A/N I'm so sorry it took so long but apparently it's going to take me longer than I thought to get myself out of the pile I'm buried under. I hope that this chapter makes it up for the wait.

Attention
There are those who scream for just a glimpse of attention…then there are those who whisper and the whole world hushes to listen.
Sesshoumaru was not one of those beings that you could simply ignore. The instant he walked into a room, everything hushed and all eyes would turn to him. His aura was unmistakable and his power could be felt miles away, if he wanted it too. The silver hair and reputation did not help.
From when he was young, he had been trained to be intimidating, to be seen as a powerful being that could not be stopped. His father taught him how to get attention, to have command and to not be ignored. His mother taught him the opposite. She made sure he knew how to hide if needed, how to conceal his aura, his power, anything that could give him away in a sneak attack.
Training to be noticeable and invisible as needed was something his parents had drilled into his head. "Always being known and seen is never a good thing Young Master," the Inu no Taishou's top advisor had once said, after the demise of the great Lord. "Sometimes it's better to never be seen. It's much easier to get what you want that way."
Sesshoumaru was a person that could whisper and have everyone listen and he could be a person that would never be heard if he didn't want to be.
