Disclaimer: DON'T OWN INUYASHA! Sniff, sniff
A/N: SORRY! I'm so so so sorry I did not update sooner, I would've if I could've. My mom was getting really mad at me because I wasn't keeping up with my school work so well (I got a B) so she said I couldn't post anything until after the 4th. So those who are mad at me, please forgive me and just to let you know that your reviews are appreciated! Ok enough of me rambling! On with the story!Chapter 6: Beginning to use their minds
Miroku woke up covered in something………what it was, he didn't know himself. He could've sworn he gave Sango and Kagome his blanket so they wouldn't be could on this chilly night. He looked down and saw something that sparkled in the moonlight it was…a spiders web? Then a thought struck him 'Naraku! He's trying to kill me while I'm sleeping! That grimy bastard!' he tried to free himself but found that it wasn't working so the only way to get out was to ask for help. He looked around and saw Inuyasha asleep, if fact Inuyasha was snoring like a bear. However there was another snoring sound accompanying him he looked over and saw Naraku. He began to panic. If Inuyasha was hear sleeping the night away then who was keeping watch…..He forgot Sesshomaru was with the group.
He heard a whimpering coming from somewhere he looked to his left to where Naraku was. It looked as if he was actually having a bad dream. One whimper was a little pitiful and you see a web shoot out from his hand and then you see Naraku smile. 'He must have been dreaming something evil was coming after him, and I just so happened to be in his way.' He thought to himself. He sat there trying to go back to sleep, but he couldn't get comfortable for the fact that in a suffocating kind of blanket. He heard the slightest kind of rustling to his right, and there stood Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru must've thought he was sleeping because he looked around at everything but the sleeping bodies. He then placed himself in front of Inuyasha. Miroku could have sworn that a look of compassion crossed the noble inu-youkai's face. He reached over to Inuyasha. 'I wouldn't do that if I were you! He doesn't even let Kagome touch him while he sleeps!' Miroku thought. But he was shocked when Inuyasha didn't strike Sesshomaru or try to move away from the contact, if fact Inuyasha leaned into the hand if nothing else. A small smile crossed Inuyasha's features. He muttered something that sounded like 'Nissan', didn't Nissan mean big brother?
"Sleep Inuyasha."
The sleeping hanyou gave a pouting face in his sleep
"Do you remember when we were kids, and we had father so mad at us both almost all of the time?"
Inuyasha just had a look of contentment on his face
"Back then I really didn't show my feelings for you, but somehow you knew I really did love you."
Inuyasha started to make a sound that resembles a cats purr
"I bet you do…….I got into so much trouble sometimes cause you decided to pull a fast one on dad, and he always thought it was me. Do you have any idea how many extra lessons I got because you never confessed? You were always getting me into trouble."
Inuyasha actually cooed in his sleep and smiled
"Look at you, you remember, little brat."
Inuyasha (still asleep mind you) started to crawl over to his brother and put his head in Sesshomaru's lap. Sesshomaru was shocked to say the least. Inuyasha said something like a 'orry'. Sesshomaru looked down at him and smiled again, it was only because no one was awake or around that he was actually showing emotion. Plus with Rin and Kagura kidnapped and the past coming back to fast for the youkai lord he was mentally and physically worn out. Moreover, he actually needed someone to not only love but to love him back. Of course he would never ever say to anybody that he 'loved' somebody then he would loose his reputation. He stroked his little brothers hair and rubbed his ears just like he did to get him to go to sleep when he had to baby-sit him. Deep down he knew his little brother was just the person to go to when he absolutely needed something.
When he found Inuyasha started to stir he hurriedly put him back where he was. He looked at him one last time and decided to go back on watch. He stopped however and looked at Miroku. What the silent night heard next was an actual chuckle fill Sesshomaru's throat. He went over to Miroku and tried to start to undo the massive blanket that covered him. 'Maybe he isn't so bad after all.' He was down to the last strand of silk, however Naraku had another bad feeling and some cam shooting out and got not only Miroku this time but Sesshomaru as well. Sesshomaru tried to get out but he couldn't. Miroku decided that now was the time to tell Sesshomaru he was awake.
"You wont get out." Sesshomaru snapped his neck and looked at Miroku with eyes of questioning
"Your up?"
"Yes, a while actually."
"What did you see?"
"I don't know but I heard mumbles hear and there."
"Good."
"Was there something I wasn't suppose to?"
"I Sesshomaru have nothing to hide."
"Really?"
"Yes!" he snapped showing his fangs
"Good buddha I was just asking."
"Your apology is accepted."
"I….." he trailed off when he noticed Inuyasha looking at the tow
"Sesshomaru aren't you on watch?"
"I was."
"Why are you hear then? And what happed?" Inuyasha asked
"Because Naraku was whimpering so he came to see what that was about." Miroku said covering up for Sesshomaru
"Oh, well that's odd."
"Look Inuyasha, it seems Naraku is asleep and he's having a bad dream, go wake him up." Miroku said
Inuyasha went over to the spider youkai and shook him awake, but Naraku would not wake up. Therefore, he shook harder, still nothing so he started to shake him and call his name. Suddenly Inuyasha had a vision of a little Naraku sleeping on the floor with a blanket wrapped around him, he was having a bad dream, and a little him trying to wake him up. Then a little Sesshomaru walked into the room, looked at them, and began to laugh. Little Inuyasha was quite mad that his brother was laughing at him. Little Sesshomaru went over to the little Naraku and growled at him. Little Naraku woke with his eyes wide opened and nearly hit the ceiling. Little Sesshomaru mouthed 'That's what ya gotta do to get him out of a bad dream.'
Inuyasha looked over to Sesshomaru and saw that he was just as confused as he was. So both of them at the same time growled in both frustration and tiredness. Both of them needed to sleep, but both would never admit it. Naraku woke with a start saying something like 'Don't hurt my baby girl!' Miroku, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha looked at him with a blank face. But then Miroku started to laugh Inuyasha just shook his head but Sesshomaru looked at Naraku with wondering eyes.
"What did you say, or what did you dream?"
"That's none of your business."
"Naraku I mean it, if you don't so help me buddah, I will make you suffer in every other way I can. And put me down this instance!" Sesshomaru said a little irritated yet still so calm it was nerve wracking. Him, and Miroku were lowered from the cocoon of silk they were now sitting around the fire talking quietly
"Naraku, usually all of your bad dreams come true."
"How do you know that!"
"I don't know how I just do."
"I had a dream that Kagura right now she's ……" he trailed off
"Your always saying you don't care about her and your always inflicting pain on her so why care now?" Inuyasha asked
"Hate to admit it but the hanyou has a point." Sesshomaru said
"I don't know, these past weeks I have looked at her more than a servant and more like the daughter she is."
"Well at least it's a good change for once, eh Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha said elbowing his older brother however Sesshomaru looked so distant
"You feel it too
Sesshomaru, don't you, the feeling a father gets when his little
girl is in trouble. I can tell."
"She's. ……She's
hurting, I can feel it with everything in me. As for Nir, she's
despairing."
"Your first daughter, my niece?" Inuyasha asked
"Yes."
"You said that your first wife name was Arugak?"
"Yes." Sesshomaru said a little irritated
"And your first daughter her name was Nirania or Nir right?"
"What are you getting at?"
"You don't find it a little weird."
"Find what weird?"
"Arugak backwards is Kagura and Nir backwards is Rin."
"………" Sesshomaru couldn't believe it, but it was true both of them were so much alike
"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked
"If Lucisherkon knows this then… then….." he couldn't bring himself to say it
"He'll what Sesshomaru? You can tell us come on."
"He will kill Rin and Kagura."
