Chaos Corner: Posting two chapters to make up for the two Thursday's I missed (stupid school)

Reviewers Response:

I just realized I haven't been answering everyone's reviews. I've been slacking. For that I deeply am sorry.

15. Only a Dream

Inuyasha wasn't sure what to say to the crowed, many of them crying even the men. The half-demon couldn't believe it Sesshomaru was dead. Tears burned at his eyes, he held no restriction and allowed them to fall. It amazed Inuyasha that he was still be able to cry. He had sat dutifully at Sesshomaru sides for two entire moon cycles wishing, praying and crying for his mate to return to his waiting arms. Miroku and Sango were a blessing and a curse. Even Inuyasha would admit having someone there when you're going through a painful time is comforting. The couple constant need to comfort him was slowly suffocating the half-demon. He didn't mind though, it was actually the best way to die, Inuyasha decided. Inuyasha couldn't lie to himself seeing Miroku and Sango together leaning on each other made him envious. Those two had spent years fighting their feeling for each other's. With threat of death by Naraku hands hung heavily over them, they by some twisted faith, survived the test of time. While two demons—creatures that prided themselves to outlive humans and possess superior strength—crumpled to dust to uphold a relationship.

The young dog shake his head, there was no one to blame for Sesshomaru not returning. Inuyasha didn't even blame Sesshomaru no thoughts of accusing his mate of abandoning him. In Inuyasha's mind he caused Sesshomaru's leaving due to his inadequate behavior as a mate. Who would return to a man who behavior was akin to puppy? He had hurt Sesshomaru with his spiteful words, he had on many occasion looked over his brother's emotions. Inuyasha was positive that if he was in Sesshomaru's place he wouldn't return to himself.

Inuyasha had lost the most precious person in the world.

That exactly what Sesshomaru was,—Inuyasha's world. Sesshomaru was loved by everyone; Western lands prosper because Sesshomaru had placed every aspect of himself into protecting, loving and cherishing his people and land. Lord Sesshomaru was a legend…legends don't die.

Sango and Miroku stood by Inuyasha's side. Even they were crying. There was a mass of people—demons of every breed, half-demons and even humans had traveled far to pay respects to Sesshomaru. Inuyasha didn't look like he was moving on his own accord as his friends stood on either side of him and carried him back into the estate as rain began to fall. Silent lightening flash in the sky as the monk and slayer sat the young man down facing away from the window. They talked comforting words to him but they all seemed to plunge on deaf ears not affecting Inuyasha at all. "He's dead and we are all going to miss him," Sango mutter, she fear Inuyasha would collapse into a depression of no return. Inuyasha might always possess a macho demeanor as if it was him against the world, but those who knew him understood that Inuyasha wore his heart on his sleeve.

Inuyasha jumps up at Sango's comment. "NO!" Inuyasha screams as he grabs his hair, 'Sesshomaru can't die. He's the 'Killing Perfection'…he couldn't die! FUCK, legends don't die!" Inuyasha fell to the ground, "Sesshomaru where are you?" he calls out. Sango and Miroku shared a worried look. Sango tries to usher out the two children.

The kids had become deadly silent, constantly following behind the adults. Shippo and Rin rationalized what was happening. These were not kids that grew up in a sheltered home protected from reality. They knew the severity of death. That didn't make the emotions any less intense. Shippo wanted to break down and cry. Sesshomaru had become a father-figure to the kit. The late lord had not picked on him like Inuyasha nor did he over pamper him like Kagome; Sesshomaru had treated him like an adult he had seen Shippo in a way that the young kit had never even invasion himself. Sesshomaru was one of a kind to the fox and now he was gone. That fact tore at Shippo, but every time the need to break down consume in his own self-pity he would see Rin at his side and try his best to remain strong for her. Rin hadn't spoken a single word since Sesshomaru's passing. The child had lost her voice. In the beginning she refused food and spent the day wasting away crying. Not only had the child lost her father she had lost her uncle Natsume; who else were there to call her Princess Rin? If it wasn't for the fact that Rin knew Sesshomaru would be scolding her for refusing to eat and Natsume would rip his own heart to erase her tears gave Rin the small bit of strength to try to be a good girl for those who watched over her now. Even in death Rin would follow Lord Sesshomaru's order and be the best daughter she could hope to be.

