Lord Touga and Inuyasha were brought to the infirmary that had survived most of the battle, and Lord Touga was debriefed on all that had happened during his 50-year slumber. By the end of the retelling, Touga was furious. If his youki was intact he would kill the advisers. He couldn’t believe they wanted to blame his demise on a child. Inuyasha hadn’t even been 150 years of age at the time. He was surprised to learn of how he and Sesshomaru had come into contact with each other and even more so at what they told him of Inuyasha’s and Tsukihime’s relationship. He didn’t know what he would do with the advisers, it wasn’t like he was the king anymore anyway. Sesshomaru would have to abdicate and return the throne to him, but the lord wouldn’t force him to do that.
Lord Touga began to tell them what happened the night he found Inuyasha.
He had been shocked to learn that his mother had died, and his relatives had cast him out. Inuyasha was sent to a foster home but had run away. Touga was having a hard time tracking the boy. He couldn’t pinpoint his location because he was bounced around so much, even placing a hold on him didn’t work. He didn’t want people to know Inuyasha was his child until the boy was in his custody. For 100 years he tried to find the boy to no avail. That is until Inuyasha had first been arrested for illegal activity. That’s when he learned about the Hazukiikka. He then started investigating, targeting them specifically because they had his child. Eventually, he was able to find where Inuyasha was and raided the hideout. The dragon Ryuukoutsusei fought him directly, with the help of his second in command as the others fled. When he was finally able to defeat them, Inuyasha and two other kids looked ready to fight him as well.
“I finally found you Inuyasha.” He whispered quietly. This shocked the young hanyou who back peddled. The children tried to fight him, and Inuyasha tried to help. “What kind of criminal have they turned you into son? I’ve been looking for you for so long.” Inuyasha flinched, his eyes widening in shock.
“W-what are you talking about...?” Inuyasha back peddled more, the other children following his lead.
“I’m your father Inuyasha.” Inuyasha shook his head slowly and growled. He didn’t have a father. If he did his name was Ryuukoutsusei. They all attacked him then, not willing to give up even against his powerful youkai. He eventually grabbed Inuyasha by his hair, but the dragon child merely cut it to free him with a hot blade. The two tailed fox kit tried to help but the lord quickly tossed him aside.
Touga shook his head thinking about what had happened only a few short hours ago to him. “After I handled the two brats that kept attacking me, he sort of freaked out. His youkai was going haywire, so I set Tetsuaiga to help him control it. But when I did that, he hit me with something, and it burned like hell. Then I lost consciousness and woke to that mess.” Touga was still surprised to learn that he’d been asleep for 50 years. He realized that so many things might have changed in that time.
“So, all those laws you passed…about the kids…were for Inuyasha…?” Sesshomaru questioned. “Why didn’t you tell me…?” Sesshomaru’s chest stung.
“I don’t know. I guess I didn’t wish for you to react negatively towards him. He is a half-demon, that many people will scorn, but it isn’t his fault. Mayhaps I became too wrapped up in my own thoughts.” Touga pondered why he hadn’t told his son about his brother. Lord Touga looked at his son’s left arm, “He got you pretty good huh?” They had informed him of how Inuyasha was classified by other hanyou. “Seems like all of this has been caused by my secrecy. I should have been more forthcoming. Let’s hope he wakes soon.”
Inuyasha remained asleep for weeks as the castle was repaired, and the dust settled. Lord Touga was on his way to visit him for the first time in a long while, when a servant came barreling from the doors. “He woke up!” She near shouted when she saw him. He rushed in, his youki having made a near complete recovery. He opened the door to see Inuyasha sitting up and staring out of the window. His hair was still black, and he remained human for all this time. They weren’t sure he would ever recover.
Inuyasha looked out the window with a blank expression, already realizing what had happened, not even needing to see his hair to confirm it. The utter silence in his head told him enough. He heard steps approaching, “I am glad to see you up Inuyasha. We feared that the seal was transferred to you for a time.” Touga took a seat next to him but Inuyasha didn’t turn to face him or speak.
“Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru joined them quickly, leaving his duties when he was told of his waking.
