk to you." She said in a low tone.
"Don't touch the books."
"Ok. Ah Lord Sesshomaru?"
"What?"
"Your hand." He looked and saw his hand on hers. He quickly took it off.
"So why did you come to talk to me?" He said turning his back and moving to another bookcase.
"I want to know about Inuyasha and his grudge against Naraku."
"What?" One of his eyebrows rose.
"Well I want to know why Inuyasha has a grudge against Naraku." She repeated herself.
"NO ONE SAYS THE NAME INUYASHA IN THIS CASTLE!" Sesshomaru yelled.
"Sorry, how was I suppose to know that?" she was little shocked at Sesshomaru's temper. But she had to remember that demons do get mad quick.
"Forgive me I didn't mean to yell." Sesshomaru said in a kind tone that no one has ever heard.
"Huh? Oh that is alright." She was shocked that a demon such as Sesshomaru could have a kind heart at times. 'So this is what mother meant.' She thought.
"Inuyasha and I, we do not get along that well."
"I understand a life or fights between a half breed and a demon. You have to remember that I am a half-breed and Shinto is a demon. But still through any fight Shinto and I find a way to forgive each other. And one day you and Inuyasha should forgive one another and become good friends." Sesshomaru thought for a minute.
"Inuyasha and I forgiving one another, how silly is that?" He thought.
"Is that too hard to forgive him? Because just a second ago you ask for forgiveness."
"How do you know what I was thinking?" Insueka put her hand over her mouth.
"Sorry." She said through her covered mouth.
"You can read minds."
"It only happens when I am wondering what the other person is saying."
"You could take your hand off your mouth."
"I know."
"Then why don't you remove her hand from your mouth." She shook her head. He reached out and took her hand off her mouth. "There now you can talk normally." She looked up at her golden yellow eyes. And he looked down at her dark blue eyes.
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Yes."
"I want to know something."
"What?"
"Can a cold hearted demon fall in love?"
"Yes, you said it yourself. For every child born there is someone that will love the person with all his or her heart and will make sure that he or she is safe. The person born maybe a ruthless demon, human, or even half-breed but there is always someone that person will love and someone to love him or her back. Or something like what you said."
"Lord Sesshomaru?" They were talking in soft and low tones.
"Yes."
"Are you..." He put one of his fingers on her lips and lowered his lips to hers. At the touch of his lips was everything. He held her by the waist. Insueka had wrapped her arms around his neck. Both had their eyes closed. Sesshomaru was about to deepen the kiss but then they were interrupted by a demon.
"Lord Sesshomaru..." He saw Sesshomaru with Insueka the moment he opened the door. Sesshomaru pulled away the moment he heard his name. Insueka was embarrassed.
"I wish to be excused." She bowed then ran out.
"What is it?" Sesshomaru said coldly. It took a while for the demon to come to his senses.
"Oh here is the book you wanted." Sesshomaru took it then went to his desk. But he looked up.
"If you breathe a word of what you saw then I will be more than happy to replace you." The demon nodded. Then he exited the room. Sesshomaru sat back in his chair and was thinking what just happened between Insueka and him. "She is a very beautiful person, young, caring, and kind. So is this what love feels like." Sesshomaru was a little shaky in the voice but he felt warmth.
"I can't believe I kissed Lord Sesshomaru. Ok Insueka, pull yourself together and tell yourself why you like him so. Well his eyes. There is a sad story of his childhood behind them. His hair, it looks like silk, shinny, and soft but maybe it's just that I love the color silver. His demon scars; the crescent moon and the two blood red stripes on both sides of his face. And what else...AH! The way he speaks to me. He speaks with kindness, care, and love. Mother you said that love can make you shaky but you feel warm at the same time." She laughed, and then remembered the book she picked up but Sesshomaru stopped her. "That book may have some clues on how to take the jewel out of my body. I have to go in there when Lord Sesshomaru is asleep." She thought.
--------------------------------------------------------
"This book is confusing." He was confusing himself because he was thinking of the kiss and trying to read at the same time. "I should go to sleep. Maybe in the morning I will be able to read the book." he thought. Insueka heard him talking to himself.
She heard the door to the library close and his footsteps going down the hall. Then heard his room door shut.
"Thank heaven for these half-breed ears." She thought. She got out of her room and walked quietly to the library. The door was unlocked. She was happy. She opened the door slowly so it would not make a sound. Then entered the library and got the book. And closed the door and ran in to her room. But then she heard footsteps from Sesshomaru's room and they were coming to her room. She started to panic with the book in her hand.
"Crap. Crap. Crap. Here the hell can I put this." She saw a closet. She ran over and put the book under a lot of clothes. But as soon as she closed the closet door her room door opened.
"Insueka you are still awake?"
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep. What are you doing in here? You know you could have knocked?"
"I didn't want to wake you if you were asleep. And I came to give you this." He held out a clothed wrapped gift. She didn't know how to react. She tried to speak but nothing came. So all she could do was get the gift and then looked up at him. "Open it." She smiled. She slowly opened the gift. Then she was shocked as she saw a red kimono. It was beautiful mostly the entire kimono was red but there was a white hexagon with white flowers in the middle of the hexagons. (It does sound filmier. Because it is on the side of Sesshomaru's clothes.)
"I am speechless. Thank you it is beautiful." She had a happy tear run down her face.
"It was my mother's I thought that it would look beautiful on you."
"Thank you. I will wear it in the morning." She put the dress on top of her clothes and spun around but something hit the floor. She picked the thing up. It was a pair of earrings.
"I forgot to tell you that the earrings were with the kimono."
"I am honored to wear something that was your mother's." Then she ran to the closet and picked up the book.
"Why?"
"I took it out of the library when you left. I haven't read it yet but I wish to tell you now before you found out."
"Insueka I told you not to touch the books."
"But I thought the book would have something about my curse."
"I need to show you something. You know the demon that came in when we were together."
She blushed. "Yes."
"He brought a book and it is about has everything about curses and maybe it has your curse." She followed him into the library. Once she was in she shut the door behind her. Sesshomaru went to get the book and showed the book to her.
"Wow. It is a large book. I guess that there are a lot of curses."
"No only thirty curses, it has all the information about the history, ways to slow down the curse, and ways to get rid of them."
"God, that is a lot. I don't think that I could sit and read through each curse."
"I lied saying that I was catching up on some work. I was trying to find a way to stop your pain." She was about to cry.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru."
"Please call me just only call me Sesshomaru."
"Ok then thank you Sesshomaru. Why do you wish to help me I haven't done anything to repay you for bringing me back to life. And now you wish to stop my curse." "Well I.... I." Someone came into the room.
'Damn why the hell when Sesshomaru and I are trying to talk someone comes in and interrupts.'
"Well what is it this time!?" it was the same demon that intruded them the first time.
"Well this is for Lady Insueka."
"Yes."
"Sir Shinto is gone." She didn't know how to react.
"Brother why did you leave?" she thought.
"Jaken went to speak with him but he was gone. It seems..."
"That is enough!" Sesshomaru was angry.
"Forgive Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Insueka."
"Please leave." Insueka said sadly. The demon nodded then went out. When he shut the door she fell to her knees and cried. "Big brother why did you leave? You promised." Then she thought. "I said that you could go. But.... Shinta."
"Are you feeling fine?" she nodded then got up and ran out of the room to Shinta's. She opened the door to find Shinta crying. She ran over and held him. "He left without saying good bye." He sobbed.
"Don't worry I am here. I will never leave you. I promise."
"Insueka, I love you sister."
"And I love you too brother."
Sesshomaru was standing outside the door.
