Sesshoumaru was sitting on a stone alone, in the dark and cold woods. It was night, a dark and cold night, each time someone exhaled a cloud of warm air would appear before their face. Rin and Jaken was sleeping by a fire, Sesshoumaru had left because he wanted to be alone then he thought. He was looking at the ground with his unemotional face, deep in thought.
´Why can´t I stop think about her? She is dead, she got her heart back before she did and she died in peace. So WHY can´t I stop think about her?´ he said to himself in his mind, he did not know how many times he had asked himself that question since her death.
´Why cant I stop think about her?´
Suddenly he picked up a sent he knew, and without turning his head, or even moving his eyes, he said:
"What do you want, Toutousai?" His voice had a hint of annoyance in it.
"Tenseiga has told me it is time for me to upgrade it." Now Sesshoumaru turned his head to face the man, but it was still unemotional.
"Hn?" Sesshoumaru asked, even though his voice did not hold even a hint of wondering.
"Give it to me and I´ll be finished in three days"
Sesshoumaru gave him the sword, mostly so the man would leave him alone to his thoughts.
After taking the sword Toutousai rode away on his oxe.
Three days went fast as Sesshoumaru once again found his thoughts interrupted by the old man.
"You better not have done a bad job." Sesshoumaru said, more because he´s used with it than he meant it.
He recived tenseiga and pulled it out from it´s shelf. He could feel a slight difference, and threw a test-swing trough the air. Tenseiga´s blade created a black path to the realm of the dead with the shape of a cresent moon.
"Then you get better it will become bigger and the shape of a full circle. AND it have the potential to bring someone back to this world as well, that is... if you want that." He looked at Sesshoumaru meaningly.
"Hn." was all Toutousai heard from the dog-demon, as he started to walk away.
Sesshoumary didn´t know why, but suddenly all he wanted to do was to go slay alot of demons.
Rin and Jaken had discovered a big differens in Sesshoumaru. Normaly they would just travel around and Sesshoumaru would kill the demons that were in their way, but now he hunted down every demon he could and killed them with tenseiga. Rin had asked once what had happened with tenseiga, and Sesshoumaru had told them about Toutousai, but neither Rin or Jaken dared to ask anything else, even though Sesshoumaru seemed to be nicer to them since Toutousai had upgraded it.
Right now Sesshoumaru sniffed after the smell of a demon to slay. He picked up a sent and looked to his right at the horizon.
"This smell... so he has lost to his blood again." he thought. "Talking about blood, I can smell it to. I can smell it to clear, how much is he bleeding"
Sesshoumaru started to run to there he felt the smell.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken yelled after his master.
"Stay here." Sesshoumaru anwsered.
Rin and Jaken did not know why, but they thought they could see a small hint of concern on his face.
A mile away, slightly before Seshoumaru picked up the sent:
Inuyasha had encountered a demon to strong for him, so his demonblood had taken over. After giving the demon a cruel death he started to walk to his group of friends, still bloodlust in his eyes.
"Inuyasha, wake up!" Miroku said trying to stop Inuyasha. But Inuyasha continued.
The rest of the group tried as well, but it did not work.
"SIT!" Kagome said, hoping it would wake him up, but instead the necklace broke, and Inuyasha aimed for Kagome. Inuyasha had captured Kagome between himself and a mountain wall, she closed her eyes as he was going to kill her. But it never happened, instead Inuyashe started to scream and held his head. He went to where tetsusaiga lay on the ground, picked it up and pierced his own chest.
"INUYASHA!" everyone screamed.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed with tears in her eyes as she ran to Inuyashas side.
"I´m sorry that I attacked you. cough" He had now turned back to his own self.
"YOU´RE THE ONE THAT´S INJURED!" she screamed back, tears overflowing her eyes.
A pair of feet landed at the opposite side of Inuyasha, Kagome jumped back in fear when she saw who it was.
"Damn it, Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha cursed.
Sesshoumaru took hold of tetsusaigas handle and pulled it out, completely ignoring the barrier. What he did next surprised everyone. He dropped tetsusaiga at Inuyashas side. As of he hadn´t surprised them enough he pulled out tenseiga and healed him.
"Sesshoumaru?.." Inuyasha said.
Sesshoumaru turned around and started to walk back to Rin and Jaken. He stopped and without turning around he said:
"Inuyasha, you are weak..." Inuyasha seemed a little disapointed.
"... but you´re not a fool." was the last Sesshoumaru said before he left. It was also the last Inuyasha heard before he blacked out due his loss of blood.
Inuyasha woke up to see a wooden cealing. He assumed his friends had taken him home to Kaede´s hut.
´...but you´re not a fool.´ Inuyasha remember the last things he experienced before his black-out. He couldn´t understand anything of it. Why had his brother, that hated him so much, saved his life, not stolen tetsusaiga and said that he wasn´t a fool? It just don´t make any sense. It goes against all logical rules about what he knew about his cold brother. After sereval minutes of failing to understand, Inuyasha lay it aside. He intended to sit up, but something was stopping him. Looking down at his chest he saw the sleeping form of Kagome. He hadn´t realised that she was there until now. He softly shaked her awake by her shoulders.
