Chapter 7:: Mother Knows Best
Sesshoumaru spent the rest of the hours at the party staring around the room and noting who was and who wasn't present.
He spotted Kouga, who was blushing madly and talking at the most rapid pace Sesshoumaru had ever seen to the same human girl from before. What had her name been. . . ? Oh, yes, Kagome Higurashi. She was undoubtedly related to the Rin Higurashi he was searching for.
Searching the crowd again, and noticed the other two girls that had accompanied Kagome Higurashi earlier that evening. The one that he had noted as moody was staring back at him in a manner that confused him. Her eyes showed no emotion, something strange to humans. Reflecting the mood in his own eyes, he wondered what she was hiding in the deep recesses of her mind as their eyes locked.
Her eyes broke away almost immediately; then, turning, she disappeared back into the crowd. 'How strange. . .' Sesshoumaru thought. 'For a human to act that way. . .'
With a small roll of his eyes, Sesshoumaru looked over the other human girl. She had black hair, like the others, with tints of auburn where the lights hit her. She was tall, and her hair was long, dropping all the way down to her shoulder blades. Her eyes, unlike the other human girl's, were full of emotion, mostly happiness, but he could sense some form of dread and despair hidden underneath the waves of immense happiness that were flowing forth from her.
But he had never been one to care for the emotions of others, especially a human girls' emotion, so he turned promptly turned his attention the woman's escort.
The man wore a tuxedo, like every other man there, with thick black hair that he pulled back into a tiny little wisp of a ponytail. There was nothing strange about him, but Sesshoumaru could sense something was not entirely right with the young man. Upon further inspection, Sesshoumaru found the cause for the foreboding feeling he was experiencing as he watched the man.
The man's right arm was giving off a strange aura, a small one, but still strange for a human. The aura focused around the palm of his right hand, and upon further inspection, Sesshoumaru noticed that the aura was small only because sacred, magic beads that were wrapped around a leather gauntlet on the man's forearm were purifying it.
Sesshoumaru snorted, turning away. How igneous these humans could be when they wanted to hide something of power.
It got later and later and still Sesshoumaru waited for the party to be over.
The Higurashi girl had left, leaving Kouga in a dreamy state for hours afterward. But even Kouga had left, still in a daze, to return to his pack in the mountains.
"Good luck on your quest, my friend." Kouga had said before he had left.
As his friend was about to leave, Sesshoumaru had wondered if he should warn the demon of the Council's watching him.
Deciding that his friend was more important than his ego, Sesshoumaru came forward and whispered the warning in his friend's ear.
"May Demons stand strong against the winds of war and love."
His friend had stared at him for a moment before nodding with a soft smirk. "What goes on in the mind of a Demon shall never be said." He had promised before taking off into the night.
The warning had been an old one, one that had been used by in the days of the Sengoku Jidaii by demons before they went to battle. But nowadays the saying was only used briefly or in passing. Rethinking the event now, Sesshoumaru wished he had picked something else to say to Kouga to warn him of the Councilman, Naraku. But the time was passed, and his friend had answered sufficiently to his warning, so at least he was aware of the danger.
With another sigh, Sesshoumaru looked at the large clock that hung suspended from the ceiling for everyone to see. It was five minutes till midnight, surely everyone would have cleared out by then?
Five minutes later, he heard the bell toll, and as if by magic several of the stragglers still at the party looked at their clocks and made a face at the time it showed. One even went so far as to shake his watch and press it to his pointed ear as if his acute demon hearing might be off.
Then, moving almost as one and muttering to each other about the time and how they should be going, they dispersed out of the hall, leaving nothing behind the solitary figure that was Sesshoumaru.
It was a quarter after before Yuwakusha suddenly appeared beside him, smiling. "She'll see you now." She informed him before she turned and walked steadily down a thin hallway that Sesshoumaru had not noticed before.
At the end of the hallway, was a large, illustrious white door with a bronze plate in the middle that read something in Human.
Yuwakusha knocked once, the door made a clicking noise, and she admitted him in. "Lord Sesshoumaru to see you, M'Lady."
Sesshoumaru strode in, and, sitting on a long couch with a cigarette in her mouth, lay his mother, a fluffy white tail sticking out from the back of her dress.
As she spotted him, her lips curled into a smirk, and the tip of her tail giving a little flick. Her teeth bit down on the tip of the long black holder of her cigarette and sat up slightly from the pillows she had been leaning on. "My son. . ." She purred.
