Chapter Two, The Fox Spirit
Although he didn't want to admit it the vision disturbed him. All night he tossed and turned trying to get to sleep. About one o'clock he finally began to drowse off when the entire room lit up, with a bright green light.
Sesshoumaru angrily slung aside his bed curtains and saw a childish looking fox demon with a very large green fire floating right above his head. It was this green fire that had lighted the entire room.
"So you must be one of Naraku's lackeys" said Sesshoumaru "Prepare to die by my poison claws!"
"No wait that is not true!" quivered the little fox demon "I am 'Ghost of Christmas Past' I came here to save you from the doom you have made for yourself!"
"What doom?" said Sesshoumaru. "As if I Sesshoumaru would be as foolish to do such a thing!"
"But you're doing it right now" protested The Spirit.
"Ridiculous"
"I don't have very long you know" said The Spirit, as he pulled a top form his pants pocket.
"SPINNING TOP" he shouted as he threw the top down.
The top begin to spin around very fast. And as it spun it got bigger and bigger until it filled the entire room. Suddenly it stopped.
Sesshoumaru found he was no longer sitting on his bed. Instead he was sitting in a school house on top a desk. The only two other people in the room were was The Spirit, and a younger version of Sesshoumaru. Looking about eight.
The Younger Sesshoumaru didn't seem to realize their presence, and he continued to work all alone.
("He doesn't notice us" said Sesshoumaru.
"This is shades of the past we can not be seen" said the Spirit.)
The only sounds came form the outside were it sounded as if a horde of children where playing in the snow.
They watched the Young Sesshoumaru for some time.
"This is a waste of my time" scoffed Sesshoumaru sliding off the desk, he stood up. "I suggest you take me back. That is of course if you don't want to die by my poison claws."
'Huh?'" said The Spirit in surprise "I don't get it theirs not a tear running down you check, your eyes aren't even wet!"
"Why should I be crying, I don't see anything to cry about"
"But your all alone, and no one is inviting you to play with them" said The Spirit.
"That is my preferred state of living, I do not enjoy being in the company of lesser beings" said Sesshoumaru
The Spirit was about to respond when the door slung open bringing a burst of snow and cold into the room. A little boy of about five entered the room, he had white hair comparable to the snow and little white puppy dog ears sticking out form his head.
"Shut the door you stupid idiot." said Young Sesshoumaru without breaking from his work.
"But" said the little boy.
Young Sesshoumaru looked up, "Not you again" he muttered.
"What are you doing here, little brother?"
"I came to bring you home!" said the little boy.
"I have no desire to return home, Inuyasha now leave" said Young Sesshoumaru.
"But.." Protested Inuyasha.
"Leave" said Sesshoumaru as he took out the rock he saved in his pocket for times like these.
"But papa said if you didn't come home he would come in get you himself" said Inuyasha about to cry.
Bam, a rock very solidly hit Inuyasha on the head. A large bump swelled where the rock had hit him, and Inuyasha ran from the room crying. The Young Sesshoumaru gathered his books and things to together, left the room and only pausing to put the rock back in his pocket. In case he needed it again.
"You know you sure haven't changed much have you?" said The Spirit to the older Sesshoumaru who had a slight smirk on his face.
"Why do I need to change I was as perfect then as I am now" said Sesshoumaru still smiling.
'This isn't working' thought the fox demon "Come it is time to go now"
"It's about time you stupid fool."
Once again the fox demon threw down the top, and once again the top began to grow and spin.
Sesshoumaru found himself this time inside a friend's shop of father's.
By the wall sat a very tall desk and sitting behind it was Totosai. A very old man. He would have been tall if he didn't always crouch.
"This isn't my house you foolish spirit" said Sesshoumaru
"Well duh" said the Spirit.
"Then I suggest you take me back, or I'll."
"You'll stab your poison claws through me, right?" said The Spirit
"How dare you interrupt and mock this Sesshoumaru?"
"You can just be very predictable sometimes, now watch"
"Oh, when is that stupid boy going to get here" moaned Totosai, scratching his bold head.
"Speak of the devil "said Totosai as he heard the sound of approaching feet. In came Sesshoumaru of about sixteen followed by his younger brother Inuyasha. Who was now no longer a little child but a teen.
"About time you two came" said Totosai "Now hurry up and get this room straighten up before all your father's guest come! Snap to it."
After saying this Totosai walked out and into another room.
"Hey, where do you think your going?!?" yelled Inuyasha
"I'm going to take a bath" replied Tutsi, as he walked away
"Stupid old geezer" muttered Inuyasha looking around, "HEY where'd Sesshoumaru go"
"huh?" said Inuyasha when he saw Sesshoumaru on the top the high desk.
"What are you doing up there?"
"I, Inuyasha am your taskmaster" said Sesshoumaru who was sitting very comfortably on the high desk.
"Yeah, WHATEVER" yelled Inuyasha "you have to help clean too!"
"How ludicrous" Said Sesshoumaru "That you would say such a thing!"
"shady mean ludicrous?" yelled Inuyasha "Father sent you to help too!"