Inuyasha didn’t respond and continued staring out the window watching the servants work. “Inuyasha, can you hear us?” He said nothing as he continued to stare, Touga reached out to him caressing his hair. “You look just like her…your mother.”
“Inuyasha, I’m sorry.” Sesshomaru spoke quietly.
Inuyasha continued to watch the workers. He felt numb. He wasn’t angry, he wasn’t sad, he wasn’t anything. He wanted to leave and go far away. The servant walked back in with water for Inuyasha. She set it down and bowed to the two lords but was stopped when Inuyasha finally spoke, “Excuse me miss.”
The servant looked at Inuyasha then at the two lords, “Y-yes?”
“Where’s Tsukihime…Lady Tsukihime.” He corrected himself.
She looked between them again, “I believe she’s in her sky palace.”
“Why is she there? She hates it there. I thought she would be in the library…” Inuyasha said quietly his voice rough from lack of use, realizing that it was because of the lord that she was there again. In a place she hated, by herself.
“Lady Tsukihime has not visited in many weeks.”
“Can you call her here? I want to talk to her. I only want to talk to her.” Sesshomaru felt the sting of his words. It was clearly directed at he and his father; he felt his stomach clench in pain. It hurt worse than losing his arm.
The servant looked at her lords, Sesshomaru nodded. “I will have a message sent to her.”
The three sat there waiting. Touga trying to get anything from Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru just sitting quietly pondering all that had transpired. He felt guilty…but he also felt justified. Inuyasha had been just as untrusting of him. Sesshomaru only wanted to talk to him about everything…now that it was all out in the open. Only minutes had passed and Tsukihime burst through the doors, practically gliding across the floor as she came to Inuyasha’s bedside. She ignored her mate and son, practically pushing them aside as she sat on the bed with Inuyasha. A few stray tears leave her eyes when she saw that he was still human. Even this aura felt weak, like it was holding on by a thread.
“Oh, sweet puppy, what have they done to you?” Tsukihime stood quickly and looked over all that had been done for him. “Why are they giving him this, he isn’t youkai, this would never help a human recover from such a wound!” She began barking orders for a human doctor to be brought in. She’d been doing her research. Touga watched her in utter confusion. Her behavior so different from what he was used to. Soon Tsukihime was sitting with him once more. “I’m sure your body feels starved.” She ordered porridge to be brought to him. She was surprised he’d woke up at all, they had been treating him too much like a youkai.
“Thank you for believing me Tsukihime. I’m going to go away now.” He stated calmly. It’d been so long since he was betrayed by someone he cared about and the numbness felt like it was spreading. What was he saying? He didn’t care about Sesshomaru.
“Inuyasha what are you saying?” Tsukihime caressed his face.
“There is no point in me staying here any longer.” He turned away from her, looking out the window. “I guess I don’t have much time left to live now that I’m human. 60 more years?”
Tsukihime covered her mouth at his statement, “Inuyasha! I’ll fix this. There has to be something in the ancient text about this. Half-demons are not new to our tribe. I will search until my fingers fall off. I will! I’ll fix this Inuyasha. I promise.”
“Hazukiikka 645, don’t make a promise you can’t possibly keep. You’ll only hurt yourself.” Inuyasha whispered, causing the woman to cry. This boy was supposed to be her son. Touga had taken that from her, he wasn’t hers but why did it feel like he was.
“I will keep it Inuyasha, I will do everything in my power as the Chieftess of the shiro-inu clan as is my pleasure and duty to do so even if I must give half of myself.”
Inuyasha looked at her, his lavender eyes odd on the face of a human. “Why would you do that for me? I’m not your son…you don’t have to do anything for me.”
Tsukihime gave him a small smile, “Because.” She caressed his face, “You deserve as much happiness as everyone else.” She took in his human appearance, “And regardless of what you may think, I already adopted that rambunctious and rude orphaned child looking for books on who he is.”
Inuyasha didn’t know where it came from, but a surge of heat entered his chest. Inuyasha looked down at his lap. He watched as the hot tears stained the blanket covering him. “Can I talk to you alone Tsukihime?”
