Hello again, everyone! I'm back with the next chapter to SRE! A lot of people reviewed the last chapter, and I really appreciate it so much! This chapter is much longer, my guess would be about 3700 words. Yup, it's nice and long for all of you. Sorry if you think the battle scene in this chapter sucks, I tried my best though. Happy New Year to all of you! Hope you all like this chapter! Toodles!
Liebe,
Sesshomaru is Mine/Abbey
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Abbey: It's interview time again! This time it's Sesshomaru. Just warning you, this will end in my being strangled.
Sesshomaru: So it shall.
Abbey: There really is no point in even asking you a question, is there? You're just going to choke me no matter what?
Sesshomaru: Basically…yes.
Abbey: (unenthusiastically) How do you feel about Miroku coming back?
Sesshomaru: That is a pointless question. I should think it would be obvious.
Abbey: I would say that I'm not the one that comes up with the questions, I just ask them, but I do come up with the questions.
Sesshomaru: I tire of this. (grabs Abbey around the throat)
Abbey: And so, it happens…again.
Sesshomaru: Do you have anymore questions for me?
Abbey: I have one thing to say, I do not own InuYasha.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
It's time once again for me to thank all of you for all of your supportive reviews! I got a lot this time, so I have a lot of typing to do. So why the hell am I babbling on!
Okami no Hanyou: It's good to know that soon your computer will be fixed. I can't wait for your update! Haven't I said that like...50 times? Oh well, it's just b/c your story is so good. Well, I guess I'll just ttyl, Beppi, toodles!
Nightfall2525: I'm not really sure where I'm going with this yet. But remember, I'll have alternate endings for each pairing, so it will end up being Ses/San in the end. And the spinoff will definitely end up being Ses/San, so don't worry be happy! Okay, that was stupid...Yeah...
Katty-kat: I will get hit many times for this chapter, I just know it. I've got my helmet ready. God, they'll be nothing left of me by the time you're done. Don't worry, it's not like she...eww...with him, you'll...just be mad. Anyways, hope you like it anyways.
SPaZin-Person: I'm so glad you like my story! Whee! Anyways, yours is cool too, I have to get on reading the second chapter soon. It was nice talking to you the other day. Hope you like this chapter!
Inugirl7: It's going to be very hard for her to choose between them. But in the end, there will be alternate endings for all the pairings, you know, just so that I can make everone happy :) I always like when I get a new reviewer. I hope you continue to like this.
4Kagome: Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you like it! I hope you like this chapter too!
Inuyasha'smistress: Uh...sorry? I love to write biggggg cliff hangers! They are so fun! Anyways, Sesshy didn't really know that Miroku was alive. That was Battousi that knew. Sesshomaru is just as surprised that he came back as Sango is. And...I'd be willing to bet that he's thinking he's pretty much up shit creek without a paddle. Oh well, she'll still be with him anyways...I'm just not sure what I'll make happen next.
SilverJade: Sorry, but it's nowhere near done yet. I have a whole lot more to write. I'm guessing that it'll be around 50 chapters, but I'm not sure yet. Hope you like this chapter!
Jysbena: I updated as fast as I could. I hope this chapter is up to your, and everyone else's standards. I worked really hard on it. Thanks a lot for your comment on the last review, I've never had anyone say that before, I like it.
Hamona/Boutique Display: Oh yeah, writing with a lot of discription is hard! But I find that the more practice I get, the better it is. Hope it gets better for you too! Hehehe, yeah, that would be pretty funny, the whole Naraku with rainbows thing. What a hillarious picture was running through my head when I read that review! Hope you like the chapter.
SangoRox: Okay, here's the update! Sorry it took me so long to update, but I hope that this chapter is good enough to make up for it.
Morelen: I know, cliff hangers are really my thing. How I love to write them! Anyways, hope you like this chapter!
Sesshie-Inuyasha-luver: Oh, thanks so much! Your review made me really happy! You can't have read many stories then, if mine is one of your favs. LOL. For some reason, I think my storie isn't really that good, but oh well. As long as everyone is happy, that's all I ask for...
