AN: I hope everybody enjoys this story.
FULL SUMMARY:(AU) Since the beginning of time, a war between good and evil has consumed the land of Japan, a war that only a few people know about. As the battle with the Alphas of the Underworld rages on with the Spiritual being, Sesshomaru, the leader of the Alphas never thought he would fall in love with a creature he despised the most. A Spiritual being.
Sesshomaru Taisho has always hated the idea of becoming the next Demonic King and ruler of the Alphas. So instead he fought in the war with the spiritual beings and killed anyone who got in his way. However one night, he was compelled to save a young girl. A girl who not only looked like a Goddess but was also his enemy as well.
Rin Saiyuki never believe in the stories that her family told her as a child. That some war was raging on in the city and that one day she will have to fight in it. However, one night that all changed when a mysterious man saved her life. A man with golden eyes. Soon after that, Rin is thrust into his world and finally learns the truth about everything.
Not knowing that they are no longer enemies, Sesshomaru and Rin soon realize that the desire that races through their hearts can no longer be ignored and now in order to survive in the world, they must first learn to accept the truth about the very war that threatens to destroy their love.
Enjoy.
Chapter 1. How is this possible?
"Can someone please explain to me how our little cousin is still living in denial?" Sango asked as she and the rest of her cousins continued to talk among themselves. Sango had three younger cousin that she adored with all of her heart. The Higurashi twins Kikyo and Kagome were both twenty-two years old and quite possibly two of the greatest fighter Sango has ever seen. However for Rin Saiyuki, life as a spiritual being hasn't been easy for her.
For Rin, no one in her family can really blame her for not understanding the truth about the so called war that they are fighting in. In order for Rin to fully understand the history of her family as well as accepting the truth about who she really is, she must first gain her powers. Of course, gaining her powers is going to be tricky. Especially since Rin is the stubborn type.
"C'mon Sango. You know the rules?" Kagome asked after as she pour herself a glass of wine. She handed the bottle to her older sister, Kikyo. While Kikyo poured herself a drink, Rin couldn't help but roll her eyes. Even though she loves all three of her older cousin, she couldn't help but worry about them as well.
Legitimately Sango, Kikyo and Kagome believe that there is some kind of supernatural parallel universe within their very own world and that every night her older cousins fought in this crazy war that Rin was having a hard time believing in. Everytime she saw her cousin "fighting", she literally saw them fighting with the air around them.
Although, she did wonder about some of the injuries that they ended up receiving. None of those type of injuries were self induced and that nasty cut on Kagome's arm couldn't have been from Sango or even Kikyo. Yea the girls always fought but they never physically hurt one another.
"She is right Sango. Rin is going to actually have to see an Alpha. When an Alpha is in its true form and God forbid that Rin actually sees the Alpha, then Rin will finally receive her power" Kikyo said before taking a sip of her wine. After placing the wine glass down, she added. "I mean don't you remember how we all got our powers?".
"True. Now can one of you ladies please explain to me why that rule even exists? Sango asked. Looking into Kagome's eyes, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Out of their entire family history with the Alphas, Kagome's experience was the most violent.
Kagome scoffed after swallowing her drink, thinking about her past and what that bastard Hojo did to her left a sour taste in her mouth. Thank the heavens that Hojo is now dead. "Because the Gods have a wicked sense of humor" Kagome said sarcastically while staring into her drink.
"Okay guys can we seriously change the subject" Rin asked after taking a sip of her diet coke. Since she was under 21, young little Rin Saiyuki isn't allowed to drink some wine with her family.
"Okay. So tell me Kagome when was the last time you talked with Inuyasha Taisho?" Sango asked teasingly while wiggling her brows. Kagome on the other hand was not having it and ended up glaring at her older cousin.
"Seriously Sango?" Kagome asked
"Wait how the hell do you know Inuyasha Taisho?" Rin asked. Curiosity got the best of her when Sango mentioned a member of Taisho family. Japan most wealthiest family and quite possibility the entire world.
"Because young Inuyasha Taisho has a major crush on Kagome" Sango said.
"But of course we all know why that relationship will never work" Kikyo said.
"But why not?" Rin asked. It couldn't be because Inuyasha is ugly or because his family has more money than they could spend. Sure she and her entire family come from a very long line of religious people but Rin is pretty sure that it wouldn't kill Kagome to spend some alone time with a Taisho.
