********** Chapter 4 **********
"Inuyasha, it's getting pretty late and we've still haven't found Sess." Kouga said. "Do you think he's alright?"
"I know he's okay..." Inuyasha said. "Maybe something's bothering him..."
"Like what?" Kouga asked.
Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders then sniffed the air again.
"I can smell him..." Inuyasha said.
Kouga sniffed the air; and saw the Inu was right.
"Yeah, but it's faint; do you even think he's still here?" Kouga asked.
"I don't think so; but it wouldn't hurt to check..." Inuyasha said.
Kouga nodded in agreement and they were off.
**********
Sesshomaru curled up on the floor of the cave that he was in; on a bed made of moss he had found.
'Could anything that serpent showed me be true?' Sess thought. 'I mean, everyone says serpent demons are one of the most mistrust-worthy demons ever...'
The sound of crunching leaves reached his ears and a shadow was lingering on the cave's wall.
Sess felt a little uncomfortable when he didn't see anything, but the shadow; then a small meowing sound reached his ears.
"Little Sesshomaru, all alone...?" A voice said.
Sess backed up a bit not knowing what to expect.
Then he saw a black cat enter the cave.
'Could that be the something the serpent said was going to visit me?' Sess wondered.
"I know that you have met my serpent friend Sesshomaru and showed you all of the awful things that your friends said..." The cat said. "It's awful of how they judge you when they barely know you..."
Sess looked down at his hands; his claws were starting to leak acid again.
"I'm not sure if those visions he showed me are real..." Sess said.
"What makes you think that?" The cat asked; a little worried that Naraku's plan might have backfired; if Sess ever found out the visions weren't real, she knew that Sess would know it was Naraku.
"I've been with them for so long; and I don't think they can ever say those things about me..." Sess said. "I think that the love they all have for me is real, if it's only friendship or possible more."
'Oh no, he's too loyal to them!!!' The cat's mind screeched.
"Little Sesshomaru, you can't always trust everyone when they say they are your 'friends'." The cat said. "Remember how much heartbreak you've suffered after you trusted so many people over the years."
Sesshomaru had tears flowing down his cheeks from remembering all those painful times; but he came to the conclusion, that the ones he was with now were different from all the others.
"They will never do to me what the others did to me..." Sess said.
The cat gave a small snarl.
**********
"Kouga, we're close to him..." Inu said taking another sniff at the air.
"Yeah..." Kouga said following Inu.
They both continued searching until the sun fell; it was nightfall and they kept searching.
"Inuyasha, I hear Sesshomaru..." Kouga said while his ears twitched.
Inuyasha listened until he heard Sess's voice.
"We can't too far now..." Inu said as he grabbed Kouga's hand and dragged him along with him.
**********
"Little Sesshomaru, you have to face the facts; they don't love you..." The cat said.
Sesshomaru was just about ready to kill the cat when he heard his name being called.
"Sesshomaru, where are you?!!!" The voices yelled.
"Inuyasha and Kouga, they have come looking for me!" Sess said as he jumped up and ran for the cave entrance.
The cat followed.
**********
"Sesshomaru, where are you?!!!" Kouga yelled along with Inuyasha.
"I'm over here!!!" Sesshomaru yelled.
Inuyasha and Kouga quickly zipped past through the bushes to finally come to Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru, thank the lords you're okay!!!" Kouga said. "We've been worried sick!"
"Sess, where were you all this time?" Inuyasha asked. "Is there something bothering you?"
Sesshomaru was about to say something when the cat spoke.
"Don't believe anything they say little Sesshomaru..." The cat said. "They don't love you!!!"
Inuyasha spotted the cat in a tree high above.
"What are you talking about you dumb-ass feline; everyone loves Sesshomaru!!!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kouga was speaking to Sesshomaru.
"Do you know that cat?" Kouga whispered.
Sess nodded.
"What did he tell you?" Kouga asked.
"That no one loves me..." Sess said quietly.
