Dreams Come True:Sequel to Dream Confessions

Chapter 11: Blizzard

A/N: Thanks for everyone’s support so far! Here’s the next installment of this fan fiction, enjoy!!!

Cold was not the appropriate word to describe the Inu brothers current surroundings, freezing was more like it. And to make matters worst, the grey ominous clouds increased in number, indicating that a blizzard was likely to begin soon. While his elder brother seemed unfazed by the teeth chattering, shivering evoking windy atmosphere, Inuyasha was not so lucky. Not only did his bare feet feel the bone chilling hard ground when Sesshoumaru allowed said feet to touch the ground, his entire body felt as if he was frozen in a glacier for 50 years instead of pinned to the sacred tree by the bone eaters well. The only difference was that while his soul ached immensely from Naraku’s deception for a long time; his body currently ached because of his already weaken state and the icy air Naraku created in his wrapped mind. Although Kagome and the rest of his pack made him feel loved and cherished, a small part of his heart still held on to what transpired between him and the original bearer of Kagome’s soul Kikyou…the betrayal they both suffered all because of the evil Naraku.

The flashes of all the pain Naraku caused himself and more importantly his pack reminded him of just how much he loathes the spider hanyou. Inuyasha was even pissed off by the agony he caused Kagura and the trouble he caused his brother. The younger sibling actually held pity for his former enemies’ situation. Though he knew Kagome, his love and mate was alive and safe in her time, he was separated from her for three long years. Three years of wondering if she would ever be able to come back to him. Three years of trying to figure out a way to follow her five hundred years into the future. Three years of hoping that he would live long enough to see her again, if only for a moment.

It was a very painful time for Inuyasha indeed; he knows what its like to be worlds away from your soul mate. Inuyasha also experience the anguish of losing his first love Kikyou to the jaws of death. The miko’s life was cut too short to soon and he missed the memories he could have created with his first love. Hence the pity he felt for his elder sibling and for the wind element youkai. Both brothers experienced loss of the beings that were precious to them due to the evil deeds of the spider. Yet another feature the brothers have in common, their pure explicit odium for the hell raiser Naraku.


Although Sesshoumaru can be a cold bastard most of the time (not to mention a hell raiser in his own right), Inuyasha knew that the big Inu had some form of compassion and Sesshoumaru actually gave a damn about at least a few beings in existence…if not more. After all Sesshoumaru did release the souls of humans unknown to him. Humans that did not deserve to be in the façade that is Naraku’s version of hell, or any hell for that matter. That gestured showed that Sesshoumaru at least tolerated some human beings…well the decent ones. Inuyasha also knew that if Sesshoumaru cared about Kagura as much as he did Kagome, then Sesshoumaru suffered a tremendous amount of sorrow when he lost the wind sorceress. Especially since at the time of her lost the daiyoukai could do nothing to aid his soul mate except for watch her die, revert back to her true form and fly away.

Inuyasha was actually surprised at himself for concerning himself with their wellbeing, as well as having sympathy for them. He wondered if he considered those two, his former enemies’ members of his pack.

‘I’ll address that shit later, thinking to much is making my head ache…I’m freezing my ass off! I’m even thinking about telling that bastard to share his oversized fur ball tail for awhile. Naw, if I did that I’ll never hear the end of it. Look at him all warm and cozy…then again maybe not, he’s standing there like a frozen statue…’ Inuyasha thought as he scowled at his elder sibling out of the corner of his left eye.

Inuyasha willed his teeth to decrease their chattering so he could ask his brother ‘why the hell where they standing in one spot’ when the blizzard started to pour down on their forms suddenly as if someone dumped a huge bucket of white confetti over their heads.

“Ouch Dammit!!!” Inuyasha yelped as large round hail stones the size of golf balls accompanied the fall of the large beautiful snowflakes moments later. He covered his head with his unsheathed transformed Tessaiga in an attempt to protect himself from the blizzard’s onslaught.

The deadly aura within the daiyoukai spiked as he did not even bother to shield himself from the winter storm. After a few moments Sesshoumaru gracefully position himself in a fighting stance with his Tensaiga in his right hand placed diagonally in front of him.