"The Taisho men are Alphas" All three of the girls said. Rin couldn't help but bang her forehead up against the table that she and her cousin were sitting at. It wasn't even the end of the night and she was already getting tired of hearing the word Alphas and Spiritual Beings.
"Are you freaking kidding me? Enough with the Alpha story already or I'm going to start throwing in some punches" Rin said as she slammed her hand against the table. All this make believe stories were really staring to get on her nerve.
"No we are not kidding and we never will. Especially when it is about the seriousness of this war" Kikyo said as she glared at Rin. Which only made Rin even more upset.
"You guys are fighting between each other for God's sake. How stupid do you think I am?" Rin practically yelled as she continued to glare at all three of her cousin.
"Pretty stupid seeing as though you can't see what is in front of you" Sango said casually before taking a sip of her drink. Fighting with a girl who is as stubborn as Rin never ended so easy. However the girls couldn't blame Rin for not believing because the truth of the matter is that they were pretty much the same as Rin is right now before ever gaining their powers. Not that they could ever hate the Gods as well as the angels for what they had created. The only problem is that being a Spiritual being during this kind of situation is quite possibly the hardest thing ever. Even more difficult than fighting with Alphas or anyone who is evil.
"Enough you guys. Besides we got orders. Alphas are being spotted at Sakura park" Kikyo said after staring at her IPhone.
"Dear God, I cannot believe that I am hearing this" Rin muttered quietly to herself before grabbing all three of the girl's wine glasses. Convincing her cousin that what they were doing is idiotic was just plain out stupid at this point. When the "Alphas" came out to play, her cousins rans after them.
"You know what? I am tired and I'm going to head to bed" Rin said as she tried to leave the dining room. However Sango stopped her just before she stepped one foot out of the room.
"Oh hell no, you are coming with us. I think its time for you to understand the real truth about all of this" Sango said. Rin remained quiet but continued to glare at Sango. Rin remained by her cousin's side as they all grabbed their weapons and headed out the door.
Tonight will truly be the longest night that Rin has ever had.

"Can someone please shut him up before I kill this fool" Sesshomaru said as he rubbed the bridge between his nose. He should have figure that tonight wasn't going to end up pleasant. Then again, when is his life ever pleasant. For Sesshomaru Taisho and the rest of his warrior brother, life consisted of two things: Fighting and sex. And honestly Sesshomaru would much rather be fucking some beautiful woman rather than having to deal with his younger brother Inuyasha.
"What did you just say asshole?" Inuyasha said while glaring at the back of his older brother's head. Sesshomaru didn't even move an inch while he continued to massage any sanity he has left.
"Now, now children let's just be reasonable shall we. I mean after all you were the one who started this argument in the first place Inuyasha" A man said before placing his hand on top of Inuyasha's left shoulder.
"Oh bite me Miroku. Who asked you anyway?" Inuyasha said as he shifted all of his anger towards Miroku. The two of them may have been best friends way before they ever became Alphas, however there're were time where one of them wanted to bash the other person's head right into a wall.
"Enough!" Sesshomaru yelled before throwing his small dagger right at Inuyasha. Thankfully for Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's dagger missed him and landed right on top of Inuyasha's head. Hearing the blade stabbed right into the wall above him, instantly made the young Alpha and everyone around him freeze from fright.
Whenever Sesshomaru got pissed, people started dying. Literally.
"I swear you people never learn do you" A voice entered the room and in came Naraku Kiso. Considered to be the most feared out of all the Alphas, even among the Alphas themselves. Naraku Kiso isn't just your typical Alpha. He is also the Leader of the Spider demons.
"Where the hell have you been Kiso?" Sesshomaru asked. Staring at his best friend, Sesshomaru couldn't help but wonder about some of the things that Naraku did whenever he was away from the Alphas. As the leader of the Alphas and God forbid the next Demonic King, Sesshomaru knew he must remain cautious. Even though he trusted Naraku with his life, there was still something slightly odd about him.
"Needed to take care of a few things with the Spider clans. Some Zetas were spotted near the forest" Naraku said as he took a seat on the chair next to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru on the other hand couldn't help but stare suspiciously at Naraku. If Zetas were spotted near the forest, then the rest of the Alphas would have been given orders to eliminate the threat. Regardless if it was in the spider colonies or not.
