Blemished Armor
Disclaimer: Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi
Special Notes: After two months and many reviews, I have decided to resurrect Blemished Armor and write a new chapter. I'm feeling mighty proud, because I have dug myself out of the deep deep hole I had hidden my BA self in and I am now presenting you with the newest chapter of...::drum roll:: Blemished Armor!

She swept his boyish bangs to the side, stroking her hand down his cheek.
He grabbed her hand impatiently and placed it back in her lap as he snuggled down further into his blankets, "Okay, I'm ready for a story now."
Smiling her beautiful smile, she nodded slowly and leaned back in her chair, tapping her chin thoughtfully with a sharp nail, she mused out loud, "What should I tell today?"
The little boy scrunched up his little eyebrows, "Tell me that story about the guy that you named me after."
"Alright, but you have to be quiet and let me talk okay?" She raised an eyebrow as she tilted her head to the side. Receiving a little giggle and a quick nod, she twitched her lips into a quick grin before clearing her throat.
"Once upon a time—"
"Why do stories always start with once upon a time Mommy?" the confused voice of the little boy interrupted.
She shook her head, "Shh...let Mommy finish her story dear."
The little boy nodded, as he pulled his blanket up higher, hiding his face until only his eyes showed.
"Once upon a time, when the world was still young, before there had been war and famine, there had been something called peace.
It was beautiful, peace that was, but at that time, there had been no one to enjoy it.
The Creator had grown upset, waving a hand over the grassy hill-lands and the blue blue sky, he roared, "What is the point of having such beauty if there is none to appreciate it?"
So he created yet another being.
Using his own two hands, he grabbed the soil from the fertile ground and molded it into a perfect shape, slightly ovate for the head, lithe strong midsection for the body and lastly, two long lean legs on the bottom. When he brushed the perfect creation with his lips, it started to grow in front of his eyes, the arms slowly stretching out of the body, eyes slowly opening to the purest shade of amber and silver hair streaming from its once bald head. By the time it was ready, it was beautiful.
Unsatisfied with one, he created another, only this time; it had eyes the color of blood and hair as black as a raven's wing. The third with eyes of sapphires, and hair as dark as charcoal.
Ten days had passed by, and by the time he finished, the perfect race was created.
The Mysticals.
They were truly extraordinary, each Mystical was separated at birth into the three chosen tribes, the Gold, Blue and Red.
The Gold tribe was their strength, Blue their beauty and Red their trickeries.
Each of the Mysticals were beautiful, the Creator taking his time to creating them, the Gold known for their silver hair and golden eyes, the Blue known for their black hair and blue eyes and the last, Red known for their black hair and red eyes.
Through the three tribes, the Mysticals were made, each with their differences, allowing them all to become as one.
There had been three friends, each from a different tribe, one known for her optimistic personality, another for his amazing strength and the last for his well-planned pranks.
Their friendship was a happy one, each having their differences, yet, nothing could fully separate them—or at least they thought so.
As time went by, a deeper bond was made between the maturing blue-eyed woman and her silver-haired friend, both forgetting about their red-eyed friend.
The Gold and Blue tribe had found out of this growing relationship, and had taken to liberty to immediately reinforce it, permitting the two to be mated.
Unknown to them, their old companion was watching their every touch, every kiss and every laugh. And unknown to them was the fact that the silver-haired man was not the only one that loved the young woman, and unknown to them was that the red-eyed Mystical was not going to stand by and watch.
The Creator above smiled patiently at the jealous Mystical, reaching down to plant a seed of doubt in his once-pure heart.
'This was where it will begin...'
On their mating ceremony night, chaos resumed as the jealous red-eyed Mystical stormed in overturning tables and smashing the delicate porcelain cups.
His two friends rushed to his side, hoping to placate him, only causing the jealous Mystical to lash out violently, accidentally injuring the objects of his affection as she blocked the blow meant for her lover.
Stricken with pain and rage, the silver-haired Mystical rushed in head-first, engaging in a fierce battle with his long-time friend.
The fight did not last long, before both fell to their knees covered in crimson.
"Why have you done such a thing Naraku?" the blue-eyed Mystical whimpered as the blood flowed between her fingers.
"It is fairly simple," Naraku whispered back as he allowed his thick curtain of black hair to hide his eyes, "He took you away from me."
The silver-haired Mystical crawled over to the dying woman as he cradled her head in his lap, "We'll soon be together..."
The young woman smiled, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you. I," she convulsed once, "love-you." She choked on her own blood as her blue eyes started dimming.
Naraku watched all this with darkening eyes, mentally cursing the silver-haired man for taking away his beloved.
The silver-haired Mystical smiled, and opened his mouth to reply, but was interrupted by Naraku's harsh whisper, "I curse you both! In the next life and the life after that, you will remain as enemies, never to love, always against the other. One will scorn the second; the second will loathe the first. Never are you to be together!"
Golden eyes crinkled into a smile as he felt his vision blur, clutching the girl in his arms, he murmured slowly, "I-love-you..."
Just before Naraku's words could be fully placed on the two lovers, a stream of silver shot out through the smoky fog, clearing a hole into the miasma before it settled into both their bodies.
The next day, the three tribes walked into the gruesome sight, the young woman Kagome and her true love Sesshoumaru gone. In the middle of the bloody battlefield were three orbs, one flashing a deep blue, the other gold and the last a blood red.
Unknown to the three tribes their time was growing short, in due time, the three orbs will shatter, ending the race known as the Mysticals, only to be replaced with the blue orb containing the first human, the gold one, containing the first Kami, and the red one, containing the first demon.
Little did they know that the once perfect world of Mysticals was to be turned into a world where Kami hated demons, demons scorned humans and humans to fear both.
The once peaceful world
Because of the Red tribe member, Naraku's jealousy, the world had unknowingly taken its first turn."
"So what happened to Sesshoumaru and Kagome, Mommy?" The little boy asked, stifling a yawn.
"Well, Sesshoumaru is right here," she replied, pinching his nose.
Giggling, Sesshoumaru crawled deeper into his blankets, "No Mommy, girls are gross, the Sesshoumaru in the story falls in love with the girl Kagome, I don't wanna fall in love."
Rei smiled, "That's not for you to decide Sesshoumaru."
The little boy frowned, his silver hair mussed up on his pillow, "I can so decide. It's my life! That's what Daddy told me."
Sighing, Rei knelt down and placed a soft kiss on her son's forehead, "Just you wait my little Sesshoumaru, now go to sleep."
Yawning, effectively showing off his little fangs, Sesshoumaru stretched his chubby arms above his head and nodded drowsily, smacking his lips.
"Night Mommy..."
Rei stood up to leave the room, "Night Sesshoumaru."
But unknown to the little boy, it would be tomorrow that he would meet the person that would tilt his entire world upside down...
And maybe, this time, the two lovers, Sesshoumaru and Kagome will be able to have their chance at love...

