Till The End Of Time [Inuyasha Fanfiction ]
Chapter 115's

"Groan!!!"

"Get down and destroy!!!

The sound of shouting was heard filling the sky at the end of autumn. The ground trembled with the swiftness of the horses and the numerous and simultaneous footsteps of the human towards one direction.

"Stop!!!"

The loud screams of a man were heard. From above the sky, a young taijiya flies down on the back of a necotama with a kusarigama weapon in hand. He stood up against all the troops moving towards the western land palace, his facial expression full of seriousness. The young Taijiya was none other than Kohaku.

"Stop!! Please, don't attack!!" kohaku shouted again begging the troops in front of him to stop attacking.

The footstep of the advancing troops came to a halt with the sudden appearance of Kohaku. However, the voice of a man arrived sounding loud. "You're human, Kohaku!! Why are you betraying your own people and siding with youkai??"

Kohaku stared at the owner of the voice who was none other than Arata, the leader of taijiya.

"Have you forgotten that your father and your comrades died in the hands of youkai?? Youkai is our enemy the humans!!"

Arata's speech made Kohaku clench his fingers firmly. His father and colleagues may indeed have died in the hands of youkai due to Naraku's plans. But, it was not that it had nothing to do with those who attacked the western land palace.

Youkai are the enemy of humans? Kohaku can't think like that. How many youkai did he know but always treated him well? Kirara, Shippo, Totosai, Myoga, then— to Sesshoumaru the ruler of the western land itself. How could he forget that inuyoukai kindness saved him as a child? Then, for a human woman who was like the spring sun, how did she allow him to be injured?—The war that the humans in front of her now from the beginning was a mistake.

"Just kill the young taijiya in front of it if he dares to stop us!!" the voice of the shout of the noble Mio who was sitting on a horse complete with her armor suddenly sounded. Both of his eyes stared dislikefully at Kohaku. "Whoever stops us is a traitor to man!!"

The flames of war had been ignited, no matter what, the Mio nobles would not let it go out. Because, the land and abundant natural resources will be his if the youkai palace in front of them managed to conquer.

The shout of Mio's noble speech instantly made the soldiers who had stopped move again. With weapons in hand they shouted forward ready to retaliate if Kohaku dared to attack.

However, just a few meters away they moved, the footsteps of all the soldiers came to a halt. An overwhelming pressure from within the western land palace suddenly enveloped them. Slowly, the tightly shut gate of the palace fortress opened.

The eyes of all the combined soldiers could see clearly. From behind the door that was now open, the figure of a youkai walked out quietly in the autumn sunlight.

Youkai is very handsome. With long silvery-white hair and a pair of brilliant golden eyes. He walked slowly, but at every step of his foot, the aura of nobility and heavy pressure emanated clearly. Then, with two swords tucked in his waist, all who saw knew the youkai in front of it was not a careless youkai.

Kohaku looked back at his head. His face could not hide his shocked feeling when he saw the youkai. "S-sesshoumaru-sama.."

The taijiya, miko, priests and monks could not hide the feeling of surprise when they realized who the golden-eyed youkai was. Sesshoumaru was the ruler of the western lands. His name is famous, but not many have ever seen him. The power that people have always told me so far is not trusted by anyone at all. Therefore, now, seeing with his own virtual head, just how terrifying the aura of youki emanated, fear filled their hearts. Is this Sesshoumaru, the daiyoukai lord of the famous western lands?

The nobles and his soldiers who were ordinary humans without spiritual power did not dare to move. An overwhelming fear filled their hearts. Looking at Sesshoumaru, their human instincts continued to warn of danger in plain sight.

Sesshoumaru stood silently staring at the soldier who was in front of him. His face was expressionless, as were his golden eyes.

The humans who want to kill the rightful spouse of the ruler of the western land along with the child in the womb. Then the ruler fought to protect them.

Sesshoumaru found it very funny, because it was a very famous story in the western lands. A love story between an inuyoukai lord of the western lands and a human princess—tales Inu No Taisho and Izayoi.

