BUAHAHAH okay well on with the story!!

Sesshomaru, lord of the Western Lands, was sitting in one of his many studies, gazing through a window, down onto a garden where his human child, Rin, ran in the flower beds. He wasn't pondering anything, he was just watching the child enjoy herself, and every once in a while, fall down and start to giggle.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" the annoying voice of Jaken, screamed. "Sesshomaru-sama! Your sister has arrived! She has already kicked me out of her way five times!"

Sesshomaru turned toward his servant, "And you believe that I am not aware of her presence?" the lord said as Jaken fell to the floor whimpering about being a fool. "I assume I must greet Noriko, shouldn't I?" He said as he headed toward the entry room.

The lord arrived in front of his sister in a mere matter of seconds, due to his demon blood. The moment he had arrived, Noriko had run to him and grabbed him into a tight hug.

"Sesshomaru, brother." She said lovingly. Sesshomaru looked down upon her, the same way he always had when she felt the need to do something so pointless. She let go of him and his nose twitched slightly.

"Four pups?" he said suddenly and she grinned widely and nodded. "So you insisted on visiting me to tell me that you are carrying four heirs for your mate to choose from? You always could have written me or sent a servant to tell me."

"Well truly that is not all, my brother." Sesshomaru looked at her questionably. "Let us walk around the palace." She said indicating she did not wish to speak of this in front of others. Sesshomaru nodded as they started walking toward the southern wing, where her quarters were.

"As you must have realized, things have actually gone over well since father," she said the word in disgust as she once again started to speak, "sent me away for my arranged union with Lord of the South. Kasugano turned out to not be a brute like you and I believed fox youkai were." She smiled a bit when she mentioned her mate's name. "Although I'm still envious of the fact that father never made you do anything you didn't wish...that is until InuYasha came along..."

"We're getting off topic" Sesshomaru said abruptly as his anger level grew up a notch.

"Right. Anyways, since I've become the lady of the Southern Lands, I've become more...mature and calmer, as I'm sure you've noticed" Sesshomaru chuckled at this comment remembering the day their father had left them alone for a few hours. Noriko had been bouncing around the place sniffing everything and begging Sesshomaru to play with her, while Sesshomaru quietly sat in one spot waiting for his lunch.

"And you know that males mate much later than females, and that's why father never arranged anything for you. So I've decided to visit you, little brother, and tell you that you're old enough to find this out... Sesshomaru, it is time for you to find a mate..." Sesshomaru looked at his older sister in an odd manner.

"I'm not sure if I fully understand you Noriko...You mean that I am to find a mate at such a young age? I was lead to believe that I needn't worry of that for a few more decades, otherwise I would have started searching long ago...or are you saying I am beginning to look old, dear sister?" he asked almost jokingly.

"Ha ha very funny Sesshomaru." She said as she rolled her eyes. "I am to stay here till you find a suitable mate, but don't feel rushed, because I must approve of one first, then you must get to know her BEFORE you mate with her, it's the gentleman thing to do."

"I see..." Sesshomaru stopped walking and Noriko followed his lead. "This is your bedroom, the rest I'm sure you remember on your own, if not ask a servant."

"...Sesshomaru, I've noticed since the moment I reached your grounds. This place stinks of human, yet a clean one...why is that brother?"

Sesshomaru was silent for a while before he responded, "Not too long ago, I took in an orphaned human girl. I have cared for her since then."

The corners of Noriko's mouth twitched, "You're softening brother"

"Her name is Rin, be respectful sister." Sesshomaru turned to walk away.

"Of course," Noriko went into a low mock bow, "My lord "

Sesshomaru ignored his sister's jokes and walked back toward the study he had been in earlier.

Meanwhile

"KAGOME! I've been waiting for you all day! How are we supposed to find jewel shards if you're late?" InuYasha yelled at Kagome as the girl from the future climbed out of the well that transported her from time, to time.

"I'm sorry InuYasha. I got caught up talking to friends of mine after school." Kagome said as she started to walk toward the village.

"I don't care what you were doing! We need to go find those shards!" InuYasha said as he grabbed Kagome's arm.

Kagome looked down at InuYasha's hand holding onto her arm. "InuYasha...sit." She said as she walked away and InuYasha fell face forward into the ground.

Ever since she had caught InuYasha embracing Kikyo in the forest again, she couldn't stand him touching her. It wasn't that she disliked him in anyway, she just didn't like the feeling that he touched something dead before he just touched her, and that grossed her out completely. She had known for quiet sometime that InuYasha truly was meant to be with Kikyo. He loved her, and she loved him, and that's what made them happy.

Her thoughts were stopped suddenly when Shippo came running out yelling "Kagome! Kagome! I've missed you so much Kagome!" as he jumped into her arms, while being followed by Sango and Miroku. Kagome hugged the fox kit as she would her child, if she had one.

"It's good to have you back Miss Kagome." Miroku said with a bow.

"You guys I've only been gone four days." Kagome said with a laugh.

"Yes we know, but InuYasha is always very testy when your gone." Sango said as they all started to walk into Kaede's hut.

"Yea and this time he threw me when I made fun of him!" Shippo chimed in.

"I CAN STILL HEAR YOU!" InuYasha yelled as he ran into the hut. "Come on you guys let's go search for the shards! If we want to get any more before Naraku does we better get go-" InuYasha stopped and sniffed the air angrily.

"What is it InuYasha? Is it Naraku?" Sango said getting up and picking up her huge boomerang.

"No...worse." InuYasha said starting to growl.

"What could be worse than Naraku?" Miroku said confused, "Who is it InuYasha?"

"My brother" InuYasha said as he jumped out of the hut, the others following close behind.
