Dear brother

Chapter 14

 

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. As usual.

 

A/n:

 

Sorry for the long updates, I just had a long period of “Blah” where I couldn't write. I was burned out. Still am. So, if this chapter goes well, I'll end the chapter here to work on: “The Sun and the Moon“. Right now I just have too much on my hands, thus I've cut back.

 

Chapter 14: Vengeance

 

Kouga wandered back to the gardens where he had left InuYasha. He had found out that no one had moved the body; they had been waiting for InuYasha to say his last farewells before they took the body to be embalmed and to be prepared for the funeral ahead. When he had told them it was never touched, he immediately went back to investigate. Kouga wanted to know what had happened. Did something take InuYasha's body or did it just get up and walk off?

 

Coming into the gardens, Kouga noticed that InuYasha wasn't where he had been left. Frowning, Kouga looked through the bushes seeing if he had crawled off. “InuYasha? Where did you go?” he called. “I'm back!”

 

There was no reply from his absent friend. Now there was no sign of his body, and nor was there any sign of his friend. “Well damn it…” Kouga muttered and began sniffing around for his friend's scent. What he noticed first was the strange scent wafting on the air. InuYasha's scent was all over. However, there was more then one scent. The other was a strange scent, but at the same time so familiar to him. To Kouga, it smelled of Sesshomaru and the poison of a spider. “What…? What's going on now?” The okami took a deep breath again and began following the stronger scents of InuYasha that mixed with the other ones. It led him out of the garden and out into the hall.

 

Something clicked in Kouga's mind. It had already dawned on him that InuYasha had been taken by someone. Perhaps it was the same person that had taken Sesshomaru's body.

 

Kouga couldn't see why anyone would even want to have a corpse. Picking up his pace he growled in frustration, and then drew in a deep breath of air; scenting that mysterious smell that had been in the mix. “Smells so much like… Miasma, and …” Kouga's heart pounded rapidly as it finally came clear to him. “NO! That can't be true! He's dead! They made sure of it. How the hell had he made it back!?”

 

Kouga raced all the way out of the castle ignoring the guards who glared at him as he took of running towards the forest where the scents seemed to be leading. The thick forest was marked as “Dangerous” with wild beasts and no one would think of going there. It made sense to Kouga that the hanyou responsible for taking his friend and the corpse of his brother. It disturbed the wolf demon as to what he might find. He was afraid for InuYasha; who was helpless in his condition.

 

Dodging in and out of the thick brush and in and out of the trees to the best that he could, as he grew closer, the scent changed. He could smell fear, pain, hurt, lust and most shocking of all: blood, tons of blood; InuYasha's blood. Ripping through the many vines he got deeper and deeper; he knew he was getting closer because the smell was getting a lot stronger.

 

It wasn't long at all before he came to a dead stop. He could see something. It was a figure tall and covered in blood. Kouga didn't make a sound as he stared harder at whom was. The figure was light haired and in a white kimono. It was a tall man from what Kouga could see in the dim light was a tall man. The man was leaning over the body, he kicked it a few times and began laughing malevolently; sending chills down the wolf demon's spine. This made Kouga want to see who it was and whom the man had killed.

 

Everything in Kouga's mind screamed at him to get out, yet at the same time it also screamed to stay though he was a bit afraid of finding out whom it was.

 

“It is done…” the male said, voice cold. “The western lands will be mine; no one will stop me now. Not even you, InuYasha!” He began laughing, his head tossed back showing Kouga the face of a dead man. That man was Sesshomaru.

 

His jaw dropped in horror. `How can he be alive!?' Kouga thought. He wanted to move over to the demon and kill the bastard for what he had done. A million thoughts raced through his mind as his eyes fell to the naked and broken body of InuYasha, laying still and covered in blood. This made Kouga's mind howl and scream. He forced himself to hold back; Kouga needed to hold back and observe. There had to be something wrong with Sesshomaru. `There is no way that Sesshomaru would do this to his brother! Absolutely no way! Why is he even alive? Did the sword finally work?'

 

“No more will Sesshomaru or InuYasha get in my way for power and respect. Soon I'll have them all bowing before me, all of them will beg for their lives,” Sesshomaru laughed and knelt down, running his hands over the cool blood covering InuYasha's neck. He brought his stained hand to his mouth where he lapped at the blood. “Isn't that right, InuYasha? Oh, wait, you're dead. You can't hear me.”

