Chapter Six
Sesshoumaru watched as Inuyasha and Kagome drifted off to sleep, curled around each other. Smiling softly he started to get up, to go check on the others, but was stopped when he felt his brother's grip on his fur tighten. 'All right brother,' he thought to himself, ' If that is what you need to feel safe at the moment, I'll leave it to you.'
Sesshoumaru unwrapped his Mokomoko-Sama, form around his shoulders, and draped it around his little brother, like a blanket, and left the room. He was stopped once more before he could completely close the door.
“Uncle?” Came a whispered voice from inside the room.
“You should be asleep little one.” Came the tender reply.
“Yes I know. But I really need to clean up again. I don't want to get blood all over my bed, and the pain is starting to get worse. Can you help me convince Inuyasha to let me go, or at least loosen his grip so I can slip out.?”
Nodding his head, Sesshoumaru went back into the room and lowered himself to his knees. Leaning over he started to growl quietly his Inuyasha's ear. Ever so slowly, whatever Sesshoumaru was telling Inuyasha started to set in, and Inuyasha's grip relaxed enough for Kagome to gently move his arm from around her waist.
Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around Kagome and carefully lifted her off the bed and set her gently onto the desk chair. Turning back to the bed, Sesshoumaru tucked the blankets more securely around Inuyasha.
“The last time I saw Inuyasha this relaxed he was also asleep in my bed. I had come home to study, and he followed me. After annoying me for most of the night, he finally fell asleep. It was the only time ever fell asleep before me. In fact i don't think he really sleeps that often.” Kagome told Sesshoumaru softly.
“He doesn't sleep often. I've watched over your pack often enough to know.” Came the surprising reply.
“You've watched over us?” She questioned him. “Why?”
“Yes. Usually around the new moon. You've needed the extra protection on those nights. By being near, my presence was enough to insure that no one attacked you. I've also made sure to nearby in case of trouble after some of your larger battles.”
Sesshoumaru picked up the shocked girl and carried her to the bathroom. Running the water into the bathtub, while he thought about what reason, if any, he should give for his actions of the past.
“Kagome, no matter what, Inuyasha was, is, and will always be my brother. After his mother was killed, I searched for him everywhere. Even when I was told that he was dead, I never gave up, I knew that he was alive. It took me years, but I finally found him. And when I did, I found out that he didn't remember me. Or rather he didn't remember anything about me.”
Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru did his best to control the tears that threatened to fall. She leaned forward from where she was sitting and turned off the water. Then she pulled Sesshoumaru to cradle against her, as he grieved for the brother that he lost all those long years ago.
“All that he remembered was that I was his brother. Nothing else. He didn't remember that it was I he ran to as a pup when he was in trouble, or hurt, or scared. Or just because he wanted to be near me.” Taking a deep breath and pulled away from Kagome. “One of my favorite memories is when he fell asleep in a tree, before nightfall. Only to find that he had turned human while still at the top of the tree. He's cries for help brought our parents and myself running. Father got him down and handed him to mother. He stayed with her only because her grip was to strong to break. As soon as she loosened her hold, he launched out of her arms and into mine. The only way I could leave him alone for the rest of the night, was if i left him my Mokomoko-Sama. He knew that as long as he had hold of that, then I would always return to his side.” Smiling softly Sesshoumaru reached up and touched his shoulder, “It seems I lost it to him again.”
“You called her your mother also. Why?” Kagome asked with a frown.
“Izayoi was a wonderful woman. It didn't take long for me to love her like my own mother. When I found out that she was dead, I wanted to die. When I heard that Inuyasha died with her, I almost did.”
“You where told that Inuyasha was dead?”
“His grandfather told me that Izayoi and Inuyasha where attacked. And that help didn't arrive in time to save either of them. I found out a few months before that Miko sealed him to Goshinboku, that he was alive. When I went to see him, he attacked me. I didn't know why. When I found out what happened to him, i knew that i lost any chance of getting my brother back. If that thing had not died at the same time, i would have torn her apart. When I first saw you, i was sure it was her. And that's why i tried to kill you.
“He thought the same thing at first. The reason he wears the rosary is because he tried to kill me.”
“That explains that mystery. But tell me why does he still wear it?”
“That believe it or not, is by his own choice. He won't let me remove it. He wants me to use it against him in order to protect myself, just in case his bayou blood takes control again.”
Nodding his head in understanding, Sesshoumaru said. “I think you're good for him. You're actually forcing him to think about other things, and how what he does affects those around him.” Looking at Kagome he asked. “Did you need help cleaning up?
“No Uncle. I'm fine.” Kagome said with a smile
Closing the door to the bathroom, Sesshoumaru moved silently down the hall so he would not disturb his brother. Making his way downstairs, he ran into Ayame, as she went up to check on Mina. Whispering to her to be as quite as possible, he made his way back to the kitchen.
“What happened to Mina?” Sesshoumaru asked Kouga.
“She went to follow you outside to check on Kagome and Inuyasha. She only made it a few feet before what you said hit her and she collapsed.” Kouga told him with a sigh.
Looking back at where Sesshoumaru was leaning against the counter, Kouga poured another cup of tea, and handed it to him. “How is Kagome. I presume that Inuyasha took her out to comfort her.” Kouga asked.
Nodding his head in thanks for the tea, Sesshoumaru replied. “Kagome is fine. Inuyasha on the other hand is not.”
“What's his problem? For the amount of times Kagome has been near death, I didn't think that the news that she had died would bother him so much.” Kouga said.
“I do believe that I shocked my little brother when he found out that i actually cared for him.” Sesshoumaru answered with a smile.
“Ah” Was the only thing that Kouga could think to say.
