"That was the last time I saw my mother show any emotion" he said softly looking over the garden.

"I began to see her less and less. My father tried to make amends but that only angered her knowing his heart was no longer in her reach" his voice turned cold and his eyes hard as he remembered what happened next.

"A year later he announced not only will his whore reside in the castle but they also had a pup on the way"

The entire time, Kagome had to fight back her tears.

This explained so much about Sesshomaru.

His animosity towards humans.

Hate towards Inuyasha.

The way he always remained cold and distant.

Now she understood, at least a little bit better.

He was broken.

Because of the past, his heart grew cold and left nothing but a void.

He has never loved nor wanted to be loved thinking it would be a disastrous outcome.

"That was the final straw. . .my mother snapped. . . .She moved out of the castle and back to her own. . . she locked herself away in her studies as she began to plot. She found out about a young prince Takumaru whom wanted the princesses hand in marriage but was disgusted when he found out about her demon lover. My mother hunted him down and made him a deal. She provided him with the soldiers and weapons needed to kill Izazyio and her pup should they run into any inconveniences along the way. Her plan would have succeeded, but she did not plan for my father to run towards her aid."

He said as he unconsciously held her closer.

"My father was a man who craved the thrill and adrenaline that came with war. Never has he left in the mist of battle, but when he found out what was really going on he ran. He ran to his damnable concubine and bastard pup just in time to save them thus running towards his own downfall. Takumaru was so enrage by the scene before him, his emotions took over. He burned Izazyios' castle to the ground with them in it but father managed to save the two, but he was already to weak to save himself so left this world with a smile knowing that his family was safe" Saying the last part with venom.

He hated his father for protecting and dying for them.

He died for that human but left his mother to rot in her own despair.

He cried tears of joy knowing that the half-breed lived but criticized him on his qualities and skills of becoming the next lord.

To Sesshomaru, his father was a disgrace.

He abandoned his mate and pup.

He left a battle of his kingdom for a whore and died by the hands of some mere human.

He hated that his father died.

Because he wanted to be the one that killed him.

He was a little surprised when Kagome turned in his arms and launchd her arms around his neck sobbing quietly.

"Kagome..."

But she continued to cry.

She wasnt crying for his parents.

She wasnt crying because she felt pity.

No.

She was crying for him.

For years spent alone.

For tha pain he carried around for so long.

Her tears were for him.

They sat there quietly in each others arms under the Sakura tree.
