Underestimate

Sesshoumaru was stunned to say the least. Admittedly, he had heard that his brother had been killed, yet he figured it was simply a rumor. Inuyasha, while a fool, was indeed hard to kill. How could any enemy of his kill him?

"He died a human." Sesshoumaru stated more than questioned.

Kagome simply nodded.

Sesshoumaru had grossly underestimated how eager his enemies were to attack his extended family. Inuyasha had not been seen as part of Western politics since he was a very small child. He had been eager to abandon his duties as a son of InuTaisho. Inuyasha severed all ties with the West a long while ago, so Sesshoumaru was somewhat surprised that the less-than-hanyou child was targeted at all. This could mean serious political unrest between his allies, and possibly a war in the future.
