Welcome everyone!
how is everyone doing today? Good. OK, now to explain this story. I was reading a few Sesshoumaru fics, and they always make his younger self a lot like his older self. I was thinking. What if he was completely different when he was a kid? Who knows?! Maybe he was! So, this is my take on it. Hope you all enjoy!
Sesshoumaru, The REAL story
Part 1-The Demon Lord of the Western Lands
Sesshoumaru woke up the next morning to the scream of a baby. He got up and went into his new mother's room. She was holding a screaming Inuyasha in her arms.
"I do not understand why he won't drink for me." She mumbled to herself.
Sesshoumaru walked up to them. He tugged on her Kimono, while rubbing one of his eyes and yawning.
"What's wrong Mommy-san?"
"He won't drink for me. I know the poor dear is thristy."
Sesshoumaru looked up at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, why don't you let mommy-san feed you?"
Inuyasha stopped cring and looked down at Sesshoumaru. he giggled and reached out for him.
Sesshoumaru blinked in surprise.
"I guess.. he likes me."
His new mother smiled down at him. "Why don't you hold him, while I feed him?"
"Ok Mommy-san." Sesshoumaru held onto Inuyasha, just as his moomy-san was holding him and second ago.
"Like this?" He questioned, to make sure he was holding him right.
"Yes."
After Inuyasha was feed, Sesshoumaru tried to give him back to his Mommy-san, but Inuyasha started to cry again. Sesshoumaru held onto him and smiled. He carried Inuyasha to the kitchen so he could eat.
"You aren't the only one who's hungry. I didn't eat dinner last night." He said to Inuyasha. Inuyasha was happily playing with Sesshoumaru's hair.
Sesshoumaru found a seat and sat down. He waited for his mommy-san to say it was ok for him to eat. This was a sign of respect. Elders eat first, then adults and childern. Unless, an elder offered you food, then you could eat with them.
Sesshoumaru had gotten used to this. No elder would offer him food because he was a demon. he was different from them and they feared him because of that.
he didn't mind at all. He payed full attention to his new baby brother. Then, a scream could he heard. It was of a guard being killed by someone, or something.
Sesshoumaru got up. He ran to his Mommy-san who was sitting at the adult table. He handed over Inuyasha to her.
"Get in a safe place Mommy-san." Sesshoumaru said.
"NO! You stay with me! Don't you dare go after whatever is attacking us! I don't want you to get hurt." She pleaded.
Sesshoumaru smiled. "Don't worry. I'll be fine! I'm a demon after all."
With that he took off, running down the halls. He entered the first chamber of the shrine, where the thing that was attacking them was being fought. There were two childern who were caught in the middle of the action. Sesshoumaru didn't take any time and rushed to save them. He scooped them up, one in each arm and got them to safety.
"Now, go hide!" Sesshoumaru told them. They nodded and ran. He turned back to see what was attacking them.
It was a very large dog demon. It or rather, he had not silver hair but a light blackish, gray hair, probably from age. His eyes were yellow, and shined gold in the light. He was atleast four times the size of Sesshoumaru. His arms were as thick as Sesshoumaru's body. He attacked and killed the guards like they were fleas!
"Where is the demon boy?!" The demon roared.
Sesshoumaru gasped. This demon thing was after him?! Why?!
"I'm right here you over grown fuzz ball!" Sesshoumaru yelled at the demon. He had to fight this demon. it was the least he could do. After all, he was the cause of this attack.
The demon looked up and grinned. "Oh. I got a witty one this time."
"That's right dodo brain. Now, why are you after me?"
"Because, my phyics tell me you are the one that is going to over throw me one day. So, I came to take you out before that happens."
"So, let me get this striaght. I am supposed to defeat you, and you come looking for me? How stupid can you be?!?"
"WHy you little runt! I will kill you!"
The demon ran after sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru was NEVER in a real fight between another demon and him. So, he ran away.
Sesshoumaru ran away from the shrine. He was going to defeat this over grown fuzz ball one way or another.
Back at the shrine, the guards who were left, were telling the people, what had happened.
"That Demon that attacked us, was only after the boy demon! He is a threat to us, if he stays any longer! Other demons, much more powerful will come after us if we do not bamish him from the shrine!"
Many people cheered. Then, Inuyasha's mother spoke.
"How dare you people call yourselfs preists and monks?! How dare you try to kick out a young boy who can barely defend himself, into a pack of demons ready to kill him?! He has saved us from that demon! How many times, has he saved us from demons? More then I can count. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for even thinking of doing that to him!"
"But what happens when the lad grows up into a killer?" Asked an elder.
"He's right. What if the boy turns on us?"
People started to agree with them.
"He will not! He is now my child. He would never do that to us!" She said to everyone, hoping someone would believe her.
