1 Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Fluffy (Sesshoumaru)..although I would like to.

Comments: this is my first fanfic so be gentle w/ the flames. Originally I like the idea of Inuyasha with Kagome but recently the thought of Fluffy instead of IY was a whole lot more appealing. That was what this fic was gonna be..a S/K fic but why seperated Inuyasha from Kagome. What the hell, lets make up a new character for Fluffy..don't like well..i guess its tough luck. (J/K)

4 Chapter One: The Beginning



"WAAIITT FFOORR MMEEEEE!! SEESSOUUMARUUUU-SAAMAAAA!!!"

The nearby villagers turned round to see a green ugly toad thingy chasing a youkai and a girl.

"Then hurry up," the girl, Rin, said, making a face behind the named youkai. This seemed to infuriate the toad.

"Oooohh! Wait'll you see what the staff of heads can do!!" Jaken retorted angrily.

"You wouldn't hurt Rin."

"I wouldn't, eh?"

"Nope. Not with Seshou-san around."

"SESHOU-SAN!? SHOW THE GREAT SESSOUMARU SOME RESPECT, YOU TWERP!!!"

There was a moment of silence after the shout as Rin covered her ears but kept them there because she was still thinking of a retort.

"Who gave you permission to omit sama from my name.?" Sesshoumaru quietly injected.

"ummmm." they stuttered in unison.

".Jaken?" he quietly finished and the villagers turned to see the youkai and the girl walking out as the green toad seemed to be flying. None were surprised. They have seen this type of activity daily.

Meanwhile..

"INUU-YAASHAA!!" Kagome called wondering where Inuyasha went. **He's been gone for 6 hours. He should be back by now!.except if he..he.NO! He wouldn't. B-but, he seemed kind of distant lately.**

She walked through the dense foliage some more until she heard some voices.

"Demo..Kikyo. What about Kagome?"

"What about her?! She's nothing. Just a simple copy of me. Now shush, you'll be with me forever." Kikyo cajoled, **In Hell!**

**Kikyo? With Inuyasha? H-how c-c-could he?! He said he loved me.did he mean it? Oh, God! What'll I do? Just go back and when he comes say 'I saw you with Kikyo.' He'll think I was spying on him.**

**Oh! I can't take this**, Kagome sobbed and fled. Where? She didn't know. Anywhere would do, as long as she didn't have to be reminded of Inuyasha's betrayal. As long as she didn't have to feel all this emotions. Anger, sorrow, betrayal. These were the feelings that poisoned Kikyo's soul. She won't make the same mistake. But she couldn't deny herself one moment of thought while plunging into the dense shrubs. If only.if only Inuyasha had not betrayed her..if only.

Well, she can't very well dwell on the past. If Inuyasha is going to be with Kikyo then I might as well make a life for myself. *Forgive me, Shippou, Miroku, Sango. But I just have to do this. Otherwise it'll hurt too much.*



Two Years Later:

**I can't believe I, the great Lord Sesshoumaru, is doing this.I also can't believe I have resorted to talking to myself. Argh..this is because of that meddling child.** All this was to make all that disbelief go away but it wouldn't go. Rin wasn't really a meddling child. No, she was just annoying sometimes but today was a special day for humans..the day of their birth. They're supposed to get gifts..but why is HE getting the gift for her. **I should get Jaken to do this. No, that wouldn't do. He hates humans. Almost as much as I do.wait, Rin is human. Argh, why is life so confusing.**

As Sesshoumaru walked through a nearby meadow looking for the flowers Rin liked so much, his sensitive ears picked up some sounds of battle.

Silently following the sounds he came upon a group of twenty youkai's against two girls. No, make that, women.

"Damn you.you couldn't just leave us alone, could you?" spat out the shorter one. She had black hair and looked remarkable like the bitch that ran away form his idiot brother. She was wearing a miko outfit with an arrow directed at the closest youkai. "And you had to bring some of your friends too."

"Why of course. Two young ladies shouldn't be in the forest alone. We just though we'd give you ladies a hand. Ku Ku Ku." The bunch laughed at that remark. "Well, enough chit-chat. Time to have a little fun, eh?"

The group began to close in but they hadn't noticed what Sesshoumaru noticed. The other girl was not doing anything. Just watching. **Strange. She doesn't seem afraid.**

The Kagome-look-alike released the arrow but just like Kagome she missed but got the one behind him. The former reached out and was in the process of grabbing the miko's shirt when.

"Why don't you do yourself a favor and leave us alone."
