Legacy Chapter one: Sesshomaru

By: Crazyhanyou

It was a summer day, just like any other; the sun beat down from the sky warming the earth below. The wind blew, relieving the creatures that were out. A man walked along a path that leaded to a small house. He looked like he was in his early twenties. He was tall and slender. He bore the shape of any human but there was something about him that made him anything but human.

His eyes were amber colored; his silver hair, which was especially long, was pulled back into a ponytail. His ears were strangely shaped like those of an elf. He bore a human face but on his cheeks he had strange purple marks, they were shaped like triangles. Although his mouth was shut, you could tell he had fangs.

The man looked over his shoulder to see if anyone was following him. After a brief five seconds he sighed with relief and continued to walk.

As he neared the door, a woman came running out, She bore the same features; purple marks, elf ears, silver hair. The only thing that was different was her purple crescent moon on her forehead. Her stomach bulged from being with child. She hugged him, "InuTaisho! I missed you so much!"

He greeted her with a kiss but he seemed concerned. "Sessuna… You should be more careful. You're due anytime soon."

She kissed him back. "I know. I think it might be a boy."

InuTaisho smiled a childish smile. "Really? Yay!"

She smiled. "How was your trip?"

He grimaced. "Well… I had to seal away a Menomaru, the moth demon's son. He came from the mainland. We also lost some men… my brother…"

Sessuna stared. "What happened?"

"Yagato was still young… he shouldn't have come with. He was my responsibility and I let him down… it's all my fault! I should have never let him come with! Maybe if he would've stayed here he'd be okay." He said weakly.

Sessuna hugged him. "Look. He wanted to go and he was honored to be with his big brother 'till the end. Don't worry about it."

He smiled. "Thanks, Sessuna."

"So have you eaten yet?" She asked, knowing that at mention of food he would go nuts.

"No," He drooled, "what 'cha got? Did you make my favorite?"

She nodded and revealed a pot full of noodles. "You wanted ramen, am I right?"

"Yes! Thanks!" He yelled in a juvenile voice, bouncing up and down.

A huge sweat drop fell from her forehead. "You know, InuTaisho, you can be a real kid at times."

"Hmph! Well it's better than acting mature all the time." He grabbed a pair of chopsticks and dug in, slurping up every last noodle.\

Sessuna hit him over the head. "Hey you pig! I'm hungry too!"

He stared at her, chopsticks in his mouth. "So?"

She couldn't believe this. "You asshole! I'm warning you… Ahh!" She fell to the ground holding her stomach.

InuTaisho stared and then realized what was going on. "Sessuna!"

He ran over to her and held her in his arms. She had sweat all over her face. Her eyes were full of tears from the pain she was enduring. She whispered something to him. "It's time."

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

One hour later a cry erupted from nowhere. Sessuna held a tiny infant in her arms. InuTaisho smiled and wiped her forehead with a wet cloth. The infant was a male with his mother's face; he had inherited her moon and two violet triangles on each of his cheeks. He had amber eyes and silver hair. He also had his parents' elf ears,

Sessuna smiled sweetly. "Look at him. Isn't he beautiful?"

InuTaisho's face had a gentle look to it. "Yeah."

"What should we name him?" She asked as she stroked the baby's silver locks.

"Sesshomaru. Since he looks so much like you." InuTaisho grinned.

Sessuna smiled gently. "You hear that, Sesshomaru, your father says you look like me."

Sesshomaru, even though newborn, had a sarcastic look on his face that said, "Spare me, woman. Who would wanna look like you?"

InuTaisho stared at him. "Boy! What a sour puss! I think someone needs a hug!"

Sessuna glared at him. "Don't you make him cry or you're sleeping outside."

"You know I'll just sneak back in." He stated,

She shot him a cold look. "Don't be a smart ass!"

"Sorry!" He picked the newborn up and stared at him. Sesshomaru stared back. They both stared for a while, neither of them took an eye of the other or even blinked. Finally, Sesshomaru yawned and fell asleep. InuTaisho smiled gently. "I love you son. I hope you'll grow up to be a great demon like me." He gave Sesshomaru back to his mother but not before kissing him on the forehead and then he kissed her.

She kissed him back. "Aren't you happy?"

He smiled. "Yeah…"
