This must be the longest conversation between Sesshomaru and Inu yasha in history! so enjoy!…. Plzzz read and review…..
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU SESSHOMARU?!" The blushing half-demon couldn't take it anymore, he yelled. Where is this banter heading to? When will it ever end?
The demon lord was never one to request anyone for anything so he lifted his hand and gripped the hilt of bakusaiga.
"Inu Yasha" he pronounced his half-brother's name, gritting his teeth.
Considering the powers of swords and the swordsmen, a battle between tesseiga and bakusaiga will take ages to end; Inu yasha let out a sigh of defeat.
"Don't think that I'm stooping to you! …that I'm afraid to fight you! I'm in a hurry. I just don't wanna waste time battling you" the still blushing Inu yasha barked in annoyance, having his eye brows knitted together, eyes shut and arms crossed.
Sesshomaru was having a hard time himself, swallowing his own annoyance that was swelling his body. He had to! He still had needed his 'assistance'.
"and as for your question…." Inu yasha blushed furiously and Sesshomaru couldn't bear the sight; especially due the fact that he was the reason for Inu yasha's blushing.
"It was an obvious one Sesshomaru….. but considering the fact that the subject (i.e. love) is entirely alien to you…." Sesshomaru decided to kill the half-breed for his insolence, once their conversation ended.
"Of COURSE I love her!"
"She's a human"
"So?"
"She's weak"
"she's physically weak; but her heart is mightier than sun. Her love gives me such strength that no demoness's love can give. That strength is good enough for me to protect her"
"Her life is shortest"
"I DON'T CARE! Love knows no time. Nor can it be bounded by it. I took her as my mate for the sake of LOVE…. not for the sake of power, empire, siring heirs and such trash… or even for lust"
Inu Yasha scented that Sesshomaru was about to transform into his dog form and was alarmed.
He held up his right hand in a fist and yelled, "HOLD IT, Sesshomaru! I was never targeting you! I was just pointing out as to how most demons mate and how I'm not one of them!"
The justification was good enough for Sesshomaru, he finally composed himself.
"She'll die very soon."
"I KNOW!"
"you'll outlive her" which actually meant, "You'll be all alone during the rest of your long life and you'll be grieving over her demise throughout"
Somehow Inu Yasha understood the hidden meaning. "… I may not" whispered Inu Yasha hanging his head low.
"…." Sesshomaru only raised his right eyebrow.
"I'll…. Follow her to the depths of hell to retrieve her soul"
"hmmph!" Sesshomaru scoffed trying hard not to recall how he had followed Rin to Hell, "if that was not possible?"
"I'll die with her" Inu yasha answered promptly!
That answer took Sesshomaru off-guard; Inu yasha had said that with utmost confidence, as if it was the most obvious thing for him to do. He was actually smiling, when he said that. As much as Sesshomaru hated to admit it, Inu yasha looked as confident and resolved as ever! This attitude of Inu Yasha reminded Sesshomaru of their father, Inu no Taisho. He has taken after father. He ignored his inner voice saying, 'and you have too'.
"It's love…." Inu Yasha said, in the softest tone, when his mind was recalling the past; from the moment he met kagome till date; "I've been living in this world for centuries; her appearance in my dark life was like….. sunshine…. She gradually changed me…. she taught me how to trust; to protect; to sacrifice….. to LOVE…. I used to be selfish… never cared a damn for another life! All I cared about was getting powerful, by becoming a full-fledged demon; She has transformed me into a whole different person…. After she broke the awful spell that was binding me to the tree, I felt as if I was reborn into this world and I was beginning a new life from scratch; It was as if life gave me a second chance….. to get…. and enjoy all that I missed… Kagome taught me the value of life; to show compassion; to respect other lives; even the lives of my enemies; the need to protect….."
Sesshomaru was taken aback at the striking likeness of his own life with that of his half-brother's. Why is it, that we both seem to be having similar destiny? Not only that, the brothers' first encounter with the girls….. both the girls bumped into the brothers when they (i.e brothers) were in their worst of times, so close to death; when Inu Yasha was bound to the tree; when Sesshomaru was brutally injured; while Kagome actually saved Inu yasha by breaking the spell, Rin was doing in vain, what she could have done to save Sesshomaru. In due course of time, Kagome somehow grew fond of Inu yasha and got attached to him and the latter was protecting the former. And Rin grew fond of Sesshomaru and got attached to him for a reason he knew not, and he began protecting her with his life.
Then Inu yasha smirked and continued "after all, she was the first woman or even the first person who was protected by Tesseiga, when I become its possessor"
Sesshomaru's eyes widened, his breathe got caught and his left hand involuntarily sought Tenseiga. RIN! She was the first woman and person who was protected…. no, revived by TENSEIGA, after I became its possessor! What is the meaning of this? What had father intended when he gave us his swords? Is fate conveying some message to me out of Inu Yasha's life?
The demon lord found the past, as evidence by itself. The similarity between the personality of Kagome and Rin; both of them were kind and selfless while the Inu brothers were mean and selfish in their own ways... how the girls had cared for the demon brothers… Kagome, anxious for Inu yasha "Inu Yasha!" while Rin, for her lord "Lord Sesshomaru!"; how their unreserved love had transformed their counterparts. The similarities were too apparent, nevertheless the demon lord failed to notice all along.
Sesshomaru felt that he has had enough from Inu yasha and that he needs some solitude to think.
The sense of respect for Inu yasha which had unconsciously developed in Sesshomaru's heart, made him bade to Inu yasha for the first time, "I'll be going"
Inu yasha snapped out of his trance, surprised that Sesshomaru was actually informing him before leaving. Being a bigmouth that he is, Inu yasha couldn't help asking, "So Sesshomaru! What's with all these questions?"
"That is none of your concern"
"Grrrrr….." Inu yasha clenched his hand, losing temper again, "and how about those questions you were asking ME, you jerk!? Damn you and your- heeey! Wait a minute…." Then the thought dawned and he blinked. Gradually he made a very evil grin, and his eyes gleamed in amusement and mockery "Keh! Hey Sesshomaru! Don't tell me you're in love with a HUMAN! You're not the Sesshomaru, I know. You must be an imposter! Hah! Waddiya know! The all-proud powerful demon Lord Sesshomaru, being lovey-dovey with a hum-"
***WHACK***
"OOOOWWWWW! WHY'D YOU DO THAT, YOU BASTARD?" the bigmouth barked. A huge swelling on Inu yasha's head.
The demon lord took off without answering. Why should he?
Although his head was paining like hell, Inu yasha was surprised that, that was the first time Sesshomaru had ever hit him, without the least intention of killing him. But something else which his skillful demon eyes noticed, left his whole being bewildered. Sesshomaru's pale cheeks were lightly tainted pink! Am I dreaming?! …Or am I seeing things?!
"Was…. was…. was….that Sesshomaru BLUSHING?" A baffled Inu yasha was breaking his head, what's with this guy?! He's just not himself!
But this time the reality HAD dawned upon him without fail. Inu Yasha's eyes were about to pop out of his head, and his jaw dropped and came crashing down to the ground.
"DON'T TELL ME SESSHOMARU'S IN LOVE WITH RIN!"
This chapter may not be much of a cliffhanger… but the revelations that are made in this chapter are very significant…. but there's still a lot to we must come across in the next few chapters….
Sorry I couldn't bring up Rin for a while now… the next chapter will be full of her…
Stay tuned…. ;-)
Plzzzz review :- )
