InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Sin's of the Father ❯ chapter 5 ( Chapter 6 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Omg! I can't believe how many reviews I have for this story! I would like to thank every one who reviewed and ask that you guys keep them coming. I am very sorry for this long awaited update but I was kind of in a no brian zone or as other people like to say, 'writters block' However I don't like using that term so just stay with me when I say, "No brian zone".

IMPORTANT NOTE: As many of you realized, this story is based on why Sesshomaru and Inuyasha hate each other now. The anime really doesn't go deep into why the brothers hate each other. After this chapter I will be using some of the anime episodes to give a time line. However Kagome, Sango, Miroku, most likely will not be in the story. I am sorry but I really don't see how they could fit with what I have planned.

SPIOLER FOR NEXT CHAPTER. DON'T READ THIS PART RIGHT HERE IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW, JUST SKIP DOWN TO THE CHAPTER BELOW AND START READING. IF YOU DO WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN READ THIS!..... The next chapter will be based on.....never mind. I've had a change of heart, I don't want to tell you. sorry just read the chapter below. This way you will have to stay tuned and come back to read the next chapter!!!





Sin's of the Father

By: rAiNwAtEr

Chapter: 5



Inuyasha ran through the thick forest with nothing to light his way except for the cratered and dismayed moon that hung over head. As the hanyou dogged massive trees, angry bushes clawed at his toned skin. Blood flowed freely from the angry cuts but the pain was silenced by his brian, his body stuck in shock. His cheeks were chap and raw from his ever flowing tears. With a shattered heart Inuyasha ran with watery eyes through the midnight forest, destination unclear.

Inuyasha's muscles cried out in pure agony, buring with an intense pain. His lungs felt like they were going to burst. His eyes were blured with tears, preventing him from seeing where he was going but he didn't slow his pace. He ran for miles without rest. His leg muscles struggled to keep him going. Dawn broke over the horizen, rays of light started to coat the foliage in the forest. The cool night air warmed by the rising sun. Breathing harshly, Inuyasha collapsed in a small clearing. Physically and emotionally drained, his eyes closed and he fell into a deep sleep. As Inuyasha's breathing evened out, his mind entered the dream realm where horrible nightmares awaited him.

----

Sesshomaru collapsed to the floor covered in blood not of his own. Inutaishou's lifeless body laid on the floor across the room. Sakura's body rested peacfully in eternal sleep behind him. His mind was blank except for seeing Inuyasha's emotionally crushed face flash in his line of sight ever time he blinked his eyes. He flet lost and shattered like a jigsaw puzzle that is missing pieces. For the first time in eleven years tears flowed down his face creating red raw tracks that ran down his cheeks. If his voice was working he would have been sobbing out loud in agony. His shoulders shook with the force of his tears.

Through the balcony glass doors, light from the rising sun, cast a enchanting spell on the spilt blood on the floor. The dried blood flaked and glistened under the light and gave off a fowl smell. The room was covered in blood as well as Sesshomaru. Blood caked his clawed hands and cheeks. His white hori and ji pants were stain with the crimson liquid.

Like a drone Sesshomaru stood up from the bloody floor. In a haze he picked up Sakura's cold stiff corpse and walked out of the bedroom chamber. Cradling her dead form in his arms he walked down the darkened hallways turning every now and then until he reached the first floor. Servants and guards staired on in confusion and horror but non of the onlookers would dare to question what happened. Sesshomaru walked out of the castle with Sakura still in his arms and made his way to the flower garden she loaved so much. Sakura spent many years rending that flower garden so Sesshomaru felt it was the only place that made sense to make her grave.

The servants in the garden gasped at the sight of the dead Sakura in Sesshomaru's arms. Her blood could be smelt on him which confused the loyal servants.

"My lord, What has happened?! Does Lord Inutaishou know of this?!" A servant in about his late 30's asked while gasping at the horrible sight.

One whiff of the air confirmed that the Lord's blood was also on Sesshomaru. The servant's eyes widened in realization.

'Sesshomaru had killed Inutaishou and Sakura.'

Sesshomaru carfully placed Sakura on the soft grassy covered ground. In a blink of an eye, Sesshomaru killed all the servants in the garden. He killed them to ease his greif, he killed them because of his agony, hell he just killed them because he hated humans.

'Not all' Sesshomaru reminded him self while looking down at Sakura. He didn't forgive her just yet but he didn't hate her anymore.

When he had successfully killed every last servant Sesshomaru's attention returned to his task at hand.

He clawed at the soil with his own two hands for a good half hour. Sesshomaru found the situation held some irony, his first time doing manual labor would be to dig the grave of his step mother. In a daze he cleaned Sakura off and slowly wrapped her in a white silk sheet. He then laid Sakura into her grave. He placed placed cherry blossoms on her chest between her folded hands. He gazed at her through his watery eyes one last time the covered her with soil, closing off her grave and sealing away his tears for good. When he was done, Sesshomaru placed fresh wild flowers on top of the dirt mound.

At the head of Sakura's gravestood a huge cherry blossom tree, the only one in the massive garden. On the tree Sesshomaru carved a message using the tree in place of a tome stone.

