Finding True Love

By Miztikal_Dragon


Chapter Fourteen


There was no need for his sword as he tossed it to the ground. The Inu-youkai knew exactly what he was up against, it was the fighting style that gave it all away. In his mind he was irrational, but he still was trying to hold what remained of his control together.


“This Sesshomaru will not be made a fool of,” Sesshomaru growled as his claws began to glow a bright green.


“You destroyed my body Sesshomaru,” the voice was no longer that of Kohaku’s , but a monotone and angry one. “And I will make sure that you will lose something close to you as punishment.”


Sesshomaru could identify Masao’s voice anywhere and the Inu-youkai knew that his opponent meant Rin would die, but Sesshomaru wouldn’t allow her to leave him, it was completely out of the question. The possessed human was the first to attack, the mini-scythe clutched in his hand, and he was faster than what Sesshomaru had fist believed. Masao was teasing the Inu-youkai and Sesshomaru fell for the oldest trick in the book, he had conceitedly underestimated his opponent.


The scent of his blood became noticeable right after Masao used Kohaku’s body to attack. The small scythe had made a good gash on Sesshomaru’s chest, but the Inu-youkai wasn’t worried, he would heal quickly and there wouldn’t even be a scar to remember. Narrowing his eyes as his wound turned a green color, Sesshomaru could hear Masao’s cackling. The Inu-youkai had misjudged another attack and now it could be a fatal one.


“you have become pathetic Sesshomaru,” Masao said becoming completely serious. “This human girl has made you weak and look where it was gotten you! You’re wounded and now there’s a deadly poison coursing throughout your blood stream.”


“Nothing could ever make this Sesshomaru weak,” Sesshomaru said as his eyes glanced around.


Sango and the monk had carefully taken Rin away from the battlefield and Sesshomaru was thankful. Now he could fight without concerning himself about Rin’s body being in the way. The Inu-youkai let his face become emotionless as he watched the possessed boy, he was waiting for Sesshomaru’s next move and who was he to disappoint. Unsheathing his other sword, Sesshomaru eyed Kohaku, he would have to keep his guard up and he only knew one way that would give him enough power to get rid of Masao for good.


The air around the two males suddenly became thicker than fog and it proved to the possessed human body that it was harder to breathe. Sesshomaru let a smirk purse his lips as his eyes bled red and a light surrounded him, he was resorting to his true demon form. Sesshomaru’s body grew larger as he began to take the form of an enormous dog and as if on cue, Kohaku attacked with the scythe. The Inu-youkai was ready for the attack and just as Kohaku tried to bring the scythe down on Sesshomaru, the large dog demon disappeared from view. Everything around the possessed human seemed surreal until the blood red eyes opened from the blackness of the forest, his jaws gleaming in the light looking as if he was smiling evilly. At the moment it was Sesshomaru that looked like the bad guy.


“Hiding now are you Sesshomaru?” Masao laughed, “how pathetic of an Inu-youkai! You are a disgrace to demons everywhere and I will see to it that you are silenced.”


There was no time for Kohaku’s body to react as something came shooting from the trees, the bright fluorescent green light burning his eyes from the short distance. Sesshomaru had fooled the youkai possessing the human boy. The Inu-youkai’s speed was beyond imaginable as he kicked his sword into the air and grabbed it with his left hand. The way Sesshomaru moved looked as though he was merely dancing, but as Tokijin plummeted into the middle of Kohaku’s chest, it proved otherwise. The horrified cry could be heard from the only female exterminator’s lips, she was physically losing her brother, but with out being possessed by the youkai Masao, he would have died long before. Sesshomaru looked like a cold and cruel warrior as he withdrew the blade of his Tokijin from Kohaku’s chest and watched the nineteen-year-old boy slump to the ground. Masao had been devoured by the Inu-youkai’s blade, by the evil aura inside Tokijin. The fight was now officially over.


“This Sesshomaru will never be silenced by the likes of pathetic demons nor mere humans,” his voice was like ice, but it radiated with authority. “This Sesshomaru will not accept defeat and no one will disobey!”


Sheathing his sword, Sesshomaru turned and headed in the direction of his belongings. He knew that Rin had died during the fight, he could smell death in the air, it was just sickening. Pulling his breastplate over his head and tying it together around his bare chest, the Inu-youkai picked up the discarded Tenseiga and felt it pulse in his grasp, the blade was weeping to be used, it was begging. The demon exterminators and the monk went over to their fallen comrade to take his body back to their village, Sesshomaru knew that they would not retaliate against him because Kohaku had lost control of himself and in the process his soul. The Inu-youkai looked down at Rin’s body wrapped in his stained haori, no matter what happened, she still looked beautiful. Sesshomaru waited until Tenseiga pulse again, showing him the imps of hell that were busy trying to take Rin’s soul, he wouldn’t let them take her away from him. Glaring at the imps, Sesshomaru swung Tenseiga, killing every ugly demon that laid their hands on his precious Rin, if he had revived her once, he was certain that he could do it again. To Sesshomaru there was just no exceptions to deny him what he wanted, the Inu-youkai would make sure of it.

The Sun shined brightly through the opened curtains making the once black room lit. Morning had swept through the land slowly and the birds sang happy melodies outside in the trees. Everything had gone back to normal since Sesshomaru returned to the castle with a blood haori around an unconscious Rin. The servants had dropped many items in shock at the scene, it was horrible. It wasn’t long after the Inu-youkai had placed Rin in her room did he find his “faithful” servant Jaken in the study, Sesshomaru wasn’t one to be taken lightly and Jaken paid the ultimate price for his betrayal. Days had gone by after another and Sesshomaru stayed in his study looking at hundreds of books and scrolls but never seeing them.


Servants came to the study to give Sesshomaru hourly updates on Rin’s condition, or to leave and pick up the food he didn’t touch, he was throwing himself into work, but he was never able to stay focused for too long. The Inu-youkai spent most of his time thinking about everything that happened, and how things could have been different and how easily things could have been avoided all together. His face was set into a constant frown, he was angry with people and youkai who intervened in his own affairs, and how he had been basically defenseless to stop any of it because of his pride, because of his appearance, and his reputation.


Growling at himself, Sesshomaru threw everything off his desk, he couldn’t stand the silence any longer, it was suffocating him. Throwing a glass figurine across the room, he listened to it shatter as it impacted with the wall, the once unnecessary sound was somehow music to his ears. Sighing heavily as the Inu-youkai rose from his chair, he went over to the glass doors and opened them, the fresh air would do him some good. Inhaling deeply, he let his tired amber eyes survey the scenery, the garden was just beginning to bloom and even if it was something he was usually indifferent about, now it was something that eased his weary mind. It would have been something that Rin would have enjoyed seeing.


“S-Sesshomaru..?”
