Chapter 3: the question

"You lie. Nothing controls time." Sesshomaru said. "No, I don't control time, I protect it." Ashrei said coolly which caused Sesshomaru to tighten his grip around her throat. "Set me free and I shall show you." I don't trust you. What happens if you try to run away?" " I have nowhere to run. Nowhere to go." "very well." with that he let her go. All she did was smile a smile Sesshomaru did not like, "I can't take you now. Rin will be left without anyone here to protect her….." "LORD SESSHOMARU!" 'dammit! why did he have to come!' out of the bushes came Jaken fallowed by uh-un. "Looks like you ran out of excuses, Ashrei" Sesshomaru said as she saw her disadvantage.

"Very well I shall show you." she replied seeing no way out of it, "but if it does not let you pass it is not my fault." "If what doesn't let me pass?" all of a sudden she grabbed his hand and they were covered by a shield. When the shield was let down they were in front of a pair of double doors. If you looked anywhere else you feel like you were blind. "what trap is this?" "this is not trap ,Sesshomaru, this is the door to the halls of time." (corny I know but I am brain dead right now) "When you pass through these doors you shall find out about my powers. All you have to do is answer the question." "what question are you talking about bitch?" right when he said that he heard a voice. What is the most important lesson to learn? "that sounded like my mother," Sesshomaru said. "Answer the question you only have one chance, and I cannot help you," was all that Ashrei said. Sesshomaru thought for a while and remembered something that his mother told him when he was a child.

Flashback

"My son what you are about to hear you must remember." Sesshomaru mother was banished by his father. This was going to be the last time he would see her. "My son this is the most important lesson to learn. It is….."

End flashback

"I know it. It is that what is important is not what you know up here," he pointed to his head, "but what you feel in here." He pointed to his heart. He heard no one and when he turned around Ashrei was missing. "Ashrei? This is not funny bitch. Come out now." "Sesshomaru, I am not hiding." he turned around to see where the voice was coming from. When he turned fully around the doors opened in front of him. "Sesshomaru I did not think you of all people could know the question, but I was mistaken. Welcome to the Hall of Time."………

Wow I know no one knew the answer to that question. To tell you truthfully I sortta stole that question. It came from the movie The Liberian. If you have seen it you know it is a very good movie. (It has Excalibur! YAY FOR EXCALIBUR! And Pandora's box. YAY FOR PANDORA"S BOX!) If you haven't you don't know what your missing. Oh well plz review. Don't care for flames, and would like questions/suggestions.

I bid thee well. May you swords stay sharp.
