Prompt #2
The warm summer wind blew his silk robes around him as Sesshomaru stood on a sheer cliff watching the valley below. His mind had been troubled as of late and there was no peace from the whirling thoughts that had been plaguing him.
Actually, he had to be honest with himself. All of his thoughts seemed to be centered around one person lately and it was beginning to irritate him greatly.
Hearing a noise behind him he turned to see the object of his disordered mind and made a decision. Today he would put his thoughts to rest.
. . .
“Father,” he said, the scent of human wafting up to his nose and sticking in the back of his throat. He crinkled his nose at the foul taste. Father reeked of it.
His father eyed him for a long moment, not failing to miss the look of disgust spreading across his son’s face. He looked so much like his mother at this moment, full of spite and anger. InuNoTaisho waited for his son to speak, already knowing what it was that drew his first born son to his door.
“It is true then?” Sesshoumaru asked.
His father let out a breath. “You already know the answer to that, son,” he said.
His heart began to beat faster, unable to control it any longer. His hands clenched into fists. “Why?”
His father remained silent at his question. Suddenly in the distance there was a loud clatter and crash of noise, and a small boy with silver hair and golden eyes raced up to his fathers leg and latched on, peeking around from behind.
A woman’s voice called after the boy, “InuYasha, come back here!”
Sesshoumaru felt his throat tighten. It was one thing to hear of the rumors plaguing his family, but another to face it in person. There was no doubt the boy was his fathers; the last refuge of hope finally dashed away at the sight of the hanyou.
“Sesshoumaru. This is your brother. InuYasha.”
He narrowed his eyes at his father. “That thing is no brother of mine,” he said, and turned to walk away.
He felt his father’s aura rise in anger, vast pressure pushing on his back.
“Regardless of whether you chose to acknowledge him or not, you are my son. And he is my son. You will always be brothers, and your obligation of honor will tie you together forever.”
He stopped to cast a sidelong look at his father. He flared his aura, pushing InuNoTaisho’s back towards him, noting the surprise in his father’s eyes of his strength.
“Do not speak to me of my honor when you have so easily abandoned yours,” he responded, and walked into the woods.
