Person's thoughts
Inu talk
*Flashback*
A/N: Thank you all for your reviews! Please not that this is a rated 'M' story for a reason.
Sesshomaru listened to his own heart beating. How did I not know that was Rin?
"Sesshomaru your Father has returned."
Sesshomaru turned his head to the sound of Izayoi's voice.
"Don't get up they will come to you."
Sesshomaru let out a small growl. "I am temporarily blind Izayoi I can still find my way around your home."
The calmness of Sesshomaru's voice gave Izayoi chills. Deep down she had enough worry for the both of them.
She watched as Sesshomaru walked out of the dining room. She had to restrain herself from stopping him and asking if he needed help. All of the Inu-youkai she has met would rather die than seem weak form accepting help from others...especially her husband and step-son.
Her heart sunk as she walked away from him up to the library.
Inuyasha looked at his brother, afraid to speak or even move towards him.
He looked at Sesshomaru's face. His expression was normal, his eyes weren't widener than normal...just icy blue.
He had remembered what his Father had said when he walked out of the school, Kagome at his side trying to keep up.
*FLASHBACK*
Inuyasha stopped at the curb and watched as his Father's car pulled up.
"Why did you pull us out of class?" Inuyasha said as he opened the back door on the passenger side for Kagome.
He closed the door and opened the passenger door in the front and sat down. Tomatsu began driving before Inuyasha had the door fully closed.
"Rin has been taken by Naraku."
Before his Father was able to finish Inuyasha interrupted. "WHAT THA HELL DO YA MEAN SHE WAS TAKEN?!"
Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head as a silent apology to his Father when he heard him growl.
"That is not the only thing...your brother..."
Inuyasha heard Kagome gasp before Tomatsu had a chance to finish his sentence. Tomatsu had to pause for a moment to swallow the lump in his throat.
"Sesshomaru was blinded by Naraku's miasma..."
Inuyasha's claws began digging into his palms. Sure, he and Sesshomaru didn't have the best brotherly love record but that didn't mean they did not care about one another...they have stopped trying to kill one another ages ago...
"How did Naraku even get past everyone?"
Tomatsu let out a breath. That was the question that everyone was asking themselves.
"Naraku had placed a puppet in Totosai's place as well as Rin's place."
Inuyasha began to growl. Not only was Rin missing but now the old man as well.
"Those puppets even fooled Kanna. She is going to help us find a way to get Sesshomaru's sight back and find where Naraku has taken Rin and Totosai."
Inuyasha heard Kagome's heartbeat speed up.
"Kagome once we arrive I would like for you to join my wife in the library. We need to think about the pup you are carrying and not risk stressing you out."
Kagome nodded and placed a hand on the bump of her stomach.
Inuyasha began to see the house. Jaken was waiting outside jumping up and down telling them to hurry as he waved his hands up and down.
Once the car stopped the three departed from the car and ran inside the house.
Inuyasha heard Sesshomaru growl before he spoke "I am temporarily blind Izayoi I can still find my way around your home."
Inuyasha greeted his Mother as she walked up the stairs watching as Kagome followed behind her.
*END FLASHBACK*
"Have you finished gawking at me Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha growled at Sesshomaru. "I wasn't gawking at you."
Tomatsu growled at his sons. He could hear the start of an argument. "That is enough you two. Jaken is Kanna still outside?"
Jaken jumped at the sound of Tomatsu's voice. "Y-yes."
Sesshomaru heard Jaken say he would retrieve her as he ran out of the room.
"Are you in pain Sesshomaru?"
"Does it look like I am in pain Inuyasha?"
Tomatsu was amazed that his sons were attempting to argue again. They are trying to calm each other by doing something they both do on a normal basis...argue with each other. Once that thought filled his mind Tomatsu began shaking his head and listened to his son's slight argue until Jaken returned with Kanna walking behind him.
"Do you know where Naraku is Kanna?"
"If she knew where he was Inuyasha we wouldn't be standing here right now...bakka."
Inuyasha growled at Jaken. "Watch it you damn imp before I run you through with my claws right now."
Kanna cleared her throat. "I have an idea of where he may be. Rather one of two places he could be."
Sesshomaru walked over to the table. With his hand placed on the table he walked around feeling his way until his foot hit a chair. He pushed the chair with his foot then sat down.
Tomatsu and Inuyasha restrained themselves from asking if he needed help. Jaken on the other hand knew that Sesshomaru would kill him if he even suggested his former master was now weakened by this blindness.
"Kanna where do you believe he is?"
Everyone took Sesshomaru's question as a queue to take a seat.
"He is either at the first home we lived in...a few days from here by foot. It is inaccessible by car or plane. The second place he could be is a new home he was building again inaccessible by car or plane."
Tomatsu cleared his throat. "Do you think that he has any more of those puppets on the loose?"
Kanna shook her head. "I do not know. It would be safer to say yes rather than say no there aren't any more puppets and be wrong."
Inuyasha got up from the table and walked out of the room.
When he returned he had a map in one hand and in the other two markers: one red, one black.
"Kanna you are going to draw us directions on how to get to both places and tomorrow we will start searching."
Tomatsu looked at Sesshomaru then Inuyasha. He knows his oldest son will not be able to join them on their search. They will have to call on some old acquaintances for help...that news will not go over well with either one of his sons.
A/N: I know that this chapter is really short. I had something pop up which is taking up most of my time. So rather than not post anything at all I decided to post something even if it was half the length of the other one. This chapter was a filler and also to touch base with Sesshomaru. The next chapter will be more adventurous I promise. It will be about Rin and Totosai mostly. I hope that all of you have a safe and happy weekend. And please remember REVIEWS = LOVE! :D
Peace and Love,
June.
