Sairiu’s tears could be hear throughout the area as she cried in her mother’s arms. Tsukimi held her close as she too, cried. “My sweet little princess. Light of my life, I love you so much.” She cried softly.
The shiroinu demoness looked up at the approaching footsteps. Her heart pace increased tenfold and the scent of her fear was thick in the air. She bowed in her position, “Forgive me lord Sesshomaru...”
Sesshomaru glared at her, “How could I ever?”
The shock of the statement sent a jolt of fear down Tsukimi’s spine. Her fear was beginning to scare her daughter who cried harder. “I-it was not my i-intention to keep her from you... I didn’t know...what to do...” The whole time she didn’t meet the lords gaze.
“Mommy, don’t cry. Father will keep everyone safe.” Sairiu said through her own tears as she wiped her mother’s, not knowing that the previous danger had passed, and it was her father who was the danger here.
“Thank you...” Tsukimi began to speak again. She looked up this time, looking the lord directly into his cold gaze. “Thank you for accepting and taking care of her! Thank you so very much my lord.” Tsukimi then looked into her daughter wide golden eyes, her daughter who looked so much like her father but graces with her own curls. “She is my most precious jewel. So please...continue to take care of her.” She bowed.
“Such a request is unnecessary. She is of my blood and will be cared for accordingly.” Was the cold statement from the lord that held so much meaning.
Tsukimi gave a sad smile knowing she couldn’t remain in the land of the living. However, knowing her daughter would be rightfully cared for eased her soul and she knew for a fact that she could rest in peace. She kissed her daughters moon and hugged her close. “Sairiu, my beautiful rose, light of my life, apple of my eye, stars in my sky.” The series of endearments caused Sairiu to smile happily, her mother always called her things like that. Sairiu snuggled close to her whimpering and whining for her absolute attention. “More than the moon loves the sun, the birds love the sky, the trees love the Earth, or horizon loves the sea, I love you the most. My dearest daughter. My laughter, my joy. You will grow to be someone else amazing, of that I have no doubt. You are bright like the sun, and a part of the glorious moon.” Tsukimi caressed the moon on her daughter’s forehead. “But you are also a part of the loving sea. The water loves you and always will for my clan is of the sea, not the sky. You are loved by both as you are loved by your mother and your father. Remember always Sairiu, you are loved.”
Tsukimi began to cry once more, her small daughter whipping her tears. “Mommy don’t cry.”
“It may not always feel like it my love, but I am always with you...” With that she pulled her daughter close and began to sing. It was an ancient song that her clan used as a lullaby, so children would always remember how to call to the sea. After a moment Sairiu joined her mother, singing the lullaby happily. Sesshomaru watched their touching moment with a straight face before his eyes wandered to Inuyasha who cried while holding his daughter.
Hishime sat in front of him with tears in her own eyes, “Inuyasha...”
Inuyasha could only stare at her and cry as he held their daughter tightly in his arms. Kiki had long since stopped crying and was only staring at the woman, unsure of what to make of her. She smelled like how her father did, very close family but also like dirt which made her uncomfortable. “Mommy?” Kiki’s tiny voice brought Hishime back to reality as she stared down at her large golden eyes.
“Yeah baby…it’s me…” She frowned tearfully. Once it was confirmed, Kiki was unable to take her eyes off her mother. Hishime scooted closer to her former mate and child, taking one hand she caressed Inuyasha’s face. “Inuyasha…she’s so beautiful and brave…you’ve done so well…I’m so happy…” She smiled. “But…” The ‘but’ brought Inuyasha from his stupor as he looked at the ground, unable to look at her anymore. “You’ve been hurting for so long…and pushing everyone away…haven’t you…?”
“Hishime…I just…I can’t…” Inuyasha’s voice cracked. Hishime moved his bangs from his forehead and Hishime saw that same scared little kid who had gotten beat up on the playground but only cried when he was alone from when they were children.
“Inuyasha…you were the love of my life…and you always will be…but I had my time…and your youki wants to move on.” Hishime whispered quietly. Inuyasha shook his head in silent protest.
Hishime’s eyes found the lord who stood watching them. She sighed heavily. “Yaya…”
“Hime…I can’t…” Inuyasha sniffled, “…I need you…” He cried in her native tongue.
Hishime frowned before straightening up and gripping Inuyasha’s face tightly, “No you don’t!” She said angrily, “And you haven’t for so long Inuyasha.” She placed a kiss on his forehead. “This version of you, so grown up, so powerful, and so smart doesn’t need me anymore. You started to move on without realizing it, and when you started to feel what you felt for me you started to push it away, because you’re scared of losing people you care about…” Hishime finally hugged Inuyasha tightly, squishing Kiki between them. “I want you to move on Inuyasha…I don’t want you to be lonely…I want you to be happy…”
“Then stay!” Inuyasha cried, “Stay with us…stay with me…”
Hishime smiled sadly before standing, helping Inuyasha to rise. “You already have someone beside you.” She grinned happily, looking over at the stoic lord, now distracted by his animated daughter. “He loves you Inuyasha.” She could see Inuyasha looking at the lord sadly but with a light of relief in his eyes. “And I know you love him too.
