InuYasha Meets Someone New

"InuYasha, I'm comming for you. I will kill you for killing my father." a girl said. Her eyes were fogging over from her rage. Her father was killed mearley because InuYasha wanted his sword to become lighter. She was running so fast that even Koga couldn't catch up to her. She destroyed everything that got in her way. Then she saw some one in her path. She stopped. "Move or die."

"No. This Sesshoumaru doe not take orders from low lives" he growled.

"At least my father didn't die from minor ingeries now move, I'm off to kill the one who killed my father." Sesshoumaru was about to kill her for inssulting his father but he saw the her eyes were fogged over with rage. He walked up to her and punched her. "What the hell was the for!" she growled.

"You were controled by your rage. Now you are not." Sesshoumaru said. She growled again.

"That's how I wanted it to be now move." The girl was getting irratated. That wasn't a good thing.

"Who are you off to kill?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"InuYasha your half brother." Sesshoumaru turned around and grabbed her by her throat.

"InuYasha will be felled by me. Do yuo understand?" Sesshoumaru growled.

"I will never take orders from you, son of the one who pinned my father against a cliff! Unhand me, vile dog!" she growled. He wouldn't let go. "How'd you like me to cut off this arm just like InuYasha cut off the other one? It'd be simple." an evil smirk come to her face.

"Kill InuYasha and I will kill you." Sesshoumaru let go she dropped down and landed on her feet.

"All you will do is reunite me with my father, Sesshoumaru." that was all she said before she disappeared. He didn't know how she knew so much about him and InuYasha but he was going to find out. He followed her scent he was heading in the direction of InuYasha. She must have another way to track them because she wasn't a dog demon and couldn't rely on her nose. Suddenly her scent stopped. 'Where'd that wench go?' Sesshoumaru asked himself.

"Looking for someone?" he turned around and saw a mortal standing there, she was wearing what the demon girl was wearing.

"Not you but how is it that you wear the same clothes as the demon wench I'm looking for?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"The person you are looking for is a half demon. Unlike most half demons I don't hide and cower. Luckily for me I only stay this way for about an hour. Sometimes sooner. Then I transform back. Kill me now if you like I don't care, I will kill InuYasha even if I have to do it from the afterlife." she said.

"What it your name?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Ryukotsusea, daughter of Ryukotsusei. He didn't know about me, if he did he would kill me but still, that gave InuYasha no right to kill my father. I know all about you and InuYasha and all of my father. I know that if he knew about me he'd kill me but he is still my father." Sesshoumaru didn't know that his father's killer had a daughter.

"How do you know about us when your father didn't teach it to you?" Sesshoumaru was very curious.

"When one of my parents die there memories get transfered into my brain. It is painful, if you survive you get to keep the memories if you don't then they are lost forever. It took me three days to recover. I have also been watching you and InuYasha at times. Good time to go! Bye!" she had transformed back into a demon and took off. Now that Sesshoumaru knew what he wanted he let her go. She was running as faast as she could to get to InuYasha by night fall. She got there just as night was falling.

"InuYasha, who's that?" Shippo asked.

"I dont know. Who the hell are you?" InuYasha called.

"Ryukotsusea." was the only answer he got.

"InuYasha, do you thing it could be the daughter of Ryukotsusei? It's possible, right?" Kagome asked. InuYasha was looking to where the person had been.

"Very good Kagome, InuYasha I'm behind you now." she said they all turned around she was sitting in a tree "I can't beleive you managed to kill my father when you are so slow! I think I should train you and then kill you. It'd be more a match that way." She said.

"You kill me? Feh, if your father couldn't do it then you cernanily can't!" InuYasha said.

"Well, I know that your weakness is when Kagome is in danger or Kikyo. I know that you transform on the night of the new moon. Anything I missed? Oh right, when people say things like 'I've never seen you dress like a slob before', you hit Shippo or Miroku. That's about it I guess." InuYasha, Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku were amazed at how much she knew of InuYasha.

"How do you know all that?" InuYasha growled.

