My father's study secrets
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha's characters, I just borrowed them to make a story.
Note: The characters in this story will be a bit OOC, there will be great changes in the original theme. The most important change is that Inuyasha is a female in disguise, she is using something to conceal her feminine shape and scent. Please, If you don't like it, don't read but don't fire at me.
Summary: Sesshomaru had to visit his father's old study after two hundred years of not visiting it ( after his father's death ) because he was searching for a specific scroll of a certain treaty. By chance, he stumbled with a scroll was lying on the ground, and to quench his curiosity he decided to have a look. When he started to read it, he discovered it was a letter from his father written by Inu no Tashio the day before his death to his only son, Sesshomaru.
Chapter One
The strange scroll
The young lord of the west was sitting on a well- decorated wooden chair in front of him laid on a huge wooden desk a hill of old scrolls, parchments and old maps. The poor inu-youkai imprisoned himself on his study to reread all the old treaties of peace between the western lands and the other countries and revise all its clauses then he had to complete the delayed paperwork that had been accumulated from the period he was pursuing the deceased dark hanyou, Naraku. In two days, there would be a meeting between all the lords of the other countries to revise the items of their treaties and if there was something needed to change, they would change it. And that was the reason, Lord Sesshomaru confined himself on his study to check on the treaties and its items and make notes if he found something needed to be modified.
While he was revising the treaties, he discovered that there was an important scroll that defined the borders between his lands and the eastern lands, was lost. He felt angry, he had no time to scan all the palace for a small piece of paper. So he called his green vassal, Jaken, to ask him about the whereabouts of the scroll because he was the only one who had the permission to enter his study beside himself. He vowed if the green toad hadn't found the scroll, he would make him taste his poisonous whip.
" Jaken, " called the Lord of the West loud enough for his servant to hear him, in no time, he found the door of his study pushed open and the green imp was standing in front of him then he bowed his head in respect and asked with a trembling voice,
" Yes, my Lord, "
" Jaken, one of the most important scrolls is lost, do you have any idea where is it? " asked the taiyoukai with a cold tone that sent shiver down the spine of the poor toad.
" My Lord, there was no one had the permission to enter this study except your highness and me but I swear that I never let any thing get lost from your study, believe me my Lord. " said the frightened green youkai with a pleading tone but this, of course, didn't work with he heartless daiyoukai. He just stared indifferently at the shivering imp and continued asking the imp in monotone,
" then where do you think this scroll might be? "
" May I ask you my lord, for how long time didn't you see it? " asked the green servant hesitantly. The taiyoukai rubbed his chin with his right hand as he was trying to remember then her replied dryly,
" I guess, I have never seen it since my father's unpredictable death, "
" then you may find it in his own study, do you want me to go and search for it there? " suggested the green imp cowardly.
" No, I am going to search for it there myself, " then the lord of the west left his study and walked swiftly towards his father's study, the study he hadn't visited since his father's death, two hundred years ago.
The daiyoukai opened the door carefully and quietly as if he was afraid to disturb someone if he pushed the door with much force. The study was very dark and it was very hard to see any thing even for the sharp eyes of the youkai so he took some few steps gingerly fearing to stumble on anything on the dark room. He approached the window and pulled the thick curtains to allow the natural light of the sun to invade the dark room and lit the place. The first thing, the daiyoukai's eyes rested on it after the lighting of the room was a huge portrait for his father, he felt shiver ran down his spine when his eyes contacted with his father's. He felt his father's massive power was engulfing him as if his father was daring him to approach any further and miss with his stuff.
The most shocking thing for the daiyoukai was his father's stern look he was giving him, he felt as if his father wanted to tell him how disappointed he was with his son's heartless and merciless actions. He fought the urge to talk and argue with the portrait, he wanted to explain himself to his father, he wanted to tell him how he missed him so much. He wanted to shout at him for preferring the filthy hanyou over him for entrusting his precious Testaiga to this brat not to him. He wished he could hug his father and tell him about his achievements and his conquest and successful invades, he felt he needed his father's assurance that he was doing well. The young lord stood staring at the portrait for more few minutes then he forced himself to break the eye contact because he had a certain work to finish so he proceeded walking towards the huge well- decorated desk and started to search for the wanted scroll.
After few seconds, he found the scroll laid under a thick book, he thought that his father was studying the scroll in the few days before his painful death. He lifted the thick book and caught the treaty scroll then he was about to rest the book again on the desk when a piece of paper fell from the book and rested on the ground. Curiously, the taiyoukai bent down and picked the fallen paper, he unfolded it carefully and read the first line of the written text,
To my only precious boy, Sesshomaru
Soon the stoic lord knew that this was a farewell letter from his deceased father so he put the treaty scroll aside and sit on his father's chair opposite his old desk and started to read quietly his father's last words.

A/N: This is my second Inuyasha- Sesshomaru fiction but it is totally different from the previous one. The first one was a reconcilement story between the two Inu- brothers but this story is a bit different. You have to read to knew what I mean, don't forget to review if you like it.
Sorry for the bad grammar and the poor vocabulary because English is not my mother tongue but I am trying to hone all my knowledge of English to write those stories so please no flames.
