A Cold Winter Day
Chapter Two: Remembrance
Sesshomaru sat in the front seat of his father's Ferrari, his eyes closed. They were apparently driving to the psychologist his father had arranged for him to have at the hospital a week ago. Hadn't he learned any thing from the other six?
"I will not tolerate any foolishness this time, Sesshomaru."
"Foolishness? Whatever are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about.
"No I don't. Unless I'm mistaken, my large range of youkai powers does not include mind reading."
"Where did I go wrong with you?" Inu-Taisho asked aloud.
"When you married that ningen bitch…when you got her pregnant…need I go on?"
"I've told you to quit calling her that!"
"I'm only stating the obvious."
"Forget it. Arguing with you gets me nowhere."
"Finally. You've figured it out."
Sango and Kagome sat on the couch drinking tea while Keiko sat in her office.
"Isn't he supposed to come over here today?"
"Who?"
"Don't play stupid. The guy you saved!"
"Oh…yeah."
"You wouldn't think a rich guy like him would need a psychiatrist."
"No, its mainly the rich types that need them the most."
"I know this is mean to say, but I'm dying to know why he would jump off a building! I mean he's filthy freaking rich!"
"Sango, money doesn't amount to happiness…always"
Sango laughed.
ding-dong
"Got it!" Kagome jumped up.
"No. I'll get it, Kagome" Keiko said. "You and Sango to the mall; I need to be alone with the patient."
"Okay, mom."
"No, wait!" Sango said. "I want to…" But she was cut off when Kagome dragged her out of the door.
"Bye, mom!"
Sesshomaru sat in the living room of Kagome's house while the "good doctor" and his father discussed his state of mind. He sat there for about twenty minutes before Inu-Taisho came out.
"I'll be by to pick you up at two, alright?"
"Whatever."
"Come in, please. And if you would be so kind as to sit there."
He sat down in a big cushy armchair adjacent to her desk.
"I apologize for not having one of the regular chairs."
"It's okay. I never really liked those anyway."
What?! I didn't just say that, right?
"And where do you go to school, Mr. Taisho?"
"You can call me Sesshomaru, and Tokyo Prep."
What the Hell?! Why isn't my guard up…she isn't like the rest…her presence is comforting! Why?!
"Wow, a very prestigious school."
"Yeah."
Why?
"Now, why do you think your dad would think you need a psychologist? "
Her scent.
"Because I jumped off a building."
It smells like that girl…the one who saved me…sakura blossoms and lavender.
"Why did you do that?"
"I wanted to end my life."
"Why? Wouldn't that make your mother sad?"
"I have no mother. She died when I was small."
"How?"
Sesshomaru looked away. "I don't remember."
"Try."
"She…was…killed."
Yay! This chappie was REALLY hard to write. But thanks to cookiemonsterks, I did it! dances I did it, I did it , I did it yeah! I DID IT! ahem sorry…Dora the Explorer tends to go to your head. Reviews are what keep my brain going…so review. Oh and Inuyasha and none of its characters belong to me.
