Summary Sesshoumaru muses about his relationship with his father as he stands in his tomb
Sesshoumaru almost laughed at he gazed up at his father's skeleton. Still larger than life even he was a hollow man. Who knew that this Sesshoumaru could make a joke at a time like this.
The time when he seixed the power that was rightfully his. Which should have been his, when the fool went off to die for his dead lover.
The old man had spouted some worthless phrases about having someone to protect, but the old fool could not even protect himself. That is why he was dead while Sesshoumaru was alive.
He had to admit that he was a little intimidated by the old man. Father had been everything he wanted to be. He had the power and knew how to use it.
Yet he had given up that power to save a human woman who was gone with six years. What a worthless gesture. Not missed. Leaving a worthless child behind to fend for itself. Was it worth it Father?
Father had sent him on a merry chase with his riddle. Two hundred years without the power to defend what Father had left him left him angry and frustrated.
All his planning had worked for this. The sword was on the platform in front He just need to reach out and grab it. Putting the grave in Inuyasha's eye had delayed him, but now it was over.
Father. You who deprived me of my birthright. You will be witness to my ascendancy. My first step on the road to supreme conquest will be to take what was yours.
Fear not. I will not disturb your resting place. Your grave will serve as a reminder to me what happens to persons who turn aside from the path of supreme conquest to protect someone they care about.
