Title: Splash of Color (#27 Laughter)
Rating: G
Character/Pairing: Sesshoumaru + Inutaisho, Rin
Words: 114
Summary: Her mirth takes him back to when he was younger.


He watches Rin play among the spring flowers, her laughter ringing out over Jaken’s attempts to keep her from “bothering Lord Sesshoumaru with your senseless noise.” He doesn’t really mind; her mirth takes him back to when he was her age or younger, crisp fall leaves stuck in his hair and inside his kimono, his father’s booming laugh echoing in his ears as they prepared to launch an attack on yet another unfortunate pile of leaves.

“Laugh, my boy, else everything in life becomes gray and dull.”

He hasn’t thought of times like that in ages. The memory makes a knot of longing form in his throat and he suddenly has to look away.

Title: Hidden Truths (#28 Secrets)
Rating: G
Character/Pairing: Sesshoumaru + Inutaisho, Izayoi
Words: 128
Summary: He didn’t know what his father was hiding from him, but he didn’t like it.


Sesshoumaru did not like the mysterious way that his father would tactfully evade answering when he inquired as to where he had been all that day and deep into the evening. The quiet smile and sense of contentedness put him on edge, as did the irritating way his father would disappear from him in the forest, despite his best efforts to track him. It did seem like Inutaisho laughed more freely than Sesshoumaru could remember him doing nowadays, and his step was lighter, as if he were happier than he had been in a long time.

He frowned and felt resentful towards whomever or whatever it was that was making his father keep things from him. Nothing good would come of this secret, of that Sesshoumaru was certain.
