Kagome shivered with the January chill as she stared out over the frozen Taisho Pond.
" I would have thought we would go to Professor Hitomi's laboratory. I do not understand what we are doing here?"
Sesshoumaru glared at her for daring to interrupt his thoughts. In fact he hated being here. His brother had been dead and buried here. He had confirmed it and felt at peace for the first tune since Inuyasha's birth. To have that peace shattered was disturbing
"He is not here. He is not there. His life ended here. I tried to make sure that he would never be disturbed. Apparently that was too much to hope for."
"I know that you hated him, but to leave him here buried beneath the water, mud and volcanic ash is rather cold hearted."
"On the contrary, I thought this place was a fitting tomb for my brother. People have told that it is one of the most beautiful places in Japan. I bought the land and gave it to the government for use as a national park so that he would never be disturbed. They even named it after me : Taisho Pond. I could have just left it to the developers."
" So why did we come here?"
"I wanted to confirm that he was not here."
"And?"
"He is not."
"What now?"
"To Professor Hitomi's Laboratory, of course."
Kagome sighed " Did he ever mention me?"
Sesshoumaru grimaced. " You or your absence were a sore subject. Your name angered him. He stayed near the well until all the people he knew or cared about were dead. Last I heard he was in the Japanese Alps trying to forget."
"Forget?"
"Forget you."
