Prologue:
The air was filled with an eerie silence as the sakura tree's leaves and flowers blew gently in the wind, the moon was full and the sky was cloudless as the stars twinkled dimly for the moon's light was over powering them. The young dog demon looked up into the sky with an emotionless stare, his face may not have shown his true emotions but his eyes faintly did but only if you were watching carefully. He was thinking about his past before he lost everything but then again gained everything. He snorted in anger, he didn't want it but someone had to do it he guessed. He inwardly sighed as he felt the emptiness began to grow more in his being. He remembered the days that were passed so long ago and wished that they could be here again. He started to think of the time that his mother became deathly ill and then not too long after that died from that illness. He remembered at her death bed he was summoned to her and she spoke so softly and tiredly which made his heart ache with sorrow. He remembered what she had said to him before she had died right there before him…
'Sesshoumaru, my dearest son… oh how I love you so. Please do not weep or feel sorrow for what my fate has brought to me, I have something to tell you my son and listen very closely.' she said in a tired whisper.
'Yes mother, what is it?' his younger self had said.
'There will be a time when your father takes another, please do not hate him for what he decides. You must watch closely for there will be another life you have to protect and teach, do not hate him for he will need you.' she had replied softly.
He had looked at her in confusion but nodded his head in a promise, she smiled weakly.
'Good… there is more. With this male there will be another. A female, she will need you too. There are secrets about her that no one will know not even she…' she coughed then continued, 'she is strong but yet so naïve. She is important for you to protect, when her darkest hour comes upon her only you can help her and she will need you to be there for her. She is a pure one that must survive for the sake of human and demon kind alike. She is the key for everything's and everyone's survival, protect her and cherish her. She will be important to you too. Do not let her die and do not shun her for when you think all is lost she will pull through. There is an evil that will spread over the land turning it to nothing but destruction and despair she is the key, remember this my dearest son… that only you can bring the light into her darkness… promise my son, promise me that you will do this and not fail?'
He nodded his head in agreement as his eyes became misted with tears that would not shed. 'Yes mother I promise… no swear that I will fulfill your dying wish!' he said in a agonized whisper.
'Thank you my son… remember that I love you…' she said before she took her last breath as her soul slipped away to freedom.
From that moment he studied and conquered, but soon everything in his life went to hell. Which resulted in him forgetting the promise in which he made to his mother all those years ago. Until quite recently. He smirked at the irony, for his mother was widely know for her psychic premonitions. He knew now what his mother was telling him and once that was remembered he change all because of a little girl that he now is in charge of, because of her he had remembered and for that he thought it through every last detail of his life that everything has happened. He now knows what is important and now know what need to be done. But he wonders if he can actually do it because of how much he had changed since that day that she had died…
In a beautiful garden a demon woman looked into the fountain mirror with a smile, it worried her if he would ever remember that promise and now she knew everything would be ok. She missed him but she knew that it was for the best.
"Be strong my son for you will have a happy ever after. My dearest… Sesshoumaru." she said with a smile of joy.
