Chapter Two: Sesshomaru

 

                It was close to dawn by the time Sesshomaru found Kagome’s body. His golden eyes took in the sight of her mangled body there was no other way to describe it. There were gashes on her head and her face had been slightly smashed in from where her body had been thrown up against the rocks. It appeared that both legs were broken and the bone was sticking out of the right leg. He could see that several of the gashes and especially the claw marks were still bleeding. ‘Pathetic’ Sesshomaru thought as he wrapped his hand around his sword. He could feel it pulsing like it had all night practically screaming at him what it wished for him to do.  It had been pulsing all night ever since his blasted vision, the sword had been leading him to her.

                To say the least Sesshomaru was annoyed it was and emotion that he knew very well at this point it was the one he was most familiar with that and anger. However right now he was just annoyed that he had been drug into this whole mess. He didn’t have the time to be babysitting some wench however according to the vision he had no choice. Resisting the urge to growl Sesshomaru drew his sword and with one swing sliced through the creatures of the nether world. He watched as the most sever of Kagome’s wounds healed while the less sever remained. ‘She must have been more damaged then I thought if Tenseiga couldn’t heal her right away. What a troublesome girl now I will have to carry her.’

                “Kill me pleas.” It was faint but the girl was awake. Sesshomaru’s golden eyes met her deep blue ones and he could see the pain that she was in. It was another emotion that he knew well he had seen and caused enough of it to know what it was.

                “This Sesshomaru can not kill you.” It was the Kami who had decided her fate and he would do as they asked. Sesshomaru had no interest in risking their wrath.

                “Please Sesshomaru have mercy on me.” Kagome begged him and he could hear the pleading in her voice and Sesshomaru felt the same small flash of emotion that he felt the day he saved Rin. Pity yes Sesshomaru actually pitied the woman in front of him.

                “This Sesshomaru can not kill you.” Was all he could repeat and he watched as the tears began to fall out of her eyes. That was when Sesshomaru decided to do the only merciful thing he could at this point. In a flash and before Kagome could say anything else Sesshomaru knocked her out. ‘This woman will be more trouble than she is worth in the end.’ That was Sesshomaru’s last thought before tossing the wench over his shoulder and taking to the air.

                It was a long flight back to his castle hidden deep within the mountain ranges of the west. He had sent Rin and Jaken back before him to let the castle know that he was returning. He had not been to his home from the time the first snow melted away and travel was possible again.  Oh how he hated for his time away to be interrupted by such things like this. Sesshomaru let a small growl escape his lips as the began to think of the events that had brought him to this moment.

                Sesshomaru had just finished killing a large daemon who had wondered to close to his camp for comfort. The daemon was a large pest and Sesshomaru had quickly put him in his place.  It was as he turned to make his way back to his ward that he felt his body freeze and a light to bright for even him to look into flashed in front of him. Sesshomaru knew what was happening it had happened to him shortly once before InuYasha has been released from the tree it was his father asking him to look after a human woman. Saying that the Kami had demanded it and if he did not listen tragedy would befall him. He at that time had chosen not to listen and shortly after had lost his left arm. He had just gotten his left arm back he didn’t want to tempt fate a second time.

                “Sesshomaru my son you look well.” Sesshomaru knew the voice of his father well. He would know it anywhere so before the light even faded he knew his father would be standing there.

                “The afterlife has been good to you father. Tell me why is it you have not been reincarnated yet or are you having too much fun with that human wench you took to bed with you?” Sesshomaru couldn’t help that he was still angry with his father for a lot of things.

                “Sesshomaru my love life is not what I came here to discuss.” His father crossed his arms over his browed chest as golden eyes met golden eyes. “I have another message from the Kami.” He stated firmly.

                “Another message from the Kami. This Sesshomaru is not their attack dog for them to order as they please.” Sesshomaru could have rolled his eyes. This was always how they started, he had these visions from the time he was a little boy only before his father it was his grandmother that would come to him. He had a gift she called it he was a chosen few with great power mint to change the world. For a long time he completed ever mission that they asked of him, but after InuYasha was born Sesshomaru had lost all faith in the Kami and their ways.

