My Past, My Future, My Love

By Miztikal_Dragon


Chapter Four:


I hadn’t been running long, but I was already winded like there was no tomorrow. Exhaustion was settling in my body and I knew that I wouldn’t have much longer. I could plainly hear the howling of the wolves as they chased me, they weren’t too far behind me. As I ran it seemed as if the forest would never end, like those dreams where I am running constantly after an image that never gets any closer. That is what it felt like as I tried to save myself, but the odds were against me, they always had been and probably always will be.


My breathing was heavy, and my heart pounded erratically in my throat, they were gaining on me and there was nothing that I could do to stop them. I wanted to cry, but I had done enough of that over the years and even though I ran, all I kept thinking about was dying. I mean, if I let them kill me I could be with my family once again, I could be at rest, but then again that very thought made me sick to my stomach. How could I ever think like that? My parents would have been disgusted with me, Sei would have raised hell; but then again, that was just how they were.


I screamed loudly as the hungry wolves leaped onto my back, they must have grown tired with the cat and mouse routine, and taken the initiative. I would become their dessert. Their sharp teeth dug into my skin and tore at my flesh, it was like a nightmare gone wrong. They surrounded my body, but just as I thought that I would die, a voice came out through the brush, it was Koga’s. I couldn’t quite understand what he said, but whatever it was, the wolves left my body and disappeared into the foliage. They were leaving me here to die.


This feeling that went through my body was something completely different from the other things that I had experienced throughout my short life. I couldn’t understand why they were just leaving, why didn’t they finish me off? My eyes were open and I stared up into the night sky, the moon was barely a sliver in the sky and though it was cold, I was warm. It might have been because my blood was seeping from the large wounds that the wolves made, yet it was a warmth that was inviting and all I wanted to do was sleep.


I knew that I wouldn’t make it to morning, and I counted on that simple fact. This is how it felt to die, to be completely alone and not having anyone to be there with me telling me that it wouldn’t hurt. But it did hurt, my heart ached, and my wounds burned as if they were on fire. This was painful, dying as the blood drained from my body, wondering what demons out there hidden by the trees could smell the scent of my blood and become drawn to it. How long would it be till one of them came to feast upon my flesh like rabid dogs.


And then an image came to my mind and it made me smile despite my hopeless state. He was out there somewhere, probably at the spot she had been four years prior. His long silver hair, his cold amber eyes and broad shoulders looking like he had always looked, like a god.


“Sesshomaru…”


~~oOo~~


The sun had risen not even an hour before Sesshomaru opened his watchful eyes to glare irritably at the rather small green toad that lay sleeping near the now dead fire. How long had it been since this ward had decided to join the mighty Inu-youkai was debatable and obviously completely unwanted. Rising to his feet, the silver hair Inu-youkai took one last glance around before departing. It would be still three or so more hours before the toad demon woke from his unnecessary slumber and Sesshomaru wanted to clean the stench of the wind sorceress from his person.


Heading towards the cold clear water that would soothe the disgust from his mind, Sesshomaru kept his head up and his emotionless amber eyes on the trail ahead. Over the years he had found himself becoming restless of the constant traveling and he was wearily waiting for something that would serve to bring some excitement to his boring and uneventful life. The trees that surrounded him gave the Inu-youkai the privacy he demanded as he untied his breast plate and dropped it onto the ground. Being near the river brought back memories and Sesshomaru found himself almost daydreaming about the young human girl who had captured his attention more than four years before. But he would deny himself that because the fact of the matter was that he, Sesshomaru was a great Inu-youkai and cared not for pathetic humans. To him, they were completely worthless and all deserved to die.


Slowly pulling off the rest of his clothing, Sesshomaru waded into the cold water unflinching and submerged himself under the pure blue liquid. Coming back up for air a few minutes later, Sesshomaru scrubbed his arms and legs raw trying to get the wind sorceress’ lingering scent removed from his appendages. He understood that there were times that even the most powerful demons such as himself couldn’t control his animalistic urges from lashing out and conquering a teasing temptress, a slut who practically begged for a good fuck.