"I've watched every battle with you and Sesshy. Speaking of him I met him on the way here. He said that If I kill you he'd kill me. So I don't think I'll kill you just yet, I'll stick around and maybe help out and train you some. But just maybe help you kill Naraku. I can easily kill him all you have to do is distract him have some one come up behind him and stab something through his heart. It's as simple as that. I also saw your match with Muso, if you had killed him Naraku would be dead." Ryukotsusea said. By then every one was staring at her with thier mouths open. "Close your mouthes, you're not fish." They closed thier mouths.

"Pervert!" Sango yelled as she slaped Miroku across the face. Miroku was smiling.

"Didn't know he did that, I wasn't there when he met up with you and Kagome. Keep away from me monk if you want to live." She said to the monk. Miroku wasn't even listening.

"You know, you don't smell like a full demon." InuYasha said.

"I'm not." she said InuYasha looked at her like she was crazy. "I am a half demon like you. My father didn't know about me. If he did I would be dead. But he is still my father. I'll be right back." She jumped off the tree and walked into the darkness of night.

"Interesting, we might want to keep her with us. She could prove useful." Miroku said. Sango shook her head.

"We should find out more about her though." Kagome suggested.

"I'll go. It would be better." InuYasha stood up and went to find Ryukotsusea. She was in a tree.

"What do you want InuYasha?" she asked. He was slightly surprised at how she knew her was there.

"More about you. I didn't even know you existed." InuYasha said.

"I'm not going to talk about my past. I vowed never to look back. If I do then all the pain will come back. With me if I look back on something painful the pain comes back and I can't move. The place where I got hurt opens back up and I start to slowly die away. I'll show you but, you have to promise to bring me back by getting my mind on something else. Do you promise?" She asked.

"Yes." She shook her head and closed her eyes. Suddenly she started bleeding. "Ryukotsusea time for dinner, come on wake up!" She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Dinner sounds good. But I don't think I'd be a good idea. We might want to get back before they start thinking things." She got up and jumped down. "Um, how are we going to explain the blood?" she asked.

"Well say a branch stabbed you." InuYasha said. She nodded and walked behind him. "Oh yeah, when we get back I think someone might ask you to stay and help so don't be surprised. If Miroku touches you just punch him or slap him or something. He shouldn't do it again." InuYasha told her.

"InuYasha! We were just about to go look for you. Your ramen is ready, do you want some, Ryukotsusea?" Kagome asked. She shook her head.

"Someone is comming. be on your gaurd." she said. No one else senced anything. But they took her advice. InuYasha's hand was always on his swords hilt, Sango had her hiraikotsu ready, and Kagome had her bow as close as it could be.

"Ryukotsusea aren't you going to get ready? If you can't identify them you don't know how strong they are." Kagome said.

"I'm fast enough so I don't need to get ready and I already know who is it. It's Sesshy. I'm not sure why he's comming but it might be because of me. If I need to I will lead him away." She said. Her eyes were closed, but they kept moving like she was looking at something. "InuYasha draw your sword and Kagome nock you arrow. He should be here in about five seconds be ready." The next thing Kagome knew Ryukotsusea was in front of InuYasha and her sword was drawn. Her sword was red and had a blue glow around it. It was also about as tall as Kagome.

"What kind of sword it that? It looks more powerful than Tetsusaiga." Miroku said.

"It is. I don't mean offence but I could hack Tetsusaiga to pecies with this sword. He's here." she said. They almost didn't hear her.

"I will not fight you brother, I am here for Ryukotsusea. Stay out of it. Hmmm, you say you are going to kill him but instead you join up with him. How pathetic." he grolwed. Ryukotsusea didn't even pay attention.

"Did you come here to fight or did you come here talk, pretty boy?" she asked. InuYasha didn't know anybody that had the guts to call Sesshoumaru pretty boy. Sesshoumaru growled. No one dared call him pretty boy.

"Ryukotsusea you shouldn't have said that!" InuYasha said. "He's going to kill you." She wasn't listening.

"Well pretty boy, are you going to stand there a flaut your pretty boyness or are you going to fight?" Sesshoumaru growled but ignored it.

