Inuyasha; A Feudal Fairy Tale – The Sesshoumaru Blues

Chapter Twelve – Raining Pain

"Sesshoumaru!" Zayane called out, sliding the shoji open. Sesshoumaru and Kagome jumped. Kagome pulled the blankets up to cover her nude body. Zayane looked at Sesshoumaru with wide eyes. Zayane slowly shook her head.

"Zay…" Sesshoumaru was going to explain that he didn't know how it happened.

"Don't!... Call me that." Zayane said taking a deep breath. Zayane was fixing to yell. "INUYAAAASHAAAAA!"

"Yeah?" Inuyasha responded, his foot steps echoing in Kagome's ears.

"O-suwari!" She called, Inuyasha hit the floor.

"What the hell did I do?" Inuyasha said, scrambling to his feet, to storm Kagome.

"O-suwari!" She said again. It was all she had to delay Inuyasha. "Sesshoumaru, where are my clothes!"

"How the hell am I supposed to know!" Sesshoumaru started kicking her from under the futon. Kagome panicked. Zayane grabbed Inuyasha by his arm, throwing him into the room with all her might. She was letting all of her restraints go. Inuyasha tripped, landing on his hands to break the fall. Inuyasha lifted his head to see Kagome and Sesshoumaru, barely dressed. His vision became distorted because of disbelief.

Zayane crossed her arms. "Inuyasha, let's go." She said, picking him up.

"No wait, I want to talk to Kagome!"

"It's the same story! Let's go!" Zayane ordered.

"I have to talk to her, now!" Inuyasha tried to fight with Zayane. She lifted her hand to her eye patch. Sesshoumaru knew what she was about to do.

"Wait!" Sesshoumaru said. Zayane turned her head, lifting her eye patch and that was all Sesshoumaru could see as her and Inuyasha disappeared.

BLUES

Inside the void, Inuyasha was shocked.

"What just happened?" Inuyasha said looking at the frozen Sesshoumaru and Kagome. They were the only things in color. Zayane tried to smile at Inuyasha.

"Welcome to my world." Zayane said pulling Inuyasha by the hand.

"Why won't you let me talk to Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. Zayane sighed.

"Because I don't want to talk to Sesshoumaru."

"So? I don't care about what you want to do!" Inuyasha shouted. Zayane grabbed him by the upper kimono. Zayane shook him a little.

"You have no idea what this is like for me. To be slain by Naraku, to die a slow and painful death. Just to be resurrected to have my heart executed by Sesshoumaru! We will leave and we will avoid saying things to our mates that would make things much worse!" Zayane pulled Inuyasha, forcing him down on his knees. "Now, you'll give me a ride to somewhere peaceful." Zayane got on his back her blue eye watching him. Inuyasha wrapped his arms under her legs, leaping off in the Kagome-Inuyasha style.

Inuyasha watched the trees in black and white pass under him. "So this is what it's like…?" Inuyasha tried to make conversation. Zayane rested her chin on Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Isn't it boring…" Zayane sighed. Inuyasha sighed as well.

"I never thought that… She would…"

"I never thought that Sesshoumaru would, either." Zayane sniffed. "Why me? Inuyasha?" She started crying. She closed her eyes tightly and everything returned into color. Inuyasha watched the green tree tops, sway in the wind.

"Hey now!" Inuyasha comforted. "You don't see me crying, do you?"

"That's because you didn't have a kid with Kagome, idiot!" Zayane smart mouthed. Zayane tightened her arms around Inuyasha's neck, but she wasn't choking him. Inuyasha could feel her pain, the tension in her muscles.

"I'm sorry, Zayane… I was only trying to help."

"I know, Inuyasha. I'm sorry as well. Let's go to a hot spring." Zayane suggested. Inuyasha reminisced. He slowly started sinking from the air. Inuyasha pushed off a near by tree branch, soaring back into the skies.

"I haven't actually sat in one for a while… Since I went with you when I was younger." Inuyasha said. Zayane pulled down her eye patch.

"Then let's go, and I'll wash your hair since Sesshoumaru has found someone else to do it for him." Zayane cringed. That slut Kagome.

