Disclaimer: I wish I wish upon a star that I could own Inuyasha
AN: Okay. This is a little blurb I wrote inspired by some nice fanarts I saw. It is completely non-canon as Sesshoumaru was almost an adult when Inuyasha was born and their father died right after.
I still wanted to write this, so please no flames on the "historical" inaccuracies. Oh yes, Sesshoumaru is very OOC in this one.
The Void
"When did we drift so far apart, brother?
When did my eyes stop warming at your every smile?
When did I stop showing I cared?
I try everyday to recall what it was that happened between us…
To make us grow so far apart
Our father's death?
Your mother's demise?
Was it when you fell in love with the human miko, brother?
Was it when she killed you, brother?
Was it when her reincarnation brought you back to life…
In more ways then one?
I can't recall the exact moment that my heart became cold…
To you and the world…
Just that Rin warmed it again
She reminds me of you…you know?
Her eyes glow at the small intricacies of life
Learning new skills comes easily to her…
Maybe that's why I keep her around
Every day I wonder though…
When did the void become so wide?
Our voices could not overcome it?
Either way…
Happy Birthday Brother…
Happy Birthday Inuyasha."
Leaping off the trees Sesshoumaru took off towards his ward and his retainer. Maybe he hadn't noticed – or maybe he'd chosen to ignore the presence of his now human brother only just behind.
"I don't know. But maybe the void is closing."
AN: In case you're wondering, the fanarts in question are:
