I think I'm going to write a sequel to my best story. That story is Orpheus and Eurydice. It was the best story I've ever written. I think a sequel would be a good idea. Anyway, back to Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's love issue.
"I remember one time after you left, Sesshomaru had a conversation with his dad about the situation." Myoga said to Inuyasha.
"He did? What did he tell him?" Inuyasha asked.
"He simply told him that he loved you. He told him nothing would ever change that." Myoga said.
"That's so sad." Sango said.
"Tell me what happened." Inuyasha said.
Myoga began the sad story…
"Sesshomaru. We need to talk." Inu no Taisho said to his son.
"Why? What is it you need to know?" Sesshomaru said.
Inu no Taisho walked his son over to a table. He sat Sesshomaru down in a chair and bent down next to him. He sighed deeply then began.
"Sesshomaru. You can't do this. I know Inuyasha is in love with you, but you can rise above that. You must not fall for your younger brother's tricks." He said.
"Huh?" Sesshomaru said.
Inu no Taisho sighed again. He stared Sesshomaru in the eyes and spoke very clearly.
"Sesshomaru, incest is a terrible thing. It always has been and it always will be. You are the heir to the throne. You will become Lord of the Western Lands. Feeling of love between brother and brother are forbidden. I know that it hurts now but when you become an adult these feelings you have will disappear."
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and shook his head. He fiddled with the long sleeves on his pale green kimono. He opened his eyes but didn't look at his father. He spoke in a small voice.
"That's not true. If it was then it wouldn't hurt this much."
Inu no Taisho stood up. He towered over Sesshomaru's small body. After all, the older brother was even smaller than Inuyasha.
"What are you saying, son?" his father said.
Sesshomaru felt tears fall from his eyes. He looked up at his father.
"I love Inuyasha. I love him with all my heart! You can't take that away from me!" Sesshomaru shouted.
"No! You can't be in love with your brother! It's forbidden!"
Sesshomaru stood up so abruptly his chair fell over. "I don't care! I love him! I love him! I know it's wrong! I know it's forbidden but I don't care! I don't care if I get sent to hell for what I'm doing. As long as Inuyasha is with me I'll go with a smile on my face."
"You can't do this. Sesshomaru! You can't! I will not allow this to happen!" Inu no Taisho screamed.
Sesshomaru doubled over. The tears fell from his face to make little spots on the floor. He looked up at his father. Though he was crying the look on his face was pure determination.
"I will go to hell and take my tainted heart with me. And the whole way down I will be holding Inuyasha's hand. It's nothing but love and sin from here on out, Father." He said slowly.
Tears were streaming down Sesshomaru's face. Inu no Taisho couldn't even look at his son anymore. He turned around and waved his hand. This signaled that he was done talking. Sesshomaru cried even harder. His father listened to Sesshomaru's footsteps as he ran to his room.
"He didn't take that very well, did he?" Inu no Taisho asked.
Myoga hopped on his shoulder and shook his head. "No, not really."
"Have you been keeping an eye on Inuyasha?"
"Yes. He is safe, my lord."
"Good. Even with all this going on I still love him. I hope he knows that." Inu no Taisho said with sad face.
"I think he knows. But what do you plan to do?" Myoga asked.
Inu no Taisho got a serious look on his face. Then he turned on his heel and left the room.
As Inu no Taisho walked into his room he noticed Izayoi sitting on the bed. She looked upset. Inu no Taisho walked over to her and hugged her. She snuggled into his embrace and spoke.
"We can't stop them. They are in love, darling. Who are we to say they can't love each other?"
Inu no Taisho looked at his wife. "I can't allow this. Sesshomaru is to be the heir to throne. He will become ruler of the Western Lands. Who will respect and fear him if they know he has taken his own brother as a mate?"
"What does that matter? Sesshomaru is a smart boy. He can make it work out. People will fear and respect more than they do you. What did the other demon lords say when you took me for your mate? It's the same situation. This is more than a phase the boys are going through. I don't want them to live with a broken heart for the rest of their lives. They are two young boys and like flowers they will wither away. Young boys must love and ours do. They love each other."
Inu no Taisho listened to these words. He didn't understand how Izayoi could be so calm about the situation. She had made some good points that he couldn't really argue with. At the same time he knew that this was much different then falling in love with a human.
"Izayoi, you don't understand. They are brothers. They cannot fall in love in love. It's forbidden not only because Sesshomaru is to be a demon lord, but also for the sake of morality."
Izayoi got an odd look in her eyes. "Morality? This weapon of destruction called Morality is after our sons now. But Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are using it to spill their own blood. Slowly they are turning away from each other so they can please you. They're killing themselves because of morality." She said harshly.
Inu no Taisho stood up. "You know as well as I that Sesshomaru is not your son. He is to be Lord of the Western Lands and morality is the only thing I have on my side now. Morality will make it possible." He left the room.
Izayoi started crying. She had always known that Sesshomaru wasn't her son, but she still had a motherly love for the child. And now that Inuyasha wasn't home anymore he was all she had. She cried harder at the thought of her own son. He hadn't returned in so long. She was beyond worried. She got up and walked out of the room.
Sesshomaru sat on his bed and cried. He didn't stop. His little puppy climbed on his bed and licked his hand. Sesshomaru giggled a little and held him tightly.
"I know Little Brother was lying to me. He was never a good liar. He loves me more than I love him. But it hurt so much when he said he hated me." Sesshomaru said to the little dog.
The dog barked in response.
"I miss him so much. It hurts. Inuyasha. I love you. I love you. Please, tell me you love me. Inuyasha. INUYASHA!" Sesshomaru shouted and collapsed on the bed with the puppy in his hands. He cried harder then he could ever remember. The puppy curled in Sesshomaru's arms and licked him. He knew this wouldn't make him feel better, but he had to try.
Izayoi walked into Sesshomaru's bedroom. She couldn't stifle the cry that had escaped her lips as she watched Sesshomaru shout her son's name over and over again. Sesshomaru looked up and saw her standing there. He noticed the tears in her eyes.
"What is it?" he asked still holding his little puppy.
Izayoi smiled a little as she saw him. He looked so helpless. His face was stained with tears and the puppy in his arms just added to the childish effect. Izayoi saw that behind his eyes he was calling for help. He was calling for Inuyasha to help him. She walked over to Sesshomaru and hugged him. He tried to escape at first then he relaxed. He cried into her shoulder.
"I don't want Inuyasha to say he hates me anymore. I want him to say he loves me. I know he does but I want him to say it. Why can't he say it?" Sesshomaru cried.
Izayoi held the young boy close. She felt like she would never let him go. She closed her eyes and let the tears fall. "He has too much morality. He doesn't want to hurt you. That's all. He just doesn't want to hurt you."
Izayoi held the crying boy and his puppy in her arms. She prayed for a miracle. Though she didn't expect one, she did hope for one.
"Oh my god, Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said covering his mouth.
"He was so upset. He just wanted you with him, Inuyasha. That was it." Myoga said.
Inuyasha didn't bother to wipe away the tears that fell down his face. "I never stopped thinking about him. He was my everything. Even now, I still feel the same. Nothing will ever change that."
"What happened after that?" Shippo asked.
Inuyasha looked at him and spoke between his tears.
