Chapter 3
After several hours of explaining, Sesshomaru finally stopped to let everything he had said sink in. InuYasha shook as he was furious with what has happened but he sighed and raised a hand to touch the newly made mating mark on his shoulder.
"Earlier you said that you never hated me. Was it true?" InuYasha asked.
"Yes it was. I did hate you for awhile after you were born because father left and then he died to protect you and your mother. Our father had asked me to watch over you and I did though I did not like it. But after a time I realized that I was no longer angry at you for father's death but I continued to act like it just to help you become stronger. I'd attack every now and then to toughen you." Sesshomaru said and he stared at InuYasha and saw that he and the ningen were stunned into silence. InuYasha got up but was weak from the mild poison and he collapsed and Sesshomaru realized that he had pumped more poison in him that he had meant to and he rushed over and takes out a small bottle of a dark liquid. He removed the cork and brought the bottle to his own lips and the liquid poured into his mouth. Sesshomaru then leaned over InuYasha and he brought his mouth to the bite and forced the liquid into the wound.
Sesshomaru moved his head away and the wound closed and the skin turned back to normal. InuYasha was unconscious and he groaned as the antidote took effect. ""What did you just inject into him Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked and he turned to look at her. "I injected the antidote to my venom." He said and he got up and picked InuYasha up and started to walk towards the village.
The others got up to follow and when the got to the village Run saw Sesshomaru and smiled but when she saw him carrying InuYasha she became worried and she went to get Kaede. They both came out of the hut and ushered Sesshomaru into the hut and he laid InuYasha down and Kaede got a rag wet and placed it on InuYasha then she noticed the mark and knew what it meant.
"Ye have made InuYasha into your mate Lord Sesshomaru. I thought ye hated your half-brother?" She said and asked. "I do not hate him anymore. I had when he was a child but after a time I no longer hated him." He said to the old priestess. Then Rin came up and hugged Sesshomaru and he smiled and hugged her back. "I have missed you, my Lord." She said in her lilting high voice and he touched a finger to her lips to tell her to be a bit more quiet.
"I have missed you too, Rin. It is near time for you to choose where you want to be. With me or here in the village but you still have a year left to make the decision." He said and he hugged her then turned to InuYasha's friends. "I shall leave him in your care until he feels better then I shall return." He told them and then left.