Sango and the kids exited the room leaving Inuyasha and Miroku as the only occupants. "Sesshomaru answer me when I'm calling you!" Inuyasha screams again as his eyes frantically searched the room; on wobbly knees Inuyasha stands. Inuyasha runs to the bed and tears off the sheet once again call for his mate. Making a mad-dash to the closet Inuyasha throws articles of clothing over his shoulder as he searched for his brother in what seemed to be a twisted game of hide-and-seek. "I'm not playing!" Inuyasha bellows. He jumps over the bed as he tries to make it to the washroom door, before he is able to he's brutally yanked out of the air by Miroku.

The monk holds Inuyasha's shoulder, "What are doing?"

Inuyasha looks at Miroku in disbelief, his body tense as he tries to hold Inuyasha still "I'm looking for my mate." Inuyasha's eyes were frantic as he kept looking around feverously. Miroku loosens his hold his mouth slightly ajar; he was stunned. Miroku audibly gulp, he was afraid.

"I-Inuyasha…?" the monk stammers his voice laced with concern.

The half-demon takes slow measured steps away from his friend. Inuyasha wanted to run. Inuyasha knew the look Miroku was given him. The young priest only looked this serious when he was genuinely comforting a family about a loss one; without thoughts of grouping the mourning females. Inuyasha knew he had to stop Miroku from looking at him he didn't want to receive that message, "M-M-Miroku where is S-S-Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha goes to the window, thunder roared "It normally doesn't t-t-t-take him so long t-to come back from p-p-patrolling." Inuyasha knees gave out as he fall leaning on the wall. "The weather is horrible," he mutters to himself, "h-he has been g-gone all day." Inuyasha curled himself up as he bought his knees to his chest and hugged them tightly. He calls the monk name, "Inform the staff that the minute they hear word about Sesshomaru to inform me and tell him that I need him. It's really important that he's here with me now." Something was wrong and Inuyasha knew Miroku could fix it, after all Miroku was the most reasonable one from there mix-match group. Inuyasha peaks a glance at Miroku, his eyes still shun with anticipation of bad news. Inuyasha didn't like it. Looking pass the concerning eyes, Inuyasha can see that the monk was crying too "Miroku, why are you crying?" The initial surprise of Inuyasha speaking directly to him caught him off guard. Inuyasha press on forwards when he realizes Miroku wasn't going to say anything, "Do I-I miss him that much?" Inuyasha's hand was shaking as he wipes his face. The intensity of grieving for his brother was too much for a man that was only missing for a day. It might have physically been a day, but to Inuyasha felt as if it had been longer, Sesshomaru had been trying to separate himself from him since Kagome officially separated herself from the group. "Why doesn't he come to bed, Miroku?" He might have addressed the monk, but the look in his eyes revealed that he was far from speaking to Miroku. "He doesn't really talk to me anymore, I'm beginning to worry." Inuyasha punches the wall feebly, "Damn it; Why won't he just tell me what is going on?"

Miroku bites down on his bottom lip as he walks over and crunches down in front of Inuyasha, "My friend," his voice was barely over a whisper, "Sesshomaru is dead." It was a fact that the monk knew could crush Inuyasha. It actually hurt Miroku's heart having to tell him. Miroku wasn't trying to rub salt in an open wound; he was positive that deep down Inuyasha knew that he had lost his chance to be cherished and held lovingly in his brother's arms. Those two had spent too many days warring against one another.

Inuyasha shakes his head wildly, "NO!" The pup's breathing became strenuous "Sesshomaru is NOT dead."

