AN: I don't leave many notes, but I wanted to think you all for your reviews, there were a few that really made me smile, you know who you are, thank you, you just put fuel to my writing fire!

"You knew my father well" He questioned more than stated, thought it didn't seem like it.

"I would like to think I was his best friend" The tree supplied back.

Sesshomaru's mood did not change, nor did his glare.

"Your father did not speak about her much, however I do know he met her after your mother returned to the house of the moon"

Seeshomaru listened, any info he got he would use, of course he was not going to tell the miko everything.

"I believe she loved him, she once came to me, looking for him"

"When" He asked quickly,

"The very same day, he died"

Sesshomaru's eyes went wide, this was news to him.

"Your father would still be alive I believe, had she been there" The old demon stated seriously.

"She did not know?"

"I believe he kept it from her"

"Why"

"I do not know, to protect her, he told the little flea that he was not long for this world, you father went into battle knowing he would died"

Sesshomaru took a deep breath, this was a lot of unknown info to him.

"Was there nothing in the books about his feelings on the matter?"

"I do don't understand all my fathers thoughts, it was apparent that he cared for the miko"

"Perhaps you should let someone else read the passages"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the tree, the old demon knew Sesshomaru well, and Sesshomaru knew that, so he was not happy at the tree's advice.

"Tell me Sesshomaru, why the sudden interest in, when both are dead"

Sesshomaru debated in his mind before finally touching the jewel "Do you know of the miko Kagome"

"The young girl who follows your half brother?"

"Indeed"

"Yes, a girl from the future, who made a wish, defeating Naraku"

Sesshomaru nodded and lifted the jewel up a bit "She is stuck, in this jewel"

The tree demon was shocked and it was evident on his old face.

"I am seeking to free her"

The old Tree just looked at him.

Sesshomaru dropped the jewel and let it hit his chest, he then turned "You are no help"

"Young Lord!" He called, "Do you know how, she was able to create the jewel"

He turned back "No"

"Perhaps you should ask a miko, one that knows the history behind the jewel"

Instantly, as if a light bulb came on, an expression graced his face and he turned to leave again.

"Who do you seek?" The tree asked, knowing he had just helped him,

"I will seek out my brothers mate" He said as he vanished into the woods.

Many times the tree wished he could move, and now more than ever.

Sesshomaru would first stop by the slayer village, by time he got there and spoke to them, it would be lateafternoon, and while he didn't like hanging around, he would do his best to stay till night fall, so that Kagome could see her friends, plus, he was not really thrilled about having to see his brother, plus he though it best to tell Kagome first.
