InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The True Purpose ❯ Scene 22 ( Chapter 22 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
Try to keep in mind, Sesshomaru is a full 'DOG' demon. I tend to portray each demon's mannerisms or natures as governed by the same rules as their animal counterparts, if you will, if the character is animal-based. Just a bit more civilized (?)

Scene 22 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Two Days Later

* Sesshomaru stands at the glass doors, looking out into the garden where Inuyasha, once again clad in his Fire Rat outfit, is lounging in a tree. Sesshomaru probes the hanyou's thoughts a moment, then sighs, and goes out to stand calmly under the tree. Inuyasha glances an acknowledgement of his presence, but remains silent.

Sesshomaru-
How long are you going to stay up there, Pup?
Inuyasha- (Quietly) Are you going to order me to come down?

* The Inu Lord hesitates, then quietly moves to sit on a bench next to the Koi pond. Inuyasha slowly looks toward Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru feels the hanyou's longing to be 'closer' to his Alpha.

Sesshomaru-
If you feel so, why are you avoiding me?

* Inuyasha just looks away.

Sesshomaru-
I can order you to tell me.

* Inuyasha swallows, but finally speaks.

Inuyasha-
(Quietly) I.. I loved mother.. and she died... Then I.. got close to Kikyo.. and she died...
Sesshomaru- So now you think I will die?
Inuyasha- No, Sessh... You're too strong to die... I think.. it's just my fate to.. be alone... again...
Sesshomaru- You have not been alone since that weird Priestess girl came through that well, Little Brother.

* Sesshomaru half glances up at his brother when he feels Inuyasha's slight surprise that he would know about Kagome's time-traveling. Inuyasha then gathers himself, 'Feh, figures he would know, though...'

Inuyasha-
She's not going to be around forever.
Sesshomaru- No.. But I will be here for much longer.. Not forever, perhaps, but I plan on having a much longer life.

* Inuyasha closes his eyes. Sesshomaru looks back down into the clear waters of the pond, watching the fish skitter and swim in its depths.

Sesshomaru-
(Quietly) I do not please you.

* Inuyasha looks at his brother quickly.

Inuyasha-
That's not it! (Quieter) You're doing everything a.. proper Inu alpha is supposed to do..

* After a moment, Inuyasha drops down and goes over to stand beside his brother. When the demon Lord looks up at him, Inuyasha slowly sinks to sit and hug one of his knees.

Inuyasha-
I'm yours. I was created to be yours. I will belong to you until.. I die... Which will no doubt be long before you do. I'll bear you many pups...
Sesshomaru- your feelings can no longer be hid from me, mate... I can feel the sorrow stinging inside you.. Your words are true, but they don't come from your heart.
Inuyasha- This has nothing to do with my.. heart... My heart is too.. human.. to have any part in this.

* Sesshomaru looks down at Inuyasha, studying him as he continues.

Inuyasha-
As long as I keep it out of the way and just.. continue obeying my demon instincts...
Sesshomaru- Pup, shut up.

* Inuyasha quiets at the soft order. After a moment, Sesshomaru moves down to sit behind his mate. As soon as he pulls Inuyasha back into his embrace he feels the hanyou relax and snuggle closer to the contact. Suddenly, Sesshomaru realizes where he has been failing.

Sesshomaru-
Inuyasha,...

* Inuyasha places his head up under Sesshomaru's chin.

Inuyasha-
Alpha.
Sesshomaru- I believe I know the reason for your depression.

* Sesshomaru closes his eyes and concentrates. Soon his aura swells up and surrounds them in a dazzling blue light. At first, the half demon is puzzled, but soon Sesshomaru feels Inuyasha relax. It isn't long until he slips into a deep sleep. Sesshomaru glances down when he hears his brother murmur in his sleep.

Inuyasha-
(Murmured) Sessh,... love you...

* Sesshomaru scrunches his brows. Then he looks back into the pond and continues 'feeding' small amounts of his energy to the pups developing inside his young mate. When he's given them enough, he gathers Inuyasha up and carries him back into their suite.
