Chapter 2: Touching Moments
Last Time
"Ah, I am guessing this wonderful little angel here belongs to you two." A soft voice reached his ear triggering long forgotten memories.
Turning Sesshoumaru turned to the voice and saw a woman with a happy Rin in her arms who had herself wrapped around the woman's soft tail that was hung over her shoulder.
"…" It seemed he and his brother had something in common as they stared at this woman from their past.
"Meinu," Was the only thing that escaped his lips.
Now
"Yes how nice to see you both." She bowed to them and then turned away to look at the females that were gathering behind them along with a monk dressed in a purple robe.
"You must be Kagome, Sango, and Miroku." She said looking them over and then she seemed to notice the little kitsune that was attached to Kagome's shoulder and was giving her a look that said he didn't like to not be noticed. She smiled.
"Aww and I can't forget little Shippou, now can I?" She walked to them and looked to Kagome who was staring at her strangely. The female youkai, with the long black hair that had tips of the purest silver, handed over the young girl to Kagome. Rin clung to her tail but after a little persuasion she let go and snuggled deeply into Kagome's arms.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked the female that was standing there looking as if this was the most boring thing in the world.
"Names Meinu. You can call me Mea if you want to." She then smiled at them, one long fang glinting in the soft moonlight. She then looked up and a full out grin appeared on her face, reminding them of a child who was about to receive candy.
She then turned back to look at them.
"Well, I will be on my way now. I need to visit my brother and try to find a way to…ummm…help him along to the afterlife. So I will see you guys later. Ja ne." She turned and walked away, the tip of her black tail swishing in the wind as her youkai cloud began to form underneath her feet.
"So, do you guys know who that is?" Miroku asked Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru as they all watched the mysterious demoness disappear from sight.
"Keh…" Inuyasha answered.
"…" Sesshoumaru said nothing at all but instead gathered his ward from the arms of the young miko and walked away from them, Jaken and Ah-Un following faithfully behind him as they headed into the depths of the forest.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, was that who I think it was?" Jaken asked from his lord who was sulking quietly in front of him in his cold Ice Prince manner.
"Yes…"
OOOOOOO
"Inuyasha who was that woman that saved Rin from Kagura?" Kagome asked the hanyou who was walking slightly in front of her. He wasn't in much of a good mood and he seemed to be withdrawn into the inner parts of his mind, thinking on something important. Well she guessed there always was a first for everything.
Inuyasha didn't answer her so she looked over at him again. He was still in the same mood, though now there was a slight smirk upon his lips, as if he had just thought something that was slightly funny.
"Inuyasha, who was that woman that saved Rin from Kagura?!" Kagome asked again only this time it was slightly louder than before. He turned to look at her out of the corner of his eye and then he sighed slightly.
"Her name as you can guess is Meinu. She is one of the last Black Inuyoukai left. Her brother is The Lord of the East, who if you also couldn't tell, she hates. Meinu is…well…like our cousin." He stopped and seemed to think over his next words carefully wondering what he should and shouldn't tell her.
"Meinu grew up with us in our palace, she didn't get along with her brother and they were constantly trying to kill each other so her parents decided that she should come and live with us since we were her family and we were also royalty. Well she and my brother were close, if you can believe it Sesshoumaru had a heart back then, and when I was growing up((A/N: This is my story and his child hood is going to be slightly different than in the series, just a little.)) I remember that my parents used to talk of connecting the two families and uniting the Eastern and the Western Kingdoms, of course I found this entire plan out by eavesdropping, so no one else knew.
"Well, then one day Meinu's mother sent for her to come home. So she did go home. That was when she found out that her father had died and that her brother's coronation for Lordship was coming up and that she had to attend. That was the funny thing, she did attend but she made sure that it was the worse coronation ever, her brother hated her so much that he tried everything in his power to have her banned the only thing was, was that she hadn't really done anything wrong so he couldn't. But that was the last time we had ever seen her. She disappeared for about two hundred years I believe, and during that time Sesshoumaru became the cold hearted bastard that you see today." He smirked and then he turned to look to his side, his amber eyes penetrating the thick cover of trees to find the shape of his brother traveling parallel to them. He looked pissed and Inuyasha knew that he had heard every word that he had spoken to Kagome. Sesshoumaru turned cold eyes to him and then glared causing Inuyasha to 'keh' and then turn away from the Ice Prince.
"Inuyasha, so…ummm…are you saying that…well this is awkward for me to ask but…was Meinu and Sesshoumaru lovers?" She asked on a giggle at the thought of Sesshoumaru doing those kinds of things.
"Keh. I don't know, they were close but I don't know what they did during their private time, and remember my father died when I was five so I only got to see them when my mother went to visit which was always on the night of the full moon." He looked at her then, just a small glance out of his honey gold eyes, but it was enough to let her know that she was the first person that he had ever spoken of his past too, and in that second she knew that she meant more to him than he let on.
"But why on the full moon, I mean why not on the New moon when you turned human?" She asked of him. He just kept on walking and she had begun to think that he wasn't going to answer her but then he spoke up.
"She made it on the full moon because she knew then that I would be safe on the journey and there was no chance that I would turn human outside of the village." He looked sad, the remembrance of his past times with his mother hurting him deeply.
"I understand. Thank you for telling me this, Inuyasha." She stopped and hugged him close, the quick hug catching Inuyasha of guard so that he stared down at her with wide eyes before he slowly wrapped his arms around her catching her before she could slip from his grasp. He hugged her close breathing in the jasmine and sakura blossom scent that clung to her skin. His ears twitch and Kagome giggled at the sight, causing Inuyasha to glare and release her. She smiled at him before turning and running to catch up with Miroku, the perverted monk, and Sango, the taijya.
"Hey Sango, Miroku." She said as she reached them. She happened to look over at the smiling monk and notice that the side of his face was bright red in the shape of a handprint and had to laugh.
"At it again huh Miroku?" Kagome asked him knowing that he had been groping Sango's butt.
"Ah yes Lady Kagome, I couldn't help myself." He then laughed while rubbing the side of his face and glancing slyly at Sango. Her eyebrow began to twitch and she raised her fist threateningly at him and Miroku raised both hands as if to show her that he meant no harm.
They were laughing together, the four of them, along with a moody hanyou who trailed behind, when suddenly their path was blocked by someone they didn't expect.
