Sesshomaru's Beast
FD: any author notes (A/N) are the voices in my head. basically w/e they think to interject into the stories, that wouldn't quite fit or background info, or commentary or just something that would be funny if a character said it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, the only things I own are the plot and my OC's.
I Hate You
Sesshomaru looked at the figure and growled.
"Naraku."
"Sesshomaru. Ooh seems like you lost a puppy," Naraku taunted, "What, did she get tired of you already?"
Sesshomaru just growled. Laughing, Naraku said, "Ooh, so she did get tired of you. I wonder how long it will take for the rest of your odd little pack to leave you behind."
Sesshomaru just growled and used his poison whip to cut Naraku in half. Of course it wasn't Naraku himself that fell to the ground but one of his puppets. Sesshomaru then turned and headed in the direction that the rest of his pack went. As he got closer he could smell his half-brother and his pack heading in the direction of Rin, so he sped up. He was almost to them when he heard Rin yell, "Izumi!" Suddenly he stopped and sniffed. 'Hm, I don't smell her.'
She doesn't want you to find her.
'I know this. So she's been traveling with Inuyasha.'
Well at least she was in good hands. (A/N: so apparently his best doesn't mind his younger brother, or he could be trying to get a rise out of Sesshomaru….a rise, definitely.)
'Hn.' (A/N: it didn't work.)
*FD*
Izumi and the rest were walking when Inuyasha mentioned that there was a river nearby.
"A river? We can catch some fish to eat, let's go," said Kagome.
So they all headed toward the river. They had no idea what awaited them there. When they got in sight of the river, they heard a child's voice yelling, "Izumi!"
Izumi's head shot toward the voice.
"Rin! Ah-Un!"
Izumi quickly ran over and hugged the girl as well as Ah-Un.
"Why'd you leave?"
"I had to Rin. I'm sure you'll understand when you're older."
"Rin! Get away from them, if Lord Sesshomaru knew, he would not be happy," yelled Jaken.
"Shut it toad," said Izumi.
Izumi then went back to talking with Rin, but stiffened when she smelled winter green. Inuyasha apparently smelled it to, because he pulled out his sword and said, "Sesshomaru."
"Inuyasha."
"What do you want?" growled out Inuyasha.
"I came to make sure you and your pack weren't harming mine."
Now as those two were talking, (A/N: *cough* arguing *cough*) Izumi was talking with Rin.
"Did you miss me?"
"Of course Rin," answered Izumi
"Do you hate me?"
At this Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stopped their arguing.
"No, I could never hate you Rin," she said while pulling the girl into a hug.
Looking at Rin's sad face, Izumi knew that she'd have a very big decision to make before either group left; she'd have to decide which group she'd travel with. 'What should I do, hurt Rin or hurt myself?' Shaking off her thoughts she sat down by the river by Kagome and Sango. Rin had ran back to where Jaken had some fish cooking for her and Lord Sesshomaru had gone to sit underneath a tree nearby his group. Inuyasha settled down by Miroku who was underneath another tree meditating, while Inuyasha watched his brother.
Kagome turned to Izumi and asked, "You okay Izumi? You look a little distraught?"
"I'm fine. I just realized that I have a huge decision to make."
"Oh, let me guess to go back with Sesshomaru or to stay here with us?"
"Yes. If I stay with you guys I'm hurting Rin, but if I go I'm hurting myself."
"So either you sacrifice your happiness or you make an innocent child unhappy?"
"Pretty much. I almost wish Lord Sesshomaru didn't bring me back to life."
"Don't say that! If you didn't we never would have met you, Inuyasha never would have made me his intended and Kikyo wouldn't be dead…again."
"Kikyo's dead?" two voices rang out. (A/N: Miroku and Sango.)
"Uh, yeah. I killed her last night while I was human."
"Oh. Is that why Inuyasha asked you Kagome? Because Kikyo was dead?"
"No! I went to Kikyo last night to tell her I loved Kagome!"
"It's true; Izumi and I heard it all."
"Izumi!"
"Yes Rin?"
"Are you going to come with us?"
Izumi closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again. There was a frosty look in her eyes as she got up and walked to Sesshomaru. She knew that she wasn't going to really mean what she said but he wouldn't know that and if she believed it enough maybe it would come true.
*FD*
Sesshomaru watched as Izumi made her way toward him. She had a cold look in her eyes.
Uh-oh, we're in trouble.
'Hn.'
He knew that whatever she had to say was not going to be pretty, so he was thankful that Rin was of hearing range.
"Lord Sesshomaru," her soothing but cold voice rang in his ears.
"Hn."
"I hate you, but I will travel with you only because of Rin."
After saying that she walked away to say goodbye to her newfound friends. As she was doing that, Sesshomaru was having a spat with his beast.
She hates us. This is your fault.
'It needed to be done.'
Yes, but she's always been so kind to us and Rin, while we've been nothing but cold and cruel to her. Sigh. You know sometimes I feel like a monster. (A/N: I was listening to Monster by Skillet. Go listen to it if you haven't, it's an awesome song.)
'We are a monster; we're a demon.'
Yes, but we don't have to be cruel. You brought Rin back to life and Izumi. That wasn't cruel; a monster would have just left them dead.
'Hn. I'll try to be cordial to her, okay?'
For now.
"Rin, Jaken, let's go."
"Come on Izumi," Rin said.
"Alright, I'm coming Rin," Izumi said as they darted ahead to catch up to Ah-Un.
"Hey Sesshomaru!"
"Yes little brother?"
"You hurt Izumi in anyway, whether it's physical or emotional, I will kill you."
"Hn." With that Sesshomaru disappeared in the direction the rest of his pack headed, west.
Hey, what happened to apologizing to her?
'Tonight when the others are asleep. I doubt it will be welcomed. She hates me.'
It's your own fault.
'Sigh. I know, I know.'
