He just stood there dumbfounded, just seeing the black and white tv radiate the true footage of his parents accident into his soul. He just couldn't believe it. After all the hundreds of crowds dressed in suits and long gowns with cameras around his neck he expected someone to at least get a shot of it, and not fake footage.

His jaw just dropped, falling backwards feeling the couch breaking his fall softly. He just rewound it mindlessly, seeing the younger version of him dressed up in an old gray suit that was cheering for happiness at the start, now with his mouth wide and his blue eyes screaming out and tears running down his face wanting to just die right on the spot.

Sesshomaru just watched the screen go blank into static, while the sounds of blood curling screams were still ringing in his ear. It was like reliving what happened. He just turned it off, and crumbled up the note he was given.

" I can't believe it…I just can't…"

He thought to himself trying to hold back the tears that were fresh, knowing he was an adult and that this had happened years ago. He grasped the ivory colored arm of the chair watching the fabric cringle underneath his long white nails, and feeling his heart as though it was about to stop at any moment. He could feel his head dropping trying not to feel weak, or even allow the person believe he'd act this way but he couldn't help it; it just all flew out.

" What am I doing sitting here and crying over this! My mother and father have been dead for years, and I'm not giving this person the satisfaction they want. I'm an adult, I'm not a freaking child anymore!"

He just watched the light flickered from the single office light on his desk, not even bothered by the sound of the static blasted on the small tv. He was too beside himself to even dare gather the papers that covered the floors, or even move anywhere else. His hand hatefully held up his head, trying to get a grip.

" I remember my mother and father always trying to hide me away from the public eye. I barely ever got to be around them since they were too busy being famous. They always would get a friend, or hire someone to play 'my mother' while they attended work, and when the cameras were rolling. Luckily I got to see them, but only from a far. After there incident, I was forced to be stuck in an orphanage. To rot, and die…."

He heard a gentle knock on the door, while he refused to answer. He didn't want anyone to come in after seeing this, and him breaking down. To see someone as powerful and strong to see him ripped to shreds and explain his apartment being trashed with papers and his stuff everywhere.

" Mr. Tashio…Can I please..come in for a minute? It's Sango…Please it's really important…Mr Tashio?"

Sango had her voice high strung, feeling unwell and she needed to be with someone after she someone mysterious had ripped her house apart while she was sleeping, and heard the baby wailing screaming in bloody murder. She had gotten her bat, and looked around but to her surprise no one was there, and the baby was fine. She was in tears when she saw her photos ripped apart, and all the information about the company gone.

Sesshomaru felt too mortified too move at all. His hands were now imbedded into the chair while his head hung low, still with the tv making the ear screaming sounds, and the static the only thing displayed on the tv.

Sango just lunged the baby in her arms, who still was crying even with the soother in her mouth. She lunged onto the sleeve of Sango's, while her heart was beating out of control after what happened not even moments ago

" Mr Tashio, I know your in there just please open the door. It's important!"

She screamed out with anger, bashing her fist into the door hitting it harder than expected. Like a gust of wind, she saw the door open to see the background of his apartment torn and unorganized as though he went out of his mind looking for something, or someone else. She just there with her jaw dropped, while Sesshomaru's welcome was colder than anything else.

-

" Sesshomaru…what happened here! Are you alright?"

Sango was pretty much a caring kind person, something Sesshomaru would get annoyed by but he knew her tensions were good. He noticed the scared baby looking directly at him, and with her head half buried into her shoulder to feel safe and secure. The baby had seen Sesshomaru many times with the long white hair, and the intense blue eyes and didn't mind. For some reason, the baby wailed when she saw him a loud scream that made Sango cradled like her dumbfounded by what happened.

" Shhh it's alright. It's alright. You know who this is..don't ya? Your never like this. I guess she's been in a panic since earlier since someone had broken into the house and stole all the company papers. I don't understand what's going on.."

