The Takeuchi Manor
Sesshomaru turned his car off the main road and drove his car up a long winding privately paved stretch of road. Halfway up, he stops at the control panel of the massive iron gate. He pushing in the code numbers, and the doors open wide to allow him access. 'Home sweet home.' He sighs, as he continues to drive up the long tree lined driveway, leading up to his ancestral home. A sprawling structure made of steel, stone and marble that has stood for over 500 years. Takeuchi Manor was jewel of the vast Takeuchi holdings. He pulls up to the huge house and parks his car. Walking up the stone stairs to the ten foot thick wooden doors, he opens them to steps inside. Standing in the spacious foyer, he presses his back up against the door and closes his eyes. Suddenly he hears foot steps coming down the hall, than a startled gasp.
"Ack! Oh, young master! It's you, I did not expect you home so soon. Forgive me young lord, I am afraid I was not prepared for your arrival," said the little man standing in front of him. He is Jaken Yamamoto. Jaken had been with the family since way before Sesshomaru was born. He and his older cousin, Myoga, had been long time retainers of the distinguished family. "I wished you would have informed me of your arrival, young master."
"Relax, Jaken, It was not something that was planned. I'm just taking sometime to my self. Have the movers finished removing her things form here?" He asked as he handed his briefcase to the little man, and he loosed the knot on his silken necktie.
"Yes, sir, they left a half and hour ago. I never realized all the things that woman had spent your money on." Taking the case, he follows Sesshomaru up the stairway
Sesshomaru sighed as he walked to up the stairs to his room, "Has Myoga gone to pick up Rin yet?"
"Yes, milord, he left about 20 minutes ago. Oh, and that reminds me, Your father called-"
Sesshomaru stopped so short, that Jaken almost ran into him. "My father called?" He turned, "why didn't you tell me?"
Jaken's eyes widened and he gulped nervously. "Well, milord, your arrival had caught me by surprise. I had forgotten momentarily."
"Nevermind, Jaken, what did my father say?"
"He said he was about to board the jet and would be here by tonight."
"You didn't tell him about my situation have you?"
"No, sir. But, he already knows sir?"
Sesshomaru frowns "what do you mean he knows already? How?" Then he pauses for a moment, as a sudden realization comes over him. "Aunt Tokio! Damn. Why can't see just mind her own business." He grumbles as he continues on to his room.
Jaken gives him a sympathetic look, as he follows him into his bedroom. "I'm certain she meant well, young mister. You know how Miss Tokio can be. She is just as protective of you as the mistress was." He places Sess' briefcase on the desk in the corner of the room. Jaken watches as Sesshomaru walks to his closet, he removes his jacket and places it on a hanger. after taking off his shoes, he removes his tie and places it on the tie rack. He walks softly to his king sized bed and plops down hard. 'Poor boy! He seems so tired, he's becoming an old man. I wish he could find time to slow down and enjoy his life.' *Ahem* "Is there anything I can bring you, milord? Or would you like anything special you would like for dinner, young master?"
"No, Jaken. I want for nothing right now, as for dinner, wait to see what Rin wants. Just close the door, I just want to rest for now."
"Yes, milord, have a good rest." As Jaken closes the door, Sesshomaru stops him.
"Jaken?"
"Yes, Young master?"
"Thank you, Jaken. For all you have done for me and my daughter. And, for putting up with that-that thing I married. I am sorry for subjecting you all to that viper!"
"Don't mention it, son. That's what we're here for." With a smile, Jaken closes the door. Leaving Sesshomaru to his thoughts.
Looking over to the nightstand on his right side, he gazes at the photos. One was a picture of Rin, his father, and himself on the day she was born. The next was a picture of Rin and his father. It was taken when he and his father had took her on a business trip to America. They took a day out of their busy schedule and went to Disneyland in Orlando, Fla. They had a great time. She and Touga were wearing Mickey Mouse ears and matching 'Kiss me! I spent the night in Cinderella's Castle!' Sesshomaru thought it was the most ridiculous and most memorable things he had ever seen. He just couldn't resist taking a picture of it. Then the last picture was of his beloved mother. Megumi's dressed in a rose colored silk kimono. Her eyes beaming and she was smiling happily at him from the portrait. 'Mom. I wish you where here, to tell me what to do. Please give me a sigh as to what to do know. Please.' He sighed as his eyes closed and he fell asleep.
An hour later, Sesshomaru was awakened by a small noise. The sound of the door to his room opening. He kept his eyes closed as he hear the soft padding of little feet coming closer and closer to the bed. Just when the steps stopped next to him, he reached out quickly and snatched up the intuder, who squealed. "Ah, daddy! Put me down! Put me down!"