 

That was it. Kouga couldn't take it much longer. He needed to do something. Stepping forwards out of the thicket, he growled; “Who are you, and what the fuck have you done to InuYasha? You are a fucking bastard!”

 

Sesshomaru turned to confront Kouga. He wasn't surprised to see him. In fact, he had expected someone to return to find InuYasha gone. Of course, they would go look for him. Sesshomaru just didn't think it'd be so soon. For the first time, Sesshomaru could smell the anger and hatred towards him and what he had done to InuYasha. “So you've come,” he said calmly, facing Kouga, covered in InuYasha's blood. “It seems I must kill you too…”

He couldn't feel the burning pain. It had ceased and now his body felt so weightless. So carefree; one moment his heart and body was being stabbed with a million knives, the next moment there was no pain. It was in that moment he knew he had died. InuYasha hadn't heard Kouga come to his aid moments too late. Now he didn't know that it would be the beginning of his end.

 

The first thing he noticed when he opened his eyes was the complete darkness, the second was the light beckoning him to follow. InuYasha already knew where this was leading too. It made him excited. If he was thinking correctly, it would lead him straight home to his Sesshomaru. “All dogs go to heaven right?” InuYasha asked himself, remembering a time that Kagome had brought him back to her era and showed him a few movies on TV. Now that InuYasha thought about it, he hoped that he would be seeing Sesshomaru there.

 

“Sesshomaru…” he said quietly as he approached the light; no figures were waiting for him as every other story foretold. Didn't they know that he was coming? Wasn't his father, mother or Sesshomaru there? Of course, his mother had to be there… unless something was totally wrong… `Maybe there are different heavens?' InuYasha told himself.

 

Reaching the white and blinding light, InuYasha shielded his eyes and stood there listening. He was unsure of where to go now. He couldn't even see anything. The hanyou hoped that this wouldn't be the eternity not described.

 

“Hello!?” he called out. “Can anyone hear me?” InuYasha's voice echoed out into the vast distance. The only reply was the echoing of his voice. This made him feel lonelier now then ever.

 

 

#_#_#_#

 

 

“Hello!? . . . Can anyone hear me?”

 

Sesshomaru's ears perked up at the sounds of his brother's voice they seemed too close for comfort. His skin got goosebumps with the proximity. It wasn't the distant voice that had taunted him from afar minutes ago. They had only been talking about the sword that might be tainted; the sword that would give him the chance of living again.

 

His face paled as he turned to InuTaisho. “That's InuYasha…” Sesshomaru said, standing up. “What is he doing here?”

 

InuTaisho looked just as surprised to hear the voice calling to them. He had only started to feel a pull towards the gates of the afterlife moments before. It signified that there was a family member or friend waiting for their greeting. InuTaisho had ignored it. Now if he had been living, his heart would have been pounding in the back of his throat. “I don't know, Sesshomaru,” InuTaisho said as he stood as well, immediately moved around his eldest and started to the entrance that didn't take long to reach at all.

 

Sesshomaru was shortly behind his father. He almost dreaded seeing his brother now. It scared him to know that his brother was dead. How, though?

 

InuTaisho's heart dropped, seeing InuYasha standing there looking lonesome. His clothes were torn and his body was exposed but otherwise unblemished? It was because all of the wounds healed when you reached the afterlife. All of their fears had come true now. There might be no hope for either of his sons' return to the living world. Their land would be corrupted.

 

This was so very wrong. Neither of his sons should be standing at his side. “Another unplanned death… Welcome to the afterlife, InuYasha,” InuTaisho greeted him.

 

_#_#_#_#

 

 

“Another unplanned death… Welcome to the afterlife, InuYasha,” a deep, calm voice greeted him. It sounded so familiar. A voice he had known once long ago. InuYasha turned around and opened his eyes to the bright light that assaulted him. This time it looked like it was diminishing. He could see the silhouette of two figures.

 

“Father…? Sesshomaru...?” InuYasha was in awe and in shock. In a sense, he still was unable to fathom that they were all dead. It was scary but a relief now that he knew that they were all together. Yet it angered him because their plans had been shattered.