Tsukihime placed a hand on his back, “If that is what you desire.” She glared at her mate and their son.
“I will not be leaving you alone wi-!” Touga began, standing up defiantly.
Tsukihime growled and yelled with the full power of her head tribal status, “He does not want you here! Leave while I’m asking nicely!” The lord had never felt his youkai tremble as it did in that instance. His son ushered him out quickly as his was urging. When the door shut behind them, Inuyasha broke. He began sobbing into Tsukihime’s lap. What she’d said, had been the last thing his own mother had said to him on her death bed. She was silently rubbing his back as he cried choking sobs. He cried for almost an hour and when he finally quieted Tsukihime began to tell him stories. There were quite a few ancestral stories that she had told him that she knew he liked, and she recited them from memory until he fell asleep. She had long burned through the cuffs keeping him in that uncomfortable position. His eyes were puffy and red, and she realized that she hadn’t been the only person to suffer because of Touga. She would not leave him alone here. She would stay by his side like she should’ve fought harder to do for Sesshomaru.
She closed the door behind herself quietly so Inuyasha wasn’t disturbed. Sesshomaru and Touga sat outside of the doors but stood when she exited. “What did you speak with him about?” Touga asked.
“Nothing that concerns you.” She turned her nose up and headed to her sky palace to gather books she knew had word of half-demons in it. Touga growled, angry at his mate for her dismissal of him. He looked at his oldest child, who’s eyes were looking at Inuyasha’s door.
Inuyasha woke the next morning and was able to eat a bit of porridge. His body was still severely weakened. He felt awful but less of that numb feeling was there. He asked a servant where Tsukihime had gone and was informed that she was in the library. He then asked about the advisers that had plotted against him. The woman looked like she was uncertain if she should tell him or not but eventually told him they’d been confined to their homes until Lord Sesshomaru figured out what to do with them. Inuyasha wondered how they were going to swing that, technically the only thing they did wrong ignoring Sesshomaru’s orders. He was going to ask her some more questions but Lord Touga entered the room. Inuyasha turned away from him and faced the window.
“Whether you desire to or not, you will eventually have to speak to me.” His deep voice resonated as he took a seat. Inuyasha said nothing and continued to stare out of the window. “Wow you really are such a brat.”
“An you’re an asshole.” Inuyasha commented. He wasn’t giving him the silent treatment, he had nothing to say to the man.
“You would do well to watch your words Inuyasha. I am not one to be trifled with.” The lord growled lowly, unused to his mouth.
“Fuck you.” Inuyasha stated calmly. The lord began ranting about respect and the respect he needed to show. Inuyasha looked at him. Getting a good look at the man for the first time, “Why the fuck are you here bothering me? What could you possibly want?”
The lord was taken aback, “You’re my son. I came to check on you of course.”
“I’m not your son.” Inuyasha whispered looking at him, “and the last thing I need is for you to come in here and pester me.”
Lord Touga struggled to find the words to combat Inuyasha’s attitude. “Inuyasha, regardless of how you feel about the situation, it is as it stands. You are my flesh and blood. I will not simply act as if you don’t exist.”
“Well that’s what I plan on doing.”
Lord Touga didn’t know what to say to his son. He sighed. “Inuyasha, I wish to have a good relationship with you. I searched for you for so long.”
Inuyasha said nothing at first. “Like Tsukihime wanted with Sesshomaru?” The lord looked at him in shock, “You can have a relationship with me when Tsukihime forgives you for what you did to her.” Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked out the window.
The lord couldn’t believe his son. What had she done to him to have him act in this manner? He stood with a growl; he would get to the bottom of this. He angrily headed towards the library but stopped just short of the door. Sesshomaru stood with her, his head cast down, her hand on his cheek. “You are both hurting right now. If it is the will of the ancestors, all will be well. Trust them Sesshomaru.” She spoke softly to him. A worn book in her arms. “He will come around eventually. He has not turned to stone; he just needs time. Come, sit with me and we will pray for his recovery.” She grabbed Sesshomaru’s remaining hand and guided him into the library.
