Author's Note: I know my last chapter was short but I needed to get them on the road again and tell Shippo's story. Now that you know that I will go on but forgive me for my short chapters. I really don't write all that much at a time. Ah well, at least I update often. Also this one will be longer, I promise. Enjoy.

Chapter Nine: Sesshoumaru's Past
They traveled tell about midday. They landed in a clearing and set up camp quickly. Afterwards the children were playing under the supervision of Renku, Ka, Ko, and Jakan.
With the children under the eyes of his servants Sesshoumaru called out to Kagome. "It is time to leave. I wish to show you something." He said in a low voice when she obediently walked over to him.
"What is it, my lord?" Kagome asked back, trying to figure out what this might be about. Sesshoumaru did not say a word and just walked away, expecting Kagome to follow without complaint. She did but only because she was curious. Now that she got everything off her chest she felt much better. She now smiled at everyone and also she had her old spark slowly kindling back into her eyes. To say Sesshoumaru was pleased was an understatement. Every time she showed her emotion again he just wanted to give her a kiss as a reward. His thoughts had gotten much more. detailed as of late and he was having trouble controlling himself. He shook his head mentally to clear it of such thoughts and continued to walk.
The path they took at first seemed like it wasn't a path at all then it seemed to grow to be a deer trail. It had taken awhile to get there but eventually it became a path fit for one person, or being if you will, at a time. She followed Sesshoumaru without saying a word knowing that if there was enemies out there it would only tell them where they were and where they were going.
Finally Sesshoumaru stopped while some paces in front of her. "We are here." Was all he said. Kagome quickly looked around and saw nothing at first. Then she caught a sign of old blood. It seemed to be stained into the rock. This part of the forest was a clearing an had a sharp cliff face that seemed to have fallen down on itself. On the front of the rock slid was the words, `Here lies Hana. Good mother and Lady of the Western Lands.' That surprised her. This must have been where Sesshoumaru's mother was buried. She didn't say a word a she bowed politely to the grave. He had brought her here and trusted her to come.
"Sesshoumaru-sama," she began but didn't get to finish as Sesshoumaru's voice brook though the clearing.
"This is where my mother lies. I trust you not to tell anyone about this or what I am about to revile to you." Saying this made her show her shock in front of him again. She quietly nodded her head knowing he could hear her do such a simple action.
He heard her nod her head slightly and decided to start before he lost his nerve. "When I was younger my mother and father, and myself were really close to each other. It was hard to separate my mother and me at all. I was carefree, much the same as Rin is now."
*Flashback*
"Momma," a young Sesshoumaru yelled running up to Hana, his mother and Lady of the West, "look what I found in the garden!" He held up a nice big spider.
"How lovely, dear," Hana's sweet voice spread out to fill the air between her and her son. "Do you know what it is?" She asked him, making him think. Little Sesshoumaru screwed up his face thinking about what his catch could be called.
"A-a sp-sp-spetem?" was what came to his mind. He heard a laugh from be hind him and looked over to see his father striding up to him with a wide smile on his face.
"That is a spider, son," said his father.
"Oh," was all the little demon said as his father picked him up and started talking to his mother about things he could not, yet, understand.
*End Flashback*
"Years went by and I grew up and started to explore. One day I found out that my father had many enemies. That was the day I made a mistake and that killed my mother." Sesshoumaru kept talking. Meanwhile Kagome was listening very intently.
*Flashback*
Sesshoumaru was looking around his father's domain as he explored. He had gone a little farther then usual but didn't think to much on it. That was when he heard the voices.
"Look at what we have here," a very cold, and cruel, voice seemed to say out of thin air, "a prince that has wondered from home?" The voice laughed a Sesshoumaru froze in his place.
"Let us see what we can do to this young one, shall we?" another voice said cruelly.
"Yes, let me test him," a third voice said. This one reached out from behind him. It scared him shitless, so he ran as fast and hard he could. It was impossible for him to stop at this point in time so he kept going. He did not know how far he ran but eventually one of the threesome had caught up to him and tripped him. He landed hard on the ground of a clearing. To one side was a cave carved into a cliff and to the other three was forest.
"Looks like we got you now, kid." The first voice said in his ear. Sesshoumaru was panicking, trying to find a way out when he felt the most excruciating pain coming from his back. He felt claws cut down his back and he also felt the blood run out of the wound. He screamed loudly. It hurt so much. He knew they were about to do it again when he heard his mother's voice.
"You will leave my son alone," her usually sweet voice was low and dangerous.
"Well, well, well," the second voice said lowly, "look at what we have here. A mother and her son. How quaint." Sesshoumaru could fell his mother switch positions to block him from the voice.
"Let him go," she said lowly.
"Why should I do that? Hm? I would have a much better time killing him in front of you. Now wouldn't that be fun?" the voice asked tauntingly. This scared Sesshoumaru once more. He didn't want to die. He, very painfully, rolled on to his back to see what was going on. There was a horse demon right in front of his mother who had her back turned towards him. That was when he saw the horse raise his hand. "Get the boy," he said to the other two horses in the clearing. They came and picked him up behind his mother's back. She swiftly attacked the horse hand to hand. She had gotten a few good scratches in when the horse pulled out a single blade and hit her though the heart. She fell to the ground in what seemed to be slow motion, to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru cried out to his mother.
"MOMMA!!!" He cried to the dead woman at the horse's feet. "NO!!!"
*End Flashback*
"I cannot remember what happened after that, everything was a blur, until my father shock me awake the next morning asking me what had happened. He had gone out to check on me after me and my mother had not come home the night before. I woke up on top of my mother's dead body and there were three dead horse demons scattered around me. After that I made sure I made no mistakes." Sesshoumaru finished quietly. He was having trouble fighting off his emotion. It was hard to relive something like that but for some reason he did not fell as bad as it usually did. He looked behind him to find that Kagome was crying silently for his loses. He was shocked to see she was doing so. No one had ever cried for anything but mercy and their own sorrow. Never had he seen anyone cry for another's sorrow.
"Thank you, Sesshoumaru," Kagome said once she got her emotions back in check. She wiped her eyes and stood up from where she had sat down at. He just nodded slightly. He then proceeded to walk back to camp but before he got two steps something reached out to grab his arm. "I really meant thank you for telling me your story. It was helpful." She said quietly. She quickly kissed him on the lips bringing them both just a little closer.
