Sakura Blossoms and Kisses: Chapter 5

Months Later

The taiyoukai stood upon his balcony, the wind wipping his hair around his body and face. Autumn was fading and Winter was beginning to arrive in the Western Lands. A sigh escaped his lips as he breathed in the cool air. It had been almost half a year since he'd got into the fight with his younger half brother, Inuyasha. He was now learning what it was to lose something that you loved more than anything.

Below him, in the garden, Kagome played with Shippou and Rin. 'How can they be so happy?' He thought to himself, his sadness eating away at him. It was sad, to see such a proud taiyoukai fall victim to a broken heart.

With Kagome

Shippou jumped down from the perch on his surrogate mother's shoulder, running after Rin. In all honesty, he missed Inuyasha, but he tried not to think about it to much. 'Maybe he'll come back.' The lil' kitsune thought to himself as he tagged Rin, and then took off running the other way when she started to chase him.

Kagome laughed as she watched the children play with eachother. Feeling eyes on her, Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru stareing down at them from his balcony. When sapphire met amber, the youkai lord turned away. Kagome shrugged off the weird feeling she had, and just watched as Rin tackled Shippou, making them both laugh.

"Come on you two, it's time for lunch." She called, watching as they sighed and untangled themselves. "Don't worry, we might come back outside later and play." At this, they both took off running into the castle, wanting to get done with their lunch and studying before nightfall.

Far away, in the Northern Lands

A hanyou jumped down from his perch in a tree, walking slowly over to the castle infront of him where a lion youkai waited to greet him. "Lord Inuyasha, how nice to see you after so long." The lion youkai was Houtai, Lord of the Northern Lands. Inuyasha just smiled at his old friend before he stopped infront of him. "I could say the same, Lord Houtai. How has everything been?" "It's been fine Inuyasha-chan, I remember when you last were here. It was more than 50 years ago."

Inuyasha nodded his head, shaking the older demon's hand. "Yeah, you're right. And don't call me little. I've grown up." This just made Houtai laugh, but he nodded his head anyways. "I suppose you have grown up Inuyasha. And into a fine man at that." At this comment, Inuyasha blushed as he looked away. "So, tell me, what are you doing here Inuyasha? I heard that Sesshomaru has been looking for you."

"Feh, he doesn't care about me." Inuyasha replied, anger apparent in his voice as he started off into the castle. Houtai stared after Inuyasha surprised, but followed him anyways.

Later that night, with Shippou and Kagome

Kagome sighed as she walked past Sesshomaru's door, knowing that he was probably still on the balcony. Shippou looked up at his surrogate mother, wondering what she was thinking about as she carried him to his room. "Momma?" Kagome looked down at her son, smiling at him. "Hm?" "Do you miss Inuyasha?" This question stunned Kagome, but she answered it anyways. "Of course I do Shippou, we all do. Why would you ask?"

Shippou sighed, he knew he had to tell Kagome, and he had to tell her now. "Momma...do you still love Inuyasha?" To say the least, the question caught her off guard and she stopped, looking down at Shippou. "I..I really don't know Shippou....We've been friends for a long time, and so I think I've learned to accept him as just that, a friend..a best friend." He nodded his head, and then took a deep breath as he said, "Inu..Inuyasha and Sess..Sesshomaru love eachother..and I don't mean brotherly love."

'How many shocks can a girl get in a day?' She thought to herself. "Is that why Inuyasha left?" Shippou shook his head and replied, "No, him and Sesshomaru got into a fight. Both of them are too proud to apologize." "Figures.." Kagome muttered as she leaned against the wall. Unknown to them, Sesshomaru was listening from inside of his room.
