I was curious about the demon Zel, as was I everything else concerning him. The unanswered questions were making me seriously agitated.

I pulled Tokigen from my sash pointing it directly at him “I tire from the lack of explanations. Answer my questions before my urge to kill you grows stronger.”

“You are so insolent and stupid!” Sen shouted, “bad dog!”

Once more I fell to the ground, my grip on Tokigen slipped as I fell forcibly to the earth.

“Sen, he has every right to know,” Zel then directed his attention to me as I attempted to rise from the earth, “Pardon her rudeness Sesshomaru, I will explain.”

He waited, not offering assistance, until I had risen before he began to speak.

“Your father and I were great friends since childhood. So much so that I was you and your brother's guardian.”

“You speak lies, I barely remember you at all. There was no one there to raise me or my brother nor did I need it,” I said.

“That is why I beg your forgiveness, if not that than to explain myself. You see the day your father died was around the time I was dealing with a problem that had developed. I was unstable and therefore unable to take both of you into my care.”

“What is this problem you speak of?” I inquired for I believed this would explain his strange behavior.

“It is… difficult to explain but I shall attempt to find the words,” Zel responded, “I was abused as a child by my mother. The only way I could cope with it was believe that it was happening to another. Little did I know that, in a way, it was happening to another. I had created… individual personalities to deal with my problems for me. If there was something one personality could not handle another was created; however, I was unaware of their existence or my mother's abuse. Until later. My theory is that they revealed themselves when they believed that I was mentally ready to handle my problems and their existence.”

“So these personalities are a part of you?” I asked, rather skeptical of his explanation.

“They are me and yet have individual thoughts, mannerisms, habits. I can control them no better than you can control Sen or any other person.”

“This tale of yours is too fantastic, it is nothing more than fiction.” I could not believe such nonsense. It was preposterous!

A/N: Sorry that it took so long. I guess I forgot that I was writing anything and I was never in the mood when I did. Also I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. I don't like this chapter because it feels so incomplete but I can't figure out what to add, so to the Internet it goes!