Inuyasha white and Sesshoumaru silver and blue mane whipped around them as the speed of the wind increased. Their clothing now damp from the winter storm clung to their forms as their sleeves rippled in the wind. Sesshoumaru red blazing hot aura which was a paradox to the icy ruthlessness he had toward his prey and their freezing environment outlined his body, causing all the snow, hail and sleet that came within his proximity to melt. The frosty material that came near him could not withstand the fury the daiyoukai emitted.

Inuyasha witness all of this with unspoken amazement. Never had he felt such heat coming from the stoic figure at his side, even when he transformed into his true form. Inuyasha saw his brothers’ narrow golden orbs flash red and heard his brother speak in a soft deep tone as the gale of the storm intensified, the increased force of the gust due to Sesshoumaru’s aura:

“Inuyasha…”

“Yeah?!” Inuyasha nearly shouted over the wind as he covered himself with his blade.

“Move.” Sesshoumaru stated in the same baritone he used earlier. As so as those words left his lips a huge lighting bolt came barreling towards where they stood.

Once again Inuyasha did as he was told and jump back away from the bolt and landed after sliding a few feet in a crouch. Inuyasha did not like this new habit he was developing, listening to his elder brother. However this particular time he was glad he did, if he had be rebellious he would have been one dead Inu.

When Inuyasha looked up from his crouched position he saw his brother had not bulged. There was a large hole in the ground mere inches away from Sesshoumaru’s right boot. The hole was surrounded by something so cold that cold fog was seeping from said hole. Thinking that his baka brother had completely lost his mind he shouted:

“You dumbass, you knew that was coming and did move the fuck out of the way! What the fucking hell, ya think your invincible or something?!” Inuyasha scowled as he said this pissed at his brother actions or lack there of. However concurrently he was silently thanking the ‘dumbass’ for warning him to haul ass out of the way.

Just because Sesshoumaru thought he was a major badass did not mean he should place himself in unnecessary danger. Sesshoumaru has always had a habit of doing just that. More then once he practically told Inuyasha to use the Tessaiga against him, not to mention willing walking into Naraku’s traps. Sesshoumaru had the tendency to let his pride and stubbornness get the best of him. Now however those tendencies have decreased to most of the time instead of all the time. Inuyasha remembers that on more then one occasion Sesshoumaru was hurt and almost killed. Inuyasha should remember, he was the one who almost ended his elder sibling life with the WindScar. If it wasn’t for Tensaiga protecting Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha holding back his swing, the daiyoukai might have been in his grave years ago. He also saw the damage Magatsuhi did to Sesshoumaru that faithful day his brother regained his arm and the Bakusaiga. What the fuck was he thinking!?

Sesshoumaru ignored his younger brother’s rude display of concern. Sesshoumaru learned the hard way that although he was abnormally powerful for a youkai, he was not unconquerable; Inuyasha made sure he learned that lesson. Despite the fact that his power has increased immensely since Inuyasha awoken from his fifty year slumber, the daiyoukai could receive grave injuries or possibly meet his demise. However he like his brother and father was an extremely ‘dogged’ individual. He did not feel that the lighting was a danger to his person so why bother to move? Inuyasha however was another story, hence why he commanded he move out of harm’s way.

Normally Sesshoumaru did not bother to explain himself to anyone, especially when he was in a particularly foul mood, like he was at that moment. But for some reason, possibly so Inuyasha bring his focus to what was unfolding in front of them instead of needlessly worrying about his safety.

Sesshoumaru fierce arctic golden eyes glowered straight ahead as he looked for the one responsible for the big hole next to his foot. The one who was foolish enough to attack a certain red clad hanyou under his protection. The daiyoukai also glared at the audacity of his younger brother. The little baka twerp had the gall to voice his concern for ‘this Sesshoumaru’ as if he was some weak human…he dared bratty pup! That was another event added to the ‘reasons why he was going to kick Inuyasha’s ass’ list when they reached Earth realm! Trying to control the annoyance he felt due his brother insulting concern for him, he spoke in a baritone voice in a lower octave then usual, indicating how pissed he really was and said:

“A hunter does not flee from any quarry Inuyasha…cornered prey, they finish it off.” Sesshoumaru said with finality. To him Naraku was nothing but a weak creature attempting to use pathetic attacks to escape a predator. Naraku twisted mind believes that he has lured the Inu brothers into his trap. However things are not working out as the spider planned and as far as the daiyoukai was concerned, the eight legged insect was the one that was ensnared.

