Chapter 2: Surprise, Surprise

Dream Starts

Sesshoumaru woke up from his little nap to find that he wasn’t in the same place he fell asleep in. Nor was he in the state of undress he was in when he fell asleep. He was fully clothed with his Bakusaiga and Tensaiga in his obi. It was dark but as he looked around with his enhance sight, he could see he was in his Fathers resting place. This surprised him because he hadn’t dreamed about this place in years. He knew it was a dream because the only entrance to the neither he knew of was at the mountain of fire which is located on the other side of Japan. He knew he didn’t fly there nor was he taken. Plus his instincts told him that he wasn’t there in his physical form. What was even more surprising was the fact that he could smell the environment. Usually in any dream human or youkai, they can’t smell anything but in this particular dream he can.

‘Perhaps a part of my mind, my senses has traveled to this place but why?’ He thought as he looked around with a slightly puzzled look on his face that was barely noticeable. He knew he only been her on three different occasions. One was to retrieve the Tessaiga for the first time. The second time was to destroy Naraku. The third and final time was to find Kagura soul. This was directly after Naraku defeat. Since he hadn’t dreamed about her in a while, he was hoping to see her at least one more time before her soul moved on. Some souls move on earlier then others. Some stick around for a little while denying the fact that they lost their lives. Others move on looking forward to their new life. Once he entered the world though, Tensaiga informed him that she was no longer in any of the regions. She was one of the souls that moved on early. He knew that she wasn’t in hell because she would have told him so first of all. Secondly as far as he knew she was a full elemental youkai. Even though she was made from Naraku’s flesh, she was made from the full youkai part not the human one. Youkai did not go to hell only humans did. Finally, both he and his sword would have sensed the aura of hell around her. So he came to the conclusion that she must have moved on to be reincarnated. A process that can take centuries. So he decided to simply wait patiently for her return.

His Tensaiga started to glow as his instincts and heart told him something is wrong.

‘All is not well with Kagura, something is amiss.’ He thought as he looked up to the huge corpse catching an unusual scent

“Chichi.” He mumbled. He recognized his scent of forest pine with a hint of lilies. He also recognized the scent of a powerful sprit intermingled with his father scent when he was alive.

Sesshoumaru thought as he flew toward his father’s corpse. ‘His soul should have passed on ages ago. Only his corpse should have remained. Could it be that his soul has been here for over 200 year? If that is the case why could I not sense it before?’

He came to the opening in his fathers’ chest. As he entered his fathers body, he saw the alter Tessaiga once occupied glowing a bright blue and white color. The light surrounded a tall figure wearing spiked armor across his board shoulders. A large piece of fur hung from his shoulders like a cape. It appeared to be a part of his body. He had long silver hair with blue streaks pulled into a topknot (ponytail). He had a regal air about him; one would know he was royalty just by looking at him.

As Sesshoumaru looked up at the alter his father stood on he said:
“Chichi, it is you.” Sesshoumaru said in a low tone that had a hint of surprised in it. The slight widing of his eyes also showed how much it shocked him to see his fathers’ sprit.

The light died down as his father chuckled in a friendly matter. He rarely saw his son express any emotion when he was alive, so this was a rare treat.

“Yes my son it is I. Your wondering why my sprit is lingering about in the neither world instead of moving on to be reincarnated.” His father stated with a matter of fact tone. Some times Sesshoumaru thought his father was a Seer the way he read his thoughts.

Sesshoumaru looked at him intently paying close attention to every detail of his father words. His father glided down of f the alter and walked within an arms length of his eldest son. The bones under his feet didn’t make a sound as he made his way over to Sesshoumaru. Then he said:

“The Tensaiga and the Tessaiga keeps me in contact with the outside world. Tensaiga has a will of its own and both your and Inuyasha blades are connected. Although I wasn’t allowed to physically interfere with my sons after my death, I made it so I could watch both of your progress.”

“So, another reason you had the swords forged was to observe us.” Sesshoumaru said. He already figured out many of the other reasons his father had those sword made. Although with his stubborn ways it took longer then it should have.

“Yes I wanted my sons to treat each other as brothers not enemies. You as the eldest were to teach and guide Inuyasha. Inuyasha in turn was suppose to listen and teach you, which you both have done. I know you thought I just wanted to use you to help Inuyasha grow stronger. As you figured out that was not the case. I would never shun any of my pups.” He said then he smile as he said:

“Both of my sons have surpass me and both of you have become allies. Inuyasha learned to accept himself for who he is, to trust others when he thought he could not and to put others ahead of his own desires. You learned that you are not a monster as you proclaimed yourself to be. You have learned compassion is a strength. Sorrow that helps you empathize with others and responsibility to protect those weaker than yourself. You both learned what it means to love and protect someone. You are now a true daiyoukai and lord of the Western Lands. I am very proud of both of you.”

Sesshoumaru had an unreadable expression on his face. He was barely able to keep himself from smiling a genuine smile as he said: “Of course I became a true daiyoukai, did you except anything less from this Sesshoumaru?” He said in a self assured tone, trying to hide how humble he became around his father and how grateful to hear those words from the legendary daiyoukai.

His father knew his son like the back of his hand. Knowing he was hiding his emotions he smiled and said:

“Of course ‘this Inu Tashio’ did not, why else would I have giving you the Tensaiga…I saw your true potential as a true youkai king.” He said mimicking Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru had to repress the urge to roll his eyes as he smirked. The smirk left his face almost immediately as he asked in his blunt fashion:

“Why have you summoned me hear Father?” His father face took on a serious expression as he said.

“You are lacking the one thing your brother has.”

“And that is…” Sesshoumaru said frowning a bit, he did not feel like being compared to the hanyou.

“Your soul mate at your side.”

