Notes: I know the last chapter was a little sappy, but I think it turned out good.
He pulled her into a gentle kiss and whispered, "See? Nothing to be scared of..."
Saisyo smiled and cuddled up close to him. "I know that now."
Sesshomaru listened to her sleep before putting his arms around her and closing his eyes also.
He found in the morning that he was being gently shaken awake. He sat up and Saisyo said, "Sorry to wake you, but look at Rin."
He looked where she pointed and smiled at the beautiful music he heard. It was a normal paced song, but it was happy and upbeat. Suddenly he frowned again. "Saisyo, we have an unwanted visitor."
"Who?" she asked, sitting down on his lap so he could hold her.
"My brother,"
A young man with silver hair like Sesshomaru's but not quite as long stood at the top of the hill overlooking Saisyo, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken. He sniffed the air and saw them, then ran to stand closer to them, drawing Tessaiga "I knew I smelled my bastard of a brother somewhere around here!" he scoffed, "And now you got yourself a little girlfriend!"
The Wind Scar flew towards them, but Saisyo stood up and blocked it with her fire. Then she marched up towards him and took his Tessaiga away from him. "Do you even recognize me, Inuyasha?" she asked sadly.
He looked at her like she was a psycho at first, then he began to realize who she was. "Oh, shit,"
"Yeah, NOW you realize who I am." Saisyo teased, giving him back his sword.
Sesshomaru walked up to them. "You don't want to mess with her, now, dear brother. You could seriously get hurt around her." he began to walk away while saying, "Deadly beauty, I call it. You two probably have a lot to catch up on, so I'll leave you to it."
Inuyasha and Saisyo walked off toward a river where he stood in the water and she let her toes skim the surface while sitting on a rock. "How'd you get involved with my idiot brother? A nice girl like you shouldn't be running around with him."
"I don't know, actually. It came about when I saved Rin from an ogre demon, but got sick because I didn't kill it fast enough and the smell made me pass out,"
Inuyasha nodded for her to continue.
"He took care of me... And I kinda fell for him. The next thing I knew, I was spilling all my secrets to him, and I found that for once, someone was listening to me. He doesn't talk that much, but when he does he definitely gets his point across. He taught me how to use my powers, too. Isn't that great, Inuyasha?"
He was staring at the water swirling around his feet. "Yeah, but... Why my brother, of all people?"
"That's just the way it happened. He taught me not to be afraid to show my feelings, and he's so gentle with me. I think he's sweet. So what's been going on with you? You've gotten a bit taller since the last time I saw you."
He smiled. "Would you stop? I not a toddler anymore, like when you knew me."
"I know," she teased, "I just like to mess with you."
"Well, It's a really long story, and some parts I'd rather not talk about,"
"Oh, that's okay, you don't have to..."
"No... You deserve to know. This girl, Kikyo, I got really attached to her in my search for power. We wound up hating each other afterwards because Naraku decided to mess with our minds a bit to distract us from the Sacred Jewel. Kikyo sealed me to a tree for fifty years, then this other girl from a different world showed up and freed me. Her name is Kagome and she is the re-incarnation of Kikyo. At first I hated her because of how much she resembled Kikyo, but then I realized that I'd begun to fall for her."
"Does she know, Inuyasha?"
He looked at the ground again. "No," he mumbled.
Saisyo shot up and splashed through the water to him and grabbed hold of his ears. "And why not?"
"ow,"
"If you're in love-"
"Ow,"
"With her, you need to tell her,"
"OW!"
"or you'll lose the chance!"
"OW!! LET GO OF MY EARS!!"
She did as he asked as he rubbed his ears. "So why haven't you told her yet?"
"I can't yet, I don't know if she feels the same way about me." Inuyasha replied shyly.
"Inuyasha, I had the exact same problem with Sesshomaru, but he showed me that I needn't be afraid. Just talk to Kagome, you'll never know if she likes you back unless you tell her how you feel first."
