Whispers of a Dream: A Lost Memory
Part Three:
With that said the tori youkai flew off into the night sky. Shaking his head he said to an unexpected person that was hiding in the shadows of the dark forest.
"Come out, I know your there…………..Sesshomaru……."
Then out of the shadows of the forest, emerged the tall stoic demon lord of the west, his silver hair swayed back and forth behind him as the walked over to the figure that stood at the edge of the cliff that over looked the plentiful lands below. Like usual he wore pair of white haori and hakamas, which had red hexagons with white flowers in them on his left shoulder and on both hems of his haori while over the opposite shoulder his fluffy furry tail was wrapped around it, along with the spiked armor that was over his chest. As always his two faithful swords hanged by his side; Tokijin and Tensaiga. His steppes were silent and graceful, his golden amber eyes never leaving the figure before him as they narrowed into thin narrow golden slips.
"So, it has been a long time hasn't it," said the unknown figure.
"Yes it has hasn't it Lord Kurosuki, I assume you are well," relied Sesshomaru
The only reply from Lord Kurosuki was a gentle nod as he turned around to face sesshomaru, now that he was turned the moon light shined tenderly upon his well featured face(that didn't have a wrinkle in sight) illuminating his icy blue eyes and exotic navy blue marking (two on each side of his face and a navy star sitting in the curve of a dark black moon with silver lining on his forehead). Lord Kurosuki had dark mid night black hair that had red highlights at the end of them; his long hair was put up in a high pony tail. He was dressed in a pair of haori and hakamas much like sesshomaru's but they were black, with silver sakura blossoms instead of the traditional white that sesshomaru wore, along with a silver obi with navy and black strips.
"I believe that you are just informed, Lord Kurosuki."
"Ah, yes I have, now what are you up to Sesshomaru, you aren't still up set about Tetsusaiga now are you?" there was a bit of amusement in his voice as his eyes twinkled in the pale moon light.
Sesshomaru mentally flinched at that statement, sure he had thought it was unfair that his father the great dog demon had entrusted Tetsusaiga the sword that could kill a hundred demons in one swing to his ignorant half-brother Inuyasha and left him with the worthless, but have proven not to be worthless at times; Tensaiga the sword of life. His father's last words still rang in his head sometimes and being immortal his memories aren't bad, he could still remember that night the night before his father died to save a human wench and a worthless half breed……
The sky was a dark navy and purple color, all was quite except for the howling of the wind and the crushing of the ocean waves hitting the sea shores. It was a full moon under the bright pale blue rays of the moon, the snowy shores gave off a light blue glow making the scene seem very enchanting and eerie at the same time.
Drip, drip, drip, drip…………
The sound of crimson red blood dripped onto the snowy banks, staining the pure white snow crimson red. Beside a buried emerald green grass that swayed to the wind. Two lone figures stood in the winter wonderland. One had their back turned form the other. Red blood covered his talons and arms, which seemed to be gravely injured.
"Father, do you insist on going" asked one of the figures that were dressed in a white hakama and haori with a fluffy looking boa. The two figures were unaffected by the coldness of the mid winter night.
"Do you intend to stop me, sesshomaru?" he had a deep and wise voice.
"I will not stand in your way, how ever, before you go…you must entrust the swords, Sou'unga and Tetsusaiga, to me"
Slowly the bright moon light revealed the one called sesshomaru; he was tall, but not as tall as the man before him who was supposedly his father. The figure was dressed in a pair of white haori and hakamas that had red hexagons with white flowers in them on his left shoulder and both hems of his haori, with spiked armor. On his opposite shoulder a large fluffy tail was rapped around it, reaching to the floor. The man had long silver hair and golden amber eyes that bored into your very soul. Many exotic marking covered his face. There were two magenta colored strips on each side of his face and a navy blue crescent moon on the center of his forehead.
"And if I refuse?" questioned the other figure his back was turned and he was facing the stunning full moon of the night, that hang in the sky. You could see he too wore armor and had silver hair, but instead of leaving it free like his son, his hair was put up in a high pony tail.
"Will you kill me your own father?"
All was quite again, as his words drowned into the howling of the wind and the crushing sound of the waters. Sesshomaru remained silent as his father continued.
