A Demons Love
InuYasha drew his sword and held it ready to attack. "Let her go Sesshomaru." he growled. Sesshomaru glared at InuYasha "Shut up ignorant half-breed." he barked. This is going to be harder than I thought, Akira said to herself. "InuYasha, Sesshomaru, stop please. Do either of you honestly know what your fighting about?" she said. Everyone stood silently. Jaken peeked his head out from behind Sesshomaru. Kiara growled at him and he drove back behind his master. "Let's go back Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken said "I told you we shouldn't have come. There's no way you and that girl could ever be together." Everyone was startled by Jaken's statement. Had Akira been telling the truth about Sesshomaru, Kagome asked herself. She then noticed Sesshomaru had made no effort to draw his sword or attack, and what he had said might have just been a reaction to what InuYasha had said. It was confusing, could they trust Sesshomaru or not? Miroku and Sango were thinking the same thought.
Akira looked at Sesshomaru with a pleading look. "For me. Try to settle your differences with them, please Sesshomaru, for me." Akira's words repeated in his head as he looked at her. He took a deep breath and looked at InuYasha. "I didn't come to fight you InuYasha." he said quietly. InuYasha was stunned and almost fell over. "Wha...what, is this some kind of joke? After all these years you all of a sudden want a truce. I can't believe that." he said. "Things have changed." Sesshomaru replied "I have changed." There was sincerity in his voice that InuYasha noticed and his face was softer than the last time they had met. He lowered his sword and put it back in its sheath. "Fine." His face showed he still didn't completely trust Sesshomaru but Akira could have kissed him; maybe it would be alright after all.
That after noon Akira and Kagome went down to the stream to wash laundry. They were quite until Kagome broke the silence. "You were telling the truth about Sesshomaru." She said to Akira "But its probably going to take a long time for everyone to get along even just a little." "I don't mind waiting." Akira said "No matter how long it takes." Kagome looked at Akira "You left last night to find him didn't you." she said. "Yes." she replied. "I was so happy to be back but...I just couldn't stand the thought of not being with Sesshomaru. I bet you think it sounds silly don't you Kagome." Akira smiled at Kagome and she smiled back. "No, its not silly. I know exactly how you feel. A long time ago I realized I couldn't leave InuYasha. I went home because of him and Kikyo but I figured out no matter what I had to be with him, and now...Akira while you were gone he asked me to marry him." "Congratulations Kagome." She said throwing her arms around her. "I'm really happy for you. You did say yes didn't you?" "What else would I say." Kagome replied. They both laughed. "I hope everything works out with you and Sesshomaru." Kagome said "I'll try to lead an example for everyone else." "Thank you Kagome." Akira replied.
When they returned everyone was just as Kagome and Akira had left them. Shoro, Rin, and Shippo looked like they were getting along well but everyone else was keeping their distance; especially Jaken who was trying to stay as far away from Miroku as possible. At dinner there was complete silence. Akira thought to herself, how are they going to learn to get along if no one even says a word. She wanted to say something but had nothing to talk about.
After everyone was asleep InuYasha left and went to the shrine which held the Shikon jewel. He stood there holding the jewel. For so many years he had wanted it to become a demon. He hadn't thought of it until now; the reason he originally wanted to become a demon, was because of his brother. When he was younger he had looked up to Sesshomaru, and his brothers rejection had hurt him and his admiration turned to hate. InuYasha sensed someone behind him and he turned around quickly drawing his sword. Sesshomaru stood there. Sesshomaru drew his sword. "Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga, the swords our father gave us. Powerful but in two very different ways." Sesshomaru. "I have always wondered why father gave us the swords he did but after thinking about the situation its has become obvious. Father hated our quarreling. Brothers by blood but never at heart he said. He knew when he died there would be no one to keep us from killing each other. So he had these swords made." "How does giving us weapons keep us from killing each other." Said InuYasha "Our old man must have been pretty dense." Sesshomaru continued. "Tetsusaiga can kill 100 demons in one swing but while I have the Tenseiga it will keep me safe, there for you cannot kill me. The Tenseiga cannot kill only heal, there for I cannot kill you. Father knew he could not keep us from fighting but hoped someday these swords would help us realize our fighting is futile. So what do you say InuYasha." he put Tenseiga away and walked towards InuYasha and extended his hand. "Brothers?" he said InuYasha put Tetsusaiga in its sheath and took Sesshomaru's hand. "Brothers."
