Chapter 11
A Nice Talk and A Familiar Photograph
"Inu Yasha's my step-brother, you see." Sesshomaru told her quietly. Kagura nodded, already knowing this. "I never quite forgave his mother because…my father was with her when my mother died. And only two days after the funeral, he married her. She had Inu Yasha only five months after." Kagura gasped. How horrible! Even her father hadn't done such things, but her mother … well, she couldn't say the same.
"So I never liked him, especially because my father protected him at no costs. His slut of a mother, she died a few years after, and…" Sesshomaru didn't know how to say this to Kagura. He wondered if he'd be seen as a criminal. Well, he already was, after all, he'd killed her father. "She was murdered. My father worked day and night, vowing to take revenge on whoever had killed her, but the culprit was never found." Sesshomaru twisted his lip. "So, that's the only reason why I live today. If my father had caught me, he would have killed me."
Kagura instinctively took a step back from him. Sesshomaru's eyes glinted. He hoped she wasn't frightened of her. Everyone else usually was. "D-does anyone else know?" She whispered.
"Yes. Inu Yasha saw it. He saw me kill her." Sesshomaru said extremely quietly.
"He didn't tell anyone?"
"No. I don't know why, but it's the only reason I don't arrange for him to follow his mother into the underworld."
Flashback
"S-S-Sesshomaru, please. I- I'm so sorry for whatever I've done to anger you, I really…I-" Inu Yasha's mother looked so frightened. She coughed a little, praying for someone to come and rescue her. But Sesshomaru had made sure that wouldn't happen. His father was away, the servants had a day off. Inu Yasha was asleep upstairs. "I'm sorry, but please, please be rational."
Sesshomaru had his finger on the gun, gently squeezing the trigger. "You caused my family to die! If you hadn't come along, father would have made sure mother didn't pass away! You're a murderer. You killed my mother!" Without any more hesitation, he pulled the trigger quickly.
She was dead.
Sesshomaru turned, preparing to wipe the gun clean. He wasn't going to jail, that was for sure. He had a whole day, no one was going to come. Sesshomaru stopped dead in his tracks. Inu Yasha was in the doorway. His eyes were as wide as saucers.
Seshomaru's eyes darted back and forth between the body and Inu Yasha. His blood froze. If the little brat had seen then –
"WAAAHHHHH!" Inu Yasha started bawling. Sesshomaru hurried around, clearing all the evidence away. Picking up Inu Yasha after about an hour of cleaning, he dove for the phone. 9-1-1.
"Hello, this is the police, is there a problem?"
"Yes, yes! I –" Sesshomaru made his voice tremble, as he had practiced many times before. "I woke up a few minutes ago, and I walked downstairs and my stepmother! She's dead!" He pretended to sniffle, and cry. Hmmm this was a cinch.
"Please, stay calm. The police are on their way. Is there anyone else in the house?" The voice on the other end was calm, but Sesshomaru detected worry in the man's voice.
"No one. My father is on a business trip, and…the servants are gone. There's just me, and my little brother. I don't know what to do, please send help!"
"All right. It will be OK."
Like hell it was going to be. Sesshomaru stared at Inu Yasha calmly. As long as the little brat kept his trap shut. He was going to spin off the story that his brother had found her before he did, and his crying had woken him up.
At the age of 16, Sesshomaru had committed his first murder.
End Flashback
Kagura had gone. She had fled upstairs, Sesshomaru could hear the thumping above his head. Perhaps it was a little cruel to tell her that. But what was done was done. Nothing more could be said.
Kagura ran and ran, heading into the first room upstairs and locking the door behind her. She had never found a man quite so frightening and intimidating. It was still Sesshomaru, but with that chilling story, what else was she to do? Kagura looked around. This was Inu Yasha's room. She decided she'd better leave, it wasn't polite to intrude upon someone's private room. Walking out of the room, a beautiful picture frame caught her eye. It was Inu Yasha, with a woman. Kagura looked closer. The woman looked a lot like Kagome, but she---
Oh my God.
Kagura would recognize that beautiful face anywhere. To prove her thoughts, the woman in the photograph was wearing a ruby ring.
Her mother.
