I Don't Remember Chapter Two: Father and Sesshomaru enter the picture
The silver haired boy pushed to door open and led Kagome down a hall, and into his kitchen. He told her to sit down before he left momentarily to get something he needed to help clean and wrap her wounded leg.
She pulled a chair away from the kitchen table and sat, taking the time to take in her surroundings. Her arm rested on the cold marble table. The counters were also marble. Above the sink was a big window that overlooked the back yard. Light brown wood cabinets lined the walls and floor. A black refrigerator sat in a corner with a matching oven and microwave against the far wall. On the counter were a toaster, coffee maker, and a spice rack.
The boy came back bearing gauzes and an old shirt. He put the shirt under the sink's running water. "Roll up your pant leg," he ordered quietly. Kagome nodded before doing what she was told without a comment. He used the soaked shirt to clean the blood off of the abused leg before wrapping the gauze around the wound tightly.
Kagome winced visibly, " Ow!! That hurts! Why'd you tie is so tight?!" She growled at him, and then quickly silenced herself at her sudden outburst.
"You have to keep pressure on it or the bleeding won't stop and it won't heal right," he said as he finished tying off the last not. "I'm Inu Yasha by the way."
She looked at his handiwork for a moment before replying, " Kagome. My name's Kagome Higurashi."
Inu Yasha smirked at her. "Nice name," he teased. Kagome huffed at his turned back as he went to find some towels to mop up the blood on the floor.
"Inu Yasha!!!" a masculine voice rang through out the empty house, "I smell blood! What's going on?!"
"Its nothing dad!" Inu Yasha returned.
Just then a tall man entered the kitchen wearing a gray tuxedo with a lose red tie. His hair was light silver, like his son's, tied back in a low ponytail. Ember optics rested on her, filled with surprise and recognition.
"Are you alright?" he asked after noticing her leg, "What happened to you?"
"Sesshomarus damn dog bit her," Inu Yasha answered for her as e reentered the room with an armful of towels.
"Ice? He'd never harm a fly! A cat maybe, but…" his father exclaimed. Kagomes blue eyes widened at his comment.
"Ya, well, it did," Inu Yasha bit out, "Speaking of that selfish bastard, where is he?"
"I believe he took Rin to the park, then the movies. They'll be back in an hour or so," said the elder. Taking a few towels from his son, he knelt down and dried up the red puddle at Kagomes feet. "I'm terribly sorry about this miss. I am definitely going to speak to my son about Ice. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No, thank you. I'm… alright," Kagome said in a rather strained voice.
"You must be our new neighbor that just moved across the street. Glad to meet you. I'm Mr. Taisho," he introduced.
"I'm Kagome," she replied. With the blood all cleaned up, Inu Yasha and Mr. Taisho sat down at the marble table with her. Kagome looked at them, then painfully bent down to retrieve the forgotten skateboard laying against the plywood flooring and stood up. "I need to get going. Thanks for the help."
"Are you sure you're alright?" the eldest asked with concern filled eyes.
"Yeah, I'll be ok," Kagome assured. She winced slightly, clutching her wrapped leg, dropping her board in the process. "Damn," she cursed her feebleness.
"I'm walking you home. I don't need you getting even more hurt or something," Inu Yasha offered, making sure not to make eye contact with either of them. Kagomes eyes widened, showing her fear. Mr. Taisho noticed:
"Is something wrong Miss Kagome?"
"N-No!" she stuttered quickly.
"Then come on! I don't have all day to wait for you!!" Inu Yasha yelled, already at the front door.
After retrieving her skateboard again she said quietly, "Good bye Mr. Taisho. Thank you for your hospitality."
"Its no problem Miss Kagome. Come back anytime you need something," he offered with a warm smile.
"I will Mr. Taisho." She left after that, limping her way to the front door to his awaiting son.
He cleaned the kitchen up a little bit before looking out the window above the sink to see the beautiful colors of the setting sun. It seems that the young Miss Kagome still doesn't remember. I'll have to call her mother later tonight. The front door gently closing brought him out of his thoughts.
Another man, who had a striking resemblance to his father, stepped into the room.
His face cold, stoic as he gazed around the clean kitchen with eyes that rivaled the sun's brightness. The man wore a pair of faded jeans and a white shirt that said:
Don't touch my nuts!!
Next the black words was a squirrel protecting its acorns. In his arms was a sleeping girl around the tender age of three. The girl had on a pretty pink dress that bore a pattern of flowers.
"Ah, Sesshomaru, you're home! How was the movie?" Mr. Taisho asked.
"It was satisfactory. Rin enjoyed it, so I was content for the moment," he explained in that flowing yet emotionless voice of his.
"I see… And the park?" Mr. Taisho continued his questioning in an attempt to keep his son's attention on him instead of the fading scent of Kagome.
His plan wasn't working all that well. Sesshomaru sniffed the air delicately, "Is that blood I smell father? It is familiar…"
"Ice had a little accident earlier," Mr. Taisho calmly explained before he went any further.
Sesshomaru glared at his father. He wasn't stupid. He knew that blood didn't come from his dog, or a family member either for the matter. Then who is it? he wondered to himself.
"Have you given another thought about that Kagura women?" he asked in a desperate attempt to change the subject.
"I have already told you father. I do not wish to commit myself to anyone at the present," Sesshomaru answered, a small spark of sadness in those normally emotionless gold orbs. "Now, if you will excuse me. I must put Rin to sleep." He turned and walked back down the hallway to the end of the stairs by the front door. His father's words stopped him from going any farther.
"Why don't you ever let anyone inside, Sesshomaru?" he demanded harshly.
He sighed and looked at the sleeping girl in his arms. "I do not want anyone else getting hurt by my foolish choices," was his almost inaudible reply.
"What about Rin? Doesn't she need a mother to take care of her?"
"She is doing fine without her mother. Rin has me and for now it is all she requires. So, do not fret over her."
"It isn't her who I worry about! It is you!! You are changing more and more everyday, because she isn't around any more!!!!!" Sesshomaru looked to the ground. He knew he was changing, and it wasn't for the better. "Sesshomaru…." Mr. Taisho said putting a hand on his son's shoulder.
"Do not touch me," he growled low and deadly. With that said, he walked up the stairs, leaving Mr. Taisho to wonder what he should do about him.
Sesshomaru laid Rin in her blanket-covered bed and sat next to her to look around the room. It had a Blues Clues theme. Everything had to do with Blues Clues, from the wallpaper to the mass amounts of toys stuffed inside her toy box. He sighed and looked down at her.
"I can not allow myself to see her again. I hurt her far too much. She deserves a better life," he said to himself, "Do you need a mother Rin?"
Rin turned over in her sleep and mumbled sleepily, "I love you daddy."
"I love you too, Rin," Sesshomaru said. He leaned over her and kissed her forehead. Then, he left the room with one last glance at her he whispered, "Have sweet dreams for me, my daughter."