"Ha! Did you really think you could sneak up on me? I got you now, little one! GRRRRR! Take that and that!" He growls as he tickles his giggling daugther.
"I give, I give!" Laughs the squirming child, trying to catch her breath when her father stops tickling her. "Daddy, Mr. Jaken, said you came home early today and you were sleeping. Did you have good dreams?"
He hugs her to him and sighed. "Yes, I was asleep and I dreamed of you! So, yes, I had good dreams. What are you doing in here?"
"Mr. Jaken told me that dinner will be ready soon. So, I came to tell you." She smiled. Sesshomaru just stared at her. "Daddy? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Sesshomaru grinned, "Have I ever told you how much you resemble my mother?"
Rin blinks and turns to the picture of her departed grandmother. "Yes, you have daddy. What was grandmother like?"
"She was kind and she loved to laugh. And, she loved to sing and tell funny stories."
"Hey! I like to do those things too!"
"Yes, you sure do." He smiled at her, tugging lightly on one of her pigtails one the side of her head.
"Do you think she would have liked me, daddy?"
"No Rin. My mother, your grandmother, would have loved you!" He assured his child. "She would have loved you, as much, if not more than anyone else."
"I wish I had known her daddy. I wish she was here with us." She reached over and picked up Megumi's picture. Rin held it for a minute, before she kissed it and put it back carefully.
Sesshomaru kiss her brow and hugged her. "So do I baby. So do I. Oh, but, I have really good news." Excited, Rin looked up at her father and waited for what he wanted to tell her. "Sango call me and she asked if you would like to go to her and Miro's party on Sunday. She said as her flower girl you're presence is required."
Rin started clapping at the news, for she loved parties. Plus, this was a special party. She would get to see her cousins Sango and Kohaku. "Really, daddy? I can really go?"
"Yes my sweet you can. But, that's not all. Your grandfather called. He will be here tonight." At this news Rin jumped up and hugged her father's neck so tight, he almost choked. If there was anyone she loved more than her father, it was her Grandpa Touga. From the time she was born to now, she believed that the sun rose at her father's command, but her grandpa herald the moon and stars!
"Yeah! Grandpa's coming! Grandpa's coming! I'm going to tell Jaken and Mother!" As she started to climb off the bed, Sesshomaru stopped her.
"Wait a minute, Rin. There is something Daddy has to talk to you about." He pulled her into his lap. As she sits and looks at him in confusion, he beings. "Baby, there is something you should know. There are going to be some changes made. Starting today, your mother will no longer be living here with us."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, your mother and I, well, we have decided that we can no longer live in the same house together. So, she and I are getting what is known as a divorce." Rin's little face frowned in confusion as she tried to make sense of what her father was saying. "Rin? Do you know what a divorce is?"
"I guess it's a bad thing, right?"
"Not really," he sighed. "It's when a married couple, like you mother and I, no longer have the same interests. We no longer share the same feelings for each other. It has nothing to do with you, mind you. We still love you very much! We just do not love each other anymore." Looking in his daugther's face, "do you understand, my little love?"
Rin smiled and touched her daddy's cheek, "yes, daddy, I understand. And, don't worry, daddy, grandpa, Mr. Jaken, Mr. Myoga and I still love you! I'll take care of you, daddy!"
Speechless. Sess grabs his girl up in a bear hug. 'Thanks, mom. I got the message!' "I love you, sweet girl!"
"I love you to, daddy!"
Higurashi Shrine
The service for Inu's mother had just ended, and dinner had been served and eaten. Now, the family was now sitting in the family room. Juro and Shippo, Kagome and Naraku's 5 year old son, were listening to Hiko Higurashi tell stories from the past, and laughing as his sister, Keade Fuma, set him straight when he got something wrong. Which was pretty much the whole time! Naraku was holding their sleeping 11month old daughter, Kanna, in his arms while he and Souta played a game of shogi. In Aoi Higurashi's kitchen. "Wow, mom what a spread! You and Inu really outdid yourselves this time!"
"Thanks Kagome, but Yasha did most of the work I just helped here and there."
"Hey, speaking of Inu where is she?" Kagome asked as she looked around. "I haven't seen her in a while now!"
Aoi pointed out the backdoor, "she's sitting under the sacred tree. Why don't you take some tea out to her. I sure she could use it." Aoi smiles and holds out a small tray with 2 steaming cups of tea and some of the sakuramochi, that were left over.
"You know, mom, may be your the one with the insight. Thanks!" Kagome praised, as she took the tray from her mother and headed out to her cousin.
Beneath the Sacred Tree
Inuyasha sat under the Sacred tree at her uncles shrine. As a child it had always been her favorite spot. The one place she could go and clear her mind and soul, whenever she was troubled. It was also the place where she and Kagome went to share life secrets. It was here that Inu ran when her mother died and she prayed for her soul, and it was here where she prayed for the happiness of the certain little boy. Place her small hand on the rough bark of the tree, she closed her eyes. 'Wonder what ever became of that boy?' "And, what was his name anyway?"