Inuyasha bounded along the ground, staying under the trees. It took them about an half an hour to find one that wasn't populated. Inuyasha kneeled close to the ground to let Zayane off his back. Zayane stepped down feeling like a princess even though her prince slept with a prostitute. Inuyasha looked at Zayane with huge eyes.

"Um… We don't have any towels." Inuyasha said. They blinked a few times.

"I'm ashamed you'd even think I'd look at your goodies, Inuyasha!" Zayane shouted. "You go in first, I promise I won't look at you." Zayane turned her back away from Inuyasha. "And you promise you won't look at me?" Zayane asked.

"Of course!" Inuyasha said, keeping his back towards Zayane. It was all they could think of doing to take their minds away from what they saw. They began undressing backs facing each other. Inuyasha pulled off his haori, and Zayane removed the kimono ties. Her obi flopped to the ground, the sound made Inuyasha turn his head. He knew he wasn't supposed to be looking.

But Zayane was already looking at Inuyasha. "What are you doing?" She asked with her eyes practically dots.

"I was making sure you weren't looking at me." Inuyasha lied.

"You were looking at me!" Zayane shouted.

"You're gross!" Inuyasha countered. Zayane snapped her head back to center position, pulling off her kimono. Inuyasha did the same, stepping into the water first. The water was very hot, so hot Inuyasha could barely stand it. There was a rock formation that made a natural bench. Inuyasha sat down in the water. It came up to his chest.

"Turn your head to your left." Zayane instructed. Inuyasha closed his eyes and did so.

"No one wants to see you, Zay-Ane." Inuyasha said, feeling Zayane step into the water. She sat rather close to Inuyasha, the water coming up to her shoulders. It was quiet between them.

"What are you going to say to Kagome?" Zayane asked, playing with the water, squirting it away from herself.

"I don't know… I might want to see what Kikyou is doing since Kagome wants to have options and won't let me have any of my own. Slut."

Zayane repeated. "Slut…" Inuyasha ran his fingers through his hair, they got caught at some point.

"What about Sesshoumaru? What are you going to say to him?" Inuyasha asked. "You should have never gotten involved with him."

"I don't know what I'm going to say to Sesshoumaru. I find myself forgiving him since I'm away from him. Now that I've had time to think after giving myself a time…" Inuyasha held up his hand, sniffing the air.

"Do you smell that?" Inuyasha whispered into Zayane's ear. It was kind of sexy. Zayane sniffed the air with narrowed eyes.

"Don' t know, Inuyasha. Smells like, wet dog. I don't know, Inuyasha! I'm not a dog demon!" Inuyasha slipped his hand over Zayane's mouth. Inuyasha didn't want her to speak. There was something near.

Inuyasha slowly moved away from the spot they were sitting, pulling Zayane backwards. Inuyasha had forgotten that they were naked and Zayane could fell his—thing­—against her thigh. Zayane's eye twitched. Zayane nudged Inuyasha and gave a cough through his hand. Inuyasha turned red all over.

"S-sorry." He noticed.

"What exactly are we doing…?" Zayane was confused.

"Well, well, well…" The voice familiar to Inuyasha, but a stranger to Zayane. "If it isn't the mutt himself."

"Kouga…" Inuyasha sat back down on the bench. "I was hoping you wouldn't hear us." Kouga walked over, wearing his wolf tribe uniform. Zayane slowly slanted her head, looking Kouga up and down.

"A wolf demon…?" Zayane asked.

"Yeah? What's it to you?" Kouga shouted, taking off his leg warmers and his arm gauntlets. He was going to get in as well. Zayane looked at Inuyasha hoping Inuyasha could get the wolf demon to stop. It seemed like they knew each other. Inuyasha made a face that indicated that he couldn't then he shrugged.

Kouga's armor hit the ground, next to Zayane's clothes. Zayane's eyes nearly exploded out of her eye sockets, the only thing left for Kouga to remove was his fur loin clothe.

"Um, Kouga. You're fucking nasty, go find another hot spring." Inuyasha said. Kouga laughed with his hands on his hips.

"Can it, mutt. I see you got a new squeeze. So is Kagome for the taking?" Kouga said dropping his fur loin clothe. It was right out of a movie, through his legs sat Inuyasha and Zayane. Zayane had a nose bleed, sinking into the water, the bubbles rising as her eye balls seemed to be melting. Inuyasha had bug eyes in shock that Kouga would just—do that then and there. Inuyasha shook it off as Zayane wasn't as fortunate to wash it out of her mind.

