The Tears Of Past Hurt

By Inuyashas Youkai

Once returning towards the Western Territory , Sesshomeru carried the unconscious girl on Uh Un , next to Rin , and took both , settling them to sleep , before gazing upon the distraut expression playing upon the Miko's face .The dark undertones shown in the conour outlines of her face , plainly alerting to what only must be occuring within the girl's soul, as while observing must've been the plan from the begining , he mused. To taint the miko's soul.

Giving one last look as the two slept , noticing the restless of bodies movements, while obviously tormented by past words spoken, The Youkai knew something must be done , however what at the time didn't have a clue. That was only until , as he wasn't almost clear of the entryway of the room , a pained voice tore through the recesses of his mind that he was given a clue to what the problem was, then turning towards the miko's now blank crimson eyes, void of all emotion.

'Why does mate hate me so... Is it because now that he created me, doesn't like what he see's? What did mate do to warrant this type of rejection from her own?Maybe I should allow to be destroyed , then I wouldn't have so much darkness left over to feed .. Her soul is pulling from the Jyaki within me , letting go in defeat ..She needs mate before both are lost in a mindless rage '

' Who are you?'

' I am the demon residing within , in result of the mates now fragile bond..I search for the strongest youkai, that would be being will not be able to survive like she is for long ,as what once bond her as one is non nonexistant , and because of this a fissures been formed , soon both sides will war against the next until the one you now see is destroyed , and no longer existant, in any form. You need to locate her mate , before it' s toon late ..'

' That's next to impossible woman..'

' Then a new mate must be sired ..Perhaps you?'

' Preposturous ! I cannot!'

' Why Not? You have desires for her , I feel them ..'

' For one she's the mate of my brother making her my sibling , and that she carries the whelps of said mate !'

' Yes .. but her mate left her alone .. Making the bond , and the ties irrelovent , making for anyone to claim , even a sibling ..For it is the way of a Inu , we don't discriminate , we are of canine descent .. '

' Is this the only way? '

' Yes a mate of some nature must claim her lifeline , or it will descend itself into limbo until it is destroy by the war inside by her counterpart...'

" Inuyasha I will kill you ! Forcing the likes of me with your mate !"Sesshomeru gritted out between clenched teeth with the knowledge of what he must do.

~ A Visit Between Brothers~

Sesshomeru left thereafter gaining the knowledge , and then to seek out his brother to inform him of what he must do to save his hanyouess mate . Though when he had gotten their , a cold darkness reigned , as the elder youkai felt the transformation warring between that of his brother , and the demon within . Once arriving to the sight , crimson eyes menacingly glowed , and attempted to pin the elder in place , before the younger spoke...

" Where is mate ! ? I can't find her Sesshomeru ! I've looked everywhere , and still nothing ? I 'am scared for her , for I feel something's wrong , that she needs her mate , but I can't find her .."

" Inuyasha .. Yes there's something very wrong with your mate ... She 's not well .."

"Where is she ? What happened to mate ? I can't feel her anymore ! "

"Indeed ...The miko is safe , Inuyasha . I 've been caring for her since you left her .."

"What ! I didn't leave mate ? "

"I'am afriad you did, and now because she remains a unclaimed mated hanyouess, with growing pups within her womb , she faces condemnation , once her counterparts completes separating from itself then attacking each side until she is destroyed... Inuyasha , I 'am sorry .."

"No ! How did this happen ! I don't remember leaving mate.. ! I wouldn't !I loved mate !Please say it isn't so ? Let me go to her , I'll fix it ! I'll come back ! "

" Inuyasha , look , as much as I'd like to do so to get me out of what I must do .. I cannot , for it seems something is causing you to have the hatred you shown towards you mate , and until that issue is resolve .. I cannot risk any more harm to the miko"

" Wait! I don't hate her! I love my mate .. What was I made to do?"

" It matters not Inuyasha, not anymore ,as the damage has been done.. Kagome's life remains in limbo until she dies, or a suitable mate can be sired , until you find yourself again..."

" Fuck Sesshomeru ! Cut the crap, and tell me what the fuck did I do ?"

" Alright .. Inuyasha you abandoned you mate , left alone to die , and condemned her with the demonstrated hatred you've publically shown towards her , as she on the inside is splitting apart with the hatred rejection of herself , and all because she truely believes that her mate despises her , while he remains loving the dead wench"

"Sesshomeru ! I don't know what's happening ! ? Fuck why can't I remember dammit! Look you gotta take me to her I can't lose her Sesshomeru ..I .."

