What's up guys! The vote is in and I decided to write a sequel to The Family Secret! I know you guys are happy and this sequel picks off right where the original story left off. So if you've never read The Family Secret, then this story will be very confusing to you. I'll say it once more, but just for the fun of it. I do not Inuyasha or Sesshomaru. :)

The Unexpected Heir

Chapter 1: The Honored Guest

"So Inuyasha, you really are my son." Sesshomaru continued inside the Western Castle when a servant came and greeted him. The old man bowed low and began to talk. "Sesshomaru-sama, I wondered where you were. Is there anything you would like?" The demon lord would have told the servant to leave him alone otherwise he would kill him. But then, he remembered that he did need something. Tomorrow, he would have guests and he would have to have rooms for all them.

"Prepare 5 rooms for I am expecting some guests tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru." The servant bowed to him and was about to get the rooms ready until he spoke up again. "And make sure that one of the rooms is fit… for a prince. I expect nothing less than what I ordered, understood?"

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru. I will make the arrangements immediately." The servant ran off into another direction while Sesshomaru walked to the wing where his room was. He wasn't tired, but he had to get out of those bloody clothes of his. Sesshomaru never liked to smell his own blood on him for it was a symbol of defeat for your blood to cover your clothing. He instructed one of his servants to draw a bath for him. Once the servants finished putting the water in the tub, they left the demon alone. He removed what was left of his hard, black armor. Sesshomaru then untied the obi and took off haori to reveal a rock hard chest. Once his haori was off, he removed his black boots and his blood stained pants.

Sesshomaru stepped into the steaming water and it relaxed his sore muscles. He closed his golden eyes and thought for a bit. Inuyasha will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. If those humans weren't with him, he would be here in a few hours. If Inuyasha comes here and I begin to treat him as though he were prince, he would truly become even worse than he already is. But now that Inuyasha's coming here, how am I suppose to treat him? Sesshomaru shook his head and stopped thinking about that because he just wanted to relax at the moment. He opened his gold eyes and soaked in the heat from the water a little longer. After he finished his bath, he picked up the clothes that were on the floor and put them on him. Sesshomaru then walked out of his private bathhouse and onto his bedroom. Once he opened the door, he walked towards the balcony and stared beyond the landscape of his lands. What will happen tomorrow? What will happen now that Inuyasha wants to become my heir, my…son? He pushed those meddling thought into the farthest corner of his mind and was awaited tomorrow.

The next morning

Sesshomaru woke up to hear lots of yelling and the scamper of many feet. He got off his bed and saw many servants and Jaken looking as though he were lost. When he saw Sesshomaru, he walked right up to him with a confused look. "Lord Sesshomaru, what is going on today?" Sesshomaru walked in front of him so his back was turned to the little imp.

"We are expecting some guests today Jaken. Make sure that the gates are open so they can enter, and make sure that you respect them otherwise, there will be consequences." Jaken started to run outside to open the gate. Sesshomaru went outside into the garden to get a better smell of the air. He could smell Inuyasha's scent, along with those human companions of his. He waited patiently for the honored guest to come to the castle.

Jaken kept walking until he opened the gate and stood outside it. He looked out and tried to see if they were there yet. I wonder who these guests of Lord Sesshomaru are? Maybe it's the lords of the other lands, but if that is the case then I must hide Rin! For if other demons knew about her, all hell would break loose and my life would belong in the netherworld. Suddenly, there were a couple of scents coming from above him, as though they were flying. Are they here? He looked up and saw some familiar figures there that have just landed on the ground. His jaw practically dropped when he saw them. It was Inuyasha, with Kagome and Shippo on his back. Miroku and Sango on Kirara. Jaken had to make them leave for he knew the consequences of this.

When Inuyasha was close enough to Jaken, Kagome got off of his back, along with Shippo. Sango and Miroku jumped off Kirara, she returned to her kitty form and rested herself in Sango's arms. Inuyasha looked up and saw the glory of the Western Castle, the castle that he would be prince of. I'm coming…father. Just then, Jaken started to yell in the loudest voice that could be heard. "What are you doing here HALF-BREED!"

"I WAS INVITED! Get outta the way, I'm coming through!" Inuyasha tried to walk through the gate, but Jaken was blocking his every move.

"Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't invite a half-breed into his castle! The only way that would happen is if milord had lost his mind." Inuyasha growled for he was getting very impatient and it was growing by the minute.

"Then I guess he's lost his mind 'cause he asked me if I wanted to come here and here I am!"

"Don't make me laugh. We are having guests here and I do not want them offended by the presence of a half-breed such as yourself."

"This honored guest is getting pissed! I'm already offended, but just lemme through and I won't kill you with my claws."

"Puny half-demon!"

"Jaken." He heard a stern and annoyed voice coming from behind him. Jaken was afraid to look behind him, but he just had to look. He looked up to see Lord Sesshomaru and he did not look happy to saw the least. Inuyasha also looked up to see him, and he had a big smile on his face because now, Jaken was going to get his just desserts. "Yes, milord?"

"You will learn to hold your tongue to my heir and son. Inuyasha is the honored guest now step aside so they can enter." Jaken's eyes widened so much; it looked as though they were going to be ripped right out of their eye sockets. Inuyasha pushed him aside so he and his companions could enter the gates to the castle. His…his…his SON AND HEIR! When could that possibly have happened? Jaken continued to stare at them until he realized he was still on the ground.

Inuyasha looked up at Sesshomaru and mentally laughed. When they all were inside, everyone's, but Sesshomaru's, jaws dropped for the castle was huge and the grandest they have ever been to. "I should have made an exorcism here years ago." Miroku stared in wonder, especially when some servants came.

"Lead them to their rooms. Inuyasha, come with me." While Inuyasha and Sesshomaru walked to the east wing, Kagome and them walked into the west wing.

"Where are we going?"

"I am taking you to your room Inuyasha." Inuyasha raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Why couldn't you get one of those servants to take me there?" Sesshomaru paused a little and gave Inuyasha one answer.

"There is something I must do with you." Inuyasha tried asking more questions, but Sesshomaru remained silent and didn't answer anything after that. Inuyasha crossed his arms in defeat. If this is what it's like to have a father, then I have no idea what I'm missing. Finally, they stopped in front of a room and Inuyasha stared at the door. "This is your room." Sesshomaru opened the door and Inuyasha's eyes widened in awe. Everything is that room had to be expensive and apparently, the bed was big enough for 5 different people to sleep in at the same time. Inuyasha walked into the room and landed on his bed.

"This is seriously mine? You ain't joking?" Sesshomaru stood at the door then closed it as if he ignored his son's question. "Inuyasha, take out your fang."

"My what?" Sesshomaru had to resist the urge to roll his eyes at his son. "Take out the fang that is inside you."

"Hell no!"

"I'll do it then." Before Inuyasha could stop him, Sesshomaru cut his chest open again and his fang fell out along with some of his blood. "What the hell did you do that for!" Inuyasha yelled out. He had barely been there for 10 minutes and he already wanted to kill Sesshomaru.

"Quit your whining Inuyasha. That wound will heal itself in a few hours." Sesshomaru picked up the fang and found the symbol that was on it. He licked the blood off of that part so that his saliva was covering the crescent moon. He walked over to Inuyasha and held that side to his forehead; he soon began to press it against his skin. Inuyasha grunted in pain and his eyes began to glow red. "Resist that urge to transform Inuyasha. This will only last a minute longer." Inuyasha began to scream out in pain, but that only made Sesshomaru press the fang harder. When his forehead began to bleed, he removed the fang from him.

"What the hell was that about!" Inuyasha tried to touch his forehead, but Sesshomaru grabbed his wrist before he could do that.

"Let me explain something to you Inuyasha. Do not touch your face, otherwise the blood will mix onto your fingers and that mark will not form."

"What mark?" Sesshomaru released Inuyasha's wrist and put his hand down by his side. "That mark will turn into a Red Crescent Moon and when it forms, you will be my official heir to the Western Lands." Sesshomaru turned around and started to make his way to the door, but Inuyasha's voice stopped him.

"When will it heal?"

"The New Moon." Inuyasha's widened and he growled out in frustration. "Is something wrong Inuyasha?"

"Nothing's wrong." Inuyasha said through his teeth. Sesshomaru walked out of the room, leaving a furious Inuyasha behind. Nothing except that's the night where I transform into a human!

That's all for now! Hope you all like it so far, and please tell me how I did! Remember, review and I'll update!
