Chapter 2 - The Magic Word
Rin let her bare free scatter the dandelions before her. She laughed and giggled with delight. Suddenly a hand shoved her out of the way, "Move aside!" Inuyasha grunted, "WHERE'S SESSHOUMARU?"
Rin quivered with fright. She dropped the dandelions she had been picking. His claws are stained with blood. It was true. Inuyasha looked a fright. His kimono had been torn in many places and his face was covered with blood and scratches from his last battle. Streaks of pale skin showed where the tears had ran clean.
"Rin," a calm voice up rose from behind. Sesshoumaru appeared with Jaken close by. Rin sprinted for the protection of her lord.
"What business do you have here?" Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes.
"Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha quenched, embarrassed at what he was about to say. There was a long silence. Finally he gave in, "If you are truly meant to wield fathers legendary sword, show that you have some sort of kindness inside of you and bring Kagome back to life." Inuyasha raised his voice trying to use testing Sesshoumarus powers as an excuse to bring back Kagome, so he wouldn't have to say the magic word.
"I don't think you're in the position to ask anything of me. Look at yourself, Inuyasha, you're the one that killed her," Sesshoumaru turned his back to walk away, "Come Rin."
But Inuyasha was desperate, "WAIT! Sesshoumaru," There was a long silence when nothing stirred but the wind, "please."
The syllables escaped his mouth, "PLEASE!"
Inuyasha dropped to his knees, "Please Sesshoumaru, you have no idea how much Kagome means to me!" He could feel the tears come to him again as his body shook, "I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! Just please bring Kagome back to me!"
"You idiot! What makes you think that you have anything worthy to offer the great lord! Look at yourself Inuyasha, how pathetic you've become, mourning over the death of a mere mortal! You don't even deserve to be in his presence!" Jakens words didn't mean anything to him. Inuyasha didn't budge.
"I don't care!" Inuyasha nearly ripped the grass right out of the ground. But by the time he brought up the courage to look at his brother. They were gone, leaving Inuyasha on his knees alone in the darkness.
