Okie day, this is my first Inuyasha fic...well, first one that I'm going to try and complete. Chapter 1 is really short- just to get things geared up and started. Hope you enjoy! Oh and I don't own the showInuyasha. But I do own Sessie...just don't tell him I told you Giggle.

"Lord Sesshoumaru?" a faint voice asked.

Silence was its answer.

"My Lord, I must speak with you. It is about the demon Naraku."

A tall frame rose out from the darkness that covered the room. Slowly it approached the girl, its brilliant, golden eyes shimmering in the moonlight.

"I know you hate to be bothered, but I thought it was important and you should be informed."

The beautiful man stood before her. This was her master, her lord…her king. She had always been with his family, ever since she was a young pup. She too was of the dog demon race. A proud race at that. She knelt down before him, afraid of him and what he might say. He had beaten her before because of her insolence. She had deserved it; she understood why he had done it. All the servants in his castle had suffered his wrath at some point. He stood over her, looking down upon her small body.

"Speak," his voice was cold and harsh.

She kept her head down, "N-Naraku has taken Rin, my lord."

His glowing eyes narrowed as he knelt down to her level.

"How?" he questioned.

She shut her eyes tighter, "I-I don't know my lord. He must have taken her while she was out in the gardens playing."

"And where were you?"

He was unnaturally calm.

"I was inside the castle, in the kitchen my lord. Preparing her lunch."

His soft, long fingers graced her face and stayed on her cheek. Her lord had never done this before; maybe he was forgiving her? No, that couldn't be it. Sesshoumaru was as evil as he was beautiful.

"Why was no one watching her?"

Slowly, he trailed his claw down her cheek. Cutting her as he went.

"I'm not going to ask you again."

She flinched at the pain, but tried not to let him see.

"I-I though Baruma was out there with her, I swear my lord!"

"You thought that lizard beast would take care of her? You're a bigger fool than I would have guessed, Yuriko."

"My lord, I only thought-"

"You thought wrong."

Swiftly, he stood and walked past her petty form.

"I'm going to retrieve Rin."

She spun around and stood, "Let me go with you my lord!"

"No. You are to watch the castle while I'm away. Think you can handle that?" his tone was demeaning.

"Please let me go with you! It's the least I can do to repay you for being incompetent."

"You'd only slow me down."

"My lord, you know I can fight. You trained me yourself, please give me this chance!"

He stopped and glanced over his shoulder.

"Fine, I won't stop you if you wish to come. But if you get yourself caught or killed, then I will not be held responsible. Are we clear?"

Yuriko smiled and nodded, "Yes sir, thank you."

He continued to walk through the castle and she followed behind him obediently. She kept her head down in respect to her lord and master.

"Do you wish me to get Master Jakin, my lord?"

"He'll be along on his own shortly. You know that he cannot function on his own for very long."

Was he making a joke? His voice was still so lifeless and bitter.

A small smile crossed her lips, "Yes, my lord."

Like I said, wicked short I know. But traveling is boring to read. "Oh look, there's yet another rock. Wow. Be amazed." Yeah, boring. This chapter was really just a way to set up a little plot. Oh no, Rin is capture. Again. Woo. Haha, anyway, I would love reviews and maybe some suggestions. I'm almost down with chapter 2 so that should be up here pretty soon. Lovies!