Now, the same story happens again. Only, the main character is no longer Inu No Taisho and Izayoi, but; Sesshoumaru and Rin.

Like Inu No Taisho, Sesshoumaru now follows all the footsteps of his respected biological father. Loving a human woman and willing to fight the world for that woman along with their child who is still in the womb.

Raising his head gazing at the blue sky above and closing his golden eyes, Sesshoumaru was eager to ask Inu No Taisho if he could now—like this, father? Is this how you feel when you stand facing the humans on the night of Inuyasha's birth?—nothing is more important than the existence of their wives and children.

The human army is still not moving. However, when they saw that no one else had walked out from inside the open door of the western land palace other than Sesshoumaru, the courage in their hearts came back. Their opponents were only one person, whereas their numbers were all close to fifteen thousand people—they would not lose.

Gathering all the courage that was in him, the noble Mio who was in the vanguard pointed her sword at Sesshoumaru. "He's alone!! Fear not!! We have come to behead him and that traitorous woman!! Attack!!"

The cry of Mio's nobility instantly resuscitated as well as emboldened his troops. Then, unstoppably, they all again moved forward past Kohaku to attack Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru lowered his head. Without opening his eyes, he could also feel the human army moving towards him.

Traitorous woman.

Humans call Rin that way. Not only that, all the derogatory names they give to the woman who owns the purest heart in the world. Because, how can Sesshoumaru forgive?

Man comes with the intention of killing himself, his wife and his son. Hadn't he said?—if they dared to come, then himself, Sesshoumaru the ruler of the western land would welcome them.

By himself?

Why would only he himself appear to face these humans? Is it because he doesn't need help?—no. The reason Sesshoumaru didn't allow anyone to help him was because—dia wanted to go crazy.

There was no need to hide any more feelings in his heart. Sadness, confusion, helplessness, despair and fearall the most important; anger. He would take it out now and pass it on to useless humans in plain sight.

Yep! Sesshoumaru wanted to kill them all! In the most painful and terrible way, he would create a sea of blood as well as a mountain of corpses—creating hell in the world. He would show the world the consequences if he dared to harass his family.

Opening both of his eyes, the brilliant golden color had turned blood red to the point that it was like black. Both ends of her lips widened and lifted upwards, revealing her long fangs. There was no longer a beautiful look on that face, there was only the horrible face of a youkai. Then, with an abnormal sound of laughter, the ruler of the western lands uprooted the bakusaiga and ran forward to attack.

....xoxOx....

Rin opened her two closed eyes. Slowly, his originally unfocused gaze refocused. His eyes then fell on Jaken who did not know since when he had been next to his futon.

"You awake, Rin? You hungry?" jaken asked as soon as he saw Rin who had woken up from her deep sleep.

"Jaken-sama?" rising up sitting on the futon, Rin stared at the puzzled Jaken who was beside him. Slowly, he then shook his head. "Rin's not hungry. Why are you here?"

"Why??" reply Jaken while standing up and yelling in annoyance. "I can't be here??"

Jaken's reaction made Rin laugh, shook her head, she then smiled gently at the frog's youkai. "No. Rin is even happy that Jaken-sama is here, because it has been a few days that Rin has not seen you."

Rin's reply made the irritation in Jaken's heart disappear without a trace. Not saying anything, with his face still grumbling, he sat back down.

Rin's smile grew wider seeing Jaken. His two clear brown eyes looked straight at the frog youkai. "Jaken-sama, you still haven't answered Rin's question, why are you here?"

"T-whatever I am." Replied Jaken ketus did not care even a little stammering. Turning his head down, he did not dare to look back at those clear eyes. There's no way she's telling Rin the reason she's in this room, is there?

Why was he in this room?— actually it was because Jaken could not bear to be outside the room anymore. The master bedroom of this western land is a room that is attached to the wealth, so as long as it is in the room, he will not hear the sound, smell or feel anything that happens outside.

