Chapter 2 Sins of the Father

InuYasha couldn't believe he had the one woman that he loved the most and had hurt the most (or so he thought) underneath the same roof with him. He was determined as he laid upon his bed and looking to the ceiling that he would make amends with her and hopefully they could be what they once were. With his strong resolution he got out of bed and ran to the door. As he got closer to her room he heard her mumbling in her sleep. 'Keh! She must be having a bad dream..' As he got closer he could smell salt. 'Is she crying?' He turned the knob and went in to see that she was sleep and she indeed had tears in her eyes yet she still slept. She turned her head and whispered a name he never wanted to hear from the woman that he loved with a passion as intense as a bonfire.

That name…the one she uttered with even more tears falling from her face was InuTaisho. 'How the hell do she know his father? What in the seven hells did she say his name for!' With all of the rage in him he glared at her but the rage didn't stay for long because as he looked at her more he saw that she started crying more. His anger melted with each tear that she shed and he turned around and walked out of the room. He would ask her but right now he had to do some research. Maybe one of her ancestors were done wrong by his old man. He would find out.

He closed the door with a silent click and made his way to his fathers study. The place was untouched since the man had left. Only servants and Sesshomaru would come in here on occasions and he, InuYasha, would come in here to remember the times that he shared with his father since this was one of the last places that his father's scent still lingered.

Making his way to the bookcase he looked over some of the books placed there. Finding the one he wanted he pull it so that it would give way to the secret room in which his father kept all of the really private material surrounding his family and their secrets. Going in only made him relish about the old times. 400 years ago to him seemed a millennium to others but him being his age didn't seem to faze him.

He searched over bookcases and shelves that held scrolls and leather backed books until he saw something glint in his eye. As he turned to look he noticed that their was a spell cast over a certain part of the room to keep it's inhabitants from knowing what was behind it. As he got closer the spell seemed to diminish and warily he reached for the book to realize that it was his father's journal. He sat at a chair and started to read….

Sesshomaru was in his room sitting at his desk with his laptop in front of him and his phone to his ear. Business called him at all times of day and he told his assistant Jaken to hold all of his calls that were unimportant to him. Better known as all of his 'floozies' who thought that since he would give them a little bit of his action that they could be the next Mrs. Taisho and run his household. He listened to the annoying wolf demon on the other line talking nonsense about how he knew all about the business that his father once ran. 'I doubt this little piece of crap knows anything about business.' Koga of the corporation Eastern Tech. couldn't determine a penny from a quarter and if it wasn't for him then their business would have been bought out a long time ago.

After a few words of details about an upcoming meeting he hung up and looked at his Rolex to see the time. "Shit!" He got up out of the bed and ran to the front door after grabbing his keys and his coat to retrieve his daughter.

Rin was outside waiting for her father when she saw him pull up. He was 25 minutes late but that was expected. 'At least he came 2 hours and 15 minutes earlier than last time.' She felt bad for her father. He was single and as far as she could tell he was miserable. Sometimes she thought of her mother but seeing as she was still an infant who had only stayed with her mother for at least a month to feed only remembered that her mother had a sweet scent.

Once he pulled up she got into the car and he drove off. Sesshomaru looked in his rearview mirror at his daughter who had her head down a little daisy tucked behind her ear. Flowers were common seen with his daughter. He felt bad for how he always let business run his life and his daughter was always forgotten. He would change that. 'Maybe I can hire someone to take her and pick her up from school and then once she returns home I would have completed most of my work and we could spend time together. Yes, that's a good plan.' He felt proud of himself.

"Father…" Sesshomaru stopped at a red light and turned his head to see his daughter who was looking out the window. "do…do you remember mother?"

Sesshomaru had been asked this question on numerous occasions. When his daughter felt lonely, when she saw her friends interact with their mothers, it all brought the memory to her that she didn't have one of her own. He sighed then he turned back around to see if the light was green which it was so he kept driving. "Rin…we have went over this before. I can't remember your mother but believe me when I say that she loves you and she will one day return to you." as he finished his sentence her was turning onto the solitary road that led to his home surrounded by acres of forest.

"Rin knows daddy. It's just…Rin wants to know why didn't daddy mate with mommy so that she could always be with us." With that everything in the car was silent. Sesshomaru didn't know why he didn't mate the woman. He always had that thought in mind whenever Rin would ask questions like that. And to tell you the truth he would want to be with the woman but if only he could find her. He employed demons and humans all over the world. He even had connections in the bureau for Human Resources and Missing Persons. Still he had no hints and he was getting frustrated at how elusive this woman was being. When he found her he would make her pay for leaving their daughter without her mother and no reasonable explanation as to the reason she didn't show herself to him. His revenge would be sweet.

Sorry if the chapter seems a little short but I'm doing chapter three and we get insight into the secret by splurging Kagome's dream.
