Chapter Twelve: Help From the Most unlikely Characters
He woke up with a splitting headache.
"Where am I," Sesshomaru whispered more to himself than anyone else. He brought a hand to the back of his tender head and winced, pulling back he saw blood. His blood. All the memories of the incident came rushing back. Sesshomaru searched the room and let loose a howl of anger.
"Where is she," he growled punching the brick wall closes to him forming a crack. He repeated to abuse the wall until his fist was bloody and sore. He could hardly move his hands. "Where is my mate," he roared again kicking an empty crate across the room into a wall causing splinters to fly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk the famous stotic Sesshomaru loosing his temper. If you keep this up we might have to chain you up," laughed a man from the shadows.
"Where is she," Sesshomaru turned to face the intruder. Even with his advanced eyesight he couldn't catch wind of who the man was. He saw an outline and that was all. Sesshomaru couldn't help, but recognize the voice from somewhere.
"Where is who," teased the man.
"You know exactly who I am talking about. Now where is she," Sesshomaru barked still trying to figure out where he had heard that voice before.
"Oh you mean the pathetic woman," laughed the mystery man. "What a spitfire that one is. I wonder how she is in bed."
"Don't you dare touch her," the taiyoukai roared. Sesshomaru could start to see red, but fought it back he was of no use to Kagome with his beast loose.
"Yeah you are right why would I soil myself touching a filthy ningen," the man laughed again.
"Show yourself you coward," bit out the angry taiyoukai. Sesshomaru watched as the shadow shifted and the man finally stepped into the dull light of the room.
"I have been looking forward to this meeting Mr. Taisho," spoke the tall man.
"Raden Takahashi," growled Sesshomaru, "I knew I shouldn't have trusted you."
"Now that is your own fault now is it Mr. Taisho," Raden grinned.
"What do you want," Sesshomaru spat.
"You gone and your company to become ours," Raden said nonchalantly looking at his nails as if bored of the whole situation.
"I would like to see you try," laughed the inu youkai bitterly.
"Oh would you now," he said with an evil grin, "bring her out." At his command three people walked into the dimly lit room one being dragged in by the other two.
"Let me go you bastards," yelled the one being dragged trying to pull loose from the other two.
"Let her go," Sesshomaru growled dangerously knowing instantly who it was.
"Now where would the fun be in that," laughed Raden. "Bring her to me," the men holding Kagome obeyed without a word and handed her to the man. Raden had the men tie her hands before he grabbed her from behind pressing a sharp claw against her throat ceasing all struggle from the pour woman.
"Release her she has nothing to do with this," Sesshomaru was almost pleading. His heart was beating erratically at the sight of his mate in danger.
"No, not until you corporate and that is only if I see it fit to release the little girl," Raden allowed his nail to draw some of her blood to the surface.
He almost lost all control at the sent of her blood, "Whatever you want you can have it, just release her. I don't care what you do to me just let her go," he sighed in defeat.
"Sesshomaru don't say that I will not leave you al-, "Raden threw her against the floor sending her sprawling, bringing more blood forth from her nose.
"Shut up wench, no one is talking to you," Raden spat out.
"Don't harm her," he roared in anger at the sight of his mate. "Kagome the children need you get out of here, don't worry about me," he spoke gently to her trying to sooth her.
"Sesshomaru I can't live without you it almost killed me loosing you the first I will not do it again," she cried out trying to scoot closer to her mate.
"My love they don't want you they want me, please I beg you get out of here," he reached out brushing a tear away from her cheek.
Raden jerked Kagome away from the youkai and threw her at the other two men. They left the room with a screaming woman calling out to her mate. The door slammed shut cutting of all noises from outside the room.
"I will be back in a couple of hours with the paperwork," with that being said Sesshomaru was left alone head bowed in defeat. He let out a sorrow filled howl before drifting into a sleepless slumber.
Somewhere in the Western part of Japan
It was once a huge forest now reduced to fields of growing rice. He had worked there for as long as he could remember. He had a simple lifestyle, but always felt like something was missing. He lived with a family of beaver youkai ever since he had lost his memories and so they were is only memory. The family was a nice and kind family and has taken him under their wing, treating him like one of their own. He loved them and his adoptive siblings, but he never felt like he belonged. He wanted to be restless and free.
He was an inu hanyou (hehehe thought that I was random anywho back to the story) and was always at a lost for who he was. He had to be more than some white haired, white doggy eared, golden eyed hanyou that had to disguise himself from the world, but something bigger.
Rosuto was the name he was given. It means lost and that was what he was lost. He thought the name fit him perfectly.
