What Lays Hidden... In the End
My name is Sesshoumaru, son of a great dog demon who ruled over the Western Lands. Throughout the time when I was growing into the strong demon I am today, my father fought armies to protect his Castle, me, and his human wife and half-breed son.
I never talked to them... His human wench and the half-breed who had the nerve to be born into this world as my half brother. He was half human and half demon, and I treated him as such. Like dirt to this world that would always be stepped on. He was an embarrasement to me, he had my blood.
On an unfateful day my father died and his grave sight was hidden away from everyone. His human wife had taken control of the lands and his heir became the Half-breed, who was never called by his name, except his mother, it was Inuyasha.
He didn't deserve the name or his title. I was the first son. I should have became king, the ruler. I was shunned for my family and position, I killed those who spoke low of me.
I grew extremely greatful when the jealous demons attacked the castle. They wanted the land for themselves, and my fathers human wife had nothing to defend herself and her dirty blooded son. She gave her life to save his, a petty human emotion.
Over time I watched Inuyasha grow and nearly be killed by the demons of the world. I never defended him at the time which I spied. I guess I felt sorry for him, but thats was before I truely because the terrible demon I am. I soon gave up on him when he fell in love with a lowly priestess that possesed the Shikon No Tama, a strong Jewel that would increase a demons power beyond any other.
I had no need for the jewel, I was supperior to any demon, but I understand why Inuyasha would have wanted it. He grew up with the title "half-breed" and he wanted to become a full-breed. Hah, he would always be a half demon no matter.
I cared less when I heard he was killed by the same priestess he fell in love with. He was foolish and was lead on by his human blood. He was wortless, the world was much better without him.
It wasn't until I was told about the Tetsusaiga, the powerful sword that could kill one hundred demons with one stroke, that I came back to the castle I once resided in.
There were the demons who had inhibited in the castle while I spent my absense on my own; they were easy prey. I desposed of them all but one, a servant left over by my father who had been forced to work for the demons. Jaken, was the toad-demons name, he came to be useful, concerning the Tetsusaiga.
From the heads of an old man and his daughter were combined into a staff that pointed towards my fathers tomb. Before I killed them, the old man left me with one clue, "Seen yet never seen, know yet never know by its protector." The Staff of Skulls would prove worthless at certain destinations but once I got to Inuyasha it proved most useful.
It was odd how he had risen from the dead after 50 years and was with yet another human girl. When I set a trap for him to tell me where are fathers tomb was then I realized exacty what the old man meant. The black pearl within his eye was a portal to my fathers gravesite and the mighty Tetsusaiga.
I couldn't weild the sword but yet, that worthless, pathetic, half demon Inuyasha was able too. I tried to kill him for the sword but he managed to sever my arm from my body.
I had attempted to get the sword from him many a time, I succeded once thanks and unthanks to Naraku: he gave me the human arm and Sacred Jewel shard imbedded in it and I got my hour of weilding the Tetsusaiga and claiming it as mine.
Inuyasha got the sword back and Naraku decieved me when the arm began to burn at my shoulder. I attempted to kill him but he was too tricky to figure out.
I got my chance, he's gone from this world.
I thought my sword, the Tenseiga, given to me by my father was worthless but I found it did have a purpose when it saved me from the day I was attacked with the Wind Scar, Tetsusaiga's ultimate attack.
Toukijin, my all powerful sword matches the strength of the Tetsusaiga, proved very useful when I tested its power on Inuyasha, but I wished not to kill him because of his form. My sword also proved how many human deaths I could send to the underword, but killing them bored me, they were too easy prey.
Then came the day I reached the village where I smelled the thousands of demons battling a pathetic village, and the scents of the monsters were strong indeed. I took my time waiting for the perfect time to enter and test all their strenghts against my Toukijin, but I arrived too late for they had all been slain by a human. I knew not her face, but her scent and it drove me to her. I wanted to see the one who could slay all of the demons I desired to kill; the one with human blood coursing through her veins.
She had died before I could kill her, and I decided to save her pathetic life with my Tenseiga, testing its power for the first time. She reserected.
Her passion to destroy the demon she was persuing was the same demon who gave me the human arm with the sacred jewel shard within it... Naraku. I decided to train her and see what she would become from my teachings, for a human she did fairly well.
I knew there was something different about her but I could pinpoint what it was. I watched her close but not close enough. And I, being such a superior being in the world couldn't identify the fact that she was mixed with royal dog-demon blood.
She served her pupose to herself and some way...me. Humans were nothing but dirt to me and I despised every single one of them, but Rin, she showed me human compassion, something I believed was so weak. She proved me wrong, with no words needed spoken.
*~* (Present: Sessy's POV)
After the battle, it rained with black clouds, indications of deaths. Rin wasn't the only one who suffered the fate of death, but others, who ones around them tried so desperatly to save. I, for once, looked closely at a decised body and felt the pain in their face. I realized the agony they experienced in their lives, but I refused to suffer the same as them.
