Chapter 6 –
Sesshoumaru –
After breakfast he had went outside to train. He had walked further down the training grounds this time to have a little more space and because most of the practice field was still destroyed after Kagome and his light workout yesterday. He had left his swords in his room, and had grabbed a dull training sword and started his intense workout.
1½ hours later –
He threw his left arm through the air, his right following in a smooth punch, hitting a invisible enemy. He swung his leg from the side to hit the invisible enemy in the head, but he stopped all movement when he felt a pull. He looked around only to see that he had moved quite a bit away from the sanctuary and the practicing field. He was about to go back to search for Kagome when he felt the pull again. He turned to see a big rock formation not to far away from his position and it seemed the pull came from it. He walked in long but elegant strides towards it, but it just seemed like ordinary rocks to him. He kept walking around it and he still saw nothing, but his brain kept telling him that something was definetly there. He looked from to the sides and noticed the rock formation had a weird shape... A shape that had to be human or youkai made, and not made by nature's progress over time. He created his demon cloud and flew upwards to the shape or if it would show him something... His eyes widden when he saw the rock formation's shape. It had the shape of a crescent moon. It was a burial site. He lowered himself to the ground again and went another round around it to find the entrance. It took some time, but he finally found a small hole in the stone wall in the middle of the rock formation. He pushed his finger inside of the hole but nothing happened. He had figured as much. It would not have been a genuine inu grave if opening it would have been that easy. He pushed his finger inside of the hole again, and at the same time pushed his youki into the hole too. Slowly a stone door appeared and then disappeared and Sesshoumaru took a step in to enter the grave.
Inside the grave –
The stone door had closed up behind him the minute he had been far enough in for it to close. Had he been a human, then he would have been completely 'blind' from the darkness, but because he was youkai he could see as if it was lid up with candles. He took a step closer, searching for the remains or the records of the inu buried inside this grave. On the stone walls he saw weapons of all kinds. Swords from different eras and cultures. Spears, bows, maces, staffs and axes. It had been made sure the dead could protect him or herself in the afterlife. He took in a sniff to find the scent of decay to locate the remains. He froze to the spot
'This scent... I know this scent' he walked in the direction the scent was the strongest and found a glass coffin with his dead brother inside of it. He had not known where Inu-Yasha had been buried. They had never been that close, which he must admit, he regretted just a bit, but seeing his dead brother in the coffin made him... sad... it made him think back to all their fights and quarrels. He rested his left hand on top of the coffin
"It has been to long my brother" he said in a quiet monotone voice. He had been told some 150 years ago that his brother had died, but the location of his body had not been of any importance to him at the time... Only now did he regret not being able to attend to his funeral... His was about to leave when he noticed a scroll with his name on it at the end of the coffin. Just waiting for him to open and read it after 150 years. He knew right away it was Inu-Yasha's departing words to him, but he was a little reluctant to read it... Would he hate him in the letter, which he now believed Inu-Yasha was entitled to, or was he forgiving him? Sesshoumaru snorted. Inu-Yasha had, much like himself, never really been the forgiving type, but time changed that for him... Had it done the same with Inu-Yasha? He picked up the scroll and started to read
Year 1858, Month June, Day 4
Lord Sesshoumaru, my name is Kira, I am the headmaster of the sanctuary and I have agreed to write on Lord Inu-Yasha's behalf, who is currently lying on his deathbed. I gave my word to help him write this to you, since he does not know how to read or write, and this is the second and last letter that I will help him with;
Sesshoumaru
It would seem your endless threats of killing me was for nothing, since I am currently dying of old-age, so up yours
(Forgive me Milord, but from this point he keeps rambling and curs so I will just pretend to be writing it down, or I swear not even death can keep me from his claws, since he would want me to write every colorful word down, but for one of your status, you should not lower yourself to ruin your eyes with language such as this... Now I will continue...)
Anyway... I have lived a full life with very few regrets. One of them being our bad relationship or the lie I gave you because of our bad relationship. As you maybe, maybe not have already guessed, Kagome was not from our time, but from the future, which explains... well pretty much everything that has to do with Kagome. I chose not to tell you the truth out of fear that the future might have been altered, but now I will just say, give it your best if you are up for the challenge, you both have my blessing and if Kagome has found her sanctuary, and her study then she has probably read my letter for her to.
As you can see around you, I have made sure my grave was that of the Inu-lines tradition and the last of my youki closed it of, making sure only inu descendants would be able to recognize the gravesite and know how to enter. In here you will find all types of weapons, but the most important one is the one in the black sheath. Totosai crafted it from my fangs and was instructed to hide it in here until you would come and get it for Kagome. You will have to teach her how to use a youkai's sword and how to unlock its abilities... I have every faith in you to know how it works, since you mastered the Tetsaiga just by having it one freaking time in your hand! It was so not fair that I had to freaking fight and kill and
(I must apologize again Milord, again it is only curses and ramblings, so again I will just fake write it down... Please forgive this lowly human for taking such deliberates. Back to your brother)
back to the topic. As I have mentioned in my letter to Kagome, you would have to make a trip to the Northern Palace and visit the Lord. The headmaster Saia, who was the headmaster at the sanctuary in 1760-1785 found a scroll and it mentions a sword of light that might just interest your power-hungry ass! Well... I will stop here. I regret not to have worked things out between us, but I do not regret kicking your ass some of the times! I have left the Tetsaiga with the kitsune kid Shippou. He will give it to you when or if, you will ever meet.
In not to long I will go join our father and watch your dumb ass from above. Keep her happy and safe or I will get out and into the world of the living again just to take you back with me! Consider yourself warned!
From your half-brother Inu-Yasha
Throughout the letter, he had snorted and grinned and his curiosity had been peeked. So... He had asked Totosai to create a sword to Kagome... Not only that... The one thing they had been looking for since the beginning of their journey seemed to either be at the Northern Palace or there would be a clue... He would need to find Kagome so they could decide what to do next. He looked around the grave walls and found the black sheath with Kagome's sword. Then he walked out, locking it with his youki, so he could re-enter at anytime, and then he walked back towards the sanctuary, searching for Kagome.
