Till The End Of Time [Inuyasha Fanfiction ]
Chapter 99's

Inuyasha stood up not knowing what to do with the frightened Shiro beside him. He had no idea what was happening, but, he could see the explaining chaos in front of him. Besides, Miroku and Sango stood up, with their frightened children peering out from behind their feet.

Kiri and Kira, two twin brothers from the west were also there. The two of them stood with their faces expressionless, although their eyes said another incredible fear emanated clearly.

Inuyasha looked at Miroku and the pale-faced Sango, he wanted to ask what happened, but, he did not find his voice. A few minutes ago, he who was sleeping on the roof of Sesshoumaru and Rin's bedroom, suddenly heard the sound of their frightened cries that were below, and as he jumped downwards, he said, his golden eyes found Rin unconscious on the ground.

Holding Rin in his room immediately, Sesshoumaru suddenly appeared in front of them, and Inuyasha was sure, he would not be able to forget the expression of his half-brother for the rest of his life.

That always calm and expressionless face looked completely different. The sharp golden eyes that were usually emotionless exuded clearly one emotion back then; fear.

Looking at her face again, Inuyasha then looked at Sesshoumaru and Kagome who were beside Rin. The Inuyoukai is motionless, he sits next to the futon where Rin lies with Kagome who keeps pumping the unconscious woman's heart using her hands.

"Come, Rin-chan!! It's ticking!! Breathe!!" yell Kagome panicked. Tears had flowed down both of his cheeks. An overwhelming fear filled his heart.

Kagome really did not know what happened, a few minutes ago, Rin still smiled and laughed at him, this human woman is still walking and healthy. However, all of a sudden–dia fainted.

His warm body instantly became cold as ice. However, the scariest thing is, his breathing slowly getting shorter and the beating of the heart is getting weaker and weaker, until finally–stop.

"Please, Rin!! Layin' up!!!"

Sesshoumaru who was beside Kagome did not say a word. Touching the ice-cold little hand of the woman he loved, the inuyoukai paid no heed to the screams that kept trying to pump Rin's unconscious heart with his hands.

Rin lay in front of him, on a futon. With both eyes closed and a deathly pale face. With her sharp sense of hearing, she could not hear the heartbeat of the human woman who was supposed to beat in rhythm with her heart.

It hurts, but he's not hurt. His heart was beating, but Sesshoumaru felt something wrong, as if a part of him had been taken away from him.

'Sesshoumaru-sama'

A smiling face called out his name, a beautiful voice like the clink of bells–the eternal spring of his life

'According to you, our boy or girl, Sesshoumaru-sama?'

The warmth that filled the entire recesses of her heart as she touched Rin's flat stomach, precious the child in her womb–hart invaluable.

Will he lose them together?–no! He doesn't want to lose them, not for today, not for tomorrow! Forever, Sesshoumaru did not want to lose them!

"Rin.." call Sesshoumaru. His voice was extremely low, but filled with unexplainable emotions. "Open your eyes."

Sesshoumaru's hand then approached Rin's face. An unstoppable anger instantly filled his face. His two golden eyes turned red now, "This Jesshoumaru commands you to open your eyes now!!!!"

A loud and terrifying Sesshoumaru voice filled the room. Then, along with his voice, suddenly, the seki meido that was never released from Rin shone.

His extremely bright and powerful radiance pushed Kagome who was beside Rin to the point of bouncing back. "Yes!!!!"

Inuyasha moved quickly, looking at the bouncing Kagome, he immediately caught her, "You okay, Kagome?" tanyanya's worried.

"I'm fine." Kagome immediately shook her head. However, immediately, he turned his face back to Rin and Sesshoumaru.

The powerful seki meido light bent the Kagome backwards. Strangely, however, the light did not thicken Sesshoumaru. The Inuyoukai is still in his position.

Slowly, the light of the meido dimmed, and when the light was completely gone, Sesshoumaru could hear again the sound of Rin's rhythmic heartbeat, as well as a slow and small throbbing on the lifemeido seki.

"Sesshoumaru-san..."

The soft voice called out his name, making the red eyes and the expression of anger on Sesshoumaru's face return as usual. An overwhelming feeling of relief immediately filled the heart of the ruler of the western lands. In front of him, those clear brown eyes had opened up again, with a beautiful smile even weakly on his face.

"Rin listen to your orders.."

....xoxOx....

In a forest not so far away from the crowd, Shippo, a fox youkai walked cheerfully. A smile of laughter adorned the face, and contentment filled his heart looking at the reddish twilight sky.

He had just managed to master one very powerful new skill. It has not been in vain that he has wandered alone in recent years since the destruction of Naraku. Perhaps before long, he could even defeat that narrow-minded Inuyasha with his own two hands.

