InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Enseñame A Olvidar ❯ Wanting ( Chapter 2 )

[Insert Disclaimer Here]
Sesshomaru's POV

I have lost the ningen child I let follow me around. The child I pretended not to care for but the love I harbored for her was one my mother never gave me. She was my child. I had given her life when it was taken from her far too soon. I brought her back only to send her to death's clutches a few years later. There was no reason for me to take part in the battle save my damn pride. My vaulting pride did her in. Now there is another hollow emptiness in me one I cannot comprehend. This pain at losing her made me collect these that I would never associate myself with lest be at the end of my poison claws. His black hair is blown up mingling with mine as he rests. I could see even when he tried to appear strong that he was in great pain though he did hide it well. The human eye wouldn't catch it nor would the eye of a hanyou as Inuyasha proved but he was in pain. I could see.. smell it radiating off of him even now in his sleep. The peaceful expression deceives the pain I feel from him. He has worsened his wounds just to care for my brother and the ningen. That is another question that has been plaguing me who is the boy? I saw him on the battlefield hiding under the disregarded baboon pelt. I saw him when he struck the ebony haired wolf in my arms. I saw him when he fell to his knees crying at the loss of the exterminator. I saw him as Rin tried to run to him. She knew her kind when she saw it but she had never seen a human male cry so was a bit curious. Her kind heart got her killed. As she ran in front of him Naraku apparently mad with his little servant tried to run him through getting Rin instead. How I wished I could actually take her hand as she reached out to me. I tried to bring her back but it seems the Tenseiga only returns life once.

We've arrived at my castle yet they all remain asleep. Now I wish I had someone to help me carry them inside. I manage to bring them inside hating the way their scents overlap that of my solace. They'll have to be awakened and bathed. The ningen is the easiest to awaken for it seems his sleep is no longer induced by pain just simple sadness. He curls himself in the fetal position as if I won't see him that way. I ignore him to try to awaken the other two but for my brother that is a vain effort. He is far into his sleep that I doubt even if the miko came back to life and tried to mate with him he'd awaken. It's an almost death like slumber. Tenseiga is pulsating. So he is dying. Should I save him or should I let him die? It has been my goal to kill him yet for some reason I feel I must revive him. He will die at my hand in battle not like a pathetic human. He should at least die in an honorable way since his entire life has had no honor. The wolf is watching me the whole time as I draw my sword. His eyes go wide afraid that I might kill Inuyasha. He stays back though as I slice through the demons trying to take my brother. His golden eyes flutter open and he looks around a bit confused. He has regained some strength since the more fatal wounds have disappeared but he is still slightly wounded.

"You will all bathe and dress in the kimonos set aside for guests in the bathhouse. Go at once your stench is really irritating me."

"Sorry your highness for contaminating your precious air." As arrogant as ever but it doesn't hold the same attitude.

"Where is the bathhouse?" So the human can do other things besides cower.

"Right this way. I'm in need of a bath too I reek of all of you." They all follow like little puppies as I head to the bathhouse. I stop making the wolf who was admiring the décor bump into me slamming that delicious body into mine. He blushes as I look down at him. I turn to hide the smile that creeps up from the pleasure of being cause of the increase in his body heat. I hear them all gasp as I open the double doors that lead to the bathhouse. This hot spring is part of my property encased as part of my home. Inuyasha is having trouble removing his clothes as one of his arms is still broken. He growls when the wolf tries to help him pushing him away.

"Don't be such a fool brother you need to bathe and you will not step in the spring with your ridiculous garb still on." He lets his arms fall limp to his side one dangling to the wrong direction. Now he might now how inadequate I felt when he cut off my arm. Maybe I should rip his out. No he couldn't pull off the one arm look he already looks so undignified. I'll change that. I'll make them all look more refined that's the way they must be to stay with this, Sesshomaru. The wolf strips the blushing Inuyasha who quickly joins the human in the warm water. They both look a little relieved.

"Inuyasha let me straighten your arm so it can heal quicker." Inuyasha looks like he's going to refuse at first but then raises the arm. The wolf having heard my talk of clothes no bathe sits at the edge of the spring to tend to the hanyou. He cringes as a pop sounds signaling the joint of his elbow has been adjusted. The wolf removes his head band using it to tie around the joint so it'll stay in place. Inuyasha sighs and sinks lower into the water. I'm surprised there is no blood discoloring the water but as I look at the nude wolf I know that will change.

