Okay guys here is my very first Inuyasha fanfic (well one that I have decided post) I got this idea a while ago after watching the 3rd movie which is my all time favourite.
Okay so this is a Sesshomaru/Kagome pairing but there will be plenty of Inuyasha/Kikyo and Sango/Miroku. I am a big fan of Sesshomaru and Kagome so here it is. Sesshomaru may be a bit OC in this chapter but its only because Inupapa is back for a bit ;) so I hope you all enjoy it. This is set after the final season.
I do not own Inuyasha (I wish I did) I do own the names that I have given Sesshomaru/Inuyasha's father and Sesshomaru's mother.
It was a hot day in the fields near the village where Inuyasha and his pack rested. Despite the heat many farmers where out in the fields, getting the crops ready for selling. A dark haired woman was kneeling by a patch of herbs. She wore a plain red and white miko outfit with a bow on her back with some arrows.
Her dark hair stuck to her skin causing her to sigh as she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.
"Kagome! You should rest. It is not good for you to be out here in this heat." Kagome looked up to see Sango running up towards her. Kagome smiled lightly knowing her friend was worried about her.
"I was getting these herbs to help Kikyo. The pup is restless." Kagome said standing up making Sango frown.
"I remember Kikyo telling you not to leave the hut as well as Inuyasha promising to tie you up near Kouga's den if you left." Sango smirked at Kagome's shiver. Kouga had still not gotten the idea that she was not interested in him.
"Fine fine. I'm coming." Kagome sighed as she followed Sango back to the village.
"Mama Kagome!" Both Shippo and Rin yelled happily. Rin had joined their pack 3 years ago when Sesshomaru left her in Kagome's care. Kagome frowned at the thought of the Western Lord. He had not said why he was leaving Rin here but he made frequent visits which seemed to appease the young child.
"Uncle Inu is going to yell again isn't he?" Rin asked softly making Sango chuckle as said hanyou walked out of the hut.
"Kagome." Inuyasha growled deeply making Kagome roll her eyes.
"Sit boy." She said making Inuyasha's eyes go wide as he was now face to face with his old friend the dirt.
"What the hell was that for woman?!" Inuyasha growled as he let the spell wear off for a few minutes. Kagome turned around only to see a very angry looking Kikyo frowning at her.
"Um, you said the pup was being restless." Kagome blushed under Kikyo's knowing glare.
"I may have said that but Kagome! You have been getting weaker by the day ever since you brought me back from the dead. How can you expect me to let you go out in this heat?!" Kikyo all but yelled at her.
"I know but you know me Kikyo. I hate resting." Kagome frowned. "Anyway I found these herbs. They will help with the pup." She said walking past Kikyo. Kikyo's eyes turned sad as Inuyasha came up beside her.
"I'm worried Inu. Even though Kagome is fine, I fear the training as Village Priestess is taking its toll on her." Kikyo said worried. Inuyasha kissed her neck lightly where the mark that showed everyone that she was his rested.
"I know my love but Kagome will be okay." Inuyasha said. 'At least I hope she will be. I don't know how much longer her soul can last with the stress she is going under.'
Kikyo sighed as she placed a hand on her swollen stomach where her and Inuyasha's pup grew.
3 years ago to this day it was the final battle against Naraku. She had already died for the second time but thanks to being a guardian of the jewel when she was younger, she could see everything that happened through Kagome. The pain in Inuyasha's eyes was something she wanted to block out forever.
She knew everything that the pack went through to defeat Naraku. Even Sesshomaru joined the group and she saw what he went through. The one thing that stood out to her was when everything was settling from the battle was Sesshomaru's pain filled howl. The jewel had suddenly decided to take Kagome without warning. She would never forget the look in Sesshomaru's eyes when she saw him watch Kagome disappear.
Shaking the sad thoughts from her mind she followed her mate and friends into the hut. She remembered the day that Kagome brought her back to life with the jewel. Kagome had spoken with Midoriko on how to make a pure wish. The only thing that Kagome wished for was for every person that suffered at the hands of Naraku to be restored and given another chance. Kagome had almost lost her life in the process but she was strong and held on.