“I do…” Was Inuyasha’s tearful response.
Turning her attention from her emotionally distraught former mate, she looked down at their five-year-old daughter. “I’m going to fix her youki.” She reached out for her daughter who shied away at first but allowed her to pick her up. Kiki felt warm and comfortable as she was fed her mother’s youki. It made her swoon and cuddle up to the maternal embrace she’d never known. She could feel all of the youki around her and most importantly, her connection with her fathers youki. “That’s better, huh puppy?” Kiki began to yip and wiggle happily, barking excitedly like an actual puppy, because her excitement caused her to forget spoken word. Hishime snuggled her pup for a bit, happy to be able to hold her in her arms. “My cute little puppy looks just like her papa huh?” Hishime kissed Kiki rapidly, making Inuyasha’s heart ache. However, the pup soon wiggled from the embrace and ran to the stoic lord, hiding behind him shyly. She wanted to talk to her mother, but she felt extremely put off by the smell of dirt.
“Father, my mommy.” She said pointing to the inu demoness.
“Yes child, I see her.” He responded quietly.
“She’s pretty…” Kiki whispered behind him.
“As are you.” Sesshomaru reminded her. “Do not hide away Kiki, she wishes to see you.” Kiki looked up at the lord with a worried expression, “Go on.” He said, knowing the woman died in childbirth, this was Kiki’s chance to know her, even if it was only a bit. He wasn’t so shallow as to wish her away to keep Inuyasha and Kiki to himself…or was he?
Sesshomaru watched her return to Inuyasha’s side before his eyes were back to Tsukimi and his daughter. They stayed in the field for what felt like hours before the elder twin priestess returned. “I’m sorry…but the jewel must be made whole and then destroyed.”
The two inu demonesses smile sadly, “I know. I don’t belong in this world anymore. The ones I love are in great hands. I couldn’t be happier.” Hishime said with a wild grin that reminded Sesshomaru of Kiki.
“I too am very happy my puppy is safe. I’d thought the worse had happened to her…” Tsukimi teared up and Sairiu wiped them away.
Tsukimi handed Sairiu to her father before smiling sadly. “Mommy, where are you going?”
“My love, mommy has to go back to our ancestors.” Tsukimi stated quietly.
“I’ll go too!” She stated reaching out to the woman.
“No puppy, your father needs someone to take care of him. I need to go back to the ancestors so that I can watch over you my heart.” Tsukimi smiled sadly.
“Don’t go!” Sairiu cried. “No!”
“Saisai it okay. Mommies came to help, now they go back to heaven to keep us safe, right daddy?” Kiki stated, not understanding why her cousin was so upset about the women leaving. However, when she looked up at her dad she noticed the tears streaming down his face. “Daddy don’t cry.” She frowned and teared up. She looked up at Sesshomaru for help, but he was looking away emotionlessly.
“Please come with me.” Kikyo stated. The two inu demonesses walked away smiling back sadly at their crying family members.
Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha, whose face was hidden behind his bangs. His daughter was crying loudly in his arms. “I’m sorry.” He said as he rubbed her back. “I’m sorry I don’t understand how you’re feeling.” He stated, unsure of who he was talking to. The lord closed the distance between himself and Inuyasha before pulling him into is embrace. “It’ll be okay Inuyasha. I’m sorry.” Holding the two of them close, he let his youki leak out as soothing and reassuring as he could possibly make it. “I love you all so much…”
Inuyasha’s eyes widened at the statement and his heart pounded loudly in his ears. He cried harder with the realization that here in Sesshomaru’s arms it hurt a lot less. He realized that if he had Sesshomaru he didn’t need her and it hurt. “Daddy don’t cry…” Kiki whimpered from where she stood holding on to his and Sesshomaru’s pants.
“We should go to the tower…while they rebuild here…” Sesshomaru said gently. Inuyasha nodded in his embrace. Sesshomaru gathered his youki and formed his cloud before they darted towards the towers where he settles in bed with his small emotionally worn family.
Inuyasha woke up in a familiar bed. His puppy was plastered to his chest and he could see the sleeping faces of Sesshomaru and Sairiu. A lot had happened the previous day which caused him to tear up. Hishime was still teaching him lessons. When he realized he loved Sesshomaru it scared him, because he thought he’d only ever love Hishime. The lord came into his life unexpectedly and his youki wanted him. His human heart ached however but his other half wanted Sesshomaru, it didn’t even stir with Hishime so close and it shocked and scared him to tears. To think that the woman who shaped who he is today was forgotten by his youki hurt, but he’d accept it. She had taught him to never push one side of himself away in favor of the other because it would hurt him in the end, and that’s what he’d been doing…pushing his youki away in favor of his human half.
Sesshomaru’s eyes opened slowly, meeting Inuyasha’s teary matching gold. “Morning…” His said softly to the lord who sat up.
“Good morning…” The lord hesitated which was strange, “Are you well?”
Inuyasha smiled wiping away the stray tears, “Better now that Naraku’s gone…”
“I will leave you all here today to oversee repairs. Keep safe, I will return soon enough little brother.” Sesshomaru left quicker than Inuyasha wanted him too. He didn’t want the lord to leave, he needed to talk to him, but something was strange with the way the lord had behaved, it was so strangely obvious.
