Chapter 41

Inuyasha's Time in the Edo Village... (the evening of Rin's departure down the well)

He threw Chieko into the forest and when Fumio came at him he hurled him into the direction of Edo. Sesshomaru did not give a fuck about what his mother wanted or desired because she was not the one awaiting her mate to return bloody and half dead. Sesshomaru's lip curled back to reveal his fangs when Chieko came charging at him. The fool changed into his true form, Sesshomaru's fingertips tingled with half-forgotten abilities as light erupted from within him to slash at the giant dog.

The dog howled in pain but not before he was almost tackled by Fumio. Sesshomaru had felt the threat coming and leapt out of the way of the impending attack. Fumio tackled Chieko in his true form as well. The two dogs went crashing into the forest then. His lips formed a frown then as he sat back down holding Tenseiga to look down the Bone Eater's Well. No doubt those idiot would be back, and he had little doubt that they'd be trying to capture him but…

Fuck them!

He was not leaving this fucking spot until Rin emerged because had several things to tell his mate! And he had several things he wanted to do when he got his hands on Rin again. But mostly he wanted to yell at her for her stupidity. His old memories were sharper than ever before as he sat there thinking back on the things he had felt for Rin and all the many Rins he had known. They had all been the same Rin, his Rin, and the thought was…

Overwhelming.

Yes it was all overwhelming to him as he sat there staring down the well for her.

They were back, he stared at the two sets of glowing red eyes and remembered that night so long ago with a snarl as he slipped Tenseiga into his sash. Without thinking about the possible consquences he let his temper and infuriate beast take over. His eyes bled red, his fangs elongated as his jaw extended with a sound similar to breaking bones as his aura over took him. The two inuyōkai split up and began circling with their lips pulled back. He watched them, Chieko would make the first move because Chieko had no patience and always made the first move.

You're coming with us, he heard Fumio growl. Sesshomaru turned his brilliant red gaze on him then, wanna fucking bet? He thought as he leapt out of Chieko's snapping jaws. Sesshomaru smiled as he enveloped himself in light then came crashing down in his true form.

He was larger than these idiots, were as they were the size of elephants (which was a solid size for inuyōkai) he was a giant compared to them, and he wasn't done growing. He was Inu Daiyōkai, he was Inu no Taisho, and he surpassed his father and one day he'd be larger than his father too. Sesshomaru snarled down at the two other inuyōkai. Chieko and Fumio lowered themselves to the ground, still snarling with their ears flat as Sesshomaru snarled down at them. In this form primal instinct took over and they would recognize their alpha, even when their alpha did not wish to be alpha. Sheer size and superiority had him being alpha.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha came flying into the clearing then, his ears flattened as his yōkai regonized his alpha.

Sesshoamru growled at his brother as he glared down at the cowering idiots who shrank back down to their humanoid forms. Chieko and Fumio glared at Inuyasha which had sesshomar snapping his jaws at the idiots. Only he could glare at the hanyō and only he would show open disdain for InuTaisho's other son. Sesshomaru shrank into his humanoid form then, still glaring at the idiots.

"Who are they?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Chieko and Fumio from the Inuyōkai Pack," Sesshomaru replied as he stalked over to sit at the well again. He was not leaving Rin; he looked at the sinking sun. Had she really only left this morning? It felt like an agonizing lifetime since he had last seen her.

But this morning she had left. It was strange to think that this morning he had been holding her securely against him as she slept and they enjoyed the early morning. Had he really been snapping and snarling again as Kagome again brought up Rin's possible marriage to Kohaku? Had really all only started this morning? He just stared at the orange sky and the sinking sun.

All of this nightmare had started this morning, and now she was gone down this fucking well. Sesshomaru held Tenseiga as he stared down into the abyss of this nothingness where a few discarded bones lay, waiting to disappear as Rin had. Nothing in him could comprehend what was happening, nothing in him new how to react to what was happening. It was as if the world could not resist giving him that last 'Fuck You' when he was finally feeling…

Content, for the first time in centuries.

He would not go so far as to say he felt happy around Rin but he felt content with her. No matter where in his memories she showed up he only ever truly remember feeling at peace with her. And content, as if he held his world with her right there. Whether she be that happy child with her scars, or that awkward preteen who wanted to hide or the moody teen who was hell on wheels or the woman he was trying to get out of Edo unmarried and unscathed.

Yes, Rin was the only creature who made him feel content. It was strange the amount of power that one little human woman wielded but she held him her captive. He didn't know why he felt as intensely about her as he did, all he knew was that she was his. She had always been his. Vaguely he noted that Inuyasha's mate had invited Chieko and Fumio to stay but it didn't matter to him. He was waiting for Rin, no matter how long it took. He just stared at the blooming night, had it all really started this morning?
