Moonlit Lullaby

Summary:

The differences between the past and present have never been more apparent as Sesshoumaru struggles with something that millions of others take for granted. He finally gives in to his assistant's suggestions and finds himself at a retreat that's becoming more popular among the older demons who are having similar challenges.

Imagine his surprise when he discovers that it is not the place that is the solution, but a person.
