The Demon Child Amaya

Chapter 8

Sesshomaru looks down at the little girl in his arms, ‘there is something strange about her, it is like I should know her yet I do not; not to mention her power is the one I sensed, but if it is that powerful why was she over come by this weak demon?’ Sesshomaru can’t help but think to himself. Sesshomaru turns around to see Inuyasha and the others looking at him, he walks over and as he passes Inuyasha he says, “kill the demon,” and then walks over to the lake.

Inuyasha stares as Sesshomaru sits down with Aya in his arms in front of the lake like the demon wasn’t even there and begins to wash Aya’s blood off. He didn’t need to be told twice he unleashed Tetseiga and used the wind scar to kill the demon and then told Kagome to get the jewel shard while he went to see how Aya was doing. “Is she going to be okay?” Inuyasha asks as he sits down next to them.

“She has a broken rib and claw marks down her back and left arm but she should be fine, my question is that why were you just standing there and was it truly her power that I sensed earlier,” Sesshomaru says.

“Aya was able to beat me in a battle and so I figured she would be okay against this demon, but she was using a lot of power for training and I didn’t take in account that her energy would be drained, it was her power she is very strong for a child,” Inuyasha says. “Why are you here anyways, not that I am not thankful you saved Aya,” Inuyasha asks.

“I sensed a great power and I thought I would see who it belongs too and I just happened to have arrived in time to save her,” Sesshomaru says, “not that I need to explain myself to a half-breed like you.”

“Hump!” Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest, “Stupid bastard,” Inuyasha growls.

“So who is she?” Sesshomaru asks.

“She is from the future, she is actually here looking for you,” Inuyasha says.

Sesshomaru’s interest peeked, “Looking for me? Why?”

“You will have to ask her when she wakes up,” Inuyasha says. “Her future world is in danger and your future self sent her back here, she has the power to travel through time, but it takes a lot of energy so she doesn’t do it, and also she has a concealing spell on so her power is being constantly drained from that,” Inuyasha explains.
“I see,” Sesshomaru says. “Do you know who she is?”

“No she won’t tell us, she gave us a fake name of Aya. She has only been here not even a week and she has done more for me then anything. She freed me from my curse that Kagome placed on me and I have become a father,” Inuyasha says.

“Really?” Sesshomaru looks at Inuyasha.

“Well he is my adapted son, Shippo. She has shown me a lot, how to control my demon side and has taught me a lot, she will not tell us anything about our future only that we are happy, until and evil named Kenchi shows up.”

“Who?”

“Well according to Aya in 6 years an evil shows up that is worse then Naraku, he kills everyone except you, me, Kouga and a few guards and wolves and herself along with her parents. His name is Kenchi he was created by a witch; he is pure evil a being made from the darkness and hatred of all human, half-demons and demons dead or alive,” Inuyasha explains. Suddenly Aya’s words came rushing into his head ‘why do you think Lord Sesshomaru would learn to respect you when you are proving to him that all half-demons truly are uncouth and don’t know how to adapt to either society? Maybe if you tried being respectful, he will learn to respect you back.’ Inuyasha turns to Sesshomaru, “Brother I wish to apologies.”

Sesshomaru raises and eyebrow not believing what he was hearing, “Explain.”

“You are my elder brother and for no reason other then you attacking me and trying to take my sword and kill me I have disrespected you. I will not allow you to have either my life or my sword but you are still my brother, I do not hate you and I only want you to accept me, but I should still respect you because not only are you my elder brother you are the lord of the western lands. I know you hate me because our father slept with my mother but I still look up to you. You have been forced into a position as lord when our father died and because you were so young you had to deal with the council trying to over mind you. I still wish you would have taken me in but I understand that because of father’s death you had a lot to deal with and you are probably still angry at father, but I want you to know that I understand now and I think you are doing a great job at running the western lands. Aya and I spoke she opened my eyes about demon society, I have been acting like I am human but I’m not and you are so I should act more like a demon then a human. She has taught me a lot and well I just want to say sorry that I have insulted you and disrespected you, I know you may never forgive me or even care because I am just a half-demon but I want you to know that my words are true.”

