Chapter 7 Tetsusaiga

Meanwhile, Inuyasha reached Sesshomaru’s study in 1 minute flat. He knocked on the door.

“Come in Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha opened the door and found his older half brother sitting behind his desk. “Have a seat.” He pointed to a chair directly across from him. Inuyasha took the seat. “Now, tell me what happened.” Sesshomaru stated.

“Well, I was in my room, worrying about Kagome,” He said sarcastically, “when a light appeared in my head.” Inuyasha knew that Sesshomaru would think it was a stupid idea, but he continued anyways. “I could see her, and hear her and she could hear me too. I don’t know why it happened but it did. Then, this path showed up to me, and I didn’t hesitate to take it.” Inuyasha hated thinking about these fresh memories, but he knew Sesshomaru wouldn’t drop it.

“What happened when you got there?” Sesshomaru asked. He had his arms crossed with one hand on his chin and he had leaned back in his chair, like he was concentrating.

“The light ‘showed me’ the window of the room she was in and my demon took over. I guess it was the adrenaline, or something.” Inuyasha told him and looked away from his brother.

“I highly doubt that.” Sesshomaru stated coolly. Sesshomaru stood up from his chair and walked to the window. “That light you experienced is the connection you get when you take a mate.”

Inuyasha was shocked. He didn’t know much about mating and the details that go along with it, since his father only came around every so often. “How could that be true? I don’t have a mate.” He argued. His heart skipped a beat at the thought of Kagome being his mate, but he knew she wouldn’t want to be with him because he was a worthless half breed. He lowered his head in sadness.

“That’s not the real issue at the moment. I am more concerned as to why your demon came forth with such small chance that you would be threatened.” Inuyasha looked up at him. Sesshomaru stopped and turned back to face Inuyasha. “Tell me the truth. Do you have stronger feelings for her than just a friend?” He asked the stunned hanyou. Inuyasha looked away for a moment to think. He looked back to Sesshomaru.

“I-I think I am in love with her.” He stuttered out. “I’m not sure though because I’ve never felt like this before.”

“That’s what I thought.” Sesshomaru replied. “Your demon has decided that she is the one.” Inuyasha lowered his head again.

Sesshomaru noticed this and became concerned. “What? What’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” Inuyasha spat.

“If there is something wrong, I need to know about it. Is there something you’re not telling me?” He asked.

“No, I’m not hiding anything. It’s just,” Inuyasha sighed, “It’s just that I knew my heart has decided but she would never have me.” He held back the tears that wanted to pour out of his eyes at saying these painful words out loud.

“Have you already asked her? Why did you not inform me of this before now?” Sesshomaru asked slightly angry.

“I didn’t ask her!” Inuyasha yelled. He sat back in his chair and sighed again. “I know she won’t. She deserves a stronger, better mate than a filthy half breed like me. She’s too good for me.”

“Nonsense.” Sesshomaru huffed. Sesshomaru cared about his brother very much and hated when he felt so down on himself. Inuyasha looked up at him.

“What?” He asked a little shocked.

“You are talking nonsense.” Sesshomaru stated. “You are stronger as a half demon than most full demons will ever be. And as for the matter of Kagome, you won’t know what she wants unless you ask her.” Sesshomaru walked back over to his chair and sat down. Inuyasha thought about what he said for a moment.

“You think I should ask her to be my mate?” He asked his older brother for his advice.

“I think that you shouldn’t assume something that you have no clue about. What you do about your relationship with her is your business. But I want you to have something.” Sesshomaru reached under the desk and pulled out an old rusted sword.

“What is that piece of junk?” Inuyasha asked.

“Father left the Tetsusaiga with me to give to you when the time came. This sword will help you keep your demon blood in check when times get tough. Yet, you will still be able to protect yourself and Kagome if necessary.” Sesshomaru told him.
“Tetsusaiga? Okay, but I don’t see how this piece of shit is gonna be able to protect anyone.” Inuyasha said, picking up the sword and placing it at his side. Sesshomaru ignored his little brother’s comment.

“That is all I needed to talk to you about for this evening. You may leave now.” Sesshomaru told him. “I will see Kagome and yourself in the morning at breakfast.”

“Okay, see ya later.” Inuyasha said standing from his seat.

“Oh and Inuyasha, if you need to ever talk about anything, I’m here.” Sesshomaru assured him. Inuyasha smiled and nodded.

“Thanks.” He said. Inuyasha walked out the door and closed it behind him. He rushed back to his bedroom to be by Kagome’s side.

When Inuyasha reached the door, he hesitated. Should he ask her? Should he even risk their friendship by asking her such a serious question? Should he back off and try to forget these feelings he has for her? He was so confused that he didn’t know what to do. He decided to wait and think about what to do about the situation, but he needed to be by her right now.

Inuyasha opened the door and quietly walked in. He didn’t want to disturb her sleep, if she was sleeping. He walked over to his mother. She smiled at him wand stood.

“I’m going to my room if you need me. I need to get some rest.” She said smiling to Inuyasha. She walked past him but was stopped by Inuyasha’s hand wrapped around her wrist.

Inuyasha pulled her into a big hug and whispered, ‘I love you mom,’ into her ears. “I love you, too, son.” She hugged him back. When they ended the embrace, she smiled at him, then, turned to walk out the door. Inuyasha turned and looked at Kagome. He heard the door shut and listened to his mother’s footsteps till he knew she was out of hearing rang.

Inuyasha walked quietly over to the bed Kagome was lying in.
