A/N: Not much to say here but thanks to all reviewers! This is an extremely short chapter but it's here for a reason. I updated two at a time so that you didn't have to read just one little paragraph the next time I updated. Anyways, here you go.

Chapter 17-Do You Call My Name (Ra)

So you just sit there, stuck, afraid to risk reality...afraid to cause yourself more pain, to face insanity...

/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/

Sesshoumaru felt his heart skip a few beats. He knew something had gone wrong, something had gone terribly wrong...he raced towards the castle, his heart pounding in his chest, his eyes blurry...

"FATHER! FATHER!" he shrieked, not caring whether or not he had just fought with him, not caring whether or not he had argued with him, not caring...not caring whether he had a child with a human...

InuTaisho weakly opened his eyes, seeing his son frantically searching through the flames and ashes and smoke.

"He no longer needs me," InuTaisho whispered to himself. "He's a grown man, if a bit young still...why do you call my name, Sesshoumaru? You should rely on yourself...I cannot help you anymore..."

And InuTaisho, the legendary Lord of the West, the Great Demon himself, the unstoppable incarnation of might and power-InuTaisho died at that moment, taking his question to the grave with him.
