Ch.2 Sesshomaru's Memories
"Hey, the sky's getting dark!" exclaimed Shippo. The gang looked up at the sky.
"Odd. It's not that late. And there was no sign of rain." said Miroku. Inuyasha agreed with the monk. And that's when he picked up his scent.
"Naraku!" growled Inuyasha and he broke into a run.
"Inuyasha! Matte!" Kagome called after him but Inuyasha ignored her.
I know that stentch anywhere! It's Naraku's, that bastard! He's probably the one with the shards! thought Inuyasha. He sniffed the air once more and picked up Kagura's and Kanna's stench as well. But there was another scent among theirs. It was totally different from Naraku's and his incarnations. It smelled sweet and innocent. And it had a similiar scent that reminded him of his . .
"Okaasan" Inuyasha said out loud. He shook his head. No, his mother was dead and besides the scent was much different that his mothers.
"Smells like sakura blossoms." Inuyasha corrected himself.
"What smells like sakura blossoms?" asked a voice above him. He looked up and saw Sango and Miroku on Kirara and Kagome on Shippo, who transformed himself into a big bird.
"Nothin' alright! Now let's hurry before Naraku uses the jewel on somethin'!" answered Inuyasha and the gang quickened their speed.
Somewhere in a forest near Mt. Fuji
"My! How quickly the weather changed!" exclaimed Rin.
"Sesshomaru-sama, is it going to rain soon?" she asked Sesshomaru.
"You silly child! It's not going to rain!" Jakken yelled.
"It's Naraku." said Sesshomaru. Jakken and Rin looked at him.
"Naraku? The demon that Inuyasha is always after?" questioned Jakken.
"Hai. Rin, Jakken. Let's go." Sesshomaru was about to turn around and go the opposite direction when a familiar scent cause him to stop.
"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin called to him. Her master seemed disturbed about something.
'That scent! It can't be her. She died years ago. Fuyuko.'

Sesshomaru had just won a big battle and had returned to his castle. He needed to rest from last night's fight. He was about to retire to his quarters when a messenger from InuYasha's mother came to him with news of his other half breed sibling, Fuyuko.
"Sesshomaru-sama! I bring horrible news!" said the messenger.
"Hurry up and spill it. I don't have all day." he growled.
"Your sister Fuyuko. . . She's . . . she's . . .dead." Sesshomaru froze.
"It was the night of the new moon when those filthy demons attack! With Soma only being a lowly servant and Fuyuko, turning full human on the new moon, there was no hope for them." the messenger continued. Sesshomaru was still as a statue. His sister . . . was gone! No, it couldn't be. He was supposed to protect her. Always be there to keep her safe. Now, she was dead. He felt angry, sad, confused, and worst of all, guilty. He wasn't use to feeling so much emotion at the same time that he took it out on the poor messenger. He pinned the guy to the wall.
"You're lying!" Sesshomaru hissed.
"N . . n . . no! It's true! Her highness is so upset! She has been crying for days! And your brother, Inuyasha, he is worried of her condition! He feels that it is his fault that his mother is upset" explained the messenger. Sesshomaru glared at the guy before letting him go. He left quickly to see his half brother's mother to get the real truth. But when he got there, what he dared not to believe was true. There she was, sobbing her heart out with Inuyasha sitting next to her with worry and sadness etched on his face. Sesshomaru finally got the hint that Fuyko was indeed gone and she would never come back.

"Sesshomaru-sama, daijoubu ka?" asked Rin. She was getting worried about him. She had said his name about a million times and he never respond to her. And she notice that his eyes were a little glazed.
"Rin, Jakken. Let's see what Naraku is up to." said Sesshomaru after he got out of his trance.
"De . . demo . . . Sesshomaru-sama!" stuttered Jaken but he didn't get the chance to finish because Sesshomaru and Rin had started to walk witout him.
'What is going on? What is Naraku up to?'