"Who's name?"
"Oh, Kags! You startled me, I didn't even hear you," She gasped. Yasha smiled when see saw the tray. "Is that for us?"
Kagome nodded and sat the tray on the bench between them. Handing Inu a cup, she sat down and the 2 started drinking their tea and snacking in silence. After, a few minutes. "Say Kags, thanks." Yasha said as she turned her gaze up to the stars.
"Thanks? For what?"
"For sending Naraku over to the cafe today. I mean, the guys where there and all, but..."
"So, something did happen. I had a feeling that something was wrong, when mom's broom fell for no reason." Kagome said as she stared into her tea. "He showed up... Didn't he?" Yasha, never taking her eye off the sky, nodded. sigh "I thought as much. So, when did he come back?"
Shaking her head, Yasha replied, "I don't know. He said he just got back. sigh He just walked into the cafe like it was nothing. Like he belonged there. You know he still thinks I'm going to marry him! I wouldn't have Heero if he was the last man in the universe!"
They sat in silence for a moment longer. Than Kagome asked, "Hey, Yasha, who were you talking about when I walked up?"
"What? Oh, that. It was nothing really. It was just... Remember when we were about 12 or 13, and we made our wish for our prefect soulmates? And, what they would look like and be like?" Kagome smiled and nodded, for it was not long after that she met Naraku. "I told you my soulmate was a prince."
Again, Kagome nodded. "Yeah, you said he was a prince with silver white hair and golden eyes, I believe. What about it?" She asked curiously.
"Well, I never told you, but I actually met him!"
Kagome's eyes widen, and she almost dropped her tea. "What?!? Where? When? Why didn't you ever tell me? What's he like? Where is he?"
Yasha held up her hands, trying to calm her cousin. "Whoa, slowdown Kags. It was a long time ago. I met him when my mother went into the hospital, for the first time. When she found out how sick she really was. He was there."
Kagome tapped her foot impatiently, as she waited. "Well?"
"That's just it. I didn't remember anymore about him after that, because mom got really sick. But, I use to dream about him at night. He would come to me and comfort me in my dreams. After a while I started to think I had made him up. That he was a figment of my childhood wishes."
"What has happened to change your mind?" Asked Kagome.
"Dreams"
"Dreams? What kind of dreams?"
"The kind that leave me panting like a dog in heat! I feel him. He comes to me, but not as the little boy, but as a grown man." Yasha blushes as she remembered her latest dream.
"Well, what does he look like?"
Yasha shrugged. "I don't know. I never see his face?"
Kagome almost face vaulted. "What? You never see his face! You've been having dream sex with a stranger? You dirty minded little slut!"
"Hey! I am not a 'dirty minded little slut,' and I did not have sex with a stranger!" Yasha defended herself. Than started to squirm under Kagome intense stare. "Well, we never went all the way. Oh, like you're not one to talk! As I recall, you and Naraku got married 'under the gun'! How long was it between your wedding and Shippo's birth? 3 maybe 4 months?" It was Kagome's turn to blush now. Then they both broke out in laughter.
"Okay, you got me. But, seriously, how do you know it's the same guy? I mean it could been Juro or Ban?" At the look on Inuyasha's face, Kags recanted. "O.K. maybe not Ban. But, he could be anyone?"
Yasha shook her head, "No, it's him."
"How do you know without seeing his face?"
Yasha looked at Kagome and smiled, "My mother's roses told me."
Takeuchi Manor 8 PM
Sesshomaru had just put Rin to bed, and was in the front pallor unwinding from a very long day. The contacts he was supposed to be reviewing still untouched in his unopened briefcase on the floor. He was seated in front of the fireplace, a glass of bourbon in his hand as he watched the flames dance. He was roused out of his thoughts when he heard the front door open, then the dull thud of suitcases being placed quietly on the floor. "Will there be anything else, Master?" Said the Myoga, the family driver.
Sesshomaru smiled slightly when he heard that familiar deep low voice reply. "No, I need nothing more, but a drink and a good nights rest." The tall man smiled at his short driver. "Go and get some rest, Myoga, you look like you need some sleep. Good night."
"Yes, sir, good night, Master Touga, sleep well!" With that the little man took his leave.
From his spot in the door Sesshomaru watched as his father closed the door and took off his coat. Hanging it in the hidden closet by the door. "Welcome Home father!"
The man turned and smiled "It's good to be home, My son."
