Chapter 9: Sesshomaru's Story
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Your aunt?" Jaken asked.
"Yes. My aunt. My mother did die a long time ago," Sesshomaru said. Then he
looked away.
"Sesshomaru, if I may ask, how did your mother die?" Jaken inquired. He then
ducked his head as not to feel the power of Sesshomaru's claws. Sesshomaru then looked
angry.
"Fine, I will tell you," Sesshomaru told Jaken. "But just be glad you are still
alive."
"My mother was a tribes woman in a demon cat village. She was known
throughout the land as the most beautiful and kind of all the cat demons, maybe of all
demons. She would not choose a mate though. She said she would wait until the right
one came.
My father was a demon who took much pride in what women looked like. He was
searching for a beautiful bride, not searching for one with a good personality. So when he
got news of my mother he of course came over to investigate.
Mother was out picking flowers for her sister when she first saw him. He was a
magnificent demon, one of the best looking she had ever seen. She was drawn to him at
first sight, and knew it must be love.
My father had regarded her with a glance, liking what he saw. Her looks were all
he cared about, so he was pleased. My poor mother didn't know this and thought him
kind after meeting him. Only a week after laying eyes on each other, they were to be
mated.
My mother's first impression of my father left quickly. She was taken to his castle
and treated well but never saw him. He wasn't even there when I was born. My
mother's love for my father melted and turned into hate. My father, when he did visit her,
saw what was happening and started searching for a new mate, without my mother
knowing.
I never knew my father that well. All that I knew was what my mother told me.
Tales of hatred and deception. Tales of being left in this castle without any contact with
other demons except servants. I grew to hate my father as much as my mother did.
My father found a human village and decided to look around there. When he did,
he found his next mate. A woman was there, helping a sick villager, concentrating on her
work. She was beautiful, but for once, my father saw that she was also kind. It was his
turn to fall in love.
He and the woman talked a lot and she fell in love with him as well. He was going
to mate with her. The demon law states though, that no demon can have more
than one mate. So my father did something I will never forgive him for. He killed my
mother."
Jaken who hadn't said anything so far gasped. "But, but Sesshomaru, he-"
"I know Jaken. It was cruel. I begged with him, pleaded. But he had no care about
my mother. He killed her for a human. A human. I never could forgive him afterwards.
Inuyasha was soon born. I hated him immediately. It was partly his fault my
mother was dead. I grew to resent my family and went in search of my mother's relatives.
Her sister, my aunt, agreed to take me in. She practically raised me. And now she's
dead."
Jaken swore he saw a bit of sadness in Sesshomaru's eyes. Something he had
never seen before. "Inuyasha's wench will pay," Sesshomaru stated. And he went off
with Jaken running hurriedly behind him.