"I will not fall so low as to being provoked by names." Sesshoumaru said. He drew his blade and put presure and the hilt. The sparks shot out at her but were blocked but a sheild. "Scared?"

"Who would be scared of you pretty boy? Your shiney hair might blind me, but I'm not scared. Too bad your nails aren't painted. That might make me scared. Scared the you might be gay!" she burst out laughing. InuYasha also started to laugh. Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku were fighting back the urge to laugh. One by one they burst out laughing.

"Wench, you die now!" Sesshoumaru grolwed she snapped out of her laughing fit just in time to block his attack.

"Taking advantage of me not being aware, how unhonrourable. I think you need to go back to school!" she pushed Sesshoumaru away and her sword transformed into tsai's

"What the hell!" InuYasha asked. He didn't think a sword could transform into other weapons. He stared with his mouth open.

"InuYasha close your mouth!" Ryukotsusea yelled, even in the middle of battle. They coudldn't tell who was winning. Even though Ryukotsusea had smaller weapons she was moving so fast with them InuYasha couldn't see them move. Suddenly Sesshoumaru broke through her defence and cut her across the stomach. She grolwed but didn't fall,. "Sesshoumarum you will pay for cutting open my stamach!" she tried to move but couldn't. "You cut me with your talons! Bastard!" she growled, then fainted.

"She was the most powerful opponet I have faced in years, but she was no match for me." Sesshoumaru turned to leave, but then Ryukotsusea got up. Her eyes were red instead of blue.

"Sesshy, running away? Wimp. Come back here and fight." She wasn't transformed, like InuYasha did when he was with out Tetsusaiga. "No Kagome I don't transform like InuYasha does. I just tap into more power. Come Sesshy, I'm not going to run." She said. Sesshoumaru used his whip and poisoned her. "That's not going to work. I have my fathers powers to. That makes me stronger than even you Sesshy." Sesshoumaru move his whip so it dug into her wound. She collasped and fainted once again. He flicked his wrist and pulled her toward him. He caught her and walked off.

"What are you going to do with her, Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked.

"That is none of you business, wench." He left and left everyone in silence.

"What are we going to do?" Kagome asked.

"Use her plan to kill Naraku. All we have to do is lure him out with a Shikon Shard." InuYasha said. Sango nodded.

"That's all we can do. We wouldn't stand a chance against Sesshoumaru. Espescialy now that he's mad and has Ryukotsusea." Sango said.

"I agree, all we have left to do is kill Naraku. After that we only have one shard left, Kohaku's. Sango I think for that part you should stay away. I don't mean any offence, I just think it's best." Kagome said.

"No, I want to be the one to kill Kohaku, for repay for all the people he killed. It is my duty as his sister." Sango said.

"Alright but you have to promise me something. Promise that if things get to hard for you, you have to stop." Kagome said. She was going to say more but,...

"Prevert!" Sango took her hiraikotsu and hit Miroku on the head. "I promise Kagome." Sango said.

"Sango, you know that my hand is cursed, I can't help it!" Miroku said. "I will try to restain myself, I can't promise more my dear Sango." Sango gave him a glare and he ran away. Sango was satisfied.

Ryukotsusea and Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru was carrying Ryukotsusea on his shoulder. He was well away from InuYasha and his friends. He put Ryukotsusea down under a tree. He kicked her twice. She started to stur. Ryukotsusea stood up and walked around in a daze.

"Ugh, I feel like I was hit with a one ton boulder! Ow!" Ryukotsusea collasped on the ground and clutched her stomach. Then she remembered what happened. She jolted up right and glared at Shesshoumaru. "Why did you take me? I was going to train InuYasha so he would be somewhat of a challenge and then I would have killed him. Take me back" she said.

"This Sesshouaru does not take orders, I give them. I will not take you back. I am takeing you to my estate. There you will train and take a place in my army. You will also be training other demons." Sesshoumaru said.