"Hmm I take it your mission was successful?" Miroku asked. After he and Inuyasha calmed down after their near death experience with Sesshomaru both of the Alphas walked over to the bar on the opposite side of the room and poured themselves a drink. Funny how liquor seemed like the perfect cure for them.
"Sadly a few Zetas got away and I haven't been able to locate them since" Naraku said. After Miroku handed him a glass filled with Bourbon, Naraku immediately took a few sips of the drink. He could still feel the eyes of Sesshomaru piercing through his soul and if Naraku wasn't careful enough then Sesshomaru might just end up killing him by accident. They already lost one Alpha when Hojo was killed by that angelic bitch Kagome Higurashi, the group wouldn't be able to handle it if they lost another one especially if that person is Naraku.
Still it amazed Naraku and even the rest of the Alphas that Inuyasha had a serious crush on Kagome. If it weren't for the fact that they were mortal enemies, Naraku could totally see Inuyasha and Kagome hooking up or at least have some sort of friend with benefit thing going on.
It sure did piss Naraku off whenever one of them went after Kagome and Inuyasha got in the way in order to protect her from the Alphas. Seriously Inuyasha? Sooner or later that bitch is going to have to die.
"Well boys it looks like our night isn't going to be boring after all. Zetas are being spotted at Sakura park" Inuyasha said as he stared at his IPhone. The alert came in just in time too. Maybe fighting some Zetas might relieve Sesshomaru's little twitch and who knows maybe the holy gals from Higurashi shrine might just show up as well.
As the boys begin to strap in and grabbed all of their weapons, each one of the were just itching to spill some Zeta's blood and still have some time to find some pretty girl at the Blood Maiden to hook up with.
Yes tonight is going to one hell of the night for the Alphas.

After arriving on the rooftop of one of the buildings that surrounded Sakura park, Kagome had a clear view of the park. Anyone who entered the park will be seen by her. Whether they were good or evil. However, Kagome became concern about one particular problem.
Where the hell are the Alphas at?
"Kikyo are you sure it was Sakura park and not somewhere else?" Kagome asked her sister Kikyo via walkie-talkies. Across from her at the other side of the park, her sister Kikyo stood on one of the building's rooftop.
"Of course Kagome. You know my senses are never wrong" Kagome heard her sister say. This was not good. Their powers and even their senses were telling them that the Alphas were indeed here in the area. The only problem is that they couldn't see them.
Something is way off and Kagome did not like it one bit.
'Damn it' Kagome mumble to herself before reaching out to Sango. "Please tell me you see anything down there?" Kagome asked. She noticed Sango entering the park alone which could only mean she left Rin at a safe place. After taking her attention away from Sango for one split second, she noticed Rin standing on top of the building beside her looking completely bored with herself.
Kagome sighed in relief after noticing her dear cousin is in fact safe. She wasn't to keen about bringing Rin along with them, in fact Kagome is half way tempted to flash dance her way to Rin and teleport her back to Higurashi Shrine. However, for now Kagome is going to have to keep a close eye on her. She may not be a Spiritual being yet, however the Alphas will still go after her the moment she sees her.
All around the world Spiritual beings or anybody who his born with angelic powers were being killed by the Alphas and the Alphas are now winning this war. A life filled with war and death is not something that Kagome wishes upon anybody and that includes her enemies. However, like she said earlier, the Gods truly did have a sense of humor.
"Are you guys seeing what I am seeing?" Sango said. Kagome immediately snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the direction that Sango was facing at.
What the hell is that?
At the far side of the park, Sango and the others were able to see an Alpha fighting with someone, or rather something. Whatever it was, it wasn't a spiritual being. They appeared to be tiny black imps with rather large teeth that were too big for their small bodies
"Kagome look out!" Sango yelled and Kagome quickly turned her head around and noticed an imp right behind her. He was holding a rather large scythe and from the looks of it, its about seconds away from swinging that bloody weapon and instantly killing her. The imp may be fast but Kagome was faster. Using her ability to flash dance, Kagome instantly teleported herself away from the imp and that giant weapon. As she reappeared behind the imp, Kagome immediately grabbed her bow and immediately aimed an arrow right at the small creature.