"Do you desire power so much? Why do you seek power my son……"
"The path I walk is the way of supreme conquest" finally replied sesshomaru
"And it is power that will reveal the way for me"
Gently the breeze blew though the snowy wonderland.
"The way of supreme conquest, huh? Tell me Sesshomaru……………………………………
Have you someone to protect?" said the figure as dark clouds covered the bright winter moon.
Golden amber eyes narrowed as he heard his father's question "some one to protect….." repeated sesshomaru then there was silence as he though
"The answer is no I, sesshomaru have no need for such,"
Suddenly the wind began to pick up as a fearsome howl could be heard all across the lands, his silver hair and clothing swayed to the wind as he looked to see his father in his inu youkai form, once again it howled to the moon, the sky darkened as he watched his father fun swiftly to the dark forest below. His father's last words echoed in his head.
'Have you someone to protect?'
"Why, would I have any reason wasting my time protecting someone,"
"Ridiculous" with last words of his own sesshomaru turned around and walked away fading to the darkness of the night…………………………………………………
Sesshomaru knew deep inside that what he had said that night was not true, he did have someone to protect, no the correct statement would be he had someone to protect and failed. Though he had been told it was not his fault and nor was it his responsibility many times but no matter what deep, deep down in his frozen heart was guilt…guilt for not doing his job, even if it was not really his job, it was just something that he had told him self that he would do even if it cost his own life. Anyways he really had no use for the Tetsusaiga now that he found out that with out it his worthless half brother would turn into an even more mindless demon that would go on a killing rampage until he was died. As for the taiyoukai of the North before him, how he was able to make him show the slightest emotion was beyond his knowing, but perhaps it was because Lord Kurosuki was the closest thing to a father when his own father died saving Inuyasha and his mortal mother, Izayoi. The father like lord had given him great advice and shared his wide knowledge as well as wisdom with him, since the death of his father and his region of the Western lands.
"Of, course not, this sesshomaru has no use for a priceless piece of junk any more," said sesshomaru almost snorting.
"I'm sure you don't," replied Lord Kurosuki with a hint of laughter in his voice as the wise lord took out a small, but well decorated silver box. The box fit perfectly in his out stretched palm as he held it out for sesshomaru to see. The carvings upon the little silver box were truly a work of art. The carving of the flowers held such descriptive detail, and the inu youkai on the front looked so real it was if it was alive. Raising a eyebrow sesshomaru questioned the Lord of the North silently, not wanting to brake the comforting silence of the night.
"It, belonged to her, I think she would have wanted you to have it…" he said gently his voice was practically a soft whisper in the wind. In his clear icy blue eyes, small crystals of tears began to form, blurring his usual clam blue eyes. Slowly sesshomaru reached for the tiny silver box; gently he took it into his hands as if afraid the slightest pressure would break it. His mind clouded with memories of the past and the laughter in her voice, everything seems to race through his mind. Not taking his eyes off the little box sesshomaru asked "Are you sure?"
"Yes, open it…" replied Lord Kurosuki gently.
Gradually sesshomaru opened the tiny silver box in his hands, to find a beautiful glowing crystal blue orb. The orb gave out a calming and comforting wave that relaxed sesshomaru instantly, lending him comfort and warmth. A small smile appeared on the stoic lord's face, it was tender and sad but tranquil, his eyes softened as well making his usual cold golden orbs glow a sun warming gold. Turing his eyes to the ancient writing on the led of the box, sesshomaru read it quickly as his eyes widened in surprise…
"It's not…, is it?" he quickly turned his glaze back to the inu youkai before him in question.
"It is……," that was all he said, his words lingered in sesshomaru's mind, as a peaceful breeze started to pick up.

