Summary: Sesshoumaru reflects on his rebellions.
Sesshoumaru had always been a rebel. He had his own path to follow. The Path of Supreme Conquest. In his youth he had left all that he had been given behind to build his own empire. But rebellion always has consequences. He had rejected his father in his hour of need and his father had died. Since he had not built the Western Shiro he would not live there. As a result he was a homeless wanderer. His father had led the armies of the West as Inu-no-Taisho. Sesshoumaru had rebelled against the empire his father had built and the alliances he had forged He did not need anyone else to fight with him against his enemies. His own power was sufficient.. As a result, his army consisted of a little girl, an imp, a boy taijiya and a small horse dragon. He had rebelled against his father's division of the swords and Tessaiga had taken his arm. He had rejected any duty to take care of his half-brother and had earned his eternal enmity.
Tenseiga pulsed at him. The sword was one master whom he had never able to resist its call. Despite all his attempts to reject the sword as useless, it was still with him,. saving his life and the lives of others on occasion. As he gazed at Rin sleeping peacefully on his mokomoko-sama he realized that sometimes obedience brought richer rewards rather than rebellion.
