CHAPTER 6:

SIN OF THE MAN OF DEATH

A/N: wassup! Okay, um, I hope you guys will enjoy this chapter cause it might be CORNY! I always think my chappies are corny but this may be the corniest of all…sigh… well, I just put everything in. Well, I'll stop yabbering now and let you read. Oh yeah, the man of death is sesshomaru.

PREVIOUSLY FROM LAST CHAPTER

Sesshomaru was in a dark room, his room, holding a picture. It had three kids on them. Sesshomaru stared at one girl in the picture. "Why…why did this have to happen…" he gulped. "Why don't you care anymore…" Sesshomaru stared at the girl in the picture again. "Kikyo…"

PRESENT

"Kikyo…" Inuyasha said. "Are you okay now?"

Kikyo nodded. She wiped her tears on his shirt. "H-Hai…"

Inuyasha smiled. "That's better." He looked at Kikyo. His hour of laughter was gone. He no longer had the crave to laugh. He just wanted Kikyo to be happy.

Kikyo sniffed. "I'm sorry for troubling you so much…"

"You're not Kikyo." Inuyasha told her. He saw Kikyo's tired face. "Now, you get some sleep. I'll come by later in the day." He put her in bed like a mother. (A/N: LOL! Inuyasha…a MOTHER! LOL!)

Kikyo rested her head on the pillow. "Promise me…Inuyasha…"

"Sure thing! I'm gonna give you something Kikyo when I come back." He said. He nudged her cheek with his nose. "Sleep well…"

Kikyo closed her eyes. "Bye…Inu…yasha…" Kikyo easily fell asleep.

:X:X:X:X

Inuyasha opened the front door. "SESSHOMARUUUU!" Inuyasha looked around. "Seeshomaru?"

"Damn it…" a low voice said.

Inuyasha followed the voice to the kitchen. "Sesshomaru…?"

It was Sesshomaru. He held a knife and he accidentally cut his hand.

"Nani…? What's going on…?"

Sesshomaru tucked something inside his pocket. It looked like a map. "Nothing…just cooking…" he dropped the knife in the sink and rinsed his hand of the blood.

"Sesshomaru, what's wrong. You're acting so stupid, bastard."

Sesshomaru didn't look at Inuyasha or care to fight back. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

"Hey! Why are you cooking anyway? We can just go out and get something…you know."

"I'm not cooking for you…"

"What?"

"Shut up and go…"

Inuyasha smirked. "Jeez…baka…" he stomped to his room, putting his hands in his pockets. Then he looked at his desk. "Man…where's my jewel…?" he searched around the desk. He searched everywhere. "Where is IT!"

Inuyasha sighed. "Man…where did I last put it…" Then he got an idea. "I know! I remember I put it with the directions of the hospital! And I know where I put that!" he went to his closet and got on four legs. "Where is it…" he saw a box. "THERE!"

Inuyasha widened his eyes. Hey…why is the box open…? I never opened it…and all the stuff in there is scattered…! He dropped the box. Hey! What happened to my directions! Shit…I don't need it anyways. He looked through the box. "DAMN! IT'S NOT HERE!"

Then he saw something shiny under his bed. Inuyasha reached and grabbed something like a rock. He ran his hand over the smooth rock that had no jagged ends to it from the smoothing he did to it when he was small. When Inuyasha was small, he smoothened it out by scratching it on the ground. (weird eh…?) "Kikyo…I'm gonna give you this…" he smiled. He put it in his pocket.

Suddenly Inuyasha heard the front door shut. He went to check. Sesshomaru's gone… Then he went to the kitchen and saw a note that read: Had leftovers…you can have them. Don't wanna waste them so might as well let 'you' have it…

Inuyasha smirked. "Hah…I knew it…" then he got ready to see Kikyo again.

:X:X:X:X:X

Sesshomaru sat in his car. "Man…I cooked this for me…but now I'm not hungry." He threw in his backseat and sighed. "I think it's time for me…to see you again…" He drove off.

Sesshomaru stopped at a hospital. "Kikyo…Inuyasha's directions say that the hospital is here…" he sighed again as he felt a weird feeling in his stomach. It was something he usually didn't have…it was fear.

He walked in the hospital. Everyone stared at him because of his…well handsomeness and his cold eyes. As he approached a nurse, he could feel tension coming on. "P-Please…tell me where…K-K-Kikyo i-i-is…"

"K-kikyo? Um…r-room 204…" the nurse hesitated. "Please…don't hurt her…"

Sesshomaru felt sweat coming down. What! She thought I was gonna hurt her…!

Sesshomaru stopped at the door that read: Room 204. He knocked gently.

"Hello?"

Sesshomaru gulped.

"Inuyasha…? Is it you?"

Sesshomaru took a breath. "No…it's not Inuyasha…"

"Oh…gomen ne. You must be an assistant doctor…I'll open the door immediately.

Sesshomaru sighed. She thinks I'm a doctor. I wonder how she looks now. Inuyasha says that she had Leukemia and-and she…she lost her hair.. Man! No hair…I can try to imagine her now. She used to have long hair but because of chemo therapy…she…Inuyasha says she looks like Kagome. I'm so-

Kikyo opened the door.

Sesshomaru looked up. Their eyes met. Scared… "Konnichiwa…"

Kikyo widened her eyes. Kikyo had a wig on. (A/N: heh heh…stupid. I noe…)

"Kikyo…"

Kikyo's heart beat fast. "You are…you are…the boy in the hospital…" (for more info, read the story sesshy's telling later in the chapter)

"Kikyo…you might not remember me but I'm…" he gulped again. "Sesshomaru…"

A sudden pain came to Kikyo. "Unngh…" she wobbled and fell in Sesshomaru's arms. "Head…ache…unngh…"

"Kikyo…!" Sesshomaru yelled. He felt tears coming on. Kikyo…! Tears fell on her hair from Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru put his arms around her. "Kikyo…! Kikyo…! KIKYO…!"

