" Now, tell me, is that any way for you to greet your father?" Sessayami stood in shock. She walked up to him and touched his face. When she seen that he had the same marks as her, she ran off from the house and down to the lake. She sat on the shore, staring into the water. Sesshoumaru walked up behind her and looked into the water over her shoulder.

" No! You cannot be my father! I will not believe this! You are some mere imposter!" She slammed her fists against the muddy shore water and cried. Sesshoumaru kneeled next to her and sighed, placing a hand on her shoulder.

" Sessayami....you must understand that I am your father. Accept the fact that you are the heiress to the Western Lands and the ruler of the Southern. Please Sessayami...." She turned to face him with one of ther brows cocked, still crying.

" How...how am I the ruler of the Southern Lands, when Mai is?" Sesshoumaru looked to the side, then she gasped. " No! You mean to tell me that Mai is my mother!? And you are my father!?" Sesshoumaru nodded, then let her go.

" Yes, my daughter, that is the truth. Jaken made a promise to me that he would never speak of your mother and I as if we were your actuall parents. I told him to hold off with the truth until you were 15. Now that you are, I have spoken the truth to you...." He placed a hand on her back and rubbed it.

Sesshoumaru's look had changed. Instead of the usual white and red outfit with the armor and the yellow and violet scarf, and the big poof on his shoulder, he wore a black and blue outfit, a pair of zori's and his hair was tied back, and much shorter than it origionally was. His face was much more softer, although he had his usual cold stern look, it looked as if he were deep in thought more than he origionally was. Sessayami recognized him when she turned to him and had a flashback.

" Here Sessayami, come to father, little one!"

" Oh Sesshoumaru, you know she wont come to you like that!"

" What? I put her in a cage, she should be able to jump out and reach me!"

" Sesshoumaru, she's crying! She's merely 6 months old!"

"........So?"

" SESSHOUMARU! GET OUR DAUGHTER OUT OF THERE!"

Sessayami begins to cries harder

" Look what you did Mai, she's crying more..."

He gets up and walks up to the cage she was in and picked her up. Immediatly, she stopped crying and blinked, smiling and swatting at his face.

" There there Sessy, your ok now.."

" Sesshy!"

" No sweetie, it's Daddy"

" Sesshy!"

:: angrier:: " Daddy...."

" Sesshy!"

" IT'S DADDY!"

She cries again.

" Sesshoumaru!"

Sessayami looked up at him and hugged him tightly, smiling and crying at the same time. " Sesshy! I remember father, I called you Sesshy and you scolded me!" She hugged him tighter and he rocked her slowly, remembering every single moment.

" Sessayami...now do you understand? I needed to leave you because of things that I needed to deal with on my own. I didnt want any harm brought to you, so I left you until you grew. Now that I see how wonderful you have turned out...I dont think I deserve to be your father....your fine on your own.."
