A handsome demon sat on his throne with an awfully bored expression, he hasn't been ruling for more than three years and already his life was boring, and of course he knew why, he was once an explorer, a challenger but when his father died he was forced to take the throne, he ran his hands through his dark tresses and pondered on his life,
'You know what I need I need a mate…'he thought suddenly 'yes that's what I need at least then I can have someone die in boredom with me' he continued to think, smiling and revealing his canines
"Now how to go about with this Yun?" he thought aloud gaining the attention of blonde haired demon who stood silently beside him
"Go about what my lord?" he asked soft as if he hardly spoke
"I want to find a mate" he replied to the young demon, quite used to his soft-spoken personality for he was his advisor after all and his friend.
"Why not have a ball inviting potential mates?" he suggested
"No I hate those things, too formal for my taste I would rather…" he trailed off in thought " I'll search for her personally that way I can leave this stuffy castle. Which I haven't done for a while and also travel it would be fun wouldn't it, Yun" he said to his advisor with a smile
"When are you planning to leave my lord?" he asked
"As soon as possible"
"As in?"
"Tomorrow" he replied with enthusiasm and a grin, Yun was quite amused by his lordship's behavior but not surprised after all this was how he normally behaved "Announce this to everyone and have my things prepared for my departure tomorrow!" Yun bowed and left.

"Why not?"
"No"
"Please!"
"I said no, Ichiro" was his mother's stern reply
"But-"
"Did you not hear me?" she said looking down at the sweet demon chibi in front of her …sometimes she wondered how someone looking as innocent as he did was so much trouble,
He had a small head covered in a silver mane that went a bit past his shoulders it would've been longer if he hadn't been in trouble getting it burnt .She sighed remembering it clearly as she stooped to his level and looked into his gold eyes which were rimmed with sapphire.
"Ichiro you have to learn to stay away from the human village" he looked up with puppy dog eyes but she wasn't one to fall for it "Promise me" he seemed reluctant but after a glare from his mother, he nodded
"Good now back to training" she said standing and going into a fighting stance, her son took fives paces back and got into a fighting stance as well except his looked a bit awkward
"Come at me" she said and he shouted as he attacked with no hesitating

Sesshomaru sat in his office doing work …work was all he did lately .It was the only sure task which allowed him to avoid his 'dear mate', a feeling of hate swelled up in him and he looked outside then sighed and looked back at the papers in front of him. Today was not his day and you want to know why ….
Knock
He looked outside once more after he said 'enter' as soon as the words left his mouth the door opened and in walked the spawn of hell; he didn't bother looking at her for he knew it was her by her scent.
"Sesshy…" he almost grimaced at the nickname she gave him "look at this kimono I bought today" Sesshomaru humored her by sparing her a brief glance.
She spun around in a midnight blue kimono then stopped with her back to him looking over her shoulder seductively, if Sesshomaru was anyone else he would've scoffed at her display, he turned to look out the window, his mate was beautiful but she wasn't what he wanted and of course there was the fact that she was once in something with his cousin …he wasn't oblivious to that fact. He closed his eyes as he pictured Kagome in that kimono twirling around with a smile on her face before he would take her in his arm and ki-
"Look at me!" he heard breaking his train of thoughts, but he didn't do as she demanded "Are you-"
"Why are you here?" he asked nonchalantly, she stared at him with furrowed eyebrows opening her mouth to speak but Sesshomaru spoke again "Is that all you were here for? Then leave I have no time or patience for your bothersome presence" she looked taken aback by what he said but it wasn't like this hasn't happened before so like always she spun around and stormed out of the room angrily making sure to slam the door for that was the only way she could express her anger any angry comments and she would face death straight in the eyes

Shippo walked towards with his hands in his green sleeves, he looked around the age of fourteen in human years .Shippo had matured nicely with a boyish cuteness, his red hair was a bit longer but was still held in a pony tail by a green ribbon, his tail wasn't as puffy as when he was younger and was wrapped securely around his waist.
He spotted the danger from a mile away before he became road kill and immediately stepped to the side as an enraged Takumi stormed by, his eyes shined with amusement
It seemed every time she went to his study she left angry, it was a day to day routine and he would've thought she would learn and stop trying. Shippo grinned as he approached the door of Sesshomaru's study and knocked although he knew Sesshomaru sensed him already
"Enter," he was told and he opened the door and poked his head inside first,
"You should really stop sending her on a rampage every time she comes to see you." he stepped inside fully "Some one could get killed " he said jokingly ,Sesshomaru glared at Shippo but Shippo had lived with him long enough to know that right now he wasn't serious.
Shippo chuckled then he sighed and suddenly said "I wish …mom was here" he said looking at the ground sadly. They hadn't found her, even after six years of searching… they got no word of her whereabouts. It was like she was a ghost, they had heard of a few encounters of course but no one knew if it was her for sure.
Shippo had started calling Kagome mother for he knew that she was a subordinated mother and always had been, he started seeing that clearly after her disappearance and Sesshomaru as his father since if it wasn't for him Takumi would've banished him and everyone else from the western lands.
He looked up and noticed that Sesshomaru was looking at him "We will go to the village" said Sesshomaru
"I haven't been there for a while so that would be good" he said "I haven't seen Sango and Miroku for a while I wonder how they're doing." he said more to himself "Do you think Rin should come"
"It is better if she didn't we don't want to stay away too long, she will have to stay here" Sesshomaru replied.
"So we can leave right away right?" Shippo asked as he turned to leave but looked over his shoulder at Sesshomaru for a response which was a nod of the head before he left.

