A Miko, Hanyo and the Young justice
Chapter 36: The Scroll
Sesshomaru was walking into the forest, towards the Bone Eaters Well. Rin had told him that his younger brother was waiting for him there, to discuss something important. So he had left Jaken and A-Un in the old miko`s home with Rin.
Sesshomaru was irritated, he had been ready to leave when his young charge told him about Inuyasha`s request for their meeting. So here he was making his way to the well, when he could be somewere else a long time ago.
Inuyasha smelled him rather than saw his older brother enter the meadow with the well. He himself was siting and looking into it. And now after Naraku had been defeated, he and Sesshomaru could finally read the scroll their father entrusted him with.
Sesshomaru watched his younger brother looking into the well. Not moving a muscle, only his ears perked up. The older yokai smelled his surroundings and quickly realized that the hanyo had been by the well three days ago. This was unexpected to say the least. ˝What is so special about this well anyway?˝ Were his thoughts, but for now that was not important.
After a while Inuyasha stood up and looked at his older sibling. Ther were many things to be discussed and one of them was the scroll that Inuyasha still had.
Of all things that Sesshomaru had expected, this was not one of them. Inuyasha reached into his robe, took out a rolled up scroll witch he promotly threw at his older sibling. Who caught it with a clawed hand.
The daiyokai was confused. The scroll carried his father`s scent, yet Inuyasha was the one who had it. Sesshomaru was tempted to read the scroll, but his younger siblings voice stopped him from doing so.
˝Before you read that damn thing there`s a few things you need to hear.˝ Inuyasha said, looking back into the well.
Sesshomaru nodded, although the younger haven`t seen him do so.
˝The Bone Eaters Well is used to dispose of yokai. It is also a gateway between the Feudal Era and Kagome`s time, the future for us in a way.˝ Inuyasha paused. ˝There I met Kagome`s mother, grandfather and younger brother. The Bone Eaters Well and the Tree of Ages are located on their shrine. And things are so weird there, especially the TV, radio, video games and some other stuff I don`t know about.˝ Inuyasha looked thoughtful for a moment before continuing.
˝We also met some brats, their mentors and some other people called the Justice League.˝ At Sesshomaru`s confused look the younger explained. ˝They save, protect humans and capture criminals without killing them. Weird I know. But oh well, me and Kagome worked with the brats on some missions. Some adults didn`t like me too much, I did bit one of them and scare most of them. The brats were Aqualad a.k.a. Kaldur an Atlantean, his mentor is Aqualad. Kid Flash a.k.a. Wally a human with super speed, his mentor is Flash. Robin a human, first kid hero in history, mentor Batman. Artemis is an archer, her mentor is Green Arrow. Miss Martian a.k.a. M`gann is a Martian, her uncle Martian Manhunter is her mentor. Superboy a.k.a. is half human half Kryptonian, Superman doesn`t teach him when he should. Rocket a.k.a. Raquel has some weird belt and her mentor is Icon. And last but not least Beastboy a.k.a. Garfield, some kid who can shapeshift into different animals, M`gann`s adopted brother.˝ Sesshomaru gave the hanyo a look, while the younger only grinned. ˝Stupid names I know, but not the worst like some other ones. Like Hawkman or Plasticman or wathever they come up with. And so yeah me and Kagome worked with the brats after meeting them. That happened before the Band of Seven. Sigh. Right before our finnal batlle with Naraku and after Kagome fought some yokai called entrance exam the mentors, team and us two went to the Gates to the Afterlife. There we ran into Robin`s parents, Garfield`s mother, my mother and our father.˝
Sesshomaru`s eyes widened, because that explained quite some things, such as the scroll. ˝Me and father talked a bit, not for long though so he gave me the scroll. Told me we could read it after Naraku was defeated.˝ Inuyasha finished his explanation.
