Chapter 4
_____________________________________________________________
It was the first time any of them had seen emotion on Sessoumarrou's face. As soon as they had gotten over the initial shock at seeing something other than disgust on his face, he was gone. So was Kinisa, who still had Shippo.
"Inuyasha! Do something!"
"Keh. I'm not going after them."
"They have Shippo with them!"
"Good. One less nuisance." Then he heard Kagome about to start crying. If there was one thing he couldn't stand, it was tears. *gulp* "Uh, Kagome, don't cry. I'll go after them." It was the only thing he could think of. "But only to get the Shikon shards." That earned him a glare. -------------------------
Sessoumarrou noticed Kinisa had gone limp in his arms. When he had touched her left shoulder, she had winced. He should probably check on it.
Once he got far enough away from Inuyasha and his friends, he stopped. He gently laid her down on the moss-covered floor of the cave. He was about to check on her shoulder when her stomach started wiggling. The little fox- kitsune that was always traveling with that girl Kagome popped his head out. He got one look at Sessoumarrou's face before letting out an ear- splitting scream.
That scream really hurt youki's sensitive ears. He wanted badly to through the thing out into the rain, but Kinisa would never forgive him. She always did help out the younger and weaker youki. So instead, he grabbed the thing by the throat and hauled it into his face. He growled menacingly and was pleased to hear a little whimper. "You'll be quite and help me take care of Kinisa. Then you'll explain to why you're even here. Got it?"
The kitsune only whimpered again.
"Good. Now find something we can use as bandages."
He was surprised when the fox actually did what he was told. -------------------------
While Kagome was pacing around, naming all the ways she would like to maim and torture Sessoumarrou (she actually had some pretty good ideas), The others gathered around him. "Who was that?" "What happened to Sessoumarrou?" "How come you never mentioned her before?" How is she so powerful?" and so on.
Finally, he got so fed up with their questions, he just roared "Shut up already! Damn! Can't I keep anything to myself?" That silenced everyone but Kagome, who seemed like she didn't even notice. He ended up relenting anyways.
"About sixteen years ago, my father met another woman. She was unlike any woman my father, I, or Sessoumarrou had met before. She wasn't frail. I think she was a retired taijin. She lived by herself and was unmarried. She said she had served her lifetime and was ready for whatever life would bring her. That, in itself was strange. She was probably only twenty years old." he paused and drew in a long breath, "My father took a liking to her, and they were closer and more compatible than any other couple I had ever seen. We stayed with her for a while, but I knew we would have to leave soon. The people in the nearby village were starting to get hostile, breaking windows from afar, and not letting the woman buy things in town. I was glad, because I couldn't stand to see my father forget my mother so quickly." tears flowed down his cheeks unchecked. None of them, even Kagome had ever seen Inuyasha emotional, except on the battle field. It was overwhelming.
"He got a bastard on her after a few months. One night I overheard them talking. He asked her to marry him. I was in a rage that he could forget my own mother so very quickly. But he was nearing the end of his life, and I guess he wanted some one to take of him so Sessoumarrou and I wouldn't be burdened with the responsibility. I was about to go into that room and tell my father exactly what I thought, but she beat me to it. I remember those words exactly. She said: 'I am content to live out the remainder of my days as I am. You would do well to forget about me. Your warring sons will someday get along. If you don't change your mind, we can be together forever in the afterlife. Soon.'. It scared me the way she said it so finally. After that night, I knew she had something to do with the gods. It is so strange that Kinisa has that same assuredness and command that she did. Whenever I was near her, I would feel this tingling sensation."
"Inuyasha, are you saying that that girl was part human, part youki, and part goddess?"
"Something like that. I doubt she even knows. When Suki, the woman, had the baby, she let my father name it. He named it Kinisa. Sessoumarrou took an instant liking to her, knowing my father found pleasure in being with her. I, on the other hand, was jealous. He played with her for hours, such as he had never done with me or Sessoumarrou. Whenever my father wasn't around, she played with Sessoumarrou. I was glad that she bothered him instead of me, but when I saw him teaching her things, and training with her, I got jealous again. He was my older brother. When I was her age, I used to look up to him. I adored him and everything he did, but he ignored me. Then I began to hate him for it, and we became bitter enemies. I started teasing the girl whenever I could." This statement got him a horrified look from Kagome. "Sango and Miroku and Kouga, and even you Kagome, probably would have done the same." No one could deny it.
"My father trained her. Taking her off into the woods and teaching her special techniques he never taught us. I would challenge her whenever I got the chance. She would always end up crying when I beat her, and Sessoumarrou would turn up. He was like her guardian, her protector. She was I brat, and I hated her. We left there one year when she was ten. We were going to go back my father said. He died before he could."
Everyone was silent. The way Inuyasha said it, his father seemed to know death was upon him. He just wanted to try once more to become a good father. Inuyasha's jealousy had corrupted his view. 'I never knew how uncaring Inuyasha was.' Kagome thought to herself silently. _____________________________________________________________
Hoped you liked it. I told you Inuyasha was the bad guy. Kagome ends up following his example, so everyone follows hers.
It was the first time any of them had seen emotion on Sessoumarrou's face. As soon as they had gotten over the initial shock at seeing something other than disgust on his face, he was gone. So was Kinisa, who still had Shippo.
"Inuyasha! Do something!"
"Keh. I'm not going after them."
"They have Shippo with them!"
"Good. One less nuisance." Then he heard Kagome about to start crying. If there was one thing he couldn't stand, it was tears. *gulp* "Uh, Kagome, don't cry. I'll go after them."
