Sesshomaru and the Resurrection
Chapter 1: Restlessness of Tensaiga
“Inuyasha, it has been 5 days… There is no indication of her return. “
Sesshomaru said. Every since Inuyasha returned from the Bone-Eaters Well—ALONE—he had not moved from that spot. He neither drank nor slept.
“I think she has returned to her world for good. “ He added. Sesshomaru couldn't believe it: He was worried about his puny brother. Rin had made him soft. So had another individual…
‘I am the Wind, the free Wind.’
Sesshomaru couldn't get those final last words out of his mind. He also had other worries. Tensaiga had been rattling the past few days. It was in a state of unrest. Sesshomaru didn't understand why. Inuyasha finally spoke after what seemed like forever.
“Yeah I know… I have the right to grieve don't I?”
“Yes of course. I will leave you back to your solitude. I must speak with the old woman. “
Inuyasha didn't reply, but simply nodded. Sesshomaru nodded back, and returned to the village.
“Oh dear… the harvest won't be bountiful this year…” Kaede commented sadly.
“Old woman….” Sesshomaru muttered.
Kaede rolled her eyes, as she tried to salvage what she could from the crops that didn't die from the miasma.
“Yes, what is it?” Kaede asked, clearly annoyed.
5 minutes later in what was left of Kaede's hut…
“I see…So you wish to leave the Young girl Rin here?” Kaede concluded from the conversation they just finished, pouring him more tea.
“Ah, thank you… The Truth of the matter is this…ever since Naraku’s demise a week ago…my blade Tensaiga has been restless. It rattles more so when I walk the edge of the village. It is almost as if it is guiding me somewhere…”
“And you are concerned that wherever path it leads that is a dangerous one…correct?”
The old woman had beaten the dog demon to the punch. Sesshomaru nodded, sipping his tea.
“I also want her to experience normalcy of life in a village. I want her to have a chance at life, a human life. When she is old enough, she can decide then if she continues being with me or not.” He finished, finishing his tea as well.
“Very well. I think I am inclined to agree. We are at peace now, so she is safe here. Especially with Inuyasha around. You will visit of course, yes?” She asked. Though from Sesshomaru's point of view it felt like she was not asking, but telling.
“Yes, when I can. You have my gratitude Old Woman. “ Sesshomaru praised, setting his cup down.
“Indeed, but what will you do about Young Rin? She will be heartbroken..
” Kaede stated in a matter—of—fact— way.
“Yes…Tell her it was your choice. This way she will not think I betrayed her.” Sesshomaru replied, getting up.
“Yes, that is best I suppose…” Kaede muttered sadly, as she reluctantly agreed. Sesshomaru exited the hut and pulled on Ah-Un's reigns.
“Jaken, we're leaving…” Sesshomaru ordered.
“Oh, yes me lord, WAIT, what about Rin? She has not yet returned from the monk's place. “ Jaken said.
Sesshomaru grimaced and turned.
“She stays here. Now move, or I shall leave you behind as well. “ He finished, speaking no more.
“Oh! Y-Yes me lord…” Out of fear, Jaken followed suit, as they vanished into the clouds on Ah-Un. Sesshomaru looked down, as Tensaiga was once more rattling in its sheath. In his mind he echoed:
'Now Tensaiga, lead the way. '
Note: Been working on this since High school. Finally kneaded out the kinks. This was and still is my very first KaguraxSesshomaru fic! Sorry this Chapter is super short, but I promise the next will be a longer one.
