Author's Notes: Wow its been so long. At least a year or so...Wow hard to believe. And this and Gift Of Humanity and some other fic I canned (threw away or deleted) was my first fics I ever started on. Gift Of Humanity was the first, then this one, and then the one I canned. Through I canned one and finished Gift Of Humanity, I just didn't have the time tell now. But now that I'm back I'll answer some questions (or statements) I received in my reviews. Well for the reviews I received on the site Sesshoumaru fan fictions.
First of all, I'll answer some questions/concerns from one of the first people to review Four Seasons. The first site I posted this fan fiction on is the (long dead) website Sesshoumaru Fanfictions. This should help explain the setup of this fan fiction: I will not get a beta reader, I want to do all my fics all by myself because that's the only way you'll ever learn how to do anything is by DIY. And this will not be in diary format. Because I have no experience writing in diary format and I don't like it. So this will be in third person limited point of view . Which means you'll know what Sesshoumaru's thinking and what he says. And of course the first chapter was going to have some mistakes, like come one here, this was one of my first fan fictions! If any of you do read my work on you should know how bad the first chapters of Gift Of Humanity was.
And for the rest of my reviewers...Thank you so much! If not for you guys I would not have continued this!
The rating may rise up to PG-13 in the future. This fan fiction is broken down into parts based on the seasons. Each part is 4 chapters long.
Enjoy.
Four Seasons
Spring: Chapter 2
What was the old saying? Raining cats and dogs? Not quite, but two people in Sesshoumaru's group were starting to sound like a pack of wild animals fighting.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Wait up! Ofop-"yelled Jaken before he fell into another puddle.
"Jaken fell again!"exclaimed Rin As she stepped over the little toad and ran to catch up with Sesshoumaru.
"I know."said Sesshoumaru as he glanced over his shoulder to see Jaken getting up and hitting Rin on the head with his staff. Rin turned around and yelled at him along with trying to take his staff. Sesshoumaru turned around and kept walking.
'I don't know whats worse, this rain, Inuyasha, or stopping every few minutes so they can go at it," Sesshoumaru thought as he tried to block out the sound of Rin and Jaken's argument.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! Wait up for Rin!"yelled Rin after him as she walked away from Jaken, who was face down in puddle again.
Sesshoumaru stopped walking, but not because of Rin. He sensed a familiar presence nearby. 'There nearby... Inuyasha and his wrench...'
"Rin, Jaken, stay here." Sesshoumaru commanded. Jaken nodded even though he was face down in a puddle. Rin nodded her assent as well. Sesshoumaru looked at the path in front of him for a moment then kept on walking, following the presence of Kagome.
Or so he thought...
Half a hour later of walking Sesshoumaru came out of the woods. Sesshoumaru had now come upon another a small path almost overgrown with weeds and forgotten. Looking around he narrowed his eyes as he knew he was close to who he was trying to find. The only problem was the rain. It was clouding his senses, so he couldn't exactly tell where his target was, much less see them now that the sprinkle of rain had become a downpour. It really was "raining cats and dogs" now.
Narrowing his eyes, Sesshoumaru walked further out into the path and looked left and right. Looking to the left, he saw a large oak tree that was almost in the path itself. From his point of view Sesshoumaru could see the shoulder of the woman he was looking for. Sesshoumaru walked around the tree until he could see who was sitting there.
He wasn't expecting the person sitting at the tree's base.
Huddled in the roots of the tree, clutching her knees to her chest, was a woman dressed in red and white that looked almost like a almost drowned kitten wit er big, sunken brown eyes and wet, matted hair. From the looks of her, she had been out in the rain longer than he had. But if it bothered her she didn't seem to notice nor mind. Any normal person would have been inside by now or at least shivering from the cold or they had caught from staying out in the rain, yet she didn't move or seem to feel anything.
As Sesshoumaru stood in front of her the woman slowly looked up at him. Seeing her face clearly for the first time Sesshoumaru realized he had made a mistake.
"You are not Kagome."
"No, I'm not."
The woman before him smiled, just a small smile barely noticeable unless you had keen eye sight. Sesshoumaru was about to turn around and walk away, but her hand shot out and grasped his.
