Summary: The descent into madness…
The brush of her lips against his cheek, soft hands lingering against his, a whisper, a soft fluttering noise, and it disappeared.
He awoke to silence…
It was amazing how simple memories could haunt him, more than anything else.
A scream, a laugh, and the tearful eyes staring wide open…a whisper of, “it wasn’t who you thought it was.”
Murder...
“The Inu no Taisho holds too much power…”
“He is driven by grief, driven to the point of pursuing his own damnation.”
“Lessen his power, lessen his determination.”
“He still holds to the thought that it was a murder.”
“It was obvious that it was suicide.”
“Careful what you say, the Inu no Taisho is far wiser than his years.”
Soon…
Soon…
He would find them…
And then…
They would die.
His first love…bright and blooming…
Years and years passed with little insight to the mystery. He could feel her fingers twist into his hair, urging him on, whispering secrets and suspicions. Her eyes filled with tears, rolling down, down, down before dropping into the abyss. She smiled…so sweetly.
“You’ll find them…”
He needed to…needed that reassurance.
Never silenced…
Until the day he breathed in a sweet scent...
Soon...soon my love...
Even if it took his last breathe…
He would find them.
“The Inu no Taisho is weak in his grief…soon…”
Sesshomaru pulled his sword from his hip…and smiled.
The soft sound of laughter, of happiness, echoed throughout the castle. The moment of pure bliss…of Rin’s mirth and peace.
Echoes…