Sesshomaru nodded, almost like he had been mute all his life. He just didn't say a word, and directed Sango to sit down for a moment with the child in her arms, and pushed the tape in silently, seeing the whole thing accident thing again, but this time she could tell it was different than the one she saw on the news. It was real; real as anything could get.

Sesshomaru curled up with his winter hair, falling gracefully against his shoulders trying to do something that would keep him calm, and his eyes dried but nothing seemed to work. He could hear Sango gasp, and her hand violently slap against her mouth and glancing back at Sesshomaru, the toughest man she knew now trying to hide the tears that were sliding down his cheek.

" Sesshomaru.. Oh my god I'm so sorry. I don't understand how someone could do this to you! And actually get the real footage of your mother's and father's death."

Sango placed the toddler quietly on the couch, while she stayed content watching something else that made her giggle with laughter. Sango's heart broke when she saw him dressed in his business suit, his knees positioned on the ground and his hands spread out and his head looking down, watching the tears hit against the wooden floor. She had never seen a grown man cry, no matter what the situation was. He seemed to strong willed to even have the emotion to cry and feel hurt let alone shed tears. Sango, softly bent over with her brown hair in her way, grabbing him by his arm for comfort, but he jolted back.

" Look Sango, I'm fine alright? I'm not going to be the way that person expects me to be. Obviously he knows about who I really am, and how I've been trying to hide all these years. I'm not going to let him have the satisfaction of me like this. No way in hell. I've got better things to do, then make a fool out of myself. Sango, I believe he's the same person who took your business papers. I know you can stay here for tonight, and only for tonight. You know I can't handle kids, let alone them being around either."

Sango stood tall and proud delighted to see him on his feet, with a hidden smile on his dull face. It amazed her to see, but she nodded that he would be kind enough to allow her to stay for a night. She understood he hated kids so much, and she understood the reason very well. It was personal.

" I remember Kagura, saying how much she wanted a future together with him, and wanted kids so badly. But as time went on Sesshomaru was too busy with the business. He knew he had to get rid of one thing that was going for him. Instead, he got rid of Kagura painfully as it was. I understand all this is heart breaking for him. Very."

He just turned the tv off, and flickered out the lights grabbing himself a quick drink, with Sango sitting on the rocking chair and her child finally asleep in her arms.

" Sango, I never give you enough credit, but you're a hard working person. This will be the first, and last time I say it. I mean your looking after a child, you never expected from a guy who ran away and trying to provide for yourself and your kid."

Sango smiled, knowing anything kind hearted killed him to say, since he barely had any happiness left inside of him. He grabbed his coffee sitting right across from her, pitying her for this child that seemed more like a burden than a miracle. Sango knew that thought hurt her, when looking back at it. She knew she wanted her daughter to have a father from the start to the finish, to always be a chapter in her life and more, but that plan never worked out. She looked at Sesshomaru completely serious about what he said, and how he felt. Sango felt comforted to see someone like him actually care about someone like her, who seemed only important when it came to work.

" Well, I thought he would stay but he was the type of guy who had reputation of seeing and doing this kind of thing to every girl. I thought if anything happened he would be nice enough to stay, but instead he knew he had an opinion, an opinion to run off like the rest. I had choices, but I couldn't get rid of her no matter what. It's hard now, trying to look after her and provide for myself and her. But, I know I'm ok. I've been doing this for years now."

Sesshomaru just looked at the child, and back towards the drained looking young mother of 17. He lifted himself off the chair, and placed his cup down into the sink, still pretty quiet after the disturbance of the note and the tape he had received. He just walked towards his door to his bedroom, and turned in her direction.

" Well, I have an extra bedroom you can use for you and the baby. But remember after this your getting out of here and going straight back to work. You understand me?"

She smiled while he watched her nod calmly, while she watched him disappear into his room.

" Night Sesshomaru…"

He didn't respond, and she didn't doubt why. After seeing that footage and that note, how could anyone say anything after that? After all, he knew there was going to be more problems after this, and this person isn't going to stop until he gets what he wants…
