Cycle
In the dark halls of the ancient
castle, quiet feet padded on cracking wooden floors. Dim light shone
through the paper walls ahead of him, silhouetting the pair on the
bed into an indecipherable single mass, and he silently came level
with the door, nudging it aside to open a crack for his eye. A figure
in white sat on the edge with his back to him, long silver hair
falling to his side and mostly hiding the body he held.
“Father...”
The figures didn't move, but a quiet
voice drifted from them. “Please go, Tennin.”
“No, father.” He slipped
into the room and approached the bed, kneeling and lightly setting
his hand on his parent's shoulder. From his side he could see into
his lap, and see the frail body he was cradling so gently. His
uncle's hair had gone from silver to pure white, and thinned slowly
over the years until it barely covered his head. His ears were almost
bald, drooping weakly toward his head.
“Let 'em stay, Sesshou...”
he murmured, a frail hand coming up to pat his mate's arm. Vague,
pale golden eyes opened and wandered up to him. “Inu... 'S Inu
here...?” he murmured absently.
“No, uncle.” He squeezed
his father's shoulder gently, seeing the way his hands tightened
around Inuyasha and held him close. “I sent him out when we
learned that you were ill. He wouldn't have been able to take this.”
“Oh...” He closed his eyes
again and turned his face into his mate's chest. Inuyasha had fallen
ill months ago, and Inumaru had been sent on his quest into the human
world months ago, to occupy him. Inuyasha had been told this since it
happened, but he still asked after him every day. “...'S a good
idea... He's my kid, ya know...”
“We know, Uncle. He knows. He
loves you.”
“Love you two... too...”
His muttering trailed off.
In the silence, Sesshoumaru bowed his
head, shoulders tense. Tennin held his shoulder gently, but said
nothing. Inuyasha was not yet dead, but he was very close; he
couldn't survive the hour, let alone the night. There was no way of
knowing what Sesshoumaru was going through right now, and nothing he
could say to make it any better on him.
It was a long time before Inuyasha
spoke again. When he did, even youkai ears had to strain to hear him.
“Take... care of each... oth...”
The word was never finished. When it
faded away, Tennin knew that his uncle had finally passed on with the
high whine of pure pain that escaped his father. Sesshoumaru clutched
his body close with his single arm and leaned over him, head bowed
into his neck. His whines were muffled in the dead body he held, a
small and pathetic sound in the dim room.
Tennin watched him and respected his
privacy for only a moment before he firmly wrapped his arms around
Sesshoumaru's shoulders. “Hold on, father,” he counseled
quietly, touching his hair gently. “You have the strength to
live without him, if you want to.” His fingers brushed over the
mating bite on his father's neck, the mark that bound him and
Inuyasha together, so much so that it was more likely than not that
he would die with his mate. Not written in stone, however. “You
can live, father. You have only to want to.”
The problem was wanting to. Why should
he want to live when his mate had died? Sesshoumaru was, perhaps,the
strongest youkai alive, but that meant nothing if he didn't want to
remain alive.
His father made no sign that he had
heard him. Would it be cruel of him to want his father to live this
way, alone, when he had been mated for almost four hundred years?
Perhaps, he should simply let him die, if he wanted to...
But, he didn't want to bury two parents
today. It might be kinder to simply let him die, and maybe he should,
but he couldn't. Almost unwilling, he touched his father's chin and
urged him to look up at him. Candlelight reflected from wetness in
his eyes and large, round pupils. He had never before thought that
Sesshoumaru could cry...
“You can live,” he
murmured. “Please.”
Sesshoumaru swallowed what was probably
another whine of pain and closed his eyes, bowing his head. There was
no indication whether he meant it as agreement or not, but he didn't
ask; he helped his father to lay down and gently took Inuyasha's body
from him, and sat at his side stroking his hair until he fell asleep,
or passed out from the emotional exhaustion.
The candle burned all the way down, and
he had not yet died; Tennin guessed he would live, though only time
would tell. Stroking his hair once more, then lightly touching one of
the stripes on his cheek, he slid from the bed and picked up his
uncles body, carrying him gently outside to take care of his body
before Sesshoumaru woke.
