Chapter 19 Mad, Sad, Bad

The young members of the 6th division complete an efficient search of Kukaku's home. Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko follow the men from room to room making sure the men put everything back in place before moving to the next room

"So Shuhei is this about the demon, I have been hearing about?"

"Hmm, I see word has spread this far. Don't worry we will catch the demon. Hopefully, this will be over soon and it will end without any more bloodshed."

"Vice Capt. there's no sign of the demon, I mean man here."

"Ok then lets move on. Sorry again Kukaku." Shuhei and his men swiftly leave to continue their search.

Too bad Shuhei maybe you'd catch Sesshomaru if he were alone but you've got Yoruichi to deal with too and she managed to hide from the Gotei 13 for 100 years.

___________________________________________

With each passing moment the invisible walls between them seem to get higher. Right now neither Sesshomaru or Yoruichi wants to take their wall down or try to climb over the other one's wall. They just don't understand how, and it is easier to hide their pain if the wall is there.

So this is what it is like to love someone. I, Sesshomaru want no part of this. Love is a losing battle, this is a fight even I cannot win.

Silence surrounds them. The silence whispers all the reason they are wrong for even trying. It whispers the truth; they are different from each other maybe too different. They spend the next hour and half in silence. The silence starts to weigh heavy on their hearts and minds.

Too much time passes and silence becomes too much for Yoruichi. This isn't how it's supposed to be. Yoruichi wants to move closer to him, wrap her arms around him and take away the pain but knowing Sesshomaru isn't the "lets hug and make up type" she stays in her chair. She instead of wrapping her arms around him; pulls her knees to her chest wraps her arms around herself. "I am sorry", she whispers. "I am sorry if I hurt you Sesshomaru. I never intended to, I just knew we'd be together again," she says with such sweetness and sincerity Sesshomaru's wall starts to crumble, but not fall.

"Tell me Yoruichi knowing now what you know would you make the same decision?" He already knew her answer before she spoke, but he needs to hear her say it.

"Yes, I am sorry but it is still the right choice, it would cost 10 peoples their lives. I couldn't sacrifice their lives for our happiness."

"Humph, our happiness, you mean your happiness. I, Sesshomaru don't need happiness."

"So you don't want to be happy?"

"Happiness is something only fools pursue. The real pursuit is for power; anything else is a waste of time. I, Sesshomaru only need power."

"So you're saying I am a fool because I want to be happy. Maybe I am because I thought I could be happy with you." She closes her eyes and chuckles. Sesshomaru you didn't kiss me a few hours ago like someone whose only need is power. Why are you fighting me? "I don't believe you. I don't believe all you want is power."

She is right and he knows it. The wall he erected is now useless. He still wants to stay angry with her, it'll make letting her go so much easier. "Think what you want to."

Yoruichi sighs heavily stands up, stretches, and walks across the room and leans on the wall next to the door. " Sesshomaru, you know its too late you already told me you still love me, so why pretend that you don't?"

"I…" He turns around quickly to look at her. He pauses and just stares for a few seconds as he struggles to speak. I don't love you, dammit why can't I say it. "I did no such thing." He turns back around slowly.

"Sesshomaru, you told me with your kisses. You told me by coming here to find me. You..." Yoruichi is stopped by the sound of a thousand bats take flight. Sesshomaru leaps in front of Yoruichi standing between her and the door. Finally the sound stops. "Sesshomaru, its now dark outside the bats are leaving to find food. Like I need to." Yoruichi starts to move around Sesshomaru, but he takes his arm and gently pushes her behind him. She lightly grabs his sleeve. "What is it?" She questions but he doesn't say anything. Just then she senses a faint but familiar spiritual pressure. Sesshomaru moves Yoruichi even further behind him blocking her view of the door. Sesshomaru positions himself in preparation for an attack. After few minutes the spiritual pressure becomes strong enough for Yoruichi to recognize, "It, it can't be"- the door opens.
