Note:
If anyone was confused by my
wording of Sesshomaru�s feral state, let me explain. It wasn�t his dog demon
form as that is his original demon form. This feral state is something that I
got the idea off of rabid animals. It�s the way rabid animals act when in that
state, going down to a pure animal instinct, snarling and foaming at the mouth.
They�re suddenly wild again even though they used to be house pets. Look at Benji. It shows that there is a part of them that is beyond
any reason or concern of nature. Nothing is of consequence but themselves. Anyway,
I thought that some demons could have that kind of state, depending on how it
emerges in their lives.

The Captive Bride

Chapter Nine � Somehow You
Changed Me

�Sesshomaru.�
The young dog demon
stepped forward, nearing the crimson silk sheet covered bed. Lying between the
covers lay a beautiful demon woman. Her hair was lavender and its long lengths
covered the sheets. The purple markings upon her wrists and face were faded in
contrast to the pale cream color of her skin. She breathed in labored gasps,
taking time to fill her lungs completely. Her body was wrapped in a green bed
dress, plastered with sweat to her thin frame. She reached out a hand and
beckoned for his. Slowly Sesshomaru raised his hand and took her hand in his
own. He lifted his golden eyes to stare into her shining blue orbs.
�My
son, my magnificent son.� She uttered with a raspy voice. �I can not
stay by your side anymore. My wounds from the battle have overtaken my body.� A
spasm of coughs interrupted her words. Wiping her mouth with a cloth, blood
appeared on the white fabric.
�Sesshomaru, you, the
son of a dog demon and a poison demon, will be the most powerful Lord this land
will ever see. I am sure of it. Your genes flow with infinite power.�
He shook his head. �Mother,
this Sesshomaru couldn�t be what you say. Father is more powerful than I will
ever be. Father will be Lord forever.�
�NO!� She tightened her
grip around his hand. �Do not doubt your blood! You ARE powerful! One day, even
your father will fall to the blade of the grim reaper. When that time comes,
you will be able to take the position as Lord over these lands. But you must
first learn how to hold that power or you will never succeed.�
He lowered his eyes,
angered by her choice of words. He stepped back, throwing away her hand. �I do
not want this power! I couldn�t help you in battle and I can�t help you here!
What good is power like mine if I can�t use it to my will?�
Sesshomaru�s mother
stared after the angered form of her young son in pity. He knew so little of
life and how quickly existence could be taken away. Maybe someday he could be
changed for the better; maybe someone could change him.
�Sesshomaru,� She
whispered through drying lips. �You would not have been able to protect me even
if you had been there. I have lived my life to the fullest. Make sure that you
take every opportunity available in your life, because you may not get another
chance. Remember my son, I will always watch over you.�

With that, she fell back
against her pillow, allowing her last breath to escape her body. In seconds,
Sesshomaru knew that she was dead. He slowly turned away from the body of his departed
mother and exited the room, silently making his way down the corridor. If he
had passed his father in the hall, he did not notice. There was a great pain
burning in his chest that needed to be let out. Making his way through the
house, Sesshomaru ended up in the back gardens. He stopped in the middle of a
path and stared silently ahead.
A young wolf demon
skidded to a stop in front of Sesshomaru, his high ponytail of black hair
flying against his face. A young female wolf demon with red bouncy pigtails
slammed into his back, unaware of his sudden ending to the run.
The young wolf gazed at
the dog�s face, unnerved by his emotionless fa�ade. �Sess. How�s she doin�?� He
questioned, hoping for the better side of news.
�Koga!� Chastised the red head behind him who was pinching his face.
�You know you�re not supposed to talk about Lady Misaki!�
�She�s dead.� Came the flat response from Sesshomaru.
The wolves stopped their
fight and turned back to stare at Sesshomaru. The news shocked them far more
than they had expected.
�Gods, Sess. I�I don�t
know what to say.� Koga�s words drifted off and his eyes widened as he stared
at Sesshomaru�s face.
