InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The hearts of Children! ❯ When the Ice king melts. ( Chapter 14 )

Chapter fourteen: When the ice king melts.

~~Authoress note: Okay hope you enjoyed the last chapter. Was that a major plot twist or what? I really aren't too good with those yet. Well this chapter will be done the same way chapter ten was done to. It's the same time frame from when Rin went to the castle till the two chibis went to sleep. ~~

D/c: I don't own Inuyasha I'm just a fan and here's my humble fic. I was told I had to put this on every chapter. I don't why I put the disclaimer on chapter one. I thought that would be enough. (Shrugs)

[Chapter fourteen starts] {Dawn}

Sesshomaru woke up knowing a few things weren't right. First of all, it was a lot colder than yesterday the icy winds lifted his silver locks of hair graceful as he rose up and stretched, secondly Inuyasha was still hanging upside down like a bat and the stupid hanyou was going to have a major head ache as well as ear ache because of it, thirdly something was missing a scent to be exact. There was also the image of Miroku and Kouga all cuddled up like two lost lovers that sicken him. Sesshomaru went over towards the lake and washed up. Just because he was around a bunch of smelly humans, a hanyou, and youkias (jaken included) didn't mean he had to be one. He let out a soft growl as the cold water made contract with his flawless ivory snow body. Not taking long he quickly dressed and walked back to camp. That when it hit him.

Rin!

She was gone! Hadn't she been sleeping with Inuyasha's wench? He looked around as to see if she had just moved to one of the others. She hadn't he began to sniff her out but to avail. Only one resort left.

Sesshomaru: Wake up! All of you! Jaken!

Sesshomaru gave a nice swift kick to Jaken knowing that little imp/frog would start squawking loud enough to wake the dead. Sango right away just garb his boomerang and flung towards the imp/frog Sesshomaru just kicked him again so he wouldn't get too hurt. Inuyasha promptly fell out of the tree on his head and started shouting enough cruses to wake the rest up. Miroku and Kouga woke up looking into each other eyes.

Miroku got all freaked out started jumping around swearing he would suck Kouga up in his wind tunnel if the wolf had did anything to him. Kouga's jaw was still broken so all he could do was growl and start fighting with Miroku who just bashed him on the head a few times with his staff. Sango and Kirara was making sure Inuyasha was alright and try to calm the hanyou down and that Miroku didn't use his wind tunnel on Kouga. Jaken kept squawking claming that some invisible youkia kept kicking him. Kagome however stayed asleep. Sesshomaru was getting pissed and let out a growl trying to keep calm. It didn't work. As Inuyasha kept, complaining up something being stuck in his hair between the ears.

Sesshomaru: ENOUGH! ALL OF YOU SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! (Growls, rubs temples, and looks at Kagome still sleeping) Get that miko up this instant!

At this Kagome did wake up on her own. Causing everyone to gain a few sweat drops. Even though most people would have thought Sango and Miroku had ran out of them.

Sesshomaru: Miko where's Rin?

Kagome: (rubs eyes and starts stretching) hmm? What? (Yawns)

Sesshomaru: I will not ask again I'll simply rip your head off.

Kagome: HEY! I just woke up ya know! (Figures it out) OH MY GOD! WHERE'S RIN?

Inuyasha: (trying to get whatever on his head off) what's the big deal she probably went to take care of business or maybe she wet herself and hiding. (Ears are twitching in annoyance)

Sesshomaru: She isn't around here!

Inuyasha: Excuse me, Mr. perfect but my head hurts no thanks to you and my ears are sore. And there's something on my head. (Growling cause, he can't get it off)

Sango: Can't you just sniff her out?

Sesshomaru: the wind have carried all the smells of last night away. (Growling in frustration)

Miroku: perhaps she went back to your castle?

Sesshomaru: She couldn't possibly know the way back we are miles away from it.

Kagome: maybe she went to go find Shippo on her own?

