Hey All! Thanks for checkin' out my story! May Sesshy rock 'til the end of time!

Sesshoumaru stared out of the library's window trying to do the paperwork in front of him. He reached for some Sake only to remember that his arm was missing. His thoughts drifted to the his brother once again, the hanyou made his blood boil as if the sun's fire had had been placed within him. Inuyasha, the name itself drove itself drove him to the edge. HE had taken all Sesshoumaru had cared for... and now he had what the lord of the western lands wanted most of all;

Flashback

His father's bastard child's cry rung through the halls, 'so it has been born' thought the young lord. Sesshoumaru bit back the snarl that resided in his throat as his hands curled into fists. Turning his back on the intolerable wailing he ran, very unlord like, to his mother's chambers. His mother's once elegant quarters were now stripped of all belongings, for she was being moved to a smaller place with less windows,less space, with almost none of her favorite things accompanying her, and in his eyes a room no better than a barn.

"So Inuyasha has been born?"

the enchanting vioce hit his ears, his mother's. He nodded to the beautiful inuyoukai in front of him calmly working on her sewing.

Her sad gray eyes looked up at him as she gave him a watery smile "do not hate the boy Sesshoumaru, he is at no fault."

Sesshoumaru growled, "how is that thing at no fault,mother?" he started to pace around the room, "his mother wears your gowns and jewels, sits at your spot at court and shortly going to occupy your chambers!"

"hai" whispered his mother as she watched her only child stock around the room like a caged animal looking as if he was about to go and kill something. A tear slipped down her face as she thought of the hate her ten year old son was nurseing in his heart.

His mother's tears stopped him in his tracks, she was broken, her love gone, her pride, her honor, her possesions, all gone, to that worthless hanyou and his mother, and here he is rubbing it in her face. "I'm sorry mother" he looked away from her unable to stare at the broken doll of a lady in front of him.

"Please tell me you will not kill him" she begged. Even though her love betrayed her and insulted her more by leaving her for a human pleasure slave no less, she still wanted him to be happy.

Sesshoumaru bowed his head "yes mother, I promise"

"Good, run along my little Sessho-chan, you must study"

Sesshoumaru bowed to his mother and exited the room, closing the door behind him softly. He turned and left as the smell of salt water wafted under the door to his mothers room.

...When Sesshoumaru woke up it was morning, servants shouts filled the wing each carried the same message, Sunako, Lady of the Western Lands was dead. Wearing only his sleeping pants he tore out of the room running as fast as he could, to his mother's quarters.

Seeing all the servants gathered about the entrance he growled "leave" before continuing to her room,down the lonely bare hall. Skidding through the door he saw a sight that would haunt him for years afterward. A red-haired, gray eyed inuyoukai hung from the rafters by her favorite red obi, his mother. Dead. Dressed in black, hanging by an Obi. Silently Sesshoumaru stepped forward dragging a table with him to cut his mother down. He layed her on her silky bed, the only item of elegance left to his mother, and covered her with the silken sheet. He looked around for his father, surely he would come, right? So the young Sesshoumaru waited, hours passed. Sesshoumaru done waiting for his father to come seeked out the taiyoukai himself. Wandering the halls he came upon a maid scrubbing the floor, his mother's former lady-in-waitng and best friend, Sukura. "My father,Sukura, tell me of his whereabouts"

the neko youkai looked up at him with poofy eyes still running with tears. " with his whore, my lord" she spat out like it was venom.

Sesshoumaru nodded and started to walk away from the maiden, but he stopped and turned around."Sukura, do not let your mouth speak of the human as that in my father's hearing...but i think the title fits."

"aye, my lord, it does." whispered the neko as her young lord walked on to the human's chambers."it does"

Reaching the door he knocked lightly. A gruff voice told him to enter. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at his father's back, the taiyoukai was holding the hanyou pup in his arms, cradling it to his chest like a valuable treasure, revolting.

"speak or be gone Shesshomaru, you waste my time...unless you want to hold your brother?"

his brother thought Sesshoumaru, revolting and disturbing. "mother is dead,sir. Have you been alerted, my lord?"

A husky laugh filled the air " Gods be praised, the bitch is gone! I knew hours ago, boy! Suck up boy, she made you mush boy,MUSH!" the demon laughed again, oviously in a wonderful mood over his mother's death "think Ice, Ice Sesshoumaru or Inuyasha will become heir, and you useless."

Sesshoumaru stared disbelieveingly at his sire "yes, my lord"

and after that day he became what his father wished...Ice

End Flashback

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temple. Inuyasha took his mother, his best-friend, and his arm. Inuyasha had his father's sword, the useful one mind you, and he had...

"Kagome" the name rolled off his tougue as if it where silk, spoken many times before."Kagome"

She was interesting.. Her smile was as intense as the sun. The girl haunted his dreams and his thoughts. A firey human that could take on any demoness. Sesshoumaru's lip curled up at the way his mind was taking him. He, unlike his father, would never take a human bitch to his bed, never. Deciding that he wouldn't be able to finish this paperwork he swept out of the library, heading toward the edge of his lands, to Inuyasha's forest to spar with his brother ...and to see Kagome.