"I am sorry M'lady. But, we can not risk having him turn into a killer. And what if he doesn't and another demon, stronger then this one attacks us? One too strong for him to take care of?"
"And what would happen if one did attack us and he wasn't here to help?" She said right back to him.
They stopped. She was right. He was probably the only thing standing in the way of demons just coming and picking them off.
The people decided he would stay, but only until he reached the age of 11. He would then have to live on the boundry of the shrine's grounds. And he would be aloud to come back for meals and holidays.
The woman sighed. She couldn't ask them for more then that.
At the fight, Sesshoumaru continued to run from him but the demon was caughting up. He was almost on his heals! Sesshoumaru started to slow down because he was growing tried.
'How could this get any worse?' Sesshoumaru thought. Then he tripped. 'Yep. This is worse.'
He looked up and saw the demon loom over him. The demon's teeth dripping with drool and the demon's eyes we no longer yellow, but a blood red.
he could hear the deep breathing of the demon above him. It was sealing his death, slowly, inch by inch.
Sesshoumaru had no idea what to do! He had no weapons like he did the other times he fought demons.
The demon grinned.
"It's time for you to die." The demon said. He went forward, opeing his mouth, to bite sesshoumaru with his poisionus fangs.
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and threw out his clawed hand. He felt his claws hit something soft. Thick liquid dripped down his fingers and onto his hands. It gave shivered up and down his spine. He really didn't want to know what he had hit, but he had too.
He opened his eyes and saw that he struck the demon's throat. The demon's eyes were wide open in surprise.
"Y..you.. defeated... m-me." he said as he coughed up blood.
"I-I didn't mean too!" Sesshoumaru said,not being able to move. The blood now dripping down his arms and onto his clothes. The whole right side of him was covered in blood.
"You- ..are now.. the demon.. l-lord.. of the.. western.. lands.." The demon said, before he died.
Sesshoumaru stared at the body for a long time. Then he pulled his hand from the demon's throat. He stared at his clawed hand.
"How.. did.. I know that's where I had to strike him?" He questioned to himself.
He got up and slowly walked back to the shrine in a trance.
HE got back at night. He walked in. A lot of people were waiting for him to return. His mother, Inuyasha, the two boys he saved, and the elders.
Sesshoumaru walked in the shrine silently, still in a trance. he couldn't get over that he had killed someone with his bare hands.
His mother ran up to him and hugged him. Then back off and looked at his blood soaked clothes and his quietness.
"Sessoumaru? Sesshoumaru. What happened? Are you hurt dear? Please speak!"
Sesshoumaru only shook his head. he looked into his mommy-san's eyes. Then his eyes teared up. He started to cry and hugged his mommy-san.
"I.. I.. I KILLED HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS! I'm a murder!! I'm a killer! I'm a beast! How could I do that?!" Sesshoumaru said as he cried into his mommy-san's shoulder.
"Oh Sessy-chan! It's ok. You did what you had to do. I'm just glad you weren't killed. But are you hurt at all?"
"No. He was about.. about to kill me! I closed my eyes and threw out my hand.. and.. I felt blood on my hand.. and.. and he was dead!"
His mommy-san hugged him. The elders walked up to her.
"We decided. From the turn of events. The boy will have to leave tomorrow morning to the boundries of the shrine's lands." Said the elder.
Sesshoumaru looked up at them. His eyes were puffy and red. "I.. I have.. to leave?"
"Yes boy. You have to leave. But you will be aloud to come back once a month to see your mother and little brother."
Sesshoumaru's eyes widen. He would have to leave his only home?! The place where he grew up?!
"Why?"
"Because you are a demon. And now you have the taste for blood. You may not wnat to, but you will try to kill again and we would prefer it not to one of us." Said the second elder.
Sesshoumaru looked down. His Mommy-san was cring now. Inuyasha was asleep.
His mommy-san was about to yell at the elders, when he quieted her.
"It's ok mommy-san. I'll go. Tell Inuyasha I will be back to visit him whenever I can. I love you mommy-san." He said. He kissed her cheek and left.
She cried into the edlers shoulders.
"It feels like I'm lossing one of my own childern! He may not have been blood, but I love him just the same!" She cried.
"I know child. He was very important to you. He will be back to visit. DO not fear him dieng out there. He is a strong one. As strong as his father. He will fair fine out there." Said the elder.
The woman nodded. She knew an elder never lied. They were wise from their years of life. They knew much more then she did.
"Thank you."
**************************
In case you don't get it about the whole age of 11 stuff, well, in old times, when you reached 11, you were then declared an adult. Go it? OK. u.u poor sesshoumaru. He is going to be left alone to defend himself against the demons would who love to kill him because he's a young pup. ^_^ But then again, it's a great adventure!
