Sakura Blossoms and Kisses: Chapter 9

Years Later, When Inu-san is grown

A fully grown hanyou smirked as he watched the miko walked through the forest, heading to the huge tree in the middle that was named the God Tree. His amber eyes watched her as he silently trailed after her, unaware that a youkai trailed after him. As the beautiful miko sat down under the tree, she looked up, her eyes meeting those of the hanyou.

"You can come down now Inuyasha, I won't hurt you."

She called out softly, watching as the amber eyed half demon jumped down from a nearby tree and slowly took a seat beside her, always looking at anything but her. The miko just smiled as she laid down her bow and arrows, trying to make the tense hanyou beside her relax.

"Whaddya want Kikyo?"

He asked as he finally turned to look at her, relaxing slightly when he noticed that she didn't have her bow and arrows. Kikyo just smiled as she watched him look at her with his peircing gaze, nothing like the other demons that she'd had the so called 'pleasure' of meeting.

"I just wanted to talk Inuyasha, is it so bad having to sit with me?"

Inuyasha just shook his head, his silver hair swinging as he looked over at her once again, a smile tugging at his lips as he watched her giggle, his ears twitching to the sound. He just shook his head once more, his ears twitching of their own accord as he relaxed alittle more.

"No, it's not so bad having to sit with you. What do you find so funny?"

He asked as she continued to laugh as his ears twitched over and over again. A blush appeared on his cheeks as he realized this and he looked away into the sky, trying to keep his attention off of her slowly subsiding giggles.

"It's nothing Inuyasha, I just find that you're ears are...cute.."

Inuyasha huffed, his chest puffing out, but slowly deflating when he heard her giggle again. He just sighed a slight smile coming to his face as they started a very decent conversation. Without either of them knowing it, they were being watched by a very formidable taiyoukai. His name was Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. He wasn't blind to his brother's attraction for the miko, but in all honesty, he wished he was.

Present Day

Miroku and Sango watched as the Western Lord slowly finished his recount of that day that was burned into his memory for eternity. Miroku nodded his head slowly as Sesshomaru turned his gaze back to them, waiting to hear their opinion on his thoughts, on what he'd seen that day many years ago.

"It seems that Inuyasha did love Kikyo, but he claims that he still does. You are right in saying that he would give up everything for her. From what we've learned from him, Keade, and Lady Kagome we know that he felt that Kikyo was very special for him, special enough that he would become a ningen for her and give up his ambition to become a full fledged youkai."

Miroku stated as he really thought about it. Sango just nodded as she remembered the countless conversations she'd had with Kagome about Inuyasha and his past and what she used to feel about him. Suddenly, something else came to Sango's attention as her thoughts drifted over a certain conversation with Kagome, Keade, and Shippou.

"Sesshomaru-sama, if I'm not mistaken...Aren't relationships between noble familes looked upon with disgrace? I remember talking about it with Lady Keade, Kagome, and Shippou after something that Koga had said in regards to you and Inuyasha. He said that the noble blood was slowly dying about because of brothers or sisters getting into fights about who was heir to whatever lands or villages and such."

Sesshomaru looked up from his thoughts and turned to look at the exterminator with surprise. Miroku also turned a surprised gaze to Sango, remembering Koga's exact words on the relationships between families of noble blood. Sesshomaru pondered on Sango's question and what Prince Koga had said.

"What Prince Koga said is true, relationships in the same noble families are looked upon with disgrace..but not all of them. Lord Tsunamu and Lord Kaiser, also known as Lord Hironu, have a relationship with eachother. Yet, ningen and youkai alike say nothing because Tsunamu is a hanyou much like Inuyasha and Lord Hironu is a full youkai like myself. Their father, Lord Houtai, did exactly the same thing that my father did after his first mate died, he mated to a ningen woman which later gave birth to Lord Tsunamu."

They both just nodded as they thought about this carefully. It was hard to see what Sesshomaru thought of the relationship between the brothers, but it was clear that he didn't loath them in the least bit. They apparently had what he'd lost with Inuyasha. After a few moments passed, neither parties saying anything, Kagome quickly made her way into the room, stareing at the occupants as she stood infront of them.

"Sorry to barge in like this guys, but I just got some bad news from Myouga. It seems that Naraku is on the move again with Kagura and Kanna. He's paired up once again with Kikyo and they're heading to demolish Koga's clan, who unfortunatly, just arrived at the Northern Lands where Inuyasha is staying."

Amber eyes flashed with understanding as he started towards the door, everyone else following him. They had to get to the Northern Lands and quick to save Inuyasha and the others.

Northern Lands

Inuyasha sat down across from Koga and the others that were seated in the room. On either side of Koga were two wolves, both of them reconizable, their names, Ginta and Hakkaku. Sitting on one side of Inuyasha was Lord Tsunamu and sitting on his other side was Lord Kaiser, both of them having been in deep conversation with Koga when he arrived.

"Prince Inuyasha, it's nice to see that you've finally arrived."

Kaiser greeted with a smirk as the hanyou looked at him. Dark blue eyes scanned over the hanyou friend that he hadn't seen in years. Inuyasha had changed from his carefree child self to a very arrogant, take no shit, adult.

"Drop the formalities Kaiser, you always were the one to be sarcastic."

Inuyasha replied, smirking as everyone else started to laugh. It'd been a while since he'd been surrounded by childhood friends that he knew fairly well. Koga just shook his head, grinning at everyone as they slowly started to calm down.

"Nice to see that neither of you have lost you're edge in the last few years."

Koga commented, Tsunamu nodded his agreement. Ginta and Hakkaku just smiled as they watched the exchange between the sons of very formidable Lords of the past and present.

"This is gonna take awhile."

Ginta muttered to Hakkaku as he silently nodded his agreement. They settled back in their chairs for what they knew would be a very long conversation between friends.
