Chapter 9

 

Seshoumaru looked at Inuyasha and then smiled. Inuyasha could have fallen over in shock.

 

“I think its time that I told you the truth Inuyasha. About you, your heritage, your father and your mother.”

 

ONWARDS!

 

Inuyasha could hardly contain his shock. Seshoumaru was smiling! As in actually smiling! Seshoumaru sat down and motioned for Inuyasha to do the same. Inuyasha sat down without hesitation. There was something about Seshoumaru's attitude….like he had just been relieved of a very large burden.

 

Seshoumaru opened a drawer and took out a set of scrolls. They were very dusty and looked very ancient. He hit them against once, very lightly so as to rid the dust and then put them on the desk. He then unrolled them. Inuyasha looked at them but they were empty.

 

“What the fuck are you playing at bastard!” he snarled.

 

Seshoumaru shook his head at him, amused, “Have a little patience, Inuyasha.”

 

As minutes and seconds went by, the scrolls started glowing and a small beam of light shot out of it. Another beam soon followed as did the others. In am matter of minutes from the scroll were emerging millions of rays which were slowly forming a ball.

 

Inuyasha was enthralled by the beautiful glowing globe. Slowly an image started forming in it. As the image became clear, Inuyasha gasped loudly. The face of his dead father was smiling at him from the ball of light.

 

“How -What!?”

 

The face started speaking,

 

“If you are looking at this, Inuyasha, I assume that I am dead and you have chosen a mate. I know what you must be feeling right now. Please let a father ask for his forgiveness for all the pain and sorrow you went through after your birth. Believe me I am truly sorry. But it had to be done. It was the only way to make your demon strong enough and powerful enough to protect yourself and your future family. Today is the day, you find out the truth about yourself.

 

Seshoumaru's mother Touran was also a dog demoness whose life I saved from a large bear youkai. She had been trying to protect a human girl and had been severely injured. I has stunned by her beauty and took her to my castle in the western lands. The girl, whose life she had saved refused to leave her side and since I bore no hatred towards humans, I let her come along. There she tended to the demoness for days till her body finished its healing.

 

A week later, the demoness opened her eyes and I was informed by the girl. I went to greet her and she thanked me for saving her. To my surprise she knew the girl and was very protective towards her. It later came to my knowledge that every dog demoness finds a person to protect in her life and Touran had been watching over this girl since the girl had been born. Her name was Izayoui. She was your mother, Inuyasha.

 

I know this sounds strange hypocritical but please listen to me. I found out that Touran's pack had found out about Izayoi and they abandoned her, labeling her as a traitor. I invited her and Izayoi to stay as long as possible. A few years later Touran and I fell in love and mated. Then a year later, we had Seshoumaru. We were perfectly contented until five years later, a war broke between the northern lands and the western lands. I was called into battle. I left my unwilling mate at home with Izayoi and left. It was around that time, that the castle was attacked by the dragon youkai of the north. The target was my mate. Touran fought back with the best of her abilities but there were too many. Izayoui tried to protect her and got badly wounded in the process. But…..when I got the news and returned home as quickly as I could but she….she died in my arms. She told me to take care of Seshoumar and Izayoui. I promised and she died. In my rage and grief, I returned to the battle and fought vigourously and killed the lord of the northern lands, the dragon youkai. The battle was won the next day and my mate's murderers were brutally killed.

 

After her death, I was in such a state of grief and depression that I didn't want to live anymore. It was Izayoui who then pulled me out of that depression. She also shared the same burden and she gave me a shoulder to cry on, to express my grief. She was always there when I needed to talk to someone. She showed me that I had been neglecting my son Seshoumaru. I tried to make up for all the suffering and neglect that boy had gone through but it was too late for that. He was always distant from me. He only responded to Izayoui.

 

Slowly as the years went by, I realized that Izayoui had grown very dear to me. She was my best friend and confidante. She had also grown very beautiful and a lot of humans had their eye on her. During the days when Touran was alive, Izayoui used to live in her village and often visit us. Her father was the headman and he disapproved of his daughter's association with demons but his fear of me kept him at bay. Hen Turan died, Izayoui practically lived at the castle, but she would often visit her home where the men would leer at her, and try to court her. Izayoui was very flattered by this but I disliked it. I had slowly started falling in love with this human. I confessed my feelings and found them returned. We mated that night. However, she would not let me put the mating mark on her neck because she wanted to lead a human's life span. I was unwilling but I let her have her way.

 

A week later I found out that she was pregnant. I was thrilled as was your mother. Seshoumaru was also happy as to the prospect of having another sibling. Your mother's family however were not thrilled but they did not dare state their disapproval as they feared my wrath.

