YEAH! I'm so happy! The story my friend and I are working on is getting really good. And I can't wait to get to the good stuff! Anyways, I just wanted to say, Harley you big dork! We made fools out of ourselves at the public pool today! OMG! But it was so funny! Specially when your 'tail' got pulled!
This chapter is dedicated to Kouga, because I don't know when I'm bringing him in. Sorry Kouga!
Kouga: Yeah, sure you are...
Past Love and Memories
.:Last Time:.
"Will you stop hitting me, woman! She's not here but she is back. Butai (element) pulsed earlier. Akumi used the fang today. She's the only one who can use it besides me, so that means that she's here." he grinned and twirled her around. "My little sister is back!"
.:Now:.
Sesshomaru was standing in his court yard when he once again felt the surge of power come from the eastern part of his lands. It was massive, as usual, and very familiar. He looked in the direction, as if the said power would suddenly appear in front of him.
After a few moments of contemplating he finally turned back to his home. The castle was still as strong as ever, and wouldn't need repairing for another century or so. The iron gates that breeches the giant ten feet wall that guarded his lawn, was very powerful and donned the mark of the house of the moon.
The gardens were beautiful and were looked on in awe at any who had the lucky chance to see it. The pathways were marked by different statues of later lords and ladies. Most from the House of the Moon, and all demons. All except one. It was a statue of Lady Izayoi. Lord InuTashio stood on one side of the path, holding up his sword Souunga, and had Tetsaiga on his left hip, with Tensaiga on his right. He had a look of triumph on his face, and his eyes seemed to glisten with the laughter that was Lord InuTashio, greatest ruler of The Western Lands.
Sesshomaru's mother, Keisei, stood across from him, a fan hiding the bottom half of her face, and her hand reaching up, holding a dagger in her hand. Her hair was up in many pins, and barrettes, that were as big as his fist. Her tail wrapped around her waist, almost shielding a kattana, made from her father's fang.
Next to her, not six inches apart, stood the human, Izayoi. Her long hair was strait reaching her lower back, and pulled back by sakura blossoms. Her kimono was long and covered her feet., and the sleeves hiding her right arm that hung loosely at her side. Her left and was up at her neck, touching the crescent moon necklace that her husband had given her as a token of affection.
Sesshomaru barely glanced at the statues, but he remembered looking at his mothers when he was young. Before InuTashio took the human as his mate. Before he would look at hi mother's statue and see the human stand next to her, like an equal.
As Sesshomaru walked through the gardens he decided to stop and look at the statues. He looked towards his father, and stared at it for many moments. 'If I would have beaten you, I would be known as the most powerful taiyoukai ever.' He stared for a few more moments, and nodded his head in respect. Then he turned to his mother. 'I barely knew you. You were gone by the time I turned thirteen. Father waited two hundred years to find another mate. A human mate.' He growled low in his throat. 'What would you have done when you found out that he took a mortal as a mate? Would you have degraded him as so many did? As I did?'
Finally, his gaze turned to the human at his mother's side. 'And you. My father's wench. You were undeserving of the title The Lady of the Western Lands. You gave birth to dirty blood, a hanyou. He's pitiful, and travels among humans such as yourself. He travels, with what is at his ranking.' He then turned on his heal. Not looking back to the statues that seemed to listen to his thoughts so well.
As he swiftly, and gracefully walked to his study, he stopped by the lake. He watched as Rin tried to push Jaken in the lake. But the toad kept evading her by falling to the ground. Most likely his falling to the ground was do to him stumbling in his brown robes. Sesshomaru smirked slightly, but it disappeared as quickly as it came. He turned to leave when all of a sudden he flt a great pulse of power coming from the Eastern parts of his lands. Towards Inuyasha's Forest.
The pulse was strong and almost defiant in nature. Yet it seemed so familiar. He couldn't quite place where he felt it before. It was then and there that he decided to go and find out what that power was. The power that could almost rival his own.
&&&&&&&Akumi Time &&&&&&&&&&&&
Akumi was still pretty pissed at the fact that Inuyasha called her brother angry. But she did realize that it did sound kind of strange. It just seemed natural to her. She's been taught to listen to her katanna since she got it, which was about around the time she turned 10. That's five years! Of course it come natural to her. Which made it even more hard for her to apologize.
"Umm...Inuyasha?" Akumi stumbled out.
"Yeah? Wadda ya want?" he said in an exasperated manner.
"IjustwantedtosaythatI'msorry!" she let it all out in one breath, and turned away so she could walk to the hot springs with the girls. Well, so she thought.
"Huh?" he said confusingly.
She sighed and turned around facing him. "I said I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you about the katanna thing. It's just that I've been trained to listen to it for five years. It's normal for me to listen to my sword."
"Oh." he waved his hand as if to brush it aside. "I forgot about that."
Akumi sweat dropped, b covered it up and said, "It doesn't mean you can call my brother names, ya know." She glared at him until he gave a 'keh.' then she walked away to the hot springs. Unfortunately, while she was busy apologizing, the girls had already finished. She would have to bathe a lone. 'Wait, that's a good thing! I can relax until I feel like it. I don't feel like eating tonight anyways.'
When she got to the spring she gasped in awe. "It had been so long since she seen a spring, that she almost forgot what kind of beauty it could hold. Not to mention the relaxation.
The spring was surrounded by a layer of flat rocks, that had little daisies poking out in between the cracks. The back of the spring was shielded by a cave like wall, and it had little holes in it that would be good to shelf things. The water itself had rocks shallowing out by the bank, perfect for sitting, and then lowering until you got to the middle. It was truly a spring made for women.
Akumi quickly stripped and shelved her clothes, kattana and toiletries. She smiled as she waded in the pool and sat on one of the many layers of rock, submerging herself until just the top of her breasts showed above the water. She was so relaxed, that she almost didn't notice the youkai hiding in the bushes only ten feet away.
When she all of a sudden sensed a youkai near by. She smelled the air, realizing that it was an inu-youkai. The demon's youkai gave off a strong aura, so she jumped out of the water grabbing her kattana out of the shelf of the rock. The moment her feet touched the ground the youkai appeared. She gasped as her father walked out of the bushes. "Da-dad?" she whispered.
That's what I call a cliffy! And I'm so happy that this idea came to me. At first I was going to make it be Kouga, but I decided to wait on him..Sorry, Kouga.
Kouga: Yeah, Right! I haven't even been mentioned yet!
Me: You'll be in soon! I promise!
Inu: Yeah, you mangy wolf shut up!
Sessh: You are getting on This Sesshomaru's nerves, wolf prince.
Keith: Oh no! Don't get on Sesshy's nerves! The world will come into an end!
Sessh: Shut that hole you call a mouth, copy!
Me: Shut up! He's my muse and what he just said is true! Everything gets on your nerves! You frickin' pain in the ass!
Kouga and Inu: HAHA!
Keith: Thank you, and can I do the recommendations? PLEASE!
Whit: SURE!
Keith: We recommend the story Whispered Dreams by Youkai no Yume. (Again the stories are on It's an AU type. And it's really good. Kagome is a ghost, who becomes friends with Sesshomaru. They grow close and Sesshomaru ends up falling in love. But how can you be with someone that you can only touch once every thirty days?
Me: Well, that was a pretty interesting story..I don't know if I've already recommended this story so I'm going to do so now, its called Our Screwed Up Lives. My friend and I made it, and its under writingcat730 on Its pretty good and has a lot of funny moments.)