Slowly the amber ice
that used to be Sesshomaru�s eyes were changing their color, developing from into
deep red and then an intense dark purple. Koga took a step back, grabbing
Ayame�s shoulders to pull her back as well. Whatever was happening to
Sesshomaru, it wasn�t going to have a good outcome.
Throwing his head back
unexpectedly, Sesshomaru let out a loud howl that could only be explained by
his hidden grief. Slowly his head rolled back forward and he met eyes with Koga
and Ayame once more. Both wolves took an automatic step back, the look from
Sesshomaru saying everything. Without another second, Sesshomaru had rocketed
out of the gardens and into the lush countryside that surrounded the dog demon
home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pain rolled through
Rin�s head like a steam train on the express lane. She groaned, voicing her
dislike of the unbearable throbbing. Leaning forward, she placed her head in
her hands and breathed deep. All of a sudden, a loud animalistic roar filled
the air, rumbling deep through her headache. Snapping her head up at the sound,
Rin�s eyes widened and all the memories of the attack came flowing back. But it
wasn�t the details of the attack that stunned Rin, it
was the scene happening before her.
Her eyes couldn�t
believe it was Sesshomaru, it was nothing like she had
seen him before. With a dark and obvious aura surrounding him, Sesshomaru was
tearing round the grounds, chasing after Koga, who ducked and dodged the
attacks. His silver hair was wild with the forceful twisting air surrounding
him. Eyes brazen with an unnatural color, he appeared to act like a wild animal,
attacking anything that moved.
Turning her head away
from the fight, she noticed Ayame and Kagome both unconscious, leaning against
a tall white pillar. Slowly she stood, wincing at a pain that ran up her back.
Forcing herself up, the calamity unfolded before her eyes once more. Her mind
surveying the battle, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
�Don�t even think about
it.�
Twisting to find the
owner of the voice, Rin found the eyes of a younger man with long white silver
hair and a pair of dog ears upon his head. He wore a dark red t-shirt and tan
cargo pants. �I wasn�t thinking anything, I�ll have you know. I�m just a bit
confused, that�s all.�
�I�m sure you are. Not
many humans get to see a show like this. But like I said, don�t even think
about interfering. �
�Humans?�
Her eyes drifted up toward his twitching ears. �You�re not human, are you?�
�Whatever gave you that
idea?� Inuyasha commented sarcastically. His gaze turned back toward Sesshomaru
and Koga, sighing heavily. �Look, we�re not human. Sesshomaru, Koga, and Ayame
are full blooded demons. I�m half human and demon, that why I have the ears.
I�m surprised Sesshomaru hasn�t told you any of this. Though, now he�s the problem.
If we don�t do something quick, we may have a bigger crisis on our hands.
Somehow we have to change him back to normal.�
�Change him back?� Rin
asked looking back at the scene and then to Inuyasha�s face. �What did he do?�
�What did he do?�
Inuyasha scoffed, �He saved your butt, that�s what! He resorted to letting out
his feral side. Now that he scared Naraku off, we have to figure out a way to transform
him back.� He crossed his arms, annoyed at the situation. �Koga�s having a
grand time trying though.�
Rin followed Inuyasha�s
gaze and watched Koga maneuver between Sesshomaru�s attacks. They both moved
like lightning and she only caught glimpses of the attacks as they slowed down.
Suddenly Koga was blown back, hurtling his body through a fence and skidding
across the ground. Sesshomaru stopped attacking, letting the air around him
settle. He glared at the prone form of his opponent, daring him to get up.
�Koga!�
Yelled Rin, her muscles tensing at the danger posed upon him.
�Damn wolf! Looks like
I�ll have to take on Sesshomaru next.� Inuyasha growled, scowling at his brother.
He was just about to run in and start the attack again, but a movement beside
him diverted his attention. �Shit! RIN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?� He yelled
at her running form, making tracks toward Sesshomaru and Koga.
Rin looked over her
shoulder, but didn�t respond to Inuyasha�s question. Instead, she was intent on
reaching Sesshomaru before anything else happened.