" Even if you had , Inuyasha .. What would happen if you'd revert back when you got there , as the person that hates her , possibly killing her.. What would that prove?"

"I don't know .. But I gotta do something Sesshomeru .. I can't just do nothing , and leave her to die?"

"I have a plan Otouto , that will hold things until you return , just find a way back to you mate .. That's all you have to do?

"What are you gonna do ?"

" I am gonna bind her Jyaki , and Ki to mine , to anchor her to her disolving lifeline .."

" You mean ... No! Hell no ! Am I going to allow her to be claimed , as her.. "

"Mate , Not that I gain much out of it either brother , but its the only way .. Unless you'd rather leave her to die.. "

"Wait how do you you know all of this ?"

' After we left earlier today , once confronted again with your foolishness .. I had a conversation with your mates Jyaki , as it claimed searching for a strong demonic aura to find that of her mate .. As I explained that bringing you back wasn't possible , smart , nor safe at the moment , it suggested the possibility of a new mate being sired . It was also then , finding what was happening to the the wench as we speak.. It said it would be only temporary ,or once , and if the original mate was able to retain acceptance as a chosen mate by the discarded.. Then and only then would the anchor be reverted to its natural place among things with its intended mate , once the strings tying them together could be reformed.."

" What the fuck is happening Sesshomeru ! I remember awhile ago when Kagome once thought that fathers sword was gifted to her , as a means of protecting her ... Do you believe it was for this ?"

" I don't know .. Yes .. Indeed , for father had been visiting her during sleep , or so I am told speaking of such ...Down to the last of days when you would leave her behind .."

"Wait , she told you? "

"No , not originally .. You see your mate while seeing father talks in her sleep , as was told to me by Rin .. If you spent more time at home with your mate , as of late you would know this , anyways .. Yes after seeing it for myself I had confronted the miko on it , and she told me what she knew , with the explicit instruction, not to alert you on them,because they were demanded by father, for her safety alone. "

"I can't believe this I don't remember leaving her .. All I ever remember is waking up one day , and she was nowhere to be found. "

" Tell me when was the last time you remember seeing the dead Kikyo , or that of your mate ?"

"I don't remember ..!"

" Figures as much , Inuyasha think about it ? The answer to how to fix things may be closer than you think .."

"Wait ! I remember seeing Kikyo but it was awhile ago now, maybe around the same time I last saw mate , but I don't know how I got to where I was but I .. was outside, just outside our bedroom window in fact , cause I remember seeing it as I was outside .. Kikyo went on about something about the well being closed , mate being stuck on the other side of it ,and that she'd be able to help me .. "

"Hn .. Sounds oddly familar Inuyasha .."

"What do you mean ?"

"It vaguely simular to the way on the night you left but not the way your explaining it, nor on the same night .. You had been leaving late at night for awhile now , and coming back fairly late before the night you left ..."

"Tell me what happened?"

" You need to concentrate on finding what went wrong , anything out of place, things seemingly strange to you in what you can remember.. But I will say that when you did return on the night you left , you were claiming Kikyo had a way for her return to her own time , wanting her to leave, and stating that you hated your mate ... On later accounts , the few time I would allow her to travel with me if the chance meeting you wasn't possible you said you hated her, and wished her gone .. Death or otherwise .. To you at the time didn't seem to matter.."

"Why would I say that , when I couldn't even think of such a thing , cause I don't think of any of that when I 'am with her !"

"I don't know it is difficult to harbour such hatred for those of our kind with our chosen, but I think if I am correct , It would seem Inuyasha that someone is making time repeating itself, but this time instead of Kikyo , its with that of your mate ..I will hold off until either you return or the time comes where there's no other choice in saving the miko's life. Though now I must leave , I'am afriad I must leave for I have stayed longer than I should have with Kagome in her present state"

"You mean you left my mate alone !"

"No.. I am not that stupid , Inuyasha .. I left her with a friend that I can't mention in case this conversations being listened to, as they rest I am sure they know because that was there intent.. I feel this doesn't have to do really you for the most part except where Kikyo is concerned , but I think Naraku was out to taint the girls soul , making her powerless to purify the jewel"Sesshomeru said before leaving his brother to his thoughts

"Kagome..." Inuyasha spoke devastatly broken as his thoughts revolved that of his missing mate , and finished his sentence before leaving to find the one he last remembered seeing before he was separated from his mate ..

"I could never hate you... I would die without you by my side , for I love you that much .."
