NA: Thank you for your reviews! I hope I didn't run out of ideas too much… Inuyasha is in Clair de Lune, sadly (I don't like him). But since I hate him so much, I will make him miserable. I realized that I said Sesshomaru's father was dead once, so I put an excuse for reviving him. Well, I didn't revive him, but I… you'll eventually find out. Here we go.
Clair de Lune
By Sansy
Chapter 10:
Identity
Sesshomaru rethought of what his mother had told him over the phone after he went to amusement park with Kagome. It was enraging, to believe that his mother had lied… and he had believed that lie his whole life. Here's what he heard over the phone:
(Flashback)
"Sesshomaru, I lied. I lied your whole life. The man you saw dying in the hospital… isn't your father." Her voice was quivering, along with boom of abreast keys. It was possible that she was drunk. She sobbed a little bit, and there were thumps of piano keys.
"What…? Mother, did you drink again? What is this nonsense?" said Sesshomaru, who didn't try one bit to understand this.
"It's the truth, Sesshomaru… he's alive, and he was the reason that we came to Tokyo all the way from United States." Her voice was hard to hear now, with gasps and sobs between every word. She began to sob loudly, and started to play the piano along. 'For Elise' rang loudly in Sesshomaru's ear, until the phone slipped from his grasp. His vision was getting blurry, remembering someone's voice, who he acknowledged as his father. But he wasn't real…he wasn't dead… he was somewhere in Tokyo, perhaps knowing and perhaps not knowing that his son believed that he died. Tears rolled down his cheek and dropped to the cold ground. He was sure he was crying… but why was he?
It was all too hard to believe.
(End flashback)
Sesshomaru gnawed his lower lip, trying to fight back the rage that was beginning to burn again. Like a white fire, it was beginning to scorch his insides again. The life- long truth that his mother hid from him…
But did the professor know?
The thought struck him like a lightning, numbing his muscles and paralyzing his senses. Did the professor know? When Sesshomaru visited him for the first time, the professor treated him like a complete stranger, like he didn't know Sesshomaru… If the professor knew, he would have told him somehow… Did he know? If the professor didn't know that Sesshomaru was his son, he could never be sure if he had a father or not.
"I… have to find out, whether mother likes it or not…"
"Inuyasha! You finally got out of the hospital!" yelled Kagome, grasping Inuyasha's sleeve. Inuyasha scratched his head, laughing.
"Yep, finally up and walking. Hey how are you, Kagome? "said Inuyasha cheerfully. Kagome chatted with him all the way to the lockers, where she found Sesshomaru. Kagome threw a greeting.
"Good morning, Sesshomaru-kun!" Kagome greeted cheerfully. Today, Sesshomaru had his hair up in a loose ponytail, which made him look more feminine than usual. He noticed Kagome and turned.
"Good mo—"Sesshomaru was about to finish saying "morning" when he saw Inuyasha. He thinned his lips and grimaced slightly at Inuyasha. He just walked to the stairs. Kagome watched with troubled face as Sesshomaru disappeared behind the concrete railing.
"What a jerk! I'll tell him off later, Kagome. What was his name, Sesshomaru? C'mon. Let's go. We'll be late if we don't hurry." Growled Inuyasha, kicking his locker shut.
"O..okay…" said Kagome. She was worried. Sesshomaru have never acted this way before. Indeed, he was a bit cold, but he never ignored Kagome.
Did I do something wrong? Why is he acting like that?
Trudging, Kagome walked toward her locker and switched her shoes into her indoor shoes.
(In Japan or Korea, you have to wear indoor shoes before entering the "school". They have these locker things where the "outdoor" shoes are kept during the day.)
Sesshomaru was troubled. He knew Kagome was friendly, but befriending such a person was unacceptable. No, he could bet that they were more than so. When he saw their hands holding, he was disappointed. To think that Kagome, his only "friend" is a friend with a person like Inuyasha bothered his every nerve. He flipped his hair back impatiently, trying to take his mind off the pointless topic, as he called it.
His only friend….
Sesshomaru stopped, as if realizing something. A friend may have been a mere… fantasy of his. She may not even be her friend. She may have just talked to her because she felt bad for him being left out.
What was he to her?
AN: very late, I know. But I've been busy because I've been moving to a different house and the internet wasn't on for like, two weeks. Sorry…
