InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Torn ❯ Inconvenient ( Chapter 2 )

A.N. Wow I didn't expect so many people to enjoy my fic. Since everyone wants me to continue, I guess I will. This chapter is last chapter from Sesshoumaru's point of view and it will go a bit farther. I'm eager to know what you think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha & Co. All I own is the key to the dark closet they're locked in.

*2 Inconvenient*

~Sesshoumaru~

Pathetic. The fool thought he could actually defeat this Sesshoumaru.

I skimmed his inanimate form making sure he was indeed perished.

No heartbeat.

No breath.

No life.

Perfect.

Inuyasha's sad excuse for a life is now over. Now I can take what is rightfully mine.

An abrupt scent of cherry blossoms and jasmine assaults my nose. It's apparently my former brothers wench.

I knew she was close by to begin with and her look of shock made it obvious that she had witnessed my accomplishment.

I watch intently as she neglects to acknowledge my presence and approach the obsolete being before me.

How vapid. This miko was put to such a waste, following that hanyou everywhere.

I withstand my gaze on her as she falls to her knees and surveys the no longer Inuyasha. I come close to laughing at how banal and pitiful she looks covered in his blood.

Humans. Repulsive, inane fools who let their sentiments overpower their overall judgments.

A vision of Rin comes to my mind. My young ward, she is no different from any other human but she is still young and because of that I can make her into a respectable being in time.

My attention returns to the miko. There's something missing………tears. The pungent scent has yet to met my nose. Was I mistaken to think that she had feelings for the hanyou.

"Why?" I hear her ask as she gets back on her feet and turn to stare at me.

How dull. Does she dare expect this Sesshoumaru to answer to a weak being as herself or is she merely mourning for the hanyou. I wish to know.

"Were you speaking to me miko?" I ask maintaining my stoical features.

She fails to answer me instead she attempts to intimidate me with an unwavering glare. I return the glare with more intensity reminding her that she has no effect on me.

Her legs react by trembling but she continues to stare into my eyes.

Fascinating.

"Kill me." she voices.

How utterly amusing, I can't detain the crucial smirk that appears on my face. So she has given up hope for her own existence. She did have feelings for the half-breed.

Though, there are still no tears.

Her eyes are closed now, convincing me that she is truly serious about her request.

She could prove to be quite entertaining, almost intriguing because she is able to make this Sesshoumaru curious.

I step behind her and brush her neck slightly, leading her to believe that I will fulfill her request.

"You haven't yet shed a tear for my brothers slain. Tell me why."

She cringes as I continue to tempt her with death, gracing my knuckle against her pulse.

She seems to hesitate to answer almost as if she herself doesn't have a known response.

My patience is growing weary as I roughly grab her neck. I still want a response.

"Kill me," she repeats.

Now I'm annoyed. A growl escapes my chest but I keep my composure as I speak.

"You capture my interest young miko."

I give her time to think about my comment but not enough for it to truly seep in.

I push my thumb firmly against her pressure point and she falls limply into my arms. I snicker and think of what exactly I am to do with her. Those thoughts can come later, now I will take what is mine.

I place the unconscious miko a good distance away from Inuyasha's extinct form. I reproach his body anticipating how my fathers' fang will feel when finally in my grasp.

Amazing, even in his death he clenches the Tetsusiaga with a fierce grip.

Not fierce enough dear brother.

I gracefully kneel down to attain the precious sword, unexpectedly the sword deflects my hand sending searing pain up my right limb just as it did the first time I tried to claim it.

Not possible.

My brothers' death should result in the demon seal breaking.

This has turned out to be a great inconvenience. I look back at the miko as she begins to stir then become still once more.

It seems that the miko will have more purpose that one. She was able to withdraw my fathers' fang from its post when neither my brother nor I were capable of doing so. I will force her to break the seal if she refuses, consequences will be dire.

I'm positive that she has the abilities of doing such things.

I pace back to the miko and pull her over my shoulder, having her head lean against my tail.

I pause as two distinct scents wander to my nostrils.

My servant and ward seem to be approaching at a fast pace. I inhale again to verify if there is danger.

None.

Seconds later I see Rin with Jaken close behind her. Another idea comes to surface.

"Rin, stop." she obeys without a second thought.

"Jaken." I enunciate as he courses his way to me out of breath.

"Yes Master Sesshoumaru?" he answers.

"Incinerate Inuyasha with your staff then summon the wind to cool the area so human feet may grace upon it. Do not question my command just obey it. Do it now."

I watch as he is ready to question me even after I told him not to but he quickly nods and does as ordered. He has a bad habit of questioning my authority. Other than that and his annoying way of bootlicking, he can be quite useful.

My gaze returns to Rin who is frozen in place, a permanent grin is plastered on her face. She's far enough to not see the actions being down behind me.

Her bright eyes dim slightly as the putrid smell of burning flesh reaches her nose, yet her smile remains as she waits for my command for her to move.

Innocence. Something she will always be guilty of having.

I hear Jaken chant a few words causing the winds to blow whipping my hair from side to side.

Absently I cover the miko's bare skin with my tail. Almost as if protecting her from the harsh winds. I snicker at the thought alone.

The powerful wind dissipated to a calm breeze and I turn around to see how the area looks.

The ground is clear of Inuyasha's remains but the fang is still intact, just as I expected.

"I have done what you asked Master Sesshoumaru. What, may I ask, are you going to do now?"

I ignore his feeble minded question.

"Rin, come" I command

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin missed her Lord, so Rin came to see what he was up to." she chided as if nothing happened.

"Rin, I have a task for you." I inform her, she nods happily. "Go and pick up that sword. I am giving you the responsibility of carrying that until we reach my territory. Understood?"

I already know she will be more that happy to service me in any way.

"Of course Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin will not let you down."

She skips to the Tetsusiaga and picks it up without a problem, then looks directly at me for assurance.

I nod.

Before I turn to lead the way I spot her pick something else up and slide it into her kimono.

I think nothing of it. She always picks things up from the ground.

"Let's go Rin, Jaken walk behind and be alert of enemies."

I'm surprised to have not received any questions about the dangling miko. Good.

It should stay that way.

*~*~*

A.N. Well you asked for it. I don't think it's as good as the first chapter, but its hard to be in Sesshoumaru's mind. He's so unreadable. Anyway please review!
