He could not bring himself to do as she asked. He sat in a dark room with the jewel in his hand.
The damned thing.
"What are you going to do with it?" Inuyasha asked.
He didnt know,
"What are you going to do with her?" Inuyasha asked,
He didnt know.
"Why didnt you mate her?"
He didnt know, and he didn't need his brother making it worse.
"Leave me,"
"We can't just leave her body in there like that,"
"I am aware, Inuyasha, leave me for now,"
He did, but he would be back.
Sesshomaru looked at the jewel. War raged within it now that she was gone.
He wondered, if he could bring her back, would she want it? If he asked to come back, to be with him, would she?
They said living is hard and death is easy. Would it be cruel? Yes, to ask her now, after her death, not when she was alive. He was thinking foolishly.
He made a fist around the jewel and made a trip.
All he could do was ask.
His mother was waiting when he arrived as if she knew he was coming.
"I need to speak to the Miko,"
"You mean the one who lies dead?"
He glared at her,
"Who do you think I am, Sesshomaru? I am no God; I have no power over heaven nor hell."
He glared at her,
She rolled her eyes. "And what do you wish to ask her?"
"To come back."
She laughed. "Oh, my poor son, does that human mean that much to you,"
He did not answer,
"Why then did you wait till she was dead?" She walked around him. "Do you love her?"
She sniffed. "You cried for her,"
He growled,
"Oh my," She said, this tisked "Even if you could ask her, even if she wanted to, she can not come back; the body is already decaying,"
It made him sick.
"It would be cruel to talk to her now,"
"It can be done,"
"It can, but no one has the power to bring her back save that thing in your hand, and wishing on that will do no good; it will twist your wants,"
Sesshomaru looked at the jewel.
"Then, to meet her, I would have to die,"
"Dont be so dramatic, Sesshomaru, I said, wishing on it; why not bargain with it,"
That sounded just as bad as wishing.
"Defeat the demon Sesshomaru and bargain with Moridoki,"
Why had no one ever thought of that? Why hadn't he thought of that?
"It won't be easy,"
He didnt care,
"You will need Inuyasha's sword,"
He could get it, he was sure. He would ask this time.
"You may die,"
"Then I would be with her,"
"I highly doubt that my son, she isn't in hell,"
He glared at her,
"So dont die,"
