Summary Sesshoumaru and his mother discuss his father’s death
Sesshoumaru barely noticed her descent as he stared at the smouldering ruin where his father had died. So many thoughts went through his head. Anger at his father for giving his life for a human and his hanyou child. Anger at his father for not entrusting him with Tessaiga. Anger with his father for not yielding his title and power to him before he died. Anger at his father for not acknowledging him as his superior. Mostly he was angry at his father for dying and leaving him alone and hollow. Mother had promised that he would never die.
His mother walked over and put her hand on her shoulder. He bristled at her touch “ You lied..You promised he would never die”
She stared hard at him for a second and replied “ I promised that the Inu no Taishou would never die and he has not “
Sesshoumaru snapped “ What do you mean? Father is no longer in this world”
She laughed “ The title “Inu no Taishou” is given to the Leader of the Dogs. The title never dies.
It is yours if you are worthy of it”
Sesshoumaru growled as he walked away “I wanted Father’s power and respect. What use do I have for the title of “Inu no Taishou?” Who cares about a pack of worthless dogs? I do not need them. They will merely hinder me on my Path of Supreme Conquest”
His mother sighed. Men were such drama queens.
