Chapter 19: Confession
Inuyasha and the others already made camp, Sango and Miroku were fast asleep, as well at Shippo and Kilala. Inuyasha had finally managed to get Hanon to sleep. She refused to sleep, but Inuyasha knew how much she needed it. Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken all left as well. Leaving Inuyasha and Rin the only ones awake, Rini hadn't spoken a word and neither did Inuyasha. Finally Rini broke the silence,
"You really don't remember anything, do you?" she asked, Inuyasha shook his head.
"I lied, i remember everything, i remember dying, even the things I wasn't able to see, it felt like someone was telling me everything that was going on, i didn't tell Hanon because she probably didn't want me to know that she was weak. But to be honest, she wasn't being weak at all, she is stronger than me, she wasn't afraid to show people how she really felt inside, the more she cried, the more i knew how she felt" he said, Rini stared at him with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry, i wasn't there when it happened, but when you explain, i get glimpses from your mind and i can see her crying, i can see her screaming for help, i saw the battle, and saw Sesshomaru getting hurt and trying to save you" she said, begining to cry.
"Please, don't cry" he said, putting his arm around her. Rini wiped her tears, and stared up at Inuyasha.
"Promise you'll tell Hanon what she asked you to tell her" she said, at first Inuyasha was clueless, then he remembered what she had been saying before Inuyasha had awaken.
"I promise, first time i get the chance, i'll let her know, but i got somethin i gotta do first" he said,
"Like what?" asked Rini, Inuyasha smiled a little.
"You'll see, but right now, i think we should both get some rest" he said, beginning to drift off to sleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha made his way throught the forest, he had to wake up early so he wouldn't wake Hanon. If he did, then he would never be able to do what he had to do. He knelt on the ground and began to sniff, his brother's scent was getting closer. Inuyasha began picking up his pace and skidded to a stop when he saw Rin.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" she asked, picking a flower from the ground.
"I should ask you the same question" he said, Rin smiled.
"I'm picking flowers for Lord Sesshomaru, which reminds me, i've wanted to tell you that i think you should talk to him" she said, picking another flower.
"Thats kind of why i'm here, you know where i can find him?" he asked, Rin nodded.
"He over there" she pointed to a waterfall that seemed to be guarded by gaint boulders. "He is still recovering from his injuries, but even though he might not look like he's happy to see you, just know that he really is" she said and continued to pick flowers. Inuyasha found himself grinning, he quickly shook the grin away, not wanting to be obivious that he was seeing Sesshomaru. He began walking in the direction Rin had pointed at and decided to walk fast, it was weird enough that he was going to see him in the first place, considering how much they hate each other, so he wanted to get it over with. He reached the waterfall and found Sesshomaru laying underneath a tree, he seemed weaken and hurt. Even though when he had brought Inuyasha back to life he looked at as if he didn't have a scratch. Sesshomaru looked up at his brother.
"Inuyasha, what brings you here" he asked, his silver hair blew a little in the wind. Inuyasha hesitated, he wasn't used to speaking with his brother like this, well unless you count name calling and yelling. Other than that he was utterly speechless, he sat down a few inches away from him. Jaken came in from behind and gasped.
"What are you doing here! This is your fault that Lord Sesshomaru is hurt! You filthy half-dem-"
"Jaken!" yelled Sesshomaru, cutting off the annoying little toad. Inuyasha gave a lopsided grin at the toad,
"Just you wait, Lord Sesshomaru will be the one who will have Hanon, not you"Jaken muttered under his breath before leaving that Inuyasha couldn't quite catch, but he was sure it wasn't important.
"So i'll ask agian, what brings you here?" he asked, only his voice sounded more like his old self agian. Inuyasha took a deep breath before speaking. He was sure that Sesshomaru wouldn't understand what he was going to say, but he had to get it out. He thought about the time when he had transformed into his full demon form, when he was fighting Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had used Tokijin to slow Inuyasha down, he did, and he could of killed him, but he chose not to.
"Why didn' you kill him, we all know you hate Inuyasha, its hard to believe that you have developed feelings for your younger brother!" yelled Miroku. I was laying on the ground, my body was covered in dried blood, but that didn't matter to me. I decided to keep my eyes closed and listen to what Sesshomaru had to say.
"I will kill him evenventually, why kill him now, when he doesn't even know himself, there would be no point" he said and walked away.
Inuyasha knew the real reason he went to Inuyasha, could it be possible that Sesshomaru was actually looking after him, even if he was a half-demon. Did it have something to do with Rin? The little girl who traveled with him, she was a human after all, could she be responsible for Sesshomaru's sudden kindness? He shook the questions away.
"I... wanted to say... Thank you" he said, Sesshomaru looked up at him. His eyes seemed to look a little thankful, but his face was strong which made the thankful expression in his eyes hard to read.
"For what?" he asked, Inuyasha closed his eyes and reopened them agian.
"For bringing me back to life" he said, Sesshomaru rose to his feet.
"I didn't just do it for you, i did it for Hanon to, i couldnt see her like that, it was to disturbing, and when she transformed it-"
"She transformed?" asked Inuyasha, his face stern and confused. He didn't remember hearing anything about her transforming.
"Yes, her emotions were all confused and she seemed to have lost control of herself, when she transformed she began pounding her gaint claws in the ground, and when Rin yelled at her, she seemed to calm down, but it looked like she was fighting with something, or someone" said Sesshomaru, "and whoever it is, they must be dangerous, because from what i saw, Hanon was about to give in" he finished, Inuyasha stared at him.
"Give in to what?" he asked, Sesshomaru shook his head.
"I'm not sure, but whatever happened to her, it was triggered when she saw you dead" he said, Inuyasha stood.
"She cried, it must have something to do with her father, she's unable to cry" he said, Inuyasha balled his hands into fists. Beginning to get angry at the mention of Hanon's father. He had done so many terrible things to Hanon, and even now he hunts Hanon down to kill her. The scared Jewel shard in her pearl not only allows her to tell Inuyasha to sit, but it protects her from her father. It hides her scent, so her father is left clueless on her whereabouts. He began walking away in anger,
"Where are you going?" asked Sesshomaru, Inuyasha turned his head to face him.
"Where else, to find out what the hell is going on" he said and began walking off. Inuyasha continued to walk. He was determined to find out what happened to Hanon, and he wouldn't give up. Hanon meant the world to him, and he wouldn't lose her to her father.

Soooo how did you like it??? I know, i know, it was short, but i like the brotherly love, and even though Sesshomaru hid his true feelings, he really was grateful. :) Ok so the next chapter is Inuyasha beginning to ask a buttload of questions to Hanon, and well lets just say Hanon doesn't like it. Chapter 20: Untold Truths.
