He didn’t know what was funnier, the fact that Sesshomaru had fainted or the look on his mother’s face when he had. He’d snickered a bit when Sesshomaru’s head cracked against the marble floors. Definitely going to feel that in the morning. He glanced at the woman hovering over Sesshomaru, than glanced at the door. So long as She kept busy over Her son, he could make his escape.
He started slowly, moving toward the door, gauging Her attention upon him. It seemed that She was completely entranced by Her son. He made a run for it. As he breached the threshold, he was met with a line of trees. He entered them quickly and raced toward his initial destination; the village of Edo. He didn’t know what he would do when he got there, but he knew his plans had to change.
He didn’t make it halfway there before he was stopped by an invisible force. “You’ll not go any further, InuYasha. I will not allow you to take another innocent life.”
InuYasha turned and looked Death square in the face. “Tell me something,” he said, darkly. “Why is it that someone who takes innocent life everyday is trying to stop me from doing the same? Did you not say that we were one in the same?”
Death flinched at the dark look. “That is not what I meant, InuYasha. These people will not live in fear of you.”
InuYasha growled. “Do you think my mother was afraid when she died? Do you think she lived in fear?”
“Your mother died at her time-”
“My mother was stolen from me! You took her because you and your mistress thought you could manipulate me into doing what you wanted if you did!?” InuYasha prepared himself to strike. “Do not try to justify what you did by saying it was her time! Do not lie to me when I know why you did what you did!”
“I did what I was told to do. I was told that Izayoi’s time had come, so I did what I was created to do. I need not justify my actions to-”
InuYasha would hear no more. He put a stop to Death’s words by beheading him. InuYasha had done the impossible; InuYasha had done away with Death.
A ripple passes through the earth, ignored by its cause. InuYasha had disturbed the balance of the universe, but he didn’t care, he had gotten his revenge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That ripple had not gone unnoticed by all. Somewhere deep underground, far from the temple Rashere, a dark presence arose. The shadows that made up its habitat twisted to make way for his assent into the surface world.
“She’s tried it again, my lovelies, my lovelies.” It said in a grinding voice. “She’s chosen for her son another mate. Poor her, my lovelies, my lovelies, She seems so confidant in this one; so sure that Sesshomaru won’t break him; so confidant that this one won’t end up like me”
He unleashed a great and terrible laugh that shook the foundations of our Earth. “I, myself, will test this choice. I will break him, I will use him, I will take him and he will be mine, not Sesshomaru’s!” He laughed once more as he breached the surface and disappeared into the shadows of the night.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘That voice!’ She rose and peered into the darkness. ‘It cannot be!’
She moved quickly, easily passing through the human rock, to the place She knew he would lay. She was astounded to find the hollow empty; void of the being that should have been locked within. She rushed up again
“Sesshomaru!” She cried attempting to awaken her son. “Get up, Sesshomaru; your mate is in terrible danger!”
Sesshomaru rose, groggily “What?” He blinked away the mist that the fall created behind his eyes. “Where is InuYasha? Did you send him away when I was unconscious? I asked if he could accompany me and you gave me leave to take him. Why, then, did you send him away from me?”
She rolled Her eyes and sighed. “I didn’t send him away, the child ran. You must fetch him at once. Leai has escaped and I fear he will attempt to harm your mate as an act of revenge. You must prevent this, Sesshomaru.”
Sesshomaru rose from his place on the floor. “I don’t understand this, Mother. Was Leai not supposed to be my mate before you chose InuYasha?”
“Yes, Sesshomaru, he was. However, he proved himself unworthy of you and he was discarded. Did this displease you, Sesshomaru? Did you want Leai to be your mate?”
He sighed. “No, I did not enjoy being in Leai’s company. He was an unpleasant person in both looks and in attitude. Though, InuYasha does not seem to be any more pleasant attitude wise.”
“He can change, Sesshomaru. He likes you. He will grow to love you But if he to do this, he must live, Leai will kill him, Sesshomaru, and his death will not be a quick one. You know Leai; you know what he is capable of. InuYasha will suffer if you do not help him.”
“Alright, I will go. But I will not bring him back here. I will take him to the manor and care for him there.” He turned towards the door. “Know this, mother; I will require you to explain your actions in regards to your treatment of my mate.”
