The Love of a Mother
Alright, I got quite a few reviews, that is why this chapter came out today. I am really glad people are liking this story and if you have any suggestions as to what you would like to see happen, just tell me either in a review or a private message. This chapter kind of explains what happened over time, I think it would be a waist of time to put what happened every day, the story would take for ever. I hope you like this chapter!
Disclaimer:I still don't own Inuyasha or the gang.
It has been a week since Sesshoumaru, Rin, Jaken, Ah-Un, and Baby Yue joined us, after the first morning in which Inuyasha got his behind handed back to him by Sesshoumaru he no longer try to take Yue away from me again. I half to say I was rather proud of him, he learned the first time and he is no longer fighting with his brother, this might be the beginning of a wonderful brotherly bond!...yea who am kidding they only tolerate each other for the time being but are dieing to kill each other.
Everyone else is now sort of comfortable with Sesshoumaru there, they still don't talk to him personally but well in time I hope they will. The only ones who is completely oblivious to what had been happening were Rin and Yue. Rin spent most of her time playing with Shippo, they love to torture Jaken making him "pretty," Shippo did noticed but did his best to distract Rin, they both deserved some time to just be children.
Just a few days ago they snuck up to Jaken while he was asleep, and put him in one of Rin's old kimonos, apparently Sesshoumaru bought her several and this one she had out grown recently, it was a pick kimono with sakura blossoms sewed into it. Then they proceed to put flowers all around his head and in his staff of two heads. He woke up and screamed bloody murder, it was hilarious! Even Yue sort of giggle, it was so adorable!
"Half-breed, we are stopping here" said Sesshoumaru, he then proceeded to sit next to a tree, it was becoming some what of a regular thing. Inuyasha got so frustrated when it first happen, but I think that along with the rest of us, he figured out that nothing was going to change the fact that his brother could defeat him with a mere brush of his poison whip.
Yea Inuyasha found that out the hard way. It was two days after Sesshoumaru found us when stopped so I could feed Yue, Inuyasha asked to hold Yue, then a soul collector came back, he dropped Yue and was running to follow the soul collector to Kikyo, when Sesshoumaru caught Yue just in time gave him to me and let his poison whip hit Inuyasha square on the back. Inuyasha instantly blacked out; he also missed his visit with Kikyo.
Now we were somewhere in the Western Lands, Sesshoumaru was leading us after that specific incident. Nobody questioned him, no no one here was suicidal, at least not to that degree. Hey to go in a search for Naraku, when he posses most of the jewel shards you are a tad bit suicidal. Anyways, Sesshoumaru told us that he had heard rumors of a jewel shard around here and Inuyasha instantly said we should go, of course the rest of us know that was a lie,what we did not know was why are we really here for. Rin said we were headed in the direction of his castle and the closer we got the more stops we made so I think she was right, and Sesshoumaru is not sure if he wants to go; he is stalling yet he is too proud to say why.
Oh speak of the devil and the devil shall appear, here he comes carrying a boar ready to be cooked,he even cleaned it, usually he leaves that job to Sango or Inuyasha.
"Sesshoumaru, may I speak to you in private" I asked and later added the "Please?" he does not like being bossed around and I am more likely to get answers if I say please. "Hn" he said and started to walk towards the forest, I took that a sign to follow.
"What would you like to know, miko?" asked Sesshoumaru, hu? strange he would normally just say 'speak' and thats it. Something really is wrong here.
"Sesshoumaru, where are we really going?" I asked, minutes passed and he did not answer, almost as if he just could not stand to talk about it.
"are we going to your palace?" I asked trying to gain more information, you never know maybe it could help him to talk about it as well.
"yes" he said in a very quiet voice, I almost thought I imagined it, he turned around and faced the other way to look at a tree with wild white flowers that fell with the wind, the image was mesmerizing , his hair flew around and his posture was relaxed and ... I don't know pained I suppose.
"why?" I asked in a soft voice, it seemed like a sensitive topic but I wanted to know, selfish I know but its human nature I suppose.
" Its her funeral," he said and then something happen. He fell to his knees almost as if all his strength left him in that moment. I went to his side hopping everything was alright but what I saw made my heart break.
Here on his knees was the cold tai-yokai with tears streaming down his pale and beautiful face showing more emotion that I have ever seen from him. He reminded me of a child who just had his security blanket taken away from him. His eyes were full of pain, I did the only thing I could think of which was to hold Yue from next to my neck supporting him with my right hand and hug Sesshoumaru with my left.
At first I thought he would push me away saying he did not need comfort from a ningen but he did not, instead he hugged me tight to his body making sure no harm came to Yue and cried, and cried. My hear broke for him, I could not hold back my tears at seeing him so broken like this. I suppose he really loved her, who ever she was.
" You must have loved her" I say quietly and comforting, "no, she was my first and only friend, she helped me and stayed by my side when everyone else did not. But it was not love it was a precious friendship" he said, in between tears, his suffering evident in his voice.
"Such friendship is very special indeed but she left you with something to remember her by, a son. You have to honor her with the respect she deserves and tell your and her son about how wonderful his mother was, that way your friendship will remain alive for many, many years to come" I said, he seemed to think over my words, we were like that for ten more minutes until he said "yes, your right."
He took pulled away from me, for some reason my arms felt empty, well except for Yue, that is his home most of the time. He took Yue, looked at him and said "You my son, named after your mothers most favorite object, the moon will be treasured like your mother would have wanted." the he kissed his child's cheeks, waking Yue, who stared curiously at Sesshoumaru. They seemed to be forming a bond.
Sesshoumaru's eyes started to seep with red, meaning his beast was coming out to play as Sango so kindly put it when explaining it to me.
"Mine" said the beast sniffing Yue's neck, then he walked over to me looked, handed me Yue, bending down he sniffed at my neck and said "MINE!" after a few moments I felt a pain in my neck. When I could see Sesshoumaru's face again his mouth had blood, he bit me! Before I could even asked he explained.
"You are taking care of this Sesshoumaru's son, that mark means you are under my protection miko, nothing more nothing less. He turned around like nothing had happen and said "follow."
So how was it? did you like it? no? Sesshoumaru is warming up to Kagome and he told her all of that because it was just to much, he had been bottling up his feeling and the dam broke loose. Please Review and remember if you want any specific even to happen just let me know and I will try and put in the story! Now REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!
