Two shall cast a stone

Midnight blue eyes look on tiredly at the sky above, the new moon was something mystical to watch. Its rays of light was far different then the rays of the sun, it would surround you in a darken hue with little particles like a mini light show. Shivering from the Cold, wind picking up swaying the forest in a dance. There was no warmth to comfort thee or to give strength or encouragement, no protection. Neither the fact his companions were a mere five feet away, he often wondered why was he cursed? It was gone; nothing remained but the unwelcome reminder of who he was what he was, shame and outcast.

Inuyasha couldn't help the sneeze that snuck up on him; his nose was cherry red and his eyes, a state of depression in them. A quilt was placed lightly on his back, he silently thanked them snuggling into it as a life line. He was pulled into a never ending enigma of his older brother sesshomaru. As the day past inuyasha noticed the changes occurring with his older brother. Often days Sesshomaru would taunt and sword fight inuyasha, nowadays he's unresponsive. What the hell's up with him? Inuyasha thought the bastard's getting stupider every day He'd tried everything to offend the Taiyoukai; he called him a bastard, told him on more than one occasion to fuck naraku, he even pretended to kidnap Rin, of course she knew the whole plan, but life seemed too had left the Western Lord.

"Thinking?" Inuyasha snapped out of his silent thoughts to his best friend Miroku. Any other day he would've told Miroku to go sniff Sango's ass but tonight the issue was progressing and he needed another opining.

"Yeah, It's about sesshomaru, he's acting different than usual"

Miroku removed his arms from his long rob sleeve one finger to the chin, "I see, yes we all couldn't help but notice his behavioral patterns, and I'm pretty good at reading emotions even from a Youkai sesshomaru is depressed."

Did he hear right? Did Miroku say sesshomaru was depressed?! At first inuyasha merely chuckled until he couldn't contain the laugh that was begging for release hitting the mucky floor clutching his stomach. "Depressed him?! Ha it would take more than that to depress that asshole, he probably have a spell on him." Miroku rolled his eyes at his friend naiveness, at times he wondered why he joined this group in the first place, a female taijiya with a Hiraikotsu appeared in his vision and he smiled. Yes he stayed because of her.

"Use the marbles that you have in that hallow, inuyasha" Miroku said unfazed by the death glare he received from his companion, "If he was under a hex, Kagome and I would've sensed it long ago." Inuyasha glared heatedly at the monk but said nothing more, he was right, all of them had the capability to see different auras and spells.

"Pffth, whatever" Inuyasha flexed his fingers, "When I return to normal I'll just pay him a visit and beat him into a senseless pile of shit, then he'll return to his normal self of being a dick head" Inuyasha smirked.

Miroku sigh, it was useless trying to get the Hanyou to listen to reason, inuyasha tended matters into his own hands that were most unwise, typically a brawl. Deciding it was best to leave the subject for now, Miroku bid his friend farewell before following Sango into the shadows.

Inuyasha's skin prickled, an edgy uneasiness swept over him, Kagome not far made her way slowly towards him with shippo and Kirara trailing behind, it was bothering the others more so shippo, "Um…guys I think sesshomaru is coming, I'm not really sure because I sense another smell mixed in." Fuck. Not good, with sesshomaru's unstable condition as of now, there was no telling what he was capable of. An irrational powerful Youkai was not to be recon with. Useless, he spat on the ground, he couldn't protect any of them much less himself, if they were to be attack now by him…inuyasha didn't want to go further with the thought.

"Alright nobody moves, Kirara you're in the front transform, we'll wait until we get a visual, if his eyes is normal than we're fine but if not, we need to run our asses off got it?" Once he got the others understanding; all they could do now is wait.

…walking…patrolling…eyes unclouded, a dream state lust held in for mere bit of 300 years. Mine…was often said but the one that was out of his vision was lost to him forever, how could he stupidly leave him to his fate, the boy was beautiful almost a split version of himself, pouty lips, big Amber eyes, creamy filling skin, and had a feminine shape that would put any woman to shame, he was built for strength and yet he's gone, gone from this world, lost forever in his. He had thought to let go of the boy centuries before, the lost of his mate caused him to be bitter and detached, the only other person to bring some feeling in him was rin, but that was diminishing as well. Lately he had been careless, uncaring of what he was doing, causing his dragon and Jaken to worry immensely. Often he would float in the river on his back, staring at the sky, hoping to see him again, to taste him and claim what should've belong to him. His thoughts were broken by his Ward rin, she needed him; he would help her.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin frighten pulled on his Kimono, her face full of the damn salty tears.

"What is it rin?" He said coolly uncaring, nothing more seemed soothing to hide in a corner and die of a broken heart.

It was amusing at times to see her wipe her running nose and face before asking, "I had a bad dream again" She said hoping he can rock her to sleep as he done in the past.

An invisible sigh left him, he was an honorable Youkai a lord in fact, and couldn't abandon his ward for his own despair, without a word he merely picked her up into his lap, Rin feeling content to be in her lords arm rest her head against his armor plate. No Lullabies were sung or a song, just the rocking to soothe her worries. Yellow eyes watching the scene huffed in irritation whispering foolish child, have no respect for Lord sessohomaru before leaning his back against a broken trunk eyes drifting in a dreamless sleep.

The moonlight gleam bright illuminating a glow causing his Royal Symbol to glow…I love you, he often thought. Those affections will only be for him, no one else not even rin.

In the morning they will relocate somewhere else in the western land.

Emotions created, hope, fate, love.

I love you seshamaru…
