The Woman
Sesshomaru sat alone at the table doing his studies.He had been working for hours.
His father had left monthes ago.He was bored and tired of being alone.His annoying retainer was
his only company.
'Then again,when have I ever not been alone since Mother died,'Sesshomaru thought. He looked up from his arithmetic as Suzaki, a teenaged inu youkai, entered the room.She was a timid servent and stuttered as she spoke in her soft voice.That was when she did speak,which was rarely.
"Sesshomaru-sama,your father has returned and wishes to see you"Suzaki said walking to his left side.
"Suzaki, I do not enjoy your quietness," he said.Suzaki's eyes widened.She did not see it her best interest to displeasure the taiyoukai.She would willingly go to his bed if he was to ask it of her.
"If my lack of speach in your presense displeases you than I will correct my problem" she said lowering her eyes even more.
"Do not mind it,it does not displease me," Sesshomaru replied taking his leave.What he saw when he came into his father's presence froze him in place.His father held a ningen woman close to his side.It was not unlike how he once held Kama,Sesshomaru's mother.Sesshomaru looked her up and down.She was with pup! Sesshomaru quickly noticed.
"Oh,Sesshomaru,you have finally arrived," Touga said to the quivering adolesent.
"Who the hell is she?"Sesshomaru asked in a voice that spoke murder as it trembled from his
lips.Though Sesshomaru had the appearence of a fifteen year old human,but his age had to be ten
or twenty times this mortals age.From her scent he could determine she was another mate of his
father's.A replacement of his mother.His father dared!How could he?!
Sesshomaru did something very uncharacteristic.He cried.Not tears of joy or sadness,
but of pure anger.He ran at his realization.
He cried for several hours.He couldn't believe his father had done this despicable deed.His mother would feel the betrayal in her place of finality.Did his father forget that his mother was eternally bonded to him until they both were cold in thier graves.
"Sesshomaru," came the calm,stern voice of his father.
"Go away,father," Sesshomaru demanded.
"Sesshomaru, I wish you to come and apologize to Izayoi," Touga said calmly.
"I will not apologize to your ningen whore,"Sesshomaru bit out coldly.
"Izayoi is no whore,Sesshomaru" Touga said just as frigidly .
"Go ahead,protect your lover.Father,you betrayed her,you betrayed Mother!"Sesshomaru raged.
A few hours later after touga left
"Sesshomaru," a sweet motherly voice called.Izayoi had found his chambers.
"Go away,you brothel-raised bitch,"Sesshomaru said from his room.
The pup's insults did not deter the impregnated hime.She walked into his room.
"I know you hate me,but could you please give me the faintest hope,"Izayoi begged the youth.
"You replaced my mother, and for that I can not forgive you,"Sesshomaru said icily.
She suddenly took his hand and placed on her stomach.Sesshomaru felt a lively kick from the six month fetus.Hanyou,he must never forget that was what the child was.It wildly kicked in a desperate attempt to get closer to its elder brother.It wanted to know him.Just to be near its sibling was enough to make it overjoyed.It did not know its brother only returned feelings of hatred.
"Please, don't force me to want your child to survive.I can't do that.I must not betray my mother"
Sesshomaru pleaded.
