Homecoming
When the chauffeur opened the door of the family's luxury SUV (one of the many parked in the basement,) heavy rainclouds had gathered in the sky, and the sound of thunder rumbled ominously in the gloomy darkness. Just like a scene from a generic horror movie, his young master emerged brooding like a vampire rejected by his lover.
He was about to ask the young man when Sesshomaru waved a hand to him in dismissal.
"Young master-" he continued anyway, the raindrops starting to fall.
Sesshomaru's mind was elsewhere.
His... new daughter... had sneaked in a scribbled address into his pocket, and he realized in the car that it was Kagome's.
She had been living in the same (elite) neighborhood as his.
"Wait." Jaken called out, the tone of his voice making the usually self-determining individual halt obediently. "He is waiting for you in the library."
Sesshomaru considered. "Thank you." he disappeared into the double arch doors. Jaken nodded, admiring his young master's perfect manners. Sesshomaru had been too preoccupied and absorbed in his newly developed paranoid thoughts when he realized he had already reached his destination, the library.
He opened the doors only to be met by an eerie darkness.
Sesshomaru had to squint to notice the faint outline of someone sitting on the recliner by the arch windows. Said person was leisurely stroking what looked like a huge cat (or a medium-sized puppy?) on his lap.
"It has been a while..."
A surge of lighting pierced the sky, flooding the room with a quick flow of light. They were swallowed by darkness again. The deep rumble of thunder echoed through the solemn quiet.
"Sesshomaru."
The young man's beautiful golden eyes narrowed. He knew that voice. With the confidence of a young heir he straightened his shoulders. "Why did you call me here..." Sesshomaru stepped forward.
"Father?"