 

“Yes, it's us,” InuTaisho answered as Sesshomaru saw InuYasha, his eyes going wide. He pushed past his father. “You're dead of course…” InuTaisho paused as a thought of how his son died entered his mind. He closed his eyes and sighed.

 

Sesshomaru gathered InuYasha into his arms embracing him in a death hold. “InuYasha,” he breathed, kissing him tightly. His heart was breaking knowing now that he was dead and that his brother had followed him. “What happened?”

 

InuYasha hugged Sesshomaru unable to come to the reality of what really happened. He was quiet for a long time as he held onto Sesshomaru as hard as he could. What happened played over and over in his head. Laying there being raped; willingly. Having his throat ripped out and staring into the cold eyes of Sesshomaru's possessed body. “It's hard to talk about,” InuYasha said, looking up into Sesshomaru's eyes. There was no cold harshness to them. Only warmth and love filled those golden orbs.

 

“Perhaps we should go to the gardens and talk about this. This isn't the place to speak. C'mon,” InuTaisho said, leading his sons back to the gardens where they had been before they were distracted. Now that InuYasha was there, maybe there would be more answers to what had happened.

 

InuYasha and Sesshomaru nodded, following their father back. It seemed a quiet and tense silence as InuYasha had still been thinking. `How could I been so fooled? Of course Sesshomaru was dead. There was no way I could even bring him back. I'm so weak. I can't even use his sword,' InuYasha thought as he was pushed back so he would sit on the stone bench. Being drawn out of his thoughts he looked at InuTaisho who just smiled at him with sad eyes. It looked like he was disappointed that he had to see him so soon.

 

“So, can you tell us what happened?” InuYasha's father asked.

 

Sesshomaru pulled InuYasha into his lap protectively. InuYasha felt much safer being in the embrace of both arms. “It all just happened so fast. I had been in the courtyard and Sesshomaru's body was gone. Kouga had gone to see if they already started the funeral. I didn't think about it when I heard some rustling in the bushes. Nor did I even question as Sesshomaru's stiff body came out so welcomingly. . . I just thought that maybe the sword had worked. It had only taken a little longer to wake the dead.”

 

“Waking someone with the Tensiaga is instant. It wouldn't take hours,” Sesshomaru said calmly.

 

Furrowing his brows, he realized he should have figured that out. “Yeah, I might have thought that too.” InuYasha gave a long sigh of exhaustion before continuing on. “Yes… Well as stupid as I was, the Sesshomaru led me out to the forest and fed me lies and poison. Some of the things he did and said to me made me suspicious at first. But it was hard to know if it was really him or not. I mean Sesshomaru used to be so cold to me before too and said nasty words before this forgiveness.”

 

Sesshomaru had come a long way in a single step for forgiving InuYasha … Or rather letting him into his heart. Now it seemed like Naraku messed with his plans again. “I've changed a lot. I don't think I can do that anymore, to go back to the same lonesome life I lived without you,” Sesshomaru replied.

 

“Yes, well… It seems like it had been Naraku who had done this to me; to us. Before he killed me after raping me… he just gave himself away with those eyes,” InuYasha shuddered. As much as he feared him he wanted to rip him apart for what he had done to him. He hoped that sometime soon that vengeance would be possible. “But now I am here. Is there any way of returning?”

 

There was a long moment while InuTaisho was thinking. It was possible to return, however, it would be a risky thing to send them back to their bodies. They could be returned to where they were when they were dying. Or they could be completely healed. But that was something that would be lucky to happen.

 

“It is possible. We had been discussing such when we were disrupted by your coming. I am thinking that if I could I would send you back. But I'm concerned that you may never return here or you'll return back to the condition that you were when you died. Sesshomaru, you might be better off going back,” InuTaisho said honestly. He would be better off because the western lands needed a ruler; with InuYasha gone it would turn to chaos. If InuYasha went back no one would take him seriously. “If you had gone back InuYasha, and your body was in the state it is when you died, you wouldn't last for long.”

 

InuYasha couldn't imagine going back to that state. It was the worse pain in his life. And the last pain he had felt. “I know. I don't want to feel that again.”

 

Sesshomaru wouldn't have wanted his mate-to-be go through that again. “Yes. . . I agree, but what can we do about my body which is in the possession of Naraku?”