"I will not! I would rather serve InuYasha then train people! I'm not a person who likes to be around other people." Ryukotsusea said. She turned her back on him and crossed her arms over her chest. Sesshoumaru picked her up and threw her back over his shoulder. Luckily her wound had already scabed over.

"You are comming!" Sesshoumaru said forcfully.

"Put me down! Put me down! I'll walk! Just I'm not going to train anybody!" Ryukotsusea yelled. She kept beating her fists against his back. Finaly she gave up and just...hung there. Once and a while she would growl and tell him to put her down but he didn't. She had one idea so she could be but down. "I give you my word that I will not run off and will do whatever you say. But, on one condition. I don't have to train anybody." she said

"Fine. You will met Rin soon. We have to find you a suitable outfit. I don't want her to dress inaporapratly." Sesshoumaru looked her up and down getting her figure into his mind. He was going to go to a town and get her clothes. "Turn around." Ryukotsusea turned around. "Do not leave this spot."

"Ya know it would be alot easier if I just went with you" Ryukotsusea said.

"I will not scare more people than nessasary. Now stay here and do not move."Sesshoumaru turned and went into the town.

"Does he always do things the hard way?" she asked herself. She sat down and closed her eyes. "It's way to quiet." she said. She looked around. Her eyes feel on a lone figure. "What do you want?" She growled drawing her sword. It didn't transofrm into anything because she didn't will it to. The figure came out of the dence woods.

"How did you know I was there when I had my scent and aura masked and I was standing in the darkest part of the woods wearing all black?" it was a man.

"You call that dark? It's not and you stupid little spells are nothing for me to figure out. I am a dragon demon. I have my fathers powers, the great Ryukotsusei powers to be exact." she said.

"Hmmm. So he did die. Felled by a half demon I heard." the man said.

"He was. But still he was great." she growled. Sesshoumaru still hadn't come back.

"That blade is truly odd." the man said with curisuosity.

"Yes it is. It was crafted especially for me." Ryukotsusea told the man.

"What can it do?" he asked.

"Watch." she willed the blade to turn into tsais. It did. The man was truly shocked.

"I have never seen a sword that can change shape! Does it have a name."

"No, when the time comes it will. This blade is the only thing I have left in this world. Beside my mother, but she is insane." she said. She didn't care though."Why are you in the woods alone? Surley a pretty person as yourself is not travling alone." the man said.

"I am waiting for someone. You better leave before they get back. Do not watch from the shadows. They will kill you if they find you." she said.

"Very well. I might see you around?" the man asked.

"Might." she said. The man nodded and walked into the woods. Just as he disappeared Sesshoumaru showed up.

"Who put up the barrier?" Sesshoumaru asked as he handed a blue kimono to Ryukotsusea.

"Huh? What barrier?" she asked.

"Someone put up a barrier around you. Didn't you feel it?" She shook her head.

"No, I did someone strange though. They were watching me from the shadows. Even though it wasn't dark where they were standing. When you came they disappeared." Ryukotsusea said to Sesshoumaru.

"Hmmm. We will look into this more when we got my estate." Sesshoumaru said. "Now put that kimono on." he said.

"Turn araound and I will!" she said. Sesshoumaru turned around. She slipped her kimono on as fast as she could. She pulled the obi around her and tied it. "You can look now."

"We should leave now. Rin will be getting worried." Sesshouamru said. Ryukotsusea nodded.

"Lead the way." Sesshoumaru picked her back up and a cloud formed under his feet. "That's I lack words to describe it! Um, can you put me down? I don't want my wound to open up and get blood all over this kimono. It's just to pretty." Sesshoumaru started to put her down. "Wait! Will I fall through?" she asked.

"No." Sesshoumaru put her down on the cloud. She grabbed him just to amke sure if she fell that he would catch her. After about five minutes she let go and walked around to strech her legs. She had them locked straight while she was standing still. Soon she saw a massive castle.

"Um, is that where you live? It's so big!" she said without waiting for an answer.

"Close your mouth." Ryukotsusea did as she was told and closed her mouth. They landed. A little girl came running from the castle. She threw herself around Sesshoumaru's legs.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" she cried happily.

