"That was not very wise. Did you do something shameful? You thought it fun to get in to harms way? Or perhaps you are quite fond of the woodlands?" Sesshomaru looked up from the ground to see a pair of eyes glaring at him giving sesshomaru a very restless feeling.
"No I was looking for someone…" he mumbled under his breath
" Speak up." Bokuseno said harshly.
"I was looking for someone…"
"And who exactly would you have thought to find here? Bore demons? Did you wish to be devoured?" Bokuseno could only guess who the child was looking for. But preferred to talk as if he knew nothing.
"No it was mother I was.." Sesshomaru could only get that far because bokuseno started to talk over him.
"You would do well to forget her and head back home little one before your father finds you missing."
"But why?" then he thought, "How do you know father hasn't found out yet! I can't go back! He'll punish me"
"I know because he left me not too long ago. Not that a son needs to know the affairs of the father let alone a prince. And of coarse he'll punish you any right minded demon would punish his child for disobeying him. "
"But mother!" Sesshomaru's lip trembled for a moment then he fell on his bottom and held him self.
"Didn't Inu no tai sho talk to you about this already? FORGET HER!" the branches started to viciously shake. "SHE BETRAYED YOUR KIND. SHE IS SCUM! Now GO HOME!" little teary eyed Sesshomaru lifted his head with a heavy heart to see the furious look on bokuseno's face which made him shed a tear. Right at this moment he felt like a little boat lost in a vicious storm out at sea.
Bokuseno stopped seeing what he had just become. It wasn't the child's fault he knew nothing of what was happening and it seemed that his good friend touga had yet to talk to Sesshomaru as he had instructed him last night. 'He is going to ruin this child mentally if he continues what he's doing' he thought to him self. Sighing he prepared himself.
"I'm sorry Sesshomaru I was behaving like a child. I suppose you haven't the slightest clue what is happening hmm?"Sesshomaru nodded "Well before I tell you anything I want you to clean your face up then I want you to tell me what your father has told you. Do you under stand?" Sesshomaru started wiping his face up with his sleeve and nodded. "Now that's better. So what has your father told you"?
He started sniffling "Father told me she couldn't… be with me."
"Is that all?"
"I didn't hear the rest… I ran"
"Why did you run? Were you frightened of the truth?"
"There was blood"
"Blood? What blood?"
"On father. Father tried to hide is from me. I could smell it." Bokuseno looked very upset hearing this since there wasn't the slightest blood on Inu no tai sho when he had come to him for counseling.
"Your fathers blood perhaps?" He said. But he knew inu no tai sho well enough to know there was no wounding him especially in such a short time between leaving him and arriving at the castle.
"No it wasn't." came his soft innocent reply.