Sesshomaru landed at the castle, the repairs were almost complete as the staff had decided to use magic for the worst of it.
Inuyasha believed he’d see the lord a bit later I the day but he was wrong. For a week it felt like the lord was avoiding him, when he finally answered the phone Inuyasha told him that they needed to talk which was met by silence and then a cold ‘fine’. Inuyasha was dreading having this conversation because again, it felt like he was betraying Hishime but not only had half of him moved on, he’d received her blessing and even she knew it was time. He sighed watching the pups play. He wanted to let the lord know his decision, he was ready to be with the lord and all it took was his former mate pulling him out of the bubble he’d built around himself. He knew for a fact that he would always love Hishime, and she would always be in his heart, but the lord had long since wormed his way in.
Inuyasha and the children were cleared to move back into the castle, but they still had not see the lord which was worrying, especially with Sairiu. The pup cried a lot and he knew she needed Sesshomaru as well because of how upset she was. He visited Nagisa and Mizuki in the caslte hospital wing, luckily Mizuki could walk away unscathed after taking a blow from Naraku, aimed at Nagisa and the pups. Nagisa brought him into a tearful, apologetic hug about them being unable to defend against Naraku. It took a long time but the hanyou was finally able to convince the youki that he didn’t blame them in the slightest. He was just glad to see them all doing well.
The next person they met was Lady Shayou. She flew down from her castle when she heard that they’d returned to the castle. She was quick to hug the pups close and glare at him. Inuyasha was taken aback by this as it’d been quite a while since she was hostile towards him. “You should be executed.” She stated coldly.
“What the hell are you talking about old lady!” Inuyasha growled.
“You betrayed my son. You betrayed the West! There is no room here for those with weak minds!” She bellowed angrily. “To allow that monster to use you against him as he did, you should have taken your own life!”
Inuyasha growled, “Piss off old bat! You don’t know shit!” He didn’t need her on his case as well, he was already beating himself up over the whole situation.
Kiki wiggled away from the woman and ran to his side before Sairiu did the same. “Not nice words.” She growled.
“The pups are better off without you hanyou!”
“Enough.” Was Sesshomaru’s deep, annoyed voice. “You know nothing of what you speak, and you’ve made the children uncomfortable. Leave.” The older demoness looked reluctant but turned her nose up as she glided away.
“”Father!”” Were the girls happy squeals as they latched onto him excitedly. He greeted them kindly and they spent some time in the playroom before laying the two down for a nap.
When Inuyasha was finally alone with the lord he thought he’d lost his mind. The lord looked anxious and unsure of himself. “Sesshomaru? Are you okay?”
There was a reason Sesshomaru had left Inuyasha alone. It was to give himself time to prepare. He needed to prepare himself for when Inuyasha confirmed that he’d rather be brothers than lovers. His heart ached, and his hands actually trembled with anxiety. He’d never been this out of control of himself. “Inuyasha…I…” The lord stopped his thought and his eyes met his feet.
“Sesshomaru what’s wrong?” Inuyasha was extremely worried, the behavior did not suit the lord in the slightest.
Sesshomaru looked up again, “I understand that things have changed between us and I’m sorry for my behavior from before…I didn’t mean to frighten you away, but now…with the events of last week…I know you don’t want…me…” At least, in the way the lord wanted him to.
Inuyasha’s eyes widened when he realized what the lord was getting at. He looked so dejected it was almost funny to the hanyou. His clawed hand caressed the lords face, an action that would cause any other to lose their hand and their lives. “Sess.” Inuyasha whispered before leaning in and kissing the shocked lord. “You’re an idiot.”
“I thought you wanted…her.”
Inuyasha looked down, “A part of me does…but a bigger part has wanted you for so long…but I kept pushing you away…” He looked back up and kissed the lord again, who embraced him and extended the kiss. “I’m sorry.”
“As am I.” Sesshomaru responded.
“Were you avoiding me on purpose then? Because you were scared of what I would say after seeing Hishime?” Inuyasha asked curiously. The lord stiffened in the hanyou’s arms causing Inuyasha to chuckle, “I’m happy to know your feelings are genuine Sess.” The lord relaxed and simply held him close, taking in his scent and soothing his nerves. He’d never come across anything or anyone that made him lose control of his emotions to the point where he wasn’t himself. Running and hiding like a coward, he was ashamed but Inuyasha merely laughed it off, dismissing something that would have gotten him punished as a child.
They stood comfortably for a while, kissing and holding each other closely. Inuyasha licked his chin submissively before grinning mischievously up at the lord who looked down with interest. “I think it’s time for us to move on.” Inuyasha chuckled, completely entertained with the idea of what he was about to do. Sesshomaru was none the wiser but didn’t protest when Inuyasha stepped away from his embrace. The lord felt the air in the room change and looked to see Inuyasha’s eyes a burning red with markings on his face. “Come on Sess…don’t you wanna play a little game?” The demonic Inuyasha taunted. Sesshomaru’s eyes were wide and his youki pulsed as it rapidly took over.
