Chapter 6: Sesshoumaru's Confession
Inu-Yasha opened his eyes. "He almost killed me," He thought as he came to his feet. He sniffed the air and picked up a scent that he hadn't noticed before. "Is that," He thought, and sniffed the air again, "Yes, it has to be, its Sesshoumaru." Inu-Yasha followed the scent until he came to a door marked "Cloning Tubes 30-40." He walked through the door to find a large empty room. There were ten pairs of large tubes in a long row with computers in front of each pair. The third pair down was marked 32A and 32B, and in 32A, Sesshoumaru stood in a blue liquid.
"How can I talk to him?" Inu-Yasha asked himself aloud. A digital voice from a computer marked "Cloning tube pair 32," answered him, "Are you registering a request to lower paralysis formula and release breathing mask." Inu-Yasha jumped, when he saw it came from the computer he said, "Umm…Yes." The blue liquid lowered to Sesshoumaru's neck and the breathing mask came off.
His eyes opened, "What do you bastards want now?" He asked, and then saw that the room was empty except for Inu-Yasha. "You?" he said surprised, "What in the seven hells are you doing here?" "I should be asking you the same thing, but there's no time for that. I know that you hate me, but I need your help. If we don't recover the jewel soon the Cabal will take over the world, and they will have no problem killing you along with everyone else."
"Inu-Yasha," Sesshoumaru said, trying to choose his words carefully, "I don't know how to say this, but I…I don't hate you," Inu-Yasha was shocked. Sesshoumaru bowed his head, clearly finding this hard to admit. "I…I am jealous of you, father gave you the Tetsusaiga, you've bested me in battle many times, and your human compassion got you the love of Kagome. No one could ever love me as much as she loves you."
"She…She's dead, Caleb shot her," Inu-Yasha said sadly. "I'm sorry, brother, you didn't deserve to lose her. Let me be on your side, let me fight with you. I wish revenge on the Cabal for taking me here and cloning me."
"Cloning you? What's that?" Inu-Yasha asked. "They said that they made an exact copy of me, and they were going to add the strength of someone named Gideon and something called Tchernobog." "That's why Caleb killed Gideon so easily, it must have just been his body," Inu-Yasha said, "Wait! You can use Tensusaiga to revive Kagome, I mean now that you're on our side."
"Yes brother, I spoke the truth, I am truly on your side, and to prove it I shall revive Kagome." "Thank you Sesshoumaru," Inu-Yasha said gratefully. "My pleasure, brother," Sesshoumaru said.
"How about getting me out of here."
"Get him out of there," Inu-Yasha said to the computer. The computer answered, "Are you registering a request to release specimen?" "Yes, release specimen." Inu-Yasha replied. The blue liquid in the tube drained out and the glass lowered. Sesshoumaru stepped down, "My clothes should be under that…thing," he said, pointing to the computer.
Inu-Yasha reached under the computer and pulled out Sesshoumaru's clothes. He tossed them to him, and Sesshoumaru quickly dressed. "Where is the Tensusaiga?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Here it is," Inu-Yasha answered after looking around under the computer for a minute. Sesshoumaru fixed the sheath to his side and was ready to go. "I'll take you to her," Inu-Yasha said, leading Sesshoumaru down a corridor.