Miroku place a gentle hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, "He died Inuyasha," Inuyasha pushed the monk away from him. Miroku lands on his ass. He continue trying to explain to the young prince, "Sesshomaru died facing Naraku…Don't you recall?" Inuyasha closes his eyes shutting himself away from the truth. Getting up on his knees Miroku holds Inuyasha in his arms as he pat his back, "Breath Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's lungs refused to take in a constant gasp of air. His face was turning red. "You're lying. He is alive, Miroku." Inuyasha's voice was weak, but confident. "We just got here. Remember this Miroku?" He pushes Miroku away gently so that he may see his eyes. "Kagome just left. Shippo!" the kits name sprang from him in an excited murmur, "Sesshomaru just got him to reveal his inner beast." Inuyasha repeatedly kept nodding his head as if trying to convince Miroku to simply agree. "When you see him, tell him…let him know that I'm waiting."

Pity thickens in the monk's eyes as he takes Inuyasha's hand in his, "I will." Standing Miroku walks to the door leaving Inuyasha in the room alone.

Inuyasha began rocking back and forth, as his mind played the scene of his and Miroku's conversation over and over again. The way Miroku had looked at him had almost convinced Inuyasha that he was speaking the truth…almost. Inuyasha refuse to believe. Inuyasha crawls into bed tears silently race down Inuyasha's face, he clenched the silk sheets in his hands and froze, "Why were the sheets so warm?" The half-demon sprang from the bed and threw the door open. He ran to his brother's study, which was where Sesshomaru went every morning before breakfast. Inuyasha opens the door, forgetting all manners "Sesshomaru!" he screamed. Sesshomaru wasn't there. 'Where are you brother?' Inuyasha heart pounded loudly in his chest, 'Miroku was wrong! Miroku was wrong!' "Sesshomaru!" he called out again. A muffled sound answers him. Inuyasha's puppy ears flexed back and forth to locate the sound. Inuyasha followed the sound to their private spring. Inuyasha practically threw the shoji door open.

Sesshomaru rose from the heated water as he continued to wash out random blotches of soap out of his hair. Sesshomaru stopped what he was doing; turning to Inuyasha his face was etch with worry, "Inuyasha" he called. The young dog actions were automatic, he fell to his knees and he began crying with a smile on his face. Sesshomaru sprang from the water not even bothering to care about his indecency. "What's wrong koi?" he knelt beside Inuyasha's fallen form. He held his brother to his chest. There was nothing in between them—nothing to validate that this wasn't real. Inuyasha pulled closer to his mate, as he pressed his lips on his brother's flesh kissing anywhere his mouth reached. Sesshomaru pushed Inuyasha away gently to look at Inuyasha's face, "Tell me what is wrong?" he asked "Why are you so…"

"Scared?" Inuyasha offers sarcastically. Sesshomaru gently wipes Inuyasha's tear stain cheeks as Inuyasha kissed his palm. Sesshomaru raised an arch eyebrow silently prompting his brother to explain to him his actions. The younger dog quickly understood, "I just…I thought something was wrong—wrong with you." Sesshomaru bought Inuyasha into a tighter hug. Happiness swelled in the younger dog's chest that it made him want to cry again, but there was no need Sesshomaru was here.

Sesshomaru locked eyes with his brother-mate, "I am the great Demon Lord of the West," he moved a stray hair from in front of Inuyasha's face, "there is no need to be afraid for me." A smug smile graces his features, "Nothing can harm me."

Inuyasha loved when Sesshomaru smiled, it was Inuyasha's favorite treasure. Inuyasha simply shake his head he didn't have to worry or fret over Miroku's false words, he held Sesshomaru's hand entwining their fingers. "They said that you were fighting, Naraku and there was a horrible ending you won, but died."

The Western Lord frown, he bought their entwine fingers to his lips as he kissed each knuckle independently. "It was just a dream." Sesshomaru offered.

"Yea, just a dream," Inuyasha copied.