Sesshomaru couldn’t believe what he was hearing; Inuyasha was being civil and was apologizing for his actions. Sighing Sesshomaru looks down at Aya and then to Inuyasha, “I… thank you Inuyasha. It is true that I have been acting childish towards you, I have blamed you for what father did and I shouldn’t have, but with the death of my mother and then him taking your mother and father dying protecting you and your mother I was angry. I thank you that you understand but as your elder and your lord I should recognize that I too was in the wrong for taking my anger out on you. I do not really hate you I haven’t for a while but my pride would not let me open up to you so I did the only thing I could do, I attacked you and made you angry, I never planned to kill you or take fathers sword. I was training you in my own way, but for some reason I now feel that I can put my pride aside and inform you of my decision. You are my younger brother whether I like it or not and I want to make the most of it, though I will always be myself, I will try to be more of a brother to you.”

Inuyasha smiles, “Ever since Aya has arrived my life has been so much better, I gained my freedom and a son and now I have a brother, there is nothing more I could ask for.”

Sesshomaru couldn’t believe what he was saying, ‘I basically just told Inuyasha that we are a family and I have no idea why, I juts have this feeling that it was the right thing to do.’ Sesshomaru looks down when a groan reaches his ears.

Amaya looks up to see Sesshomaru moving his hand away from her face, she looks over to see Inuyasha almost smiling. Amaya smiles knowingly after catching a bit of their conversation, “Finally,” Aya says. “You two have finally come to terms with each other and will finally find the happiness you both deserve, I am happy that you both have now taken the first step, you both deserve to be happy,” Aya says before succumbing to the darkness once again.

Sesshomaru looks down at the child he is holding, ‘Was she the one that made me say those things? No a mere child could not force this Sesshomaru to say or do anything against what this Sesshomaru wants to do. Could it be that this child has brought out what this Sesshomaru has been wanting to do all along?’

“Brother are you alright?” Inuyasha asks.

“I am fine Inuyasha, do not concern yourself with me,” Sesshomaru says.

“We should get Aya’s wounds bandaged, if you want to join us, I would like to have you stay so we can talk more,” Inuyasha says.

Sesshomaru just stares at Aya, ‘I wish to know more about this child and her power. I also wish to know what this new feeling is that I am.’ “I will stay with you until I can figure out what is going on, I wish to know why this child wants with me,” Sesshomaru says. He stands up with Inuyasha after cleaning Aya’s wounds and heads to where the others should are, ‘this child is very mysterious, and what do I have that she would want? This Sesshomaru must know.’ Sesshomaru carries Aya to where Inuyasha’s group have made camp and using Kagome’s bandages that he had to threaten to get he wraps her arm and back. Looking down he removes a piece of hair from her face and runs his hand down her cheek, ‘why do I feel a connection to her, I must know what is going on and this Sesshomaru will find out.’ Not long after Sesshomaru finished bandaging her wounds Rin and Jaken shows up.

“My lord why are you with this half-breed and who is this child?” Jaken asks.

“Jaken you will watch your tongue or I will kill you,” Sesshomaru says. Jaken squeaks and quickly shuts up.

“My Lord, who is she?” Rin asks as she kneels in front of Sesshomaru who is still holding Aya.

“Her name is Aya, Rin, and I do not know but I will once she wakes up,” Sesshomaru says. “Until then we will be staying with Inuyasha and his pack.”

“But my Lord!” Jaken says.

Sesshomaru glares and Jaken bows and backs away. Sesshomaru then watches as Rin smiles down at Aya “She is very beautiful,” Rin says and then turns to talk with Inuyasha and Shippo.

‘Yes she is, but who is she?’ Sesshomaru thinks before getting lost in his own thoughts.
