Chapter 2: A little advice

The winter night continues to last for another couple of hours as Inuyasha continued to listen to the lullaby from the music box. Wondering if his own mother knew about this music box but suddenly forgotten about it. There was so much Inuyasha wanted to know about his own mother but yet he couldn't during his childhood. Since believing that would be selfish of him wondering about his father, why did Sesshomaru hate him so much? Why does this music box sing his mother's lullaby? So many questions were filling inside his head. Though...probably none of his questions will be answer?

The hanyou didn't mind but didn't hurt to know the truth about his childhood. During his times with Sesshomaru weren't bad at all until the Inu youkai abandoned him in the human village without bothering to come back for him. That betrayal hurt him way more than after his own mother's death...why did things happen to him?

Tears were threatening to leave his eyes but Inuyasha wipes them away before realizing daytime has finally arrived. Inuyasha didn't mind the sunrise since it always reminds him of his mother's beautiful smile. The one part of her that always stay inside his heart.

Slowly putting the music box inside his kimono to make sure that it doesn't fall out his kimono. Hopefully this winter day, which happens to be his birthday. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly for himself and his wife.

Meanwhile in the forest

Layla and Sesshomaru walked in silence but not in the awkward silence but more comfortable and understanding. The younger sister stays quiet for Sesshomaru to keep in thought to himself, wondering what he would say to Inuyasha. With so many secrets that were kept shut will suddenly be unleashed. As the sun begins rising on the horizon leaving only to revealing a few sunlights.

"Nervous?" Layla asks

"Very, what would Inuyasha say after I told him everything" Sesshomaru replies

"I'm sure, he'll understand"

"I hope so"

The silent appears once more as the siblings continue their walk to their final destination. Inuyasha, I'm so sorry for not being honest with you, Sesshomaru thought to himself.

An hour later

Finally, they arrive at their destination which sparks joy in Layla's eyes who began racing down the small hill. The young lord began to chuckle lightly as he watches his younger sister jumping onto the young hanyou. The sight of seeing his younger siblings reunited after being separated for some time. Layla and Inuyasha began to wrestle playfully which was fill with full of laughter. Though Sesshomaru wasn't the only one watching the twin wrestle in the old snow.

An elderly priestess stood by Sesshomaru side sharing the same smile that lingers on the young lord face. Lady Kaede didn't need to know about this situation as she understood it perfectly. She knew that the Inu youkai wasn't all cold hearted as Inuyasha image him to be. There was a reason why, and Kaede knew that reason perfectly.

"Inuyasha must learn the truth soon, young demon" She spoke

"I know, but...the fear of the truth...still hide within me" Sesshomaru reply

He would be lying if the young lord wasn't scared about revealing all the secrets he kept. Suddenly feeling a soft hand onto his shoulder as it was patted lightly.

"I understand the fear, Sesshomaru but we all have to face fear or we're unable to move on from the past itself"

That Lady Kaede for you, always knowing when to give advice at the perfect moment. A soft smile appears on his cheek as the young priestess enters inside the hut to let the siblings be at the moment.

Arigato, Kaede-sama, Sesshomaru thought quietly
