Chapter 9: Broken Decisions
Inuyasha sighed and smacked himself in the forehead. He was walking up the staircase that whirled and swirled around in a spiral, seeming that it would never end.
"Would you believe it? My bloodthirsty half-brother saved Kagome..." He muttered to himself. He shook his head. This was all too confusing.
'But why would he save her?'
Inuyasha paused, staring up toward the grand chandelier that hung from the ceiling.
...
[ Inuyasha, don't! ] The voice that the hanyou had grown to love was tingling at the back of his head again.
[ What are you doing!? Sesshoumaru is our enemy! He'll kill us any minute! ] Inuyasha grimaced when he recognized his own voice.
[ Inuyasha.. would you really kill your own brother? ] The miko's voice was now quiet, and held back.
[ Keh! Considering what he has done to snatch Tetsusaiga.. yes, I would! ]
[ Inuyasha... He is of your own flesh and blood- ]
[ So!? ]
[ Inuyasha.. just... ]
[ What!?]
[ Osuwari! }
Inuyasha blinked and remembered the usual painful dirt-in-the-face routine. He remembered now -
That was when Sesshoumaru was injured from a recent battle with powerful youkai. But that did not mean that Sesshoumaru lost his cockiness. Sesshoumaru, seeing Inuyasha's sword upon notice, demanded that he handed over Tetsusaiga.
Of coarse. They battled. Inuyasha won. Sesshoumaru was hurt. Then somehow, Kagome gets all worked up about the crap!
'But why? Why did Kagome save him?'
Well, duh. Kagome had always been a considerate soul, one of the reasons Inuyasha liked her so... but then again.. that soul always got them into trouble countless times.
He finally landed on the landing, looking around, he realized he was in an abandoned tower filled with dusty furniture.
He chose to sit on bench beside a square opening that served as a window.
'Sesshoumaru always hated humans. What has changed? Other than Rin, I haven't seen him defend any other ningen.'
A unexpected flutter of wings interrupted any farther thinking. A yellow canary landed on the ledge and chirped.
Inuyasha recognized the friend and stroked its small yellow head.
"Why?"
*
Inuyasha briskly passed a random room without notice. But the well-known scent of jasmine and roses, mingled with Inu youkai scent stopped him.
Inuyasha whirled around and peeked into the room, ignoring the nagging feelings that told him that he shouldn't.
He gasped.
Kagome was in his brother's arms, holding eachother tightly as though their lives depended on it. The aura was peaceful and loving. Kagome's eyes were closed, and her face showed of pure contentment. A pang of jealousy welled in the hanyou. Never has he seen Kagome looking so peaceful.
Sesshoumaru shifted and lifted his face to look at Kagome. The miko's lips lifted into a gentle smile. Slowly, his face began to lower to her's.
'No, no, no, no!' Inuyasha's mind screamed. Anger pounded inside his veins, and he desperately wanted to tear them apart... But he was rooted to the spot.
He watched as Kagome's amber eyes fluttered open. A brief sign of shock flashed before them when Sesshoumaru's lips touched her's.
Kagome stiffened for a moment, before melting under the youkai's soft lips and responding..
....Inuyasha's fists closed tightly, claws digging sharply into his flesh. He couldn't take this anymore.
"NO!"
~
Kagome gasped as Inuyasha dashed into the room, snarling madly. Anger, and.. misery-?- was evident in his eyes.
Sesshoumaru neatly dodged out of the way as Inuyasha's claws swept the empty air. Inuyasha growled and pursued.
Kagome leapt to her feet and flinched as she heard the sound of wood shattering. She opened her eyes to see Inuyasha's fist trapped deeply in the wall, he was growling loudly as he struggled madly to be free.
Kagome approached slowly, finally realizing that Inuyasha's golden eyes had turned a bright red.
"Inuyasha?" She whispered. She stepped even closer before a hand caught her arm.
Sesshoumaru shook his head, his eyes narrowed.
"He's dangerous." He said simply. Kagome shook her head.
"Shh, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." She replied. The Lord reluctantly let go, and watched as she made her way beside the insane hanyou.
"Inuyasha." She said quietly. "Inuyasha, shhh. I'm here." She crooned. "Shhh, Inuyasha, calm down. Please...? Inuyasha...?"
The Taiyoukai watched in amazement as his younger brother's eyes returned to their normal state. His claws and fangs retracted, a troubled look came across the half-demon's face.
"Kagome.."
The miko stroked his face with a soft hand, still whispering quietly.
"I'm here, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha turned away. Kagome stood back up, a hurt expression upon her face. Inuyasha sensed her uneasiness and turned back to look at her.
The wonder there almost broke her heart. Such pain, such sadness. Kagome had never seen such strong emotions in anybody's eyes like this.
"How could you...?" He whispered. His voice filled with resentment.
Kagome stuttered for an answer. Shame washed over her as she realized what he was talking about.
"I-I don't know..." She finally uttered. Tears spilled from Kagome's beautiful eyes and onto her cheeks. "I really don't know.."
A final sob, and she fled from the room...
-Sesshoumaru paused at the doorway, looking back at his brother.
Inuyasha had managed to free himself. The hanyou's head was bowed, silver hair hid his face. His figure was hunched to the floor, posture evidently illustrating defeat.
Sesshoumaru finally walked away from the room, hoping to find Kagome.
No one would know that the Western Lord had left because he smelt tears mingled with hanyou's scent...