"Don't believe that thing..." Kouga said as he kissed Sesshomaru's cheek.
Sess blushed and nodded.
"Little Sesshomaru, they are only going to use you!!!" The cat screeched.
Kouga yelped and jumped back when Sesshomaru's claws leaked acid.
"Sesshomaru, what's that?!" Kouga asked.
Sess looked down at his claws.
"Little Sesshomaru is mad at me?" The cat purred. "I'm only telling you the truth darling..."
"You're telling me the truth?!" Sess yelled. "Yeah right!!! You keep calling me 'little Sesshomaru' and I'm getting sick and tired of it!!! The only person who ever called me that was Naraku!!!"
The cat's eyes widened.
'Oh no, he knows!!!' The cat's mind screeched.
Inuyasha and Kouga backed off when they saw the anger burning in Sesshomaru's eyes.
Sesshomaru jumped up into the air and slashed the cat to pieces in two flashes of his hands.
When Sess came back to the ground; he faced two very concerned demons.
"You know Naraku?" Kouga asked.
Sess looked down at his feet as he nodded.
"Well, we're not going to return home right now." Inuyasha said. "It's too late and I'm not really up far a battle of nighttime demons."
All three demons went into the cave and had a long talk about Sesshomaru's past.
**********
"Damn it!!!" A very angry Naraku yelled.
He saw everything; including the advantage Sesshomaru's new ability.
"I'm going to have to take things into my own hands from now on!!!" Naraku said as he grabbed his sword and grabbed a horse demon.
**********
Sesshomaru told Inuyasha and Kouga everything about him and where he came from.
They found out that Sesshomaru used to be Naraku's live 'play toy'; that he had run away; the reason why all those demons were after him; that the both of them were older than Sesshomaru; and many other things; also that he knew that Inu and Kouga were a couple.
Sess was so worn out from telling his story; he had let his head fall onto Inuyasha's shoulder as he yarned.
"Sess, I have a question for you." Kouga said.
"Hmmm...?" Sesshomaru said.
"If we're older than you; why do you look older than me and Inu?" Kouga asked.
"Naraku put a spell on me to make me look older than I really am..." Sess said. "He says the spell is irreversible..."
Sess let out another yarn and drifted to sleep.
Inuyasha picked Sesshomaru up into his arms and carried him to the bed of moss. After he did that; he quietly walked over to Kouga.
"What do we do now?" Kouga asked.
"You stay here and look after Sess." Inu said. "I'm going to the lake nearby to get some fish for us to cook."
"Be careful..." Kouga said.
Inu bent down to kiss Kouga; then ran out of the cave.
Kouga looked at Sesshomaru for a moment; then he walked over and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"We love you Sesshomaru..." Kouga whispered.
Kouga went to the middle of the cave and then gathered some sticks; he went outside for a moment and gathered some more wood and sticks.
He came back and went to work on setting a little camp fire for the fish and to keep the cave warm.
**********
Inuyasha had been in the water for probably ten minutes. He planned to catch nine fish so he, Kouga and Sesshomaru can each have three fish.
"Inuyasha, a little busy..." A voice hissed near by.
Inuyasha whipped his head around quickly trying to see if he could spot anyone or anything.
"Who's there...?" Inuyasha hissed.
The black serpent made its way from a branch above Inuyasha's head and started to dangle a bit.
"Right here..." The serpent said.
"You're the serpent Sesshomaru told us about!" Inuyasha said.
"Yes, I am, glad to hear you heard of me." The serpent said; then it jumped forward trying to kill Inuyasha.
"Iron Rebirth Soul Stealer!!!" Inuyasha yelled.
The serpent gave its last hiss as it was shredded into pieces.
"Now Sess can be a little more comfortable now..." Inu whispered.
He caught the rest of his fish and headed back to Kouga and Sesshomaru.
**********
Naraku cursed as he saw the death of another one of his creations.
"I'll get you yet, Inuyasha..." Naraku said.
With a snap of the ropes; he and the horse were off again.
