'Ello my lovelies~ Missed me? Hmm? No? Oh well, so I'm AshReaper, and before any of you get your panties in a twist, You may already recognize this story beginning. Why? Cause I was once upon a time called 'Obscuram Raven'! This is merely a new account, as I will be deleting my old one soon! However 'till then, I'm currently in the process of updating and editing stories and re-posting them on this account! So this is not copying, rather it's a transfer. Thank you for listening!
Oh and this story used to be called, 'New Days Awake to Love'. But I've decided thats too sappy and changed it to 'Awaken into Truth'.
So… This is our new story! We're not sure how popular it will be, or how long it will be, yada yada. We do not have it all planned out. I'm just writing it as ideas appear spontaneously in my twisted messed up mind. There will be some ooc-ness in here, sorry, Incest, male x male, Yaoi, yummy-goodness. So if you don't like that, or don't approve of it, please refrain from reading this story. If not you're in for one heck of a ride. Oh and I'm not sure when I will be updating this regularly, as I'm trying out for color guard soon, and exams are up and coming, so it will get a little crazy. This is my first Inuyasha x Sesshomaru fanfic, I hope it goes well. And If you are wondering why I said 'we' at the beginning of this rant. I have a friend, Charlie, who will be joining me while writing. Thank ya for reading!
Disclaimer: We do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters! The only thing we actually own is a pint of icecream and our OCs! So pitchfork people, stop chasing us!
Ratings for this Chap: T, only for s a bit of wearing in this one.
Awaken Into Truth, Chapter 1.
Golden eyes glared up at the sky. Everything felt so… hollow. Yet despite the emptiness, for once, everything seemed to be alive. One would think that after all this time, after such a thing happens, that the sky would be raining. Instead it's as if it wants to tell them to carry on. Leave the past behind, it's a new day. No sense in raining. But no, it was bright blue, clouds slowly drifting, just like his thoughts. For once he felt clear hearted, and not just clear headed. For years he had been particularly acute and aware, but his emotions and judgement had been clouded for years. As if he had been numb, and was surviving on instinct body becoming that of an animal, no longer being controlled by his human heart. Having stuck to the forest for years, hardly ever going into the village, and when he did, it was merely to check on the only ones he had left. Wasting all his time training, becoming stronger. But right now he felt clear. Although still bitter, he felt like he could finally move on. Maybe, just maybe, he could begin to live again.
He no doubt had a reason to motivate him into doing so. Guilt rose up through him. He felt sick with himself, how dare he do that to them. He had practically abandoned the last of his living loved ones. Because of selfish reasons, he had left the last of his pack behind. 'Ugh, I'm such a fucking idiot. How could I have done that to them?'
Inuyasha had once upon a time been a brave, foolish, rash, young man. Always ready for battle, ready to fight for the ones he loved. But many years had past, and as expected, time had undoubtedly changed him. No longer was he as naive as he once was, nor as ignorant. Time had aged him, not as much physically as mentally. He had been happy for a long time with Kagome. Lived with her until her black locks had turned grey, and her bones brittle with age. Not one day had passed all those years where he had regretted falling in love, and not one day did he stop loving her. When the day came that her body turned to ash, and was laid to rest, it had been as if something inside him had died. Looking back on that time was difficult, it was as if all his motions, actions, thoughts, were covered by a haze, as if it hadn't really been him. Although he knew it was, it had been as if he was nothing more than a body roaming on their basic instincts. He had become numb to everything, spending his days training, hunting lower demons, and surviving. Only coming out of the forest now and then to check up on the ones he loved. Unfortunately during that time, he wasn't even sure if truly recognized them, or if it was only a faint memory of the place that kept him coming back.
It seemed, that this would be the day that he would 'awaken' from the haze he had been going through. It was now that he would have to reality.
Guilt once again welled up in him as his thought returned from how much he had changed, to his precious remaining pack. Kagome and him hadn't been able to have children. Kagome had been devastated to learn that she was unable to bare children. Inuyasha had been fine with it, stating that he had never expected to ever have children in the first place. Besides, that basically already had a child. Shippo, the fox demon child they had picked up on their travels had stuck with them throughout the years. Eventually calling Kagome his foster mom, and Inuyasha his Father. They had come to love the little squirt dearly, for all the prankster tricks.