"Is there somewhere I could clean myself off? I don't want to get blood in the water." He's using his tail to keep his decency. I hadn't noticed he had a tail till now he wears so much fur it's impossible to tell where it begins or ends. Now that I see it I've gotten some very wicked ideas.

"Right this way." I am the only one still clothed but that could change. I am leading him to the area I washed all my wounds after battles. I never liked to get blood in the spring either. This is a small water hole the servants frequently clean knowing if youkai blood is left for too long there could be some serious consequences.

"A little privacy please."

"Listen wolf.."

"Kouga. My name is Kouga. Use it or don't speak to me at all. Don't forget you are the dog here." I am stunned to silence. He dares speak to the Lord of the Western Lands so rudely? I knew Inuyasha's friends were dense and seemed to have death wishes but this one beats them all. I pushed him against the wall agitating the slash I had seen across his back. Whatever I was about to say is forgotten as I see the look of pure pain on his face. I feel guilty even though I would never voice that. Even when in pain he looks so beautiful with his lips pursed and his eyes wide tears brimming. Those blue eyes are glowing with tears.

"Kouga I am the Master of this house. I have brought you in as a guest and you will give me the respect I deserve one way or another." I push him harder into the wall but he surprises me by pulling me closer to him. He hugs me tightly as he releases all his anguish. I cried on him now he's crying on me.

"I was a leader too. I lead them straight to death." I rub the back of his head relishing in the feel of his now loose black locks. I had expected his hair to be rough but it's pleasantly soft. His scent is masculine much more than mine and so intoxicating. I have to get out of here before I do something I'll regret. As if he can read my thoughts he looks at me making me want to stay. My eyes go wide as he kisses me almost timidly. I had not expected him to be so forward but it did seem to fit him. I pull away slowly not letting him know whether I enjoyed it or not. I rather not have an audience when I take him. I hear him begin to wash himself off as I join the hanyou and human. The human doesn't look at either of us still seeming to harbor bad feelings for youkai. I don't blame him it was obvious from the garments he wore that he was a youkai exterminator. The youkai must've despised him and his kind. Inuyasha glaring at him could also be one of the reasons why he doesn't face us.

"What's your name ningen?" He jumps obviously shocked that I'm actually addressing him directly. He turns but doesn't meet my gaze.

"Kohaku." If it weren't for my demon hearing I wouldn't have heard him. Inuyasha tackles him down holding him down with one arm.

"Bastard why are you acting like nothing's wrong?! They're fucking dead! Dead! Does that not sink into your thick ass head?! My Kagome is fucking dead because of you! Idiot you couldn't even kill me! You couldn't kill me so I could be with her! Damn you!" He slams the trembling human down as I watch with hidden curiosity. So he had a death wish as well? Didn't we all want to die on that battlefield but someone has to avenge those who did. Someone has to make it so their lives were not forfeit. Kouga has just finished cleaning and bandaging himself. As soon as he sees what's going on he launches himself into the water stopping Inuyasha's abuse of Kohaku. He struggles to keep him back from the boy that has balled himself up. He is once again ignoring his pain from my baka brother. What could cause him to be devoted to that dim wit? The miko. It must've been her she had a way of putting a spell on everyone. She'd distracted me many times as well even in death she mocked me. Ningen ka? I believe not she seemed above that class yet as low as it. I pull the human up making him yelp. His skin is so sensitive a mere tap of my claws caused it to break. I must be so cautious if I hurt either of these two I won't have my way with the wolf. The humans skin seems to have absorbed the lavender scent of the water unlike my brother who reeks of wet animal. But isn't that what he is? I instruct the boy to dress making sure to keep between him and Inuyasha as does the wolf.

"There is something seriously wrong with the two of you to have such petty squabble after Naraku has killed all dear to you. Look at you allying yourselves with ones you would only give a second glance to because of suspicion. Stop being so childish we have a score to settle. We must destroy Naraku after that you may do what you want with your pathetic lives but for now I will train you to be actual fighters. The way you all fought I'm surprised you survived. He let you live out of pity now grow up or I kill you where you stand." All the while my stoic mask did not disappear. They all remained silent then nodded agreeing with my words. I expected as much a bunch of followers. Better this way they can not think with their own feeble minds better I think for them.