Ichiro's mother came back from her hunt with a deer over her shoulder, she dropped the deer to the ground and raised her eyebrow at her son as she took in his appearance, his clothes was a bit shredded and his hair had twigs stuck in it, underneath his right eye were a few scratches which seemed like a cat had tried to claw at his eye.
"What happened?" she asked with concern, he looked down with a guilty expression
"Um, well…."
Ichiro watched as his mother left the campsite after telling him to get a fire started since she was going hunting
'I can do that afterwards' he thought with a mischievous glint in his eyes then sprinted off 'Mom said I shouldn't go in the village but she said nothing about going nearby' he thought as he swerved in between the foliages .He almost gagged when a scent hit his nose and he stopped on a dirt trail and covered his nose
"This is what mother was talking about it does smell horrible" he thought aloud as it was muffled by his sleeve 'But that won't stop the strongest demon alive… me!' he thought arrogantly as he tore a sleeve and tied it over his nose and mouth before he heard giggling from behind .
He quickly leaped into a tree just as two children raced by, a boy who looked to be around nine and a girl who seemed to be around five.
Ichiro being the curious little demon followed the two children and found himself on the outskirts of a village but he didn't dare go any further.
He looked around the village at the various huts and the scattered humans doing their tasks, finally his eyes spotted the two children he had seen earlier as they stopped in front of a hut not too far from the center of the village, but a screech caused him to look up at the sky as he saw five huge demon birds coming towards the village.
He would've left but Ichiro was curious as to how the humans would deal with this situation.
Ichiro looked back to the village and saw the villagers dashing inside their huts as if the huts could protect them, Ichiro was small but he knew that the huts were no sort of protection but then his eyes went back to the hut he noticed before and saw as the children were ushered inside by a black haired man who was dressed in a monk garbs, he wielded a staff and a woman who wore demon slayer's clothing and had her brown hair in a pony tail with a huge boomerang on her back .
The clothing they wore made warning signs go off in his head for his mother warned him about people like them who killed demons without hesitation but Ichiro couldn't help but stay.
He watched as the woman and man stood confident in fighting stances as the demon circled over head, soon they swooped down with a screech intending on having the humans for lunch .
Ichiro hadn't noticed the small cat until it transformed into a large cat demon with large canines and fire on all four of it's paws ,the demon slayer took off her boomerang and threw it expertly at one of the birds slicing the demon in half before it could fall on the huts ,
Ichiro saw the monk chant before throwing a scroll in the sky which deflected the others as they approached, the demons must of realized for they immediately fled, Ichiro watched as they passed over the very tree he was in when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
He looked in front of him then leaped out of the tree dropping to the ground with a loud thud; he heard the crashing and the caving of branches before he looked up to see what happened.
The branch he had been on was torn completely off, he widened his eyes
'What if I had been there' he thought frightened when he heard the approaching sound of his attacker, he quickly got up although his body protesting because of the pain he suffered and quickly ran off aimlessly through the forest he didn't run back to camp cause he knew his mother would do something worse to him than what they would do.
The branches from low trees held onto his clothing as he ran passed them but he had no time to stop to carefully take them off so his clothing tore and he also received a few scratches to the face.
He jumped in a bush as his hiding place and peered out to see that he lost them, he grinned despite his near death encounter and backed out of the bush.
'Ha-ha take that human …I was too much for –' he trailed off as he turned around to face the two human and demon now in front of him ,the demon slayer glared at him and took a step forwards and Ichiro took a step back
"Sango wait maybe we shouldn't be so brash …he is but a child" the monk suddenly suggested, the demon slayer named Sango briefly glanced at the monk
"Even a small demon like him can cause trouble just as easily as a fully developed demon, Miroku" the slayer said annoyance
'What are they getting at?' he thought
"Let's just ask him first" he said then looking at Ichiro "demon …are you the controller of those bird demons who attacked our village?" he asked with a serious expression, Ichiro shook his head unable to speak.
"Miroku did you expect a truthful answer" asked Sango
"Why would he lie my dearest …he could've just summoned his demons if they were his" he said sweetly, she rolled her eyes.
"That may be true but still…" she said turning to him slightly as they overstated, forgetting that he was even there, even the demon converted to it's original self and Ichiro took this as a good sign.
'Okay then' he said quickly leaving and in the nick of time too far as soon as he entered the campsite and took a breather, his mother entered the campsite and he straightened up and put on a huge …fake smile.
"So…what happened?" his mother asked again waiting for an answer from her son.
"Um…" he stalled.
"Ichiro?" he sighed then looked up at his mother right in the eyes…. And lied.
"I went off by myself" he started which was the truth before he looked back at the ground. "I wanted to hunt for today's meal but failed" he continued there was silence and he wondered what his mother's response would be or if she bought it "I'm sorry" he said making sure his voice sound cracked up and that did it.
"You're forgiven…but don't do anything stupid like that again" she said and he looked up at her with a smile.
"I won't he said but inside he was cheering with triumph.
"Now…"she began going over to the deer that was almost forgotten "help me clean this deer"
"Clean the deer!" he grimaced "Ew!" his mother laughed at his reaction as he followed behind her while she dragged the deer away to find a river.
