Hey! Trixie here! Sorry that I haven't written anything in ages! I've just been so obsessed with reading fics more than writing! But not I've found my inspiration and motivation to write again! I hope you all like it and flamers are fine I don't care I can use all the advice! Oh and by the way I don't own inuyasha, OR rootoushi –who is totally Jaquelynn McKnight's (Jackie) character so praise her! OR sessh but if I did sessh would be wearing really sexy tight leather clothes…hmm that's an idea…anyways on with the show!
"…" talking
'…' thinking
-…- ugh…stuff
This is what is going on…
Naraku was defeated by one of Kagome's enchanted arrows that had sent him to hell and prevents him from ever escaping, and it is now two months after that. Inuyasha went back with Kagome to her world since there wasn't anything stopping him from leaving. When the shikon jewel was completed it had absorbed what was left of Kikyo's soul and returned it to Kagome where it belongs. Sango and Miroku parted ways with the couple and they left for Sango's village with her little brothers' body to burry him with the rest of her family. They decided they would stick together but still wouldn't admit their feelings to each other unlike Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha and Kagome still visit the slayer and monk from time to time to keep their friendship strong. Shippo had grown a lot more and is now two feet taller, and he also went with Kagome and Inuyasha since Kagome 'sat' Inuyasha enough times for him to not even remember how annoying the little fox demon really was.
Their lives were peaceful even though they kept their meaningless feuds strangely funny to those who didn't get into the crossfire. But… who cares? Sesshomaru doesn't. And this story is about him! Well, he was quite pissed about a stupid human defeating that filthy, half demon Naraku. Then again he was just a worthless half demon.
It has been just two months after Naraku's demise and he already felt the difference in his lands. No bothersome battling, no annoying half breed brothers and his companions, no missing limbs (A/N: He found out that his sword, the twin of his brothers, could heal his arm to having the damn thing back by a mere mistake in a battle he had with his brother when he found out about the demise of Naraku-without me you would be missing so much!), and definitely no Rin.
In one of his recent battles with a lower demon, he saw that it was best for Rin to be housed by a reasonable aged human couple because she had been overwhelmingly terrified by anything after that encounter to be alone one minute. So he had decided that it was best for her to grow up with what was left of a normal human childhood. Of course he took necessary precautions by having a small group of his demon followers to protect their village so nothing would come to harm little Rin. His twin sword had also felt it better for her future so it didn't argue one bit when she had to leave.
Sesshomaru was now again in his own lands and decided to start living in his own castle again. His father had passed it down to himself and Inuyasha but he would never allow that half breed from living in his lands no less in the same castle. Well the first month of the demon lord in his own castle again were filled with nothing but meaningless paper work considering things a prince must do to keep his lands safe AND financially prosperous. After the slightest strain of his eyes over the weeks finishing that work and whatever work he needed to do for the next year (A/N: He likes to take care of everything a head of time) so it was time to do some exploring of his castle grounds since he was mindlessly bored, and curious to see what he might have missed in his last inspection over 70 years ago.
(A/N: Hey! Give him some credit! He's been exploring and protecting his lands since he was 30! Well in my story he has, and you know when went to see Inuyasha for the first time after the half-breed's mother died? Yeah he was 40 then because I said so. So Sessh is like… 33(age when IY was born) +17(years TILL IY was stuck on tree by arrow) +50(years IY was stuck on tree by arrow) I don't know…oh yeah so Sessh is like 100 yrs perfectly. That's cool. Anyways! On with the story!)
Sessh cracked his knuckles, neck, back, and anything else you could crack, loudly as he strode out of his study where he had just finished all that meaningless paper work. He head down the large hallway which had a few burgundy oak wood doors leading to random libraries, storage rooms, bathing rooms, spare bedrooms for the allied lords and ladies who he no longer cared if they stayed as long as they were never in sight and paid with money, security, and alliances to be around him. He really didn't deal with any of that, he had frog face do it since it was "a lower demon task" that wasn't worth his time.
As he ventured toward the main room where the entrance with boldly decorated deep red and wood decorations layered the elegant stairways he passes few servants who hadn't enough time to leave his sight grasped the flourished blood colored –oriental- carpetry silently begging for forgiveness for troubling him with the sight of their existence in his wake. As usual he just ignored their presence though annoyed in having to notice their tight grasp of hands/claws on his expensive carpetry. –sigh- 'Worthless demons…'
His graceful steps down the flourished stairway made not even a creak of sound, and then his feet lead him out of the castle towards the extravagant gardens where their were stone paths leading in labyrinth designs, roses, lilies, ivory, tulips, and other really pretty flowers that I don't know the names of claimed their own living quarters mix matched in random places. (A/N: Basically a really large garden thing that had all kinds of flowers and stuff like the secret garden from the movie 'Secret Garden'…yeah)
Sessh wandered the pathways farther than he'd have been to when he was around a child's age. His mother had created the garden, and personally planted each and every one of them. After her death he saw to it that not one servant plant a single seed into the soil, only tend to what was already there while he was gone.
While passing by some blue something or others he noticed a small shrine, one that was not of a person's death or of a demon's existence, but of a crows. It was a 4ft by 3ft stone vertically standing, carved with a foreign language written all over it and weird engravings and such, with an out stretched bird bath and above it had a normal sized statuesque crow perched on a dog's back. The crow's face seemed to have a white cross-shaped coloring under its' right eye, and the dog had three parallel-diagonal scars on its left eye-which it still had. Sesshomaru now confused why this strange shrine was located on his mother and father's… no, his lands.
'Maybe there was a previous alliance with a crow demon clan, or the two demons had been known by his father. But his father never had anything to do with the gardens. His mother must have put this shrine here for a purpose. Was she that dog from the statue? No, it couldn't be because she had not a scar such as that of the dog statue.
Hmm, maybe I should research this finding, and the strange language carved on it later.'
Before Sessh was about to turn and head down the path to see if there was anything remotely like the birdbath he noticed something.
'Water? How could there be water for the birdbath? No servant has come this deep into the gardens for fear of being lost and most importantly defying my order to only tend to the plants without touching anything else. And there certainly hasn't been any showers since weeks ago…'
When slowly reaching to smell the water he looked into the reflection to see…
'Wait…that's… not me.'
A strange world was shown in the water's deep, mechanical monsters, humans wearing unnatural clothes, towering cast-wait!
'The females look to be wearing similar coverings. What exactly is this thing?'
Taking a deeper look the water started to ripple and swirl instantly, almost hypnotizing Sessh into a paralyzing feeling. Not realizing the now glistening green, black, and purple liquid swarming his form, he was absorbed into the image, leaving only his sent still lingering amongst the blue something or other flowers. The now completely aware of the radical, (A/N: sorry needed a colorful word to describe the water stuff! Yeah I know really lame word!) Vortex thing, Sessh was free falling past green stars, and black clouds, and random purple moons.
Trying to claw his way up, which was impossible considering there was absolutely nothing to grab onto to help him, a red star started shining brighter and bright, growing bigger and bigger as he neared the bottom of the tunnel. Then finally realizing there was a reason this was happening, which was his lack of intelligence –he just had to question the waters existence, he just had to look into its reflection, and just had to wear pants that had less parachute-ness-
The blinding red star then consumed his thoughts and body as he fell into the blood red bliss, and…
"Ugh, I now hate all colors…too many…I'm a demon…we don't…get…"
…hit with a very blackening concussion.