Brianna: I HAVE A FAN OF THE KAG/BAT PAIRING! Yay! I know what you mean, it's hard to choose what kind of parts you want next. I'll just let you in on a little secret: there will be parts with Inu/Kag and there will also be more parts with Bat/Kag. Kagome is going to be a bad girl! But come on, who the hell can resist Battousi! It's impossible! About the Shippou thing...the girl he dreams about...hmmm...should I give anymore away to you? Welllll...Okay! She'll come in really soon! Oh and Battousi...he's always cruel...well, most of the time. But from the next chapter on, he'll be a lot nicer. And there's lots of parts w/ him in it this chapter. A whole lotta eye candy for you ;) Anyways, I'll just let you read, shall I?
LadyRedEyes/Kagome-chan/Marisa: HELL YES, STRONG ARMS, WOMAN! HE IS SO GOREGEOUS! I know you love this chapter a lot. You're lucky it's late and I'm tired and don't feel like writing a little torture for you...BAKA NINGEN! LOL. anyways, I'll just let you read about "your" (cough) man. (mumblesyeahrighticameupwithhimhe'smine) (innocent look) what! I didn't say anything!
Thank you all again for your awesome reviews! Thanks to all who read, even if you didn't review! I'll let you read now...

Sesshomaru's Red Eyes
Chapter 27:
The Love a Heart Holds
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"You heard what I said!" InuYasha yelled, "Let Kagome go!"
"There is no need, Brother, to react so crossly."
"I'm not your brother, not even close!"
"What a pity that you think that."
Kagome's voice was caught up somewhere in her throat. Finally, she said quietly, "Inu…Yasha? You're really alive?"
"Yeah, Kagome, what else does it look like? I'm not a ghost."
"Thank Kami," she whispered. Then she realized something, "YOU KNEW?" she shouted at the man-slayer, "YOU KNEW ALL ALONG AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!"
"That I did."
"YOU LET ME BELIEVE THAT MY MATE WAS DEAD!" It was here that she harshly pulled out of his arms and slapped him in the face as hard as she could. Battousi nodded gently, a half smile on his face, "Now everything is as it should be. I bid the both of you farewell." With that, he faded away…
Kagome felt a little guilty after Battousi's last remark, but why should she? He could've told her. Hell, he'd probably been behind it all. But none of that mattered right now. InuYasha was back, as if from the dead. "I'm so glad you're back!" Kagome thrust her arms around the hanyou, "I missed you so much!" Tears of joy ran down her smiling face.
"Yeah," InuYasha said, a bit sadly, "I missed you too, Kagome." His arms enfolded her, and he gave her a deep kiss, taking in everything about her that he missed the most, her scent, her touch, her taste. He finally pulled away, "I'm sorry that I couldn't get out sooner."
"I know that it's been hard with you gone for so long, but none of that matters to me now; the only thing that does is that you're back."
"Kagome," he uttered, his voice cracking slightly. He held onto her, and she him. They could've been like that forever…
(Grrrrrrrr)
Kagome sweat dropped.
InuYasha put a hand behind his head and smiled, "Well, I guess Iain 'm a little hungry."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Miroku's head was down, his eyes covered by his bangs. Sango got up slowly, "Let me see your face, please." Miroku rose his head. He had a truly pitiful look on his face.
Sango's lip trembled a bit, "Oh, Miroku, it is you!" She started tearing up again; a single tear ran down her cheek silently. All she wanted to do was hug him and kiss him, but she couldn't. Her husband had returned, and she, quite literally, couldn't do a thing about it.
"I'm so happy that you're alive," she whispered.
Miroku nodded once, "I thought that I would just let you know that I'm not dead, Sango," he stopped, loving the sound of her name, and what that name meant to him. It could no longer be the same, "but alive and well."
There was an awkward silence, and then, "Well, I just suppose I'll be going inside now," he said, flashing a fake smile.
"No," Sango said, not thinking, "Don't go. Don't go ever again." She went up to him slowly, cautiously, and threw her arms around his waist, sobbing into his chest, "You're alive," she kept repeating, "You're alive."
