Sesshoumaru's Confessions

Even though we get into fist fights sometimes.

Even though we get into arguments sometimes.

Even though we try to kill each other from time to time.

Even though we call each other mean names from time to time.

It doesn't mean we don't love each other.

We have the same father.

I have a demon mother.

Where as you have a human mother.

Father was the Lord of the Western Lands.

He was a wonderful man and father.

He was an excellent general.

He was incredibly strong.

I may have inherited the title Lord of the Western Lands, the fang of heaven, Tenseiga,

and our father's castle.

You have inherited the fang of Earth, Tetsusaiga, and our father's good looks along with

your human mother's heart.

You also inherited father's love for humans where I did not.

At least not until I met my orphaned daughter Rin.

She was the first human I saved with Tenseiga.

She has made a smile that is barely on my face appear.

She is my pup, my daughter, my charge, and my pack.

You two have an orphan as your child.

You and that young Miko have adopted an orphan Kitsune youkai as your son.

But there is one other thing I got from father that you didn't.

I got father's crescent moon but when I am gone you will have it.

We may not remember father but he will always protect us even though he isn't here as

long as we have his fangs.

You will love as your mother did, as Kagome has taught you to.

You'll fight and guard your pack as father did.

I see him in you every time I see you fight, be it with his fang or by your own claws.

You look more like him than I do; I carry my mother's features while you carry our

father's.

Others took you being a hanyou as an insult.

And would gladly have tried to kill you.

But to me you were and have always been my little brother.

Hanyou or not I never cared.

Tetsusaiga was yours, I just wanted you to wield it as well and as proudly as our father

did when he was alive.

I never wanted you to survive.

I wanted you to live and live proudly.

I wanted you to hold your head high and walk proudly.

I hated seeing you crouch and dart away like a frightened animal.

But the years of loneliness and the isolation that comes with being hunted down.

And never fully accepted had made you bitter and suspicious.

I didn't know how to reach you anymore, I didn't know how to talk to you anymore, I

didn't know you anymore.

So I did what I could.

I only hope it will be enough to keep you safe.

I know one thing for sure you're stronger than our father now because of me.

You proved that you were stronger than him when you killed Ryuukoytsusei.

I say your stronger because father died sealing Ryuukoytsusei to that mountain and you

killed him where father could not.

So I did what I could.

I only pray it will be enough to keep you safe.

Please Kami let it be enough to keep Inuyasha safe.