"I guess Kagome is for the taking, but this isn't my new squeeze, this is my sister, Zayane." Inuyasha said. Kouga stepped into the water, covering up his goods. Zayane could think straight once they were out of sight. But Kouga was coming over. Zayane scooted close to Inuyasha, pushing him in front of her. She didn't want to be near Kouga after seeing his goods. It wasn't a horrible sight, oh no. It was just that Zayane would make the conclusion that Kouga was a beast in the bed from ogling his goods. She didn't want to be poked with 'it' accidentally.

Kouga pushed Inuyasha aside and poked Zayane in the forehead—WITH HIS FINGER. "But she's black." Zayane narrowed her eyes.

"She's my sister-in-law." Inuyasha corrected. Kouga nodded.

"A pretty fine human." Kouga said looking her up and down. "Something different, something exotic." Kouga started to smile.

"I have a son!" Zayane said to make him turn away. Kouga frowned. Zayane sighed, glad she turned the 'thing' off. Kouga stared at her. Before she had time to react, Kouga was pulling on her eye patch.

"What happened to your eye?" Zayane glared.

"Leave me alone!" Zayane cried out.

"Would you stop bothering her? Or she'll show you what's under the eye patch the hard way." Inuyasha threatened for Zayane. Zayane looked over to Inuyasha, like, 'I am?'

"Is she?"

"AM I?" Zayane panicked. Kouga moved closer to Zayane. "I like 'em feisty

Zayane could hear her mind chanting, 'Zo-san (1), Zo-san, Zo-san!' Zayane's eyes darted back and forth. "Iron Reaver!" Zayane called out, giving Kouga a chance to move away.

"Pfft, like that petty attack that Inuyasha does is going to keep me from you." Kouga boasted.

"Um… Never mind." Inuyasha was going to tell Kouga that Zayane taught it to him and her Iron Reaver would probably be as deadly as ever. Inuyasha kicked back and watched.

"Soul Stealer!" Zayane finished the incantation, throwing her arm out sending a large wave of claws at Kouga. Kouga ducked into the water, the claws missing and cutting down at least 20 trees, leaving a gap. The gap didn't expose the hot spring to the peering world either. Kouga popped out of the water with bug eyes.

"Woman!" Kouga cried out. "You just tried to kill me!"

"I didn't mean to!" Zayane was truly sorry for some reason. "It was just a warning shot!"

"What the hell, Inuyasha? Why didn't you tell me she was stronger than you?" Kouga yelled. Inuyasha frowned at Kouga's persistency. Kouga pushed Inuyasha out of the way getting next to Zayane. Zayane froze. "How about you ditch this mutt and come with me?" Zayane had to actually think about it. She put a finger to her chin.

"Zay!" Inuyasha shouted at her for even considering.

"Sorry! No, Kouga." Zayane said. Zayane started working her fingers in Inuyasha's hair, getting ready to clean it. Inuyasha had fleas too. It was obvious that Kagome never combed it or let alone washed it for him. Kouga started to howl, the sound piercing the ears. Zayane covered her ears and Inuyasha did, too.

"Kouga! Have a cup of shut the fuck up, would ya?" Inuyasha cursed at him.

"Not until the exotic one comes with me!" Kouga howled louder.

"FINE!" Zayane shouted, reaching for her eye patch. Kouga barked with joy. Inuyasha put a hand to his head. Zayane had disappeared.

"Where'd my prize go?" Kouga questioned. Zayane was standing outside of the hot spring already dressed. She was tapping her foot.

"I don't have all day, Kouga." Zayane narrowed her eyes. Kouga looked back and forth at where she was and where she had gotten to.

"How they hell did she do that?" Kouga turned to Inuyasha.

"She's a Mistress of Time. She can manipulate time in her favor with her right eye." Inuyasha crossed his arms, pissed. "Who going to do my hair now, Zay-Ane?"

"Sorry, Inuyasha. Tell Sesshoumaru not to worry about me." Zayane said waiting for Kouga to get out of the water.