"Inuyasha, father sent me to watch over you and make sure you did the cleaning. For only a fool of the highest order much like yourself,
would ever even consider that this Sesshoumaru, the great demonic lord would do such common things as cleaning. That work Inuyasha, is reserved for hanyou's like you" said Past Sesshoumaru with a small similar smile to the one Sesshoumaru was wearing now.
"Well I guess this memory isn't going to help much" said The Spirit, as he was about to pull the top out.
"Wait Spirit I wish to see myself order Inuyasha around before I go." protested Sesshoumaru with a smirk on his face.
"Well, okay" said The Spirit 'maybe if I keep him here long enough he'll start to show some compassion?'
But the Spirits thoughts faltered as he saw Sesshoumaru enjoying his past tyranny over Inuyasha.
After the cleaning was done under Past Sesshoumaru's direction, Totosai came out form the bath, and soon other guest began to arrive.
The room was very soon filled with holiday cheer. When the Christmas food was brought in and everyone forgot about their earthly troubles and conversed with friends.
Everyone was having very much fun. Couples were dancing, Inuyasha was happily eating, and Totosai was dancing with a bottle sake. Sesshoumaru on the other hand wasn't having any fun; to him parties were a waste of time.
The door flew open and the blast of cold air into the warm party made everyone stop and stare as three people, a strong muscular, tall man entered the room holding the arms of two beautiful women. One was a black haired beauty, the other was a head of white, she beautiful and full grace and pride.
"There is father" said Sesshoumaru unhappily, as he watched himself greet his father "He was always late to everything."
"Come on, aren't you at least happy to see your father?" asked the Spirit
"He's dead, he is no longer important" said Sesshoumaru
The two fell silent as they listened to past Sesshoumaru and his father speak.
"What's wrong Sesshoumaru? You don't seem to be having fun" said his father.
"Parties are a waste of time and money Father, if it wouldn't have been rude for me to not attend I wouldn't have bothered to come"
"I see" Said Innu Papa sagging a bit but his face brightened as he saw a pretty young women, with red eyes, standing alone looking as bored as Sesshoumaru. "I know why don't you go dance with her?" Said Inu Papa pointing to the lady.
"I feel no desire to dance"
"You just know she'll turn you down" said Inuyasha as he broke into the conversation.
"Don't be ridiculous" said Sesshoumaru
"Then go prove that she won't turn you down" said Inu Papa gently shoving Sesshoumaru in her direction.
Sesshoumaru frowned but nevertheless made his way slowly to the woman.
"Woman" he said loudly as he addressed her
"What do you want" she asked quite coldly
"Dance with me or I will stick my poison claws through that pathetic face of yours" said Sesshoumaru.
"What?" said the woman surprised however she quickly regained her composure. "You try that" she said as she took out a fan and opened it.
"So I take it you don't want to dance with me huh?" said Sesshoumaru with a horrible evil smirk on his face, "Get.."
"Heh" she interrupted him "after asking me so rudely naturally I didn't want to dance with you"
"Huh? Explain what you mean" said Sesshoumaru lowering his arm slightly.
"Well, if you had asked me nicely I might have considered it" she said.
"Is that so?" said Sesshoumaru turning away.
"hey wait" the woman said putting her fan away "I thought you wanted to dance with me"
"Well" said Sesshoumaru an odd color of red rising to his cheeks.
She gently grabbed his hand, and led him to the dance floor.
"heh heh, so you had a girlfriend" said the Spirit to Sesshoumaru.
"What" Sesshoumaru started, an odd color of blush rising to his checks he had been so enraptured by the past he had forgotten about the spirit. "Don't be ridiculous."
"I think this is enough, it s time to go" said the Spirit smiling "SPINNING TOP" he shouted the room whirled around. It was gone they were now and at a different place. Only Past Sesshoumaru and that young woman were to be seen.
The were in a comfortable sitting room that would have been so, if the dark feelings of the two were not present.
"Spirit I have no wish to see this take me away" said Sesshoumaru almost angrily
"This is the last, before I will take you home" replied the spirit in glee
"Kagura, why did you bring me here" asked Past Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru, theirs something I needed to ask you" said Kagura "However form the loveless look in your eyes, I see there is no point."
"You're making no sense Kagura"
"You don't love me do you?" she asked.
"heh, whatever gave you that idea?" replied Sesshoumaru.
"That's what I thought" she replied with downcast eyes. "Then I will leave so I won't bother you anymore."
"Kagura there is no point in that" said Sesshoumaru, but she had already closed the door and was gone.
"Spirit did I not say I had to no wish to see these things?" asked Sesshoumaru.
"Well, yeah"said the spirit slightly backing away from Sesshoumaru.
"Then prepare to die, for defying me" said Sesshoumaru, as he suddenly sprang up and stabbed the floating green fire above The Spirit's head with his poison claws.
The light only seemed to grow brighter and brighter until all he could see was green bright, bright light.
Sesshoumaru then found himself back on his bed. The Spirit was gone.
The clock tolled two.
