A Memorial Wedding- Part 2

Rin was so excited to be here, watching at this wonderful event. She never had thought she would see one day a demon's wedding. That was quite new for her there were so many things she had not seen before. She looked at how beautiful the couple was with their long ceremonial clothes. Each of them wore a long and wonderful kimono, a red and a black one. She never had though that they could fit in one. Especially Kouga. It was so unreal. She never let them out of her sight, they were so beautiful. She wondered briefly if Sesshoumaru and her will look so awesome too at their wedding, if there is one. She sighed. She remembered that she was only a mere human.

Like if Sesshoumaru had read into her thoughts, he grabbed her little and thin hands and she sighed of relief. He will always be there for her. She smiled back at him, letting her favorite couple out of her gaze. He looked so happy to be with her and she knew that he was not enjoying himself like she did. She kissed him on his forehead, he really needed to know that she knew that he was annoying with this event. Anyway, she pushed these thoughts out of head and she looked at the beginning of the ceremony. They were definitively matched together.

Looking at them curiously like always she saw that both of the soon-to-be-married couple had their marks visible to all the people at the wedding. They were proud to show at their friends that they were happy to be together and they will die for her or his mate. She smiled but it vanished once more. She will never be able to protect her lord even if she wanted it so much. She was just a simple human, an insect compare to any demon. She sighed again.

"Rin?" Sesshoumaru softly said in murmur.

She did not responded to him, she knew that she would not be able to hide that she was broken-hearted to be such a poor creature. So, she tried to avoid his regard and tried to concentrate to the wedding scene once more. Nothing work, she was always lost in her thoughts.

"We can go home if you want Rin." Her love said.

"No, no, I'm alright." She said smiling to him but she knew that he would see that she was hiding something under her charming smile.

She would've cried now, she would've run away, she would've done anything to stop these thoughts that was hurting her. She love Sesshoumaru so deeply but she did not want to be a burden to him. She only wanted to please him, to protect him. She paused in her thoughts, protect him! He was the most powerful lord of the Western lands, no one can defeat him and never will they be able. Sesshoumaru was indestructible and was always protected by Tessaiga. She had forgot it, how she had not thought of this before.

She turned to look at her lord and she was truly smiling to him and he responded to her smile by a real smile. He finally saw her relax and let a quiet but big sigh escape from his mouth. It hurts him so much when he saw her doubt about her love, his love, and their love. How was it possible? He did not want anything more than his Rin. Rin was a lovely lady and the most appealing female of all Japan. Sesshoumaru was hoping she never doubted about his emotions and feelings toward her anymore but he could not help her, she was so scared to loose him.

He now understood what she feared so much. She would never be able to protect him even if she would give her life, it would always be in vain, and she was not strong enough to defend herself or to kill anyone on Earth. He had forgot that she was a human once more, he sighed again. Being with Rin, he forgot everything that separated them so much. He wanted to say that she would live forever at his side but it would not be true and she knew it. Somehow, his anger was appearing in his head and shortly some demons around them turned back to the wedding scene to look at the lord of the western lands. He growled silently and acted like if nothing had happened.

However his anger never diminish and the more he thought about it the angrier he got, until everything around him stopped looking at Kouga and Ayame to look at him. He had not even seen it. Inuyasha was now knelt before him and he was saying something, but the high lord was lost in his thoughts. A small and warm touch finally brought him back to reality and he was shocked to see that so many people were around him but he had his icy mask in his face so nobody saw his reaction.

"What's wrong with you brother?" Inuyasha asked worried.

He looked at his brother with his usual cold glare and he wanted so much to be away from this place and be with his pretty lady alone.

"Nothing." He simply said almost silently stated but Inuyasha's heard it.

"No, there is something wrong with you. Just look at the sky and the air around us." Inuyasha said standing right in front of his brother and he crossed his arms to his chest.

Sesshoumaru looked at the sky, it was so dark. This often happened when he was on the battlefield when he was ready to unleashed the power of Tokijin. Yeah, he was totally surprised of it, he never thought that people would notice it or even thought that he was able to do such thing without being in a fight. After he looked around and he saw poison smoke. Afraid he looked at his Rin. What had he done, just now? He had risked Rin's life. How dare he do this?

Rin smiled back timidly and nervously at him. She knew already that he had figured out what she was so worried about and that had made him felt so angry, so out of himself.

"I'm sorry my lord, to have make you so worried, but could you dispensed the smoke and the black clouds. It's supposes to be a great and wonderful day for everyone. I don't want to order you, but please do it, I'm not feeling well with this green smoke." She nicely said to him.