Inuyasha: Why would she be that stupid, she's too weak to go off like that besides how many times have she claimed she wouldn't leave her Sesshomaru. GRRR! I getting tried off whatever stuck on my head! Get off! [Starts bashing his head again the tree and or rubbing up against it]

Kagome: Oyo! Inuyasha let me help you. (Goes over to troubled the hanyou and helps him out)

Inuyasha: watched the ears! (Ears still twitching in annoyance)

Kagome: Oh my god! It a note! From Rin! Only she used one of my glue and glitter pens to write it, and she used both sides of the paper.

Inuyasha: Figures. (Ears are twitching in annoyance) Get off already Kagome!

Kagome: I'm trying but it really is stuck to your hair! Stop twitching your ears!

Sesshomaru: (very annoyed) then I shall cut his hair and removed the note! (Pulls out Tokijin)

Inuyasha: Oh hell no! You not going anywhere near by head with a sword. And no ones cutting my hair. Cut your own damn hair. (Growling)

Kagome: (getting annoyed) Stop-moving baka! Hold your ears still!

Inuyasha: I can't their hurt and their cold, and their…

His words were cut off as Sesshomaru just pushed Kagome aside and garb a full load of Inuyasha's hair and pulled off the note harshly taking a fist full of hair with it. Well this got both Inuyasha and Kouga pissed. Inuyasha because he had already told Sesshomaru his head hurt as well as ears. Plus, there was a lot hair in Sesshomaru's hand; he might have a bald spot. Kouga because no one touches Kagome without a fight. Sesshomaru let out a warning growl and flash his eyes red. He wasn't in the playful mood right now, and Miroku was loving every minute of it. Sesshomaru scan the note finally he was unable to read it at all, the colors were too bright and it looked like scribble.

Sesshomaru: Jaken come here!

Jaken: (hops over towards Sesshomaru) yes milord.

Sesshomaru: read this you should her writing by now.

Jaken took the note and held it closely to his face trying to read it. However he couldn't, and he didn't want to make anything up like he had done on several occasions for Sesshomaru looked like he was about to explode any minute now, as he violent shook his hand to free all of Inuyasha's hair.

Jaken: I can't red it milord.

Sesshomaru: why not!

Jaken: I…I…you…. see…. this…

Sesshomaru: out with it or die!

Jaken: MILORDTHISJAKENDOENS'TKNOWHOWTOREADTHISNOTEFROMRIN!

(Translated into: Milord this Jaken doesn't know how to read this note from Rin!)

Sesshomaru: You should know!

Jaken: I have deceived you for many year milord this Jaken doesn't know how to read at all! In any tongue. (Begging near Sesshomaru's feet)

Sesshomaru: (growling, has lost all patience) you stupid uneducated imp! (Takes the staff of heads and whacks Jaken miles away with it.)

Inuyasha: loser. I at least know how to read human. (Rubbing the spot where some of his hair is missing)

Sesshomaru: (ignores Inuyasha) Miko you read it.

Kagome: Okay if you don't burn it with you poison. (Finally takes the note when Sesshomaru stops) The front side says " Rin had scary derime! Do knot look for Rin sees going to wecrh for flippo-chan does want you all to aye and go bye, bye. (A/n: no ones needs me to translate right?)

Sango: That awful brave of her.

Inuyasha: awfully stupid if you ask me.

Sesshomaru: which is my point no one asked you, Inuyasha.

Miroku: (smirking) What does back say Kagome.

Kagome: the back is too hard too read because of all Inuyasha's hair stick to it. But here goes "…snow bad, flippo-chan woat aye…. Rin trook magic aire sicks! Be tack woon! Wvu Rin" That's all I can make out.

Sango: A magic what? What? What's she talking about.

Inuyasha: damn kid she makes my head hurt when she's not around!

Miroku: snow bad? That's what I don't understand. What bad snow?

Kagome: She must have been worried about the snow coming and that Shippo might freeze out there. She probably had a nightmare about it and thought she should leave and find him before it started snowing so we all wouldn't get trapped in it.

Sango: that makes sense for a child anyways.

Miroku: hmm? Kouga you have something to say.

