Truth, Choice, Broken Heart

The door cracked opened.

"SESSHOUMARU!!!" came a cry. "Why are you here?!" Inuyasha exclaimed in a shock flashing tetsusaigu.

The Miroku and Shippo including Rin rushed to the living hall, witnessing the battle that was about to begin. "Sesshoumaru Sama!" exclaimed Rin as she rushed towards Sesshoumaru, tagging along his fluffy tail. "Did Rin listen to your parents and behave?" Sesshoumaru asked gently with a pat on Rin's head. "Huh!" Miroku gasped. 'When had he become so gentle. This ponders back to the question: why had he left Rin under human care? Doesn't he hate man the most?' Miroku crossed his arms and engrossed in deep thoughts. A second after the commotion had taken place, Kagome wobbled to the living hall with the help of Sango.

"Sesshoumaru? Why are you here?" she asked in dismay. "Kagome?! Sango bring her in for a rest!" Inuyasha cut off in a sour tone. Sesshoumaru, took notice of the weak soul and flash her worried look. There was a minute of silence.

"Well.." said Sesshoumaru breaking the silent and tense atmosphere. Looking down at Rin who was tagging on tightly, "I'm here to clear everyone's doubt." he continued as he stroked Rin on her head like a father.

"Clear our doubts?" Miroku repeated. "You mean on the issue why you handled Rin to a human?" Miroku questioned further. "You mean you had a reason?" Sango second. "Very well! Finished your explanation and shoo!" Inuyasha declared with a glaring stare at Sesshoumaru.

"Yes I have a reason in doing so, and clearing of doubts more than that of what you all think I have to say." replied Sesshoumaru ignoring Inuyasha as he gazed into Kagome's eyes who was blushing lightly. Sango noticed the duo reaction, giving a worried look, 'Kagome, don't tell me that.. you and Sesshoumaru..'

"Fine Sesshoumaru, let's start with your explanation without any further ado! Everyone take a seat, we can't leave the injured Kagome standing all way." Sango shouted out breaking the tense atmosphere. The company sat as Rin serve tea and some snacks which could be useful throughout the 'discussion'.

"I'll start from the very beginning," Sesshoumaru started flashing a look across Inuyasha. "I think everyone remembered that very night where I challenged Inuyasha to a duel. That very morning, I met up with Kikyou.." he paused taking a look at the astonished souls. "You then handled Rin to Kikyou?!" Sango interrupted. "Sesshoumaru sama.. you don't like Rin?" Rin asked with eyes almost filled with tears. Sesshoumaru patted Rin again, "No Rin. Remember what I said you are a human, kinship is the most important to everyone." He paused again taking a look a Inuyasha who was rather shocked.

"Well, I'll touched on this is the later part. Let's continue. Yes. Indeed, I handled Rin to Kikyou asking her to locate Rin to a childless family which can look after her and giving a shelter over her head. I did this because.. I can't protect her anymore. I'm no longer the Sesshoumaru you guys knew."

"What? Are you kidding Sesshoumaru? The great demon who used to slay numerous demons using his sword made of demon teeth is now a creep? Who are you lying to?" Inuyasha interrupted in disbelief. "Hold on Inuyasha! Sesshoumaru, you mean you lost your powers?" Miroku asked seriously with a frown.

"Yes. Miroku. I've been defeated by the demon in my sword." replied Sesshoumaru, looking at his left arm, leaving the rest with a gasp. "The day before, I had sensed something wrong with the sword. The demon had been chanting to be released and find a new owner. Then, I knew it all had finally come to an end. Hence, knowing I have no ability to protect anyone else more, I placed Rin under Kikyou's care the very next day, as I have no more way of suppressing the demon anymore. I had a duel with that demon right after I hand over Rin. It was a tough duel indeed, Jaken was even killed during the battle while protecting me from the slash. Nevertheless, I struggled my way through." Sesshoumaru paused again however still looking at his left arm. "I eventually subdue it, like Miroku, I subdue it and bound it on my left hand. Tensaigu had been protecting and suppressing it till our duel." he continued in a low down tone as he looked up at Inuyasha.

"What! You have a duel before ours? What have you treated me as Sesshoumaru?" exclaimed the agitated Inuyasha. "That's why you purposely picked on this duel, made Inuyasha flashed his tetsusaiga. That very moment, you chanted the spell of power, releasing the demon in your left hand towards tetsusaiga. Nevertheless, you are still battling the demon that moment, hence blood came oozing out from your left hand. It's only at the very crucial moment, you released all that you have and force the demon into tetsusaiga." a feeble voice interrupted Inuyasha.

"What!!!" the rest of the company gasped. "Sesshoumaru." Miroku mumbled turning to Inuyasha who was as equally shocked.

"Yes, Kagome. Tetsusaiga had killed it once, hence only it can subdue it, moreover with it, tetsusaiga will be even more powerful then." said Sesshoumaru turning to Kagome who was rather pale. "Well, I was rather shocked too when Kagome ran up to me shielding tetsusaiga's wave for me. She had seen through everything in a split second." exclaimed Sesshoumaru who was now looking at the bandage Kagome had nicely done for him.

Sesshoumaru got up suddenly, "Well! That's the end of my explanation and I should go now. It seems like I'm not really welcome here." As he walked towards the door.

"Sesshoumaru sama! Don't go! Rin wants you with her!" Rin cried out tagging on to Sesshoumaru. He squatted down looking at the teary innocent girl, "Behave well Rin, I can't be with you now. I can't protect you anymore.. I'm just a cripple with no power. You'll only be in danger! I'm not the Sesshoumaru whom I used to be, my left hand.. is of no use now." said the dejected soul in a low tone, looking away.

Sesshoumaru got up and ignored the poor girl leaving her crying in dispair. "Sesshou.." Kagome called out feebly. "Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha interrupted right away. "Sesshoumaru, wait up!" Inuyasha holding Sesshoumaru back. "Yes? If you want me dead, go ahead!" replying in a die hard tone.

"No Inuyasha!" Kagome called out.

"Let's settle this once and for all!" Inuyasha snapped off. "You change because of Kagome, don't you. In other words.. you have fallen for Kagome.. Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha continued sternly.

"What?" Miroku and Shippo gasped! "Kagome.. you.." Sango whispered as she looked at Kagome who was looking away, trying to avoid Inuyasha's eye contact.

Inuyasha turned away and faced Sesshoumaru. "Since we have fallen for the same girl. We can't decide who she has fallen too." Inuyasha paused and walked towards the trembling Kagome.

"Kagome, you decide." Inuyasha said flashing a gentle sight at Kagome. He drew her closed, whispered into her ears, "No matter who you choose, just follow your heart.. Kagome."

"Inuyasha.." Kagome gasped.

Sesshoumaru turned towards Kagome, searching her eyes for a definite answer. Kagome bit her lips, she stumbled to her feet and went forward.

"Kagome!" Sango, Miroku, and Shippo gasped.