BLUES

"You let her do what?" Sesshoumaru yelled at Inuyasha. Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"She has every right to go hang out with Kouga." Inuyasha said, going to leave. "I have nothing else to say to you other than the message Zayane told me to relay to you. Hope you die, bitch." Inuyasha said leaving the room. Kagome was passing him on the outside deck.

"Hey, Inuyasha…?" She spoke in the form of a question ready to talk to him about what he saw that morning.

"Fuck you." Inuyasha said. "But it looks like Sesshoumaru beat me to it." He kept walking by. Kagome was dead to Inuyasha. Everyone was ditching him for people he loathed. Zayane was forgivable because her lover trashed on her heart by sleeping with his girl. Kagome was not. When hearing those words, Kagome dropped to her knees. Kagome began crying; wishing that they had never drank last night.

Sesshoumaru was distressed. Zayane had run off with a wolf demon. But she would not avoid him so easily. Sesshoumaru step out side picking up on her scent. He would first pay a visit to Rin and Jaken and make sure that they were okay before chasing after his woman. And they were fine, Jaken taking good care of Rin.

Sesshoumaru headed west, her scent resonating from that direction. It was as if he could see a trail of it once his honed in on it.

Zayane sat next to Kouga in a cave looking at the other members of his tribe. Zayane kept a glare on her face. A few minions licked their lips.

"Is she for eating?"

"I've never had dark meat before." One said. Zayane turned blank faced.

"Iron Reaver…" Kouga caught her hand. He shook his head no.

"Be patient with them." Kouga said. Zayane put her hand back at her side. "Listen up, lazy bums!" Kouga shouted. It didn't take long to gather their attention. "This is your new queen!" Zayane nearly fainted. She choked on her own spit.

"Their WHAT? Say whaaaaaaaat! Say whaaaaat?" Zayane was confused.

"With your brute strength, we can steal the remaining jewel shards from Naraku." Kouga explained.

"I thought I was here to hang out! Not become your top lackey!" Zayane began walking away. Kouga snatched up her arm, throwing her into a wall. He smashed his hands against the wall, so Zayane would have no where to go. Zayane's face seemed to flatten out as her eyes narrowed. "I'm guess you want more than a lackey, huh?"

"A kiss before my tribe to show that you are now mine."

"No way, you per… Mmmmfttmfft." Kouga stole a kiss from Zayane, as the tribe howled. Kouga stuck his tongue in her mouth, tasting her. Zayane's eyes started to melt again. Kouga pulled away and Zayane started spitting and coughing.

"Oh, you know you liked it. How about another?" Kouga laughed. Zayane bit her lip as her good eye started twitching.

"You messed with the wrong human!" Zayane pulled her fist back and clocked Kouga in the stomach. Kouga's eyes went white as he cough up spit—first. Kouga backed away holding his stomach, coughing. Kouga vomited his lunch on the floor as the tribe quieted down.

"You—you…" Kouga couldn't form the words. All Zayane needed was an excuse to take out her pint up rage. Zayane had a demented look on her face.

"Soon you'll be begging for mercy!" Zayane grabbed Kouga by his whole face, pulling him up right. She gave another lethal punch to Kouga's stomach, sending him flying out of the cave, Zayane used the forehead of a wolf demon to propel herself out of the cave and teach Kouga a thing or two. "When a girl says she wants to hang out! She wants to hang out not make out!" She grabbed the airborne Kouga's leg.

"What… what the…" Kouga found himself being spin round and round. Zayane spun him over her head then threw him towards the ground. What a Good Samaritan Sesshoumaru was because he caught Kouga—with his face. Sesshoumaru took a tumble as Kouga bounced off his face, rolling to a stop.

"Goddamn it woman!" Sesshoumaru cursed, clutching his face. "Trying to ruin perfection!" Zayane paid Sesshoumaru no mind, falling to the ground. Zayane turned Kouga over on his back and began punching him in the face.

Soon, blood started to fly with every punch. Sesshoumaru grabbed Zayane, as she fought against Sesshoumaru to bash in Kouga's face. The clouds were slowly rolling in. Zayane wanted to kill Kouga, but she had forgotten her anger was at the person behind her holding her back from killing Kouga. Zayane stopped fighting back so hard, and Sesshoumaru slowly let her go. Zayane kneeled to Kouga, using his own blood to make a casting circle.

