Chapter 13
Broken Vows
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sango walked into Sesshoumaru's room, confused. 'Normally he would just shut the
door in my face, why is he being . . . nice?' She thought. Once she was in his room he shut the
door, making sure Inuyasha wouldn't hear their conversation. 'Did he even tell Inuyasha what he
is about to tell me? But he doesn't have his emotionless mask up, why is he acting like this?' She
looked at him and saw that he had a look of sadness. He motioned for her to sit down as he sat
down as well.
"I broke my promise." He mumbled, his eyes were glazed over and he seemed to be looking past
her
"What?" Sango asked
"I was two years old when she got sick, I thought it was just a little cold and that she would get
better soon. But the doctors kept saying that she probably wouldn't live for more then a year. My
mother had gotten so sick that she couldn't get out of bed." He paused for a moment,
remembering the pain he went through when he was little. "My father didn't even care. He went
about his normal business, sometimes even forgetting about my mother. I was the one who cared
for her, even the doctors wouldn't let her in the hospital. One morning, three weeks after I turned
three, my mother died. I went into her room and tried to get her up, but she wouldn't wake up. I
locked myself in my room for two days, doing nothing except looking at the wall. I vowed that I
would never love again because of the pain I felt. A month later my father re married to
Inuyasha's mother. I hated her, and that whelp I now call my brother." His eyes, still glazed, now
held hatred in them. "I hated the one I used to call father, and I hate them all. It was only five months
after they married that Inuyasha was born." His eyes returned to normal and he looked away from
her.
"I broke my promise." He stated again, more to himself then to her. Sango felt sad for him,
somehow she wanted to help but didn't know who, 'that is why he hates Inuyasha. It's because of
what his dad did to him.' Sango remembered what it was like to lose someone, but she didn't
shut people out of her heart. Both of them sat there, in silence, for a minute.
"I'm sorry for your loss. I know what it feels like, but you don't have to shut people out of you
heart." She said quietly. He didn't answer her right away.
"How do you know what if feels like?" Sesshoumaru's voice held anger in it. "You have a
pampered life, your family didn't abandon you!" his anger was quickly rising.
"Sesshoumaru, I also lost my mother, but no, I don't understand how it feels when your family
abandons you." Sango's head was bent down and she was looking at her lap. Sesshoumaru
looked back at her. He never knew that she lost her mother.
"Why did you stop loving people?" She asked him. Sesshoumaru hesitated, 'why am I telling her
these things?' he debated whether to tell her or not. He decided to tell her
"I didn't want to go through the pain again" he said in a harsh way, harsher than he wanted it to
sound. Sango felt so bad for him, but she didn't know what to do.
"What do you mean you 'didn't'? Why did you use a past tense for it?" she looked at him in a
dumbfounded way.
"I thought you still don't want to love any one." She said, even more confused then before.
"I put in a past tense because it is in the past for me." He looked away from her gaze, trying to
find away out of the situation she put him in, he silently kept cursing himself for telling her this.
'If Sango didn't know than this would have never happened.' He paused for a moment, that was
the first time he ever used her name, normally he would use 'bitch' but this was different. He
looked up at her, 'she lost someone she loved too. But she seems to always be happy.
"Sesshoumaru what do you mean it is in the past for you? Who do you love?" she asked, trying,
for once, to get a straight answer out of him. He paused for a long time, not saying anything.
"You." Sesshoumaru finally spoke but it was barely a whisper. But Sango heard it loud and clear,
and she was stunned.