"May the Gods have mercy on your soul" Kagome said before shooting the arrow right at the imp. With her powers of purification, Kagome was able to purify the imp's soul and instantly killing it. She sighed in relief after the little creature body began to disappear. Kagome always did hated fighting, however she will do whatever it takes to survive in this bloody world.
After running back to her usual spot, Kagome noticed that more little imp like creatures were beginning to enter the park and the rest of the Alphas were there as well. Whatever it is, it looks like the Alphas could use a little bit of help. As a spiritual beings, their job is to protect the human race and destroy any creature that gets in their way. Those imp almost killed Kagome so now it is the duty of the Spiritual beings to kill those little monster. Regardless of who and what they are.
"Let's go ladies" Kagome said and immediately flash danced her way into the park. After landing in a more secluded area, she waited for her cousins to arrive. After staring at the building where Rin is at, She spotted the young girl staring at her cell phone. She prayed to the Gods to keep her younger cousin safe.
"Please be careful Rin" Kagome whispered to herself just as Kikyo and Sango stood next to her. Sango had her Hiraikotsu ready for battle and her sister had just pulled out her bow and arrow.
"What the hell do you think those little things are?" Sango asked her cousins.
"Whatever they are it seems like they are an enemy to the Alphas" Kikyo said just as she aimed an arrow at one of the imps that the Alphas were fighting.
"And if that is the case then they are an enemy to the Spiritual beings" Kagome said right before getting her bow and arrow ready for battle.
"Ready ladies?" Sango asked her cousin but before the girls could answer a figure with long silver hair landed right in front of them, causing all three of the girls to aim their weapons at the figure. Kagome on the other hand began cursing to herself after realizing who that person was.
"Do that again and I swear to all that is holy I am going to kill you Inuyasha" Kagome said as she glared at the Alpha warrior in front of her.
"Calm down darling and if you ladies are going to fight then just know this. Those little creature over there needs to die. Tonight we are not your enemy but instead you are our ally against those nasty bastards and the only thing that is stopping the Alphas from killing you guys" Inuyasha said after turning his head around and looking at the three girls that were standing behind him.
"What are those things anyway?" Kikyo asked as she continued to be on the lookout. If Inuyasha is indeed telling the truth then Kikyo and her cousins are going to have to help the Alphas in getting rid of them.
"They are known as simply the Zetas and believe it or not they are trying to get rid of the Underworld" Inuyasha said.
"Well will you look at that ladies. It looks like we found ourselves a new weapon against the Alphas" Kagome said a little too happily which only made Inuyasha more angry with the girl.
"Sorry to disappoint you darling, but the Zetas are killing anybody with unusual powers. It doesn't matter whether you are unholy or holy, the Zetas only mission is to destroy us all" Inuyasha said.
"Well who the hell created them. Surely it couldn't have come from our side?" Sango asked.
"No one knows exactly. All we know at this point is that if we don't kill them then they will kill us, and that includes you three and rest of the Spiritual beings" Inuyasha said. All three girls nodded their head and have decided on what they were going to do. Kagome who remained glaring at Inuyasha decided to be the one to speak.
"Alright we'll help you but only for tonight. Your kind doesn't sit well with my people" Kagome said. Inuyasha's smirk only grew bigger after hear Kagome's little comment.
"Why don't you come home with me tonight and maybe you'll find out just how well you and I are together" Inuyasha said before giving Kagome a little playful wink. It only made Kagome even more upset and dear God she seriously was tempted to kill this Alpha.
"Bite me Inuyasha" Kagome said with a glare on her face.
"Only if you agree to become my Beta then maybe I will" Inuyasha said. Suddenly he felt something wet land on his face. It only took him a few seconds to realize that it was Kagome who literally spat on his face. By the look on her two cousins face and evil look in Kagome's eyes it wasn't that hard to figure it out.
"Not even in your dreams will I ever become yours Taisho" Kagome said as she continued to glare at the demon before her.
"Well then I guess it will be one hell of a nightmare. Definitely looking forward to that one" Inuyasha said. Kagome simply rolled her eyes before hearing one of the Alphas calling out to Inuyasha.