Youkai are creatures with better senses of hearing, smell and taste than humans. Therefore, all the inhabitants of the palace could hear, smell and clearly feel what was happening in front of the palace now without the need to see it.

The sound of cries of fear and despair, the sound of begging for forgiveness and apologies from the humans—it all sounded clear in their ears. The rancid smell of blood piercing the nose was strong, and most importantly; the terrifying youki aura that was felt.

Sesshoumaru ordered that today was the usual end of autumn, and all the inhabitants of the palace did their duty, but— no one could do it. What the ruler of the western lands was doing outside the palace made all the inhabitants of the palace feel; fear.

Jaken's answer and attitude that did not dare to look into his eyes made Rin feel strange. But, he also did not ask further

With a smile still on his face, kisaki of the western land then looked around him. Then when his eyes fell on the place of the armor, tensaiga and bakusaiga that had been empty, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Slowly, Rin moved both hands hugging her stomach.  Lowering his gaze, he stared and stroked his stomach quietly. Feelings filled her heart, closing her eyes, she tried to calm herself down.

Jaken who was sitting next to Rin was completely unaware of the change in the human woman's face. The frog youkai still dissolved in his own mind, until Rin's quiet voice resuscitated him.

"Jaken-sama," slowly, Rin opened her eyes again and looked at Jaken. A small smile filled his pale face. "What is happiness?"

"Huh??" confused by Rin's sudden question, Jaken raised his head to look at Rin.

Rin looked back at his stomach and stroked it slowly. "Rin's greatest happiness now, according to Rin, is being able to always be with Sesshoumaru-sama and Shura."

Jaken is increasingly confused by Rin's explanation. Not understanding, he opened his mouth asking, "What do you mean, Rin?"

Rin chuckled and turned her head to look at Jaken once more. "Jaken-sama, when do you feel the happiest?"

"Huh?" jaken is confused. A second later, he tried to think about the answer to the question. "Hm—my happiest moment was when I was Sesshoumaru-sama's right-hand minister."

Once again Rin laughed at Jaken's reply. He recalled, back when he was a child, the frog youkai once said about his future who will become a minister in the kingdom of Sesshoumaru— unfortunately this desire is still not fulfilled.

"What are you laughing at, boy??" hardik Jaken is upset. Seeing Rin laughing at his words, he forgot their status difference. In her eyes, the human woman in front of her was still a wild little girl in the wild.

"No, no. Rin does not laugh at you Jaken-sama," Rin said immediately while holding back a laugh. Both of her brown eyes sparkled happily. "You never changed in the past. You're still the same as when Rin was a kid."

"Hmnn," Jaken looked away at Rin's reply. "Of course, I will never change."

Rin nodded his head and smiled with Jaken's revelation. There was a warm feeling filling her heart as she recalled her childhood— moments in the wild free with Jaken, Ah-un and also; Sesshoumaru.

"Jaken-sama," call Rin again slowly. A sweet smile filled his face. "It seems that when Rin was little, even though there was no Shura, with you, Ah-un and Sesshoumaru-sama was also one of the joys in Rin's life."

"What do you mean, stupid girl??" jaken asked confused. He really did not understand the direction of Rin's conversation today which was very strange.

"Then, while living in the human village and the western land palace was also a time of Rin's happiness. Together Inuyasha-sama, Kagome-sama, Sango-sama, Miroku-sama, Kaeda's grandmother, children,—lalu, Mother, Kiri-sama, Kira-sama and all," Rin continued without concern for Jaken. His eyes sparkled happily. "That's also one of the joys in Rin's life."

Jaken said nothing more to hear Rin's explanation. He felt that whatever he said would not be heard by the human woman.

"Rin's greatest happiness is with Sesshoumaru-sama and Shura, but, together with you dear Rin, it is also one of Rin's greatest joys."

Jaken just silently tried to digest everything Rin said with excitement.

