This story is a first for me. It's my first one based on Sesshy so he might be OOC sometimes but I'm doing my best. This was also a request from Gogeta558. You are my new best friend! Requests make me even happier tan rviews, but reviews are still great. ENJOY! ^-^ EDITRD, might do once more though.

Sesshomaru, The great dog demon lord, was lost? No, definitely not. Sesshomaru never got lost. It was just impossible. He simply... Didn't know where he was. Something had messed up his nose or something. It must be. He recognised no scents in the area. Where was he, well... Soon, he would find out that home was far, far away.

He turned into a ball of white fluff - sorry, I mean white energy - and flew at an alarming speed to a mountain he could just see in the distance. He got there in seconds even though it was kilometres away. At the top, he scanned the area. His eyes seeing much further than any humans' could. He saw strange towns with huge buildings and roads that were dark instead of the ususual dirt. The place reeked an unhealthy stench. He would have covered his nose, but he was to full of pride to do that.

A strange creature walked out from behind a nearby rock. It was white with a black face and horn that stuck out the side of its head. Its bright red eyes looked at Sesshomaru cautiously.

"What demon are you?" Sesshomaru noticed the scent coming off the creature was similar to a normal demon's.

"Demon? I am no 'demon' as you say. The humans call me Absol so that is the name I take." The creature responded. It sat down, still watching the Dog Demon Lord.

"Where are you from?" Absol asked.

"This Sesshomaru has no reason to tell you anything." Sesshomaru walked right past the Absol.

"Ah, Sesshomaru is it? I can tell you this: I have lived far longer than most of the other Pokémon here. I, therefore, am much more knowledgeable. I can answer any questions you may have." Absol told him.

"I don't need your assistance."

"But I don't believe you are from around here. You must be curious." Sesshomaru couldn't deny it. He was annoyed that this - this 'Pokémon' as it had called himself - could figure him out. He hated how inquisitive dogs were.

"Fine then, tell me where I am." Absol turned to face him.

"This is Mount Silver, as the humans call it. Pokémon have named it the "Holy Mountain" since our legendary brothers live here." He answered, intelligence clear in his voice.

"Pokémon?" Sesshomaru couldn't help himself.

"Ah, you must really be from somewhere far away. We are the creatures of this world. We roam the plains, skies and seas." Absol looked curiously at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru nodded and began to leave.

"Excuse me Sesshomaru, but where are you from?"

"This Sesshomaru does not answer to anyone." Was the reply.

"Ah, come now. I shared my knowledge, don't you think it only fair to share yours?" Absol was treading on dangerous territory. Sesshomaru considered killing Absol right then. He did have a point though. The information had been interesting enough.

"I assume, a different world." He finally answered.

"And I suppose you are leaving this mountain in search of finding a way back?" Absol walked up to Sesshomaru who was still turned away.

"May I accompany you? My knowledge about this world is vast and may prove useful to you." Absol requested. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.

"What do you gain from this?"

"New information. About this world and yours if you're willing to share." Sesshomaru thought about killing the insolent creature again. Strongly considered it. Then he thought about Rin. The little girl who wore a orange kimono and had a tendency to annoy Jaken. She would want to go along with this creature. Want to learn all she could from it and be its friend.

"Do not slow me down or you shall be left behind." Sesshomaru finally agreed. Absol nodded.

"Do you walk or fly?" He asked the dog demon.

"I shall walk." Sesshomaru jumped off the mountain and descended gracefully. Absol leaped from rock to rock quickly, obviously used to the path. He landed only 3 seconds after Sesshomaru who had already started walking. Absol caught up and shook his fluffy neck to get the loose dirt out. They walked in silence. Not even their footsteps made a sound.

For two days they walked. Not saying a word to each other. Sesshomaru was just fine, but Absol was becoming hungry and dehydrated. He knew the land well. There would be a stream in the next half kilometre. Then he would request a rest. He didn't understand Sesshomaru. He could guess that he wasn't much of a talker and rather cold hearted easily enough. It was blatantly obvious to anyone who even glanced at the strange man.

There was the stream. It flowed gently over rounded pebbles. It was crystal clear.

"Sesshomaru, may we rest for a minute? I'm sure you would also need some water." Absol suggested. Sesshomaru didn't seem moved.

"You haven't asked a single question. Now would be a great time to if you are curious about anything you have seen." He tried again. Sesshomaru seemed slightly intrigued. Only slightly though, but that was enough. Sesshomaru sat against a nearby tree. Absol walked into the river and dipped his head to drink.

"How many of you are there?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Of my kind? Not many. We are a rare species. Absol were forced into the mountains by humans. We were not suited for the climate and most perished." Absol climbed out, his black claws clicking against the pebbles. He shook himself dry far enough away as to not get water on Sesshomaru.

"And of 'Pokémon'? How many species are there?" Absol had to think of the answer.

"About 400 that I personally know of. Including evolutions, of course. There are probably many more that I will never even meet. This world is vast and there is only so far one can go before age takes its gift of life from us." Absol finally said. Sesshomaru nodded. Absol lay down on a grassy patch under a tree near the Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru, what exactly are you. You look human but do not smell like one." Absol asked after a long silence.

"A dog demon. Lord of the West." Sesshomaru reluctantly answered. He didn't show he was reluctant, but he was. Well, except the part about "Lord of the West". He was proud to flaunt that around. He realised afterwards that Absol wouldn't know how much power that title held and how much power was needed to hold that title.

"A dog demon? You are truly interesting, Sesshomaru." Absol praised. "Can you speak to humans?"

"I prefer not to. Humans are inferior and weak." Absol didn't question his answer. They sat in silence again. Sesshomaru stood.

"I'm moving on." He informed. Absol stood and followed the demon away from the stream.

"Do you have any destination in mind?" He asked. Sesshomaru kept quiet. His silence was answer enough. He had absolutely no idea where he was going. Absol sighed internally. There was a long journey ahead of him.
