Summary: Sesshoumaru's mother revisits an old offer to Inuyasha.
She finds him hiding in the forest like a ghost likely to become a legend. She lands softly next to him as he snores under a tree. He wakes to her presence, and when he realizes who she is, he relaxes slightly and makes a sour face.
“Oh, my little one, why do you do this to yourself?” she asks, and he scoffs at her. “Your mate is dead, and your descendants barely recognize you, yet you toil in the shadows alone.”
“Why do you care?” he snarls, and he meets her golden eyes and her impassive face. She smiles slightly, and his face flushes. She supposes he hasn’t reacted like that in awhile. She’s begun to miss it since the last time she’s seen him.
“Years ago when you were nothing I asked you to join me. My offer still stands, Inuyasha.” She holds out her hand, and he stiffens only to succumb when she rubs a hand down his cheek. He closes his eyes as a heavy breath escapes.
He swallows hard. “Ha! What will your son think?”
She chuckles arrogantly. “Sesshoumaru does not choose for me.” She beckons him again. “Come.”
Since he no longer has anything left in this human world, Inuyasha accepts. He jumps onto her silvery back as she transforms, and together they fly into the sky. Inuyasha leaves his home behind him, lulling within his memories.
Then, with this woman who’s always wanted him, he begins his life anew - all over again.