"Wait, if you are looking for my copy, then your looking for Inuyasha..."
"Yes, you guessed correctly human." Sesshoumaru said with a tone of disdane at the physical contact with the human woman before him. He shook his hand quickly from her grasp. She stood up and glared at him with more with interest than anger in her eyes.
"I am not a human, at least not anymore...Plus you must be Sesshoumaru, the lord around here,"she said. Sesshoumaru gave her a glare of his own. Normally he would have killed her just for touching him, but her bravery and her connection to Inuyasha kept him from slaying her.
"You have once again guessed correctly, and who might you be?" Seshoumaru asked. He kept his thoughts to himself, but Sesshoumaru thought that knowing who this woman is might be to his advantage in the fight against Inuyasha. At the very least she could point him in the right direction.
"I am Kikyou. And it is a pleasure to meet you Sesshoumaru. You were who I was looking for."
Sesshoumaru wasn't surprised by her words, lots of people came to him. Even humans. His interest in Kikyou began to wane as he began to dismiss her as another silly human come to ask a favor of their lord. But he would go along with her for now. Kikyou could serve as an amusing distraction at the least.
"And why were you looking for me?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I was looking for you because I hear that you are trying to destroy Inuyasha. We both have our own reasons, but I also want to see his demise. He will die by my hands, but if we work together we can have what we both want a lot faster. That and you seem to need a babysitter..."
Sesshouamaru's remaining hand itched to slap Kikyou for her arrogance when he heard Rin's voice.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! Jaken's drowning! Oh...who's the pretty lady? Wait this pretty lady is the same one that helped Rin before! Hello pretty lady!"
Kikyou laughed and walked past Sesshoumaru before he could react. He turned sharply around to see her kneeling in front of Rin.
"Yes, I remember you. You were the sweet little girl I saved awhile back. How are you doing...Rin was it?" Rin nodded and Kikyou laughed and continued. "Well you know what Rin? You and me are going to get along and become good friends. My name is Kikyou and I will be joining you and Sesshoumaru. Is that alright with you?"
Rin nodded, hugged Kikyou, and then jumped up and ran over and hugged Sesshoumaru too. After doing so she looked up at Sesshoumaru's now frowning face and said:
"Does that mean that your married? Is Kikyou-sama is Rin's mother?"
Several things went through his head.
All his thoughts jumbled together as, for the first time in his life, Sesshoumaru was at a loss for words. His thoughts basically consisted of: What the fuck, Whaaaaaaaaaaat, She's going to die, I'm not her father, I should kill them both, Jaken's going to find himself in a grave for not making sure she stayed put, and finally, What the hell? She is not coming along!
But in the end none of these things came out of his mouth since by the time he was ready to yell at Kikyou and Rin both of them were farther along the trail and Jaken, who had suddenly arrived, was face down in mud with Kikyou's arrow sticking out of his back.
"Sesshoumaru, hurry up now "husband" or else your going to catch a cold. Oh, and I hope you don't mind that I killed you servant. He was annoying. I'll buy you a new one for a wedding present," yelled Kikyou to him over her shoulder.
"You are not my "wife" you little bi-"yelled Sesshoumaru at Kikyou. Also for the first time in his life, Sesshoumaru lost his temper at a mortal.
"Sesshoumaru-sama was about to say a bad word" said Rin to Kikyou. Kikyou laughed and looked at Sesshoumaru over her shoulder and couldn't stop laughing from what must have been the look on his face or her own joke.
"Yeah, he was, but luckily he knew that he should use some manners and stop acting like a dog."
If not for Rin, Sesshoumaru would have strangled Kikyou with his bare hands. Inuyasha or no Inuyasha, the only reason Kikyou lived was because Rin looked happier with her than he had ever seen her with anyone else besides himself.
"But Sesshoumaru-sama is a dog." Rin turned her head to the side in confusion while Kikyou almost doubled over with mirth and Sesshoumaru looked like he was about to explode.
Author's Notes: And that's how Sesshoumaru met Kikyou. I decided to add a little comedy at the end. Sorry if Sesshoumaru and Kikyou are too occ or if anything's misspelled.
