Hello Mina-san, Forgive me for retyping this chapter is because I didn't like writing chapter 5 before since it felt a bit rush and full of the emotion I have intended to express. Some part of it is still the same expect less than half of it I guess well anyway here we go.

I don't own any of the character of Inuyasha just my OCs.

Or song the Better than I from Jospeh the King of Dreams.

Hope you enjoy this chapter replacement/update

Chapter 5: Better than I

The dark clouds cover the moon bright light into pouring down harsh water droplets to the ground. At the Western, Palace lies the graveyard of the previous Lord of the West. Lord InuTaisho and Lord Taiyo the father and grandfather of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Though the young hanyou doesn't know about his own grandfather or father as well. There was why Sesshomaru couldn't tell his younger brother that he might be a yokai gypsy as well. Keeping this secret for years may have broken his relationship with Inuyasha but it was for the best. The young lord changes his name and faked his death ever since escaping the Southern Lands.

Was it worth it though? To leave his friends behind after suffering after he witnesses his grandfather death. He couldn't forget the blood on the blade dripping, Akame screaming after being captured, but also Sanyo telling him to leave him behind. Living a better life. What is a better life when Sesshomaru can't even move on his life himself?

A stone carved with his grandfather name along with his sword along with his warm smile picture. The Lord dropped onto while his tears blend in with the rain. Letting out a soft sob leave his lips.

"Grandfather...Father...I'm sorry" he whispers

The memories of seeing his friends smiling during the nights they would stay up late telling stories. Including Sanyo smile, the two Inu youkai have grown to be the best of friends during fifteen years in slavery. Though it felt longer than that being inside that hellish land.

"I wasn't strong enough...to save you, Grandfather...Sanyo...including Akame"

Sesshomaru pulls out a purple bandana with a golden crescent moon and star. The same one that Taiyo have given to his grandson his 260th birthday. The young lord had a great relationship with his grandfather and thought of all the memories the good and bad ones as well.

I thought I did was right

I thought I had the answers

I thought I chose the surest road

But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight

And told you how to help me

Just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear

That song was the exact same song Lord Taiyo use to sing Sesshomaru every night before fallen asleep. The young lord often heard stories that his grandfather made mistake during his youth. Some were funny and some were shocking as well. Though his grandfather learns the value of making mistakes in the past and more about himself. That what made himself the kindest Lord of the Land West ever had.

You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

For you know better than I

If this has been a test

I cannot see the reason

But maybe knowing I don't know

Is part of getting through

Sesshomaru was singing along with the voice of his grandfather. This song was his treasure and remember it by heart. He could never forget ever again. Not this time, no more holding back or tears of pain. Memories of his grandfather as a young pup and through his teenage years were wonderful, depressing, but inspiration as well. The young lord understands Lord Taiyo true strength now after all these years.

I try to do what best

And faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I do

Is put my faith in you

For you know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

Cause you know better than I

A young falcon was screeching through the sky above the young lord. Sesshomaru chuckles remembering himself racing a certain falcon every day toward the cliffs. It made him felt free and alive knowing he had a good life. The falcon screeches once more until the young lord began racing the bird of the sky. The tears were long gone dry as Sesshomaru and falcon began racing into their destination.

I saw a cloud and thought it was the sky

I saw a bird and thought I can follow

But it was you who taught that bird to fly

If I let you reach me will you teach me

For you know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

I'll take what answers you supply

You know better than

I

Not knowing how long the falcon and Sesshomaru until reaching the peak of the mountains seeing the beauty of the Western Land. Breathing heavily with excitement seeing the beauty of his land that once ruled by his grandfather. The Falcon smile brightly before shifting into a spiritual form of the Lord Taiyo watching over him upon the sky. The young lord smiles brightly upon the sky as Taiyo wonders off into the other world.

"Grandpapa...Arigato"
