"Son," Touga said, walking beside his son who is watching the army train beneath them.

"Father," Sesshomaru said, acknowledging his father.

Touga knows that Sesshomaru hates him. His elder son despises his human mate, and half-breed son.

Touga sighed. "Kagome is just a young child who suffered more than anybody else should've suffered. She carries a large burden on her fragile shoulders. I don't want you increasing the pain in her heart, Sesshomaru. She-"

"Do not meddle in my affairs, father," Sesshomaru said in a cold voice. "I claimed her. She is mine. What I do or say to her is none of your concern."

"Son, you-" Touga started but stopped. He sighed. "Very well. If you do not wish to listen to me then don't. But, I don't think she will let you use her for your own benifit. After all, she is a strong girl. I don't think that you could break her that easily," touga said with a smirk on his face.


"This is a beautiful kimono! Don't you think?" Rin said. "It suits you so well! Oh, and the color blue makes your eyes stand out. You are so beautiful, Kagome-chan!" Rin chattered cheerfully, even if Kagome remained silent.

"Oh, wow! Your bruises are healing fast. Look at your face, it's almost gone. How did you do that?!" Rin excitedly asked. "It took my wounds a long time to heal and-Oh my! We are going to be late for dinner!" Rin exclaimed.

She took Kagome's hands and led her out of the room. Kagome sighed. "Where are we going?" She asked.

"Dinner, Sesshomaru-sama told me to take you to the dining room right after cleaning and dressing you," rin replied.

They reached the big oak doors. It opened and they entered the room. Rin said something to her but she couldn't hear it because she is busy staring at Sesshomaru's golden eyes.

Those eyes. She thought. I've seen those eyes before. I've seen them that night. That night when my mother died.

Suddenly, pain griped her already battered heart. She chokes, she can't breathe- the pain, make it stop. She thought.

He killed my mother.

Grief suffocates her. She couldn't take it anymore. So, she run.