There was no way that he was in any way admitting that he was weak, but saying that even the best of youkai misjudge their manipulating opponents. However, be assured that Sesshomaru was not a demon who could easily be fooled and we’ll just leave it at the wind youkai had received her just deserts for her actions. Cleaning the blood from his nail like claws, Sesshomaru let out a sigh before finishing his bathing and wading back out of the water.


Dressing himself at a leisurely pace, Sesshomaru found himself thinking about the human girl yet again. If he recalled correctly, which he did, the boy had called her Rin. Growling at himself, Sesshomaru rung out his long locks of silver hair before running his claws gently through it. Appearance was almost everything in the youkai society now a days. Returning to the camp where Jaken was struggling to cook his breakfast and a sleeping two headed dragon called Aun snored softly, Sesshomaru sighed inwardly, he had no luck. Standing a few feet from the still frantic toad, Sesshomaru lifted his foot only to kick the green toad, sending him flying a few feet and hitting a rather large tree. The squawking noises Jaken made annoyed Sesshomaru to no end, but he wouldn’t be around in the incompetent toad for too much longer anyhow.


“Jaken,” Sesshomaru’s cold voice said as he turned away, “You and Aun will head back towards the castle. This Sesshomaru still has things to do.”


“But Lord Sessho---”


The glare Jaken received shut the toad up immediately as he scrambled to the now awake two headed dragon. Without any other words, Sesshomaru was gone and Jaken silently thanked his lucky stars that his master hadn’t decided to chop off the toad’s again only to revive him and repeat the process a few times over.


He faded into the trees as silent as the wind blowing past. The day would be a long one and even if it didn’t seem like it, things needed to be done. The Inu-youkai watched his surroundings as the dead leaves crunched and the twigs broke under his feet. It was fall and someone had told him during one point or another of his life that life begins again in the crisp of the fall. Sure that sounded like a good philosophy, but it usually meant that death would find a way to rear its ugly head somehow. At the moment he truly would pity any person or youkai stupid enough to dare challenge him, but they would only be able to see the emotionless amber eyes he had before they would die. Obviously they didn’t care about their lives all that much if they decided to cross paths with the merciless Inu-youkai.


To anybody else the harmonious sounds of Nature would have been relaxing one’s ears, but to Sesshomaru it didn’t have that kind of effect, or any at all for that matter. Nature was simply something he ignored. It had nothing to do with him at or so there was no real reason for him to pay attention to it. The only thing to him that was comforting was complete silence. Sometimes that very same dead silence was what kept his calm demeanor in place. By habit, he was a cold and very unforgiving youkai and to him it was those qualities that made a powerful leader, a respectable and honorable leader in the youkai race.


As selfish as it may have seemed, Sesshomaru believed that the youkai would be able to stay alive in the prosperity of mankind would be to eliminate all types of humans and hanyou alike. He knew many would die, but to him only the strong were meant to survive. If a youkai couldn’t hold his own and kill their enemies, mainly humans, then they were better off dead because the weak would never live and he’d be sure to see that out.

E/N: Now this is a side of Sesshomaru that I haven't seen, selfish? [shakes head] never! Well I would just like to say a few things so I hope you will bare with me.


1. This is a Sesshomaru/Rin story!


2. I will not and I completely refuse to write anything that has to deal with Sesshomaru/Kagome because that pairing is something I will not ever condsider doing! BLEH!!!


3. Yes, I do understand that there is no Sessy and Rin fluff yet, but come on people she was really young when she first actually met him. I can't see Sesshomaru being a pedophile!


4. Inu Yasha and Kagome are not, I repeat, NOT in this story, sorry folks.


5. There is a reason why Kohaku is in this story in the beginning, but please don't think that this is a Kohaku/Rin story, because it's not...


And that's basically it... Please leave a review at the end and tell me what you think... ^^


Until next time, Krystal.
