What's mine is yours, But what's mine is mine

Chapter 38: Akai ito

Naraku forcefully grabbed her hand and with the sharp knife drew blood from her open palm. Rin could only cry in pain as the crimson fluid flowed down the sharp edge of the dagger to the golden bowl under.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you." He took the bowl when he had collected enough blood from her. "Yet."

Rin couldn't press hard on her bleeding hand with the other as she was tied down, so she clenched her fists instead.

"What are you planning on?" Rin screamed after him as he crossed the hall to the other side of the room.

"Patience Sahzada. You'll know soon enough." He opened the large doors. "Bring him in!" At his command, large built guards dragged Sesshomaru's unconscious body and shackled him to the wall.

"You monster! What did you do to him?" Enraged, Rin felt her body numb with the pain.

"Nothing. I only asked him to sleep. Believe it or not, I asked him kindly." He laughed menacingly as he held the necklace of subjugation that still hung on Sesshomaru's neck.

Without warning, Naraku sliced through Sesshomaru's palm, leaving a large cut. Fresh blood flowed out and down his outstretched arm, staining his white haori.

"No!" Rin cried out. "Please, stop!" She could only watch as Naraku pressed harder on the exposed flesh to draw out more blood into the gold bowl. Mixing it with hers. Rin couldn't take it anymore. She felt nauseated.

"Stop!" And upon her scream the ground shook. Dust of sands floated about for a few seconds.

That earned Naraku's attention and made him stop. "It's time."

Naraku stabbed himself and added his blood into the mix. He flipped through pages of very old and scrawny looking scrolls. When he found what he was looking for, he walked towards her and forcefully dragged her near Onigumo's frozen statue.

"You know what to do with him."

One of the guards brought out Bakusaiga and Tensaiga. While the other called out to Koga.

"Do the honors." Naraku sneered.

Koga held Tensaiga against the torch light. Appreciation evident in his eyes. It is a sword of good quality after all. Nothing but the best for the Lord of the west, isn't it?

He wouldn't, would he? Rin feared for the worst.

"Isn't it befitting? That he dies by his own sword?" Rin could only gape at his cruel words.

And without as much a second thought, Koga stabbed Sesshomaru straight through with his own sword.

Rin fought her way out of Naraku's grip, causing her to fall on her knees since she was still tied up. "Stop Koga!" Her broken sobs echoed through the walls. "No! Please!"

But he didnt't hear her pleas. He grabbed Bakusaiga next. And pierced Sesshomaru through his heart.

"Sesshomaru!"

.

.

Sesshomaru. Or in lay man's terms, the killing perfection. No wonder why he was named Sesshomaru. He has youkai blood. And its starting to show. He really didn't mean to attack that insolent kid. But when he called him 'a freak of nature', he couldn't stop himself.

His nanny called for him to stop. But darkness had consumed him and he couldn't hear her.

So his father, Inu no Taisho, sent him to where his mother is. They said that sealing his youkai blood will help him live normally until he is able to control it.