"Hahahahaha," stop walking. Shipo then laughed to himself. He could not hold back his emotions anymore as he imagined the sprawling Inuyasha in front of him. "Wait for this great Shippo Inuyasha!!!"

Shippo's laughter echoed across the forest. However, the movement behind the bushes beside him suddenly shocked him. Jumping away, his laughter disappeared replaced by vigilance and fear.

"Who's there??" shippo asked loudly with his voice trembling. Fear filled his heart, was there a dangerous youkai eyeing his life there?

There was no answer to his question, and Shippo could also see the bushes had stopped moving.

Emboldened, Shippo walked closer to the bushes slowly. Vigilance remained within him. "Who are you?? Before I attack you, show yourself!!"

"J-don't attack us," replied the voice of a little girl suddenly from behind the bushes. "We're out now.."

Standing on the spot, Shipo then saw two little girls looking like seven and six-year-olds walking out. One look, the fox youkai knew, the two little girls in front of him were youkai. From red eyes, pale white skin and pointy ears–they.

But, what made Shippo confused was the fear and also the wounds all over their bodies that were trembling in fear. "Who are y'all? Why are you hurt like this?"

"K-we are the youkai of the white rat clan of the neutrals," replied the larger little girl stammering. His red eyes shed endless tears. "Our villages were attacked by humans. We're the only ones who managed to save themselves.."

....xoxOx....

In Sesshoumaru's workroom, the inuyoukai ruler of the western land stood staring out at the twilight sky that had already started to become night. Behind him, Inuyasha, Kagome, Jinenji and Inukimi stood in silence.

"Explain to this Sesshoumaru, what happened to Rin."

Sesshoumaru's voice remained calm and flat. But, the horror contained made Kagome and Jinenji who heard it goosebumps out of fear. Only Inuyasha and Inukimi can still control themselves.

"H-servant doesn't know how to explain it" Jinenji replied stammeringly. The Hanyou stared at the figure of Sesshoumaru with his trembling body. "Rin-sama is always healthy as long as the servant checks on her."

"So?" ask Sesshoumaru again. Slowly, he turned his body and stared fixedly at Jinenji. "You have no explanation for this Sesshoumaru?"

Jinenji immediately knelt down with a great trembling body. His pale face was full of fear. The sight of the ruler of the western land was now truly frightening. "Pardon me, Sesshoumaru-sama!!"

"So?" ask Sesshoumaru again. Kagome's speech had absolutely no effect on the inuyoukai, and it made the future miko panic. Sesshoumaru looked very calm, but also at the same time very terrible. This was the first time he had seen her like this.

"Hey, motherfucker!!" the voice of Inuyasha's vexed cry suddenly sounded. "Now is not the time for you to act like this!!"

"Taisho's son is right, Sesshoumaru," Inukimi added. His face was flat as usual, but both eyes were also filled with worry. "All we can do now is focus on restoring her little Rin's health."

Sesshoumaru silently nodded at Inukimi's words. She knew, what her birth mother said was true, what their main focus now was to restore Rin's health.

Closing her eyes, she then took a breath and tried to control her emotions. Opening his eyes again, he looked at Jinenji again. "What is the condition of the child in Rin's womb?"

"The child in Rin-sama's womb is okay" Jinenji replied quickly. "Hamba has examined it carefully, the child in the womb is very healthy."

"Yes, brother," Kagome added. The thing he is most grateful for from the terrible events that happened is that the child in Rin's womb is okay. The boy remained healthy even though his mother's heart had stopped for a while. "Although Rin-chan's condition isn't so good, your son is very healthy."

Sesshoumaru did not say anything hearing Jinenji and Kagome's reply. Silently silent, he then turned his face to look at Inukimi. "Meido seki's back shining and ticking, you know what that means, mother?"

Inukimi did not answer Sesshoumaru's question. He who was in the library was not at the scene when the meido seki shone and began to beat back. So, he did not dare to make a conclusion.

Nearly three more months had passed since he locked himself in the library, and up until this very second, Inukimi had found no answer as to why the meido was beating. Long thousands of years old notes in their family, never wrote that he could beat–ini is the first time.

Sighing, Inukimi then replied quietly. "I don't know, Sesshoumaru. We can only see the situation.."

....xoxOx....

Shui smiling happily looked at the night sky from the window of his room. The star and the crescent moon that shone above the sky were very fond of him, moreover the crescent moon which was the emblem of the inuyoukai family of the rulers of the western lands.

"Shui-sama," called an old youkai who kneeled in worship to Shui. He looked like an elderly human grandfather, with a white beard and red eyes. However, his body was full of wounds. "Please give justice to the white rat clan!!"

Shui turned his head back and looked at the old man in silence. A worried expression filled her face, replacing her happy smile just now. "What's wrong?"