Kagome ignored the angry glares coming from her hanyou best friend. She knew he was mad at her and so was Kikyo but she wanted to get out of the hut. She felt as if she was being suffocated. While she was gathering the herbs, a necklace fell out from underneath her top. She sighed as she held the pink jewel that was attached to it.
The Shikon No Tama. A jewel so powerful it could corrupt even the purest soul. Everyone apart from Kagome had fallen at some point to the cursed jewel. Kagome frowned as she held it in her hands. Because of this jewel she was trapped in a time, 500 years away from her family. Yes she loved everyone here but she missed her mother, brother and grandfather.
Her thoughts drifted to the final battle against Naraku. She despised the horrid hanyou with everything she had but she did not let her heart become clouded with hate. She closed her eyes tightly as if she was trying to block everything out. She could still hear the cries of horror as the jewel sucked her in but the one thing that haunted her for 3 years was a howl. An Inu howl of pain when losing ones mate. She could have sworn it came from Sesshomaru but she didn't dare to hope. She knew that he would never care for her the way she did for him even though he cared for Rin.
"Kagome?" Sango asked breaking into Kagome's thoughts. "You were in as you called it 'la la' land." She said softly. She would never understand her friend's strange sayings.
"Sorry Sango. I was thinking about before." Kagome said as she placed the herbs in their correct places.
"Ah." Sango said softly.
As Kagome began working on a soup for Kikyo, unknown to her someone was watching from the shadows. A pair of amber eyes followed her every move with longing flowing through them. Sesshomaru known as the Cold one or Killing Perfection as his half brother called him was indeed watching a human miko. Sesshomaru would never admit it out loud but Kagome caught his attention from the first moment he met her in his father's tomb.
Yes he hated humans with a passion that some deemed unhealthy but that was due to past experiences he had as a pup. After all he cared for Rin like his own and would kill anyone that would try to harm her. That was one of the reasons why he left her in Kagome's care. A few weeks after it was known that Kagome was staying in their time for good, Rin was attacked by a well known youkai that his mother wanted him to mate with. When he refused the woman again, she got angry and attacked the one that was closest to him at the time. Rin.
Rin had not been happy when he took her to the village and made that very clear to his very sensitive hearing but he wanted her to be safe. The flash of fear in his eyes made her realize that he was doing it to protect her. Rin gave up the fight very quickly but was happy beyond belief when he came to visit her.
His thoughts drifted back to the final battle against Naraku. He had been so focused on the fight that he didn't notice the jewel's rising aura. His beast rose to the surface when he saw the jewel suck Kagome into its black hole and the one thing he would never forget was the look of fear in her eyes. His beast broke free and let out the most painful howl he ever heard. Of course everyone knew from that moment that his beast had chosen Kagome as their mate so he made each of the pack swear to silence. Though he knew Inuyasha loved to tease him about falling in their father's footsteps.
Even though he agreed with his beast on Kagome, he would never act on his desires. She would be the Head Priestess once Kaede passed on and as such, she must be pure. Besides he knew she would never want to be with someone as cold and blood thirsty as him. His thoughts were broken when he saw Shippo gently push Rin into the hut who had strangely gone very shy.
"Mama, Rin has something she wants to ask you." Shippo smiled making Rin shriek in alarm.
"Rin what is it sweetheart?" Kagome asked kneeling down before the little girl that looked so much like her.
"Um Rin...I was wondering if..." Rin blushed softly. "If I could call you mama like Shippo does." Rin waited for Kagome to laugh or say no but what she didn't expect was the bright smile on Kagome's face as she pulled her into a hug.
"Of course you can! Like Shippo, I already see you as my own." Kagome smiled making Rin cry out happily as she hugged Kagome. Shippo smiled as he joined in on the hug while everyone watched with a fond smile.
"All we need now is you know who to get his ass into gear." Sango whispered to Kikyo who nodded.
Sesshomaru was relieved to know that even though Rin saw Kagome as a mother, she was free to call Kagome mother. He knew Rin saw him as a father but could not call him it because she thought it would be a weakness in his eyes.