Mean while……
Upon the Goshinbuko sat two teenaged looking kids, one had long silver hair with adorable fluffy doggie ears on the top of his head. He was wearing a pair of hakamas that were fiery red and had a white under shirt on. Around his neck held a bunch of prayer beads and little fang like beads as well. They were put on him by the village priestess Kaede, little sister to Kikyo the deceased priestess and his first love. In his arms he held a sleeping girl around the age of fifteen; she had shoulder length raven black hair and fair pale skin. Over the sleeping girl was the half-demon's fire rat haori, that shielded her form the night's cold. The pair seemed quite tranquil in there restless slumber, as the morning sun began to rise making the dark blue sky glow a bright orange. All around life began to break the silence of the quite morning, as the shouts of children began to fill the village not far away and the birds stated to sing joyously. The boy's puppy ears began to twitch at the sounds that came form the world around them, braking through his peaceful slumber as he opened his amber eyes. Scanning around his surrounding before his glaze settled on the girl that laid completely worry free in his comforting arms. Her heart beet rang in his sensitive ears as her chest rose up and down. Turing his glaze he looked at the beautiful meadow before him. The emerald green grass and the sun kissed yellow flowers danced in the gentle breeze along with the yellow and white butterflies. It was the beginning of another delightful day……
"Kagome, wake up…," whispered Inuyasha gently shaking her shoulder.
"Umm…five more minutes mom…ya five more minutes," mumbled kagome as she snuggled closer to inuyasha's chest.
"Wake up kagome," said Inuyasha getting frustrated.
"Go away you brat, I said five more minutes," grumbled kagome this time, turning around finding another comfortable position to lie in.
Inuyasha's stated to twitch at being called a brat and even though it wasn't even directed to him well at least in kagome's mind. Unable to control his temper Inuyasha yelled at kagome.
"Okay, get up lazy wench, hell I tried being nice, but you see that never works. So wake up!"
Slowly kagome opened her sleepy chocolate brown eyes to meet angry amber ones. While yawning she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and smiled sweetly at Inuyasha. Inuyasha only snorted and looked away.
"Good morning Inuyasha!" said kagome cheerfully. "Hey how did I get up here?" mumbled kagome as a faint blush creped on to her cheeks. "Umm…Inuyasha can we get down form here?"
"Feh!" snorted Inuyasha as he wrapped his arms around kagome and leaped down.
"Arigatou, and SIT BOY!" shouted kagome once they were on the ground and he had led go.
"What the hell was that for wench?" yelled Inuyasha form the dent in the ground, his voice was slight muffled.
"Humph, isn't it obvious, for calling me a lazy wench and yelling at me to wake up," countered kagome with her held high and nose in the air. Her foot taped impatiently while her arm where crossed over her chest.
"Hey, looks like we're late again," said a childish voice that belonged to the little kitsune demon standing on the monk Miroku's shoulders. Beside Miroku stood Sango her hand covering her laughter, Miroku too had a grin on his face. They were dressed as usual Miroku in his navy and purple monk robes and Sango in her light pink and dark magenta kimono with a green apron over her the other half of her kimono, she carrying the huge boomerang like weapon on her back that was easily as tall as her.
"Shippo, Sango, Miroku! Good morning," said kagome cheerfully. The hyper kitsune demon jumped form Miroku's shoulders into kagome's open arms. They shared a long embrace before he jumped out back to Miroku's shoulder again so kagome could hug Sango.
"Kagome, are you felling better?" asked a very concerned Sango, her normal brown orbs clouded with worry.
"Don't worry Sango I'm fine, but I'm going to go home to tell my mom that I'm going to stay here longer than usual cause who knows how long it would take for me to find what ever sesshomaru's looking for."
"Oi, wench who said you could go home?" blurted out Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, came on I won't take long I'll be back by tomorrow, please…" plead kagome with shinning puppy dog eyes that no one could refuse.
"Fine," grumbled Inuyasha.
"Yeah! Arigatou Inuyasha," 'hum…I should do that more often,' thought kagome.
"Okay, everyone I'm off, see you tomorrow," said kagome as she picked up her yellow backpack form under the Goshinbuko and swung it over her shoulders. Turning around she waved cheerfully as she begin to walk in the direction of the mystical well that was her portal back home. Soon her friends disappeared out of sight as came upon the clearing of the well and were the battle between sesshomaru and Inuyasha had taken place. Her mind was still confused about what happened, because all she knew was that one moment she was scared out of her mind for Inuyasha then the next thing she knew she was in some kind of dark void while something else was controlling her body and speaking with her voice, but hey she's not complaining inuyasha's alive isn't he? Okay so maybe she had to go on some stupid quest to help sesshomaru find what ever he's looking for, and for heaven's sake she had no clue what they were looking for let alone where to find it.
