InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Tragedy's Romance ❯ fate you say? ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: I do not own or profit off of the characters of Inuyasha. *Sigh*
on that note I know Sesshomarou may be a bit OOC, its hard to keep him all cold and stoic when I am trying to make him fall in love. (looks over to Sesshy) and I know a OC may be a bit out of taste for you guys, but I sincerely hope you give it a try and maybe you all will enjoy it! Arigatou Gozaimasu.

The sky had darkened to a deep shade of violet. Night was soon to set upon the small group.
Kagome sat next to the little neko yokai, patting it gently while it purred. Her eyes wandered the beautiful horizon, gazing at the deepening shades of the night. She watched the small children sleeping peacefully on Ah-Un, the two-headed dragon snoozing along gently with them. Keiko had brought them over to Sesshomarou's dragon as the sun began to set low on the horizon. Both kids rubbing their eyes tiredly, barely able to keep them open. Now the three of them lay together peacefully, Ah-Un wrapped protectively around the children, all enjoying a peaceful slumber.
Kagome's dark eyes glanced back to her cousin in the distance, seeing her form sitting gently in the crook of the branches of one of the taller Sakura tress. Kagome felt a soft pang in her hearts realizing what her cousin was doing in the trees, wanting to go and comfort her and tell her to stop crying. But soon thought better of that idea and decided it was best to let the girl mourn alone for a while. She needed to release her sadness, if she ever wanted to move on again.

---------------------------******-----------------------
Inuyasha sat on the hill overlooking the Sakura glen, where his mate's cousin sat. He looked to the left to see his brother not to far from him staring in the same direction, as he was a moment before. A soft breeze blew and Inuyasha smelt the salt of tears mixed in with the sweet smelling blossoms. His eyes moved back to look at the girl, his keen sight allowing him to see the girls form shuddering gently in the trees, when his ear picked up a growl of displeasure from his left.
Inuyasha turned to see his brother with a grand look of distaste on his face. Inuyasha let out a snort of disgust, figuring his brothers disdain was for the human girl's emotions. Sesshomarou turned quickly realizing he was no longer alone. His cold gaze moved to meet his hanyou brother's glare of disgust, no expression visible on the taiyokai's face.
“It's not like she can help it. She's still a pup compared to us, and now all she has left is Kagome.” the hanyou said gruffly. For a short instance he thought he saw a glimmer of sadness in his brother's eyes, but the moment he tried to search for it he only saw the same cold gaze.
“Weak humans.” was all Sesshomarou uttered as he walked further down the hill, away from his half-demon brother. Inuyasha let out a loud snort of disgust as he walked back to Kagome.
”Stupid Taiyokai!”, he growled out.
------------------------***************--------------------------- ----
Sesshomarou moved gracefully down the hill taking a seat at the bottom, out of the piercing gaze of his younger brother. A slight tingle of nervousness rushing through his body, maybe the hanyou would why he was observing the girl so intently. Had Inuyasha seen the pained expression on his face as his emotionless mask faltered for but a second?
He mentally shook himself, brushing off the panic turning his gaze back to Keiko crying softly in the trees. He felt his yokai begin to rise within him, urging him to go comfort her and stop her tears. The smell of the salt displeasing Sesshomarou to no end.
“What are you doing sitting here while she is in need of your comfort!”, his yokai growled at him. A sharp ripple of surprise crashing through his otherwise stoic form. The young girl was only a human, a mere child when compared to his years, but his yokai was ignoring his rationale telling him that the girl was no child and was his to protect.
Sesshomarou shut his eyes trying to focus in his haze of confusion. It was as if the girl had already been claimed by his yokai and he couldn't understand how or why?
Another soft gust of wind brought Sesshomarou out of his deep thoughts, his keen sense of smell picking up Keiko's sweet smell laced with the salt of her tears. A soft growl escaped his mouth as he restrained himself from automatically running over to the girl.
*******light lime********
His mind drifted to thoughts of holding her in his arms tight, her body pressed firmly to his, his hands free to roam over her young body.
Quickly his mind drifted to far more sensual thoughts, of her warm, innocent body in his bed. The silken sheets caressing her nude form, her pinned beneath his body. He so vividly saw her beautiful face, her sweet mouth moaning out his name with reckless abandon. He saw her pale skin greet his as he held her tight. His yokai raging as he claimed her.