He was again shocked, she knew at what he had thought. BAKA! You are bound with her, he finally understands. He was so stupid to have forgotten it. He retained his anger and in a second everything disappeared and it was the nice and warming day like previously, as if nothing happened, finally. Unfortunately everyone knew that something was really bothering lord Sesshoumaru and no one wanted to be killed or ripped into pieces, so they all returned to their seats.

"You mutt face, how dare you interrupt my wedding. It's my special moment so calm down once and for all and don't interrupt it again or I will personally kill you. Sorry lady Rin for being so harsh but he deserves it!" Kouga said angrily.

Sesshoumaru stood up and looked at Kouga who was defying him.

"Sorry." He said before turning back and walking out of the marriage.

They all had their mouths wide open. Did the great and cold icy lord had just apologize to them? They would have never believe it, but they had heard it clearly. There was a big silence that surround the couple. Rin was about to run after her lover when Inuyasha grabbed her wrist. She looked at him confused.

"Let me handle this please lady Rin, stay and watch the wedding and do not worry about my brother, he will be back, I promise." He said with confidence.

Rin nodded. She thought that Inuyasha had never changed, he was still the same happy and troublesome person but he had a kind and huge heart. She believed his words and she sat down and everybody turned to look at the soon-to-be-married couple. (Will they be able to finally be married?)

Inuyasha ran to the forest where Sesshoumaru had left and disappeared. He sniffed the air and he rapidly caught Sesshoumaru's scent. He ran until he finally reach his position and he jumped to a branch.

"What happened earlier big brother?" Inuyasha asked seriously.

"Hn." Sesshoumaru responded, Inuyasha was irritated by this answer.

"C'mon you jerk, I'm here to help you." Inuyasha said with a smirk.

"Behave Inuyasha."

"Sesshoumaru what the hell is happening with you, you never acted like this before. There is surely something that bothering you so much. Tell me please you scared everyone."

Sesshoumaru sighed loudly and he sat under an oak tree. Sesshoumaru knew that Inuyasha will not divulge anything of the conversation they will have, but he was unsure if he could say his fears in front of his brother. It will be a sign of weaknesses. But maybe he will be able to have some answers.

"Do you ever fear that you will loose the most precious thing in your life sometimes?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Hell yes, brother. I fear that every time Kagome gets out of my sight and even sometimes, I fear that she will die in her sleep. It's so scary that one day she will pass on like every other humans. I don't believe in God, but I'll pray if it's the only way to save my mate. I'll do whatever it takes to save her from death. It's a trait of Inu youkai that I have, I'm so protective of my Kagome and now with my daughter too. I hope you feel the same for Rin. She really deserves to have a guardian to protect her and I think that you're the best person for her, even if you are a youkai, maybe a cold and emotionless lover but she definitively loves you so much. Don't ever break her heart and pass as much time as you can with her, because she is not eternal, enjoy those moments you share with her brother, they are so precious." Inuyasha said seriously and maturely.

Sesshoumaru had never thought that his brother could be so mature and act not like a fool all the time. Maybe he was too stubborn to see that Inuyasha was not a pup anymore and that he already had begun his own family, he surely is a good father Sesshoumaru thought. Then he had rewind his brother's speech and these words were repeating in his head: "because she is not eternal, enjoy those moment you share with her."

"Hatsuyuki." Sesshoumaru whispered but Inuyasha heard it again.

Sesshoumaru was thinking that these words looked like Hatsuyuki's word and he was happy to remembered her. She had always been true after all, he should be thankful to have revived Rin and being in love and he always messed up things that were non-complicated. He will fix it once more when he was to be with his lady.

"You mature brother. I'm proud of you." Sesshoumaru said with a hint of amusement.

"Hey, you noticed that, I'm not the childish half demon anymore. You making progress Sesshoumaru, but I still unbeatable, I possess Tetsusaiga after all." Inuyasha said with a big smirk.

He will never change, Sesshoumaru thought. However he will not attempt to start a fight now, he was not in mood. (A/N: Wow, Sesshoumaru who's not wanting to fight with his brother, it's a premiere!)

"Come on Sesshy, we must return to the wedding or else Rin will miss all the fun of the ceremony because your too selfish." Inuyasha said before disappearing. He always like to tease his older brother.

"Hn." Sesshoumaru only added.

So, his brother fear is the same thing as his, so it's a natural feeling then. It's love isn't it, he asked himself. It's so strange to feel this emotion that could made him crazy sometimes. He smiled when he looked at the sky. Yes he had to enjoy his life with Rin, she is his sunray and he didn't want to lose her. He stood up and walked back to the huge scene but happier than he left it. He now knew that he is deeply affected by Rin, in other words that he is in love.
