Sesshomaru was growing a little at this time, he was well on his way of sitting up on his own and crawling around, he was a little curious of all the odd things in Kaede's hut. His favorite thing to do still was tug on Inuyasha's ears and dreadlocks, he also liked playing hide-and-seek with Shippo. He loved being here, even though, his older form would have none of it.
"It's odd. He's well on his way of being a toddler and we've only had him a couple of weeks. At this rate, we'll have to get rid of him soon, because he might regain his memory and try and attack us, regardless of the villagers." said Kagome.
"Yeah, Sesshomaru and humans don't mix well, except that young girl Rin." said Inuyasha, he looked down at the small child who tried standing up and proveing what a big boy he was, when he was barely able to stand up any how. Inuyasha picked up the chibi and tickled him, he giggled and played, kicked and screamed with laughter, and other things, that didn't seem normal to Inuyasha and the others, for it to come from Sesshomaru.
"He's so cute now." said Sango, "It's a shame he can't stay like this." she smiled when he sat down and looked at her, with a bright smile and radiant eyes. Sango and Kagome both awed in how cute he was, and started petting his soft silky hair.
'If only I could be so lucky.' thought Miroku, 'I'd be in heaven.' he smiled imagineing himself between Sango and Kagome, hugging him, and cuddleing him.
"What're you smileing about monk?" asked Inuyasha.
".... What? I was smileing about Sesshomaru he's so... Cute."
"Likely excuse." said Shippo.
"I have no idea what your talking about!" said Miroku sounding outraged, but he wasn't really. Sesshomaru simpily looked over at Miroku, curiously, he crawled over to him and looked at his staff he loved the things that jingled on it. Sesshomaru started playing with them, Mioku just sat there, sweat dropping, he wasn't that good with children yet, although, he still wanted one.
"Hey, Sesshomaru over here!" said Shippo, and Sesshomaru went over, Shippo then started playing with him, mean while, Kagura floated overhead, she looked down at the two young children, playing in the streets right outside Kaede's hut. "Okay, Sesshomaru, wait here I'm going to bring out some more toys!"
Sesshomaru stood there, a couple of women passed by and awed at his cuteness, but did nothing. Sesshomaru, looked around, he was a very obediant, one-year-old, but then Kagura showed up. "Well, well, we meet again." she said walking over to the infant, Sesshomaru stared up at her wide eyed and startled, he was sickend by her poisonous aroma, and he was scared of how she looked, he started to let off a terrified scream, but Kagura grabed him by his mouth and was about to take off.
"Where the HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING?!!" asked Inuyasha walking out of the hut, along with Miroku, Sango, and Kagome.
"Ho, it's Inuyasha and the others, well Naraku has ordered me to bring him Sesshomaru, and thus, I shall." she said smileing devilishly at Inuyasha. Sesshomaru struggled to get away from the odd, and putrid woman, but his attempts failed. Sesshomaru started crying, quietly, and softly, he trimbled in fear, and pailed at the fact, he thought he would die.
"Let go of him, right now!" demanded Kagome.
"Or what you'll sick Inuyasha and his big sword on me? If you kill me, you'll kill Sesshomaru to."
"Not true!" said Sango rideing on Kilala with her Hirokotsu, and Miroku. They appeared right behind her and attacked, Sesshomaru none the less was hit with a wave of poison, knocking him out and Kagura droped him, he fell quiet a fall, but Kagome luckily caught him.
"NOW!! WIND SCAR!!!!!" cried Inuyasha hitting Kagura with the wind scar, thus causeing her to fall, but she summoned another feather, and flew off to nurse her wounds. Inuyasha ran over to Kagome and the half-way alive child, Sesshomaru stirred quietly in her arms, he was breatheing rather softly, his body was cold, and he was hardly consious. They entered Kaede's hut and the old miko, gave him an antidote and laid him in a bed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sesshomaru, wake up. It's alright, your father is not mad at you." said a human woman. Sesshomaru awakened and looked at her, his eyes were cold, like normal when he'd talk to her or look at her, se just smiled and welcomed Sesshomaru, he on the other hand wouldn't accept her, he jumped out of the bed without saying a word to her and left the room, he stood there, knowing that it was because he lost his mom, right when Inutaisho married her and had another son, she just looked at him, with a sad smile and walked after him.
Sesshomaru at that age started loseing interest in talking to his parents, he just enjoyed training no conversations, no anything, his anger built up inside of him, and anger was the only thing at that point that kept him alive. He went outside and was train like every usual day, but then he fell, hurt himself pretty bad, he refrained from crying, blood poured out of his wounds, and he sat down and trimbled in pain, and sadness over took him, he knew his mother wasn't there anymore to make him feal better, to make him happy.
But just then two arms wrapped around him, and started cleaning his wounds, Sesshomaru looked up and saw the human woman once again, this time she was helping him, he started to cry, for once, infront of her, he looked extremely lonely, and in pain. She put her arms around her step son, and embraced him, his tears went down his face, he missed his real mother, he didn't want this one, and she knew it, hewoundered why she would help him like this, after all he said to her, and said about her, she still loved him like her real son.
Sesshomaru's wounds were all bandaged up, his eyes were normal again, still cold looking, but not as cold as they used to be towards her anyway, he actually smiled for once at her, and started to accept her a little, that was untill Ryu-Kotse attacked, Inutaisho went to battle and sent Sesshomaru off one way and Inuyasha and the human woman off another way. Inuyasha was still but an infant and Sesshomaru was well now around seven or eight years of age, he looked back but the castle was on fire, and his father was completely gone.
Sesshomaru within a couple years returned there, he was a little taller, and far more grown up than what he was a couple years before the attack. There was the domain but his father's grave was no where, half the castle was ashes and burnt stone, no one was there, he knelt down, he knew, his father was dead, there was nothing left, but hopefully his human mother, but if Ryu-kotse was still alive, he knew he'd only put his brother and mother in danger, he remebered what his father said before the attack.
"Sesshomaru, I'm putting you n charge of the westernlands, your new mother, and your baby brother, take good care of them."
Sesshomaru stood up and walked over to the domain and picked up parts of the castle and started all over again. By this time one vassle named Jaken came back.
"M'lord!" said Jaken running up, Sesshomaru had just finished, he was well now a teenager, around the age of 15 or 16. He looked down at Jaken, and hit him.
"Where the hell have you been all these years? Hurry, we need to finish." said Sesshomaru coldly, as he looked at the castle and worked again, Jaken stood there a moment, Sesshomaru never did that before, but now that all this had happened, Jaken started working along side his lord without a word said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, I think he's wakeing up!" said Kagome, the child stretched, he woundered, how long he was asleep, he looked around, he didn't know to sure who that boy in his dreams was, he looked at Kagome and smiled happily to see Kagome again, he yawned.
"He's been out for three-days, better not rough house with him yet, or play with him to much, let him wake up first." said Kaede walking out side to go to the shrine.
Sesshomaru hugged Kagome and held on, she walked around holding him, she hoped that he wasn't hurt to badly, and she started talking to Inuyasha. Sesshomaru almost reconizedInuyasha from his dreams, but he thought not, he just did what normal babies did. "It's alright that mean woman won't get ahold of you again." said Kagome, she whispered that to Sesshomaru, and rested in her arms, with his head on her shoulder, he now completely felt safe.