Slowly, Rin turned her head back to look at her stomach. A gentle smile lovingly filled his face. "That happiness, Rin wanted to show it to Shura. Rin wants Shura to also experience all of Rin's happiness."

"What's that hard for?" jaken who could not stand it. He looked at Rin straight. "If you want Shura-sama to feel that, you just do it, right?"

"Eh?" this time, it was Rin's turn to be confused by Jaken's words. He looked at the frog youkai full of confusion.

"Shura-sama is the heir of the western lands, of course he will live in the western land palace with you, Sesshoumaru-sama, Inukimi-sama, Kiri and Kira—you don't think of living anywhere else, right?" jaken asked looking at Rin sharply.

Rin immediately shook his head when asked and stared at Jaken like that.

Jaken's long speech made Rin stunned to the point of being unable to say.

"Then, last—of course we'll wander again, stupid. Sesshoumaru-sama would definitely want Shura-sama to see the world and become strong. He will definitely take Shura-sama, Ah-un and myself on a trip at any time. So, you just stay with me when it comes."

Finished saying all his heart, Jaken snorted not liking to stare at Rin anymore. "Why is this so simple you don't know?"

Jaken's last question again leaves Rin stunned. However, instantly, a wide smile filled her beautiful face. The lengthy explanation he heard made him aware. Slowly, Rin's big smile then turned into a happy laugh, and so happy, tears even flowed down her cheeks.

Stay doing? Jaken's right. Rin did stay to do that for Shura when her son was born and raised. He can definitely do it, right?—ya! He can definitely!

"What are you crying about, you idiot?" hardik Jaken looked at Rin who was laughing with tears in his eyes.

Rin immediately wiped away her tears, with a laugh that she desperately held back. "You're right, Jaken-sama. Rin is so stupid that she can't know anything that simple."

"It's good that you know you're stupid." Jaken replied. But there was a feeling of gratitude as she saw the tears had stopped flowing down Rin's face.

Rin just laughed again. Lowering his head to his stomach, he stroked her back slowly. "Jaken-sama." call her then slowly.

"What?" jaken asked in his unchanged tone of voice.

Raising his head back to look at Jaken, Rin smiled gently. "Okay, if Shura is born and can wander, let us three wander along with Sesshoumaru-sama and Ah-un. Wandering like when Rin was a kid again."

"Of course." Rin's words this time make Jaken inevitably smile. Imagining himself with Sesshoumaru, Rin, Ah-un and Shura later, happiness filled his heart.

"When it comes, you have to light a bonfire every night for Rin and Shura" Rin continued. His eyes sparkled imagining the future full of happiness that existed. "You should also help us find food, and also, you should tell all the stories about the greatness of Sesshoumaru-sama to Shura."

"Who else can do that but me??" sela Jaken was full of pride while hitting the chest. His eyes sparkled happily hearing Rin's every word.

Rin laughed with Jaken's attitude. Lifting his right little finger, he pointed it at Jaken. "Promise?"

Jaken directly hooked the pinky of his right hand on Rin's little finger. "Promise."

Once again, for the umpteenth time, Rim laughed happily. Lowering his right hand, he again stroked his big belly.

A happy future. With all that she loved, Rin could imagine it. Then, Rin also knows now; what is happiness?—happiness is simple; happiness is when you are with those you love and love.

Happiness in the future. Happiness is very close but at the same time quite far away. But most importantly, happiness is beautiful. It was so beautiful that it always dazzled the eyes, therefore, Rin knew what she was supposed to do now.

"Ne, Jaken-sama," Rin turned her eyes back to Jaken. A gentle smile filled his face. "Can you help Rin bring Ah-un here?"

....xoxOx....

Standing on top of the western dirt palace fortress, staring at what was happening in front, both Kagome and Sango turned their heads to the side. They did not have the courage to stare further at the sight before their eyes. Their faces were both pale and full of fear.

Inuyasha and Miroku themselves did not move. Standing there, their faces were as pale as their wives. In fact, in fact, so did all the youkai warriors who were on top of the castle grounds west—fear.