Breaking out of her troubling thoughts kagome looked up to see that she had reached the old bone eater's well. Long dark green vines coming form the inside of the old dried up well, covered the well. 'The well, my way home back to my era and the way here to the era of my friends. You know sometimes I feel that I really would like it here much better, it's like this era gives me more of a home felling then well home.' With a glance at clearing around her kagome jumped into the well, a mystic blue light surrounded kagome as she traveled through the passage of time. Her hair flowed smoothly behind her as she traveled. Gently feeling the ground underneath her again kagome stood with her arms out stretched to balance her. She was home. Grabbing the latter kagome climbed out of the well and walked out of the little well house into the bright sun light. Kagome skipped in the direction of her house, but stopped when she was in front of the secrete god tree. Beautiful white blossoms covered the god tree, as the wind blew by peddles of the flower would slowly fall on to the ground. On the way down they danced and spined in the wind before finally falling on to the ground. Mesmerized by its beauty kagome stared at it with a tranquil look for awhile before remembering that she was suppose to be on her way home. With one last glance kagome walked towards the house.
"Mom, I'm home!" shouted kagome, but she was greeted with silence. The house was so still and quite that it made kagome nervous. Dropping her large yellow back pack on the ground kagome waked to the kitchen; where her mother was usually at, but found no one. Quietly she walked back to the living room and picked up her backpack before walking up stairs to her room. Her room was not the biggest room ever but it was enough for all her things. It had a bed, a work table and a mirrored dresser on the left side of the door. On the wooden floor between her bed and table was a small pink rug.
Once in her room kagome throw her back pack on to the ground by her table before popping on to the bed. 'Where was her family?' kagome was starting to get worried, but then she remembered that her mom told her the other day that they would be going somewhere and would be back by dinner. So pretty much had the house to her self for the entire day until dinner. 'Hum…what should I do now? I know…' getting up kagome ran over to her closet and took out a red mini skirt that reached up to mid thigh along with some underwear and a white t-shirt that had red ribbon lacing at the hem of the shirt that meet on the left side where it's tied together in a bow with extra ribbon falling to her mid thigh.
After gathering all she needed kagome headed for the bath room to take a warm relaxing bath, for it was probably the only decent on she would get in a while. Placing her clothing on the counter by the sink kagome walked over to the bathtub and turned on the water. Using her hands she tested the warmth of the water before letting it fill the tub. Turning back to the cabinet she opened the door to grab a clear glass jar shaped like a star that contained a creamy golden liquid and placed it carefully on a small shelf by the bath tub. Then kagome started to take off of her clothing, after she was nude she slipped into the warm waters that covered her chest. Reaching up kagome grabbed a bottle of milk and honey scented bubble bath and pored quite a bit in to the tub. Slowly using her delicate hand she spread the liquid over the water mixing them together and pretty soon the whole surface of the water was covered by a layer of bubbles. Sighing happily kagome sank deeper into the comforting waters wandering what she going to do with the rest of day.
Around 45 minutes later kagome decided that it was time to get out. So she quickly shampooed her hair with the creamy substance in the star shaped glass jar, before she rinsed in slight cooler waters. Missing the warmth of the waters kagome shivered as she got out and warped a large fluffy pink towel around her shivering body. Grabbing another towel kagome began to dry her wet raven black locks, that do to the wetness was a bit curled at the ends. After drying the rest of her body kagome put on her panties and bra before sliding on her mid thigh high mini skirt and her white t-shirt with red ribbon lacing. Getting a brush kagome began to brush her hair until she got out all the tangles. Opening the door kagome walked out of the bath room only to meet a slight cooler air, walking down the hall to her room kagome went over to her closet and took out her white wallet that had an adorable picture of doggie on it. Placing it in her skirt pocket kagome walked out of her bed room door and down stairs to the kitchen.
Walking over to the cabinets kagome searched around for some pocky sticks and to her delight found some chocolate and strawberry flavored ones. 'Yes!' Feeling cheerful kagome decided that she would go out side, but her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. This made kagome jump a foot high, after calming down kagome walked over to the door to find……