Seconds later before Inuyasha could think of a retort to Sesshoumaru’s statement, another large malicious bolt of lighting hit not fifteen feet away from Sesshoumaru.

He took a protective fighting stance in front of Inuyasha with his feet a little over a shoulder length apart and his Tensaiga still positioned in front of him diagonally. His facial expression displayed the nastiest glare anyone has every seen on the daiyoukai countenance. Said glare was directed toward one of the beings that appeared after the lighting receded.

One of the figures had long hip length curly black hair that was tangled and covered most of her face except for one of her orbs. Her left eye that was not concealed by her matted mane was a blank pale pink instead of the usual fiery ruby red color. She looked as if she was lost in a trance. She was still naked with bruises, cuts and old blood stains all over her form. Her ghostly pale skin lacked its usual healthy glow, it seemed dull and colorless. Her body was more transparent then normal for any soul. Both brothers could see clearly that she was a shadow of her spirit…she was fading away rapidly into the creature surrounding her.

The other malevolent figure that seemed to outline her smaller form however looked healthy with his long black curly tresses, white baboon pelt, dark blue pants and black boots. His toned chest and abdomen where bare showing the women imprisoned inside of his vibrant looking form. The bastard was sporting his usual arrogant smirk in response to the bone chilling glare he received, then he laughed as he spoke:

“Kukuku, it is most amusing to see the great Lord Sesshoumaru so close to your would be soul mate, yet inept to save her. Why you cannot even do something as simple as speak to her and declare your undying love, she cannot hear you.” He taunted in a sweet mocking tone as he stood tall in front of the daiyoukai.

Though it seemed impossible, Sesshoumaru fierce look intensified. The wind picked up around the daiyoukai silently showing his increase ire with the spider by unleashing more of his power. Inuyasha let his angry be known the way he usually did, by verbally articulating it. Inuyasha growled as he shouted:

“Cut the shit you soul sucking freak-“

Naraku rant was interrupted by the deep smooth voice that had spoken moments before:

“Inuyasha, I would think that since your first love Kikyou was a ‘soul sucking freak’ as you fluently put it, you would not have a problem with beings that feed off of spirits…” He said as his smirk widen as he gauged Inuyasha’s reaction.

“I dare you even think of comparing yourself to Kikyou you bastard!” Inuyasha growled as advanced forward at a quick pace blizzard forgotten, only to be halted by his brother’s voice:

“Stay back Inuyasha.” Inuyasha frowned and thought something about ‘bossy brother’s’ and how badly he wanted to make Naraku suffer but did as he was told.

Inuyasha knew he could not attack Naraku directly with his blade; it was not built to destroy souls. Even if it was he would be placing Kagura in danger as well. Now that he thought about it, how the hell was Sesshoumaru going to attack Naraku without harming the ‘wind bitch’ as Inuyasha put it? The Inu brothers needed to come up with a plan, quick, fast and in a hurry!!!

Naraku observed the protective stance Sesshoumaru had in front of Inuyasha. He remembers the time Inuyasha almost got himself killed when he tried to rescue his elder brother form Magatsuhi tentacles years ago. He also noticed the way the Inu hanyou voice his concern for Sesshoumaru’s safety. With that in mind he said:

“Kukuku so you two have developed an actual brotherly bond, lovable.”

Sesshoumaru did not move or speak to react to the spider’s unwanted comment. Inuyasha however growled with indignation. It sounded like the spider was suggestion he actually cared for Sesshoumaru…well, he did but that was no one else’s business!