'She couldn't be more wrong.' Sesshomaru thought as he watched the scene, suddenly longing that he was there with them. A change in the wind suddenly caught Sesshomaru's attention as well as a aura that should have been long gone by now. Frowning to himself, Sesshomaru looked back at the scene once before leaving. He followed the aura until he reached the middle of the field where he and Inuyasha took down Naraku with Kagome's help.
"Sesshomaru." A male voice boomed making Sesshomaru's eyes go wide in surprise. A blue pulse of light hit the ground with a loud thud causing the air to whip around Sesshomaru causing his pelt, hair and kimono to dance harshly in the wind. The wind died down as the light dimmed.
"F-Father." Sesshomaru stated. His voice remained even, not showing one ounce of surprise or confusion.
"It is good to see you my son. It has been too long since I have seen you pup." Inutaisho or Takeshi known to others smiled.. His long silver hair was pulled up into a high ponytail that showed off a royal blue jagged stripe on each cheek. His amber eyes shone with happiness but underneath was a sadness that Sesshomaru could not understand. Takeshi wore a white kimono with a blue hexagon pattern that was exactly like Sesshomaru's kimono pattern.
"It has father. Nearly 300 years to be exact." Sesshomaru said. Takeshi sighed knowing his son was right. "Yet here you are. How has this come to be father?"
"The Kami." Takeshi said in a serious tone. "You have upset them greatly my son and I am here to show you why."
"I have upset the Kami? How?" Sesshomaru asked.
"The human miko known as Kagome." Takeshi said raising an eyebrow at his son. Sesshomaru's eyebrows were now lost beneath his silver hair as his father looked at him with a knowing expression.
"I do not understand father." Sesshomaru said as Takeshi walked past him.
"Follow me." Takeshi said as he walked in the direction of the village. Sesshomaru hid a annoyed expression as he followed his father. "It's amazing how one person can start a change then someone else comes along and finishes it."
"Father once again you are not making sense." Sesshomaru said as they came outside Kagome's hut. "Father..."
"Don't fret my boy. They can not see us." Takeshi said as he looked in the door. "Ah, I see why you are taken with Kagome and little Rin. Rin is adorable." He smiled.
"Father." Sesshomaru growled making Takeshi laugh.
"Don't worry son, Kagome is beautiful but I have my own mate. Your mother remember." Takeshi sighed in longing as his thoughts drifted to Megumi for a moment. "How is your mother?"
"Surviving." Sesshomaru stated as memories of Izayoi and his father floated to mind. "You say you have your own mate but it is not my mother. It is that hime, Izayoi."
"Ah, I see now." Takeshi sighed. He looked from his son back to the mother and daughter in the hut. "I am pleased that you have changed your beliefs towards some humans."
"I have come to terms with that some are worthy while others are not." Sesshomaru said. "Rin helped me regain my yoki after I battled against Inuyasha."
"Yes I am aware of that." Takeshi said as he looked at his son. "I am pleased about one thing though."
"And that is?"
"That your yoki flows through her blood." Takeshi said shocking his son. "Really Sesshomaru? Do you not remember?"
"Remember what?" Sesshomaru said confused.
"The night Jaken failed to protect Rin properly and she got sick. You shared your blood with her. That night your blood and yoki mixed with hers. She is your pup through and through now. That necklace your mother gave Rin hides it from others until she is of proper age where she can control it." Takeshi smiled at Sesshomaru's wide eyed expression as he looked at the little girl he cared for. "Once that necklace loses its barrier, Rin will look exactly like you. Right down to the markings and coloring. Everything apart from the crescent moon."
"Why is that?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I do not know but that is what I have been told by the Kami. Now this issue regarding Kagome. Why have you not made her yours?"
"I will not fall the way you did. You died protecting that hime and Inuyasha." Sesshomaru stated. Right there and then Takeshi understood everything.
"Son there is something you must known regarding Inuyasha and Izayoi." He said as he led his son back to the fields.
"What is it?"
