Until I Return

Chapter 3

I'm Revealed…Somewhat

'Damn you, Sesshoumaru' I thought, running towards my half-brother's home. 'This wouldn't have happened if you weren't so thick!'

"What do you want?" a growl was heard, somewhere from my right. Sesshoumaru.

"That's none of your business," I huffed, growing tired of his attitude.

"If it was none of my business, then a) you wouldn't be this close to my home, and b) you wouldn't be searching for me," replied the voice. Grrr….I could just imagine himself smirking right now in the shadows. "I repeat again, what do you want?"

"To…warn you," I gritted out.

"Warn me about what?"

"Danger."

"I do not need you warning me about danger, half-breed," Sesshoumaru scoffed.

"Listen to me!" I snapped. "Forget about your damn pride for a moment and think about how this would affect Rin!"

I knew I had hit a nerve. My brother froze, and his eyes widened for a fraction of a second before they were normal again…cold, unfeeling…

"How would this affect her?" he raised an eyebrow.

Rin's P.O.V

"Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru," I whispered, silently following him.

"Where is your beloved mate?" I hissed venomously, darkening my eyes slightly as I watched him stop and sniff the air.

Sesshoumaru suddenly bolted in a different direction and I hastily followed him. When I reached him, I saw him 'talking' with Inuyasha. 'Inuyasha, you're still alive?'

I inaudibly gasped as Inuyasha look straight up at me. No way! I reassured myself that he could not see me…Of course he couldn't. He is only a half-demon, after all. Only full demons could see me!

But then…why…

Couldn't Sesshoumaru see me?

Sesshoumaru's P.O.V

I tensed slightly as my idiotic half-brother raise his gaze to some point above me. I spun around and saw nothing.

Nothing?

Then what is Inuyasha looking at?

I swiftly scanned the area before turning my attention back to the half-demon. Well, almost all my attention…

Inuyasha's P.O.V

Damn him, is he even listening to me! I know that he's paying half of his attention to me! I can see him focusing his other half of his attention behind me. Could he have seen what I thought I heard?

No…No, I'm being stupid. That THING doesn't exist. It's just my mind playing tricks on me. Yes, that's it, and nothing more. Besides, spirits are white, are they not?

What I saw was dark, pure dark…

Mimoko's P.O.V. (Wow, this will be sooo boring. Mimoko's thoughts, I mean.)

Damn that Sesshoumaru! Where is he? Does he not care for his beloved WIFE?

Grrr…at least I had some…release…before he came back. If I hadn't, I could have found myself feeling very unfufilled!

My beloved Sesshoumaru doesn't care about me…the tragedy of it all! He changed.for the worst when that WHORE (whore? The irony of it all…Mimoko's the whore!) came back into his life. FACE IT, HE CHOSE ME, NOT HER.

But nooooo…she had to go get herself dead and leave me with a worse husband than before! He no longer even PLEASURES ME daily. It USED to be daily, then it turned weekly, then it turned monthly, then it turned yearly…until it stopped. Just stopped. WHEN SHE DIED!

Unknown person's P.O.V

I hissed lightly. Things were not going as planned. I did not count on Inuyasha warning Sesshoumaru, or that unknown force intruding upon my plans.

Forget that. I wll simply have to rethink my plans, that's all. Should be simple. Soon, the reign of Lady Mimoko shall fall, Inuyasha will pay, the unknown force will cease to be a threat, and then…it will be the new Reign of Darkness.

And with Dark Lady Rin standing by my side as I rule the world.

Not bad for an evil prodigy's plans, wouldn't you say?