An hour later, the two where settled in the pallor. Jaken, who had come to check on Sesshomaru to see if he need anything, had been happily surprised that the lord of the house was home. He was clicking around him like a mother hen tending to her long lost chick, Sesshomaru, just sat back and watched. "Now is there anything else you would require Master Touga? More tea? Some snacks?"
Touga laughed, "No, Jaken, I told you I'm fine. Just go to bed, my friend I'll see you in the morning!"
Nodding Jaken turned to Sesshomaru, who just shook his head. "Very well then. Good night milords, and welcome home Touga-dono, your presence was sorely missed!"
"Thank you, Jaken," said Touga.
"Good night, Jaken," said Sesshomaru. Jaken bowed and closed the door to give the 2 some much needed privacy. Once alone, Sesshomaru turned to his father. "You where go for a long time father. I hope your trip was satisfactory."
"Hmm. Yes, it was. Although, it would have been better if I had you mother with me. Seeing all the old sights of western Europe seemed a little tainted without her. Paris is not as bright and England was a little dreary. But, all in all it was good to see some of our old friend from our youth again." Touga smiled and took a sip from his tea. "Sessho, be a good son, and give your old man a drink with a little kick to it." Sesshomaru smirked as he stood and walk to the bar. He poured a glass of scotch for his father and retouched his bourbon. Coming back he handed the scotch to his father, who had poured his tea into the potted plant next to the fireplace. "Don't you dare tell Jaken I did that!"
"I wouldn't dream of it. I wouldn't want to break his heart."
"You know, for the life of me I still don't know how you mother could drink his tea?" He pondered shaking his silver head, "It always tasted like he used dishwater." Touga laughed and Sesshomaru grinned.
"Mother always had a way of making a bad situation, good."
"That she did." After a short pause, "I'm pleased that that trait passed to Little Rin. Speaking of the little tyke, how is my granddaughter? I was hoping to get here before she went to bed."
"She tryed to stay awake and wait for you, but sleep finally won out. She was so excited about the good news I gave her about Sango's party."
"So, my little niece is really going to marry that boy, huh?" Touga sipped his drink, "I'm surprised she was able to keep him from running off. With the prospect of my sister as a mother in law. One would think that any sane person would be long gone by now!" He laughed.
"Yes, Aunt Tokio, can be hard to take sometimes."
"'Hard to take'? That's an understatement. My sister is a dragon! Fear is the only reason that Takihiko married her and stayed with her."
Sesshomaru frowned in confusion, "fear? Why would Uncle Taki be afraid of Aunt Tokio?"
"She told him that if he didn't marry her, she'd tell our father." Touga laughed at the growing confusion in his son's face. "My father, your grandfather, told Taki once that if he didn't take Tokio off his hands, he'd beat him with in an inch of his life. Than, have the wedding from his hospital bed!"
Sesshomaru almost choked on his drink. He would not have put it passed his grandfather to do something like that. Old Reijimaru Takeuchi, was a force to be reckoned. He made a much deserved reputation for being a cold and calculating man in business, he ruled the Takeuchi clan with a firm but fair hand. And, his pride and joy where his children. So, when his little girl came to him and told him she was in love and wanted to marry, Takihiko Wantanabe, a young and upcoming lawyer. He made the young man an offer he couldn't refuse. "Was it the same with you and mother, father:"
Touga stared at him, a little embrassed. "Not quite! Your grandparents liked Megumi at first sight. She was the daughter of one of their oldest friends, and Tokio's childhood playmate. I loved her practically from the day she was born!" He gave a sheepish grin, "In fact, father told me, if I made her unhappy he would kill me! You know, now that I think of it, that old demon would have too!" He shivered at the thought of his father's face when he said that to him.
'You probably deserved the warning you old hound!' Sesshomaru thought to himself.
"Anyway, how have you been, my boy?"
Sesshomaru shrugged, "Not bad, just busy as usual. The plans for the new overseas development are going well, I don't foresee any--" he is stopped when his father raises his hand to him.
"No, my son. How are you doing."
Sesshomaru sighed. "It's a mess father. I don't know why I let it go on for so long. How I let that selfish witch stay in my life is beyond me."
"You did it for Rin's sake."
"No, father. If I had done anything for Rin's, it was filing getting rid of that lying, cheating slut. If I had done anything for Rin's sake, I would not have subjected my innocent child, to that witches cruelity." Sesshomaru down his drink in one swallow, and went to pour himself another. Than another. He returned to sit back down next to his father. "I traded my child's happiness for my peace of mind. No more. I refuse to do that anymore. This time Rin comes first!"
"Don't beat yourself up over this, son. Rin is young, she will bounce back. The question is what are we going to do about you?"
"Me? I will be fine, just fine."
Both father and son, started to talk about everything and nothing. It was passed midnight before they finally found their beds. Tomorrow already promising to be a brighter day.