 

These scrolls are my dying words as I have seen you being born mere seconds ago. I have been battling with another dragon youkai and though it is now dead, I too have sustained several fatal wounds. I have seen you and have sensed the hostilities of the humans. They know I am dying and so does your mother. I ask for your forgivenesss for the life you have led and I hand over half the western lands to you. I have left two swords: one for your brother Tensuiga and for you Testuiga. I know you and your mother must have gone through a lot of hardships and I ask for forgiveness for that. If Izayoui is still alive then please give her my eternal love. I love you son, and I always will. I am very proud of you. And Seshoumaru too. If I had been alive right now, I would be proud of both of you even then. Take care of your mate, you have my blessings and tell Seshoumaru to find himself a mate too. I have a feeling you'll find yours first. Goodbye both my sons.”

 

Inuyasha eyes were glazed. Seshoumaru had come across these scrolls while searching for something and had already heard it, so he shpwed no emotion.

 

“You are not crying are you, little brother?”

 

Inuyasha immediately forgot the slight tears and retorted, “Oh shut up, bastard!”

 

Seshoumaru allowed a small smirk to fall on his lips. “So it seems, little brother, that half the lands are yours now. You finally have something to offer your mate.”

 

Inuyasha blustered, “What game are you playing now Seshoumaru? Why are you acting so nice to me? You hate me, remember? I f you think you can get your fucking hands on my sword that you had better think again!”

 

Seshoumaru shook his head, “I do not desire your sword any longer, Inuyasha. What use is an object if you can't touch it. Besides, father has made it very clear that the owner of that sword is you.”

 

Inuyasha slowly asked, “Then what do you want?”

 

Seshoumaru leaned back in his chair, “A chance to make amends. You have struggled through life. Now is a chance that you can relax. I have nothing against half-breeds, as it is. But others do. There are demons out there who despise half breeds and will stop at nothing to rid the earth f them. If you take your title as Lord Inuyasha, younger brother of the Lord of the Western Lands, not only you will be protected, but so will your mate and your future pups.”

 

Inuyasha stared at him, “You're fucking serious?”

 

Seshoumaru nodded, “Yes I am.”

 

Inuyasha nodded uncertainly, “O-Okay.”

 

Seshoumaru said, “Can you tell Kagome to come in, now?”

 

Inuyasha got up and was about to do so, when he realized that Seshoumaru had not ordered him but asked him, and somewhere inside of him, he felt contented, though he refused to show it.

 

Opening the door he went outside and saw a worried Kagome sitting by the window sill. Creeping up behind her, he kissed her neck. She jumped startled and turned around. When she saw Inuyasha standing behind her smirking, she got angry.

 

“What the hell were you thinking Inuyasha? I could have fallen down!”

 

Inuyasha just stared at her. Kagome snapped defensively, “What!?”

 

“You just cursed.”

 

“Oh. So?”

 

Inuyasha put his arms around her waist and leant forward nibbling on her ear, “So. I like it. My innocent Kagome curses.”

 

Kagome blushed and swallowed a moan as he continued his ministrations on her ear. Then she pushed him away. “What did Seshoumaru want?”

 

Inuyasha wrapped her in his arms again, “Nothing, just some stuff?”

 

Kagome once again pulled away, because he was trying to distract her.

 

Putting her hands on her hips, she did her best to look threatening.

 

“Inuyasha, what kind of stuff?”

 

Inuyasha sighed. “You're impossible.”

 

He quickly relayed what had happened and by the time he was finished tears were swimming in Kagome's eyes.

 

Worried, Inuyasha lifted her head, holding her chin and asked in an uncertain voice, “Uh, Kagome?”

 

Kagome launched herself at him and cried, “I'm so happy for you.”

 

Inuyasha patted her back awkwardly, “There. There. I'm happy for me too. Come on. The bastard wants to talk to you.”

 

Kagome wiped her eyes and followed him into the study.

 

Seshoumaru who could hear everything going on and had even smelled Kagome's tears was very amused.

 

Kagome sat down in front of his desk and Inuyasha stood behind her, his hand on her shoulder.

 

Kagome started speaking, “You wanted to talk to me?”

 

Seshoumaru nodded gravely. “It seems that since you and the half breed have reconciled, you will obviously leave with him and so stands the matter concerning Rin. I will of course require for her to finish her education, but I will not allow her to travel with you. So it seems that we will have to come to an agreement. After you have found all the shards, you will return to the castle and complete your task.”

 

Kagome nodded dumbly.

 

Seshoumaru stood up. “You may go.”

 

Inuyasha led Kagome out of the study and they returned to their room.

 

Kagome sat down on the bed and Inuyasha sat down behind her and pulled her into his lap.

 

Kagome fiddled with his fingers and asked in an uncertain voice, “Inuyasha?”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Um, you know that I love you.”

 

“Keh.”

 

“And I know that you love me.”

 

“More than you'll ever know.”

 

“So where do we go from here?”

 

A.N: I did it! I did it! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Ahan! Ahan! I completed the chapter! CLIFFHANGER!!!!!
