Till The End Of Time [Inuyasha Fanfiction ]
Chapter 26's

"I don't understand you, Sesshoumaru," said a silver-haired female youkai with a relaxed face full of laziness. His two golden eyes were directed at the figure of the Western Land Ruler who had turned back to him in Rin's room in the eastern pavilion of the western land palace. "While I, Inukimi, am the woman who gave birth to you, I can never understand you."

Sesshoumaru just remained silent without moving a bit. He did not even care about the youkai, hanyou and the humans who were in the same room with him, his two golden eyes continued to stare straight at the painting of a smiling human girl in front of him - Rin's painting.

Inukimi then turned her golden eyes to look at Akiko who was being held captive by two western palace warriors not far beside her. The expression on his face remained unchanged, namely relaxed full of laziness. "When are you going to kill this fox?"

Inukimi's question made Akiko's face full of wounds turn deathly pale. His two hands that were bound by iron chains instantly trembled, "You won't dare!" his eyes looked at the figure of Sesshoumaru who was in front of him. "You won't dare kill me! If you kill me, Shura will forever brand you as a father who killed his mother!"

"Dad killed Mom? The keh! Who do you want to fool?!" the lips of an early twenty-year-old man suddenly. He had long silver hair with a pair of dog ears on it. His two golden eyes stared intently at Akiko, while his hands were folded over the red kimono he was wearing.

"Shura knows me as her mother, the woman who gave birth to her! That's reality!" akiko shouted loudly looking at the man.

"Reality?" the man replied with annoyance, "Who would you deceive, asshole!?"

"Inuyasha, calm yourself down" said a woman dressed in miko suddenly as she touched the man's shoulder. The woman had black hair and brown eyes, her age also looked the same as Inuyasha's.

"Don't tell me to calm down, Kagome! I'm your husband, so let me finish what I said first. It's as if he said Shura adala—"

"Inuyasha, relax. What will you gain from your anger?" cut off a haired man as well as black eyes suddenly, he was wearing the clothes of a monk and his age was visible around mid-thirty.

"True Miroku said, Inuyasha, calm down." added a woman who was beside Miroku quietly. He looks the same age as Miroku. Long black hair tied in a ponytail with a pair of brown eyes, and he was wearing the clothes of a taijiya.

"Thank you for agreeing with me, Sango." Miroku smiled as he looked at the woman.

"Iwasha-san. We all understand how you feel, but, you know, it's not the time to be angry." Said a man in his late twenty. Long black hair tied one, his brown eyes staring at the calm hanyou figure that looked still full of anger. And just like Sango, the man was also wearing the clothes of a taijiya.

"Yes, that's great! Thank you for agreeing with me, my sister-in-law, Kohaku." Miroku said again while looking at the man.

Inuyasha just threw away the face of hearing the words of his wife and all his friends. He said nothing more, for he knew it would be of no use.

"If you can't kill him, then just let the servant kill the fox, Sesshoumaru-sama." said someone youkai woman suddenly. He had short silver hair and golden eyes like all the inuyoukai that existed. The youkai looked like an early twenty, he was wearing a blue kimono complete with silver colored war clothes. Her pretty face did look calm, but the aura around her clearly said otherwise.

"Hamba will also happily do that, Sesshoumaru-sama." Add a male youkai. Just like the female youkai, she also wore a blue kimono complete with silver-colored war clothes, even their faces were very similar as well. Just one look, everyone will know, they are both twin brothers.

The two youkai immediately walked over to Akiko. The face of the concubine of the ruler of the western land instantly paled. He knew, the two youkai were serious. The two of them would not hesitate to kill him, and his death would definitely be a very slow and painful death. It's no secret that the two youkai hated him a long time ago.

"Stop, Left, Kira." Sesshoumaru orders a sudden calm without turning his body.

The two youkai immediately stopped and turned their faces to look at Sesshoumaru. "Why did you stop us, Sesshoumaru-sama?" kiri asked, youkai the woman, there was anger in her tone. However, his twin brother Kira suddenly shouted furiously at the Western Land Ruler with eyes that had turned as red as blood. "Yes! Whyyy!? After what this fox did, betrayed the west, and wanted to take advantage of Shura-sama, why are you still stopping us, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"Because Rin wouldn't want that to happen." Answer Sesshoumaru.

Kiri and Kira instantly fell silent in shock at the answer, as did everything there. Their eyes were all wide open to hear an unexpected answer.

"God!" cibir Inuyasha suddenly. His golden eyes stared at the angry figure of Sesshoumaru who was still staring at Rin's painting. "Rin, Rin, Rin. I don't know what's on your mind Sesshoumaru. But, I believe, if Rin were still here, she would definitely not agree with what you did. Keep everything a secret from Shura, you think she'll be happy?!"

Sesshoumaru silently nodded.

"Inuyasha, stop!" kagome said slowly trying to calm her husband.

"Don't tell me to stop Kagome!" inuyasaha shouted furiously at Kagome. A moment later, he again turned his face to look at Sesshoumaru. "Have you forgotten about it?! Forgetting Rin?! You knew! You who are cruel, cold, selfish and heartless never deserve him at all!"