"Inuyasha..." she said sleepy as she awoke.
"INUYASHA!" she yelled and hugged him close, a firm grip of the front of his haori. She started to cry against his chest.
"I, I thought you would die!" she said sobbing.
"It´s okay now, it´s okay." Inuyasha said, rubbing her back. After a few minutes of crying, Kagome was feeling better, sitting at his side instead of laying on him.
"How long was I out?" Inuyasha asked.
"For 3 days" Kagome anwsered.
Inuyasha looked at the floor in front of him, finding nothing other of interrest at the moment. Then it hit him,
-the necklace was once again around his neck! He took it in his hand, looking at it as he didn´t belive it was there, then he closed his hand around it, trembeling. He faced the different direction, away of Kagome.
"Inuyasha?.. It´s not that bad... is it?" Kagome asked.
"... no, I guess not... it only means that you still don´t trust me." He said still facing away from her, a tear going down his cheek.
"No, it´s not like that! Its only..." Kagome stopped, unable to say what ever she was about to say.
"Then what!" Inuyasha demanded. Kagome stayed silent a moment. Then she said:
"I just thought that... that you and Kikyo have an unbreakable bound and... between you and me I´m not sure if there is, so I thought the necklace would somehow bound us..." Kagome said, a few tears starting to escape her eyes.
"Baka! I don´t care about Kikyo any longer, everytime I meet her she leaves me to go on her own. You are different, you never leave me whatever is the matter! I love you with my whole heart!" Inuyasha yelled, literary forcing Kagome´s bad thoughts away with the last sentence.
"You do?" Kagome asked, not sure he really said that.
"Yes, I do!" Inuyasha ensured her.
"Inuyasha!" Once again she hugging him close. "I love you to!" Inuyasha embraced her, inhaled and swallowed before he asked:
"Will you marrie me?" Kagome looked at him as if he would have been a ghost.
"Yes!" She hugged him closer, if possibly. Thay sat like that around 10 minutes. After that Kagome broke the silence.
"Should we tell our friends"
"Yeah."
In the room next to the room Inuyasha was resting, were Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Shippo and kaede around the fire. Kaede was preparing a soup in a boiling-pot above it. Inuyasha and Kagome joined them as they walked through the door.
"Good that you´re up, Inuyasha. This time we were really concerned about you." Miroku said.
"Mm" Sango agreed.
Inuyasha and Kagome sat down at the floor with their friends. Shippo jumped up on Inuyashas shoulder.
"See what happens then you wont let me come with you. You got really injured"
Everyone awaited the sound of Shippo being beated, but it never came. Inuyasha just seemed to happy to get angry.
"What with you inuyasha? You didn´t do anything... noughty, now did you?" Miroku asked.
"Of course not, you freaking pervert!" the pissed of hanyou said.
"Actually, we´re getting married" Kagome said.
Everyone went Oo
"You are"
"Yes"
Miroku turned his head towards Sango.
"Sango, now then our friends are going to do it, we can as well do it at the same time"
Sango blushed.
"If, if you say so." she said, blushing even more. Then she suddenly hit him with hiraikotsu.
"Why do you have to tuch my ass att a time like this?" she asked angry.
"Sango..." he tried to explain.
Everyone else laughed. Then suddenly something very unusal happend.
"Hey, I got an idea!" Inuyasha said, "Now we only have to get shippo and Kirara married and we´ll be one big family"
Again everyone except two laughed, but this time it was Shippo and Kirara. Shippo looked pissed and Kirara blushed, trying to hide behind her tails.
"DON´T MAKE FUN OF OUR RELATIONSHIP!" Shippo yelled att Inuyasha.
Everyone was like OO, exept Inuyasha that was like .
"You have a relationship"
"Uhm... AAAAAHHHH!" Shippo ran out the door, kirara after him with concern on her face. Everyone else laughed. When they had calmed down Kagome said:
"Inuyasha, actually that wasn´t very nice"
"Don´t worry, I´ll get him back." Inuyasha also left the house.
Inuyasha followed Shippo´s scent into the wood, finding him behind a rock after a few minutes. He was sitting with his back towards the rock, his hands in fists on his legs and looking at the ground before him. At his side was Kirara.
"Why does Inuyasha have to be so mean!" Shippo asked no one in particular.
"You don´t have to be so angry." Inuyasha walked to stand in front of shippo. Shippo snorted and looked away.
"Nobody laughed at your relationship, they laughed at my idea. And they´re not laughing any longer anyway, they´re waiting for us." Inuyasha stretch his hand towards Shippo.
"Let´s go home." Shippo looked at Inuyasha surprised, then accepted his hand. They almost looked like father and son. They started to go home to the hut, Kirara at Shippos side. As they walked into the hut they failed to notice the golden eyes watching them.
"It seems that my little brother is getting married." the owner of the eyes said. "Maybe we should pay a visit at the marrige"
"It should be fun." a woman voice said.