Sesshomaru looked from his younger sibling and then at the scroll and back at Inuyasha. Then he finnaly made up his mind and opened the scroll that had the Great Dog Demons writing on it, he looked back at the hanyo before reading the scroll out loud so the younger could hear him.
˝My sons, I`m sorry for not being there for the both of you. I watched you two grow in the last year in many ways. Such as the fact that both of you proved to grow stronger and to an extent closer.
Sesshomaru you were not happy with the fact that I left Tenseiga to you, thinking that your younger brother was the favourite of the two. The truth is I care the same for the both of you, you also needed to learn about compassion, kindness and companionship while losing someone dear to you. It may sound cruel in a way, but that was the only way to shatter that wall of no emotions and create a spark of caring for other living beings around you. And it seems you found that companion in Rin, just wait until a few years from now she`s gonna be a young woman and then the sparks will fly. I see you also created Bakusaiga, a sword made from your own body. To create a sword within ones body is quite a feat to acomplish. You are one of the first Inu Daiyokai in history to do so, last time was at least 10000 years is your sword in every way be it blood, flesh or bones it is yours by all rights.˝
Sesshomaru paused for a second and he could fell happines after a long time, until something clicked. ˝What does he mean to say about Rin? He makes it sound as if I actually like her.˝ The daiyokai looked at Inuyasha whom hadn`t moved from his spot. Although the younger`s ears were turned into Sesshomaru`s direction who only continued reading the scroll.
˝And as for you Inuyasha, I`m glad you chose your human heart instead of the demon one. You got Tessaiga to keep your yokai blood in check, to protect those around you and most importantly that you accepted your hanyo nature. You met people who care about you and don`t care what you are, but who you are on the inside. With Kagome`s help you learned many things and your other companions were there to support you on this journey.
That reminds me the paw like crystal that you have is actually a part of your body. Before you go and try to do something to Myoga or Totosai understand the fact that only Daiyokai have these crystals that appear some time in life. The crystal becomes a part of your body around the time you turn 50 (this age aplies for Inu Daiyokai, don`t know for other kinds for Daiyokai). I guess you will never be able to change your form or you will be able in a few more centuries, who knows? But I wish you luck and Sesshomaru do help him if/when the time comes fort he crystal to merge with your younger siblings body.
For now I must say goodbye. As the dead and the living aren`t allowed to communicate for long. I wish the both of you live long and well for centuries to come.
Toga˝
Sesshomaru finished reading the scroll and for the first time in centuries he felt somehow at peace knowing that his father didn`t favour Inuyasha over him, but thought of both siblings equaly. Sesshomaru was about to leave when he locked eyes with Inuyahsa who was giving him a curious look.
˝So… what does the crystal thing do exactly? Cause I`ve been wondering that for a long time.˝ The younger interupting Sesshomaru from leaving.
The older of the two thought for a second before sitting in front of his sibling and explaining the concept of the crystals power, use, dangers and so on. Yet somehow they both felt okay with spending some time together, just like they used at least over 150 years ago without trying to kill each other.
AN: I ship Sesshomaru/Rin and don`t tell me that they would`t make a great couple, because I think they would. And sorry for not updating for so long, I kinda had to get the spark for writing again and there is also the whole school thing that needed more of my attention than writing.
As for the paw shaped crystal, I thought 'what if Daiyokai didn't have their more animalistic forms at the start of their lives, but rather they develop/ get that ability later on in life?' So it came to me, the crystal contains the ability to change from a humaoid to an animsl in a way. The crystal appeas some time after birth and becomes a part of one body around fifty yeas of age (it's different for each Daiyokai breed), but since Inuyasha is a hanyo it may happen later on in life. Of course his form would be nothing compared to Sesshomaru's in size, actually it would make look more like a puppy and not a full grown dog. I'm thinking af him being a bit bigger than Kirara in her own horse sized form, just enough to carry Kagome on his back.
But for now enyoj this chapter and I`ll try to post sooner than this.
Thx for reading and see ya all next time. ;)
