Sesshomaru meets his match

I don't own Inuyasha or any other character from the manga "Inuyasha".
I am not Japanese, I have tried to use a few Japanese terms to try and preserve the flavour of the story. So if there are any mistakes, please forgive me and do point out the necessary corrections with the right meaning.
Chapter 1: Prologue
The battle with Naraku was over. Three years after the bone eater's well was sealed, Kagome and Inuyasha's love caused the spell to be broken and Kagome returned to the feudal era for good. In the meantime, Miroku and Sango had been busy raising a family. They now had twin daughters and a new born son. Kagome was busy learning all duties of a priestess so that she could settle into her new life here. Sesshomaru left Rin in lady Kaedae's care to help her learn to adapt to human life. He visited her often and gave her presents every time he came to visit her.
Although, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were not exactly the best of friends, a fragile bond was forming between the brothers though neither would ever be caught admitting it. Inuyasha in particular, was found to be subconsciously emulating his older half-brother. His speech was more mature and he was no longer loud and brash. Kagome was delighted at this change in Inuyasha. Now that Naraku was gone, the hanyou and his miko were free to pursue their relationship and Inuyasha was courting Kagome with ardent fervour in his own style. He would bring her a rare blossom from the ---- mountain which would bloom only once in 15 years or a pretty pebble polished to shining perfection by a stream. Kagome adored everything her Inuyasha brought her although she wished he would tell her that he loved her too. But Inuyasha being Inuyasha was too shy to make such a move and lay his feelings bare for all to see.
The only member of this delightful group without a mate (excluding the children Kohaku, Shippo and Rin of course) was Sesshomaru. The powerful inuyokai, the Lord of the West had yet to be caught in the pangs of amour. Oh! What sort of female would capture the interest of the masterful and seemingly cold Sesshomaru? Fate had an answer to that.
