I hope you all like Tashimo. He's my fan character, though he's not really like me, more like what I want to be. All you Sessomaru lovers will like this chapter, I actually get to show fluffy...I mean.....Sessomaru, in a good light!

Chapter IV: Two changes of heart
Rio-rouni's eyes began to tear, "No!!!" he rushed over to Inu-Yasi and held her tightly, crying his eyes out. He was full of so many emotions: shock, grief, and confusion that Inu-Yasha would slay his own sister.
With rage, he turned to Karashun.
He drew his sword with anger in his eyes "You did this to Inu-Yasha! Why you -" he lunged forward but was taken down by Terashi.
"Die hanyou!" Terashi raised his own sword.
"ENOUGH!" cried Tashimo.
They all looked over at him, and he stood face to face with Karashun "Where will it end, blackwing? Why are you driven by your immense confusion? Can you not see that we are fighting the same evil? You have lost your soul! Your purpose. Where did you fall into the darkness? You keep killing and killing - with no cause! Soon there will be nothing left! And what will you do then? What will you do when no one will fight? It is not too late Karashun! You may yet be the white wing of wisdom!"
Karashun gasped.
The white wing of wisdom? Yes, that was him, a long time ago. He had not heard that name in a great long time. That was what he started as, in the beginning.
Was it true? Had he really strayed so far from that as to be called the black wing of darkness? Was this the road he had chosen? He had set out hating the sacred jewel, but now here he was, possessing an innocent hanyou into slaughtering his own sister.
Something awoke within Karashun, a light that had dimmed for so long shone anew.
Unfortunatly, Terashi was not aware of this change, and he raised his sword as if to kill But another sword wisped through the air, it was not Karashun's, nor Tashimo's. It was not Rio-rouni's, nor was it Tetsuiga. It was Tokijin.
"Quick Kagome!" yelled Tashimo "Now's your chance!"
Kagome aimed an arrow and shattered Inu-Yasha's spiked collar.
Inu-Yasha gasped as his body wound down from the extreme strain it was put under. Inu-Yasha looked around at everybody who seemed to be as confused as he was.
Inu-Yasha kneeled over Inu-Yasi "I recognize this girl," he sniffed her "Sister?"
"Yes." said Rio-rouni "She was your sister, and I am your brother."
Inu-Yasha eyed Rio-rouni "Well I remember Inu-Yasi, but I don't remember you."
"I'm only your half brother." said Rio-rouni "Your father impregnated a shrine maiden when he was away at war."
"Oh." he looked down at his sister "I did this didn't I?"
Just then Sango and Miroku bursted through the woods.
"What's going-" Sango gasped. She watched Inu-Yasha mourn over his sister, and remebered what it was like to lose a younger sibling.
"It's all my fault." said Rio-rouni, as he embraced Inu-Yasha "I was supposed to protect her." tears began to dwell in both their eyes.
"No." said Tashimo "I'm supposed to protect all of you."
"It's all MY fault." claimed Kagome "I should've gotten there quicker to break the spell."
Inu-Yasha got up, his face wet with tears "Would you all shut up! It's not like you all physically slashed her, I did! Argh!" he beat a tree with his fist "I'm so helpless!!"
Sessomaru, who had been surveying the scene the whole time, drew Tensaiga.
Inu-Yasha angrily turned to him "What do you want? Haven't gone soft now, have you?!"
Sessomaru ignored everyone and made his way over to Inu-Yasi and placed Tensaiga on her head.
Inu-Yasi glowed with a brilliant light and awoke slowly "Did we win?"
Inu-Yasha ran over and hugged his sister tightly, crying into her shoulder, tears of hapiness.
"Inu-Yasha." she said "I had to save you."
Inu-Yasha smiled "You idiot."
Just then, he remembered something, and turned to Sessomaru "Why?" he asked "Why did you heal her?"
"I think," replied Sessomaru "I've learned to cherish life. Brother, I've been too immature to realize it before, but I realize it now. You are important to me, your blood is mine, so now I wish to help you in your mission as opposed to hindering you." Sessomaru put a hand on Inu-Yasha's shoulder "Brother, may I join you on your quest to defeat Naraku? May I fight by your side as I should've done from the beginning?"
Inu-Yasha nodded "About time you came around."
Karashun, however, continued to question. So, he thought, after all they've done, he still sticks by them, he still loves them.
Most Inu-Yasha lovers know that Sessomaru eventually joins Inu-Yasha on his quest. Now you know why. Stick around for the epilougue, which is next. Now get reviewing or feel my wrath. Like always, no spineless flames please, only constructive crititism.