"Mother." Sesshoumaru acknowledged her, coming to a halt in the middle of the room.
"Oh, my son, why so distance?"
Sesshoumaru sighed once again. "Mother, you have sent your servant after me, threatened my servant, showed me off to those 'friends' of yours, and forced me to stay at your silly party all night. I want to know why you have been suddenly so interested in dragging me out like this."
His mother's body seemed to go rigid and she let out a cloud of smoke that curled around her head as she sat completely upright on the couch.
"My son," She started.
"Sesshoumaru."
Her eyes stared coldly at him, as if to warn him not to correct her anymore.
"My son," She started again through a fake smile. "I simply wanted to see you again, after twenty-one years-"
"After twenty-one years, you show such sudden interest in seeing me? Such an urge to see me that you sent your servant to seduce me, and threatened mine? I highly doubt your emotions grew so quickly and strongly so suddenly." Sesshoumaru asked, cutting in on her.
His mother seethed, her eyes flickering dangerously at him. Her tail tip gave another flick as she sat forward.
"Please, don't interrupt me again." She said, waving it and her anger away with a single motion of her hand through the air. "Now, where was I, oh, yes, Sesshoumaru, I just wanted to see you, my darling. You ARE my only son after all." She said, sitting back again.
"And I have been thinking lately, you should be married by now, should you not? You are – what, six hundred forty-six?"
"Six hundred forty-five." He corrected her.
"Ah, yes, well, still old enough to marry." She said, waving her hand dismissively again. "You are not a child anymore, Sesshoumaru, it's time to grow up, give up your little quest, and settle down with a family. Now, dear, tell me that wouldn't be nice."
Sesshoumaru sighed again, rubbing one hand over his face. "Mother, I have no intention of leaving behind my quest. You should know that. I have been searching for twenty-one years, I am not about to give up now."
His mother took a deep pull on her cigarette, letting out the smoke through her mouth and nose, creating quite an effect as her eyes reverted to blood red for a moment.
"But, darling, haven't you even thought of marriage?" She asked sweetly, holding the cigarette between her fingers.
"No, I have not." Sesshoumaru answered flatly.
His mother's fist clenched together, the claws biting into her hand. "Not even who you would want to marry?" She asked, eyeing the papers that he had folded up and stuck inside of his black outfit, and were now sticking out slightly from the hidden pocket.
"No, mother." Sesshoumaru said forcefully, pushing the papers back into the folds of his clothing.
His mother's eyes followed the papers until they were gone. When they disappeared, she looked up into his amber eyes. "My son, what are you hiding from your mother?" She asked.
Sesshoumaru stiffened. "It is nothing for you to worry about." He told her.
"Oh, don't be silly, let mother see, dear."
"No."
"Darling, I said let mother see."
"And I refused to let you see what is entirely my business."
"Sesshoumaru." His mother roared the hairs on her tail standing on end. "Let your mother see what you are hiding."
Sesshoumaru stood against the blast of aura that followed her unleashed anger. Only his hat blew away, revealing the top of his head and the tips of his youkai ears. "No, mother. What I choose to hide, I choose to hide. I don't intend to show you anything that I choose to keep hidden."
His mother was furious now. "Sesshoumaru, you leave me no choice." She growled, snapping her fingers.
The papers suddenly appeared in her hands, his eyes narrowed angrily as she looked at Sesshoumaru. Then, slowly and carefully she opened the folded parchment.
She wrinkled her nose, narrowed her eyes in frustration, and brought the paper closer and farther from her eyes, but, finally, brought out her glasses. "Ah." She said as she placed them on her nose. "Let's see what young Sesshoumaru was hiding, now, shall we. . . ?"
Sesshoumaru gritted his teeth, wanting to rip the papers back from her.
She wrinkled her nose again, but this time in distaste. Her eyes flickered with anger suddenly and she crumpled the papers in her hand.
"Oh, dear, Sesshoumaru, hunting a human girl? I thought you said you were on a quest to find something important?" She asked, quirking an eyebrow and smirking as she lit the papers on fire with her cigarette."
"MOTHER!!" Sesshoumaru roared, stepping forward suddenly and ripping the papers from her just as the tip was about to be set alight.
His mother smirked, a smirk of hatred and pure malice as she watched him un-crumple the papers and try to save what was left of them.
"My son, was there no quest? Have you fallen for a weak human? Like your weak father?" Her voice dripped with anger.