:X:X:X:X:X

Kikyo was on the bed. A wet towel was on her head. She was asleep.

"Kikyo…I'm sorry. Maybe I made you have this. You're probably not awake right now…or can hear me…but I have to tell you this, even if you're not awake. I was the cause of all this mishief…I'm sorry. But-let me tell you a story. A long ago story of long ago..."

Kikyo stirred in her sleep.

Sesshomaru sighed. He went along with his story

"A long time ago, nine years actually, there were three kids! They were the best of friends. One child was named…Inuyasha. Another Sesshomaru, me…and a girl…Kikyo…you… We were close and so were our families. But one day, me and Inuyasha's parents died. We were still close but…I drifted away. I isolated myself from you guys, holding all my pain in. Your parents took us in but I that was when I became cold. I despised my younger brother a little. While I was in pain, he was so happy! I knew it was my fault…I could be happy too but…I didn't want to. But, you were there, trying to make me better. I had a crush on you but you and Inuyasha were so close. I knew that I should just forget it. But then Inuyasha told me that you were leaving. I was angry at two things, one, you were moving, and secondly, you told him…not me… The next night when you were leaving, I snuck out and tagged along with you, my brother at a neighbor's house. But, when you guys stopped for a break, I also got out. I decided that it wasn't worth it so I got out and was about to cross the street and head back, not knowing you and your family was about to move. Seeing me, your father tried to stop the car from hitting me but if failed. I crouched down, your parents screamed and closed their eyes. I heard a baby crying, your voice screaming too. (in chapter 2 when kikyo was remembering her childhood, that was before they met sesshy and inu…) the next thing I knew was I was in the hospital with stitches everywhere. I asked the nurse what room you were and she led me to you. I asked you if you knew who I was. You said…" Sesshomaru wiped his eyes. "You said that you didn't know who I was…you said that you only knew your mom, dad, and sister. I forced a smile but I was hurt. Then you said, 'Where's my parents…and newborn sister…?' I looked around and overheard a doctor say 'We mustn't tell her…we must say her parents and sister are dead. Most of them are dead already. And that was all I knew. Kikyo…I-I was the cause of this. All of this…all of your misery…Kikyo! I know you'll never remember me…but I always wished that you would remember me too while you remember Inuyasha!"

KNOCK-KNOCK!

"Kikyooo! It's me! Inuyasha!"

Sesshomaru widened his eyes. I didn't know he was returning!

Inuyasha opened the door. "Hey Ki-" he paused. "What are you doing here Sesshomaru…!"

Sesshomaru smirked. He walked out the room, keeping silence in the room.

"You never answered me!"

"Inuyasha…take care of her…tell her…never mind." Sesshomaru got out a paper and scribbled something on it. "Give her this and don't even dare read it or I'll kill you." Sesshomaru walked away.

"What…what just happened…" he put the note in his pockets and walked towards Kikyo. "What happened…?" Inuyasha shook Kikyo a bit. He looked at Kikyo's head. Heh…a wig…

"Mmm…? Inuyasha…?"

"Kikyo…! What happened?"

"That man…he's…Sesshomaru right?"

"Yeah…Sesshomaru…he's my brother."

"Sesshomaru…I remember him somewhere…" Suddenly a flashback came to her head: I always wished that you would remember me too while you remember Inuyasha!

"Hm…I wonder why came here…"

"Funny. When I was sleeping, I had a dream that he was crying…and telling me a story. But I couldn't hear well…"

"Hah! Some dream! Sesshomaru doesn't cry…trust me!"

"Yes…it was an odd dream…" Kikyo said.

"Kikyo…" Inuyasha said. "Feeling better?"

"Yes…much better!"

"Here! I brought you my lucky charm." Inuyasha smiled. He showed her the jewel.

"It's beautiful!"

"It's a rock that…a girl…gave to me when I was small. I cherished it so much. I named it the shikon no tama…weird huh?"

"No…that's funny because…I always felt déjà vu. I mean, when I had dreams, I gave a boy a rock that looked like that. It's weird." (A/N: Confusing huh…?)

Inuyasha widened his eyes. Huh…? Maybe…forget it… He leaned near her face. "I like your wig…" (A/N: LOL!)

Kikyo blinked. Suddenly she started laughing uncontrollably. "Sorry…just…it's funny…I mean…sorry…"

Inuyasha chuckled. "Kikyo, I love you…"

Kikyo blushed. She hugged him. "Inuyasha…me too…"

"Oh yeah…Sesshomaru told me to give you something." He gave her the note.

"I'll read it later…" she put it on the table. Then she turned to Inuyasha. She smiled.

:X:X:X:XX:

Sesshomaru packed some things in a bag. He held an airplane ticket to Hokkaido. "Heh…see ya Kikyo…" he then looked at a picture. It had Kikyo, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha. "Bye…and, I hope you will be happy…hopefully, we can see each other again another day…but I'm going now." He wrote a note on the kitchen and told Inuyasha where he was. Then he opened the front door and went out, leaving his home, his brother, his past, and Kikyo.

A/N: Hi! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I think it was the longest I ever wrote, probably not for you. Well, I wrote a lot of comments on this chapter huh? Well, I'll see you later in the next chappie! This will make up for my previous short chapter. I think that chapter was so short.
