InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Any one can love ❯ Hot springs… >.> ( Chapter 5 )

( I don't own Inuyasha, or its characters, I do own Tsuyara)

 

Hot springs… >.>

 

Inuyasha whined, he had the perfect chance to catch his half brother off guard, but Kagome for some reason wouldn't let him.

“Kagome? WHY DID YOU STOP ME!? I COULD HAVE TAKEN HIM DOWN RIGHT THEN!” Inuyasha yelled.

“WOULD YOU STOP!? If you haven't noticed, Tsuyara has obviously been traveling with Sesshoumaru for who knows how long.” Kagome snapped.

“Feh… your point is?” Inuyasha snarled. Kagome smiled then pointed for every one to follow her, she led them to a place where they could spy on Sesshoumaru and Tsuyara.

“Sesshoumaru obviously told her to hide because he knew if you… or we, saw that Tsuyara was with him, we'd laugh and he didn't want that.” She grinned. Inuyasha formed his mouth into an “O” then grinned evilly as he peeked through the branches of a bush, along with the others. All of them had to hold their breath so not to laugh…

 

Tsuyara began to move off of Sesshoumaru… but Sesshoumaru grabbed hold of her arms, not letting her go. He pulled her down closer to him.

“S-ses…shou-maru?” Tsuyara blinked.

 

The laughter couldn't be held much more… all bystanders, howled with laughter… even Jaken had a sinker of amusement. Sesshoumaru pushed Tsuyara back, gently but embarrassed. Both Tsuyara and Sesshoumaru were blushing, but the redness of Sesshoumaru's face could have matched Inuyasha's red kimono.

“Well, well, well… I've never seen this side of you before Sesshoumaru.” Inuyasha mocked. The demon lord glared dangerously at his half brother…

“Yo-you're on unsteady grounds… hanyou…” Sesshoumaru said. Highly embarrassed. Certainly a new look for Sesshoumaru. Tsuyara climbed off of Sesshoumaru and held her hand out to help him up, he refused… merely because he was simply too proud… Tsuyara rolled her eyes. She turned facing her back towards him… and with the blunt side of her bladed tail smacked Sesshoumaru on the head before she walked over to Kagome and Sango.

“HEY TESU!” Sesshoumaru yelled, now with a big bump on his head… he had started calling her Tesu a while back, sort of a nick name or pet name. “why'd you do that for?” Sesshoumaru whined.

“Prideful dog.” Tsuyara snapped, but she still smiled.

 

That night… due to the fact that Tsuyara considered Kagome and Sango friends… Sesshoumaru unwillingly let them stay near. Tsuyara wanted to spend time with Kagome and Sango, since she hadn't seen them in such a long time. Sesshoumaru obeyed her whim merely because he wanted her to be happy. (Sesshoumaru what have you gotten your self into? *sigh*)

 

The girls spent time together by soaking in a near by hot spring, leaving Inuyasha, the pervert, and Sesshoumaru to talk amongst them selves. Sesshoumaru said hardly any thing as he listened Inuyasha warn the monk to not spy on the woman.

“Oh but Inuyasha… this time there's three! Ah there's beautiful woman not too far form me now. Do you realize how tempt…” Miroku was cut off by Sesshoumaru suddenly.

“You dare lay a single eye on Tsuyara and I will kill you in a heart beat.” He said with deadly speed and warning. Inuyasha couldn't help his next comment.

“Whew… Sesshoumaru. Is that you? This a new for you, it certainly is.” Inuyasha smirked.

“Damn hanyou, keep your mouth shut.” Sesshoumaru warned.

“Geez, Sesshoumaru, settle down, I'm only saying that I've never seen you like this before, and to be honest it sorta freaks me out.” Inuyasha explained. Sesshoumaru looked at him then rolled his eyes.

“Humph… it's not like you've never fallen in love before.” Sesshoumaru shot back. Inuyasha choked on some ramen that he was shoveling into his mouth.

“W-WHAT! Who said I—that I'm in love!?” he stuttered.

