Truth be Told
Kisho sat cross-legged fuming at his two new bumps on his head courtesy of his mom and dad upon his outburst when they awoke from there shock. Both parents looked at the envelopes that had there names written on it. Upon opening them they each found an object.
Sesshoumaru picked up the cloth which was made of fine silk and examined it carefully. The black fabric, show brilliantly his family's crest of a white dog standing on a full moon, with a red paw print in it. He knew the girl had never seen the crest, considering that it only existed in this castle, and she had never been here before.
----Sesshoumaru's Letter----
Sesshoumaru,
If you are reading this, it means that Kisho has slipped and told you who exactly you are too him. If things happen as I expected he will be unable to return here for I am dead and this time will no longer exist.
I sent our son back in hope that he can get you and myself from that time to join forces to destroy the darkness that will consume the world almost 8 years after we defeat Naraku, but it all began where you are now.
Kisho knows what needs to be done, look to him for help there. Please help him learn to understand his youkai power and heritage. I regret that is the one thing I was never able to teach him to do.
Forgive me for not telling you sooner, Kagome
--------
Sesshoumaru looked up from the letter still not having any of the real questions he needed answered to. He looked from the woman, Kagome, to his son, with bewilderment as he waited for Kagome to finish reading her letter.
Kagome when she opened her letter found a Polaroid of herself, the boy, Kisho, and a grave, which bore the name Inuyasha. Her eyes filed with tears as she looked at it knowing it was herself, but an older self looking back at her from the picture. She read her letter with tears in her eyes.
------Kagome's Letter-----
Kagome,
Umm, it feels strange to write a note to myself. I guess you now know Kisho is your son. Though you most likely don't understand how, and seeing as how he looks, you most likely don't see how he is Sesshoumaru's son either. I can't tell you how it happened, just know it did.
After Naraku was defeated, Inuyasha gave up his life and wished, using the Shikon No Tama, that my unborn child would be a full youkai. So that he would not have to go through the pain, Inuyasha did growing up.
What he didn't know is that the sadness in our hearts surrounding his death and the wish, at that time awoke and gave great power to a shadow demon that feeds off the deep sadness that is in people's hearts. He hunted down every one who was there when the wish was made. So all our friends are now dead, even Sesshoumaru, I am sorry to say.
Now that Kisho is with you it should have awakened there but it will be but considerably weaker in your time than it was in this time.
As much as you might not want to, you and Sesshoumaru will have to join forces to destroy it before it can become like it was in my time. Please don't bring the others in, if they are involved, the great pain that each has felt in their lives will give it great power.
Kaede says Kisho is Inuyasha's reincarnation, because he looks and acts so much like Inuyasha did when he was alive, I don't know if I believe her though. Kisho knows what needs to be done, listen to him. Guide him well into being a man. Remember that people are not always the same as you first think.
Farwell myself from another time.

Kagome placed the letter on the floor and looked again at the picture. She noticed that they were standing by the god tree, and Inuyasha's grave was underneath it. She saw that she wore a long blue shirt, with a white short sleeve top, around her neck was Inuyasha's prayer beads. Kisho was wearing a black haori and hakama with a red sash around his waist, with the Tetsusaiga at his side, he looked like he was maybe five years old at most.
Kagome let the picture fall from her hands as she covered her face and cried. She cried for several minutes with out stopping. Then her cries turned to mere sobs, and then nothing but saddened eyes.
Sesshoumaru and Kisho eyed Kagome while she cried slowly rocking herself as she did. Neither seemed to know what to do to comfort her through her pain. When she finally stopped she pick up the picture and stared at it for a long moment before standing and looking at Kisho, with a mournful look in her eyes.
Sesshoumaru had enough of the long silence in the room and broke it. "What did your blasted letter say woman?"
Kagome looked at the Taiyoukai and picked up the letter from the floor and handed it to him. He sat silently for a minute after reading it.
"It still does not say how this child came to have the Tetsusaiga?" Sesshoumaru said matter of factly to Kagome who was taken back by the question.
"It was…" Kisho looked his father in the eyes unsure if he should continue or not then did, "It was a gift… the last gift from Inuyasha before he died."
"Then why did I not come to retrieve it from you after his passing?" Sesshoumaru wanting to know exactly what happened to cause this probed farther.
"Because you died not long after Inuyasha, fighting the Shadow Youkai by yourself, for your own foolish pride. It is your fault if you hadn't run out and done that then maybe my mother would still be here, and so would you, and I would not have had to be sent back to this place. I hate you for what you did! I hate you for it! It is your fault I never had a father!" he screamed as he ran from the room full of tears and sorrow.
Sesshoumaru stood there unmoving at the child's words towards him. Though he felt like they should not have affected him in the slightest, they did. He felt his heart twist in his chest as the boy yelled at him with a sadness that so deep in his scent. He couldn't explain why he felt it, then, again he had spent nearly a century to turning off his emotions, he could honestly say he hadn't felt anything till Rin came, other than a few emotions.
Sesshoumaru was wakened from his thoughts when Kagome smacked his face, "Why did you have to go and upset him like that? It was bad enough for him to remember that in him being here, the mother he knew was dead then you, OH! Great Sesshoumaru-SAMA! Had to go and bring up more pain full things of the past and hurt him." Kagome shook when anger and tears ran down her face as she reached up to slap him again., but he caught her hand in his and looked down at her.
"I merely asked a question it is not my fault if the boy can't control his feeling or memories." Sesshoumaru again wore a face that did not reveal his true feelings to her. "You and the boy should probably stay here until this is figured out. And no doubt my idiot brother will be here to get you so what are you going to do then?"
Kagome thought a brief moment then knew what she would have to do. "I am going to send him away. He can't be here, none of them can no matter how much I want them to be here they can't."
He nodded to her and made his why towards the door to the meeting hall they were in. When he reached the door he turned towards her, "I shall have you moved to more permeate rooms for your stay here." The without any sign that she heard him, he left.