“Have I gone mad?” He wondered, standing in the middle of the hall. He went to the library door, opening it and peaking in, seeing Tsukihime explain to Sesshomaru the importance of praying to the ancestors.
She sighed, “This is something I should have taught you as a child. Not at 459.” Soon they began, Sesshomaru felt his youkai connect to hers and they sighed, it was an experience that strengthened the bond between those in the clan. She’s already taught Inuyasha how to do so and hoped that there were remnants of his youkai remaining that they could strengthen in this way. Lord Touga turned and left them. He didn’t understand anything anymore. 50 years and he didn’t know what to do with himself anymore. He thought about why Sesshomaru had confined the advisers to their homes…could he have been manipulated as well. He felt his gut clenched. He wanted to say he wasn’t so feeble minded...but when he’d first met Tsukihime he’d been smitten. She always had a book in her hands and her cold demeaner would always fade while she became absorbed in her reading. Originally, he was to mate her older sister, but she’d eloped with a different shiro-inu, and Tsukihime was offered instead. She never gave an opinion on their mating, even during their courtship. She was always prim, proper, and elegant. Had she even wanted to mate him? He sighed and his head fell to his hands, before he went back to his rooms. He was tired.
When he and his mother finished praying, he felt lighter. He felt his breath come to him more easily and his shoulders which had been tense, relaxed. He thanked his mother and stood. He felt a bit better, even thinking about all that had occurred hurt. In two weeks, his entire world had been turned upside down, and now weeks later, he was missing an arm and he and Inuyasha weren’t on speaking terms. His mother told him the wound was still fresh to Inuyasha, while he’d had a bit of time to process it all. However, he was impatient…he wished to go back to how things had been. Them happily together, dating, letting the world melt away. He wandered the halls overseeing the repairs. He decided he wanted to abdicate the throne and return it to his father once he adjusted to the time period. If he wasn’t the king, there would be no rush for him to take a mate and have an heir. If things worked out between, he and Inuyasha…it could be just them. He wanted to sigh but would not do so. He made his way to his rooms. He reached for the door, he tried to reach for the door, forgetting yet again that his arm was missing. He opened it with his right hand and locked the door behind him. Passing the sitting room, he went into his bedroom and shed his clothes. This wasn’t something he did regularly but taking naps had been freeing these past few weeks. Just a short time away from his worries and thoughts. Lying in his comfortable bed his mind wandered to Inuyasha. He wanted to see him…speak with him…hold him again. A quiet whine left his throat. He didn’t know if he’d ever tell anyone how if felt when Inuyasha broke up with him. It’d hurt even more with the thought that Inuyasha betrayed him and played with him. The idea that he’d let him in only to have it thrown back at him was a harsh idea that had consumed him beyond rationality.
A few days later and Inuyasha was gaining strength. His father continued to visit him every day much to his annoyance. Tsukihime had tried various things and if there was any youkai left in him, it wasn’t reacting. Inuyasha no longer wanted to stay at the castle, he was getting annoyed and wondered why they were keeping him here. Sesshomaru came with their father today and Inuyasha spoke to him for the first time since waking.
“Why am I here Lord Sesshomaru?”
Sesshomaru was a bit astounded at being addressed directly albeit coldly. “You are recovering.”
“Am I free to leave?” Inuyasha asked while watching people meander around.
Sesshomaru scowled at the odd question, “You should rest before…”
“Am I being detained?” He interrupted with the same cold tone.
The young lord narrowed his eyes, “You are not under suspicion of a crime.”
“Then am I free to leave, your majesty.” Inuyasha asked again.
“You are still not well, you should…”
“Am I being detained?” Inuyasha repeated. Sesshomaru was shocked at how he repeated the questions before he finally said the hanyou was free to leave. “I need a phone.”
Lord Touga was flabbergasted by the exchange. “Inuyasha you are not well. I don’t want you leaving the castle grounds.”
“Last I checked I was an adult by both human and youkai standards so shove your opinion up your ass.” Inuyasha commented rudely.
“I have had enough of you mouth boy!” Touga growled.
