Prologue: The Beginning
Under the light of the full moon, a child was born. A small boy with silver hair. His hair was fairly short, but was long enough to touch his closed eyes. The boy did not cry. He didn't make any sound. He simply slept, as silent as the night itself. His mother held him, wrapped in white cloth, as she spoke. Though she appeared to hold him gently, he could feel the tightness in her grip.
"What will you name him?" She asked, her voice deceivingly sweet as she mentioned their child.
Silence answered her. With his eyes closed, he saw nothing. And yet, at the same time, he saw everything.
"Sesshomaru."
A new voice had spoken, breaking the silence. His father watched him, his eyes dull and tired. He'd just come back, and already he had to leave again. He said a short farewell to his wife and, with one final glance at their son, swiftly left, returning to the war many miles away. Once she was sure he was gone, the queen dropped her gentle facade. She looked down indifferently at the child in her arms and walked over to the very edge of the clan. Her gaze shifted, and she found herself looking down at the clouds far below.
In his eyes, he saw everything.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed, filled to the brim with hate. Without a word, she lifted him up. She knew what she wanted. She knew she would face dire consequences for what she was about to do. But, even despite that, she didn't care. Her husband would likely kill her. She didn't care. He, along with the rest of the world, would thank her later. And, with those thoughts in her mind, she lifted him up, and threw him over the edge.
And nothing at all.
A/N READ! IMPORTANT! First of all, if you're wondering, the clan is basically what I have decided to call that floating castle-home thing where Sesshomaru's mother was shown at in the anime and manga. Second, I have something IMPORTANT to say ABOUT SESSHOMARU. He doesn't have the crescent moon on his forehead and he doesn't have the marks on his wrists, cheeks, or above his eyes. He doesn't carry Tenseiga, Tokijin, or Bakusaiga. I'll explain about that later. He doesn't carry around that fur and he doesn't have the yellow sash. All he has are the kimono, armor, and shoes he wears in the anime and manga. He also has both his arms. Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un don't exist. Lastly, I need to explain something important about the story. It starts off going through his past, and showing all the things that happened to him back then. Those chapters are VERY important to the storyline, and shouldn't be skipped. It will definitely get to what was talked about in the summary, but in order to get there, I need to go through his past first.
