(A/N): before you read this story, there will be a title surrounded by dashes such as this: -title- before ever scene. It will also be bolded. that title is the name of the song from the inuyasha official soundtrack that goes with it. trust me on this one, it really helps get the creativity flowing. the songs can be found by searching "Inuyasha ost _" and the name of the title in the line. it's completely your choice, but like i said, it REALLY HELPS!


- Sign of Unrest -

Jaken held his two headed staff in his small arms and looked up at the moon. His lord and the others were a little way off preparing themselves for the night. It had been about 11 years since they first encountered Rin and throughout those 11 years, she had grown substantially.

Jaken (recalling all the times Sesshomaru had stepped all over him and nearly killed him): I just don't understand it. Lord Sesshomaru despises human beings. He's supposed to hate Inuyasha for being half human and until now has killed any mortal that crossed his path… so why is it that he treats Rin like… like…

Jaken heard a rustle in the bushes and closed his mouth instantly.

Sesshomaru: like what, Jaken?

Jaken, in a sudden outburst jumped up and greeted his lord, sweating golf ball sized beads of sweat.

Jaken: n-noth-th-thing m-my l-lord!

Sesshomaru lowered his beautiful golden eyes at his imp servant and stood still, the wind blowing his long hair and fur from side to side.

Sesshomaru: that's what I thought. Go back to Rin, Jaken.

Jaken: yes my lord!

After watching the little green creature scamper away with fright, Sesshomaru sighed and sat down against the large tree.

Sesshomaru (to himself): I don't understand it either Jaken.


Jaken walked back to the campsite to see Rin combing her hair and looking anxious for her lord's return.

Rin: master Jaken? Where is lord Sesshomaru?

Jaken: stupid child, stop asking questions!

Rin: you're unusually grumpy today Master Jaken. I only asked you one question!

Jaken (grumbling): he's over by the cliff edge. Don't bother him.

Rin: hmmm…

- Fate and Love -

Hours passed and Rin waited until Jaken was fast asleep, snoring as loud as an imp is capable of snoring. Carefully, she re-arranged Jaken's blanket over his cold little body and took her own blanket with her. Tip toeing, she walked through the woods until she saw a glimpse of silver – Sesshomaru. Scared, and excited to talk to her lord, Rin hid behind a tree and took a deep breath.

Sesshomaru: What is it Rin… it's late. You should be sleeping.

Rin (gasps and bites her lip): oh, uh, I wanted to bring you a blanket… because… it's getting cold… and you…

Rin, expecting her lord to wave her off and keep to himself as usual, was surprised when he called for her to come nearer.

Sesshomaru studied the blanket, then moved his eyes up to meet Rin's. She was a beautiful girl, with large black eyes, long black hair, pale complexion, and curved body.

Sesshomaru: thank…you Rin. (takes the blanket from her paralyzed hands)

They met eyes for a moment, locked, until Sesshomaru looked away. This was her cue to walk away.

Rin (to herself): well, at least he won't be cold….


-Dilemma-

During the 11 years, Inuyasha and his friends were able to retrieve all the shards of the Shikon Jewel and with it's power and a little help from Kaede… Kagome, Sango and Miroku were able to become immortal for the sole purpose of love. In a sense, they had become demons themselves, but with their pure hearts, they became more like angels, devoting themselves to slaying evil.

It was a starry evening, and the moon was astonishingly bright and it would have been a perfect moment until…

Kagome: AHHHH! INUYASHA!

Inuyasha ran to see what the trouble was when he saw that Kagome was being lifted by rather large insect demons.

Inuyasha: IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!

Sango, Miroku and Shippo ran as fast as they could to Kagome's screams.

Inuyasha: huh, typical woman… screaming at every little creepy crawly she sees. "ahhh, look a worm! Oh look a spider! Eeeee"

Kagome: INUYASHA SIT BOY!

(BOOM)

Kagome: I wasn't screaming because I was scared, Inuyasha look at the bugs!

Sango: -gasps- it.. can't be?

Miroku: they're… they're Naraku's poisonous insects…

Shippo: wait.. what! That can't be! We killed Naraku years ago! Somebody please tell me this is a bad dream. Please, please, please…

Inuyasha: shut it Shippo! –sniffs- that's Naraku's scent alright… wait. Ow (slaps his face, looks at his hand to see Myoga the flea)

Kagome: Myoga? What are you doing here?

Myoga: m-master Inuyasha! There's terrible, terrible news… Naraku has been.. resurrected from the dead!

For a moment, everything was silent.