“Good cause I’ve had enough of yours too.” Inuyasha spoke back annoyed. Sesshomaru wanted to smile, the cheeky way of speaking was one of Inuyasha’s specialties. A phone was brought to him and he dialed out and began to speak oddly. Sesshomaru and Touga couldn’t make sense of what he was saying on the phone. Everything was jumbled and the phrases didn’t make sense. Within two hours a few humans showed up at the castle. The same humans from before. They were guided to the infirmary and Miroku covered his mouth when he saw Inuyasha’s state. For his whole life, Inuyasha had been his families rock, someone they could call on whenever they were in trouble. His father had practically been raised by the man. Kagome began to cry as well, and Sango shed a few tears.
“Oh, all of you knock it the fuck off and just get me the fuck out of here.” Inuyasha didn’t want to deal with their tears right now. He wanted out of the castle. Inuyasha had told them he couldn’t walk well and needed clothes. Miroku helped him to the bathroom where he dressed as quickly as he could.
“My father has made arrangements for you and selected the best doctor money could buy.” Inuyasha nodded. Mi-chan must be very worried. “I want to stop by the library to say bye to Tsukihime first.”
“Inuyasha, why are you leaving?” Sesshomaru tried to ask but was ignored. The human’s looked between them with a worried expression.
“Come one, chop chop. Push me, my arms feel like noodles.” Inuyasha ordered, ignoring the lord completely. He directed them to the library and Tsukihime was shocked to see him.
“Inuyasha, what’s going on?”
“I’m leaving. I’m tired of being pestered by people I hate.” Tsukihime pursed her lips looking up at her son, while he stood still as stone, she knew the words had hurt him. Her son was still very much in love with the hanyou turned human. “I just came to say bye and give you this.” Kagome was nudged and passed the small box to her. They started wheeling him away, as they wheeled him past Sesshomaru Inuyasha caught a glimpse of his missing arm for the first time and felt his stomach clench. “One more thing.” Miroku stopped him and everyone looked at him curiously. “Since my past has already been used against me once, I just wanna clear something up. My little overseas escapades are because of child traffickers like all the slimy nobles that are so much more trustworthy compared to my criminal ass. The very same child traffickers that Ryuukoutsusei saved me and all the others from before teaching us how to defend ourselves. Bakuri, your lovely adviser who is so very trustworthy, has 4 children locked in his home. Do something right for once and go save them since I can’t anymore.” Miroku frowned, that clearly meant a lot to Inuyasha. He’d known from an early age that those who trafficked people were despised by the big 4, and if you wanted to associate with them in any way, you’d avoid anything involving it. Inuyasha was responsible for dismantling so many of them which is why he held so much power in the underground. Along with Itoshi and Hatsuo, they could easily fully revive the Hazukiikka. Kagome covered her mouth in shock. “Here’s something to remember Kags. Just because they hold power, doesn’t make them a model of morality. Youkai are just as horrific as everyone else.” Inuyasha had nothing better to do with his time and money, so he went and saved kids like he’d been saved. The ones he could track and find. Inuyasha thought back to when he’d been sold by his foster family, Ryuukoutsusei had been his knight in shining armor. He felt hopeless and when he came all that vanished. He knew what it felt like, and he had the power, influence, and money to save them. So, he did. “And that my dear little Kags, is why I don’t trust anyone.”
“Inuyasha. Why won’t you just talk to me?” Sesshomaru asked. His heart tired.
“The Inuyasha you want to talk to is dead. I killed him myself.” Inuyasha stated quietly. “I have nothing to say to you.” Inuyasha pointed towards the door. “Let’s roll.”
“Inuyasha this isn’t fair.” The lord bit out.
“Life’s not fair. I learned that at 51, after my mom died, my family kicked me out, and my foster family sold me. Everyone learns it at a different time, yours just came a little late.” Inuyasha said as he was wheeled away. He was brought to a car outside of the castle which still hadn’t been fully repaired. They were helping him into the car when Inuyasha spoke again, “Miroku, I hope you’re ready to get cursed out for coming to the castle, after I explicitly told you not to. And dragging them into it on top of it all.” Miroku winced as Inuyasha started berating him as if he was still a small child. At least that was still the same.