Sesshoumaru glared at her, his own eyes filled with anger. "Don't confuse me with that bastard, never would I fall for a weak ningen brat!!" He roared, the building starting to shake under his feet, his hair blowing backward. "She is the bearer of what I seek, and if you would be so kind as to let me leave, I will be back soon enough!!"
Yuwakusha's eyes grew wide as Tsumi rose, her eyes blood red as well. "Don't you speak to me in that tone! I try to get you settled down and away from all those ningens and you act like I'm trying to kill you!!"
Sesshoumaru and his mother stood at the opposite sides of the room, their eyes glowing, teeth grit, and hair swirling around them.
"I know you to be very controlling mother, and if I get settled down, it will not be to someone that you choose for me!" He defended.
Tsumi growled in anger, the markings on the side of her face and on her forehead starting to show through the make-up she had put over them. "Sesshoumaru. . ." She hissed.
Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrows and stared into his mother's red eyes, their gaze locked on each other for what seemed like forever to the frightened Yuwakusha. Neither seemed ready to give ground to the other, or to even advance further, but, finally, Tsumi broke the gaze and sat down with a sigh, her aura calming.
Sesshoumaru dropped his guard as well, letting his demon soul settle again.
"Really, Sesshoumaru, you must have thought about it sometime, getting a mate?" His mother asked, her head sitting in one hand.
Sesshoumaru steadily gazed at her, the answer written all over his face. "No, mother."
"Not even what you are looking for in a mate?" She pressed.
"No." Sesshoumaru answered promptly. "I have no intention of finding a mate or of what this mate might look like."
"Well, why not Yuwakusha, darling?" His mother asked, waving a hand to the demon behind her.
"Yuwakusha. . . ?" Sesshoumaru asked lightly.
"Well, we want to keep full demons in the family, especially full inu youkai, and you've known Yuwakusha since you were a pup, so she is undoubtedly the best choice. Plus, darling, she comes from a very well-to- do family."
Sesshoumaru stared at her as if she were crazy. Yuwakusha was a full demon, an inu youkai, and from a very wealthy family that had paid his mother to train her in etiquette, but he had never thought of her as his mate.
Sure, she was good-looking, but his mother had not only trained her in etiquette, but in his mother's wily ways as well. She, in truth, was just like his mother in every way. Of course his mother thought she was the perfect mate.
"Mother, I have no intention of making a mate of Yuwakusha. I told you before that I do not want you controlling my life in any way." Sesshoumaru stated. "Now, if you are quite finished, I must be going." He said, turning to go.
"Sesshoumaru. . ." His mother hissed.
He stopped, feeling his mother's aura rising again.
Turning back slightly, he saw that her claws were digging into the couch arms, and her eyes were glowing as she hissed and growled. "Sesshoumaru. . ."
Yuwakusha's eyes also started to glow, and the furniture started to shake from both their auras growing at the same time.
'Something's not right. . .' Sesshoumaru thought as he placed his hand on his swords. 'They're both acting strangely. . .and at this rate, I won't be able to fight both of them without getting The Council involved. . .'
Sesshoumaru backed up and touched the doorknob, knowing that the door was locked. Just as he suspected, the handle wouldn't turn, leaving the only possible escape route to be one of the windows.
The room rocked for a moment, papers, pillows, cups, and saucers flying everywhere. The windows rattled, the door jumped, the floor buckled and the ceiling creaked. He had to get out soon or there would be two large dog demons sitting on the roof.
With a final look at his mother and Yuwakusha, he ran toward the nearest window and pulled for Toukijin, which gleamed dangerously, reacting to the powerful youkai energy around it.
"Ha!" He yelled as he sliced at the window, cutting it in two. The glass and wood fell out just as he jumped through to the garden below.
Briefly he worried what would happen to his mother and her servant now that there was no one left in the building that might possibly be able to contain them. But his worry soon vanished as he set foot on the ground.
His mother would have attacked him if he had stayed; there was no reason to worry about her anymore if she had decided on taking such an action.
Without even looking back at the building, Sesshoumaru jumped from one building to the next, hoping to put some distance between him and his mother.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Hello!! Me again!!! Thanks to everyone for the reviews and please be patient with me.
I know you all want him to meet Rin-chan soon, but I have already planned everything out. But, I will have an entire chapter devoted to Rin- chan next time, so that she will be in the story at least a little before my intended time to let her appear with Sesshoumaru-sama.
Well, thanks again for the reviews!!! Ja!
Review please!!