'Keh, I wonder how the little brat is now days. I wonder how much time has passed since I last saw the little brats face. My sons face….' Inuyasha felt a certain bitterness at the thought had been many years since he had last seen him, back then, he had been no more than a small tyke. He had left soon after in order to take the Fox Demon Examinations, that all of the kitsune were supposed to attend in order to gain tails. 'By now he would have grown into a fine young man… huh, the damn brat is probably tricking everyone in sight. Irritating little brat….' He thought fondly.
Shippo hadn't been the only one to worm their way into his heart though. There was of course Sango, and Miroku, but they were human, and had long since passed, as well as their children. Although their grandchildren may still be alive, it was unlikely that they would recognize him. No, there was still others though. Like that old mangy wolf, Kouga, as smelly as he was, he was undoubtedly a comrade, if anything, an honorary member of his grinned at the thought.
Besides Shippo the only other to truly gain access to his heart, was his other adopted child. One that had come along a lot later than the kitsune. It was a little girl, named Aimi. She had been Rin's daughter. Rin and Inuyasha had become close over the years, like siblings, Rin being the younger baby sister that he had felt the need to take care of course. So when a wolf demon had come along and decided to take Rin as his mate, he had been wary. But over time he found the demon to be charming and true to his word. The two love birds had gotten married when she was 20, and had a child in the same year. Aimi had been a sweet child from the start, but with rash rough side to her. Of course she was a hanyou as Inuyasha was, but it didn't always show. The child looked more like a real wolf demon than a half one. Having her mother's pretty facial features, giving her an almost mirror image look of Rin at her age, but there was something else as well. Her hair was a bright black, with a white streak going through it. Along with pointed ears, and a bushy Wolf tail, she looked fully demon. Strangely she resembled Inuyasha personality wise, and physically. Especially since she had golden eyes. More often than not she tended to dress similar to how he remembered kouga to, although heaven's knows how she had known what the wolf demons normally wore. As the only wolf demon he came into contact with was her father. And that in itself was only for a short period of time. Rin died a few years later, breaking Kagome and his own heart. Her love took it the worst though. He ended up killing himself soon after her death, unable to deal with the pain. That had ended up leaving little Aimi all alone. Well not all alone. Inuyasha took the little girl in, and raised her as his own with Shippo and Kagome. Shippo had been thrilled of course, to have a younger sister, especially since she was a half demon meaning that she was immortal.
His pups were in the village, he could tell. He had gotten good at sensing people, he could easily figure out they were there. It would seem that today he would begin to live again.
He sat up from the tree branch he was sitting on. Inuyasha felt as if the weight had lifted from his heart finally. He was so relieved he didn't hear the footsteps fall behind him, until they were too close to avoid an encounter. Over the long years, he had become stronger, faster, and his senses had grown. He was on par if not better than the strongest full demons now. He was no longer one to react immediately to such a thing. InuYasha stretched leaning forwards on the large branch he was balanced on. A sad smile came to find itself on his face as he remembered the time Kagomehad 'sit' him making him fall to the ground. She had tried to force bandages on his non-existent wounds. The end result was being seen by the old hag, and being accused of sexual activities. A chuckle wormed its way from him, he would never forget her blushing face then. It had been so funny, however he too had been rather flustered then too, he just hid it better. Normally when he thought of Kagomeit only made grief, but today was different. He was different.
It was then that he noticed the footsteps below him. Stilling, he sniffed the breeze not looking down. It was a familiar smell, Lavender and rose, but from who?
Inuyasha's eyes widened, how could he have forgotten?
He got up and jumped to the ground, automatically sliding into a defensive stance. Wishing he had Tetsusaiga badly, but knowing wishing was impossible. Unarmed it would have to be. He slowly looked up and stared at his opponent's eyes.
Gold clashed against Gold.
"...Sesshomaru." Inuyasha whispered brokenly.
