The Cries of Thy Brother

Chapter 2

Miroku was walking along a path alone one morning about six months after Sessho's incident when he came across Sessho- Maru sitting on a tree limb above himself. "Sessho?", Miroku asked, confused.

"Just go away, leave me in peace.", Sessho muttered, "Human.",

"Sessho, what's the matter with you? You haven't been trying to kill Inu- Yasha or any of us for a long while now...", Miroku asked, "I think he's been getting worried about you.",

Sessho glared at Miroku, before jumping down, and nearly falling onto his side. Miroku looked at him up and down. "Sessho, what happened?", Miroku asked, taking hold of Sessho's arm, "Tell me, I promise not to tell Inu.",

Sessho flinched at him, trying to get away. "What would you know, you dirty, human priest!", Sessho blurted, tears welling again.

"What happened? You can tell me anything, I promise I won't tell anyone unless you want me to.", Miroku explained.

"I... Can trust you?", Sessho asked, looking surprised, "I want you to only tell that one human girl, because she might be able to help me...",

"Right, so what happened?", Miroku asked.

"I- I was... I was turned into a woman by an old priest. Then, I was.... I was.... I.... was....", Sessho rubbed her bulging stomach, "This.",

"Raped? You were raped by him?", Miroku asked, "That's horrible, no one should ever be put through that.",

"I- I DON'T WANT THIS THING INSIDE ME!!!!!", Sessho yelled at Miroku.

"Well, it isn't you child's fault. I'll help you Sessho, after the child is born I know a spell that can turn you back into a male. And Kagome will be able to help you take care of the kid, or get ready for the birth...", Miroku told her, "You won't be doing this alone, I can at least promise that, and Inu won't know... Just be careful, and get plenty of rest.",

End Chapter: Next chapter, Kagome finds out, the birth of Sessho's half- demon child.