 

Rubbing his chin, InuTaisho nodded thoughtfully. “Yes, well I think if you can push him out of your rightful body it'll be yours. I think that the reason for him taking over it was because you were alive and your soul was still in it.”

 

If something could knock Naraku out they'd be set. And if Sesshomaru went back, he could repair the damage done to InuYasha. Then he could return as well. It could be a flawless plan.

 

“Where is he now..?” InuYasha asked, wondering what Naraku would be doing with his body now that the problems that were standing in the way were eliminated. “Can we see what is going on?” InuYasha was wondering what would happen with Kouga and the others. He never got to say good-bye. He didn't even know if they would be looking for him.

 

“Certainly,” their father said as he led them over to a large fountain with a koi fish decoration along with some fish swimming around in the clear water. As soon as they were over there, the water rippled and images formed. It was something that they were looking at as if from close by but not seen by others. . .

Claws extended, the Sesshomaru imposter lunged at Kouga. The okami had just enough time to dodge and duck away. He was slightly confused as to why Sesshomaru was doing this. But of course he knew from the scene that things were not all well with this Sesshomaru. With a growl, the wolf demon brought out his dagger and began slashing his way towards the man, using speed and agility to avoid the blood covered brother.

“Why are you doing this? Who are you?” he asked as Sesshomaru's claws glowed an eerie green. The poisonous claws also began dripping with poison. They lashed out at him but luckily he dodged the bullet again.

 

“You should know me… We fought together so many times before. I was the person who killed your clan. Remember that?” Naraku laughed and dashed at him. This would be a claw-to-claw match. Well save for the dagger Kouga was using but that wouldn't be for long. Naraku was grateful for such a quick body as he raced alongside Kouga as he began moving.

 

If the corpse had been more alive with the flow of blood or still reproducing cells, it would have been faster. But this would have to do for him. As Kouga took off he raced after him, dodging in and out of the way of the trees. Soon he had lost track of him, making him stop and look around.

 

Kouga had to do something. He needed to stop Naraku. He didn't know how Sesshomaru had gotten back or how it had happened but he knew that something had to be done about this quickly before it got out of hand even more and the problem couldn't be dealt with. Crouching, he crept up on the spider. Approaching Sesshomaru's body he picked up a large rock and snuck up on him. He didn't want to harm the real Sesshomaru but if this could be done to knock him out he could drag him to the castle and lock him up until they figured something out.

 

It was a plan that he hoped that would work.

 

Working from downwind he lunged forwards, breaking out of the trees and hurtled the rock at his head. But it wasn't his luck as Sesshomaru was quick enough to move aside and grin at him mockingly. “What a childish thing that was, wolf,” he laughed and jumped from his spot, and onto Kouga. Pinning Kouga down, he held his claws up, poised to rip out the throat like he had with InuYasha.

 

Just as the wolf thought he'd be next, there was a disturbance in the bushes. There was a bunch of voices. Sesshomaru looked up and relaxed his arm. Whoever it was, it made him nervous. It felt like he had encountered them before.

 

“Over here!” a female voice called.

 

“Damn it! I hope we're not too late!” a male voice called.

 

“I see him!” There was a whoosh and a whistling noise as something struck Sesshomaru hard in the left shoulder. It pushed him back against the trees with the force of it. There was another one that nailed him in the other shoulder, officially pinning him to the tree. It was almost like a cliché with InuYasha.

 

“I got him! That asshole! I could sense him from all the way here! I knew there was something up! I told you!”

 

Kouga looked up as the old gang emerged from the bushes. As soon as he had heard the familiar voice that InuYasha hated so very much, and he loved so much… well to a point… Kagome and the rest of them came running out of the bushes.

 

“Glad we made it,” the slayer said as she came to a stop, seeing Kouga on the ground. The fire neko mewed and sniffed the air. She could smell the blood before she saw Sesshomaru pinned to the tree with an arrow that was pouring magic into his body, making him drowsy.

 

“You humans can't beat me, not like the last time. I'll crush you!” Sesshomaru said, fighting the power of the Miko's arrow that was having the same effect on him as the arrow that had pinned his enemy's brother to the tree for 50 years. If this happened to him there was a good chance he wouldn't be able to possess the body he had now. There might be no way, even if he had waited for it to be released from the tree that pinned him.

