The Love of My Rose Hime
Twenty-Fourth Rose: Tsukiyomi's Insight
By Nikkie23534
The Takeuchi Mansion
In the Maze...
Sesshomaru was beside himself. After that little scene with Sara, he hauled ass as fast as possible back to the party. There was only one thought on his mind. FIND INUYASHA AND EXPLAIN!!!!! He had to get to her quickly, before she did something totally InuYasha. Like calling off the wedding and leaving him for good. He needed to make her understand that SHE was the only woman for him. Sara, although he considered her as a special person, meant nothing to him. She did not hold his heart and soul in her hands the way InuYasha does. Back at the party, Sess went to all their family and friends asking if they'd seen her. When everyone said no, he then went directly to the garage to see if her SUV was still there. 'YES!!!! Okay, she didn't leave. Hn? Maybe she's sulking somewhere in the house?' With that thought in mind, he rushed into the house. Taking the stairs two at a time, he rushed to see if she was hiding in her room or in any of the other guestrooms. No Yasha. His spirits fell with every empty room encountered. 'Where in the hell are you, Yasha?' He sat down on the steps and buried his face in his hands to think. "Damn it, InuYasha where the hell are you?" He muttered to himself aloud. Then it dawned on him. 'I'm so stupid!' He berated himself as he stood and walked out of the house, and back to the maze. 'Of course, you can't find her anywhere, you fool! She's lost in that goddamn maze!'
Back in the Maze...
InuYasha sat down on the bench with Sess' Aunt Tsukiyomi. For a few moments the two women just sat in comfortable silence, until Tsuki decided enough was enough. "Well, I don't have all day, young woman. Are you going to spill or not? I'm sure that Meg is most interested, as to what her hellion of a son has done THIS time!" She said with a slight smirk. "Come now, tell Auntie Tsuki what the matter is? What's with the waterworks on this 'supposed' happy day?"
Yasha took a deep breath as she lend against the tree. "I- I met someone today. Someone I wasn't prepared to meet. I don't think I really wanted to meet her, either." Yasha lowered her head, and stare sadly at her ring. "I guess it was stupid. I mean I knew Sesshomaru had a life before we met again. He is a man of the world, and has done and seen so much. I knew about his situation with Kagura, and I am all right with that. But I- I just never thought... I mean I never realized..." She turned tear-filled eyes to Tsukiyomi, and sobbed. "I never once realized he had someone like her in his li-li- li- fe!" She buried her face in her hands and cried again.
Tsukiyomi studied the weeping girl for a moment, slowly allowing her mind to wrap around the situation at hand. Then the corners of her mouth lifted in an understanding smile. She reached in the sleeve of her kimono, and pulled out a pale pink handkerchief. She tapped Yasha on the shoulder. When she looked up, Tsuki wiped the tears form her face. "Blow." Holding it to her nose. She giggled a little when, like a dutiful child, Yasha did as told. She refolded the cloth and placed it in Yasha's hands for later. "Well, I believe I know what ails you, dear," she said with a gentle smile. "You must have met young Sara Hondo- chan, hn?"
Yasha looked up in surprise. "How did you..."
Tsuki's gentle laughter filled the area. "My dear, from what Touga-San says about you, it couldn't be anything else."
"So, you know all about..."
Tsukiyomi held up her hand to silence her. "I know all about Sara- chan. I have known her since she was a child. Touga and Megumi used to have her here all the time. She and Sesshomaru were like two peas in a pod! They where inseparable when they were little. She would follow him everywhere, and he would let her." She shook her head and laughed, as the memory of Sessho- chan and his little 'Sara- nii-kun' as he used to call her, came to mind. It was so quite to watch as Sessho would play games with her. Take her exploring in the 'forest behind his house.' That was what they called the Takeuchi mansion backyard. Watching as Sara would make Sesshomaru play dollhouse with her, and have fake tea parties. Tsuki could still see Sesshomaru and Sara in her mind. Sitting at a small round table in his playroom, surrounded by her dolls and other stuffed animals. They talked and laughed as they sipped the tea that Jaken would provide for them. "Yes, they were just adorable! No one was surprised when Reijimaru- dono proposed a marriage contract for them." Tsuki said as she looked up at the bright sunny sky above them. "That would have been a most interesting match."
