Scene 47 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day

* Sesshomaru comes out of the bedroom clutching at his sword. He pauses for a moment to stare at his unresponsive sleeping mate on the chais. The demon Lord had been up most of the night, trying to think of a different solution to this mess. He does not want to have to bow to whatever terms the wretched cat would demand before removing this curse. Would the traitorous demon ask him to give up his kingdom? The white demon moves closer, fingers tightening on his swordhilt. Would he be willing to throw his territory away for this hanyou? Sesshomaru pauses at the foot of the chais, considering this last question. With another growl the demon Lord moves around to the side of the chais and raises his sword to stare intently at his peaceful mate, the blade perched between his eyes, barely touching the tip of his nose. For several moments he waits, listening, watching. When nothing happens the Inu sighs and lowers the Tenseiga. There was no hum, no death imps. 'Of course it wouldn't work', he berates himself, 'Inuyasha's not dead, he's just...' Just then the bell chimes startling him out of his thoughts. Sesshomaru turns when he hears Jaken's screeching voice on the other side of the door.

Jaken- Oh, Lorrrddd Sessshooomaruuu!!

* Sesshomaru moans to himself.

Sesshomaru- Go away, Jaken!!
Kouga- Hey, Lord Stick-Up-Your-A--!! I was told I could come in...!

* As soon as Sesshomaru recognizes the wolf Prince's voice he moves to lay Tenseiga on his desk then turns.

Sesshomaru- Open.

* Kouga enters following Jaken.

Jaken- The wolf is here with some good news...
Sesshomaru- Leave us, Jaken.

* The toad looks up, then half glances toward Inuyasha.

Jaken- M'Lord, I owe you my life yet again...
Sesshomaru- Will I have to revive you.. yet again?

* Jaken squawks and quickly leaves, but before he can get the door shut Rin dodges past him, sidesteps around Kouga nervously, then races to hug her Lord.

Rin- Lord Sesshomaru!! I'm so glad you're okay! How are the puppies??
Sesshomaru- They are out in the garden playing. You may go play with them.
Rin- Yes, sir! I'll be real gentle with them!!

* He watches the young girl turn to look timidly toward Kouga, then she hurries out into the garden. Sesshomaru notices that Kouga is carrying a couple sacks and one is dribbling blood on his floor.

Sesshomaru- That better be a good sign. I'm not in the mood to deal with anymore bad news, Prince Kouga.

* Kouga is looking toward Inuyasha. He shakes himself and looks at Sesshomaru.

Kouga- He seems to be resting comfortably.. Was he hurt bad?

* Sesshomaru realizes that Kouga doesn't know the whole story.

Sesshomaru- Accourding to the curse.. he'll be doing so for a thousand years.

* Kouga looks back up at Sesshomaru.

Kouga- A.. Thousand years?

* Sesshomaru motions Kouga to follow him outside.

Sesshomaru- The smell of that blood in this confined space is sickening me.

* The white demon continues explaining as they go out into the garden where Rin is sitting near the playing puppies. She has a couple in her lap petting them.

Sesshomaru- One of the Cat Demons cursed him... We're trying to figure out another way to bring my mate back without having to grovel to the b------- that did this to him.
Rin- Lord Sesshomaru!!

* They both glance toward Rin who has one hand over one of each of the puppies ears that are in her lap. Sesshomaru sighs at her scowl then turns to look at Kouga again.

Kouga- Hey, maybe my Father can think of something... He's inherited some special talents through his ancestral line...
Sesshomaru- How long would it take you to find out?
Kouga- I can be at the home cave within a week with my speed..
Sesshomaru- If he can help I will greatly reward your clan...
Kouga- Ahh. Speaking of rewards...

* Kouga motions Sesshomaru over to the patio table. He lays the larger of the two bags on the table, then lifts the smaller bag.

Kouga- The dragons found that baby this morning.. It reeked of Naraku... It was being guarded by three others, an albino demoness, a young human boy.. No doubt under Naraku's spell, and some weird, creepy boy demon... Since your orders were to get this baby at all costs, the dragons had to kill those three in a battle. Seems the human boy was only kept alive by a shard of this jewel...

* Kouga reveals the darkened, nearly complete orb he was carrying in a pouch. For a couple moments neither of them move as they stare at the Shikon Jewel. Curious about the silence, Rin stands up and comes over. She scowls at the small dripping bag that Kouga has lowered at his side once more. Rin glances from the wolf to Sesshomaru, then she sees the glowing orb.