Sesshomaru stood as he held out a hand to his brother. "Come inside with me?" Inuyasha instant blush his mind taking perverted ideas. Sesshomaru chuckled and Inuyasha bathed in the sound. "Into the spring I mean." Inuyasha could only look away. He couldn't believe that he could be so predictable. "Do you want to?" Sesshomaru asks slightly afraid of Inuyasha's hesitation. The young boy finally looks up; his face was instantly red Sesshomaru was naked. From the angle half-demon was sitting gave him a much explicated view of all of Sesshomaru's goods.

The half-demon stood, "I'll love to." he didn't look at Sesshomaru's face slightly embarrassed at being caught at shamelessly observing his body.

The Lord bend down to his brother's ears, "Don't be afraid to look," He presses his head on his brother's their breath mingled in the heated room, "my body is yours to play with." The older dog grinds their members' together, Inuyasha yelp.

Inuyasha was glad that it was just a dream, a long terrible nightmare. The silver pup didn't even notice when his mate had removed his clothing, only becoming vaguely aware of anything other than Sesshomaru when his feet touched the heated water. Inuyasha was about to ask how Sesshomaru manage to strip him so fast when Sesshomaru prevents any sound from leaving his mouth with a swift lick to his bottom lip. Instantly Inuyasha opened for his brother. Damn, how long had he gone without the taste of Sesshomaru exploding in his mouth? It had to be way too long. Inuyasha dived in and devour all that was given and stole everything that his brother dared to hold back. The kiss was passionate and powerful, the young prince found his mind and soul teetering on the brick of insanity with the simple desire of wanting…wanting more of Sesshomaru, every little drop.

The older dog rendered full control to his sibling. He was telling Inuyasha that he didn't have to work so hard to receive his love. Sesshomaru was giving all of himself…willingly. They broke away for some much needed air. Inuyasha on the other hand found the need for oxygen trivial to his need for his Sesshomaru so Inuyasha began nipping and licking at his mate's neck. Sesshomaru closed his eyes, trusting himself in Inuyasha's arms. The act didn't go unnoticed as the younger one smiled against Sesshomaru's neck. Testing the boundary of their trust Inuyasha ventures south. Sesshomaru wasn't fully hard and Inuyasha knew he had to alter that. Smiling to himself with his evil thoughts, taking in a deep breath he engulf the entire penis in one fluid motion. Sesshomaru practically jumped out of his skin. Even that wasn't enough for the boy. Mercilessly Inuyasha began bobbing his head vigorously. He cradle the heavy appendage with his tongue as he could feel it sliding down his throat as Sesshomaru became harder and longer. With two fingers Inuyasha played with his brother's balls. He slides them between the heavy dual, occasionally taking one in his palm and giving it a gentle squeeze. The younger boy runs his fingers in the silver curls sending smalls jolts of excitement throughout his lower abdominals and genitals. Reluctantly Sesshomaru grabs hold of his mate's hair and pulls him off his now rock solid leaking cock. The older one was panting hard, "Not yet." Sesshomaru murmurs his voice coarse and lust filled. Sesshomaru brings Inuyasha's lips to his, seeking the control he is accustom to. He pushed both parties into waist-deep water. He glides his hand down the arch of Inuyasha's back as said brother moves in closer into him. Grabbing a handful of firm ass Sesshomaru squeezes tightly, Inuyasha yelps and blushes. The younger dog lifts one leg and attaches it to his older brother's waist and circles his arms around his neck. Kneading his brother's hind quarters like dough he slips a single digit in. It surprised Inuyasha, he held on tighter to his brother.

Inuyasha licked the shell of the full-demon pointed elf ear, "Give me more." he grunted out becoming quit accustom to the finger in his ass. Happily Sesshomaru obeys sticking two other fingers along with the first. Inuyasha whimpered in pain but hold on to Sesshomaru. Comforting his mate Sesshomaru licks away the single tear drop that had successfully fallen. Going as fast as possible Sesshomaru could at that angle he penetrated the boy over and over again. Inuyasha cried out his muscles tighten painfully around his brother's fingers. Inuyasha cursed at himself, with three fingers Sesshomaru had him ready to cum. The muscle in his stomach tightening up, a sign before a blissful and powerful orgasm to come.