Miroku nodded, "That I am, dear Sango." He wrapped his arms gently around her shoulders, one hand resting on the back of her head.
Sesshomaru's heart burned with jealousy. His eyes narrowed as he watched the scene. He would not be ignored, Sango was still his. This monk's unexpected appearance, though it surprised him greatly, did not change a thing. "Sango," he said with raised brows.
Sango gasped. What could she possibly do now? Her husband or her mate? She'd heard that demons considered the breaking of the promise of mates a blasphemous crime indeed. Not only that, Sesshomaru would surely go after Miroku. She still didn't know; which one did she love more? That was an impossible question to answer. She dreaded hurting either of them; she'd rather die. This whole situation made her want to die. She pulled away from Miroku slowly, and opened her mouth to tell him about what had occurred in his absence.
The monk silenced her by putting a hand to her cheek, "I already know everything. Naraku, he…had mirrors…we saw it all. Please do not feel badly about it." With that, Miroku began to walk to the castle.
"Did you know, Sesshomaru?" Sango asked, her back to him, watching Miroku leave.
"I swear to you on the life of our son, that I did not. But Battousi surly must have." (A/N: He actually is telling the truth, Battousi knew about it, but he didn't. Just thought I'd clear that up;)
Sango merely nodded. What a wonderful and horrible day at the same time.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
InuYasha and Miroku were exhausted from lack of food and sleep. InuYasha had shoveled down a large amount of ramen. He was now asleep. Kagome was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching him. "I can't believe he's back. It's like a miracle," she whispered, brushing his hair with her fingers gently. A small smile played across Kagome's lips, "A miracle," she repeated.
'Forgive me for interrupting.'
Kagome gasped, " Battousi, please go back."
'I am not even there, I am speaking in your mind.'
Kagome realized that talking was not needed, 'But still, don't you think there's been enough trouble for one day?'
'There has been, but I only ask for a moment. I would like to…give something to you.'
'I don't know, Battousi. InuYasha-'
'-Shall be protected. I shall see to it.'
'How long is a moment?'
'Fifteen minutes.'
Kagome looked down at InuYasha. She gave him a peck on the cheek, 'Okay, but you'd better protect him like you said you would.'
'I shall.' Then, Kagome was teleported to the northern castle. She gulped, realizing she was in Battousi's bedroom. He was sitting on the bed, one knee bent up, an arm resting against that knee. "Welcome, Kagome, to the northern lands." He got up gracefully, and walked in front of her. "You are well?"
"Yes," she said, a bit shakily.
"Good." He paused for a moment, and then, "You do realize something, do you not, Kagome?"
"What's that?"
"You and I…we are past the point of no return."
Kagome took several steps back; she knew this was a bad idea.
"Be calm, Kagome. I plan to do nothing."
The miko was skeptical, so she stayed in one place.
"Your…gift…and you should know it is a farewell gift, is in the other room." He pointed to a door.
"A goodbye present?" she said slowly.
"Yes. Please do not be alarmed when you see it. I only wish to see you in it…once, before we must part."
"O…kay," she said, a little bit frightened. She went through the door cautiously. As soon as she entered the room, she saw what Battousi had left for her. "Kami-sama, it's a dress," she whispered. But not just any kind of dress, it was like a ball dress. She touched the soft, red fabric and ran her fingers across its surface. Tiny, black jewels were sewn into it, and it had a black jeweled broach as well. She put it on, unable to hold back her curiosity. It fit like a glove. The off-the-shoulder straps were made of a sheer, red material. The same material trailed behind her, like a kind of cape. The dress trailed behind her elegantly, for about a foot. She went to look at herself in a mirror, and realized that it would look even better with her hair up. She took a hair tie from her wrist, and put her hair up in a high bun, smiling slightly as she did so. Then Kagome went into the next room where Battousi was.
"Oh thank you so much, Battousi! It's beautiful!"
"You are pleased I assume."
"Of course I'm pleased! I can't believe you did something like this! It's so thoughtful!"
"Do not dwell on it."
"Hm, I'll take that as a 'you're welcome.' But…um…why did you do this for me?"
"It is not obvious? Why do what I do when it comes to you?"