Zayane said a few words, and Kouga was healed but unconscious. "I shouldn't have done that." Zayane said, turning towards Sesshoumaru. Zayane took another stomach shot, but at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru didn't dodge out the way. Her fist hit his armor, her knuckles popping. It did no damage to Sesshoumaru or to his armor. The rain started to fall, first a droplet then three, then a massive down poor. The sky had shifted to pitch black.

The wolf tribe poured out to salvage Kouga. They dare not go after Zayane since she was occupied with Sesshoumaru. They picked up Kouga and carried him in, but once he was settled on the ground, the hung around to watch Zayane fight another opponent.

Zayane was soaked to the bone pounding away at Sesshoumaru's armor, trying to break it so she could get to his fleshy organs and do him harm. Her punches bounced off the armor as her knuckles began bleeding. It didn't stop her. Zayane ignored the sting. Sesshoumaru held his ground, sliding backwards a bit. Zayane was crying by now.

"Why do you do this to me!" Zayane cried out in her angst. Sesshoumaru grabbed one of her wrist. He pulled her close to try and sweet talk her. She slapped Sesshoumaru multiple times. Sesshoumaru just looked at her, the rain pouring down. He didn't want to admit that she looked good when she was angry and wet. Zayane didn't want to admit that Sesshoumaru also looked good when he was yearning and wet.

"We were drunk; I would have never done her if I was sober." Sesshoumaru said like it'd make the social blunder better. Zayane cried harder.

"We haven't slept together yet!"

"I'm sorry!" Sesshoumaru said tenderly. "What more do you want from me…?" Sesshoumaru said to her with gentle eyes. Zayane suddenly stopped crying…

BLUES xXSlightly mature contents people, shield yer virgin eyes!Xx

They were rushing into the forest to hide themselves. The rain didn't stop as they, crashed into trees kissing one another passionately. Sesshoumaru was working Zayane's kimono off the best he could with one arm. He got it to her shoulders, only exposing the top of her bosom. Her eye loomed towards him.

"Swear to me that it was an accident…!" Zayane said in between kisses, the rain rolling down her shoulders. Sesshoumaru pulled the bottom of her kimono open as Zayane's hands worked at untying Sesshoumaru's armor. The armor fell to the ground with a clank. They were both partially dress, but nothing being exposed to the world.

"I swear to you, Zayane." Sesshoumaru said, pushing her against a large oak, his arm wrapping around her and the tree to keep her pinned there.

"Tell me you'll never do it again!" Zayane curled her arms around him, folding around his back.

"I'll never." Sesshoumaru said kissing her neck gently. Zayane turned her head to allow him the right to. Sesshoumaru picked her up a little to ready her for him. Zayane moaned in the rain as Sesshoumaru grinded his lower body against hers. They couldn't believe what they were doing in the heat of the passion of hating one another. They couldn't remember if this was the same way it happened when they first got together as a couple. "Say it…" Sesshoumaru said in labored breaths.

"Make me." Zayane moaned. Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist, throwing her down to the grass. Sesshoumaru smashed Zayane between the Earth and himself, still grinding against her.

"Say it… Say my name." Sesshoumaru ordered. Zayane grabbed Sesshoumaru's shoulders because he was getting rough with her to make her say it.

"Sesshoumaru!" She cried. He was pleased because he had gotten her to say it. They melted away in a sea of passion that waves were the coos of Zayane screaming Sesshoumaru's name.

When it was over, the rain had stopped. The beautiful green grass bad been sullied by Sesshoumaru and Zayane ripping it to shreds with their love tango, turning it to mud. Zayane was sleeping on the ground, with mud in her hair, on her kimono, and all over her face. She had a content look on her face as if Sesshoumaru hadn't lost his touch. Sesshoumaru was resting his head on his hand, wishing he had his other arm to trace Zayane's face with his finger. It seemed like the world was speaking to him. There were smells around him that were always around but he had never noticed.

He felt something that he never felt with Kagome, or any other demon he slept with to try and fill the void of Zayane's death. Sesshoumaru felt completion. He felt alive.

(1)Zo-san is how children in Japan are taught about the male anatomy. Zo-san means, "Mister Elephant" It was made popular by some children's show, I forget. It is typical for a child to sometimes refer to their man-part as Zo-san. It's kind of cute, really.
