Disclaimer: I don't even know the name of the person who created Inuyasha, so there is absolutely no way that I own Inuyasha. Go to hell and greet your long lost uncle Hitler.
Sesshomaru sits his bad ass in the bird's nest for a good long while, but gets no sleep, because he doesn't require it at all, you pathetic humans.
Seriously.
Finally, he replenishes his "Daddy, I'm Flying!" meter and heads back out. He flies just about everywhere, yet he can't find any people, or Naraku. He lands at a cliff, because that's where all the dramatic shit happens, and begins thinking. What will he do now? No people, no animals, no insects. If he were a foolish mortal, he would starve to death. But he isn't a stupid, ugly, worthless, foolish, insignificant, dick head, damn mortal, so he doesn't need food. He just sucks the nourishment out of the ground. With his feet. However, the real question is, what will he do to keep himself from losing his mind?
He gets an idea after a bit of waiting around for a cloud to cover the sun. He goes over to a tree and implants his palm into it. Then, he scratches a frowny face into the hand print.
"His name is Teddy Treebark..." explained Sesshomaru. "Stop laughing at me."
Sesshomaru sits next to Teddy for a long time. I mean a VERY long time. We're talking about two days here. That's way too fucking long for someone to just sit next to a tree with a smiley face on it, and I should know, I was that weird kid in elementary school. Occasionally, Sesshomaru says something to his friend and carries on a conversation, because he no longer cares about embarrassing himself. Besides, we all know that, if you start talking to inanimate objects, you grow a scraggly beard overnight.
"Oh, I hope my scraggly beard doesn't come in down to my dick, I really don't want to accidentally pee on it." Sesshomaru says to Teddy, who just nods along... WAIT NO HE DOESN'T! But, anyway, Sesshomaru continues talking to his tree friend now.
"It's embarrassing to even admit, but I've never had a girlfriend before." Sesshomaru admits to his new comrade in arms... or twigs, whatever.
"..." Teddy responds warmly.
"Seriously, I'm not lying. It's pathetic, I know, but I think it's because I keep them at an emotional distance of some sort. I have no idea, after all, I am the perfect husband."
"..."
"I think the problem isn't that females don't like me, it's that I'm just not all that interested in them. Nor am I interested in men. Or, come to think of it, anything at all these days."
"..."
"You know, before the catastrophe happened a few days ago, I was having the strangest feelings. There were times when I wondered if I really had a purpose. I mean, we, that is Jaken, Rin and myself, would spend weeks on end chasing a goal that I'm no longer certain we actually had. That's one positive thing I could actually have said about Inuyasha; at least he had a distinct purpose."
"..."
"There's something else I feel I should tell you." Sesshomaru turns to look at the tree. "Teddy, what I'm about to tell you is going to be absurd, and will make me seem as if I am turning into a lunatic. This is something I would never have thought of discussing with Rin or with Jaken. Sometimes... sometimes I feel as if I'm being watched by something. Not just in Japan, though... something so distant and far away I would have no hope of knowing who they were and what lives they lead. More than just one something... but, indeed, millions and millions of them..."
A leaf falls off of Teddy and drifts into Sesshomaru's hair.
"Here's your leaf, Ted."
Sesshomaru puts it into the handprint over Teddy's mouth.
"Maybe that will shut you up for a second or two, you chatterbox."
As Sesshomaru sits there, he realizes what he is doing and he buries his face into his hands.
"Oh, God, what am I doing?"
He finally gets too bored to even talk, so he abandons his friend and decides he'll just walk.
Nowhere.
Forever.
Sesshomaru walks for hours, wondering what could've happened to all the damn people. He really doesn't care too badly whether they return or not, but the sheer overwhelming curiosity is getting the best of him. The thing that puzzled him most about the whole thing though, is why hadn't HE disappeared?
How come it was every other lifeform except him?
Maybe Sesshomaru's theory that he was the single strongest being alive was true. Perhaps something happened to the air that caused everyone else except him to disentigrate. It would definitely explain the bird in the nest.
But what in the air would just cause everyone else to disappear? And how long would it be before Sesshomaru was weakened to the point where he would be next?
As Sesshomaru layed down that night to just rest, he contemplated his fate. Should he just walk apathetically through life with no direction or purpose? Or should he search for clues that might point to the answer he is looking for? That would certainly give him some purpose in this blank land devoid of anything. But, if he did find the answer, would he just walk in peace for the rest of his long days, or eventually lose his mind from perpetual silence and loneliness?
"And what the hell am I doing laying in rabbit shit?"