"Stop talking with your fucking girlfriend and come help us Inuyasha" By the sound of the voice, it wasn't that hard to figure out that it was Sesshomaru who was yelling at Inuyasha. Everything about Sesshomaru screamed death and that included his voice.
"Let's go ladies" Inuyasha said before grabbing Kagome's hand and leading her and her cousin towards the battlefield. With the help of the Spiritual beings and Kagome's unusual and insane powers off purification, it wasn't that hard to destroy any Zetas that got in their way. After about an hour of fighting among themselves with the Zetas. The battle was finally finished and thanks to the Spiritual beings, the Alphas were victorious.
"Now unto bigger problems" Naraku said as he suddenly appeared behind Kikyo and placed a dagger right on her pretty little neck. Kikyo immediately dropped her weapon and placed her hand on top of Naraku's hand. Kagome on the other hand, quickly grabbed an arrow and aimed it right at Naraku's head.
"Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you or are you forgetting about my deadly powers. Shoot that damn arrow and I will kill your sister. Not even your powers of purification can save your sister from my deadly poison" Naraku said as he watched Kagome and that insane powers of her. He may be right but if that arrows does hit him, then his life as an alpha is over. Kagome wouldn't be able to save her sister from Naraku's poison but she could still kill Naraku.
"Damn you Naraku" Kagome sneered at the Alpha before her.
"Kill him Kagome. Forget about me" Kikyo whispered softly at her sister. Kagome was ready to shoot the arrow and put an end to Naraku's life, however is it really worth it if she looses her sister as well. She just couldn't do it, there was no way in hell she could Kill Naraku and endangered her sister's life as well.
"Put down that weapon Naraku, the Spiritual beings are not our enemy tonight" Inuyasha yelled at his fellow Alpha comrade. Naraku on the other refuse his order and Kikyo remained trapped between Naraku's body and his dagger.
"I don't take orders from the likes of you Inuyasha. Don't forget who our real enemies are" Naraku practically growled the last part. The rest of the Alphas and Spiritual beings were both in shocked and pissed off as well. Suddenly Sesshomaru quickly disappeared from behind them and a few seconds later, everybody in the park heard a loud scream coming from one of the rooftops that surrounded the park.
That scream came from Rin.
!
!
!
!
It was already close to midnight and little miss Rin Saiyuki is about two seconds away from killing something or rather someone. Her three cousins were still in the park talking to a few men and by the looks of it, Kagome had one of her arrows pointed at one of the male.
What the hell is going on down there she wondered.
From the moment her cousin left her alone on top of this building, Rin spent most of her time looking at her cell phones or counting all of the stars that she could spot in the night sky. If her cousin wants to play some childish game then so be it, Rin refuses to watch the girls make complete fool of themselves.
Now as her curiousity got the better of her, Rin began to wonder about the four male that was talking to her cousins. One of them in particular had both a menacing yet rather beautiful face. With his long silver hair and the purple tattoos all over his arms, Rin was curious to find out who that male because something about that male seemed awfully familiar.
As she continued to watch over the group that were standing below, Rin has yet to realize the danger that was just a mere steps away from taking her very life.
As if sensing a pair of eyes on looking right at him, Sesshomaru couldn't help but to look up at the person who was staring at him. High above at one of the buildings that surrounded this park, he noticed a young girl looking right at him. Despite being human, she had the most beautiful face and features he has ever seen. Looking almost identical to the Spiritual beings in front of him, Sesshomaru couldn't help but wondered if that young girl is somehow related to Kagome and the others.
Suddenly a small little figured appeared a few steps behind Rin and judging by her lack of senses, Sesshomaru came to the conclusion that the young girl isn't a Spiritual being. Which mean that if someone doesn't act soon, she will most likely end up dead.
Just the thought of someone like her dead made Sesshomaru's blood begin to boil and at that moment Sesshomaru unleashed his true power and disappeared from the group. No one is going to kill that young girl. Right when he landed on the rooftop right beside her, not knowing that he was in his true form, Sesshomaru heard the young girl scream.
That was when all hell broke loose.
!
!
!
!
The moment the girls and the rest of the Alphas began to ran towards where they heard the scream coming from, the night sky and the buildings around them became consumed by a big bright light shooting right up towards the sky. Once the light disappeared, Kagome and others noticed a rather large white dog on top of the building. The same building where Rin was at.