Sesshomaru pulls his fingers out.

The Western Prince growls and bites his brother's shoulder, "Bastard."

An overdramatic look of false pain attached itself to Sesshomaru's features, "I couldn't have you finishing with only my finger, now?"

"Egotistical Ass," was Inuyasha's brilliant answer. Brothers locked eyes, before they both suddenly broke out laughing. "You really are too mean to me." Inuyasha pouts.

Sesshomaru smiles and begins to play along, "How so?"

"You bring me so close to the edge of an earth shattering orgasm. You turn my body and mind to mush in your presents. When it comes to completing the deal you slyly fox away." Inuyasha cross his hands over his chest in a mock of anger, "You are truly cruel."

"I didn't know you crave me so?" Sesshomaru egged on his brother.

"You lie." Inuyasha presses his forehead to his brother as he continues his false façade of anger, "How couldn't I crave you?" Inuyasha slides his hands in Sesshomaru hair, the left over soap allowing his hand to glide easily through the silver locks.

"Is that so?"

"Of course," Inuyasha turned his anger to surprised, "What evidence do you need?" Inuyasha shimmy closer to his brother as he lower his voice. "I know you see how well my body molds into yours, the gods themselves crafted us for one another." Inuyasha twirled his finger around Sesshomaru's nipple not once touching it. Sesshomaru hiss in response. "Like a bitch in a constant heat I endure sexual frustration waiting on you and your mighty cock to relinquish me from this fire. I know no other can, so I patiently wait for you to extinguish my heat by coating my flames with your thick semen." Sesshomaru's control was slipping with his small vixen of a brother talking to him so dirty. Inuyasha knew his brother was losing control and he was enjoying every minute of it. Inuyasha pushed forward knowing his next words would drive Sesshomaru over the deep end. "And if there was nothing else to prove how much I crave for you, big brother, I know you feel," Inuyasha takes Sesshomaru's hand and brings it under the water, "how fucking hard you make me." Inuyasha wrapped their entwine hands around his member. Inuyasha hiss at the instant pleasure. Suddenly Inuyasha became serious, "Brother, I want you in me now."

In-Inuyasha…"

"NOW!" the pup practically yelled.

Sesshomaru happily obeys, he holds onto Inuyasha's thigh as he host the boy above his waist. Sesshomaru takes aim, the tip of his head bluntly teasing his mate's opening. Inuyasha growls a warning. Wishing to please, the lord thrust until he's balls deep into his brother in one motion. Sesshomaru's eyes flashed rapidly between red and gold as he forced his body to remain still. Inuyasha held on tightly to Sesshomaru's shoulders his claws accidently drawing blood. The red droplets drip into the water unnoticed by anyone. Finally remembering the procedure of breathing the younger dog is able to calm down. The brother's lock eyes, "Sesshomaru," Inuyasha calls lowly as if afraid to break the spell his mate as obviously placed on him, "I love the way I feel when you're buried deep within me. I-I feel so complete." Sesshomaru could only grunt Inuyasha was so tight that he felt as if he was literally being suffocated. Inuyasha didn't mind his brother lack of response; the younger dog could clearly see that the beast and Sesshomaru were in a clash for dominance. Inuyasha didn't really like the fact that he had to choose between two different people who happened to share the same body. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that—except no matter which Sesshomaru was fucking one he felt as he was somehow cheating on the other. Inuyasha placed his hand on either side of his brother's face, "Both of you stay." Sesshomaru face split into a smile. The half-demon watched in utter fascination as each eye morphed into two different colors. His brother blinked and suddenly the pair of eyes became fire-orange. Inuyasha gave his brother-mate a gentle peck on the lips. "Now," Inuyasha began grinding on his mates embedded cock, "move."