Only Kiri and Kira were able to stand still with expressionless faces, as if the scene ahead was nothing, as well as Inukimi who laughed happily with pride.

"Kill! Kill them all!!" inukimi shouted happily. His two golden eyes shone brilliantly full of happiness under the abundance of autumn sunlight.

In front of them was war. However, anyone who saw it would not think it was a war, but rather a massacre—.

A sea of blood pooled above the ground, painting a red color as the eyes looked on. The bodies of the human soldiers who were no longer alive were disjointed into dozens of stacked pieces strewn about. The smell of blood rancid the air, and the sound of terrified cries broke the sky.

A terrible massacre and make anyone who sees creeps full of fear—a hell.

In the middle of that hell, Sesshoumaru stood tall. With the bakusaiga on his hands and body that had been covered in red blood, the inuyoukai raised its head upwards and smiled widely.

There was no longer any embalming and aura of a noble left from that inuyoukai. His face, which revealed a terrible smile and blood-red eyes as if black, had now become the worst nightmare of the surviving soldiers.

Arata, the leader of the taijiya, jumps up and throws a kunai at Sesshoumaru, while Yukina, the leader of the miko and Hisei, the leader of the monks, recites prayers to lock up the movement of the inuyoukai ruler of the western lands. Behind them Hikamaru, the priest leader also threw the spell paper that turned into chains to bind the enemy in front.

Then, as if following their leader, the taijiyas, miko, priests and surviving monks attacked. Holy arrows, paper and various sharp weapons glided rapidly in pursuit of Sesshoumaru's life.

There was not the slightest sense of trepidation Sesshoumaru felt seeing all the attacks directed at him. Kicking his right leg, his youkic aura immediately created a strong wind and blew the existing attack back to the back. The chain that tied his body came off.

Surprised, all the taijiya, miko, priests and monks stared at what was happening in disbelief. However, in one blink of an eye, Sesshoumaru had jumped into their crowd.

Lifting the bakusaiga in hand, the lord of the western lands moved the sword at a speed not caught by the human eye. The sounds of pain and fear were heard again. Like rainwater, red blood fell back on the ground.

Undeterred, blindly and with no concern for anything, Sesshoumaru continued to move the bakusaiga to kill. Sensing the warm red blood soaking through his body, the smile on Sesshoumaru's face grew wider and finally turned into a loud laughter.

Arata, Yukina, Hikmaru and Hisui stared in disbelief at what was happening. No matter what they did, they were simply unable to stop Sesshoumaru from continuing to kill their subordinates like they were killing ants. The fear in their hearts grew so much that it was unbearable. Seeing that youkai, they no longer knew how to conquer it.

The nobles and soldiers who were not far from the servants in front of the eyes could not stop trembling in fear. Their faces were deathly pale, and they knew that it would be a fate for them to die in this place.

Not knowing who started, the nobles immediately turned their horses back. Whipping their horses, they shouted loudly. "Retreat!! Back off!!!"

The cries of the nobles became the opening of a new commotion in the army. No matter what, the remaining soldiers immediately ran to save their own lives.

"Run!!!"

"Retreat!!!"

The noise made Sesshoumaru who was fighting the taijiyas, miko, priests and monks aware of what was happening. Seeing the humans who had started to retreat and flee full of fear, he laughed even louder. "Don't run away."

A dense red smoke suddenly appeared around Sesshoumaru's body. With an unstoppable laugh, from above the ground, the inuyoukai ruler of the western lands leapt up into the sky.

Above the eyes of all the soldiers present, in the blue sky of autumn, they saw the changed figure of Sesshoumaru. His face was elongated and unnaturally enlarged, as well as his body. The red smoke whirled around him, then a second later, they saw a giant white dog flying over the sky.

The white dog was extremely large, its size could even be as big as a mountain. The sign of the moon coir on the forehead, the two purple lines on the cheeks, the blackish-red eyes and the open mouth reveal large, sharp fangs.Everyone knows, it's the real figure of Sesshoumaru, Inu daiyoukai from the west.

