Chapter 1 - Looking for Advice

Sesshomaru's Mother (A/N: I don't Know if Rumiko Takahashi ever gave a name to Sesshomaru's mother but my name for her is going to be Saki) has set out from the Shiro to travel to Edo to visit Rin in the village where her Step-Son lives with his pack. (A/N: Pack is Family for any inu youkai people which would include hanyou inus. As for the Step-Son thing I think that Saki would think of Inuyasha as her step-son since Rumiko Takahashi has never put anything in the manga that shows Saki's feelings toward Inuyasha.) Saki knew of Sesshomaru's feelings towards Rin and how they would become mates one day, Saki wanted to gift her soon-to-be daughter-in-law with the gift of Inu youkai aging once Rin grew to the age of 18 and life span so Sesshomaru wouldn't go through the pain of seeing his mate age and die in his arms.

As she neared the outskirts of the village she was greeted by her Step-Son and his pack ready for battle, Saki approached the pack slowly and in a non-threatening manner introducing herself and stating her business in the village. Thus Saki gives Kagome, Miruko, Sango, Kohaku and Rin a shard of the Meido-Seki to grant them the Inu Youkai aging for thos over 18 years of age but for the 2 members who aren't it will wait til they are 18 years old to slow their aging process, and the life span of inu youkai so Sesshomaru and Inuyasha will not out live there human mates and friends.

After the gift was present and accepted Saki requested she meet with the village priestess Kaede to show she means no harm to the village at all. Upon meeting with Keade and Saki's visit to the Shrine that once held the Shikon Jewel she join the Inuyasha Pack for a meal. Once dinner finishest she and teh women (Kagome and Sango) left to bath in the hot springs near the village.

"So, why did u truely come here to see us in Edo my Lady?" asks Kagome. As Kagome and Sango both start to use a bar of soap to wash their bodies as Saki watched in curiosity as to what Magic allowed the sense of jasmine and the site of bubbles to appear suddenly.

"First off please call me Saki, you are both Ladies of the Western Lands as members of my clan and Pack due to your pack membership and mating to my step-son Inuyasha, we are of the same rank now so no more of my lady or anything long those lines ladies. Secondly I am here because my Motherly and womanly instinct tell that Rin will become my Son's mate and I want to see to it that her education would include the Inu Youkai culture and behaviours so she has everything she needs to know to become the best mate to her son that she could ever wish for. And finally what is the magic you use to gain the sneat of Jasmine and get bubbles to appear out of thin air?" as she scan the weird containers standing behind Kagome.

"Well, Saki I though it would be more respectful to address you as my Lady but okay if you say we are of the same rank then I shall call u Saki. You are very correct that Sesshomaru will mate with Rin once she matures into a young woman, I have books on inu youkai and their culture and behaviours that I will teach Rin with and impart the critical information to her as I see fit like submission to her alpha and signs that she does love Sesshomaru as a mate-to-be for her. Is this to your satisfaction? Lastly this is a bar of soap that comes from my home." as Kagome pass Saki the bar of soap to use and clean her self with.

"Yes, I have too seen Sesshomaru's caring and loving gifts and time spent with Rin when he has visit us here in Edo and how they both act as if they are mates already, but a little less of the inu youkai behaviours on both ends. I know I was a Demon Hunter before I start my lovely family but as you can see with Inuyasha and Kagome I have no problems with mating as long as there is love between the partners" explains Sango as she looks over to Saki and smiles at her already becoming good friends with the inu Daiyoukai.

"I see, should I inform Rin that she has one of the greatest treasures this world has ever seen in the pam of her hand? I think she should also get some lessons on make-up and how to use it to capture my son's attention. Kagome dear, I know that you come from another time period and that you use the Bone-Eaters well to travel to your time. Sango I have notice that the sneat of your brother Kohaku changes everytime I am near him and it seems like he is attracted to me, he looks like he would grow into a handsome young man would it bother you if I would spend time with him and even court him to see if I have some feeling for him? I promise to always help him through the tough times and to help him on his demon hunting jobs. Kagome my dear what is in those bottles?" as Saki points to the bottles in question behind Kagome.

"I think we should leave that til she admits to one of us her true feelings towards Sesshomaru then she will find out that Sesshomaru is the best thing for her no matter what. I guess since you knew of this from the start you are a trust worthy person that I will come forward and tell you I come from about 500 years in the future and no I will not change anything in the future except to help our pack survive 3 little events that could effect cities in the future. (A/N: I know this Manga/Anime is set in 1997 but I will set it for 2012 thus the third event the largest know earth quake to hit a civilized city) I need u to guide Sesshomaru through his feelings and how to trust people like Rin but mainly me when these events are approaching I need all of us to leave Japan for a short time and to trust me where we will go and stay. (A/N: I don't want any reviews/flames about the other 2 events and how I deal with Inuyasha and his pack just know that due to the nature of the events I am making them leave the Country.) Otherwise everything else is minor events that we could ovide minding our own business . These bottles arew Shampoo and Conditioner for your Hair."

"Well Saki, getting to know you here today I see that you are like any and all the women who have, is and will be walking this land in need of companionship and I am true sorry for what happened to you and your late mate but Kohaku is his own person and the desicion is his to make. Yes I am his Older Sister and only family member still alive but I will not stand in his way to true love or anyone he see that will add him and/or is a best friend that he wants to keep as a confedunt. Just promise me what ever role you full or ever being his mate and wife you will not keep any secrets from him no matter what it is please just trust him as if he was and is your husband and mate at all times."

"I would never try to use you or blackmail you to help our pack due to your knowledge of what's to come and how we could gain power from it, but these events you speak of are interesting to me. Not to worry Kagome dear I will make sure that my son will trust you and whatever you tell him to be valueable and sound advise to act upon it. As for Kohaku I will be nothing but honest and a guide to him if need to gain him his life long mate and wife I will but I would never dishonour his choice in me if he so choose me in the future for his mate and wife." As Saki finishes her conversation with Kagome and Sango the wind begins to pick but as quickly as it pick up it calms down and standing in front of the women is Kagura appears in a spirity ghost form.
