SIBLINGS
Disclaimer: Inuyasha and co. belong to the great Rumiko Takahashi-sama *pouts* and not me, but that's ok!
~CHAPTER TWO~
As the little ones grew up, problems with a mysterious evil arose. My siblings, their mother, and I stayed within the castle barriers as a precaution. As we grew, I played less and less with them, but the time I spent with them never shortened. Sayuri and Inuyasha stood to my knee by the time they were three. I was also experiencing growth spurts as I reached adolescence. They both could talk, but with improper grammar of course. Like their mother, I would sit away from them and watch as they played keeping a watchful eye. Inuyasha grew more rambunctious and mischievous while Sayuri grew even more adorable. She was quiet while Inuyasha was loud. She played gentle while he liked to wrestle and be rough, but he never hurt his sister. They were protective of each other. They were the opposites of each other in behavior and personality, but they were very close. They also were close to me. There would be times when they hid behind me when they were getting a scolding for doing something bad.
There were also times when I woke up in the morning with them clinging to me. One would always cling to my head while the other clung to my arm. It was usually Inuyasha who clung to my head. Occasionally, Sayuri would be clinging to my neck opposite from the side Inuyasha was on my head. Why, I would never know. But Inuyasha would have his mouth clamped on some part of my head, drooling. Bathing became a daily ritual that happened twice. We were a happy family.
It was in the middle of the night when I was close to reaching full maturity that the evil had attacked our castle. My little siblings were attached to me again. The castle was silent, but I knew something was wrong. I pried my arm and hair away from the children and quickly got dressed. I heard a faint cry across the castle in the servant quarters and quickly grabbed the still sleeping children and dashed to my father's chambers. I smelled death, blood, and numerous other revolting stenches as I came closer to his bedroom. All at once shrieks and cries filled castle as I felt as if tiny daggers were being flung at me. Instinctively, I dove to the ground and covered my younger siblings who had woken up and began to cry with my own body. My head was pounding and I almost collapsed when I saw my own blood run down my arms. Slowly, the noise stopped and the crash of collapsing beams and screens echoed from the servant quarters and other places in the castle.
I suddenly heard someone laughing. "Poor Sesshomaru. First your mother and now your father." The laughter began again. "Your siblings will never know their mother." The voice was unrecognizable, but I stumbled trying to stand up with my siblings who had silenced in my arms. I ran the rest of the way to our parents' bedroom and almost screamed. Our father and their mother lay unmoving strewn across their bed. "This is only the beginning Sesshomaru. You will be next. And then I'll take your little brother and sister under my control." The evil laughter started up again and echoed throughout what was left of the castle, and my head. I felt the weight in the air lift when the laughter stopped and knew that he or it had left. Slowly, I slumped to my knees still holding my siblings who began to cry again seeing their mother staring into nothingness. They knew mother and father were dead, and I knew they would. After a while, they stopped crying. They whimpered and I let them go to their mother. As I stood, I felt something wet drip down my face. It was a tear. As if knowing what I was about to do, they stepped away from the bed after placing kisses on their cheeks.
"Sesshyniichan?" Sayuri tugged at my pants. I looked down at her. "What do we do with mama and papa?" Inuyasha attached himself to my other leg and silently whimpered. "I'm scared." Sighing, I gathered them in my arms and walked off to the servant quarters. All were dead. Cursing in my mind, I wrapped the children in my tail and began carrying the dead outside. I dug graves for everyone, buried them, and said a prayer for them all with the small help from the children in hopes that they would find peace and not haunt me or the children for the rest of our lives.
I left our parents last. Going back to their room, I asked the children to bring some water from the bath and we bathed their bodies and dressed them. I carried them both outside to the pyre I built earlier and laid them both on top of it with flowers. It saddened me when I felt how much lighter their mother was. Our father was just as light. We prayed as the pyre burned away. They were still burning until the next night, and we sat before it the whole time. The children had cried themselves to sleep at times. It was the second saddest day of my life.
The time between then and when I parted ways with my little brother and sister was filled with hiding away. The evil was still after us. The day I sent them to safety was a blur. I sent Sayuri to the future and bound her demon blood with a bracelet I created before that could never break or come off and would grow with her and erased her memories of her life at the castle. She'd be human. However, I didn't get a chance to send Inuyasha as well, but I managed to erase most of his memories and hide him away from the evil. I had passed out after severely weakening the evil being. He fled and I collapsed. When I awoke, Inuyasha was gone, Sayuri was safe in the future, and I felt the weight of all that had happened fall on me. This was the last time I cried freely. I was truly alone.
