Chapter 1

Sesshomaru's lonely quest begins.

An explosion can be heard for miles. The explosion came from Naraku's castle. Inuyasha and his group and Sesshomaru's group are there. The explosion was caused by Inuyasha's Backlash wave and Sesshomaru's dragon strike. Colliding with Naraku's energy blast. Ten minutes have passed since the explosion. Naraku, Kagura, and Kanna are dead. Kilala, Ah-Un, and Shippo came out of their hiding place. Shippo went over to Kagome. He check to see if she's alive. Shippo can feel a pulse. Then he found Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken. He checked for their pulses. All have pulses except Rin and Jaken. Just then Kilala came up to Shippo with the complete shikon jewel. Shippo decided to wait until his friends come to.

Kilala and Ah-Un laid down by Shippo and sighed. After waiting for ten minutes Sango, Miroku, and Kagome came to. Kagome sat up and asked "How is everyone?" Shippo sighed and said "Rin and Jaken are dead. And Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are fine." Kagome looked over to the left and saw Inuyasha. He is laying on his stomach with Tetsusaiga in his hand. Then Kagome looked to the right and saw Sesshomaru. He is laying on his felt said with Tokijin in his hand. Then Kagome looked at Shippo and asked "Where is the sacred jewel?" Shippo smiled and gave the jewel to Kagome. After regaining their strength Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome buried Rin and Jaken and marked their graves. Two months ago they had to bury Kikyo, Koga, and Kohaku.

After burying Rin and Jaken they put Inuyasha on Kilala's back. Then they put Sesshomaru on Ah-Un's back. They decided to return to Kaede's village. So Shippo jumped up onto Kagome's shoulder and they headed toward Kaede's. Once they got back to the eastern lands it's dark. So they made camp for the night. Miroku took Sesshomaru off of Ah-Un's back and laid him on the ground. And Kagome took Inuyasha off of Kilala's. And laid him on the ground. Then Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippo sat around the fire. Sango sighed and said "Sesshomaru is going to be very upset when he finds out Rin and Jaken are dead."

Kagome nodded and said "Yeah he will be. But maybe he'll let Inuyasha help him mourn. Now that they get along." Miroku yawned and said "Maybe he will now lets get to sleep." Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango bedded down and went to sleep. In the morning after eating. They put Sesshomaru on Ah-Un's back and put Inuyasha on Kilala's back. Then they continued toward Kaede's village. By mid afternoon the reached Kaede's village. Once at the old priestess's hut. They took Inuyasha and Sesshomaru into the hut. Kaede smiled and said "Good to see that ye are ok." As she looked at the group she asked "Where is the child and the imp that followed Sesshomaru?" Miroku sighed and said "Rin and Jaken died Lady Kaede." The old priestess shook her head and said "That's terrible."

Kagome checked on the brothers then sat next to Sango, Miroku, and Shippo. Then Kaede asked "Where is the sacred jewel?" Kagome took the jewel out of her pocket. The old priestess smiled and said "I'm glad to see the jewel whole again." Just then they heard moaning. They turned around and saw the brothers coming to. Sesshomaru sat up and asked "Where is Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un?" Kagome went up to him and said "Ah-Un is outside and I'm sorry Rin and Jaken are dead. We buried them where we found them." Everyone saw a sad look come upon Sesshomaru's face. Inuyasha looked over at his brother and felt sorry for him. For the rest of the afternoon. Sesshomaru sat against the wall without saying a word to anyone. In the evening Inuyasha woke from rest resting. He looked over and saw that.

Sesshomaru is still sitting against the wall. The hanyou stood and went over to his brother. Kagome, Kaede, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo. Are glad to see that Inuyasha is up. Inuyasha sat next to Sessohmaru and asked "Aren't you going to say anything?" Sessohmaru sighed sadly and said "I'm a fucking failure Inuyasha." Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and asked "What do you mean?" The demon lord sighed again and said "I failed to protect Rin." Inuyasha put his right hand on his brother's shoulder and said "You're not a failure. Remember that you tried to protect Rin with all of your strength." Sesshomaru nodded and said "You're right Inuyasha." With that said Sesshomaru laid down and fell asleep. Inuyasha then stood and went over to his friends.

The group talked quietly so they wouldn't wake Sesshomaru. Two weeks have passed and everyone that was wounded are better. Sesshomaru has decided to leave Kaede's village. He is outside with Ah-Un. The demon lord sighed and said "Well Ah-Un I'm going to go to search for a mate. And if I need you I'll whistle for you." Ah-Un groaned and nodded then he watched his master leave. Just then Inuyasha came back from hunting. He went into Kaede's hut and saw that Kagome is still there. The hanyou smiled and asked "Why are you still here Kagome?" Kagome hugged him and said "I love you and I want to stay with you." Inuyasha smiled and said "I love you too Kagome. And I want to stay with you too." After hugging Kagome he looked around the hut. The hanyou asked "Where is Sango, Miroku, Kilala, and Sesshomaru?"

Kagome sat down and said "Miroku, Sango, and Kilala went back to the demon slayers village. And Sesshomaru left to go find a mate." Inuyasha nodded and said "Go get Shippo we're moving to our own hut." Kagome smiled and left the hut. Inuyasha also left hut with fish he caught. He got Ah-Un and lead his small family to a empty hut. Ah-Un went behind the hut. While Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo went into the hut.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru is starting his search in the eastern lands. He knows that there aren't any female dog demons in the west or north.

So he'll search the eastern lands then the southern lands. He hopes find someone that will get rid of the loneliness that he feels. It's dark now so Sesshomaru made camp. He isn't hungry so he's not eating. Sesshomaru can go for six days without eating. He looked up at the sky and sighed. As he traveled today he missed Rin's humming, giggling, and arguing with Jaken. Sesshomaru sighed sadly, put out the fire, and went to sleep. In the morning he woke at dawn and continued his search.

At the demon slayers village. Sango and Miroku have rebuilt a hut. Now they are cleaning up the debris. From when Naraku's demons attacked. Yesterday Miroku admitted his feelings to Sango. They plan on starting a family after they are done cleaning up the village.

A month has passed Sesshomaru heading toward the southern lands. He still hasn't found a mate yet.

At Kaede's village Inuyasha and Kagome are mates. Unfortunately Kagome didn't get pregnant when she and Inuyasha mated. At the demon slayers village Miroku, Sango, and Kilala have half of the village cleaned up.

With Sesshomaru he is almost to the southern lands. When suddenly a pack of wolf demons surrounded Sessohmaru. The demon lord glared at the wolves and said "Get out of my way or die." The wolf demons growled and said "This is out territory so you leave or die." Sesshomaru sighed and drew Tokijin ready to fight. The leader growled and said "Attack my pack." The demon lord held up Tokijin and said "Dragon Strike." His dragon strike killed most of the wolf demons.

Just as Sesshomaru was about to use the dragon strike again. The wolves behind him jumped onto his back. Sesshomaru fell to the ground. When he did the rest of the pack jumped on him too. Suddenly Sesshomaru transformed as he did the wolves fell off of him. As they fell off the white do demon they dug their claws into the demon lord's flesh. Once all of the wolves were off of him Sesshomaru ran into the southern lands.
