CH. 15 - Sesshomaru's Rage and Rin's Words

Inuyasha tried his best to keep up with his brother as he carried Kagome on his back. He knew that feeling that drove Sesshomaru to push himself to the limit and beyond. The hanyou felt that everytime the miko managed to get herself kidnapped or injured. 'I hope we make it in time. I think Sesshomaru would lose it if something happened to Johanna.'

The dog eared demon glanced behind him to make sure Sango and Miroku were still following. Looking back to the front, he noticed they had fallen behind which caused Inuyasha to swear under his breath. His grip on his mate-to-be tightened which caused Kagome to gasp and tighten hers as well. A few moments went by before a mighty roar shook the forest. The group as a whole could only think of one word, 'Shit'.

Sesshomaru moved as fast as he could to reach Naraku's castle. He knew he was close because he could smell the miasma associated with the bastard. The demon lord had to stop himself from slamming into a barrier that sizzled from the deadly miasma. He couldn't see through it, but he knew that the castle had to be on the other side. "Inuyasha you will use Father's sword to destroy this barrier as you have done before."

When he didn't receive an answer, Sesshomaru looked behind him to notice he was alone. The Inu-Youkai cursed himself for not paying attention. He studied the barrier for a few moments before deciding to use Tokijin to try to break through. The silver haired being pulled the powerful weapon from its sheath a second before bringing it down on the thing that was holding him back from his mate. "I'm coming Johanna."

As the shield shattered, Sesshomaru's heart seemed to stop as he realized he was too late for Naraku had already moved his castle. All that was there was a large hoard of lesser demons and poisonous insects. After his heart started beating again, his eyes immediately turned red and the heart-broken lord let out a mighty roar that told all that understood what had transpired that day. So full of rage, Sesshomaru let loose his poisonous whip and began decemating the gathered demons.

That was the scene that the rest of the group came upon. For a second all anyone could do was stare with their mouths open before another roar sent them into action. Inuyasha deposited Kagome unto her feet as he pulled out Tetsaiga as he jumped into battle. Sango swung her giant boomerang taking out a good amount of demons while Miroku used his staff and sutras. Shippo used his fox fire to take out some of the insects that were flying around. The guards helped take care of the last of thd enemies. During all the fighting everyone made sure to stay clear of one pissed off demon lord.

As the last demon fell from being sliced in half from a poisonous whip, the group gathered a safe distance away from Sesshomaru. Everyone seemed to be having a silent conversation with each other about who was going to go and try to talk to the Inu-Youkai. Just as a unanimous decision was made to send Inuyasha, the lord of the western lands straightened up and turned towards the castle.

"We will return home to plan our attack on Naraku and rescue of my intended." With that said a cloud appeared under his feet speeding him away to the palace. The others could do nothing but look at each other before shrugging their shoulders. They quickly took off to try and catch up.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'I can't believe this Sesshomaru would be so distracted to forget about my faster modes of travel. I could have gotten there before he disappeared and saved Johanna. Now I have to explain to my daughter why I don't have her new mother with me and somehow find a moving castle.'

By the time Sesshomaru was done with his inner dialogue he had reached the palace gates. He looked to see Rin standing in the main entrance with Jaken and a few servants. The lord of the castle knew that he was going to have a very sad little girl on his hands for his ward had gotten attached to his intended. Sesshomaru took a deep breath as he made his way to the main entrance.

Rin ran out to meet him and even though no one else could tell the difference in his face, she could. His ward knew by the way his skin crinkled around his eyes that he was pissed. Rin had a feeling he wasn't able to save Johanna so she did the one thing she wasn't allowed to do in public. She raised her arms signalling for him to pick her up. She hadn't actually expected him to do it and squeaked in surprise when he did. Sesshomaru picked Rin up and held her to him with a arm under her behind. The little girl just leaned forward to wrap her arms around his neck. "Don't worry daddy. You will find momma soon and we will be a family," she whispered for his ears only.

Sesshomaru could not believe what he had just heard and it made his heart swell with pride at how his little girl believed in him. "I will do my best to bring her back to us, my daughter." The lord wrapped his other arm around her and carried her into the castle, headed for his study.

The rest of the rescue party showed up just as Rin hugged her father. No one knew what was said, but they could see that something big had transpired between the two. They continued to watch the pair as they headed into the palace.

"I don't think we have to worry about him going on some sort of rampage tonight," Inuyasha said before he crossed the grounds leading everyone to the location of his half-brother. Being the first to arrive at the study, the half-demon slid open the door to find Rin asleep in Sesshomaru's lap as said demon gently ran his fingers through her hair. Everyone quietly moved into the room to settle down and patiently wait for Sesshomaru to speak.

It was two hours later when they seen Sesshomaru shift to lay Rin down on a few pillows that were next to him. He never took his eyes off of her as he began to speak. "We have much to do in so little time. Inuyasha you will lead the search for Naraku's castle since your group has a knack for finding him. The demon exterminator and monk will train my men to fight against Naraku's minions. Be sure to make everyone aware of all weapons, weaknesses, and possible traps. Shinzo let it be known to all of the guards that they are to do what they are told or they shall answer to me." During a brief pause, the demon lord turned back to his desk and began working on some papers. "Miko, you will train with my healer and the priestess from the village right outside of the gates. She will be brought in tomorrow. The child fox demon shall be trained with the other children for part of the day and the palace guards for the rest. Everyone has a part to play and when the time comes I want you all to be prepared. This Sesshomaru has much to plan. You are all dismissed." Everyone bowed and left Sesshomaru in peace. Everyone, but Inuyasha that is.

The hanyou moved closer to his half-brother's desk and patiently waited to be acknowledged. He didn't have to wait too long for Sesshomaru paused in his writing to look at him. "What can I do for you Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha took a deep breath before speaking. "Are you okay brother?"

"Why are you asking this of me?"

"Because the Sesshomaru I know would have been having a fit and throwing a temper tantrum since he didn't get his way. I expected to find half the palace in shambles, but instead I watch you walk clamly inside with Rin in your arms. Can you tell me what's up?"

Sesshomaru continued to stare at his brother across from him until he suddenly stood with Rin in his arms and made his way out of his study. Inuyasha followed him, wondering where he was going. The hanyou finally realized where they were headed when they reached the family wing of the palace. He followed his brother into Rin's room and watched as he tucked her into bed. Inuyasha quietly waited at the door while the lord sat at the side of the bed staring down at his daughter.

Twenty minutes passed before Sesshomaru finally spoke. "How can someone so small make such a big difference? This Sesshomaru was about to cause destruction, but this little being did and told me something that made my anger dissapate. She told me everything would be okay, then called me daddy and I will find her momma so we can be a family. This Sesshomaru will move heaven and earth to give her what she desires."

Inuyasha sighed softly as he moved across the room to settle his hand on his brother's shoulder. "Don't worry big brother we will get your intended back. I can promise you that. So quit your moping before I kick your ass."

Sesshomaru chuckled as he stood to leave. "Thank you Inuyasha I needed that. Now let us retire to bed for we will ned our rest."

Both brothers nodded to each other before seperating and heading to their own rooms with much weighing on their minds.

I know it was kind of short, but please bare with me. I am trying my best to make this story better and I promise the next chapter will be longer. Please let me know what you think.