 

“Kagome, look! It's InuYasha!” Miroku said suddenly as he spotted InuYasha laying in a bloody mess and lying still. The monk could already tell that he wasn't breathing and that the damage looked too far-gone. “It looks like we're too late.”

 

Kagome ignored Sesshomaru as he continued mumbling a rant before there was silence. She couldn't help but let out a breaking sob as she came down next to him on her knees. His entire body was violated, with blood all over his hair and soaked into the ground. “How could this have happened?” she asked, looking over at Kouga who had gotten up and followed them to the body.

 

The wolf shook his head. “This wasn't supposed to happen… It was Naraku who took over Sesshomaru's corpse and did this to InuYasha. He had been hiding this from you so you wouldn't come after him and take him over for yourself,” Kouga explained, remembering why InuYasha took off toward Sesshomaru in the first place. “His brother sent him a letter asking him to come home. He came, they forgave. But Sesshomaru came up with some kind of poisonous worm in his heart that choked his heart and poisoned him. We suspected Naraku of the whole thing.”

 

“I thought that they hated each other?” the slayer asked, still struck with InuYasha's downfall and Sesshomaru's. This was all like a nightmare that they couldn't wake up from. This wasn't supposed to be!

 

Kouga sighed, shaking his head again. That was what it had seemed like to everyone. Everyone had thought that they hated each other and wanted to do nothing more then fight and spit venomous words at each other until one of their throats were cut. “Well, he had thought that it'd be best to put the past behind them and move on, being the last of their family line as far as we know. They wanted to get together and make further generations. But I really can't be sure of the true motives.”

 

The monk that was kneeling over InuYasha's corpse saying a prayer for him, looked up with sad eyes. “I take it from what I think Kagome said that you came looking for us when you had to get Sesshomaru to the vet for the heartworm?”

 

“Yes, we thought that'd help but it was too late and he didn't make it.” Now everything was lost with both dog demons dead. “I think we should bring his body back to the castle and clean his body up so we can bury him. I don't know if we should release the arrow from his body or not. If Naraku is possessing him I don't want to have to fight him again,” the wolf demon said. “If the real Sesshomaru is really in there, I don't want to harm him.”

 

Sango nodded in agreement. Somehow they would need to get Sesshomaru's body out of Naraku`s possession. Maybe then they could save him somehow. For now they needed to clean InuYasha. The castle workers would be alerted later to what had happened. “I suppose we need to do this secretly. Letting them know of their Lord's death will cause an uprising for domination for the land. I can take him on Kirara with Miroku. Kagome, you can get a ride on Kouga.”

 

Kouga had no issue with this. He picked InuYasha's cold body up and handed it to the slayer and the Monk, who took his body in between them. “Are we leaving him there, right? Until we figure out what to do with the body, he should stay there?” Kouga asked to confirm the plan as he picked Kagome up in his arms. The wolf demon could tell everyone was in shock still from what had happened. No one was crying. No one could believe what was happening. He knew that everything. Everything that had happened was going to sink in eventually. Like everything else..

 

#_#_#_#_#

 

As the scene unfolded, Sesshomaru looked up at his father with an idea now. He saw what Naraku did to his brother. As a result, he was upset and very angry. He was angry mostly at himself for getting killed; for being weak and dying. He was also relieved that the Miko was able to pin his possessed body to the tree. Now he might have a chance to enter his body again. “Say father… Do you think I have a chance now? To enter my body again now that Naraku has been suppressed?” Sesshomaru asked curiously, hoping now to get back in his body and save his mate from an eternity of being dead.

 

For regardless of how much they loved their father, they had only so little time on Earth and forever in death to get to know one another. “Yes, and maybe if you go down there you can use Tensiaga to revive me!” InuYasha said brightly, ears perked.

 

“This sounds like a plan. Let`s hope it goes easily,” InuTaisho said, nodding. “I do believe this could work. Let's be prepared and watch for your chance.”

 

 

 

 

A/n: OMFG! I FUCKING FINISHED THE CHAPTER! Yeah I know it's been… 6 months? Since I updated, right? Something like that. I've been busy. Working, getting fired, working, fired, family issues and my cat being given away and then my other cat dying on my birthday and now I'm here!