'Here lies the preciouse body of the lady Sakura. Although her body will return to the soil for all eternaty her soul has fled to a better place. May she rest in peace and go in peace.'

Sesshomaru returned to the castle to carry out the rest of his plan. He dismissed all of the servants except for the young Miaka anf her grandmother along with Jakken and green toad demon. He commanded in writing that before the servants leave forever, they had to burn Inutaishou's corpse and clean his bedchambers untill not even a speck of blood was left. When they were finished they were ordered to lock the doors. With the absence of 150 servants, the castle was shrouded in silence and gloom.

Rumors spreaded through out the land that Sesshomaru had snapped and became crazy and for no reason at all murdered the former Lord and Lady of the Western Land. As for the hanyou thry distand so much, most believed Sesshomaru killed him too while others believe he loacked him up in the dungeon never to see day light again. No one knew the truth and what events happened to lead up to this disaster, except for the new silent Lord of the West, a hanyou thought to be dead, and two loyal servants who would ratter cut out their own tongues then spill the truth.

Inuyasha woke with shallow breaths. His eyes stung from the light that was shinning in his eyes. He couldn't move his body, it was to stiff and ached to much to listen to it's owner. His head ached from all the tears he shed last night but for the life of him he couldn't remember why. Then all at once Inuyasha remebered the grotesque sceen from the other night. Inuyasha's body heaved with sobs but no tears would fall, his body to taxed to produce the salty substance.

"Why" Inuyasha choked out through gasping lips. "Please, some one, anyone, help me" He hissed to himself lost in complete agony.

Once more Inuyasha slipped into the black void known as sleep. His mind simply couldn't function awake. As he slept he dreamt about his ever recurring dream of Sesshomaru being carried behind black menacing oak doors. Then for the first time Inuyasha's dream blended with the current images in his mind. Images of his dead father and mother with Sesshomaru standing over them with bloody claws. Once again his mind turning reality and harsh truth into a dream. You could say his mind surpressed reality in order to keep functioning right. After all, a dream is easier to get over then reality.

Keade picked up a hand made wicker basket on her way out of her hut. The old Miko had to collect more herbs for the sick childeren in the village. There seem to be a case of flu going around, nothing a few herbs couldn't fix. Picking up her walking stick that was leaning against the wall and wrapped a cape around her self, the one eyed old women walked down a worn dirt path to the forest on the out skirts or the village, basket in hand.

Keade picked some Wormroot and a few other herbs that were located only in the beginning of the forest. However she needed a herb called Wolfbane that was only located in the deep part of the forest. She sent out a small amount of her miko energy to check for any demons who seemed capable of malicouse intent, were in the area. When the cost seemed clear she continued down the fimilure dirt path. The deeper she went into the forest, the thicker the trees became. All the trees were bunched together making a canopy of leaves above blocking out most of the sun's light, giving the forest a dark and forbidden look.

The warm wind whipped at the leaves and flowers as Keade walked a relaxing pace, content to just enjoy the lingering warm weather. She soon came to a small clearing and was shocked to see a boy demon no older then twelve sleeping on his back. He didn't give off a bad aura so she slowly walked over to the young demon. She was stunned to see the young demon was a hanyou, half human and half youkai. Judging by his silk red hori and hi pants, he must have came from a wealthy clan. Upon further inspection she realized he had the crest of the Lord of the West on his upper right arm of his hori. Keade's eyebrows shot up with realization, she had heard stories of a taboo love between the Lord of the Westen Lands and his human mate, the union produced a hanyou son.

She knelt by Inuyasha and checked his vital signs. He seemed to be in a deep sleep. She quickly combined two strong herbs together and put them under the hanyou's nose. The potent smell woke Inuyasha up so fast that his upper body shot up into a sitting position.

"What, w-w-who are you? Get away from me?!" Inuyasha commanded the one eye old lady while crawling over to a tree and resting his back against it.

"Thy wish Ye no harm young master. What is ye name?" Keade asked in a light tone that showed respect.

Normally Inuyasha wouldn't talk to anyone except his mother but the lady in front of him was the first stanger to speak to him with out glaring at him with scorn. Inuyasha's heart constricted at the thought of his mother but he pushed it out of mind.

"My name is Prince Inuyasha of the Western Lands. What is your name old hag?" Inuyasha asked in a suspicous voice.

"Thy name is Keade child. What is a prince of the Western Lands such as your self doing so far from the West?" Keade asked quickly taking a liking to the arrogant prince.

"Feh, that is non of your concern. My buisness is my own. Where is the nearest village from here?" Inuyasha inquired while looking around the clearing for the first time.

"My village is the only one for miles around. I would be hornered if you would stay with me untill you know where your going" Keade said standing and walking down the dirt path back to the village without waiting for a reply.

Inuyasha thought keade's offer over. He had no where to go, he belonged no where. Getting to his feet with much difficulty he followed the kind but demanding old lady down the dirt path. After walking for a little while the tree grew thinner and soon they were out of the forest. Inuyasha spotted Keade's village at the bottom of the hill. It looked quiet and warm.

'Maybe, just maybe I can recover here. Maybe I can learn to live again here. Maybe....Just maybe...'
