Part 8
'Humans are not to be trusted. All they care for is power and money. That of course comes after sex and drugs. If something scares them or is unfamiliar with them, there is only one course of action they take, and that is the path of destruction.' That is taught to all youkai children and it seemed almost true in Sesshoumaru's case. They tried to destroy Sesshoumaru, but they could not succeed. Sesshoumaru developed a thin layer of ice over his heart, yet this was only the foundation, as eventually many layers would grow on top of that over time.
He was still a child, even though he had been forced to mature, his heart still desired to play and be ridiculous. Whenever he tried to interact with the children, parents yelled at him like a stray, disease carrying dog while ushering their children away from him. Adults gave him the cold shoulder after they became with the game they created by throwing stones at him. He couldn't understand it, he hadn't even talked to them! But it didn't bother him much. The fact that his father didn't even care about his problems but instead laughed at him saying 'he should be stronger', did bother him. However, he kept to himself and often took walks in the forest. At night he would star gaze or talk to the other lords, creeping out of the hut he was forced to stay in. Nothing much was going on at home. Kohano had given Sesshoumaru his mirror, so the young lord was forced to talk to the other three to find out news about his own land. There was small talk about a revolution in the Southern Lands but when wasn't there talk of war?
This was the routine that happened daily peculiar happened.
Sesshoumaru was outside getting ready for a hunting trip to relieve him of his anger, when his father came rushing out. "Sesshoumaru," he gasped out, "haven't seen you around much."
"Well you wouldn't since I've been ignoring you."
"Now, now son, I know why you're upset and I understand. I felt you for three years right after your mother's death, then dragged you here, but everything will turn out find and….Sesshoumaru? SESSHOUMARU!"
Sesshoumaru didn't want to hear any more lies, so he ran. He escaped into the woods to a nice secluded spot he had found the first day he came to the village. It had a small waterfall, no more than three feet tall, dripping into a small pond. Trees were packed tightly around the rocky area but there was one nice grassy patch for one to sit down upon.
"He doesn't understand. I belong back in the Western Lands, in the palace, with the other lords of council. Not here with some women who will more likely than not bear for a son a pitiful hanyou," Sesshoumaru spit out the last word in disgust. "Why can't he see I'm not like him."
Sesshoumaru sat there for over an hour, not really thinking, but just enjoying the peace. "Ssesshoumaru…" He whipped around looking for the owner of the voice. 'Must have just imagined someone called me' he thought shrugging it off. "Ssesshoumaru." He heard the voice again. The voice sounded close yet muffled. Again Sesshoumaru looked around. He then looked down at his small pouch he carried around. Reaching down he pulled out his communication mirror. "Ronan!"
"Ssso you are still there. I was sstarting to think you couldn't sstand your current sssituation and killed yourself," the Northern Lord said with a small smile.
"Ahh don't rule that option out yet," Sesshoumaru said with a sad chuckle. "Running away doesn't work, trust me I've tried. Inutaisho himself comes after me or his mate, apparently some princess, sends demon exterminators after me. I get ganged up on and I cant get rid of all of them at once, at least not yet, I will some day become stronger."
"Well its good to sssee you're ssstill alive. Now I have ssome sshocking news to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Well I'm not ssure how to put it…" Ronan stalled.
"Just tell me will you! I can take it!" Sesshoumaru demanded.
"It's about your mother…sshes not dead."
Ohhh cliffy!!!! How can she not be dead??? We all saw her stabbed to death didn't we? -- never fear be patient and all shall be revealed. If anyone wants to guess, they're welcome to it. If someone does get it right [[I doubt that thought ']] I might have to draw them some fan art… not promising anything though, but still keeping it in mind. Don't forget to tell me if you want the sequel to be Sess/Kag or no. Luv you! V
