Chapter Two: The Western Lord shows his true feelings.
Sesshoumaru found he had hit the end of the page and when he turned the page he noticed that the hand writing had changed dramatically. It was kind of scary it was like there was a hug chunk missing from his brother's life. So Sesshoumaru continued to read.
Well I know its been a while since I last wrote in this. I looked back and realized the last time I wrote in this book was the night my mother died. I right now am sitting in my favorite tree. Priestess Kikyo agreed with what my mother had said about it being a sacred tree. I can still feel Kagome here. I wonder why she's crying? Kikyo is so nice to me. She doesn't care if I am a half demon. I know the villagers don't like the fact that I hang around here a lot. But I really don't care what they think. I promised Kikyo that I wouldn't let her get hurt. A demon attacked the village in search for the Shikon no tama and Kikyo defended the village or at least she tried to. But the demon got the best of her and she was knocked into one of the huts. So when she was thrown I jumped in and killed the demon with my Iron Reaper Soul Stealer and then I went to make sure Kikyo was alright and she was. She had seen what I had done and so had the villagers. She had gotten up with my help and turned to the villagers and said, "Do you see what Inuyasha has done for us? He has saved us from the demon. He didn't have to do it but he did. Even after you treat him with malice and hatred he still chose to save you. Take that into consideration the next time you are met with Inuyasha." I was surprised at what she said. She had defended me and when we were out of the way I wrapped my arms around her and asked her if she alright. I am to met her in a meadow tomorrow so I can use the Shikon no tama to become human. That way she and I can be together once and for all. I love Kikyo with all my heart but something feels wrong with all of this but its probably nothing. The next time I write in this book I will be human.
Sesshoumaru was astonished to find that he had actually loved the Priestess that had betrayed him. He could only wonder at what had happened during his brother's absence. He had read another five pages when the writing changed again. This time to the writing he knew was his brothers hand writing.
Well I know now how long I have been pinned to that sacred tree I like so much. I was pinned to that tree for fifty years. Fifty years I waited for someone to pull that arrow out of my chest and to top it all off the one to do it is a girl named Kagome Higurashi. She is fifteen years old same age I am or I was when I was pinned to the tree. She is the reincarnation of Kikyo. She if from a place she calls Tokyo. I have no idea where that is but if its anywhere near here I am glad. She has put beads on my neck that are called the beads of subjugation with a word called "sit" she can subjugate me into the ground anytime she pleases I think she enjoys doing it though. I have to keep protecting her. She brought the jewel back with her. I want the jewel to become a full fledged demon like Sesshoumaru. I wonder how my brother is doing. I haven't seen him since I got woke up. I think I will try to find out if anyone knows anything about him and find some things out. I just hope Kami is still listening to me. Because that way I can ask him to watch over my brother till we meet again.
Sesshoumaru looked up from the book and toward the sky. He saw that it was almost a new moon. He wondered himself how Inuyasha was doing. He got up and put Inuyasha's journal into his Kimono and went up on top of a hill. He looked out over the whole valley he knew a song that Inuyasha was sure to know. He sniffed his brother out on the wind then turned toward him and took a deep breath and howled in perfect inu-youkai, Inuyasha listen to me alright. I think we need to talk. Can you meet me in the clearing by the water fall not that far from your camp?
(Sesshoumaru is in blue and Inuyasha is in red)
Inuyasha and his friends had just been attacked by Kagura and they were sitting there around thefire when Inuyasha and the others heard the howling. Inuyasha's ears perched up at what the howling said and it was weird for Sesshoumaru to contact him this way.
Kagome said, "Inuyasha what's wrong?"
Inuyasha said, "Nothing is wrong."
Miroku said, "Who is it do you know?"
Inuyasha said, "Its Sesshoumaru."
Kagome said, "What does he want Inuyasha?"
He said, "Sesshoumaru wants to talk to me. He wants me to meet him by the waterfall not far from here."
Kagome and the others looked at him and he was looking in the direction his brother was in.
Miroku said, "Well he is your brother. Maybe you should go and talk to him."
Kagome said, "Are you going to go? What if it's a trap?"