Kagome gasped slightly, "You…you love me?" She went to him and gave him a hug, "But you shouldn't!"
He returned by wrapping his arms around her gently, "But I do however."
Kagome's eyes went wide and she looked up at him, "Really?" she said quietly.
There was a small moment of silence, and then, "Yes."
Another gasp and after that, "I…I…" Kagome stumbled, "I love you too." She sounded surprised as she said it.
"Ah," the man-slayer said. He was in pain and started to crumple, slowly to the floor.
"BATTOUSI! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU?"
Battousi was trembling slightly, "I know not what is wrong," he said in a pained voice. His hand clutched his chest, and his eyes were clamped shut. He growled furiously, causing Kagome to shake.
"We have to find out what's wrong with you! It can't be a heart attack!…You have no heart," she ended quietly. She held his head to her chest comfortingly.As suddenly as Battousi's spasm started, it stopped. He lowered his head and got up.
"Battousi, are you better now?" she asked cautiously.
"Something…is…different."
"Wha-what do you mean?" She got up as well, and rose a hand to touch his face, but quickly withdrew it. Battousi rose his head slowly and looked at her.
Kagome let out a sharp gasp…
…Battousi's eyes were not red anymore…
"Your eyes…" Kagome said, awe-stricken.
"What of them, Kagome? Do you mean to tell me that they too have changed?"
"Yes, Battousi, look at yourself!" she stated, leading him over to the mirror. Battousi's eyes changed from blood red to golden, with tiny specks of red in them. Kagome smiled at him. "What does this mean?"
"I believe that if may mean that…I am free of my curse, the curse of the red eyes." He turned to face her, "However, that is not the only thing that has changed." He pulled Kagome to his chest. Her ear rested lightly against it.
Kagome relaxed in his arms, "What else has changed then, Battousi?"
"Often the answers to questions can be found in silence."
The miko was slightly confused, but remained silent as he told her to do.
"Close your eyes and rely on your other senses."
'Okay,' she thought, 'What do I hear and feel?' "Kami-sama," she said softly. Kagome looked up into Battousi's face, and he nodded. "Really?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Oh!" Kagome put one hand on Battousi's chest, feeling the beating of his new heart. The heart that she, Kagome, had helped him gain. She let out a small laugh, tearing up a bit, "I'm so happy that you have your heart now, Battousi."
He nodded once, "I now know what I must do." He lifted up Kagome's chin, and lightly pressed his lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around the man-slayer's neck, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. The kiss gradually became deeper, and Kagome felt as if she were consumed by it. It was so hard to think, to keep a straight mind. Battousi was an excellent kisser. He ran his fingers through her dark hair, drinking in her scent…
…for it would be the last time that he could…
Kagome was barely aware that Battousi was teleporting. She felt a light, cool wind touch her bare skin and she shivered slightly. Battousi simply wrapped his arms around her more tightly, shielding her from the cold.
"Kagome, always remember, you gave me my heart. You are my heart," he whispered, "I love you above all things." And then, he slowly let go of her, and took off the outer layer of his kimono shirt, leaving the red under shirt on. He placed the black over shirt on Kagome's shoulders. Kagome turned her head to the side in confusion.
"You bastard," InuYasha whispered dangerously, "NOW YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!" He lunged at Battousi with his sword, and Battousi scooped up Kagome, getting her out of the line of fire.
"We have come for your head, Battousi," Sesshomaru said darkly. Sango rose her boomerang slightly, and Miroku grabbed a hold of the rosary beads over his wind tunnel.
"What? You're all here!" Kagome uttered, obviously shocked.
"The fool saw fit to rush to his death, so he called us all here, using his mind powers," Sesshomaru explained, a smirk in place.
Kagome ran to her mate, "InuYasha, you really aren't going to try to kill him are you! You can't!"
"I only want what's best for you, Kagome! This bastard can never care for anyone!"
"You're wrong!" Kagome retorted, "Just ask him! Look at his eyes, InuYasha! He's changed; he has a heart now!"
"You think I give a damn what form he takes! He's done too much!"
"InuYasha!"