Then much to the Inu brother’s dismay Naraku continued to talk:

“It good to see that you two see eye to eye, you two must have discovered how much you both have in common. Inuyasha lost his precious Kikyou twice and was helpless to protect her. Ironic that the same fate befall you and my traitorous incarnation Kagura. You lost her once and do nothing about it. Now you will lose her spirit before your very eyes…and what a joy it will be to watch the stoic Inu display sentiment for his lost love…Kukuku.” He said in a mocking tone, only to receive something worst then a furious glare from Sesshoumaru…a sadistic smirk.

Inuyasha was blood boiling mad about the spider’s spiteful comments. However before he could show and tell him just how he felt about his remarks, Inuyasha felt his brother smirk. Instead of blowing his top like the volcano’s in Naraku’s hell was earlier, he decided to see what his brother was going to do next. Then he said to know one in particular but loud enough for Sesshoumaru to hear:

“The only sentiment Sesshoumaru is going to have is a satisfied smirk on his face when he’s done fucking you up, stupid ass.”

Sesshoumaru disregarded his brother amusing comment and chose to address the creature in front of him. Then the daiyoukai spoke in a low deadly baritone that could be heard despite the harsh winds of the blizzard:

“Some of the dribble that came from you foul month is true, however there are some inadequacies in your statements.”

“Like what, please do tell.” Naraku said with pseudo interest. Sesshoumaru only continued to smirk evilly as he said:

“You were incapable of preventing your own death and being cast away by the miko…furthermore, you are helpless to stop the annihilation of your existence.”

Naraku gave him a doubtful look. There was no way in hell the Inu was thinking about attacking him while he held his precious Kagura hostage. Naraku knew the Inu could be a cold hearted, cruel, calculating bastard, but he also knew that all of the Inu efforts would be in vain if he destroyed his beloved along with his enemy. Since he saw Sesshoumaru as a logical being, it would be counterproductive to obliterate Kagura along with him. Voicing his thoughts he said in a cynical voice:

“You actually expect me to believe that you would sacrifice your soul mate in order to destroy I Naraku?”

Sesshoumaru gave him a predatory look as cracked the knuckles on his left hand loudly, causing them to glow bright green. Acid leaked from his claws onto the ground causing little hole to form in the ground beside him. Then he spoke in the same low deadly tone:

“This Sesshoumaru doesn’t give a damn what you believe, you will only exist long enough to regret not heeding my words.”

Guess Naraku hypothesis was incorrect huh…

Faster then the eye could see he wrapped his tail around Inuyasha and darted forward. Inuyasha yelped by being jerked around again without warning, managing not to heave this time.

Just as Inuyasha was snatched out of the way, another bolt of frost lighting hit the ground where the Inu hanyou was standing, causing it to freeze over.

‘Damn, I’m going to owe the stuck up asshole big time for the saves…wait, I don’t owe the bastard shit, he’s the one that demanded I come to this hell in the first place…’ Inuyasha thought with a frown as he was being dragged forward by the prehensile tail.

Sesshoumaru went after Naraku with full daiyoukai speed and attempted to behead the bastard while Kagura was still trapped in side him...at least that’s what he wanted Naraku to think. Naraku shocked that the daiyoukai would attack him and risk destroying Kagura sunk down into the snow covered ground and disappeared. Only to rise up out of the ground behind the daiyoukai who had landed in the very spot he previously occupied. Sesshoumaru was hoping something like this would happen. The cowardly bastard was not one who preferred close combat.

His younger brother still trailed behind him captured by his tail. Sesshoumaru, hoping that his younger brother had more intelligence then he gave him credit for said:

“Dragon Scale Inuyasha.” And it turns out Inuyasha was smarter then he thought. Sesshoumaru quickly flew forward again, unwrapped his tail from around Inuyasha waist and then flew to the side and landed. As soon as Sesshoumaru said the key words Inuyasha knew exactly what Sesshoumaru was planning. Hoping that it would work he place his sword horizontally to his right side while being soaring forward. With both hands on the hilt he shouted ‘DRAGON SCALE TESSAIGA!’ The sword morphed into its dragon scale form just as it reached Naraku’s neck. Instead of decapitating him like the Tensaiga would have, it stuck to the spider’s neck like a leash. Inuyasha continued to fly forward low to the ground from the force Sesshoumaru used earlier when he snatch him from the ground.