Flying down against the nobles and soldiers who were trying to escape, Seshoumaru's big face grinned at them. His blackish-red eyes shone full of madness.

"Pardon us." said one of the soldiers in the front row crying. His body shook violently with fear.

"Pardon us, youkai-sama.." added one more soldier. Throwing the sword in his hand, he kneeled in apology. "Punish us!! Forgive us!!"

All the soldiers that were there immediately followed. Throwing the weapons in hand, they kneeled in apology. Tears flowed down, a deathly pale face full of fear. They could only hope that the youkai ahead were willing to let them go.

"Sorry!! Forgive us!!"

"Punish us!! Please don't kill us!!

The voice that is connected is unstoppable like a mantra. Sesshoumaru's grin that was in its original form became wider. Opening his large mouth, he then moved forward and pounced on the immobile soldiers— biting their bodies until it was cut off.

"Y!!!! No!!"

"Please!!!"

"Excuse us, youkai-sama!!!"

The sound of screaming in fear was heard again. In its original great form, Sesshoumaru again moves and crazes to create hell in the world.

"Hahaha," Inukimi's laughter that was on top of the fortress sounded very happy. His two golden eyes stared proudly at the original figure of Sesshoumaru. "You really have exceeded the scoundrel Taisho, Sesshoumaru! Good, very good!!"

The greatness of the western lands, the original figure of the inu daiyoukai that all living things fear, Inukimi was really overjoyed to see Sesshoumaru now. The former ruler of the western lands was convinced, now, in this world, there would no longer be any youkai capable of rivaling his biological son. With his strength, Sesshoumaru could destroy this world if he wanted to.

Rin's smiling face gently stroked her stomach overshadowed Inukimi's mind, and it made her laugh even louder. Staring at the helpless humans in front, he felt grateful, because Sesshoumaru mumgkin would not have been able to reach this point if they had not come.

Rin and Shura.

Inukimi knew, it was their mutualness that made Sesshoumaru achieve this incredible power now. Because Sesshoumaru wanted to protect the two most important existences of his life; his wife and son.

Love is a human feeling. Love is a useless feeling. Love will make you weak and perish; love is weakness.

The words are strung together and taught in the world of youkai. Everyone said it was true, but looking at Sesshoumaru now, Inukimi knew, those words were wrong.

Love never weakens, quite the opposite. When you truly love, love will be an infinite power.

Unlike the happily laughing Inukimi, Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Sango can only swallow looking at Sesshoumaru's true form now. The original form of the inuyoukai is big, they know, because they saw it a few years ago. However, the size of the inuyoukai in front of them was now no longer reasonable.

A feeling of fear approached them, Inuyasha was no exception. They could only see from a distance, there was not the slightest courage in their hearts to stop the brutality ahead.

Who can stop Sesshoumaru who is in this state now? Approaching him, no one would dare. Simply by staring at the blood-soaked body of a giant dog, the bodies of all living things will tremble in fear, the survival instinct will continue to warn of the danger ahead and avoid.

The humans who came with killing intent and conquered the western land palace, all there was to know, no one will be safe to say what happened.—death is the only way available to them.

Kohaku who was far enough away from the place where Sesshoumaru slaughtered the humans was unable to move. His face was pale with fear, not knowing what to do.

Sesshoumaru, Inu daiyoukai from the west. Today, the first time the young taijiya saw the brutality of the ever-quiet inuyoukai, and she— did not want to see him again for the second time.

Unable to bear looking at the scene ahead anymore, Kohaku then turned his head to the side. His black eyes then widened when he saw the open door of the palace fortress.

An overwhelming fear soon filled Kohaku's heart as he looked at who was stepping out from behind the open door.

Slowly, stepping on his short legs, Jaken walked forward full of fear. His trembling hands held the bridle of Ah-un who followed him, and on Ah-un's back, a human woman sat sideways while touching her large belly.

"Rin.."
