Title: Reasons
Summary: Sesshoumaru ponders his father's reasons for giving him Tensaiga rather than Tessaiga.
For a long time he had wondered why his father had given him the Tensaiga rather than Tessaiga. Many sleepless nights he had thought that his father hated him, that his father had betrayed him. He wondered how his father could give that mangy half-breed the great tetusaiga and give him a worthless piece of metal that could only grant life rather than conquer and enslave the free world.
But as he looked down into the soft golden eyes that were peering at him from the crook of a young woman's arm, He knew. He picked up the tiny being in his only arm. He looked deep into its eyes and felt it's tiny velvet-like ears that were sticking on top of its head. And he knew that his father had given him the Tensaiga for that purpose, The purpose of reviving that little girl, The little girl that followed him and grew up by his side. The little girl that always had a smile and would follow his every order even if it required her life, The same little girl that grew to a young woman before his very eyes, The same little girl that he grew to love, The same little girl who loved him back with every fiber of his being, The same little girl who became his mate, the same little girl who gave birth to his son.
He handed the boy back to his mother. He looked at them and knew. He knew that if it weren't for Tensaiga that he wouldn't have either of them. And he knew that his father gave him the sword for a purpose. So he would find love. He sat on the bed in front of his mate and kissed her forehead. The smile he loved so much grew even wider upon her face. He stroked the silver head of his son and finally knew. He knew happiness.
