A/N: Disclaimer for the story - I do not own Inuyasha and I do not profit from my stories. This story moves quickly in the beginning to get the characters where I need them to be, and then develops at a more natural pace. This was an idea I toyed around with and it took some research of Japanese legends, so I hope you enjoy it. I am not a master at the Inuyasha realm, but I will say upfront that I am giving Sesshomaru his arm back for the sake of my story like he had never lost it. This story is rated M, and will progress to many chapters deserving of that rating so I warn you ahead of time. There will be sexual content and violence. I hope you enjoy, and please review!
In the Heavens, Susanoo and Amaterasu sat as they peered down at the world beneath them.
Amaterasu sighed in frustration as she gazed upon the Earth below, "You realize this is a problem as well, brother? One that the Shikon miko cannot overcome?"
Susanoo huffed and nodded, "I see that it's a problem, but Sesshomaru is more than capable of defeating that meddling demon creation of Naraku, Ko Kira, without anyone's aid."
"Yes, he is, but he does not have the proper motivation to even care to do so. The Shikon miko must stay focused on her task to collect all of the Shards. In the meantime, we must set Sesshomaru on a path to opening his heart in order to help save those youkai mates and their offspring. If we do not stop Ko Kira, we will lose so many youkai and hanyou children to his curses."
Susanoo growled in annoyance at his sister, "Fine, we'll send her through. You know as well as I do that his attitude will not be wholly welcoming to her right now. Rin's presence has not yet shaped him as much as is needed, we are ahead of schedule by a few years. This was not the intended path, sister."
Amaterasu smiled softly and put a hand on her brother's shoulder, "Plans are always changing, and Ava is a Tennyo, she will be resilient and unwavering even in his presence. He will feel the connection as soon as he catches her scent as will she feel the connection when she gazes upon him. She will convince him to open his heart, one way or another."
Susanoo narrowed his eyes in thought, ever mischief he came up with a plan, "Perhaps he would be more receptive if Ko Kira manages to, catch wind, if you have, that they are intended mates, and attempts to attack our little Tennyo. Sesshomaru's cold and calculating nature may change when faced with the realization that if Ko Kira manages to curse her, he will never bring a child into this world with his mate."
Amaterasu gritted her teeth but nodded, "But hopefully, it will not come to that. Well then, let's set the lure and trap shall we?"
Susanoo smirked, "You know I get to resurrect one of our dearly departed demons from the well since we're bringing her through."
"Fine, if you must."
"Indeed, I must maintain balance, perhaps you should attract your dear Ava some assistance for when she passes through. She is certainly going to need it."
