Chapter 7: Sorrowful flute, magic necklace?
-----------------------------------
"Master, we have failed" a man said, bowing before his master. "Sesshomaru is in the human hospital at the moment."
"How did this happen?" the mysterious master said.
"Jaken attacked him, master" the man said. "Sesshomaru lost control and killed him afterwards. It was filed as self-defence, since he had been shot three times at the time of Jakens death"
"Keep an eye on HIM now, ok? Act on the slightest provocation."
"Yes master, Inutaisho-sama." the man said, bowing once more, before leaving the room.
---------------------------------------
"Naraku-sama, Jaken may have destroyed our chances by failing" a girl with emotionless voice said, kneeling in front of her master.
"That may be so, Kanna, but hopefully our chances are not completely lost."
"Then what do you sugest we do, Naraku-sama?"
"Send HER to supervise him" he said, with a smile.
"Yes, Naraku-sama" kanna said, as she rose and walked backwards out of the room.
-----------------------------------------
Sesshomaru felt so powerless, ont being able to leave his bed for more than a few short moments a few times a day. All he really could do, was lie in bed, reading. well, he had always had good scores in school, but now, he was one of the best in class, even though he he was stuck in the hospital.
Well, he did study a lot, doing all the assignments when he got them. All thanks to Kagome, who had made it a habit to visit him in the hospital every day, keeping him company. And then, there was Rin as well, his imouto. she had been visiting him almost every day, bringing her two friends alog.
He felt somewhat at ease, teaching Souta and Shippo some of the things he had learned in his life.
But this day, he recieved something he was never gonna see again. His flute. Kagome brought it with her, but he saw it was his old one at once.
"Here, Sesshomaru-kun, a gift that maybe can lighten your days here a little" she said, giving him the flute.
"Where did you find this?" sesshomaru asked, hearing his own voice tremble a little.
"At my familys shrine" she said, looking down on him, as he held the flute in his hand,
twisting it a little, watching the nice threadwork on it."We found it beside the bone-eaters
well, three years ago."
He lifted the flute to his lips, blowing a few tunes. first, he sounded a little unsure,
but as he found more and more of his old skills, kagome was really surprised. He was so
good!
-----------------------------------------------
She had come to visit her onii-chan, being followed by her two firends, who had come to think of her brother as a hero. everything went good, until they came to the door leading to his room. They heard a lonely flute, playing one of the most wonderful songs she had ever herad, even though it was so filled with sorrow it made her heart ache.
As the song died down, she opened the door, and was surprised to see that sesshomaru was the one holding the flute, while kagome stood beside him, tears in her eyes.
"Onii-chan!" rin said, running up to him and giving him a hug. "We heard you play from outside, you're so good!"
"I've never heard anything as good as that" kagome agreed.
"What kind of flute is that?" shippo asked, watching the strange flute closely. It was made by tying together a number of unevenly cut pipes.
"It's called a panpipe. I got this one when I were your age" Sesshomaru said, still watching the beautiful relief that was cut out in front of the wooden pipes. It was a large dog, hunting a dragon through a ricefield under a crescent moon.
'The same type of moon that is displayed on his forehead' rin thought.
"Can you play another song please?" Rin asked, crawling up into his bed, sitting beside him.
"Sure" was all Sesshomaru said, before starting to play. This time, the song was not filled with sorrow, but with joy and happiness.
------------------------------------------------
Time passed, and two weeks later, the doctors were amazed that sesshomaru was completely restored, capable of compeleting all their tests with ease.
they had no choice but to let this medical wonder go.
Many people missed the tunes of the panpipe, that always came from somewhere in the hospital.
------------------------------------------------
The next day, everyone was both glad and surprised to see Sesshomaru back in school again.
He kept to himself, much like he had earlier, only acting friendly towards Kagome. What stunned everyone a bit more was that he had a panpipe in a string around his neck. No one knew he had played it before, and thought that it was just for show. Until lunchbreak, that is.
When the bell rang, signalling lunch, he calmly walked outside. He sat down, with his back against a tree, and started playing. It was heard over most of school, leaving the people with a feeling of peace. The only people that seemed to be unaffected, was Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome had heard him play this song almost a dozen times, so she knew it pretty well, while inuaysha on the other hand, had the same amount of musical sense as a rock.
After playing a few songs, Sesshomaru ate his lunch, before rising. he walked back towards the school building, as he began to think. He needed to control his emotions, and the panpipe helped him with that. But, he wouldn't always be able to have the pipe with him, so he had to come up with another way.
Well, at least his loyal panpipe had helped him to get his cool back after his meeting with Yoko. That was at least something.
----------------------------------------------
Back in class, he noticed that Inuyasha had a larger smirk than usual, and now had a necklace, a black bead necklace with something that looked like white fangs, placed every fifth or sixth along the necklace. Inuyasha noticed him watching it, and started talking to him.
"You jealous?" he asked.
"No, just interested in how you got that, and how you could be so stupid as to put it on" sesshomaru answered, a small smirk on his face.
"Huh, why is it stupid to wear this necklace?" inuyasha aked.
"Well, aren't you a dull one. Studied for the test in a week?"
"Uuuh, no..." inuyasha said, "But what does that have to do with this?"
"Stupid, that's a restraint-necklace, oftenly used during the sengoku era to get control over difficult 'people'." Sesshomaru said, watching in joy, as inuyasha paled a little.
"But, this is probably a replica" Inuyasha said, more to himself than to sesshomaru.
"Maybe so. But if not, the bloodline of the creator will have a great amount of control
over you" sesshomaru said, just in time to see their english teacher, Sango Tayija-san,
walk into the classroom.
"Ok class, let's get started. open your textbooks, and read pages 95-98." sango said, sitting down by her desk.
---------------------------------------------
School was over, and everyone was heading home. Sesshomaru exited the school grounds, only to stop instantly.
In front of him, Inuyasha and Kagome was kissing!
He had warned her, but it was her decision. Though he had thought her smarter than this.
As sson as they parted, inuyasha looked at him. he smiled.
"Oh, too bad, eh seeshy?" inuyasha said "stole the first kiss from kagome, so you can't get it."
"Was that the only reason?" sesshomaru asked, noticing how kagomes face got a little red.
It was not from embarassment, but from anger.
"What do you think?" inuyasha cast back, not noticing how kagomes expression now was very serious.
"Inuyasha"came kagomes voice, full with anger,"SIT!"
suddenly, the necklace glinted, before pulling inuyasha, face first, into the ground.
"Oh, my. It worked" she said, a little surprised."Guess som of Jii-sans things do work."
"Jii-san? so,the head priest at higurashi shrine made that huh" sesshomaru said. "Well, good going, kagome."
with that, he walked towards the daycare, to pick Rin, laughing all the way, people looking at him like if he was a madman.
--------------------------------------------------------------
'Why is he laughing? has he finally lost it? gotta report to the boss.'
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Soil: OOh, who can that be, eh?
well, Sango appeared in this chapter, as a teacher! was thinking about making her a
student, but since I want to make a sanxmir pair-up, I discarded that thought. A student
and a teacher is just strange in my eyes. Oh, i might as well deliver a heavy blow to you
that think this is going to be a sess x kag fic. not gonna happen, though i'm still
thinking about if ther is going to be any citrus with them in the future. please tell me
your thoughts on this.
Well, see ya.