“Of course, my son.”
With that, he was gone. He raced through the trees in search of InuYasha. When he caught the scent of his future mate he slowed, the scent was strong; it must be fresh; InuYasha must still be in the general vicinity. He walked forward absent mindedly, pondering Leai’s return and the reasons for it.
The only reason his mother chose Leai as a potential mate was because he had displayed a strong will and seemed to be powerful enough to hold his own next to him when they were bound to one another. Leai, however, was not able to cope with the stress of being mated to the Lord of the Western Lands, a title that Sesshomaru inherited from his father, InuTaisho. In fact, he chose to neglect the responsibilities that Sesshomaru had given him in favor of shopping for expensive clothes and jewelry and having affairs with as many good-looking men as were willing to get intimate with their Lord’s fiancé.
When Sesshomaru found out, he had Leai taken away from his home and had everything Leai purchased returned, without asking to be repaid. What happened after that was none of Sesshomaru’s concern. He did know that Leai attempted to take the manor, but his attempt was thwarted, so Sesshomaru paid no mind to it. He had more important things to do than deal with a jilted, traitorous lover from the past.
Now, however, it seemed that Leai planned to meddle in his future, and that could not be allowed. InuYasha would not be harmed by Leai, he would see to that personally. If he was harmed, Leai would be with his life.
Lost in his musings, Sesshomaru was not looking where he was going and he tripped over what he thought was a log. He looked back and saw that it was, in fact, a body….Death’s body!
How could this be? No one he knew could have killed Death. Come on, how could Death die!? He was freakin’ Death! He took in the scents around him. InuYasha. InuYasha had done this, he must have! … No! Leai! Perhaps Leai did this! Sesshomaru, however knew this was not the truth. It was his mate’s claws that took this life…Death…whatever.
“InuYasha,” He sighed. “Do you realize what you’ve done?” He tilted his head up, as though speaking to the sky, “Do you know who is chasing you, young one? Have you a clue what evil hunts you now, my love?”
“No, but if you linger here any longer, Lord Sesshomaru, I’m sure he will know soon enough.”
Sesshomaru turned toward the intruding voice. “Who are you? Show yourself coward!”
“Name calling will not save him, my lord.” The voice called mockingly. “You won’t save him that way.” A figure stepped out of the shadows. It’s eyes were sunken and black, skin pale, deathly looking, its build small, skinny, all bone, it possessed no hair.
“Who are you vile creature?” Sesshomaru repeated, snarling now. “What do you know of my mate?”
The figure took on a look of obviously feigned sorrow. “Lord Sesshomaru, I’m hurt. How can you not remember a faithful servant such as I? I thought we were friends.”
Sesshomaru wore a look of disgust upon his face. “As though I would befriend a heathen such as yourself.”
The creature smiled, revealing an even row of sharp, pointed teeth. “You really don’t remember me do you?” It shrugged. “My name is Le’ere, or as you know me, or knew me as the case seems to be, Kazumi.”
Sesshomaru’s surprise showed clearly. “Kazumi… what happened to you?”
“Your former mate happened to me! Seduced me and took me with him when he fell. This,” he gestured to his misshapen body, “is from years of living in the darkness of purgatory for so long!”
“I am sorry, my friend.” Sesshomaru said, sorrowfully. “Had I known Leai would do such a thing I never would have allowed him to live.”
Le’ere laughed. “Let me tell you a secret, Lord Sesshomaru.” He leaned towards him. “Leai did die. There is a rumor, though that he sold his soul to your ungodly uncle, Versale, in exchange for the power to do war with you. We all know what happens after that. Now, Leai is no longer a creature of this world.” Le’ere laughed once again. “And now he is after his replacement, my Lord.” He says that he will take this one for himself. You young mate must be a truly powerful being for Leai to desire him as he does.” He gained a pondering look. “Since when were you a cradle robber?”
Sesshomaru frowned. “I must go.” He rushed away in the direction that InuYasha had run.
Le’ere continued laughing. “Run, Lord Sesshomaru, and pray that you reach your young mate in time, lest my master find him first!”
That laugh followed him the whole way and a creeping dread filled his heart, He prayed to his celestial family that InuYasha would be safe; he prayed he would reach him in time…
…He prayed in vain…