The water rippled waves rapidly crashing into each other as Sesshomaru pounded into his brother mercilessly. Screams of 'more,' 'deeper,' and 'stronger' filled the room as Sesshomaru grunted along creating their very own song. It was a song that would never be able to recreate; something that only they would ever possess. The elder brother's lips crashed into his sibling as Inuyasha was only able to whimper into the gesture. With a specifically had thrust Sesshomaru smacked Inuyasha's prostate. Inuyasha ripped his mouth away and screamed the half-demon was positive that his mate had probably relocated his prostate. Sesshomaru found it quickly once again. Minutes went by though they passed liked seconds before both boys simultaneously came. The western lord bought them back to the shore. They lay together on the floor still connected. The younger dog loved this feeling of his brother's penis residing in him; he could feel every pulse and twitch. He could feel his mate pulling out so he clamps down, "Stay," Inuyasha asks meekly hiding himself away from his brother by burying himself deeper in his chest, "I mean if it is not uncomfortable for you?"

The older dog lifts Inuyasha's face and began running his claws into his mate's hair, "I have no qualms about though, though it is slightly uncomfortable the angle I'm position in." Frowning slightly Inuyasha kneels up about to remove himself, when Sesshomaru stops him by pulling on his waist. "Don't leave." The words came out in a whimper, but oddly sounded like an order.

"But S-Sesshomaru,"

Western Lord raised an eyebrow in thought, "Turn around."

"I'm still connected to you," a blush claims his cheeks. It is true that the brothers had sex together before—hell they had sex for an entire day—but it always humbled Inuyasha. It always plagued Inuyasha to come to understanding how a half-demon, shun for his blood by all, somehow manage to be favored by a Lord.

"Just try," Sesshomaru ushered.

Sighing, but willing Inuyasha swings his legs over and moves. The response was automatic; electricity ran down Inuyasha's member. Inuyasha's head jested a little unto Sesshomaru abdominals. The older dog shut his eyes and grabbed down forcefully on Inuyasha's thigh. His claws dig harshly into the flesh, but Sesshomaru didn't draw blood. Inuyasha stopped moving all together, slightly embarrassed and afraid that he had done something wrong. With his brother remaining still Sesshomaru kept his eyes closed and tried to catch his breath. "Sorry," Inuyasha says.

"Nothing to apologies for," Sesshomaru unclench his eyes, Inuyasha wouldn't meet his gaze. Sesshomaru ran his claws gently down his lover's stomach gaining his attention, "just go slowly, ok?"

Inuyasha nodded, somehow—accompanied with muffled moans—Inuyasha manages to spin around. With his back to his mate's chest Inuyasha somehow feels as if he actually being stretch more. Inuyasha sighs in glee; it was an indescribable feeling of blissfulness. Unable to resist Sesshomaru pushes all the way in, Inuyasha groans. Whispering Sesshomaru inquires if Inuyasha is okay and comfortable. Inuyasha eagerly nods yes. Entwining his fingers with Sesshomaru's that laid on his stomach in a loose hug Inuyasha turn's his head to his brother. Seeing that his mate was trying to look at him Sesshomaru prompts himself up onto his elbow. Inuyasha smiles up at him, "I… love… love you, Sesshomaru… I love you"

Sesshomaru bent down and captured his lover's lip. Their tongues slide easily against one another, "I love you too."

XOXOXO

Inuyasha opened his eyes; he was surprised he stumbled to the floor and screamed. The dark double door sprang open by two guards, "Lord Inuyasha is everything alright?" one asked.

Inuyasha didn't even pay them any attention to them as his eyes landed unto his brother who remain lying in bed. Inuyasha could feel his bottom lip trembling, but he knew it was unwise to look weak. Turning to the guards he placed on a false bravado, "Everything is alright. Return to your post." The guards followed orders, even though they knew something was wrong. As of the late Grief as made residence in the Western estate and everyone knew of its presents including the staff. It wouldn't be the first time that the estate operated without a leader, many times Sesshomaru had left home roaming the country. The house knew how to operate and they did their duties, hoping for their lord to return.

