Summary: Never underestimate the stubbornness of a woman
He stared up at his brother. His hands were fisted with the blood flowing from the palms. Youki
swirled him around like a cyclone. He was the eye of the storm. Yet he had to summon all his
strength to keep himself under control.
" I am here to see my mate and my daughter."
" You are not welcome here. The Western Shiro is my house and I will decide who enters and
leaves its walls. My mate will stay at the Western Shiro. as long as I see fit. Since Kagome
brought Kibou with her, she must have felt that your protection was inadequate for her safety
who am I to argue with my mate?"
" I need to see her. She collapsed right before you left."
" Kagome is fine. You are not allowed to see her. It is your fault that she was injured. She is not
going back to that village. I will not risk her life on your inadequate protection. She will stay here
protected from humans and youkai who would harm her. Most of all she will be protected from
you."
"How dare you imply that I would allow Kagome to come to harm."
" I saw the scars on her arm when you clawed her. How can you guarantee that you will never
transform like again"
" She has always been able to bring me back. It was the smell of her blood that brought me back
inside of Naraku."
" She will never bleed because of you again."
"As I recall you buried her in a pile of dokkasou the first time we met."
" I did not know her then."
"No, you waited until she became my wife to change your feelings toward her."
"As I recall she approached me. She was like a tiger in her lovemaking. Eager and avid.
Obviously you were not enough to satisfy her. She turned to a real man. She stayed with you out
of pity."
Inuyasha was stunned into silence. All his feelings of inadequacy came back to him. Could
Sesshoumaru be correct? Could Kagome only be staying with him out of pity? He had to know.
Sesshoumaru smirked. He had won this round. The gate slammed in the hanyou's face. He knew
that Tessaiga could bring it down, but the wound he had just inflicted was more telling. Inuyasha
might not leave so long as Kagome was here, but he would not be giving him any trouble
Sesshoumaru walked through the courtyard feeling pleased with himself. He had defeated his
brother without ever drawing his sword. No casualties on either side and most of all no need to
tell Kagome that Inuyasha was here. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he never noticed
his mother standing by his office waiting for him.
"What did Inuyasha want?"
" He wanted to see Kagome. I sent him on his way."
"Why is he still there?"
"Am I responsible for every beggar who sits outside of my gates?"
She shook her head. The two of them were the most stubborn people she had ever met. A smile
crossed her face. The idea of Inuyasha sitting outside of the gate through sun, rain and snow
amused her. He would not assault the castle, but it was clear that he was preparing to lay siege.
She alighted outside the walls and approached Inuyasha.
"So are you going to stay out here forever? He is not going to let you to see either of them, you
know."
" I am not going away. I came here to visit my daughter and my mate and I am not leaving until I
do, I have to know that they are ok and that they will come back to me."
"It is not your fault she was injured, you know. There is no way that you can protect your mate
from every enemy. I know that better than anyone."
He could feel her pain which she said those words. Reaching out to her, he embraced her and
held her until all of her pain ebbed away. She looked up at him and smiled.
" I knew that you would understand more than anyone how it feels to be separated from your
mate. Does the pain ever go away?"
"No, it does not. It will be with me until I die. I just too stubborn to let my pain keep me from
living my life. Your father would not want me to sit around moping because he died. I am sure
that he would tell you to get off your ass and go back and protect those humans of yours"
" But what about Kagome and Kibou? I cannot just let Sesshoumaru take them from me. I need
to fight for what is mine."
"Right now, little one, you need to learn patience. The human in you makes you believe that
everything has to be done now. Your youkai blood is hot. True youkai have the blood of ice.
We know that if we are stubborn enough that we will defeat our opponents."
"But this is Sesshoumaru we are talking about. He is the stubborn person. I have ever met."
" I am surprised that you have so little faith in me, Inuyasha. I raised Sesshoumaru. I taught him
everything he knows. You and Sesshoumaru may think that you are stubborn but neither of you
can hold a candle to me? How do you think we put up with carrying you until we go through
excruciating pain just to give birth to you? By the time I am through with him, he will be
begging me to let Kagome and Kibou go home to you. Just let me do my magic and trust me."
