Sesshomaru left his daughter to herself after that, returning to his room. It was fine with her "Kagome" She spoke, then smiled. In all her years she I never heard her father talk about it, of course, he didn't talk much at all. She had tried to pry stuff out of her uncle, but he kept telling her to ask her father. She had always been afraid to ask him.
The waved crashed, she loved the sound, it calmed her soul sometimes. She sighed, this would be hard, she turned and looked up to his window.
How in the world did she come to be? All she knew was her mother was human and a Miko, that was it. How in the world was she even born? Her father was not close to anyone, and she never saw him with a woman. What little she did know, was provided to her by Rin, sweet Rin. Rin now lived with Sango and Miroku and their children, they all were getting old.
Seraphina returned to her room, shutting the door slightly and got ready for bed, she retired to her balcony, the rain long gone, a gentle breeze going, she took down her hair and let the sea wind dance with it. The high moon was so bright it lit the sea below it.
Sesshomaru was looking at the same moon, trying to figure out what to say, what to do, he was not even sure he had the answers she seeks of her mother. He himself didn't know why she left and never bothered to ask anyone; he didn't care, she left her only child, how could she?
Sesshomaru found himself standing behind his daughter after a while; she looked so much like her mother with her hair down.
"If it a fairytale you seek, you will not find it."
His daughter smirked, "I didn't fetch you as a romantic dad."
She didn't call him dad very often, but he could pinpoint the disappointment in her statement. She turned "Tell me, how did a human girl catch the eye of one great Lord Sesshomaru," She said with a slight smile, her fang showing, reminding him, that Kagome had indeed given him a demon child.
That was the one question he didn't want to be asked, he looked away, and she looked down "Was she pretty?"
"You resemble her."
"I look just like you."
"Because you have not seen her."
"You didn't answer my question."
He walked past his daughter, up against the balcony wall "The Miko had her own class, she was not like others of this time."
She made a face, and without looking at her, he knew he slipped up "Time?"
Sesshomaru closed his eyes "Your mother did not belong here, she was born in time 500 years from now."
He could tell her heart picked up in speed.
"Like you, her looks where all their own"
It was his way of saying she was indeed good looking.
"She was young," He told her.
"Rin said you two were so odd to her. Like night and day."
He was going to kill Rin, so she was the fire starter in all this.
"Your mother had a fire in her soul."
"She liked to argue with you?"
"Indeed" He did recall her yelling at him,
"I tried to kill her; she would not have it."
He heard her giggle "You were like her as a child, defiant."
She smirked and held her head high, that made her proud "So she stood up to you?"
"I allowed it"
He looked at his daughter who was beaming "It is unlikely she will ever return."
She looked down "So she is not even here, to be found?"
He picked up her chin and made her look at him "Do you not think I would have looked for her, if not only for you?"
A tear formed and slid down, and she smiled, her father would move mountains for her if she asked and she knew it. She hugged him tight, something she had not done in a long time, hugging was still odd to him. "I'm sorry father."
Why was she sorry?
"It was out of your control."
She backed away and looked up "Not that, I'm sorry she left us, me, you"
She hugged again "I know not why" She was barking up the wrong tree with that last statement, the only person she left was their daughter.
"Inuyasha said once, when I asked, that mother was many things, but he knew for sure, that she would never leave me, without good reason."
Damn his brother.
But it was true, it was not like Kagome, he would never think she would just leave her baby "It was unlike her"
She pulled away "Why did you never ask?"
Could he say he didn't care? No,
"I know why."
He watched her carefully as she walked away,
"Proceed"
"Because you where angry and hurt" She smiled and opened her door "Goodnight father, tomorrow, we travel."
He would allow her, her thoughts on the matter, Sesshomaru did not get hurt.
"Where do you wish to go?"
"Why to see uncle Inuyasha of course, he is your brother.'
"Seraphina"
"Please father," She said stern, he knew one day he would have to.
He walked out of her room "And you have to promise not fight."
"I make no such promise girl."
She smiled before shutting the door in his face, and that was very much like her mother.