                “Sesshomaru this is one that you can not ignore! No matter if you believe in the ways of the Kami or not!” Sesshomaru knew that he was making his father angry at this point, making the old dog boil was something that Sesshomaru had gotten good at in his younger days.

                “If this Sesshomaru chooses to ignore what you have to say then this Sesshomaru will.” Sesshomaru heard his father growl.

                “You foolish pup! You ignored the Kami’s warning the last time too and you know what happened then! You lost your arm and you had to earn it back.” The frustration was clear on his father’s face. “The message I carry can be the difference of if everyone including you lives for dies at the hands of Naraku.”  Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the sound of that name. Oh how he hated that half daemon. He had been a pest from the moment Sesshomaru had meet him and Sesshomaru would have his head if it was the last thing he ever did.

                “This Sesshomaru is listing.” When it came to Naraku Sesshomaru was willing to hear anything any one had to say. If he believed it or not was another matter.

                “My proud foolish son. All you ever care about is revenge. Where did I go so wrong with you?” His father asked him as he shook his head in disappointment.

“You made me this way father when you broke your oath to my mother. Inu’s mate for life and you had to go bed that human bitch!” Sesshomaru growled out through clenched teeth. “Now what is this message you were sent to deliver?” Sesshomaru’s patients was wearing thin at this point.

“The message is this. You are to right the wrong you created when you did not go to the girl as the Kami asked the first time. It is time for you to fix the events that you set into motion by ignoring them. So much pain and suffering could have been avoided if you had only listened.” His father shook his head again and took in a deep breath as he prepared to continue. “The girl Kagome who was under your brother’s protection is now dead and with her the last hope of defeating Naraku. You must go to her and bring her back to life.”

“Is this all that I have to do father? It seems like such a pointless task the girl will only be killed a second time she is human and is weak.” Sesshomaru scoffed at his father. What kind of power could a mere human poses that was able to kill Naraku it just wasn’t possible?

“Sesshomaru once again you let your pride get in the way of seeing the power the girl holds; however, she will not be human once she is brought back. She will slowly become a daemon the Kami have already made up their minds that this is the best course of action. In her current condition she is too week to fight. Her body must be made stronger.” Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at this. It was odd that the Kami were interfering in this girl’s fate when they mostly sat back and watched.

“I suppose I am to teach her how to use her demon form as well?” Sesshomaru stated more then asked. It was after all obvious why would the Kami go through the trouble of bringing her back just for her to fumble around like a new born pup, they wouldn’t.

“You are as perceptive as always my son yes you are to be her teacher. Show her our ways and when you feel she is ready take her to see the witch of the west. The witch will be able to help in ways that you will not. Most importantly though you must keep her away from InuYasha. If you don’t there will be an unnecessary blood bath.” Sesshomaru glared at his father. This had to be the worst task they had ever asked of him.

“And why is it I have to be this girl’s teacher why can InuYasha not simply be the one to show her our ways. After all, from what this Sesshomaru as observed they are in that foolish emotion humans call love.” Sesshomaru couldn’t see the point in all of this.

“It was InuYasha who killed her.” The statement was simple but it hit home with Sesshomaru. So the half breed had finally stooped to a new low. He killed one of his pack in cold blood for no reason. In pack law that was the most unforgivable crime.

“I will do it father but only because InuYasha has committed a great crime. One such as I does not need a little girl to take down Naraku.” Sesshomaru stated bluntly as he saw the smile grace his father’s lips.

“That’s my boy hard headed as always.” His father smiled flashing his fangs at him as he started to fade away. “Just one more thing Sesshomaru allow InuYasha to think the girl is dead. She will be safer that way. Oh and she must find a mate before the final battle with Naraku.” Those were the last words Sesshomaru heard from his father as he faded back to the afterlife where he was no doubt laughing at him.

 

Sesshomaru growled in irritation as he looked down at the girl in his arms again. The moonlight shining off of her pale skin she did look beautiful although Sesshomaru would admit to no one that he thought of her in such a way. It was beneath him to even allow the thought to cross his mind. Sesshomaru could see his castle in view now and the thought faded from his mind as he landed into the court yard.