"Don't tell me that dog is..."Before Kagome was able to finish her question. Inuyasha was able to answer that question. Everybody who live in the underworld knew exactly who that person is.
"Sesshomaru..."Inuyasha whispered softly. Kagome stared into the eyes of the young alpha, hoping to find some form of lie or even deceit in his eyes. However, Kagome couldn't find any because all she saw was the truth in Inuyasha's amber eyes.
"No..." Kagome whispered softly as a small tear escaped from her eyes. If that person really is Sesshomaru and Rin somehow saw him than that means that bright light that they just saw came from inside of Rin.
"I'm so sorry Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered softly at Kagome. Everybody, including the Alphas themselves knew the story about how Spiritual beings have to gained their powers. Once seeing an Alpha in his true form, a Spiritual beings will automatically become one of the Holy ones. No ordinary human has the power to see an Alpha in his true form. That is why it is so important for Spiritual beings to exists. Only they have the power to see what the humans cannot.
Feeling completely helpless and useless the girls waited for Sesshomaru to return. Hopefully he will have Rin with him. Despite his reputation and his deadly aura, Kagome is sure with herself that Sesshomaru will return with Rin. After watching Sesshomaru completely destroy the Zeta that had his sights upon Rin, they immediately saw him transform into his humanoid self. Once he was back to normal, he immediately picked the girl up and held her in his arm as if she was the most precious thing he has ever held.
Thank the heavens. The man does have a heart.
Suddenly Sesshomaru reappeared with the group and this time he had Rin in his arms. Now the girls were able to tell that Rin did indeed pass out and it wasn't just because she saw a giant white dog. The light that they just saw shot out of Rin's body and the pain alone is enough to cause a person to pass out. Kagome remembers that pain all to well and now that it is too late, she could only pray that once Rin wakes up, she wouldn't hate the girls for what happen on this night.
It's time for Rin to finally accept the truth about everything and everybody and this time she has no choice to but to listen to her three cousins.
"Oh Rin I am so sorry" Sango said as she watched helplessly as Sesshomaru places Rin into Kagome's arms. No one could see Kagome's facial expression because of the fact that her longs bangs were covering her eyes, however everybody saw the tears that began to roll down her face.
After gaining her powers, Kagome made a vow to herself that she wouldn't allow Rin to enter this horrible world that they fought in. Despite her stubborn ways, Rin is the type of girl that hates everything that has to do with fighting, which was why she refused to believe the stories that her family tried to tell her.
How the hell is Kagome going to explain to Rin that she must do the one thing she hates most in this world, to fight and to kill.
"You four are welcome to come with us. I promise to keep you ladies safe from Inferos" A voice said. Kagome immediately raised her head and noticed Sesshomaru looking right at Rin before placing his hand on top of her head. He added. "After all it is my fault that this happened to her in the first place".
"Thank you Sesshomaru" Kagome whispered softly. Even though she appreciated the man in front of her for saving Rin's life and what he is doing now, however she will not hesitate to kill him if he makes one wrong move. After all, he is the reason why Rin must enter this world and when the time is right, Kagome will kill him for it.
Not even the rulers of Inferos nor the Gods of the Heavens can stop Kagome from purifying and destroying Sesshomaru. Even if she looses her life while doing so, Sesshomaru will pay for what he has done.

AN: Yes I know I made Kagome seem like a ruthless bitch but don't worry she will eventually grow to love Sesshomaru like a brother once the stories starts to heat up. Plus I'm getting a little tired from reading some stories that make Kagome seem a little weak and vulnerable. Trust me in this story, Kagome is far from being weak.
Also this story is based around Sesshomaru and Rin pairing, although there will be some scenes of Kagome and Inuyasha hooking up as well.
Also please forgive me for any misspelling and grammar error that you may find. English is not my first language so I'm pretty sure there were a few errors that I had missed. Remember that reviews make me very happy so please be sure to let me know how I am doing so far. If you guys have any ideas or even some request, trust me I shall be very happy to hear them.
And just to let everybody know, I have posted most of the notes I have so far for this story on my profile, so feel free to take a look at that if you are having a hard time understanding some of the words that I have posted.
Now that Chapter 1 is finally finished I am off to start on chapter two :D
Until next time
See ya
