Hi. I'm kinda a newcomer to the Inuyasha show ( a friend got me into it) and I'm in the process of writing a fanfic. But I got a question...
See, my story is gonna center on Sesshomarou...in fact the title is 'Blood Brothers- the Redemption of Sesshomarou'. During this story he has a dream where he gets pulled to hell and the Himoculai from Full Metal Alchemist put him though a Kangaroo Court of a trial where he has to atone for the 4 deadly sins he's guilty of - Pride, Envy, Greed, and Wrath. After he has the dream I was gonna have his mother appear to him to help him through it.
Now, I always assumed his Mom was dead, cause I heard that dog demons, such as him, and extremely loyal to their mates and stay with their lovers for life. So it would stand to reason his Mom had died long before his father married InuYasha's mom. But I read on another site his Mom as still living. To me that doesn't make to much sense caise if his Dad was anyhting like him, he'd be too noble to divorce, or cheat on his mate.
But it's my first InuYasha story and I don't want to get it wrong so I want to know for sure- is his Mon dead or alive?

Sesshoumaru's mother is alive; she appears late in the manga, although we don't learn her name. She is a dog demon and strongly resembles Sesshoumaru, but has a more whimsical nature. We don't get any information about what happened between her and the boys' father, but it does seem that they were on reasonably good terms afterwards, as Inu no Taisho was able to leave a magical stone with her to serve as a test for Sesshoumaru when he became ready to perfect Tenseiga.

Abbykat is right, Sesshomaru's mother is still alive (despite being hundreds if not thousands of years old) and well. As to why Inu no Taisho left Sesshomaru's mother it has never been fully answered, a theory I believe is that Inu no Taisho met Sesshomaru's mother when he was younger and for him it wasnt about love but to well..get it on. But one day he met Izayoi and he actually fell in love rather then just attracted to so he left Sesshomaru's mother to be with Izayoi and died to save her and Inuyasha. As said thats just a theory I have, could be any reason. good luck with your fanfic and post the link sometime.
That's a good theory. But I think I'll have it be an amicable spilt. They both decided they weren't right for each other way before Izayoi. That's in fact one of the things she'll kind of scold him about, his prejudices. She said SHE was alright with Izayoi, and even sent them a wedding gift, and she's disappointed in the behavior of her own son.
Also (spolier alert!) she reveals SHE was the one who helepd guide Rin to Sesshomarou in a last ditch effort to teach him a lesson about humans and compassion. She's glad to see that it worked, and when Sesshomarou tells her he does want to chenge and finally accept his brother, his Mom smiles and says, 'NOW my Son..you have truly made me proud!'
I only hope I don't anger the purists too much by having Sesshomarou be the one to save InuYasha and mend fences with him at the end. But I can send the link to fanfiction.net once I have the first part up.

Well technically Sesshomaru has saved Inuyasha before. When his full demon blood took over and he went mad, Sesshomaru disarmed him and told Kagome to put the Tessaiga near him, so he technically saved him there. Even if he didn't want to admit it. And even though the films aren't technically related to the movies he did push Inuyasha out of the way of danger in the 3rd flick.
Oh. I know that, and I also know that they've pretty much mended fences by the 4th movie, I just hope that purists do like how I portray Sesshomarou, especially after the Nightmare in Hell and his conversation with both his parents. Would it be OK to post links here?

As soon as I get the first part up (I'm wokring with a friend of mine) But YOU wouldn't mind Kikiyo being one of the bad guys (in my opinion, she was anyway) or Sesshomarou being redeemed, would ya?

Oh, I can assure you I have no intention of him doing THAT, but you WILL get to see a lesser seen side of him, especially when he has the nightmare and when he shows worry toward his brother.
Here's an exerpt from the first art, right after Kikiyo uses her arrows to poison InuYasha (Kagome isn't there yet)and she's in the middle of a confrontation with a VERY pissed Sesshomarou:
“Oh, please, you’re not fooling anyone!” Kikiyo retorted. “The only reason you want that antidote is just so you can take his life yourself the very moment you save it! You just can‘t accept the fact that YOU lost and someone else beat you to the kill.” Sesshomarou growled and shoved her up against the tree. “The antidote now, this is NOT a request.” “And if I don’t?” “I shall rip you apart with my own hand.” “Try it and your brother will die for sure. In case you didn’t listen the first time, I’m the ONLY one who has the antidote…and even if I were to go mad and give it to you, you wouldn’t be able to administer it. It only can work by using two thing you sadly weren’t born with- compassion and a heart! You know a HEART, Sesshomarou…that tiny little organ in your body that enables you to actually FEEL?!” “I DO have a heart, Kikyo, get on with it. As you may or may not have heard, Kikyo, I have adopted a human ward..THAT requires a heart and compassion!!” “You expect me to believe that?! You’ll say anything in order to get the upper hand, won’t you?” “Jaken?” “Yes, mi Lord?” “Go get Rin, bring her here. But keep her a good distance away.” Jaken bowed and bright her back a moment later. “Kikyo, meet Rin.” “My, my, what a charming young lady. What’s she doing around you?” “I told you before Kikyo, she is my ward.” “Ward?!” “Yes. I believe my brother's intended has another word for it. I believe she said I adopted her.” “Adopted? Well, that’s a cute little word. You’ll do anything to make yourself look good, won’t you?” “Don’t talk about Lord Sesshomarou that way!” Rin said. “He DID save me, and I DO live with him! He’s telling the truth!” “I see she learned her manners from you, Sesshomaou.” “You do as he says, you mean Lady, tell us how to cure InuYasha.” “Why?” In answer Sesshomarou tightened his grip around her throat. His fingers started to glow green as Sango took a firm hold on the hirykosu, Miroku held his hand on his beads covering his Wind Tunnel. Kirara had grown full size and was hovering over InuYasha licking his arm. "The cure, KIkiyo, NOW, or face my poison claws!" "One way or another, you'll caus your brother's deathl won't you?" Sesshomarou groled. "I shall crush your neck with my bare hands, Kikyo. Slowly, painfully, so I can hear each bone break...now, the cure!"
What do you think? Keep in mind, this is my very first InuYasha fanfic, so it might be a bit rusty..

For it being your first its not to bad at all, really the only thing I would have done differently is that I dont think Sesshomaru really would have cared what Kikyo thinked of him or not on the weather he has a heart issue, but thats just me, keep up the good work an let us know when its done.
Hey it seems really interesting!! Then my 2 favorite couples are arguing!! I always liked Shesshamaru and Kikio the best!! then I loved a Couple of members from The Band of Seven and Kogra!!