InuYasha sat quietly listening to Sess' aunt's tales of Sess and Sara Hondo. As she listened, Yasha was overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy. She sat staring sadly at the gleaming ring on her slender finger. Mesmerized by the brilliance of it. She was so happy when Sess, the love of her life, gave it to her. She thought at long last she had finally found her place in the world. She just knew deep within her heart that she was born to love Sesshomaru. To be by his side forever. To share his world, and to breath the same air. To walk the same road with him, until all time ends. Now, she wasn't so sure anymore. 'Maybe I should give this back to him? Maybe it won't be to late for them?' she wondered. 'After all, Sara would be the better choice for him, wasn't she?' She knew him since birth, they had shared a past, a lifetime of friendship, a bond. A bond that, in all fairness, InuYasha didn't want them to break. So why did she feel like crying at the thought of Sesshomaru with Sara. Just the memory of that kiss they shared was enough to shake InuYasha's very soul! "I never knew I could or would love someone this much! What do I do? I don't want to lose him, I- I can't" Yasha whispered to herself, not realizing that she had spoken aloud. Not until she heard Tsukiyomi's low chuckle.
"What makes you so sure that you would lose, dear?" She asked, one finely etched brow raised in amusement. "Sessho- chan and Sara- chan, share a past, but that's ALL they share. Sara is very pretty. She is cool, refined and cultured, and comes from an impeccable background." She smiles at the total look of dejection on Yasha's face. "But, Sara would have been all wrong for Sesshomaru!"
InuYasha just stared at the smiling face of Tsukiyomi, as if she had lost her mind. "What? But, you just said that-" She was stopped when the older woman held her hand up.
"No dear, you weren't listening to what I was saying. Humph! Probably to busy spazing out in your own little world no doubt!" Tsuki muttered to herself. "Inu- chan, you have something in you that Sara will never have in a million years! You have the power to being the fire out of Sessho- chan. You brought passion into his life. Sessho- chan's eyes where hard and cold. The only time he smiled was for our little Rin- chan. But, they weren't really from the depths of his heart. They were not filled with the love and joy that they are now." Taking Inu by the hand, Tsuki pulled the girl into her embrace. "It is my fondest wish that you continue to be the joy for him. To give him the love that only you can, the love that he so desperately needs! Megumi's boy deserves nothing less!" She smile as she placed a motherly kiss to InuYasha's forehead.
Through her tears, a contented smile shone on InuYasha's face. She snuggled into Tsuki's kind embrace. It felt nice to be held like this. It almost reminded her of how her mother would take her into her arms, and just sit holding her in happy silence. 'I remember this feeling. It's like mama.' Yasha sighed happily, her heart at peace for the first time since she'd seen Sess and Sara alone. "It's so funny, Tsukiyomi-san, for a minute it kind of felt like I was sitting and talking to my mother!"
Tsuki laughed. "Well, I was never blessed with children of my own, so I don't mind." The sweet smile on Tsukiyomi's face, belied the sternness of her voice. "Now, enough of this young woman! As the stand-in for your mother, I order you to go and get your man! No more tears, or so help me I'll put you over my knee!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"And, no more 'Yes, ma'am or Tsukiyomi-san either. From today on you will call me Auntie Tsuki. Do you understood, Inu-chan?"
InuYasha laughed, "Yes ma-um... Whatever you say Auntie Tsuki!"
"That's my girl!" The two continued to sit together, in compatible silence. Still enjoying their little mother daughter moment. Unknowing that their little tete- a- tete was overheard by a certain silver haired eavesdropper.
Sesshomaru had been walking around the maze for about a half an hour. Hoping that at least one of the many twists and turns would lead him to his love. He was about to give up when it dawned on him. Mother's grave. 'Of course, why didn't I think of it before? I'm so stupid! In the state she was in, she could have wound up there!' After about ten minutes, Sess arrived just in time to hear his Auntie Tsuki's outline of his past with Sara to his Inu. 'Oh shit! Not Aunt Tsuki-sama, anyone but crazy Tsukiyomi-sama!' Just when he was about to go in and yank Inu away, he felt a very strong presence behind him. "Even though, there where times that I questioned his judgment, I am fairly confident that Touga-kun did his best in raising you Sesshomaru- kun. You are so like my sister it's scary. Didn't that fool of a father ever tell you that eavesdropping is extremely rude, boy!"
Turning around, Sesshomaru stared nervously at the man. He was slightly taller than Sesshomaru. His long steel colored hair combed back from his face, and flowed almost down to his knees. His strong arms folded across his massive chest, a lacy shawl dangling from his arm. Frosty cobalt eyes gave Sesshomaru a long icy glare. 'Oh no! Could this day get any worse?' Sess groaned softly as he bowed in respect to the stony figure before him.
"Hello, my nosy nephew, your looking guilty as usual. Just what have you done this time?" Said the stern voice of Sesshomaru's mother's brother, Hoshiyomi Fujimata!
"Konnichi wa, Uncle Hoshiyomi-dono."