Inuyasha said, "I am going and your right it could be a trap but if I don't go then he will take that as a personal insult and he will only get angry with me. Then he could hurt you guys. So I will be back before we leave alright. Just be careful that Naraku doesn't decided to send someone here."
Inuyasha got up and looked at Kagome. Kagome looked up into those beautiful amber eyes she loved so much.
Inuyasha said, "If there is any problem shoot one of your arrows into the sky and I will see it alright."
Kagome said, "Alright Inuyasha."
They all watched as Inuyasha tilted his head back and howled in semi perfect Inu-youkai, Sesshoumaru I will meet you there. Sorry if my inu-youkai is a little bad I only started to learn it.
He put his head down and took off running toward the waterfall leaving his friends behind at their camp site.
Sesshoumaru heard Inuyasha's reply and went back to his own camp and woke Jaken up.
Jaken said, "Lord Sesshoumaru what is it?"
Sesshoumaru said, "I am leaving to go talk to Inuyasha I will be back before we leave. Watch Rin if anything happens to her I will hold you personally responsible."
With that Sesshoumaru headed off toward the meeting spot where Inuyasha would be waiting for him.
Inuyasha had arrived at the Waterfall and was sitting on the rock in the center of the lake. He wanted to show Kagome this place it was so beautiful here. He heard Sesshoumaru arrive before he saw him.
Inuyasha said, "What do you want to talk about Sesshoumaru?"
Sesshoumaru stopped right next to the waterfall and saw where Inuyasha had chosen to wait for him and smiled to himself.
He said, "You like it here huh?"
Inuyasha said, "Its nice. I know Kagome would like it."
Sesshoumaru said, "Do you plan on bringing her here?"
Inuyasha said, "I would like to except I don't know why I feel so weird here its like my demon half is out but I can control it. Why is that do you know?"
Sesshoumaru laughed a little and said, "Yeah I know little brother. Its because this place is sacred to the inu-youkai."
Inuyasha turned to Sesshoumaru and looked at him in the waning moon light. He thought it made his brother look more handsome than ever. He wondered how Sesshoumaru looked under the full moon.
Inuyasha said, "How exactly is it a sacred spot to our kind?"
Sesshoumaru said, "Come over here and we will talk."
Inuyasha got up and jumped over to his brother. He stood on a rock right in front of Sesshoumaru who smiled directly at him. Inuyasha had never seen Sesshoumaru smile at all. He liked to see his older brother smile it was nice.
Sesshoumaru said, "Come on."
He jumped into the nearest tree and sat with his back against the trunk. Inuyasha followed Sesshoumaru up into the tree and sat facing him.
Sesshoumaru said, "Come here Inuyasha."
Inuyasha went toward his brother slowly Sesshoumaru opened his arms and Inuyasha looked at him with a curious look. Sesshoumaru waved his hand at Inuyasha who went toward him. Sesshoumaru looked at him and noticed he was being cautious.
Sesshoumaru said, "I'm not going to bite come here."
Inuyasha went over to him and Sesshoumaru turned him so that Inuyasha's back was against his chest. Sesshoumaru put his arms around Inuyasha and knew that he had scared his little brother. Sesshoumaru put left cheek against Inuyasha's head and took a deep breath. Inuyasha thought Is he sniffing me? Why is my brother sniffing me? Why is he acting like he'll never see me again? Wait is he..
Inuyasha said, "Sesshoumaru is something wrong with you? Is that why you are acting this way with me?"
Inuyasha knew the panic had crept into his voice but at this point he didn't care. Sesshoumaru heard the panic in his little brother's voice and smiled at how he was concerened with his health. Sesshoumaru knew why he was worried and knew that he wasn't he thought back to Inuyasha's journal. Sesshoumaru held his hand up so Inuyasha could smell his scent.
Sesshoumaru said, "Do I smell different Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha took his brother's arm in his own hand and smelt him and found he smelled the same so he nodded his head no.
Sesshoumaru said, "There is nothing wrong with me. I just wanted to spend time with you that's all. Am I allowed to spend time with my little brother?"
Inuyasha tilted his head toward Sesshoumaru and saw he was telling the truth. He smiled even though he knew that it would be a show of his weakness. But in response to his smile Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms tighter around him and then nuzzled his neck with his nose and earned a giggle from Inuyasha because it tickled.