”…..s..Sesshomarou? I'm sorry, Miroku and Sango have arrived, and everyone says they are ready to go. Rin and Shippo have awakened and they both want to go with Ah~Un.”
Sesshomarou was shaken from his thoughts just to see the object of his desires standing in front of him. Her cheeks were still damp with her tears and he could see the exhaustion in her face. He nodded quietly and rose walking behind the girl as she walked up the hill. He thanked the gods for his ability to hide his emotions, his want for the girl still running rampant. His eyes drifted towards the priestess and her lover.

”Okay, me and Inuyasha will go Rin, Sesshomarou will take care of them and Ah~Un, and Sango and Miroku can go on Kirara, and I am sure Keiko wouldn't be to much weight?' Kagome said softly. She looked over to her cousin standing in front of the taiyoukai. A small smile crossed the girl's lips as she tried hard to hide her sadness.
Rin and Shippo ran over to the girl and hugged her tight.
”Rin and I are going on Ah~Un,” the little kitsune said as he pointed to the two headed dragon. “If Sesshomarou says its okay we want you to come with us too! Ah~Un is strong enough and we promise to be good! Please??!?!?!”, the kit said rapidly, both of the children tugging gently on her hands.
Keiko turned her violet eyes to the yokai looking for his answer. His golden gaze drifted down to his ward, looking up at him pleadingly. Rin rarely asked for things, and even more rarely attached herself to someone other then him. Feeling his own resolve melting, wanting the beautiful girl near him as well. He nodded his consent quietly and the group began shuffling about getting ready to leave.
Before long the kids had their heads settled in Keiko's lap, as they flew smoothly over the rest of the group. She sang a soft lullaby not wanting to disturb the demon lord behind her. Shippo's soft breathing was enough to tell her the kit was fast asleep.
But little Rin turned to look up at her, her sleepy eyes staring affectionately as Keiko.
”What do you think of Sesshomarou~Sama?”, the little girls asked quietly. The yokai heard his wards question and perked up trying to remain as though he was to lost in thought to listen to what the girls were saying. Keiko smiled down at the little girl.
”Mmh, Rin that's a funny question to ask, but if you want to know I can tell you I think many things of your Sesshomarou~sama.”, Keiko whispered gently as she leaned closer to the girl thinking Sesshomarou heard nothing of what she said.
”Would you stay at our palace, Keiko~Sama? Maybe you and my lord can be married like Inuyasha and Kagome?”, the little girl whispered softly to the older girl leaning over her. Keiko couldn't help the blush rising in her cheeks at what the little girl said. “Oh, Rin~chan…. I do not know about that. I would say, I am nowhere near the ladies that are at Sesshomarou~Sama's court, I would be nothing compared to their beauty. But you should quiet down now and go to sleep. It is far too late for my little Rin to be awake.”, she whispered softly, trying hard to hide the nerve the little girl hit. She found the yokai to be far beyond handsome, and his manner was so intriguing. If he were to hold her in his arms she was afraid she would die from the joy.
The small girl smiled up at her, “You are more beautiful then any of the demonesses in our court. Sesshomarou could tell you that. And I like you much more then any of them.”, the little girl whispered before she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Keiko let out a soft sigh of relief, at least she wasn't being barraged by more of the child's curious questions. What did she think of the taiyokai? Could he love her the way Inuyasha loved Kagome? She shook her head gently brushing the thoughts away. There was no way he would find her more beautiful then what was in his own palace. A soft gasp escaped her lips as she felt a hand touch her shoulder.
”Are the children asleep?”, a deep velvety voice asked her. She turned to see the yokai looking at her with his golden gaze. She nodded her head gently in affirmation.
His heart was beating fast in his chest as his hands touched her gently, it was all he could do from grabbing her and telling Ah~Un to take care of the children while he went off with her. A small smile appeared on his face as he thought back to how well she had answered Rin, not answering the child completely and leaving his imagination to wander. “Thank you for taking care of my ward, she seems to have taken a great liking to you. She usually doesn't take to quickly to many, she is scared to lose the people she loves and she tries to keep her distance. She was orphaned, and now she is my responsibility.” He said as he pulled her gently from the children so he could lay his pelt over them. Keiko nodded slowly, her own loss making tears rise in her eyes. She looked back at the little children, both of them one and the same, orphans of fate. She looked back at Sesshomarou, his eyes looking at her a little differently, the stoic yokai that was presented to her when she first met him, replaced by someone more… caring?
Sesshomarou saw the tears glistening in her eyes and instinctively held her closer, hugging her tightly, her sobs broke anew as he started to comfort her. His hands running gently through her hair. “Please stop crying, the,,, the smell of your tears…upsets me.” He said gently.
Keiko stopped crying, realizing that he was holding her tight to him. Her violet eyes looking up at him suddenly, a bright blush coming across her cheeks.
”Mmh, I am glad you stopped, but you must promise me not to tell Inuyasha how soft I was, or he will never let me live it down. Or rather, never believe you.” , he said softly a smile on his face. His body struggled to contain itself as her smell intoxicated him, her soft form pressed tight to his. Her sweet mouth opened in a small o of surprise.
”I .. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to start crying like that. I promise not to say a word.” She said softly. Her eyes unable to move from his handsome face.
Sesshomarou tried to use his better sense and tell himself that it was a human girl in his arms, a human girl who was weak and probably would never be able to protect herself on her own, that she was weak and emotional and nothing like the inu demonesses back at his palace. But his yokai rose up swiftly shoving his rationale back down his throat.
“And what if she is human? If she becomes your mate she is yours to protect, your responsibility to keep from danger. And all those other, filthy demonesses want is to bed you and have the title of Lady of The West, nothing more, they would scorn your human ward, and would never be the mate you need. She, she could love you, and care for your ward, and be a mother to your pups. She would risk her life for you given the opportunity to love you. And how do you know she is weak? You have yet to see her in battle, you have yet to see her power!” Sesshomarou sat in shocked silence in his mind. Never before had his inner yokai risen like this outside of battle, adamant about telling him what is correct for him. Ignoring his cool judgment and telling him he was a fool.
”How do you know she would love me? How do you know she isn't as conniving as those other haughty tramps in my court? And what is this you say about power? She is human, if a demon came now she wouldn't be able to hold her own!” , he growled back.
”Ehehehehe, you know nothing of fate, you know nothing of destiny. Just listen to me and follow what you know is right. Forget these foolish prejudices you try and implement on yourself. You already care for the smaller human. And soon you will care even more for the girl in your arms.” , and with that his yokai silenced itself moving back into the recesses of his mind. Sesshomarou was at a lost for words. What in the name of Kami could his Yokai be talking about. He felt eyes looking up at him slightly perplexed, and afraid, and he looked down to see the beautiful creature in his arms.
”Forgive me Sesshomarou~Sama… you started growling and I became frightened.” she said quickly, seeing him return to normal. He smiled down gently at her looking at her pretty mouth hungrily. His mouth aching to brush over hers.
”I was just deep in thought, my apologies. We are neared to my fortress now, it seems as though Ah~Un has flown more then efficiently. The others will be there shortly and we will follow up soon.”, he said softly.
Keiko moved to open her mouth and reply but was shocked into silence as she felt a warm set of lips press against her. Her body stiffened slightly, then she realized who it was kissing her, her heart beginning to pound furiously in her chest. Her body relaxed against his and she returned the kiss gently, her eyes closing to enjoy the ecstasy she was feeling. She felt his hands slide gently to pull her closer into the kiss when a soft growl escaped his mouth and he pulled back. He looked at her, the pretty flush in her pale face. Her lips still so inviting, but he knew he had to stop himself before he went to far. He smiled gently down at her and wrapped his hands around her waist turning her to see his fortress.
”We have arrived.”, he whispered gently into her ear. Keiko looked at the silvery white city made even more majestic by the moonlight washing over it.
All words leaving her as she saw the yokai's home.

So yet again another chapter completed… I sincerely hope you're enjoying it as much as I am writing. I know it may be a bit out of taste to have Sesshy with a made up character but it was what I wanted to do. I would truly appreciate any feedback so far, just to get and idea on what I may be doing wrong.
Any who… what is Sesshomarou's yokai talking about? Fate? Destiny? Power?
Will they fall in love or is it just a temporary fling? When will everyone finally starts preparing for a wedding? When will a lemon finally appear? Eheh

until the next chapter. Ja ne
