Chapter 6 - Sesshoumarus Decision
She's gone. Sesshoumaru starred at the steaming water. She's really gone. For a moment he could still remember her calling his name, remember her giggles. But he neither felt sadness or tragedy; it was merely a feeling of emptiness, like his existence will no longer mean anything. Suddenly a presence appeared behind him.
"Are you feeling anything in that empty tin chest of your there?" Inuyashas voice was the last thing he wanted to hear at that moment.
"You're still here?" Sesshoumaru kept his back to his brother, "I thought I made it clear. I will not bring back that pathetic mortal."
"True, but would you bring back the 'pathetic mortal' that you even tried to save? You're so uptight thinking that she's gone that you didn't even pick up her scent when she's right behind you."
That caught Sesshoumarus attention. He turned around to see Rin, fainted in Inuyashas arms, perfectly fine with no injuries or wound. Just sleeping.
Inuyasha walked towards Sesshoumaru and handed Rin back into his arms. Sesshoumaru neither flinched nor moved away. He simply allowed his hated brother to approach him.
Back in the meadow, Inuyasha tended to his own mortal. Kagomes body hadn't moved an inch since the last time. Good! Now Kaede can't blame me for anything. He snickered out of emptiness and picked her up knowing Kagome would never again open her eyes.
But just when Inuyasha was about to head back to Kaedes village, Sesshoumaru blocked his path.