"Kagome, stop. Seeing you with him, and the love you have for him makes me think: Where do I belong in this world? I am of no use to anyone. I was never meant to exist. My crimes have not yet punished me. I will allow you to now, Kagome. Punish me, the only way I can be punished. Death is nothing to me. Deny my new heart and go with InuYasha." he looked through the group before saying, "And so I tell you now, come at me my brothers, I will not fight you this time."
"As you wish, so it shall be," Sesshomaru said. The sounds of swords being released from their sheaths could be heard as InuYasha and Sesshomaru advanced towards the third brother. Sango and Miroku also sprang forth, ready for battle.
"You asked for it!" InuYasha shouted.
Battousi stood there unflinchingly, holding his ground. He put up neither a offensive, nor defensive front. He had a very calm look on his face. Kagome realized that Battousi was facing his death with honor. He really wasn't going to fight back.
"Battousi, you can't just stand there! Protect yourself!"
The man-slayer glanced over at her, and shook his head 'no' very slowly. "I am sorry."
Sesshomaru, with his demon speed, was the first to reach him. He ran Tokijin through his gut. It went clear through him; you could see the tip of the sword sticking out of Battousi's back.
InuYasha was next. He used his sword to slash Battousi's cheek. Evidently, Battousi's attackers wanted him to suffer immensely, because it seemed like they were giving him small blows, wearing him down. InuYasha then used Iron Reaver Soul Stealer to cut Battousi further, this time, across the chest.
Sango's turn. The hate that burned in her from when Battousi had raped her in Sesshomaru's body rushed through her vains like fresh, warm blood. She let her boomerang fly, sending Battousi hurling into a tree, nearly splitting it in half.
Battousi stood up slowly; his left eye was black, and blood stained his hair and clothes, and was running steadily from his mouth. His eyes were sad, but he held his composure well. He still stood tall and proud, despite his many injuries.
Now, Miroku. He threw exorcism sutras at him. They landed on Battousi's bare skin, and shocked him with spiritual power. What little that was left to Battousi's kimono shirt was covered in blood, and some of it was even on fire from Miroku's sutras.
"STOP!" Kagome screamed, "STOP, PLEASE!" She ran over to Battousi, hugging him, staining her new dress with blood. It was then that Battousi finally fell to his knees. "No, Battousi!" Kagome knelt down to him; she could tell he was having trouble keeping his eyes open. "Please don't die. I know that InuYasha is my mate, and I love him more than anything, but still... I love you too, Battousi."
The man-slayer's eyes closed. Kagome shook her head in sadness. No one deserves to die in such a way. Not him, not anyone. Tears streamed down her face as the others looked on. InuYasha's, Sango's, and Miroku's faces softened. Sesshomaru had an emotionless look in place. Then, Battousi's eyes shot open…
…They were red again.
Kagome let out a short squeak of a scream and drew back from him. Battousi stood up, slowly and dangerously. He half smiled at all of them, and went strait at Sesshomaru. The taiyoukai was, to say the least, unprepared for the attack, but his energy whip met with Battousi's and they coiled around each other like snakes. Sesshomaru failed to hold back the surprised look on his face.
"Why so speechless, Sesshomaru? I cannot stay that weak, pathetic being forever. Try as you might, this Battousi shall not be defeated. The man-slayer has returned. So silence, I command you, as my inferior."
"I am not your inferior," Sesshomaru said, in a dangerously soft voice.
Battousi smiled evilly, and with amazing speed, thrust his energy whip outward, untangling it with Sesshomaru's. He then cracked the whip right in Sesshomaru's face, making a cut from just below his eye, down his mouth, to his chin. It wasn't that deep, it was meant as a warning blow, "I only have to say seven words in order to tear your life to shreds, Brother." And then Battousi said those words to Sesshomaru, in his mind, 'Sango, that is not a real mark.'
"You will never get the chance," Sesshomaru returned angrily. A low growl escaped him. He turned to face Battousi, but he wasn't there. "Teleportation," he said softly. And then, Battousi brought his entire arm through his stomach from behind, his poison claws digging through Sesshomaru's flesh.
