Chapter 19: The goal

"Jaken explain" Sesshomaru said urgently getting to his knees before the demon staring into his big bulky eyes.

"Your father before his death for being with Izaoi had made swords, two infact, well three but…"

"Get to the chase Jaken! Tell me how to save Sango" Sesshomaru hissed picking up the toad by the neck.

"Gwak! I'm sorry my lord!" Jaken said quickly gagging slightly as Sesshomaru let him down to continue.

"The two main swords are Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga, the sword of life and the sword of death. You need Tenseiga to save Sango"

"Tenseiga…" Sesshomaru said as if treasuring the word, "Where Jaken? Where do I get it"

"Your father's grave"

"My father's grave but no one know's where that is! No one know where his body lies!"

"I do not know my lord…"

Sesshomaru paced down to the hall bulging through the front door. "Inuyasha! HERE" he said in a loud voice the whole class turning to look at the demon in the doorway. Inuyasha stood slowly, as he shut the door standing before his elder brother. "What is it?" Inuyasha said simply sounding rather annoyed as he looked towards him.

"We can save Sango"

"WHAT?"

Sesshomaru smiled slightly. 'He sounded just like me' and found himself surprised to see Inuyasha smiling back. Sango just kept seeming to make miracles for them, rather she was here or not.

"To do so we have to find father's grave"

"What? That's impossible…"

"I know" Sesshomaru sighed slightly "Jaken said…"

Flashback+

"Remember my lord after retreaving Tenseiga you must master it. This sword is very easy to work if it chooses you, but if you choose to save Sango and your offspring it must use a more difficult tenique. It will not work after a months passing."

"So that means…."

"If you have resurrected Sango's body by the end of the month, Sango can never return to earth again.

"It's only been a few days" Inuyasha said "But by the time we find father's grave…"

"It may be to late…"

"We need some kind of hint." Sesshomaru said calmly looking towards his brother.

"Well listen, I'll go to the library after school and see if there's any clue in any of the books about demons/humans. You know are father was a legend for breaking the law." Inuyasha smiled slightly as Sesshomaru gave off a small nod.

I suppose I'll look around the house, it was the house where we lived when you were born, Maybe I can find something" Sesshomaru sighed. "So I'll be skipping today."

Inuyasha nodded looking at Sesshomaru carefully before reentering the classroom, pausing and looking over his shoulder.

"You alright?"

Sesshomaru gave off a small smirk "No where close"

Sesshomaru turned to go, "I have to find something…for Sango's sake, anything" Sesshomaru muttered to himself his hands clenching into a fists.

Flashback+

"Chicue…"

"Remember Sesshomaru, Your mate is the one you should protect. The one you should do anything for, and you will do everything in your power to protect them."

"But…"

"I may be breaking the law Sesshomaru but I will do anything to protect her."

"But you'll die"

"That's a sacrifice, I'm willing to make."

End flashback+

'Father was right.' Sesshomaru thought pulling a key out of his pocket and unlocking the front door. 'I'll do absolutely anything for her. She's Sango and she is my mate.' Sesshomaru smiled at the thought walking through the door before relocking it, and moving up the stairs pausing at his parent's room. Not once had he been his father's room since his death.

Sesshomaru's hands twitched as they touched the doorknob, closing his eyes as he pushed the door in. Sesshomaru opened his eyes slowly his eyes scanning the dark room, his fingers slowly turning on the light switch. The room was bland really, nothing in it other then a bookshelf, a desk, an old nightstand and a bed. Sesshomaru walked into the room the floor creaking underneath his bear feet.

He walked in slowly almost as if he were cautious, it was so strange he couldn't remember the last time he had been here. Wait…yes he could.

Flashback+

"Chicue, what are you doing?"

"Just writing my will Sesshomaru"

"Chicue what is your 'will'"

"It's what you have when you die Sesshomaru, who gets your things and such."

Sesshomaru paused leaning over his father's shoulder worriedly.

"Your not going to die are you Chicue?"

Inutaisho smiled towards his son running a clawed hand through his head. "It'll be a while Sesshomaru…"

'That's right…' Sesshomaru thought walking over to the desk. 'Father was cheating on mom…'

Sesshomaru opened the desk, there were two pictures inside of it. One of Izaoi and one of his mother, each of the women were in the same position, each holding a baby, One being Sesshomaru and the other…Inuyasha. They lay side by side in the desk, and in the back was two crumbled up piece of paper.

An unsent thank you note…and his fathers will.


Inuyasha sat in the library fumbling through books; it was so strange to see him with books, let alone to be at the library.

"I found some more Inu-kun" Kikyou said smiling setting some books down on the table.

"Who knew there were so many books about my father?" Inuyasha groaned looking at the new 5 Kikyou had added to the 20 he had already found.

Kikyou giggled slightly flipping open one of the small red books on the table.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

"His will"

"More specific?"

"Were looking a way to bring Sango back"

Kikyou gasped slightly her eyes shining with joy, "There is away?" Kikyou whispered excitedly.

"Yes but there are some limits and consequences and…"

Kikyou's lips pressed against his own kissing him softly and silencing him in the process. "What's it called?"

Inuyasha breathed out sharply, "Tenseiga"

Kagome stood her back pressed against the bookcase. "If Tenseiga can bring back Sango…it can bring back Shouten…" Kagome whispered softly. "I have to find Tenseiga first…No…I will find Tenseiga first!"