Inuyasha sat at the edge of the bed taking Sesshomaru's hand into his—it was warm a glorious sign that life remain in the motionless body. It has been two entire moon cycles nothing had changed. "Why does my brain torture me?" He inquiries from his brother, he didn't expect an answer but would have been more than pleased if he had gotten one. "My mind is so cruel allowing me to vision you with me again, sometimes we fight, and sometimes we simple talk, other times we rut. Every time, no matter what we do, you tell me that you love me." Inuyasha lay on Sesshomaru's chest craving contact, "We are able to do all of this before I'm forced to wake up all over again to see you in this state." Inuyasha wiped the tears that spilled from his eyes, "Why?"

XOXOXO

Exhaustion claimed the dog-loving goddess. She refused to give up. She stood in front of a full length mirror, but her reflection was not shown. Inside the mirror Sesshomaru's spirit resided. Every time that she would try to get in Sesshomaru's aura would push her out. She was positive that he wasn't doing it on purpose, subconsciously he was protecting himself. There were times when she would be able to communicate with Sesshomaru and what she could gather from that information that he was scared, but he wasn't afraid for the mate he had left behind.

She had tried to encourage him to come to her, but she knew she wasn't seeing what he saw and he had no idea which way to go. At one point Sesshomaru just decided to stop moving. He felt as if he was getting nowhere fast. He had heard a voice calling him, telling him at the end there was hope but he couldn't find it, to him it was a lost cost. He would trace back his step, but what was the point. Sesshomaru hated it hear, why wasn't he dead? Even if it meant residing in hell, the constant pain would at minimum be a reminder that he was something. Sesshomaru knew he wasn't dead, the kind voice told him. He wasn't sure if the voice was real anymore he was losing faith, but he told himself it was okay. He was positive that it was never real it was probably had always been in his brain.

The goddess could feel Sesshomaru giving up, he would be stuck her forever if he's waiting for true death to claim him. The goddess knew that time was not favorable to them now. If Sesshomaru's body deteriorated from lack of food, exercise and just everyday care death will fully have him. She had an idea, but she knew that she would need Inuyasha, yet she was afraid to. She knew Inuyasha would be more than willing to render aid, but she didn't want to give him false hope. Crossing her legs Indian-style she decides that she'll try one more time and if she failed she would swallow her pride and go find the pup. Focusing her energy she called out the previous Western Lord.

Sesshomaru shake his head widely, he was slowly going insane; it was that voice again. "Leave me the hell alone," he hissed.

"Do me a favor," she pleaded, "Picture a mirror.

"I'm s-surrounded by them."

The lady of the moon smiled, "Go through the mirror come to me. Inuyasha is waiting for you on the other side." She offered that information as incentive for Sesshomaru.

"Stop it," Sesshomaru growled, "STOP PLAYING WITH MY MIND!" Sesshomaru spun around in a circle. "There's nothing but darkness in the mirrors."

The new information made the Lady of the moon panic, she could see him but he couldn't see her.

Sesshomaru was aggravated; he didn't want to hear the voice anymore. With clench fist he punched the mirror. It only slight crack appeared. Instantly the Lady Moon was ejected. With a last ditch effort she placed a barrier around the mirror, she had to go to Inuyasha now. She was determined to save Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru could tell that he was losing it. He could feel the barrier around the mirror, but he kept on. Tears burn his eyes from the frustration of it all. Hell would be better than this purgatory. He just wanted to escape. He didn't want to be constantly reminded how he failed Inuyasha by always hearing his name. Reluctantly Sesshomaru gave up; he fell to the ground and just allowed the tears. Sesshomaru is angry, alone and trapped. This obviously is hell.