Again, Kouga couldn't say anything because of his jaw so he just growled out something that only Inuyasha and Sesshomaru could understand.

Inuyasha: wolf-boy here says he's not helping looking for the brat. She's better off dead. Save us al the trouble.

As soon as Inuyasha finished, the group waited for the blow that never came to either Kouga or Inuyasha. Sesshomaru was gone! But to where? Inuyasha for one didn't care as he sought out Kagome's mirror so he could look at the his damage mane. He found it.

Inuyasha: That bastard! Look what he did to my hair! (Rubbing his bald spot in the middle of his head near his ears) I can't go around like this.

Kagome: Inuyasha we have to help him!

Inuyasha: Forget it! He can find his own brat; we still haven't found ours remember?

Sango: Inuyasha be fair.

Miroku: I have to agree with Inuyasha, ladies we are better off.

Kagome & Sango: MIROKU!

This was the first time in history that Miroku hadn't agreed with them and went along with Inuyasha, who was glad that someone was on his side. Kouga growled out something but was ignored. For the most part, he just sat next to Kirara who had taken pity on the poor wolf and was nuzzling his legs.

Sango: Fine, Kagome, Kirara, and I will go hunt down Sesshomaru. We will help him. You three better be here when get back.

Inuyasha: did I just say we aren't helping him? Miroku agreed with me! Kouga does too! I am right wolf -boy?

Kouga promptly nodded his head; he didn't care much for Sesshomaru or that brat of his. Well this got Kagome mad again seeing that it was the girls vs. the guys on this topic. Though she still had the upper hand and they should of all knew it.

Kagome: Inuyasha?

Inuyasha: what?

Kagome: Sit!

(Plop)

Kagome: (stepping on Inuyasha to get to Kouga.) So, you don't agree with me Kouga?

Now Kouga shook his head and getting up to hold Kagome's hands in his. Kouga kept growling and whimper stuff that he knew Kagome's wouldn't understand only that he now supported her. Inuyasha was finally able to get up and was in a foul mood. Did he not tell everyone he had a headache?

Sango: well know that we have Kouga's support lets go find Sesshomaru. (Cockily) I guess Kouga's more of a man than both Inuyasha and Miroku put together. Come on Kirara.

Kagome: I agree come along Kouga-kun. (Putting her arms around him)

{Near the time Rin was thinking about warming her feet, as Shippo was taking a bath}

Well this got both Inuyasha and Miroku's jaw dropping. Did Sango just say? Forget that did Kagome have her arms around? The two gave each other a look before they both started bashing their head against a tree. Once out of sight Kagome tried to take her arms off Kouga but her now had his arms around her with a big toothless grin on his face. Why did Kouga seem to remind of Hojo? Kagome just sighed a bit, as she told sango to go on without them. Kouga cuddling was just too much.

Sango walked towards the lake they had bathe in last night. Kirara was leading her towards something her faithful neko-youkia picked up. She now heard it took it was a whimper. Someone or something sounded like it was hurt and in pain. Walking carefully around like rim to get to the lake. There was Sesshomaru looking like he was staring at his reflection in the water. Sango thought he had gone looking for Rin. Why was he sitting there looking at himself? That when she heard the small whimper again. It was found him? Could he be? No way! Sango had to check it out, as she told Kirara to stay put. Sango crept up on the suffering western lord. Knowing that he probably knew she was right there.

Sesshomaru: Stop right there!

Sango: Sorry Sesshomaru-sama. Are you alright?

Sesshomaru: No I am not all right! Winter is here and we have lost Rin.

Sango: Yes it is getting colder but we should start looking for them before the snow start to fall.

Sesshomaru: (weakly) My nose is cold.

Sango: What was that milord?

Sesshomaru: I'm losing my sense of smell. Inuyasha have probably already lost his.

Sango had heard about this from her father, he had said when it got too cold out; Inu-youkias would lose their scent of smell. This was the best time of the year to slay them because of that. Their sense of smell was vital for their survival as well as there hearing. When either sense lacked they were nearly vulnerable to anyone that was doing a sneak attack. Sight so much didn't matter for a few were pretty strong enough without.

