Chapter 5

Carol of the Bells

Hark! How the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"Throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold

Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air

Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To every home

Ding, dong, ding, dong.

Sesshoumaru finally finished the mountain of paperwork he had being going through at a fairly steady rate. All of his messengers were busy flying from place to place to get the documents to the right people so that he didn’t have to make an appearance. The last thing Sesshoumaru wanted was to have to go somewhere to actually greet his subjects and the neighboring kingdoms that annoyed him to death about him mating one of their god awful children.

Even though demons rarely feel cold or heat, it indeed was a chilly night as he closed the windows with the wooden panels and locked them tight to keep the cold out as he ordered the bathes to be heated so he could take a long hot soak before going to bed.

Sesshoumaru rarely noticed how lonely his life was since most humans and some demons would go insane having so much free time on their hands with no one to share it with. Sesshoumaru only missed one thing in his life and that was Rin. He missed her songs and her silly smile.

By now Rin was a young woman and would be eligible for suitors. Sesshoumaru had hoped this day would not come, but soon it was time for him to make a decision. He could leave Rin to become a priestess of the human village or set her up with a good rich Lord that would care for her.

The only other viable option was that Kohaku boy, but Sesshoumaru didn’t want to think either child had grown up enough for them to mate in some human way. That would mean he was getting older and Sesshoumaru didn’t want to think of that at all. In fact he didn’t want to think of anything anymore tonight other than what he planned to do with his little brother.

Inuyasha would indeed be an annoyance to him since the pup was loud mouthed and uncouth. To even consider Inuyasha as part of his family was like feeling a bee sting, annoying and rather painful to have to deal with.

As Sesshoumaru reached the bathing chambers he allowed the servants to undress him as he slipped into the nice hot water.

Sitting down against the rock carved for that purpose alone Sesshoumaru stretched his long legs out and let the water warm up his entire being as the steam came and flowed across his flesh like a caress.

Soon there were clawed fingers of women washing his body and hair. Massaging every sore muscle and distressing his mind from all his troubles.

Allowing these females to wash his person was a rare privilege only given to his most trusted servants since any others would be slain for ever laying a finger on him.

When one female inquired if he wished to have his sexual tension relieved Sesshoumaru quickly declined. He dismissed them all as soon as his hair was washed and expected them back in an hour’s time to dry him and comb his long hair before he rested.

The thought of his half brother living here in the castle bothered Sesshoumaru even after he declared it. Why did he want his brother here again? Oh yes, to train him, but he could do that without bringing Inuyasha to his fortress.

The nagging part of Sesshoumaru’s mind was telling him that he was indeed lonely for company of someone who would not necessarily die before him unless of course he willed it to be so. Thing was if he brought Inuyasha here he would also have to bring everyone else since most likely they would all wish to remain together.

Perhaps he could take back his words………that would mean though that he was wrong and Sesshoumaru being as prideful as he was refused to look foolish. He would indeed take his brother in and the rest of their lot if he had to. Anything to keep his little brother from destroying his castle was a good thing. Besides he could use these humans for different things. Exactly what things he was not sure of, but he could deal with that later.

Sesshoumaru then took a bottle of oil out that had the scent of light pine. For some reason Sesshoumaru enjoyed this scent although most of the wood scents made him feel as though he was a part of the forests he roamed in.

Tomorrow he would go to the village and bring something warm for Rin like one of the many white fur blankets that were just weaved parts of his dog hair when he was shedding. Most of the blankets in his fortress were made of this same fur except from other Inus like himself. His personal blanket was of both his Dam and his Sires thick warm fur. It was the softest of all the furs weaved in this pattern and made him feel secure.

Sesshoumaru looked down at his clawed toes and decided that after the bath was done he would have his claws trimmed on his feet along with a nice foot massage since he felt the desire to go about bare footed to bed. In fact he wore very little as it was to bed. Usually just the bright white fundoshi he was having cleaned today.

Leaning against the large rock Sesshoumaru allowed his eyes to close for a while and thought of how good it would feel to run in his full demon form in the snow and play in it like he did when his Father was alive. At one point winter had been his favorite time of the year since his parents would go out with him in their truest forms and frolic amongst themselves in the waist deep snow allowing the powdery stuff to float all over them.

Sesshoumaru did not hear the soft wine he made just thinking about his Father. He missed his Father terribly and it still hurt after all these years that he was gone. It was only the second time in his life when he cried. The second time was when he found out Rin was truly dead in the world of the dead that his Mother had forced him into to test his sword.

Before the souls begged for him to save them all, Sesshoumaru had held Rin in his arms allowing a single tear to form that no one could see since he wiped it on her pretty orange and white kimono as he nuzzled his tiny child as a Father might to beg her to awaken.

Sesshoumaru opened his eyes deciding that perhaps resting wasn’t such a fine idea. It only brought up painful memories.

Since he was pretty much stuck in the bath until the servants returned, Sesshoumaru decided to swim around the large pool of water a bit. Was it always this quiet? Sesshoumaru wondered to himself.

Most of the time Sesshoumaru enjoyed the quiet, but today it seemed unnecessary. So he eventually slipped out of the water and pulled the cord which would ring a bell for the bathing servants to return.

All of them rushed in quickly drying their Lord off and wrapping him in a long silk robe after putting on his clean silky white fundoshi and some silky white pajama bottoms.

Sesshoumaru allowed them to comb both his hair and his mokomoko catching all of the loose hair from both and placing it in a basket for the weavers.

“Sire do you wish for your hair to be down or braided?”

Sesshoumaru agreed to have his hair braided tonight so that it didn’t tangle in the morning. Then he would have it combed straight and let it flow about him as usual.

As the servants finished Sesshoumaru simply walked out of the room with the guards opening the door for him so that he could go to his room and rest.

Once Sesshoumaru got to his room he took off the robe and silk pants leaving them in a pool on the floor and climbed into his overly large bed hoping that sleep would come, but not assuming anything since full demons rarely slept.

Throughout the whole night Sesshoumaru couldn’t get the images of his parents playing in the snow with him out of his mind and then suddenly there was Inuyasha running through the snow like a lost pup hoping someone would come and play with him as he watched the lonely pup whimper and finally walk away as a grown man never looking back at his brother again.