"Inuyasha, stop!" yell Kagome again. However, the one who was haughtiness did not care, he just kept shouting out everything that was in his mind. "I should have opposed her wish to be with you first! Youkai like you never deserved to get his love!?"

Kagome who could not stand it anymore with all the words Inuyasha immediately shouted using a word she knew would definitely stop the hanyou mouth. "Inuyasha! Osuwari!"

A heavy gravitational push suddenly struck Inuyasha and left him sprawled on the tatami floor he was on. "Geeh!" yell Inuyasha. His head immediately lifted staring at Miko as well as his wife. "What the fuck are you, Kagome?!"

"Shut your mouth!" snapped Kagome pissed. He then turned his head to look at Sesshoumaru who was still standing without the slightest movement. He could not stop the sad feeling that enveloped him. What does the figure of the human girl named Rin mean to youkai the ruler of the western land, how important and valuable the girl, she knows - no! Not only himself, maybe Inuyasha himself and all those in this room know, therefore, Inuyasha's words were actually very late.

"Yes, you're right Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru is a youkai and Rin is a human. Youkai and the human. "said Sesshoumaru suddenly, making everything there look at him. "Humans are useless, weak, fragile and stupid creatures."

"What did you mean just now, Sesshoumaru-sama?" kohaku asked confusedly, not believing what he was hearing. However, the ruler of the western land did not care, he still straightened out his unresolved words. "More for Rin. He who is weak and fragile is truly the dumbest man in the world."

Sesshoumaru's words made the eyes of all those who were there widen in surprise. A moment later their shocked expressions immediately turned into expressions of anger, except for Inukimi who still could not believe what she was hearing. "Pull back what you said just now, asshole!?" inuyasha shouted with anger.

Sesshoumaru still did not care about Inuyasha nor everyone who was now looking at him full of anger. "Flicking is reality. This Seshoumaru cannot change it. No one will."

"You!" inuyasha shouted, he immediately moved forward, willing to attack his half-brother. However, the shoji door of the room they were in suddenly opened, revealing the figure of Shura who was standing with an expressionless face.

Unaware of the feeling of shock that filled their hearts all with the sudden appearance of Shura, the figures of Sakura, Shiro, Mamoru, Aya and Maya appeared from behind Shura. Sakura's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement upon seeing Inuyasha and Kagome. Without wasting any time, the little hanyou immediately ran up to the two of them. "Mother! Daddy!" call happy. Shiro immediately ran up to their parents with a smile, followed by Mamoru, Maya and Aya who ran up to their parents; miroku and Sango.

"Why are you here?" inuyasha asked confusedly. He immediately raised his hand holding his beloved daughter.

"Sakura is here for following Brother Shura, Father." Sakura replied with a laugh.

Shura's name mentioned by Sakura made Inuyasha and everyone in the room look at Shura who was still standing at the door. The small inuyoukai face remained expressionless. Although he did not know who the youkai and the humans in front of him were, from the smell that was smelled and the aura that was felt, he knew, whoever was in front of him, was still mostly his relatives. His eyes then fell on Akiko who was being held captive by two soldiers. A smile adorned the face of the concubine of the ruler of the western lands upon seeing Shura. "Shura, son.. You finally came home. Help u! Hurry and help your mother.." she said softly.

Akiko's words made everyone there turn their heads to look at the fox youkai full of anger. However, Akiko did not care, she kept staring at Shura with eyes full of tears, "Shura, my son! Look, what they did to your mother.."

Shura looked at Akiko with her face that remained expressionless as usual, a moment later, she raised her head staring at everything in front of her. As his gaze then fell on the figure of his Father's back, slowly and firmly, he stepped foot closer. Not caring for her even the slightest bit of confused look everyone had on her, nor Akiko who still kept pleading for her help.

When he arrived behind Sesshoumaru, Shura immediately bowed her head in salute. "I'm home, Daddy.."

Sesshoumaru just silently remained silent not to return Shura's greeting. His two golden eyes were still centered on the painting in front of him that he had been staring at since earlier.

Waving her legs again, Shura then stood beside Sesshoumaru. Like her father, she raised her head staring at the painting of the smiling human girl in front. His sharp and cold golden eyes instantly softened. A small smile bloomed on his handsome face.

At last.

He finally saw this painting again. Seeing the smile of spring that she loved so much, seeing the figure of the human girl who always loved and loved her - seeing the painting of the woman who actually gave birth to her.

The eyes of all those who were there were immediately wide in shock, never did they think that Shura knew the truth of who Rin really was.

Sesshoumaru just he's mute. He was not surprised in the least by what Shura said. Since the first time he saw his son find Rin's painting, he already knew, sooner or later what he had kept secret would definitely be discovered. Shura is his son, his son who is very similar to him. Although kept secret, hidden, lied to, he will surely discover the reality of whose blood is actually flowing in him—human blood; rin's blood.

Closing his eyes slowly, the memories of Rin instantly possessed him. Sesshoumaru could hear clearly the loud laughter like the clanking of bells he liked, clearly seeing the smile of spring he loved. Their past, their happiness and suffering, their laughter and tears, their togetherness and their separation...