"And now, for my other dear brother…"
InuYasha held tetsusaiga in front of him defensively, but once again, Battousi had teleported. "Coward!"
"I am a what?" Battousi said dangerously before he released his whip again. The whip threw InuYasha into the castle wall, knocking him out. Blood flowed from the hanyou's mouth, and the back of his head.
"It's your turn, Huntress." Battousi disappeared again. "I'm right here," he said in Sango's ear. She turned around, but missed him. "Over here." Sango turned again, no dice. "You're not doing a very good job, Huntress." Once more, Sango turned, but when she did, claws dug into her neck. Battousi was standing behind her. "You like sakura trees, do you not?" He asked mockingly. Sango moaned in pain. "Well then, have fun." He then threw her into the branches of the nearest sakura tree. Her ribs hit a particularly thick branch, knocking the wind out of her. Battousi laughed mercilessly. Miroku immediately went to help Sango. The poison of Battousi's claws was bringing Sesshomaru to his knees.
"BATTOUSI, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Kagome yelled, "THIS ISN'T YOU, NOT ANYMORE!"
He looked at her with his wild, red eyes that burned with a passion for bloodlust. "Enough you say? I am simply showing them the same courtesy they bestowed upon me," he growled out.
Kagome had never heard his voice sound so harsh, so heartless, "Please, Battousi, leave to your lands to heal your wounds. Get better, and let's just call this whole thing a truce. LET'S NEVER FIGHT AGAIN!" Why had Battousi's eyes even changed to red in the first place? Are they able to go back and forth? Would his eyes ever go back to being they way they were just precious moments before?
Battousi walked towards her slowly, his blood stained hair swaying as he went. He stopped in front of her, "I spoke before of a curse. This curse is the curse of the red eyes. When I am in this form, I have no heart. I barely feel anything besides hate. I was wrong, I am not free of the curse. But Kagome, you telling me that you loved me triggered my own will to live. My eyes changed so I could keep myself alive."
"I do want you to live, but I don't want you to beat up everyone else either!"
"That is why I shall depart, as you suggested, for my lands to heal." He rose his head upward, inspecting the night sky. "Kagome, something was brought to my attention as soon as my eyes changed from red to gold, you are the pure dawn, and I am the dark night. Night meets dawn at only one part of the day, for night can never include light. So too do you and I, Kagome, meet at only one time. That time was tonight. We can never meet again. InuYasha is of the same time as you, though it may not seem that way. Go tend to his wounds, and leave me be."
"What! But you're hurt as well!"
"I shall heal fast. My presumption would be only three days. InuYasha will take longer. Go, Kagome," here, his eyes changed back to gold again, "Although I hurt them so, I never wish for…my family to die."
Kagome smiled, "I'm coming to check to see how you're doing in two days. Are you going to be able to bandage yourself?"
"You shall not see me."
Kagome had a very determined look, "Just looking out for the family."
"Stubborn woman, you have no way of going there."
"Oh, I'll find a way, don't you worry about that."
Battousi shook his head in an annoyed fashion, "Go help your mate now, he is in need of you."
Kagome nodded, and went to InuYasha's aid.
'And I am in need of a new reason to live,' Battousi thought, as he teleported away.

That's chapter 27! I hope you all liked it! I like it a lot, I think. I usually suck at writing battle scenes, but I think this one was okay. I will get better! I would love your feedback and questions, so please review if you want, thanks!

Preview of the next chapter…
"I told you I was coming," Kagome returned.
"I came with for Kagome's own protection," Sango said, her boomerang on her shoulder.
"I blame you not, Huntress. Our last meeting was…traumatic."
"Yes, it was, and I am here to make sure there isn't a repeat."
"I told her that I only needed Kirara, but she insisted on coming."
"Without telling InuYasha as well," Sango said in an undertone.
"He shall worry for you, you should have told him."
"Yeah right, he'd never let me come if I would have asked him."
"There is a difference between asking…and telling."
"That's right, Kagome, you could've used 'sit.'"
"He would have followed."
"I must warn you now, Kagome, still other things have changed."
"I see that your guests have arrived, just as you predicted, Sensei."
