Enchanted Circle
Chapter 5
Sessho- Maru woke up to the sound of the winds outside, they scared Sessho slightly because he knew what rode on those winds, and being mortal.... It made him venerable to the creatures of immortality. He crawled out of bed, and headed onto the porch, to find a black haired, yellow eyed boy standing there. "Hey, Sesshi, couldn't you sleep?", the familiar tone of Inu's voice came from the boy's lips.
Shessho nodded, walking carefully towards the strange being. "Don't worry, it's me, Inu- Yasha. Only right now as mortal as you are...", Inu sighed, "The new moon is the time of my power becoming weakened.",
Sessho blinked, he looked up at his younger half- brother, carefully. He spotted the cut on Inu's left hand, before Inu hid it behind his body. Sessho pointed, firmly glaring at Inu. "I just fell out of the tree I was napping in.", Inu explained, "It'll be okay in the morning. No offense, but, compared to being demon, humans are frail, even though I admit some are stronger of spirit.",
'Yeah, and now I know why he wants to be one or the other....', Sessho thought to himself.
"Come on, I'll sleep with you in your room, so we can keep each other company..." Inu suggested.
Sessho nodded, taking Inu's hand that completely covered his own with warmth. Unknown to the two of them, a young, beautiful woman watched. She glared at them with ice cold blue eyes, and her white hair flared, she breathed out a white cloud of cold, which froze a nearby flower.
.....
Sessho woke up again about a minute or so later, and gasped. He shook Inu's slumbering body, frantic as he felt the cold wrapping around himself. "What is it?", Inu whined, before waking up fully, "Shit!",
Inu was looking at the ice covered floor, "Shesshi, we need to get out of here!",
".....?", Sessho glared at him and nodded.
"Why the hurry half- breed?", the nearby ice demon breathed.
"Come on.", Inu grabbed Sessho's hand before running off.
'This just makes my whole life a lot easier.... One demon, two demons, three demons, how many can I be chased by in one day?', Shessho thought while trying to keep up with Inu's hurried running, 'I thought demons didn't fight on these grounds too.',
"Inaigo shouldn't catch up for a while...", Inu huffed.
'He knows that witch?', Sessho thought to himself.
"Stupid wench!", Inu huffed, calming down, "Just because I never asked her out, the nerve!",
'Asked her... Out?!', Sessho glared hard at him.
Sessho pushed Inu out of the cover of brush. Inu yelped as the ice demon came toward him. "Ohhhhhhhhh! Inu baby!", Inaigo cooed, "I'm so sorry for scaring you, I promise not to chase you anymore, just hold me baby!",
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!", Inu screamed bloody murder, "Lemmegolemmegolemmego!!!!",
Shesshi came out from behind the bushes. "Okay, I'm sorry for jilting you at the spring festival!", Inu cried.
"You are?", she asked, "You mean it?",
Inu nodded vigorously in response. "Okay! Inu baby, I'm so sorry, but I have to leave right now for the Himalayas to meet up with my new boyfriend!", she squealed, "I just wanted to make sure you have no hard feelings, kay?",
"Right.", Inu sighed, before pinching Sessho by the ear, "You on the other hand.... That was uncalled for and extremely mean even for an adult to do....",
"Mmmmmm.....", Shessho whined, wincing as Inu dragged him off to bed.
.....
They all started off again, Sessho walking behind the rest of the group. Soon, as it came close to noon in the middle of the forest, the others stopped, while Sessho, finding it hard to sit still, went for a walk of his own. Not far off from camp, however, he lost his footing and fell into something. It took only a split second for Sessho realize he was sinking into quicksand. Luckily, for him, Rin broke through the brush near where he was. She looked over at him, before running off, a couple seconds later, she came back with Inu. Inu looked down at Shessho's situation, before shaking his head. "Sesshi, stay as still as you can, don't move an inch.", Inu told him. He soon found a vine that seemed strong enough to hold both him and Sessho's weight. Inu then slowly swam his way out to the now buried up to his neck Sessho. Inu went as far as he could, then, one grab. Sessho went completely under..... "Shessho!", a small girl's voice screamed.
"Don't worry.", Inu said, plucking Sessho from near him.
"Sessho!", Rin yelled, this time happily.
Sessho coughed for what seemed forever, bits of sand covering him everywhere. "I'm okay.....", he huffed.
He let his body lay limp on the ground for a minute, before sitting bolt upright. "I'm.... Talking again!", Sessho stood up, "I can talk! I can talk! Talk!!!!!",
"I think it's because.... I finally talked after many years of not doing so.", Rin replied shyly.
"Well, now, there's a surprise for us.", Inu chuckled, "Something to have a few days rest for, and a nice big party. With lot's of food!",
"Inu....", Shessho said quietly, "I.... I..... I'm not just some little human kid, I'm actually.... I mean....",
"I've known since I first saw you laying at the base of the mountain, only Rin bringing the sword to you convinced me for sure.", Inu told him, quietly, "She wouldn't give it to anyone else but yourself!",
"You mean you...... YOU KNEW!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU STILL CALLED ME BY THAT NAME!!!!!!!", Sessho screamed in Inu's face, "I'm gonna kill you!!!!",
"For what? Calling you Sesshi, Shesshi?", Inu asked, teasingly.
"GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!", Sessho ran to strangle Inu, only to have Inu disappear, and then, being picked up by his collar.
"You need to calm down, and take it easy when you're mortal, you could trip and seriously get hurt.", Inu warned him.
Sessho blinked, thinking about it for a moment, during which, Inu found a ticklish spot on him, and tickled him until tears ran down both Sessho's cheeks.