One day they beaver family was working in the field and the day was like any other day. Hanako was the mother of the family and was working in the kitchen preparing lunch for her sixteen children and husband. Twelve of the children were hers and the other four were adopted into the family. All her children had youkai blood in them. Her four adopted children though were all hanyou. Isao was the father. He worked in the field with the rest of his children. He loved all sixteen of them as if they were his own even the four hanyou adopted ones.
They were looking over the crop when a splash could be heard. All who heard the noise turned to see Rosuto on his knees and hands on his head as if he was in pain. Isao ran over to his adoptive son in time to catch the unconscious boy before he fell into the water and drowned himself. The family was worried over their brother and fallowed their father inside who was carrying the boy in his strong arms. When Hanako saw them coming she went out to see what the problem was. Isao told her to open the door for him and get a bowl of water and a piece of cloth.
"What happened," Hanako demanded as she wiped sweat from her son's brow. He was warm to the touch and he looked as if he was in a bad dream whimpering every now and then. He was lying on the couch and Hanako was sitting on the edge soothing her lost child. The rest of the family was gathered round wondering what could have happened to bring the usual brash and loud hanyou down. They were scared everyone has grown to love the hanyou especially the younger kids and other hanyou children.
"We have no idea of what happened he just fell down. He looked as if he was in pain and then passed out," Isao answered his wife brushing a few strands of hair from the boys face. Rosuto groaned and his eyes fluttered open. He sat up and looked around franticly as if he was looking for someone.
"Rosuto what are you looking for honey," Hanako placed a hand on the boys forehead looking for a fever.
"Sesshomaru," he gasped, "he needs me." Rosuto looked at his adoptive mother.
Hanako looked at her son questioningly. "Hun what are you talking about, why would Sesshomaru-sama need you, he doesn't even know you," she asked.
"He knows his own brother," Rosuto said getting up from the couch. He was starting to remember, he doesn't know why, but he had a clue it had something to do with his brother.
"Brother? What are you talking about," Isao grabbed his son's shoulders to stop Rosuto.
"Mom, Dad, I think my memories are coming back. I don't know why, but all I know is that I am Sesshomaru Taisho's half brother, Inuyasha and that he needs me. You guys have been there for me, but I have to go. Let me go, please," his brother's calls were becoming stronger and he was getting restless Inuyasha/Rosuto had to help him.
"We will only let you go on one condition, that you are to return and tell us your story your mother and I deserve to know that," Isao gave in after seeing the frantic look in his son's eyes.
"I promise," Inuyasha agreed. He hugged everyone bye, hugging his adoptive mother last who was sobbing then going back to hug his adoptive father.
"Rosuto/Inuyasha who ever you are you will always be a part of this family no mater what and if you ever need a hand or place to stay you know where to come," Isao gave Inuyasha's shoulder one more squeeze before he let the boy be on his way. They stood there and waved at the departing family member until he disappeared over the horizon.
'Hold on brother I'm coming. Man not the most reassuring thought form someone presumed dead I guess,' Inuyasha thought as he raced to the north. For once the hanyou had thought something through and formed a course of action. He knew that whatever was wrong was something big and he knew that he would need help.
'Damn I wish I knew where Tetsuiga was,' thought Inuyasha reaching the borders of the Northern lands.
Daichi was in the middle of his lunch when he heard the banging on the door. He heard one of his servants open the door only to be met by yelling demanding to see the lord of the house.
"What is the meaning of this," Daichi demanded now in the front room to see what all the commotion was about.
"It's Sesshomaru he needs help and I can't do it on my own," Inuyasha panted seeing the Daichi.
"And who are you and how do you know Sesshomaru-sama," Daichi asked relieved to see the boy has calmed down quite a bit.
"My name is Inuyasha Taisho, half brother of Sesshomaru Taisho who heeds our help," answered Inuyasha frantically. They had no time to lose. "Do you have a room where we can take this conversation privately," he asked.
Daichi turned around and walked down the hall to a room with Inuyasha following.
"Sesshomaru-sama's brother is dead. I have no desires to listen to lies," Daichi said his back turned to the hanyou as he closed the door. He turned around to meet a pair of amber eyes belonging to a white haired, doggy eared hanyou.
"Do you believe me now? I will explain later, but now my brother, your ally needs our help and the help of the other lords," spoke the hanyou.
"Fine I will help. I will have some of my fastest messengers deliver the message to the other lords to meet us at Lord Taisho's manor. If what you say is true then we have to hurry," Daichi sighed. He mentally messaged his order to two of his fastest messengers before leaving with hanyou, who had put his disguise back on.
