"I don't understand." Sesshoumaru said. He couldn't believe his ears, was the old man losing it? He stood in front of his father's desk in their home, and he couldn't fathom what he was hearing.
"I said, you WILL NOT interfere with the Higurashi's situation. I know you want to, but now is not the time." InuTaisho responded. No matter how hard his son fought him, he had his reasons for restricting him. He liked the girl, but a situation like this had to be handled delicately. He wasn't naive to her suffering, as much as his son liked to think he was. But once again, he had his reasons for everything.
"The time was eleven years ago, when she first moved here!" Sesshoumaru was trying not to lose his temper, and it was proving to be difficult. He could not understand why his father allowed it to happen, it could've been put to an end a long time ago if he would've only let Sesshoumaru do it.
"No, it would've only made things worse. I cannot tell you why, but you will know when the time is right, and so will she." His father's tone conveyed that the conversation was over, and that he was dismissed. He hated when his sire did that, but he also knew better than to challenge him. So he stiffly left the room, and headed to his own bedroom. The room was silver lined with black, and mostly he had the basic furnishings. The only thing that was extra, was a photo of Kagome and himself at their junior Prom six months ago. The picture had been taken as they walked in, and it was the most valued of his possessions.
No matter how hard he tried he could not decipher what his father's intentions were, or why letting her stay there was a good thing. He just couldn't wrap his head around it. For all his smarts it was beyond his comprehension. But he had no choice but to continue with the status quo. It was becoming harder for him to let her walk into her house, knowing that it was only a matter of time before her father let her have it again. Before he wanted to smash his teeth in, or he just wanted to run off with her and never look back. However, his father was persistent and he was stuck. Though he did vow that he would be there for her, until he COULD pull her out of there, and then she would be his.
Ok, hope everyone liked this. I've had a lot of people asking why his father is stopping him, well here's a little but of their interaction. The rest will be in the Epilogue. Another thing, to the reviewer androgynousboii: I was portraying that even though she was a child, child abuse victims are prone to be more mature in their mannerisms than others. I had this growing up since I experienced quite a bit of the same treatment as a child. Sesshoumaru acts older because he is, he just has a glamour of sorts that allows him to change his appearance. Sorry if it left you a little confused, but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless :D