“She’s dead, at first I presumed that she moved on to be reincarnated, are you going to tell me that my impression was incorrect.”

‘The pup has good instincts as always.’ He thought as he said:

“No she did move on, but she was intercepted by her creator.” He said with a frown. He knew about Naraku and the battle that took place on his corpse. He did not like him at all.”

“What did Naraku do this time?” He said with anger in his voice, would they ever be rid of the spider bastard.

“He intercepted her on her way to reincarnation, he is holding her captive. Not in hell itself but one of its counter parts.”

“Chichi you knew of Kagura when she was alive is that why you watched her after her death?” He asked as if he knew the answer already.

“Yes, however I was unable to stop this Naraku insect do to the fact that Kagura was born from him, but you as her soul mate can aide her.”

“How long ago did he seize her?” He said baring his teeth.

“The third anniversary of her death.” He said with anger and frustration. His anger flared a bit, knowing that he could do nothing to the spider that causes his children all of these problems.

“You said he took her to a counter part of hell. Hence, this part of hell must be within the abyss I visited when I was perfecting the Meidou technique.”

His father had a bit of guilt in his eyes, knowing all the hell he literally put his eldest through, but it was the only way if he was going to get his act together.

Sesshoumaru looked at all the variety of expressions that kept popping up on his father face as he mused:
‘Indeed, my little brother has more of his ways then this Sesshoumaru will ever have.’ Thinking about how expressive Inuyasha is. Of course he ignored the bad temper, stubborn streak or affinity for humans all three of them seem to have in common.

Thought in Sesshoumaru’s case there are only a few humans he know and cares for. He had the tendency to act aloof toward anyone he didn’t know. He also acted indifferently towards people he did know unless a situation arises that causes him to show his true feelings like someone’s death for instance.

“Yes my son he has become a part of hell himself, he took her sprit within himself before turning into an Abyss portal and disappeared. The only place she could be is in hell with him.” He said frowning again.

Sesshoumaru eyes flashed red for a second before regaining his composure so he could think things through. That temper of his coming into play again.

“From what I was told, Naraku was a human who turned himself into a Hanyou. He would be able to enter hell along with the rest of the humans. He became one with that Shikon Jewel trinket. When it was destroyed he met his demise as well. So somehow he found a way to become a world of his own, he became a hell himself.”

“I don’t know exactly how he did it my son, but I know he must be stopped. He is using your soul mate for something sinister and the only one that can stop him is you. However to get to them you will need your brothers help, you will need his Tessaiga. If you do not that vile creature may come back to the world of the living.”

Looking down at his Tensaiga which was glowing the whole time Sesshoumaru said.

“Perhaps there is a way to bring you back to the world of the living.”


He put his hand on his shoulder and said.

“No my time among the living has passed, beside the Tensaiga cannot be used on the being from which it was forged from.”

Sesshoumaru looked at his father whom was the same height, but was always wider then him. After looking at him for a while he said.

“So be it.” In his usual monotone voice.

His father chuckled again knowing his son was hiding his emotions. Then he said:

“I don’t have a lot of time left so tell your brother what I have told you and take care of each other.”

“Will you visit him?” He asked wondering if his father would contact Inuyasha.

“I can only watch over him through Tessaiga since it is the blade of the earth. Yours is the blade of heaven, connected to the sprit world therefore, he will only be able to see me when you are with him. However I will always watch over you.” He said, then he did something Sesshoumaru hated, he gave him a bear hug picking him up of the ground. Now Sesshoumaru discovered that he could feel his air being squeezed out of him in a dream.

Frowning Sesshoumaru remember how he could never break away from his father death grip.

‘Well not until now…’ He thought with a wicked smirk.

Using his daiyoukai strength with a lot more effort then he is use to using, he managed to break free from the hug. He landed gracefully on his feet and said:

“I am no longer a pup so stop this sentimental drivel; I have a mate to retrieve.”

‘Just like his mother…’ Inu Tashio mused.

Use to his son curt matter of speech, he ignored his comment giving him another quick hug before he said:

“So do I, Izayoi is waiting for me.” Surprising to his father Sesshoumaru didn’t show disgust at the mentioning of her name, he only bowed and said:

“We will meet again….”

“It better not be because of your death, I except, both my sons to live long and prosper.” He smiled again. The bright light surrounds him again and with a flash of light he was gone.

End of Dream.

Sesshoumaru woke up immediately. He could have sworn that he still felt the warmth of his fathers’ hug. He brushed it off telling himself that it was just the hot spring heat on his skin. He dreaded the thought of having to go back to the one place where he felt like he failed his Rin, his human pup. The place where she died a second time. But he was Sesshoumaru he would do what had to be done without hesitation.

‘I will find away to gain Inuyasha’s assistance’ He mused as he jumped out of the water.

He dressed quickly and in the middle of the night he rushed to his castle, snatched Jaken off of his futon, threw him on Ah-Un and strapped him in so he wouldn’t fall off. He already knocked Jaken out before their departure. He didn’t feel like hearing the toad’s complaints. He was coming with him whether he wanted to or not. His only focus was get to Inuyashas' home as fast as he could and do the one thing he hated; ask…no Sesshoumaru will demand his help. He may have changed but he still was stubborn as hell. He would use force on the pup if necessary.

TBC.

A/N: I know it seems kind of weird but one of the meanings of Naraku name is ‘hell’ so I thought it would be neat to turn him into his name. A hell dimension inside of hell. One of the many layers of hell that some people believe in. I don’t know if this is in the magna or not but in one episode, Inuyasha stated that youkai didn’t go to hell, only humans did. When I read the arc when Rin dies in hell, the only youkai I saw was Sesshoumaru. Also I said Kagura is a full youkai because of her pointy ears. Please let me know what you think.
