Chapter 7

Authors Note: I'm updating, I decided since I'm never going to get my chapters back, I'm just going to more or less continue, it may not be as good as my first copy but there's no point in just leaving it sit there. There will not be a lemon in this chapter. Thanks for your patience.


Sango walked back in to her room, sighing as she folded up the dress and changed into her youkata, it was late now, the sun had set and Sango was ready for a goodnights sleep. 'I'll just go check on Rin and make sure she's okay' Sango thought as she walked from the room, the hallways were dark the only light on was the one small light at the end of the hall.

Sango walked towards the door, pausing as she heard Sesshomaru's voice from within the room as well. 'Don't catch my scent' Sango said pressing herself against the wall, listening to them from within.

"That lady's really nice" Rin said quietly looking up at Sesshomaru, Sango peered into the room as she watched Sesshomaru sit on the edge on her bed, running her hands through her ear, his gaze was soft and he looked so warm with the light of the candles in Rin's rooms, giving it a really homey feeling, Sango felt homesick.

"Are you alright Rin?" Sesshomaru spoke softly his words meaningful, 'He can't know I'm here' Sango thought firmly 'if he did…I'm sure he wouldn't be being so fatherly towards Rin…Maybe Sesshomaru's not so bad after all…' Sango thought as she watched Rin smile lovingly. "Of course Chicue"

'Chicue' Sango said gasping slightly, 'Why is she calling him her father?' Sango listened but Sesshomaru said nothing. 'He doesn't care!' Sango thought 'which means…Sesshomaru possibly see's Rin as a daughter?'

Sango smiled slightly, 'There so happy when there together, what am I doing here?' Sango thought sadly a little voice in her head reminded her 'Kikyou said so, Your elder said so' Sango sighed as she turned down the hall towards her room, pausing as she saw the light of a dim candle walking towards her.

Sango pressed herself against the wall out of instinct the figure paused in front of Sango, his image was dark, the small light casting shadows on his pale face. "It's not wise to wander the halls after dark, I don't know what Sesshomaru wants with a human like you, but I suggest you get to your room little girl" his voice was cold, Sango could feel his aura it was strong and he wasn't even battling. He held her gaze for a moment his golden eyes staring into her brown ones, "I expected more out of you" he said softly as he turned the light slowly walking off down the hall.

'Who was that?' Sango thought somewhat bothered by his presence 'Demon obviously, is he related to Sesshomaru? There both terrifying with power' Sango thought smirking slightly as she continued down the hall, a small glow coming from a room. "What room is this?" Sango said pausing as she opened the door.

It was quite obvious what it was by first looks, a study. There were books all over the wall, a desk in the corner and a picture on the wall the only picture in there, it was amazing. The picture had a familiar aura to it, Sango noted as she walked into the room, quietly shutting the door behind her.

The picture was of a female youkai, it wasn't hard to tell who it was but more hard to believe. "Sesshomaru's mom…" Sango whispered amazed "She was so beautiful I wonder what could have happened" The picture of the women held a kind smile, she was wearing a white youkata with the flower design all over it, similar to what Sesshomaru's pattern looked like. Sesshomaru's pelt over her shoulder, and her silver hair straining to be in the center of her back.

Sango looked as she walked towards Sesshomaru's desk a small leather book resting off to the side. Sango opened the small book up, gasping in surprise at the first date, "This was before I was born!" She said as she looked at the small book "Is this a journal?"

Sango flipped towards the middle of the book, catching the name Keiko as she read the entry outloud to herself.

"It was a hot day when she was born, It days like these when I wonder how things had went so wrong. I hated Inuyasha, so when did I slowly begin to forgive him? It was his meeting Kikyou no doubt, I remember clearly day after day he would attack her yet the miko would never kill him. I saw how close they had gotten, and I saw how happy they were. I remember watching there betrayal as I held his daughter in his arms, it was there dying wish as if they had knew they'd betray each other even though they had no idea. The two parents who loved each other and given this girl life, her clean soul will be tainted. Keiko I'll protect you."

Sango paused, holding the book in her arms, looking over at the next entry, it wasn't until a good year later he picked up the book again it seemed, his hand writing had changed, and the day as well. Sango continued to read, taking a seat behind Sesshomaru's desk as she red the second entry a loud.

"She sees her father pin to the tree and she cries, she visits her mothers tomb and she cries more, asking buddah how and why. It eats at me, I didn't think anything could but she does, her suffering, I feel like I'm the one whose done this one way or another. She's older now, much older and it's strange I'm her uncle right? I shouldn't possess these feelings that I feel for her, so why do I?"

Sango shut the book reluctantly, "I shouldn't have read this, it feels wrong…" Sango said sighing slightly. "It was wrong"

Sango shivered, the voice, Sesshomaru? How long had he been there? And more importantly what was he going to do to her?

"Sesshomaru…" She said smiling sheepishly "I…."