Sango: I know this may be a big dent in your great pride; Sesshomaru-sama but Kagome, Kirara, and I are here to help you. We will find both of those cubs together. If you want that is. However, we do need your help and would appreciate it if you continue to look with us.

Sesshomaru: I agreed to looked for you kit till it was found and it seems that Rin has gone looking for him; thus, it would make sense to keep working together.

Sango: great then start looking for them now. (Dryly) I'm sure Kagome having trouble-keeping Kouga off her and Inuyasha off Kouga.

Sesshomaru: Indeed. (Getting up) Let go.

Thus, Sango and Sesshomaru along with Kirara walked back to camp. Where just as Sango had expected Kagome was being used as a tug-o-war rope between Inuyasha and Kouga. Miroku looked like he had gone back to sleep. Kouga of course couldn't talk so he still was growling as so was Inuyasha. It looked more like two dogs fighting over a T-bone steak to Sango. Sesshomaru just sent out a warning growl to notify them all of his return and that they should start searching.

This caused Kouga to coward up and let go of Kagome who Inuyasha was pulling at the moment so she slammed into his face. That when she noticed something she never had been. His nose was freezing cold.

Kagome: Inuyasha your nose is freezing. (Starts rubbing it with her hand) What happen? Are you sick? Your nose was never cold before.

Miroku: hmm? I thought youkias couldn't get sick?

Kagome: I thought you went back to sleep Miroku.

Miroku: I was avoiding any confrontation with these two. That's all.

Sango: figures.

Inuyasha: enough get your hand off my nose! I know it cold! That because I can't smell out of it anymore.

Kagome: you lost you sense of smell?

Inuyasha: (smirking) Yeah and I bet Sesshomaru here about to lose his too. Am I right big brother?

Sesshomaru: Inuyasha I …

Kagome: (now touching Sesshomaru's nose) Oh my god! Your nose is cold too! This can't be happening. How are we going to find Shippo and Rin now? (Yes, she was standing on her toes)

Sesshomaru: (growling) My nose is none of you concern miko. Remove your hand or I'll break it.

Inuyasha: aw, what's the matter Sesshomaru ya mad cause your all half helpless now? That's why you came back isn't it? You can't find the little midget on your own now. By tomorrow we'll both won't be able to smell our own top lip.

Kagome: Is this true Sesshomaru-sama?

Sesshomaru: (growling) yes! Damn it!

Sango: what about Kouga can he smell?

Miroku: if Inuyasha and (smugly) Sesshomaru can't smell a thing, why would Kouga? Hmm? Kouga.

Kagome: what are you pointing at Kouga?

Kouga was dancing around pointing across yonder near Sesshomaru's castle. Finally, when he got most of their attention did he start howling and growling that really caught Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's attention. {Rin has just set the forest ablaze}

Inuyasha: fire?

Sesshomaru: where?

Inuyasha: I don't smell any smoke.

Sesshomaru: of course you baka, but I can only faint. Damn it to hell

Miroku: I thought you were educated Sesshomaru? Why are you using that kind of language?

Sesshomaru: (Turning around to face Miroku) If you wish to die monk, I give you a cruse you won't be able to revert!

Miroku: Oh? (Sees Inuyasha winking at him and smirks)

Sango: MIROKU!

Kagome: Oh my god! That what she meant by magic fire sticks!

Inuyasha: Huh?

Kagome: Rin lit the forest the on fire with matches!

Sango: we got to get down there!

Sesshomaru: The winds are picking up it be dangerous.

Inuyasha: the smoke is too black. Damn I hope she's not down there.

Miroku: only one-way to know let's go.

Sango: Right. Kirara.

Inuyasha: No! We have to stay close to the ground!

Sesshomaru: The baka right.

Kagome: this can't get any worst.