“Don't you care for that priestess? What's her name… Kagome?” Sesshoumaru asked. Inuyasha hesitated.

“I—uh…I don't…you…uh….um…I—no-I… *whimper*” Sesshoumaru looked at his brother bewildered.

“You deny this more then I do, and I'm a full demon. Common Inuyasha, I can sense that you love that human from a mile away.” Sesshoumaru laughed. Inuyasha glared, blushing. He looked silly.

 

Sesshoumaru sat silent again… though this time he seemed a little fidgety. He would glance in the direction of the girls. Inuyasha and Miroku where talking to each other again, occasionally bringing Sesshoumaru into the conversation like before. Eventually Sesshoumaru stood up and walked away from the camp fire.

“Hey… Sesshoumaru.” Inuyasha said, “What are ya doing?” Sesshoumaru glanced at Inuyasha and the monk.

“I need some time to my self.” Sesshoumaru said without looking at either of them.

 

He came to a small clearing just beyond the reach of the fire's light. It would be the full moon soon; Sesshoumaru could see it clearly through the gap in the trees. He heard voices. They were the girls. He hadn't realized that he had wandered this near to them. He listened silently as to what they were talking about.

 

Kagome and Sango were laughing then turned to Tsuyara. She wasn't very talkative. Kagome waded next to her.

“Hey. What's on your mind Tsuyara?” she asked. Tsuyara looked up at her just a bit startled.

“Um… n-nothing. I just have a lot on my mind.” She said looking down at the water.

“What is it that you're thinking of?” Sango asked politely. Tsuyara blushed a little. “Ah… would you be thinking of Sesshoumaru?” Sango continued. Tsuyara blushed more.

 

Sesshoumaru suddenly became more interested in their conversation when he heard his name. Silently he sneaked closer to them. They were just in his sight, but he turned, his back facing them. He listened intently.

 

“So? Is it Sesshoumaru that you're thinking of?” Kagome smiled cheerfully.

“Um… I… yeah… I can't stop thinking of him. Sometimes I try, but it seems impossible.” She said holding her necklace in her hands; she closed her eyes and kissed it. Kagome and Sango giggled. Sesshoumaru over heard her and blushed.

“How cute.” Kagome giggled.

“It seems that Sesshoumaru feels the same way though.” Sango said. Kagome tilted her head.

“How so?” she asked.

“Well think of how Sesshoumaru is, he hates us… mostly Inuyasha, but right now he is putting up with us only because Tsuyara wanted to spend time with me and you. Isn't that right Tsuyara?” Sango said looking at both her friends; Kagome nodded understanding, Tsuyara stayed silent though.

“Hey are you alright? You seem troubled.” Kagome asked. Tsuyara sighed.

“While I've been with Sesshoumaru he always say's that love is nothing more then a human emotion… he doesn't like humans… and I …” she paused, deep in thought.

“Do you like humans or something?” Sango asked, assuming that she was like the few demons that enjoy being with humans… just like Shipou and Kirara. Tsuyara shook her head.

“I do, humans are fascinating creatures… but when he raves of how he despises his brother merely because he is a hanyou… I worry for my own well being.” She said in a whisper so low that Sesshoumaru could barely even hear her, of coarse since Sango and Kagome were closer to her then he was they could hear her just barely.

“Why would that worry you, you're a full Youkai…” Kagome said a little confused. Tsuyara glanced at them both and shook her head

“I haven't told him any thing” she began “But the thing is…is that I am also a hanyou…”

 

(Sesshoumaru)

 

Sesshoumaru tried to hear what they were saying; Tsuyara was being to quite for him to clearly hear. He heard the words hanyou… then speak of the devil… Inuyasha suddenly came right in front of his face.

“And what are you doing here?” Inuyasha whispered. The suddenness startled Sesshoumaru and he leapt a few inches off the ground.

 

The girls heard frantic whispering and rustling in the trees.

