Author note: So, I was originally planning to upload a chapter every week, but then life happened. I promise I will try to upload at least once a month and longer chapters, so please deal with me for a while.
With his attention oscillating between the important decision he was facing, and following up and solving issues regarding his lands and allies, Sesshoumaru kept his mind busy for longer than he should have, staying almost two days in his study, only getting out for what was necessary such as sleeping or taking a bath. This, of course, caused rumors to start among the servants, who wondered what could be keeping their lord so busy and if it was related to the message he had received and gotten him so mad as to cut Sokitsu's arm off.
Two days the young lord of the West pondered wether or not he should interfere with the little hanyou's luck. He was perfectly aware that he was his older brother, and that, in consequence, he had a responsibility as the eldest, however Sesshoumaru didn't know a thing about raising pups, much less hanyou ones, and he had little interest in even trying.
He didn't even know how he looked like, and he had barely made out his scent n between that of humans, smoke and food that lingered in the mansion in which Inuyasha and his mother had been taken in.
At first, he decided it wasn't his problem, but in those two days he didn't stop thinking about it, until, the second day, his sense of duty and compromise to his deceased father won. He would have probably wanted him to take care of his younger brother… also, it was enough trouble that the pup had hybrid blood. There was no way an early death caused by something ridiculous like starvation or lowly beings added to this. With this in mind was how, finally, the young lord of the West went to look for the boy.
