Chapter 22: Something's can't be Saved
The Next Night
"Sesshoumaru, are you alright?" Inuyasha asked as he came to sit next to his brother underneath a tree.
"No."
"Why do you care so much about her?"
"Rin."
"You care about her because she knew Rin?"
"No because she is Rin."
"Why do you even care if she's Rin? To you Rin died when you left her in that village."
"That is one thing I wish I had never done."
"Why did you do it?"
"Thought she would be save there."
"You thought she would be safe in a demon slayers village?"
"Nami said she would protect her."
"You thought a human could have protected her better than a full fledged demon?"
"No I thought she would be safer inside the walls of a village instead of out in the open with a full fledged demon." Sesshoumaru snarled at his younger brother.
Just then a noise was heard from behind them. Both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru came to their feet and turned around to see Kagome coming out of the hut.
"Inuyasha please leave," she said gently. Nodding at her he turned and left her alone with his brother. "Sesshoumaru I'm sorry I've done everything I can think of, but her fever's to high and it won't come down no matter what I do. I don't think Rin's going to make it. I'm sorry I know how much she means to you."
Sesshoumaru nodded his head and turned away from the hut. As he turned away Kagome would swear, in latter years, that she had seen a single tear fall down his cheek as he walked away from her.
A Month Latter
"Sesshoumaru," his mother said as she entered his study. "You must find yourself a mate or I will be forced to find one for you."
"You may choose who will be my mate mother I no longer care to discuss the subject with you or anyone."
"Very well. I have the perfect mate in mind for you. I think you will like her."
"I doubt that ," Sesshoumaru murmured as she left the room.