“MIROKU! YOU PERV!” Sango yelled assuming it was him… in a way it was… he was there. He showed him self but before he could say anything he was clobbered by a few large stones. As he fell Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stood up, Sesshoumaru turned suddenly as to not face either woman.

“INUYASHA!!! SIT BOY!!!!” Kagome yelled suddenly, the necklace around Inuyasha's neck glowed and he was nailed into the ground.

“Damn you Kagome!” Inuyasha said in muffled words then jumped up. “FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! THIS TIME IT WASN'T EITHER ME OR MIROKU! HE WAS THE FIRST ONE HERE!” Inuyasha yelled pointing at Sesshoumaru

“Wait a minute… SESSHOUMARU?!” both Kagome and Sango yelled out, Tsuyara dove under the water to hid her self…embarrassed.

“Yeah… Sesshoumaru!” Inuyasha growled.

“Yes it seems that Sesshoumaru is worse then I am. He came here way before I did.” Miroku sighed. Sesshoumaru sent a deadly glare to the monk.

“I-I'm only saying!” Miroku defended him self.

 

The hecticness finally settled down… sorta. Every one was still wondering why Sesshoumaru was the first one to spy on the girls, even though he didn't intend to, but no one believed him.

“I get it… it was because you like Tsuyara!” Inuyasha said smirking

“Do you enjoy mocking me hanyou?” Sesshoumaru said. Tsuyara turned to Sesshoumaru with sad eyes.

“Don't call him that… please.” She said quietly. Sesshoumaru looked at her shocked… so did Inuyasha and Miroku. Sango and Kagome sorta knew why but they were still a bit surprised.

“What's wrong…Tsuyara?” Sesshoumaru said to her as she started to get up and walk away.

“Sesshoumaru leave her alone… she…” Sango began to say. But Kagome shook her head at her.

“She what? Human tell me!” Sesshoumaru demanded. Kagome and Sango looked at each other.

“Sesshoumaru… don't be angry with her, but she's a hanyou… just like Inuyasha.” Kagome said silently. Every one looked shocked… but Sesshoumaru looked more bewildered then any one.

“How…. She… no, no, no. she couldn't be…. I- I would have sensed it! Your lying wench! Your lying!” Sesshoumaru continued to curse… how could he be so deceived… if this was true how come he couldent sense this?

“If you don't believe us go talk to her your self!” Sango defended Kagome.

 

Sesshoumaru did just that… he left towards the direction that Tsuyara had ran; he walked for some time following her scent. She had gone pretty far. When he finally found her she was at the edge of a cliff sitting and looking out to the night sky. She was crying. Sesshoumaru was full of rage, but he couldent help but fell some sympathy for her. He shook it off and walked towards her.

“YOU'RE A HANYOU!?” he yelled,

“Please don't be angry with me!” Tsuyara said burying her face into her knees. Sesshoumaru brought up a hand intending to slap her… but when his hand reached just a few inches away from her face… he stopped, clenching his hand into a fist. He sighed.

“Why didn't you tell me… how come I couldn't sense this?” Sesshoumaru quieted his tone.

“I… I was afraid to tell you… when you speak of your hate against your brother… it frightened me. I didn't want to get my self hurt.” She said muffled with sobs.

“So answer my second question… how come I couldn't sense this?” Sesshoumaru asked again. Tsuyara shook her head.

“Your not the first Youkai to not know… I don't know why, but every Youkai that crosses my path never senses that I'm only half Youkai…I really don't know why.” she explained hiding her face from Sesshoumaru. “I'll become human tomorrow night, the full moon is my night to take that form.” She whispered.

“Is that why you would run off every month? So that I wouldn't see?” Sesshoumaru said, still raged but gently. Tsuyara nodded slightly.

“I'll stay this time so you can see… if you wish me to. Or do you wish me to leave you for payment of my deceptions?” Tsuyara said coldly with tears muffling her voice. Sesshoumaru was speechless by her words… it somehow ripped at him that she would think that. Was he really that heartless? He breathed deeply and took her hand.

“I…” he couldent find the words he needed so he shook his head. “Don't leave… please…”
