Loving the Youkai

Chapter 14: Finding His Angel...

Sesshomarou was on his way to find his soul mate, he had to find her…he needed to find her. Rin and Jaken were by his side, walking in a fast pace to keep up with the youkai. Rin had been avoiding him since the day her adopted mommy had been sent away, she refused to talk to him, treated him as though he didn't exist. Now however, things had changed rather quickly, she hadn't said a word, but she was intent on keeping up with him. She was going to get her mommy back.

With Inuyasha….

Kagome had been traveling with Inuyasha and the rest of her friends for some time now, every now and then, her thoughts would travel back to the one she loved, the lord of the western lands. Through Kikyou, she had learned that Sesshomarou and Inuyasha were heirs to their fathers' land. Sesshomarou was the 'prince' of the western lands, while Inuyasha was the 'prince' of the eastern territory. All of this information had surprised Kagome, though, it really no longer mattered, she had been banished from her lovers lands, what was the point in caring whether or not he was the prince of the western lands…nothing mattered anymore.

Sango had been noticing the serious change in her friends' behavior. Kagome didn't eat, she didn't sleep, all she really did was use her powers until she fainted. Sango remembered what she had said, that she didn't have anything to live for anymore, that she just wanted to die and get this life of hers over with as soon as it was possible. Sango had tried talking to Kagome, but it was no use, the young miko had already made her decision…her life was over as far as she could see it.

Inuyasha had been patrolling the area where he had demanded that Kagome rest for a while when he caught the familiar scent of his older brother.

"Sesshomarou."

The youkai looked up at his younger brother and smirked, he was about to say something when little Rin ran to Inuyasha.

"Where is my mommy?" she pleaded "I want to see my mommy!"

Inuyasha had miscalculated how far he was from the group when he realized that Kikyou must have felt the demonic aura because he could sense her, Sango, Miroku, and Kagome coming his way. Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one to catch the scent of the youngest miko.

He watched his older brother tense slightly, then slowly look down at Rin, then back over to the direction that the scent was coming from. Inuyasha saw the immediate fear growing in Sesshomarous' eyes, fear of being turned away. It was a terrible fear that seemed to be burdening his entire body. Yep, he missed Kagome.

It was Rin who saw them first, but the moment Sango locked eyes with Sesshomarou, she was ready to kill. The young demon slayer pulled out her sword and charged at the demon, she wanted to see him die for hurting her friend. Miroku was right behind her, staff in hand, prepared to kill the bastard. Kagome and Kikyou were slightly behind the rest of the group, but Kagome had noticed her friends draw their weapons, so she and Kikyou ran to catch up.

Sango struck at Sesshomarou, she had missed the first two time, but the third, she struck his side with her sharp blade, causing him to double over, and little Rin to run to his side.

"Daddy!" she screamed, then looking to Sango and Miroku, she cried: "Onegeii, don't hurt my daddy!"

Kagome had heard Rins' screams and picked up her pace. 'Is he really here? What are they doing to him? Am I going to make it in time?' her thoughts were racing.

Inuyasha tried to talk his friends out of killing Sesshomarou, but to no avail, they wanted him dead for hurting Kagome.

Sesshomarou had pushed Rin away from him to keep her from getting hurt, he couldn't lose both of them, not when he had already lost is mate. Four blows to his body later and the great youkai lord was on his knees, blood rushing everywhere, he looked over to Inuyasha, who he had pushed away earlier and spook, though his words were pained by his broken body.

"Tell Kagome that I'm sorry and I love her more than I love my own life, take care of Rin for me, onegeii, don't let my angel see me like this, don't let her see just how weak I am, just…just…tell her…tell her that I …I…I love her, and that she was my world, I will wait for her, if it takes all…eternity." his head dropped along with his body, he was shaking, but not just from the loss of blood, but the sobs that now racked his body.

"Tell her goodbye, utsukushii for me, onegeii little brother, tell her for me…"

Little did he know that Kagome had been standing just behind one of the trees and had heard every word that her lover had spoken. Tears ran down her pale cheeks, her lover had let himself be tormented when he could have fought back, he did all of this for her.

"She will be so much happier without me around…I just know it." Sesshomarou was running out of time, he looked up at Sango and spook quietly: "Kill me. I don't want my angel to suffer anymore, onegeii, kill me, my life means nothing without her in it, I want to die. Kill me."

That was all she wanted to hear.

"Shut up." her words were stern but very loving.

"Mommy!" Rin screamed

"Don't you ever say that I would be happier if you were dead, I couldn't live knowing that you died because of me."

She reached out to stroke his tear and blood stained cheek.

"I love you, you mean everything to me, all I ask of you is an apology, and I heard what you told Inuyasha, yes koi, I forgive you." she smiled taking his hand in her own she leaned down and kissed his lips.

The moment their lips touched, a soft blue light enveloped her body and without hesitation, enveloped his as well. Within moments the blood on his body began to disappear. He opened his eyes and looked at his beautiful angel.

"Arigato, utsukushii. I love you…come back home…onegeii…" with those last words, he fainted and fell onto her chest, she wiped away her tears and smiled, looking up at Inuyasha.

"Can you carry him, back to the hut, I will need to finish cleaning his wounds, and I am sure Rin is hungry." she looked over at Rin "ne?"

The little girl smiled with delight. "Momma, are you gonna come back home with us when daddy is all better?"

Kagome smiled at the small child, she was rather smart for her age.

"Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way."
