Sesshoumaru Whole and Shining
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, but I do own Catranel.
Chapter 1
Sesshoumaru had chosen to take a break from the palace. Rin had wanted to come or for him to stay, but he needed some time away. The elders were nagging him about finding a mate once more. He had told them that he had chosen a mate and was waiting for him to come into adulthood. This quieted them, but what he had left out that his chose mate was Inuyasha, and that he was unsure his brother would share his feelings much less become his mate.
Sesshoumaru was so deep in thought that he failed to notice the figure approaching. At a distance one would think that it what Sesshoumaru's mother, but a closer look would tell you otherwise. Deep sky blue eyes, long milky white hair in two small braids at the front going back to join with to cat hair odango on either side at the top of the head the rest flowing down the back in waves to the back of the knees, close of all the color of a rainbow in spring, a sky blue upward facing crescent on the forehead and markings the same shape as Sesshoumaru's but sliver fading back into blue. This person was beautiful, but as this person appoches Sesshoumaru all that could be seen with in those eyes was pain and sorrow.
Sesshoumaru looks up in shock at not sensing the stranger's approach, and quickly stands, hand on hilt. "Who are you, and what do you want of this Sesshoumaru?" Catranel step forward unleashing a light whip from each hand; one tieing his hand to his back the other holding Sesshoumaru's body in place unharmed. Catranel moved forward speaking in a quiet pained voice. "This one has come to help you to be whole once more. This Catranel has come so that you would be whole and shining and not broken and in shadow any longer." Sesshoumaru's eyes widen as the voice and face in front of him almost as if he knew them, and yet the only thing he was sure of was the fact that he was unable to move. Sesshoumaru speaks up. "Why are you doing this?"
Catranel looks into Sesshoumaru's eyes. "To prevent the Two of us from fighting and to make sure that I am heard." Catranel closes their eyes (AN/their meaning this person is both male and female.) nods as if deciding something and looks at the ground. "Alright, to tell you the truth; I am here to right a few wrongs that have been done to your brother and yourself."
Catranel pauses and before they can continue; they sense Inuyasha quickly approaching. Inuyasha leaps out of the trees, tetsaiga drawn. "Hey you, what are you doing to Sesshoumaru?" Catranel places their ki so that Sesshoumaru remains in place, and turns to the side missing the blow from tetsaiga, and in the process tetsaiga sticks into the ground. Catranel kicks the sword aside a gently stands on the both of Inuyasha's hands, and all before he could blink. Inuyasha has a look of confusion on his face. (An/ I think he would look a bit silly like that. Do not you?) Sesshoumaru looks at Inuyasha with hidden worry. "Otouto what do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha looks at Sesshoumaru then at Catranel and his hands then glares back at Sesshoumaru. "I thought I was trying to help but you're being an ungrateful ass." Sesshoumaru glares back want Inuyasha leave unharmed. "Otouto, stay out of this you will only get yourself hurt."
Catranel growls low and take a deep breath. "That is enough. Neither of you have room to argue like children at the moment, nor at this moment do I not have time for this childishness." Catranel glares at the both of them and takes their small foot off of Inuyasha's hand. Inuyasha falls back on his butt even more confused. "Hey you with the odango. Who are you any way, and if you're strong enough to tie Sesshoumaru up like that, and just hand on my hands and my whole body can't move; why haven't you finished us out yet?" Sesshoumaru notices the broken look on Catranel's face as they look away from Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, this does not concerns you." Catranel looks to the sky tear falling down their cheeks; unable to hold in the pain of the past anymore. "Oh, but it does Sesshoumaru." Catranel releases Sesshoumaru leaving him confused. "Catranel… Who are you?" Catranel looks at Sesshoumaru with a bitter sweet smile on their face looking into his eyes. "I am your future and hidden inner self …your whole self."
Sesshoumaru looks closer as if finally seeing a part of his self he had been missing was right in front of him and realizes as he looks deeper into those eyes so unlike his that as he looks within them he can see emotion that he had hidden from his self and a brokenness that he had denied. "But how?" Catranel turns away looking at the sky to will away the pain. "This soul was shattered born the birth of our brother, because you chose to hide from your heart and close yourself off from your emotion as well as the love you have for your soul mate. I am who can become if you open your heart once more and love freely again as you were meant to, and once you learn to truly love the one you were meant to." Catranel walks over to Inuyasha place a pinky under the beads of subjection, and pulling back gently; Inuyasha leans back instinctively. "And Inuyasha, I do not think you need these." With a flash of light the beads turn to dust and blow away in the wind. Sesshoumaru stands beside the shocked Inuyasha a frown on his face. "Catranel, will I see you again?" Catranel looks back over a shoulder a hopeful smile on their face. "Yes, one day you will look in the mirror and remember me." With that said Catranel disappears into the mists of time until they awaken once more, leave behind a hopeful Sesshoumaru and a very confused Inuyasha.