A/N: Okay, so I did say that Sesshoumaru was going to be in this chapter...but did I ever mention how old he was going to be? ::Ducks:: I'm sorry for this disappointment, but this part is very very very important to the plot and I...well, I really do like a cute Sesshoumaru, I don't think that he was born into this world a cruel, heartless baby. I like to live in my own fantasy world and think that he loved and was loved, so yeah. But just because he's OOC here, doesn't mean that he's going to be like that forever...but yeah. Whatever, by the way, if you didn't get this chapter, it's a flashback of his past.
Responses for my Reviewers:
green (demonchild135yahoo.com) : Thanks for the review, but Kagome isn't bound to a human, she's bound to a Kami, yup. But don't worry, this is going to be a Sess/Kag, it's just a matter of time...
silverstargazing: Thanks, and um, I hope you're not too disappointed in the fact that Sesshoumaru was his cute little self in this chapter, I never did say how old he was afterall...you can't sue me for that!
PegasusRider: Aw golly gee, sphanks. I know, that pairing totally rocks, and here's my...very late update =), and thanks to reviewers like you, I am no longer discouraged!
Arteme: I'm real sorry if you think it's dragging along slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter (Gods, I need something better to do than reading cheesy lines like this off the net) but I really don't like the fics that rush right into the whole girl and boy running through a field of daisies and falling into each other's arms kinda stuff, if it's too slow, I'm sorry. But that's the way I write, what can I do about it? ::shrugs::
Yume: Oh fudge and macaroni, all these "can't wait to see Sesshoumaru's appearance"'s are making me feel so damned guilty, I'm sorry for giving you guys hope!! I really am, but I wasn't lying when I said that Sesshoumaru was in the next chapter...I just forgot to mention that he's a little boy and a totally different person in his past whatever life! And thanks, it's nice to have your work being called original, makes me feel so...huffah, whatever that word means.

samAura : Well, let's not use the term...cheat, secret love rendezvous sounds much better don't you think so? And honey, let me explain something to you.

I'm sorry, maybe next time when I'm feeling a little more reckless and am under the influence of sparkling apple juice. (I'm still underage...)
