A few days later…
"You aren't a coward, Sesshomaru," his mother had told him when he was a child. "And I will not treat you like a child, as much as the others would love to spoil you. You represent your father and his clan. You also represent me as your mother."
At that moment, she knelt before him as she looked into his eyes while holding his shoulders. "There is nothing that is impossible, just impassible at the moment."
"What do you mean, mother?" he had asked her with his wide eyes blinking at her curiously.
"You will learn with time." She then got up and smiled down at him while patting his back. "Maybe it is wonderful to be a youkai for you can live very, very long."
Then, she laughed as she seriously looked at him while whispering, "That's maybe why some youkai are very egotistical too."
At the moment she was about to leave him to go to bed, she patted his head. "And I warn you not to interact with the humans. You may understand them, but they might not understand you at this time."
"Why?"
"Because you are youkai." Her fingers ran through his hair lovingly. "You will learn…"
And he had.
Years later, when he looked at the child that his father had had with another woman, a human woman to put it bluntly, he hid behind a tree while the child was in his royal (human-side) court.
They wouldn't let him play with them and treated him badly because he was a 'half'.
Sesshomaru just looked on without anything to say or do.
All he could do was stare.
"I wonder why I'm thinking about that _now_," Sesshomaru wondered as he found a place deep in the forest to rest a bit.
As he sat there leaning on the tree, he tried to meditate for a bit.
"Maybe it is because of the dew left by the rain," he told himself.
It was the same kind of weather when his mother had passed away…
At that moment, the wind changed paths and Sesshomaru immediately got up with alarm. As he turned towards the southern direction, there was Jaken running towards him shouting, "Sesshomaru-sama! SESSHOMARU-SAMA!"
"What's happened?" Sesshomaru asked as his forehead became slightly creased with lines as a sweatdrop fell from his tired face.
"They've begun the attack down south one day sooner than we had expected." In a panic, his shaking voice told, "They will be attacking Kinnosuke-san's village within a matter of two hours."
"Shit," he thought to himself as he nodded his head and was running like the wind until he was stopped by some henchmen laughing as they began to surround both Sesshomaru and Jaken.
Sesshomaru looked around as he lifted his chin up. "I was waiting until you would show up."
"Ah," the youkai with blue streaks and a handsome, human looking face answered and laughed. "I couldn't expect less from the one called Sesshomaru-sama."
"Get out of my way and I won't have to hurt you," Sesshomaru threated with his calm demeanor as his eyes stared at the 'general' with a menacing look.
"I'm sorry…" the blue-streaked youkai answered as he threw the covering off his pole and pointed it towards Sesshomaru. "…but we'll have to stop you here."
It was then that they started to fight…
In the meanwhile, Rin's eyes immediately opened as the pain of her baby's kicks were a bit violent. "Wh-What's wrong?"
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" she screamed in pain and Kinnosuke came to her side as she huffed and puffed while pulling on his arms to get up.
She was sweatdropping as she breathlessly told him, "They're coming. They're coming NOW."
"What?!" Kinnosuke shouted as he looked at Rin. "How?"
Rin did nothing but her shake her head as she cringed her hand on her kimono. "The baby's reacting to something…"
At that moment, Rin nodded at Kinnosuke as she squeezed his hand. "Get them ready. We still have a little time."
He nodded as he left to get someone to look after her while he assembled the village to be ready to be attacked as well as getting the others to safety.
Sesshomaru, on the other side of the kingdom, had his lips bleeding as he pushed the pole back with the scabbard of his sword.
Jaken had dealt with some of the youkai, but he couldn't go close enough to Sesshomaru while more came to attack him.
"Merodi-sama shall get what's rightfully hers," the youkai told him as he pushed the pole further in an attempt to choke Sesshomaru.
"You're talking nonsense," Sesshomaru answered while grating his teeth. "What the hell are you here for? You're wasting my time."
"I'm here to pick you up." The handsome youkai shook his head. "But, Sesshomaru-sama, how could you disgrace us youkai by mating with a human?!"
Sesshomaru, who was already tired, tried to keep his cool and strength up. The only thing keeping him going was his bloodline's undying pride and the fact that Rin was waiting for him.
He thought to himself as his veins were pulsating violently under his skin, "Rin is waiting for me…"
"And you will say this to me?!" he shouted as his eyes became quite dark.
He then growled as he began to see nothing but red.
The other henchmen around them were backing away a little as they saw the swirling of dark, dark aura around Sesshomaru.
The blue-streaked youkai still struggled to kill Sesshomaru…
…but it was too late.
It became silent as Jaken looked over to his master…
…was it really him?
At that moment, Sesshomaru growled while the youkai who was going to be in his mercy smiled widely at him as if remembering something.
"ACK!" The pole was dropped and Sesshomaru grabbed the neck of that sorry being that had kept him from getting where he needed to be. While grabbing onto Sesshomaru's arm, it was no use at all because he was choking to death.
He whispered into Sesshomaru's ear and Sesshomaru laughed sinisterly while looking at the lot around him.
The other youkai tried to protect their master, but it was then that Sesshomaru squeezed more on the neck until a loud snap was heard.
"Please don't kill us!" the others begged.
He smiled and licked the blood from lips while shaking his head. "Wrong."
"Sesshomaru-sama?" Jaken whispered in utter fear as he saw Sesshomaru left him with a glance…
…as if he had never seen him before.
As he ran through the forest towards Rin's direction, Sesshomaru's white clothing was soaked with blood.
It dripped and dripped behind him, staining everything it touched…
Over and over, he remembered what his friend had whispered into his ear,
"Welcome back, Seth."

Author's note: An interesting turn of events, ne? I hope it's as exciting for you as it's been for me. ^_^
Kaeru – literally means 'to return (home)' but I'm also using it as a pun to mean 'revert back to' also.