Rin- Ohh, how pretty!!

* Before either demon can react Rin takes the jewel from Kouga to hold it admiringly in both of her hands.

Kouga- Hey,...
Sesshomaru- Rin,...

* They all grow quiet in amazement as a swirling pink energy raises up to totally engulf the young human girl. Sesshomaru and Kouga both become mezmerized by the brilliant light show. It only lasts for a couple moments, though, before the aura siphons back into the jewel. When Sesshomaru sees that it is a pearlescent pink color once more he reaches down and takes it from Rin gently.


Sesshomaru- I'll deal with this.. bauble later.

* He quickly stuffs it into a pocket of his robe and looks at Kouga once more.

Kouga- I have a couple shards of that in my legs...
Sesshomaru- Finish your account, Wolf.

* Kouga leans to open the bag on the table after he gives Sesshomaru the smaller bag.

Kouga- The heart stopped beating halfway here and this thing finally shut up.

* When Rin sees Naraku's head she turns and quickly goes back to the puppies. Sesshomaru reaches into the bag and removes Naraku's bloody heart. The Inu scowls at the fowl stench. Sesshomaru then snatches Naraku's head up by his black hair. Kouga follows the angered demon Lord over to the Koi pond.

Sesshomaru- This will be for both my mate, Inuyasha, and I... As well as for the rest of our land that you've terrorized!

* Sesshomaru throws the heart down on the ground. As soon as it makes the wet splatting sound Naraku's eyes open and Sesshomaru holds the head up. The demon stares coldly at the severed head that begins to warn him arrogantly not to harm his heart further.


Sesshomaru- Die, vermin.. permanently!

* The head gives a last scream as Sesshomaru's foot stomps on the heart that had started beating rapidly once more. Naraku continues screaming as Sesshomaru's foot grinds it under his sole, enjoying the sound of it squishing. It soon grows still and Naraku's screams finally stop, but Sesshomaru continues to rub and grind his foot, making sure that there is nothing but bloody pulp beneath his feet. Kouga smirks and crosses his arms when Naraku's head finally disintegrates into ashes that blow out onto the Koi pond. As the fish roil the surface in their frenzy to eat the scattered ashes Sesshomaru shows no emotion as he uses the foot to scoot the small bloody puddle, that was once a heart, off the shore and into the pond. Kouga moves up beside Sesshomaru. Both demons watch the feeding frenzy continue until finally the pond surface is still as glass once more.

Sesshomaru- Finally.. (Quietly) If only Inuyasha could have...
Kouga- I'm going right now to go see Father. When I return I'll give you my two shards..
Sesshomaru- Keep them for all I care.

* Kouga watches Sesshomaru move to sit on the bench beside the pond wearily.

Kouga- I'll return as soon as I can.

* Sesshomaru watches Kouga leave by leaping over the garden's wall, then hears the sound of his tornado take off on the other side. The Lord gives a deep quiet sigh. After a moment he gives a sniff then scowls and looks down at his blood-soiled boot.

Sesshomaru- Uhh, that stench.

* Sesshomaru removes the boot, tosses it to the side, then uses a couple flicks of his poison whip to completely disintegrate the boot. When the air is clean once more he hears his pups begin to whimper and looks toward them. They are all nudging at Rin, searching. Sesshomaru knows immediately what they are looking for.

Rin- What do they want?


* Sesshomaru stands and moves to gather four of them up.

Sesshomaru- Can you bring those three?
Rin- Yes, Sir.
Sesshomaru- They are hungry. They need to nurse from Inuyasha, still.

* Rin gathers the other three puppies up and follows Sesshomaru back into the suite. She watches him lay his armload of pups on the chais, then work Inuyasha's robe open to reveal his tits. Rin blushes slightly as she places her three on the lounger so they can join their littermates.

Rin- My little brothers and sisters are so cute.. Elder Purrie saved their lives and mine, too... But he couldn't have held them off much longer if Lord Inuyasha hadn't shown up.

* Sesshomaru glances down at her, then sighs.

Sesshomaru- I need to go get put another pair of boots on. Watch them while I do so, Rin.

* The young girl nods and Sesshomaru heads toward the bedroom.

I hope that end (!) to Naraku was good enough. I tend to not give the 'bad guys' too much honor in their passing. But yet, I wanted this guy's end to be somewhat gruesome. Still more to this story, though...