Kouga now took matters into his own two paws and sped down there making his own semi whirlwind towards the flames. As the others were trying there best to get over there all on foot. Miroku and Sango on Kirara, Kagome on Inuyasha's back, and Sesshomaru running on his own. Kouga however started to used his jewel shard legs more and created a big whirlwind, leaving all of them in the dust. {Shippo and Rin are long gone from the forest by now}

Inuyasha: That baka wolf! What is he doing?

Sesshomaru: It seems he's trying to fan out some of the flames and smoke with his speed. (Running right besides Inuyasha)

Kagome: Kouga can be clever.

Inuyasha: It won't last for long.

Sesshomaru: Indeed.

The group made it to the still lightly burning forest. Kouga was already on all fours sniffing out all the debris. Funny he almost remind them on how Inuyasha looked when he did that that. Sesshomaru could still get some smells in but his nose was becoming weaker by the second. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku opted on calling out Rin's name, as Kirara joined Kouga sniffing about for the girl. Inuyasha was just using his ears like radars scanning for any small cries of help. The group followed the two youkias who could used their nose till they got to a lake much like the one the girls had bathed in. Sadly, though this is where all scents ended for too many scents of things like animals, youkias, and other forest things had fled by. Kouga and Kirara growled out in frustration though stopped when they both picked up a familiar but slight scent. With that, Kouga took to growling again.

Inuyasha: what's that? Shippo been here?

Sesshomaru: they found each other?

Inuyasha: how long ago was this? Speak clearer damn it!

Sesshomaru: A few minutes ago. Where they go?

Inuyasha: You stupid wolf! Whatdaya mean you lost their scents? What about you Kirara?

Sesshomaru: This is irritating. When I get my claws into either one of those….

Inuyasha: not if I get to them first.

Of course, Kagome and others didn't understand any of it as all four were growling like that had gone mad. Kagome was getting worried and wondering what on earth, they were all talking about. As Sango was telling to understand some of it, Miroku was trying to keep from laughing. Kagome couldn't take it anymore.

Kagome: Inuyasha! What is going on?

Inuyasha: Aw, the stupid wolf finally just found Shippo's scent and he's with Rin but he lost it because they must have ran across this lake with all the other animals and things.

Sango: At least they are together it will save us the trouble of splitting up now.

Kagome: I didn't want to do that either.

Sesshomaru: We shouldn't follow across this lake then. Perhaps they have left some clues or scent will come back. Move along wolf.

Kagome: Wait what about Jaken? Didn't you knocked him over here?

Everyone looks at Kagome like she lost her mind. Who cared if the Jaken laid burnt and dead it was his own fault. Not like Sesshomaru couldn't find a new talking imp/frog youkia to kiss his ass. Hopefully he would find one that could read the next time. Sesshomaru let out a sigh and touched his now frozen nose. It was useless now.

Sesshomaru: For his sake miko, lets hope he did died out here. It was far better than what I had plan for him if he ever crossed my path again.

And with that, the group headed along across the lake still looking for the two missing children. Who unknowingly to them where safe and sound for the moment and fast asleep in each other arms.

[Chapter fourteen ends]

~~Authoress notes: Ah, ha I tried doing other plot twist. How did you like it? Oh and before I get any reviews about oocness let me explain. First off, Sesshomaru does have a heart and is very capable of having and showing feelings. He does care a lot about Rin he is like a daughter too him. Secondly, Sango isn't really starting to have feelings for Sesshomaru she was just showing him some compassion because she really does feels sorry for him. Don't worry Miroku/Sango fans! There's no romance going on between Sesshomaru and Sango you can calm down now. Oh and yes, there is a slight change in Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's relationship but only a (keyword) slight change. Oh and if your wondering about the scent thing, that does happens to some dogs it depends on the breed, age, and climate their in. My uncle dogs loses their scent around the wintertime. That's were I got the idea. Anyway, leave me a review and thanks for reading!

[Next chapter(s): Will Kouga ever be able to speak or will they all have to keep treating him like Lassie? What will happen now that both brother have lost their ability to smell? When will Shippo and Rin be found? What was Shippo's plan anyway? Kikyo meets Rin? Shippo gets wounded? More action, adventure, drama, humor, and angst next time!]