It wasn�t a but a few
seconds that she was at Koga�s side, ignoring the fact
that Sesshomaru was glaring her down. She stood defensively toward the looming
figure of her future husband, arms outstretched in protection.
�Sesshomaru!
Stop it!� She pleaded with him, taking slow steps forward. �You can stop this!
You don�t need to be in this form anymore! Koga isn�t the enemy, he�s your friend!�
Her words passed by
Sesshomaru�s ears, unheeded. The wind started to stir around him once more,
tossing around his silver hair wildly. Rin stopped walking and swallowed the
lump of fear that was growing in her throat. If he had attacked Koga, then he could
attack her just as well. What was she thinking, running out here?
�Sesshomaru, please snap
out of it! Can�t you see who I am? Can�t you see my face? Don�t you know what
you�re doing?� The courage gathering in Rin, she started taking bold steps once
more toward Sesshomaru�s form. �Look at me! I�m fine and so is everyone else!
You�ve done your job! Wake up and look around! Naraku is gone!�
She stopped a few feet
just short of touching Sesshomaru. Rin noticed that she had to be touching
something inside that dark exterior, because he had yet to even attack her.
�I don�t know what
you�re going through and I can�t imagine what its like, but you have to come
out. If you loose yourself, I can�t forgive you. Sesshomaru!�
Abruptly
Sesshomaru�s arm shot out, grabbing Rin around the neck and began strangling
the girl, his grip tightening every second. Rin gasped at the sudden shot of
pain that ran through her body. Her eyes searched the purple orbs that glowered
down upon her, trying to find any sign of the man she used to know. She
struggled to fight against the hand that grew tight around her throat, already
her mind starting to fade. Gasping for one last lungful of air, she let out the
only words that passed through her mind, �Just remember who you are.�
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
�If you loose yourself,
I can�t forgive you.�
Those
words rang though his head over and over. His hand, gripping the thin throat of
Rin, struggled to release its grasp, but the anger he held within fought
against it, telling him to Kill, Kill, KILL!!
The words dove deep inside Sesshomaru, rekindling the anger that had
almost died. His grip tightened once more around the frail throat, threatening
to snap it like a twig. He felt the struggle of her against his grip, using up
the last bit of her energy. He smiled wickedly to himself, feeling her life
drain away like color from a painting.
There
was a sharp intake of breath as she took her last breath. Almost to the end, a
voice shattered the barrier to his mind. �Just remember who you are.�
It reverberated like an echo. The anger that
was fueled so deeply died instantly and the dark light he saw began to vanish. Sesshomaru
blinked his eyes, returning to the reality of the outside world. He then saw
Rin�s throat caught in his deadly grasp and immediately opened his hand,
dropping her like a hot plate. Landing on the ground, Rin coughed and wheezed,
filling her lungs with the air she needed so badly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The events that happened
only yesterday remained fresh in everyone�s minds. After Sesshomaru had awoken
from his feral state, it had been hard for him to even look at Rin. She had to
hate him by now since he had nearly taken her life without a flicker of
emotion. He vividly remembered the calling of hate that flashed through his
mind, seeing her frailty breaking under his grip.
Standing out on the
balcony of his bedroom, Sesshomaru stared out into the open space that
surrounded the mansion, a grimacing frown upon his lips. Was everything really
worth all of the effort he had put into it?
A light knocking
interrupted his thoughts and he turned to see Koga in a suit entering the
bedroom. The neatly dressed wolf walked with a slight limp, another constant
reminder to Sesshomaru of what he had almost done.
�You ready, Sess?� Koga
questioned, stopping beside him on the balcony.
Sesshomaru sighed
lightly. �Yeah, I guess. I mean I asked
her to do this, might as well get it over with!� He said gruffly, spinning on a
heel and headed into the walk-in closet.
Koga watched with
laughter in his eyes as the dog-demon rapidly changed clothes and then stepped
out, garbed in a dark blue suit.