"Izayoi is not Inuyasha's mother. Megumi, your mother. She is Inuyasha's mother." Takeshi said seriously. Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he took in his father's words. "You see after you turned 4 in human years, your mother and I wanted to have another pup. One that you could play with, train with. Be a big brother. We tried for so long but nothing happened until one night, your mother was finally pupped." Takeshi said softly. "We were about to tell you the wonderful news when your mother was suddenly attacked. I begged the healers to do something but nothing worked until one of the Kami visited us. She removed your mother's yoki in order to heal your mother. I was very surprised that your mother did not lose the pup during the transformation."
"So..." Sesshomaru breathed.
"Yes, Inuyasha is only a hanyou because your mother was a human for 5 months. Before Inuaysha was born, your mother's yoki was restored. You were told many lies by a close friend of mine and that is why you hated Inuyasha. We tried to tell you so many times but my death was the ultimate blow." Takeshi said sadly. Sesshomaru frowned as he thought everything over. His mother had been absent for 5 months before suddenly coming back and that was when Inuyasha was born. His eyes widened as everything clicked into place. Inuyasha was his full blooded brother. Not half.
"I understand now. General Katsuro told me that you had an affair with Izayoi and that was why mother was gone for that length of time." Sesshomaru said softly. "Does Inuyasha know?"
"Yes." Takeshi said after a few moments. "He promised Megumi he would not say anything until the time was right." Takeshi said as he began walking in the opposite direction. "Your brother is this way. Come with me." He said. Sesshomaru was still in slight shock over his father's words. He saw his brother sitting by the clearing with his mate Kikyo. "If you had not been so stubborn my son, Kagome wouldn't be getting weaker." He muttered but Sesshomaru heard.
"What?" He hissed.
"Inuyasha did not tell you? Kagome made a wish on the jewel to restore all those that were harmed by Naraku and that included Kikyo. Her life was restored but Kagome almost lost hers in the process. Had you been true to your feelings and mated with her, she wouldn't have nearly died. Though I understand Inuyasha's reasoning. The thought of losing one's mate can drive even the most controlled youkai to madness." Takeshi sighed as they reached a clearing. Inuyasha was sat against a tree with Kikyo between his legs and both sets of hands were on her stomach where their pup was growing.
"I know you feel bad Inu but you did what was right. Sesshomaru would have gone mad." Kikyo said softly. Inuyasha sighed sadly as he buried his nose into her neck and inhaled her scent.
"I know Kikyo but the look in his eyes when Kagome disappeared was too much. I thought he was going to lose control and kill himself over losing his other half." Inuyasha whimpered at the thought of losing Kikyo again. "I don't know how I would cope losing you again."
"Inu, you don't have to cope without me. I am here now." Kikyo said as she rubbed one of his ears. "Now Sesshomaru can take care of himself."
"I know he can. I just wish he wasn't so stubborn." Inuyasha said softly. Kikyo nodded as he rubbed her stomach in soft circles. Takeshi looked at his son who was now staring at his brother in complete shock. How could his brother know him so well?
"I know but don't worry about him or Kagome. I have a feeling something is going to happen soon."
"I hope so." Inuyasha said softly. "A youkai can only go so long without bonding with its mate."
"What Inuyasha says is true." Takeshi said looking at his son with serious eyes. "As I have said before, you have upset the Kami by not mating with Kagome sooner so now I am here to give you a message."
"Which is?" Sesshomaru asked.
"You have 3 days to prove to Kagome how you feel about her and make her yours or the consequences will be how shall we put it, undesired." Takeshi said with a small smirk. "So your 3 days start tomorrow and I suggest you get your act together and do this. Forget the fact she is human, she was born for you like you were born for her."
"Thank you father." Sesshomaru said with a small smile.
"You are welcome son. Now I must go, my time is out." Takeshi said softly as he embraced his son. "Remember, follow your instincts. They will never let you down." He said as he patted his son's head and stepped back. "I will be watching over you and your brother. Tell you mother..."
"I will." Sesshomaru said as his father disappeared into pure energy and disappeared within a flash. "I won't let you down." He looked in the direction of the human village and smirked. Even though the Kami were upset with him, he would get what he want and he would prove to Kagome how he feels about her.
After all he never does anything by half.
What will happen next? What will Sesshomaru do? Wait and find out c:
