Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Tree and the Well: What Was Left Unsaid. ❯ Death and a New Case ( Chapter 4 )

Time stay still for no one, it march on and unknown path to and unknown point. Inuyasha had taught Shippou to be the young demon male that he is today. The two brothers had finally come to an understanding and no longer feel the need to kill one another. Keada died some years ago. Miroku and Sango married and had children of their own, with their first born being a girl, which Sango saw as the gods repaying her for putting up with Miroku. They two have long since past, only their line remains; that and the well and the tree. The holly tree, that where you go to find Inuyasha, that's where he keeps his watch from. That's where his bloody palm rest against, he has to make it to the well. Narku wasn't as dead as they thought he was; his demon allies had come for the village, for him, for revenge. With the help of his brother and from Kougo's troops they had defeated them … for now. Now that the battle was done Inuyasha had no choice but to go and meet his fate. He had held it off far too long now and fate was tried of waiting.

The well was in view now, its empty bottom waiting for him, yes a few more step and he would be home.

"INU-YASH-A" cried out Sesshoumaru as he followed his brother's trail, come up to the well; he looked inside to his brother's dyeing form.

"Inuyasha?" he asked when he hit bottom "Let's get you out of here and clean up."

"No, Sess, my time is now, … please let me be with her for one last time." Inuyasha moaned.

Sesshoumaru nodded, and held back his tears. His brother was dyeing soon he would the only one left of his family.

"Sess," Inuyasha whispered, "promise me that … that you'll take care of Shippou for me, he'll be lost now that I'm gone," and small smile graced his lips "Kagome would kill me if she found out that I did anything to harm him. And Sess, marry. I know that Rin's passing took most of your already small heart but please, not let father's blood end with us. Sesshoumaru please, live, you can't hid in pain, trust me I know. Tell them good bye for me… brother." And with that he was gone. Inuyasha, the protector of young Tokyo was dead.

"You found him" cheered Shipou as he ran to Sesshomaru who was hold Inuyasha form as he walked into the camp. He stopped when the scent of death hit him.

Kougo looked at the elder inu and asked what the young fox could not "Is he dead?"

Sesshomaru nodded, and Shippou broke down and cried, but nothing could bring him back, and yet…

Inuyasha's soulless eyes shot open and a blue light covered his form. From his body a small ball of light shot forth, before diving into to half dart back into his form the other darting off, back to the well, and all of this went unnoticed by the grieving group.

Inuyasha was buried under his tree. The Gods Tree and the well was made into a shrine for the villages fallen hero, a shrine that stand to this day.

!@#$%^&(&*)

"NOOoooo" cried Kagome, she could feel him he was so close, he needed her, he was hurt and she knew it, but she couldn't reach him. It had been two months since the well had sealed itself; she had tried many times since then to get back to him all ending in failure. But now even with the pulsing ach in her side right where the scare is from the jewel she was trying to get to him, she was trying to get to her heart.

!@#$%^&(*)

"Tell me again why we are here?" asked Yusuke to Koenma.

"Because the fate of both world rest on this case!" growled Koenma.

"What else is new?" sighed Yusuke.

"Any way here's the deal, a demon group known as the Spiders are trying to find a sword known as the… as the…" Koenma pause in his debriefing to shift though the papers on his desk try to find the swords name "Tetsusaiga, a quit powerful demon sword known to kill a thousand demons in one blow. If the Spiders get their hands on this sword they could rule the Spirit World easily, and if they wanted to they could use that power to rule the human world as well. And then its back to the good old day, this demon lord doesn't like that they fight kill a few thousand mortal … destroy the plant, do you see where I'm going with this?"

"So what all we have to do is watch the vault, and wait for them?" asks Yusuke.

"I wish it was that simple, the sword belongs to the Inu-Cona line," explains Koenma.

"Lords of the Western Lands?" asks Kurama

"Yes, one in the same; the sword was last known to be with the youngest of InuTaisho boys, named Inuyasha."

"The half-breed?" asked Hiei.

"Yes, he died roughly 250 years ago taking the where about of the sword with. How ever there are two people that may know where he hid it. The first is the elder brother Sesshoumaru, the two of never liked one another but if push came to shove he might have told him. Next is Shippou and fox demon that Inuyasha raised as his own, unfortunately he is no where to be found of this, it's like he just disappeared one day," sighed Koenma.

"So you want us to talk to Sesshoumaru then?" question Hiei to which Koenma nodded.

"Is that wise? He's not known for his hospitality you know," replied Kurama.

"May be not but he's the only lead we have for now, he lives just out side of Toyko, hopeful he'll give you some clues as to where look for the Tetsusaiga or Shippou. Good luck," Koenma sent them off.