That monk Miroku survived from his curse, though he lost his arm in the process. The demon slayer, Sango took him in her arms and expressed a strong human emotion, a kiss.
"I love you Miroku, and I wish to be with you forever!" I remember hearing her yell. And I was touched and wanted to experience that emotion, love. "Are you okay? Please Miroku be alright, I can't live on without you." Her words filled my mind with questions I never imagined thinking: Do all humans love? Can the black hearts of demons feel human compassion? Why is their a feeling such as love? Will I be loved or left in the darkness of my heart and mind?
I recall looking at the pale face of her younger brother and watching her show such love to a man who swore a vowe of chastity. It angered me how she carressed the likes of a monk than the one person she risked her life, many a time, to save.
I went to her and starred dead at her in the eye and said, "Does this man mean more to you than the one person that you tried to free from Naraku?" I expected her to break down into tears and feel the shame all humans feel but she smiled and walked to the corps of her younger brother.
"It is better for him to live with our kin in a peaceful world other than this one filled with unlimited choas." She kissed the cold cheek of her brother and sad a prayer for him.
I looked over at Rin's lifeless body and wondered whether the demon slayers words were the truth. Should she be in a world were she wouldn't have to live her life in fear? Should she spend her other-life with those she once loved before than she does now? I turned away from her body...
I watched how Inuyasha swallowed the Shikon Jewel and turned into the human form I had once seen him wear before. I believed I smiled and for the first time believed that he was in a better place for himself. He was right for that odd human girl, they both were interesting characters, it's how it should be.
He was happy when he jumped down the well with that human girl, for the first time in years I've seen him happy. All the days I followed him and watched him I never once saw him show complete joy from just being at peace. Though I despised my brother, I believe that it is right for him to be at ease.
As for me, I never once felt happiness, unless it was destroying my apponents, then a true joy would course through my veins. Love, that expression never took to me until I met her; I never even brought it into my mind until that day her lips first touched mine. I tried to express my feelings towards her but the feirce demon within me took hold and desired to take whatever he saw fit. I stopped before I could do any harm to her.
I told her that "I'll stand with you now and if you want to stand with me forever I'll allow it." I wish I would have worded it differently before she died; I wish I could have said what I was really feeling... that I loved her.
Her human body gave into death that night we all joined together as one and destroyed Naraku, I looked at her still form and thought and hoped that she was just resting, but I knew she had died, I knew that she was gone from this world just as she was when I first saw her face. At that moment I cried, the first tears fell from my eyes at that moment and I pushed the fact that I had my Tenseiga to revive her. So I didn't.
I called from my castle sevants to take their bodies and dress them in an attire as such: Rin would wear a gown fit for a queen, and her brother wore the finest armor of a samurai.
All of my sevants wondered why I cared so much about these humans, but I ignored them and watched as their bodies were burried under the garden which me and Rin first fought. I cried again, but didn't let my tears reach any others eyes.
That was the day I regretted my entire life. I loved no other besides Rin's memory and the short moments we had together. I grew old and the pain in my face showed earlier than any other royal dog-demon. My hair lost its shiny silver color and turned corse grey. The sharp amber in my eyes turned brown over the years and my speed and strength deminised and eventually disappeared.
Now...
****
Sesshoumaru laid his feeble body on his enormous bed and began to cry, cry like he did everyday since her death. He touched not the tears on his face but let them fall inbetween the wrinkles of his once beautiful face. The water that formed in his once mesmorizing eyes drowned his vision and blinded him from the world in front of him. His sharp gasp of pain made his old heart skip its rythmatic beats. His open mouth with its once sharp fangs closed and let no air enter....
The hand holding on to a lock of Rin's hair fell.
*~*~*~*
Sesshoumaru rose from under the pool of tears he was in and touched his face. The signs of aging he always felt were gone and as he looked at his reflection in the water his youth slowly returned.
He looked beyond him and saw green ripples of water stretch towards him and then stop before it hit his body.
"Are you here... Rin?" He whispered and outstretched his hand into the center of the ripple. He pulled and there was the beautiful face he dreamed about having in his arms as he grew older. There, was the soft smile that he dreamed of placing his lips upon and there she was standing as she once did, with him again.
"Are you angered Rin?" The question that haunted him for so long he could finally ask. Was she mad for her death without him with her? Did she wanted to be revived?
Rin removed her hand from his and wrapped her fragile arms around Sesshoumaru's neck. He slowly stroked her face with the back of his hand, being everso gental is if she would break if he held her too close.
Rin shook her head no and moved closer to his face. She reached his ear and whispered something he wanted to hear the most his whole life.
Another tear fell from his face, from the same eye that the first tear he ever cried on the day of her death. Sesshoumaru held her chin and turn her face to him, he smiled a true smile of happiness and kissed her softly. The kiss explained everything he felt since the day she was burried how much he missed her, how much he wanted her back, how much he loved her.
They were in a place where nothing could do them harm in a place surrounded by their love.
Sesshoumaru looked at her brown eyes again and said softly, "I have and always will love you." And there what within him was What Laid Hidden.