"Shui-sama," call the old man again. Sadness emanated from his face. Tears flowed down unstoppably from his pair of red eyes. "A group of youkai disguised as humans suddenly attacked our village! They hunted down and killed our clan members!! Please give us justice!!"

The white rat clan was a youkai clan from a neutral area. They were a small and weak clan, where they preferred to live a peaceful and hidden life. But, not knowing why, youkai disguised as a human suddenly appeared and destroyed them.

This old youkai was the elder of the white rat clan. At his old age, he saw for himself his clan hunted and slaughtered, their village burned and destroyed–he could do nothing but ask for help from Shui, the esteemed of neutral youkai. Whoever youkai disguised himself as a human and attacked them, he wanted them all dead!

Shui immediately walked over to the old man. Bowing down, he immediately moved both his hands helping the old youkai stand up. "Calm down, are there any other members of your clan who survived?" tanyanya slow.

The old youkai shook his head. Her tears became increasingly heavy, as well as her sobs. "T-no. I'm the only survivor..."

"That's it.." said Shui slowly understandingly.

"Shui-sama, you should give keadi–ughh.." the old youkai remark was not resolved. An incredible pain assaulted him. As she was aware of what was happening, she saw that Shui's hand that was in front of her had hollowed out her chest– pulled out her heart.

"Why.." stammered and collapsed down bloodless, the old youkai's eyes were full of confusion. "S-shui-san..."

"The white mouse clan is destroyed in human hands, not in youkai hands.." Laughter Shui happy. His white eyes sparkled happily at the presence of the shocked and confused old youkai beneath him slowly disappearing from this world.

Raising the beating heart head in her hand, Shui then squeezed it to shreds. Looking at the red blood flowing in her hands, a wide smile filled her pretty face.

The smile and laughter of an extremely sweet human woman flashed through his mind. Makes her heart feel warm and happy.

"Ah," sighed softly, Shui returned laughing. "The beauty of your blood-red, must be more beautiful than this blood-red, Rin..."

....xoxOx....

"Sesshoumaru-sama.." Rin called out slowly to Sesshoumaru who walked into their room. On top of the futon, the human woman sat down and smiled with her pale face.

"Sesshoumaru-sama." Kiri, Kira, as well as Rei and Rika who accompanied Rin inside the room immediately knelt down giving a salute to the inuyoukai ruler of the western lands upon seeing him.

Sesshoumaru did not repay their respect. Silently silent with her flat face, she approached Rin. Kneeling down, his hands immediately hugged the tiny body tightly. Immersing her face on the slit of the human woman's neck, she inhaled the smell of spring that could always calm her down.

Left, Kira, Rei and Rika immediately resigned and stepped out of the ruling room to see the interaction of the couple. Silently, without making any sound, they closed the open door of the shoji.

Rin who was hugged suddenly by Sesshoumaru was stunned. A moment later, however, he closed his eyes. A warm, tight hug, a firm, unshakable hug. But, he could feel relief and also; fear. "Sesshoumaru-sama.." call her slowly.

Sesshoumaru still did not answer Rin's call. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself–soothing the fear in his heart.

Today, the world collapsed for a moment. As he watched the woman in his arms now stop breathing, as he could no longer hear a heartbeat that was in rhythm with his heart, Sesshoumaru knew, what was the–the world that ended.

Unbelievable fear, unbearable pain, terrible solitude, a void that will never end - a life that will have no meaning anymore.

Today, he had almost lost two irreplaceable existences in his long life, and he– could do nothing. He who is strong, great, powerful and feared all who are in the world both youkai and human, can do nothing.

'This little girl won't be able to you turn on a third time.'

He won't be able to bring Rin to life a third time. Tensaiga, the sword of his father's legacy will never be able to save the life of the woman he loves again. Meido seki's family legacy will also not be usable anymore.The third death is Rin's actual death.

Is she ready if she loses Rin and their child in her womb?–she is not ready, and forever too; she will never be ready.

Their preciousness, their importance–they are everything to him now. He's willing to do anything for them, he's willing to be destroyed, willing to die–he's just not willing to lose them.

Her happiness–their happiness is so perfect, so beautiful and amazing. He thought he could keep it, but it turned out he was wrong, that beautiful happiness had a flaw–ada the black dot stained their happiness.

For all that is uncertain now, for a future that he does not know what–Sesshoumaru looks like; fear.

"Stay," murmured Sesshoumaru quietly. His embrace is getting tighter. "Deceased. This Sesshoumaru ordered, never leave this Sesshoumaru..."

The quiet whisper. The commandment was uttered with imposition, but Rin who heard it knew, this was the request of the self-precious–inuyoukai so high now knelt hugging him tightly, pleading to a human woman; stay and don't leave her.

Closing his eyes, Rin then raised both hands in return for Sesshoumaru's close embrace. "Yes, Rin will stay. Rin and our son will never leave Sesshoumaru-sama..."