A look of astonishment and anger took over the spider hanyou face as he was pulled backwards away from his one ticket back to Earth Realm…away from Kagura. As she fall forward onto the snow covered ground Inuyasha’s momentum slowed and he finally managed to land on the cold ground and skidded to a halt. The only problem was Inuyasha was having a hard time keeping Naraku’s spirit imprisoned by the dragon scaled Tensaiga. This was due to his still weaken state from his earlier run in with the body snatching banshee.

“Release him Inuyasha.” Sesshoumaru ordered as he saw the spider bastard trying to worm his way into Inuyasha’s body for a temporary host. He just wanted to separate his soul mate from the foul creature and save her, not give Naraku another vessel to hide in. Sesshoumaru had waited long enough, he wanted to be the one to sink his blade and claws into the ghoul and end him!

‘The fucker like a leech, I can’t get him out of the sword and I can’t let go!” He said as he fought against the invading parasite. Inuyasha eyes started to glow red when Naraku became closer to merging with his form. Torn between checking on the well being of his soul mate and pulling his brother from Naraku’s grasp he chose the latter. Indeed the situation would become more complicated in Naraku managed to hide within Inuyasha. Which would essentially place Kagura in more peril. Not to mention more bothersome. Sesshoumaru did not want to waste any more time battling with his younger brother, Kagura needed him. Besides, he promised to pummel his brother after they returned to the land of the living, not before. And Sesshoumaru was an Inu of his word.

Rushing forward he quickly knocked the Tessaiga out of Inuyasha hands to the ground. The blade flew into the air and twisted like a windmill until it landed flat on the ground with a thump several feet away.

Determining that the Dragon Scale Tensaiga was doing him more harm then good Naraku quickly abandon the idea of using the blade against the Inu brothers. Instead he exited the sword and quickly summoned an almost clear color barrier around his body. Naraku begin to float in the air and scowled down at the Inu brothers.

One of the brothers was growling and shouting profanities at the ghoul above them while the other one stared at the ghoul with a cold expression that was accompanied by fiery flashing golden eyes. After several moments Naraku finally spoke cutting of the younger Inu rant short:

“Very clever for mongrels such as yourselves, but this battle isn’t over yet.” He said venomously.

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes while gazing at the annoying spec in the universe floating above him as he told Inuyasha:

“Guard Kagura.”

“How.” He said sounding a bit winded from his earlier struggle with the spider combine with his shouted curses.

“The Meidou.” Sesshoumaru said simply as he flew up into the skies that roared with thunder and cracked with lighting to meet his adversary. Smirking as he simply thought:

“My cornered prey awaits…’

Meanwhile Inuyasha darted towards his blade intending on using it to its fullest capacity to protect the ‘wind bitch’.

He thought he was getting way to good at reading his elder brothers small verbal commands and the little body language he displayed. Inuyasha did not like following orders, he only did it when more then his pride was a stake. Inuyasha had to admit he admired his brother’s intelligence as he thought:

‘Crafty bastard, he wants me to send Naraku to the Master of Hell domain if he gets past him, to keep him away from Kagura. I bet his crazy ass would drag me to the real hell to hunt Naraku down and finish him off. Although I won’t complain if that happens, I want to see that slimy bastard get pulverized…’

Another frost lighting bolt headed toward Inuyasha as he made a break for his sword, Sesshoumaru defected it by pointing his blade downward and swinging it diagonally across when he intercepted the electricity. Inuyasha dived and rolled over his head, back and on to his feet, picking up his blade in the process. Quickly Inuyasha darted back to Kagura and with an unusual kind gesture he took of his red outer robe and placed it over her weaken unconscious body. He didn’t know if his fire rat robe would keep her warm especially since she was a spirit, but at least she could receive some privacy. After he covered her with the robe, he took a protective stance in front of her.

Just as he looked up at the two individuals in the sky through blizzard he saw his brother make his move. He hoped Sesshoumaru could some how make Naraku suffer with the blade.

Sesshoumaru was planning on doing just that as he soared forward toward the spider hiding behind his shield. He would break through the shield and show Naraku that he, Sesshoumaru was colder then any blizzard the spider could ever create…
