Sesshomaru's Story

Silver woke early the next morning. He blinked at the sunlight and remembered his love. He turned his head away and stood. He walked from the bedroom outside and perched in a tree. He looked at the blue sky and wondered what it meant to be free.

Kagome woke and walked outside and into the hot spring. She saw silver and smiled thinking that he was becoming more comfortable. She sighed in the hot water and relaxed. She closed her eyes and soaked. She knew she would get out soon.

Sesshomaru woke and walked from the bedroom. He went into the kitchen and ate. He then left the house and ran into town at top speed. He smiled as he walked along. He looked in at shops and then saw a slaver headed for him. He dashed into the woods and hid. He wondered what would happen. He didn’t want to kill the human.

The slaver followed Sesshomaru and tossed a rope around his neck and twisted it. The rope tightened cutting off Sesshomaru’s breath.

Sesshomaru gasped and dropped. He whimpered as a collar was placed around his neck. He wondered what he had done. He was free now. Then he realized that here he was not really free. He could always be captured again. He had started to love Kagome. As a last effort Sesshomaru howled for help mainly Silver.

Silver heard the howl and raced toward Sesshomaru. He watched as the slaver placed his brother inside a cage. Silver growled and walked forward and reached inside the cage and broke the collar. Then he melted the bars and spoke.

“This time return home. Go Sesshomaru.”

Silver then dropped like had before. The pain overrode his senses. He knew nothing else.

Sesshomaru picked up Silver and ran. He dropped Silver off in the bedroom back at Kagome’s home. Sesshomaru sniffed out Kagome now In the library. He walked inside and looked at her.

“I have to return home. Take care of my brother.”

“Goodbye Sesshomaru. I hope you remain safe and sound. I promise to take care of Silver.”

Sesshomaru turned and walked from the room and left the house. Then he dashed into the woods and started to run. He called on his power and shifted forms. He ran with all his speed and strength he knew he must return home even though his heart ached for leaving Kagome. He was unsure why. He also didn’t want to leave Silver behind but knew that a slave without their master was a dangerous thing. It was safer for silver to remain with Kagome.

Kagome sighed and looked at the book she had been reading. She smiled down and wondered what she should do. She knew that Silver was hers and would most likely remain hers. She sat the book to the side and walked into the bedroom of Silvers. She saw him curled up in a corner. Kagome blinked and walked over and stroked his hair. She smiled and spoke soothingly to him. She hugged him once he had stopped trembling. She knew that he was in pain.

“Silver. Sesshomaru is gone. You must remain here and safe. I promise to not harm you.”

“Yes Mistress. I apologize Mistress.”

Silver the cringed as the collar punished him again for speaking. He knew that he needed to make himself clear and he hoped that she wouldn’t add to his pain. He backed away and looked her in the eyes. He whimpered and lowered his head and waited for the word.

Kagome shook her head and walked out the door and down into the kitchen. She fixed a dish of food and brought it back up to him. She smiled and placed it in front of him and said “eat up.”

Silver whimpered and lowered his head to the food and started to eat. He polished off the bowl quickly and looked back up at her and lowered his head wondering what he should do. He knew that the pain would begin again if he spoke.

Kagome turned and took the dish back into the kitchen. She finished and headed into the study. She sat down and started to work. She saw a request for her to meet in three days at the miko gathering. She stood and walked into the bedroom and led Silver outside and into the stable. She tied him to her horses saddle pack by a leash then mounted and started to trot away.

Silver whined and followed he had no other choice. He lowered his head as he jogged to keep pace. He wondered where they were going. He was full and just desired sleep.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru ran until he reached the castle walls. He had deviated around towns and villages. He shifted into human form and entered the castle. He walked forward and headed into the main hall and saw Arrow and Inuyasha. Sesshomaru spoke up.

“My family. I am home now. It is good to see you both again.”

Arrow and Inuyasha ran toward him and hugged. Together they laughed and Arrow happily. Arrow released Sesshomaru looked into his eyes.

“Who freed you cousin?”

“Silver. He is alive. I know it is different. But he is alive. He set me free. Now I can return to being the Lord of The West.”

“Yes. You will. You are the true ruler. It is better this way.”

Arrow then walked with Sesshomaru into the dinning hall. They sat down and started to eat.

Sesshomaru finished and yawned he was tired from his run. He said goodnight and looked sadly at his family and headed into his old bedroom and lay down and went to sleep.

Arrow and Inuyasha finished their food then turned to each other.

“This is great. Sesshomaru is free. Now we can win and enslave the humans and free Silver.”

“Yeah. They are cruel monsters. But do you think Sesshomaru will go along with this?”

“He should. They harmed him as well.”

Arrow headed into the study and started to work on papers. He was bored and knew that he had to manage the west lands until Sesshomaru was ready to go back to leading.

Inuyasha walked into his bedroom and went to sleep it was turning into night.

Meanwhile Kagome led Silver on into a meadow in the woods. She sighed and dismounted the horse and unchained Silver and started a fire. She looked in her saddle bag for food and found none. She sighed and looked at silver pleadingly.

Silver nodded and sniffed and raced and caught two rabbits he brought them back to her and lowered his head and kneeled. He wondered if that would be enough to please her. He feared her anger.

Kagome smiled and sat the rabbits over the fire and started to cook them. She continued until they were done and she handed him his then ate hers. After that she tied the horse to a tree and lay down under the tree and drifted off to sleep.

Silver whimpered and jumped into a branch and closed his eyes and went to sleep dreaming of being free.