"Rin this is Ryukotsusea. She will be staying with us." Sesshoumaru told the little girl.

"Hello, um how do you pronouse your name it is hard for Rin." Rin said.

"Just call me Ryuko." She smiled down at the little girl.

"Okay! Hello, Ryuko! Can Rin show Ryuko to her room?" Sesshoumaru nodded. "YAY!" Rin took Ryukotsusea's clawed hand and pulled her to her room. "Ryuko's room is right next to Rin's room!" Rin opened the door and showed Ryukotsusea around. It was so big!

"This is really my room?" she asked.

"Rin she needs to be with the generals quarters. They are on the other side of the castle." Sesshouamru said from the door way.

"Okay, Rin'll show Ryuko her room. But Rin still wishes for someone to be near Rin." Rin pulled Ryukotsusea down the hall and toeards the genreals quarters. When they got there Ryukotsusea was really tired. They had walked up and down numerous flights of stairs and it felt like she had walked all the way around the world 15 times. Rin wasn't even tired.

"How do you mangage to walk so much and not be tired? I am getting a cloud thing like Sesshoumaru-sama's!" she said jokingly.

"Rin and Sesshoumaru-sama are used to it. Ryuko will be to." Rin said.

"Trust me, I will never be used to it. Are you going to show me the room or what?" she asked. Rin nodded and opened the door. This room was bigger than the one Rin had frist showed her. "Whoa! I seriously get to live in this room?" she asked

"Yes, meals are served at 6, 12, and 6. You must be dress like a general for them. Rin'll help you. You have 20 minutes until dinner. Get ready." Sesshoumaru said and left.

"Okay, so, dress me up!" Rin ran over the the closest and pulled out a green men's kimono and armor.

"They should be Ryuko's size! After that Rin will do your hair how it is supposed to be." Ryukotsusea went behind the changing screen and put on the stuff Rin had handed her. They fit perfectly. She came out and Sat down at the vanity in her room. Rin pulled over a stool and got on top of it. Rin brushed her hair and put it into a loose pony tail. "Ryuko can either have it this way or up in a tight bun." Rin inforemed her.

"Well we still have a few so how about we start heading to dinner so I can try to memorize the way." Ryukotsusea said. Rin nodded and walked out the door. Ryukotsusea followed. Rin lead the way and as they went Ryukotsusea was memorising the way. She had an amazing memeory. They got to the dinning hall just as the bell rang. Servents rushed around prepareing dinner. "Rin since we got here early can you tell me why I am a general when I didn't even have to work for it?' Ryuko asked.

"No Rin can't it's not for Rin to tell. Ryuko has to ask Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin and Ryuko have to go in now." she told Ryuko. Sesshoumaru was already there when she and Rin walked in. Rin told her that she was going to be sitting next to her. The other 3 generals walked in. The first one that walked in was wearing blue, the next one was wearing orange, and the last one was wearing yellow. Sesshoumaru nodded to each of them in turn.

"I have called you all to meet my newest general. Her name is Ryukotsusea. As you can tell her rank is the highest. I have seen her fight she is very skilled. Ryukotsusea this is General Shouron." he said. The general in bule nodded to her. He had long black hair and it was in a pony tail similar to her's only it wasn't as long. She nodded back to him. "This is General Maratus." the General in orange. "The last general is General Donatuchi." The last one was the one in yellow. Ryukotsusea assumed that he had intoduced them acording to rank. General Maratus had long yellow hiar and that was in a tight pony tail at the top of his head. The last general was General Donatuchi. He had blue hair, it had stripes of light blue. His hair was short like Miroku's so he didn't have to have it up. He still had it up in a lille pont tail at the base of his head. After they were sure Sesshoumaru was done the servents started bringing in the food. There were huge things of food every where. She had never seen so much food in all of her life. After Sesshoumaru took a bite everyone else put food onto their plates. Ryukotsusea put some pig, potatoes among other tings on to her plate. Even though she had grown up in a pour town some of the people gave her lessons on how to eat food in front of a lord. She ate tha same way that all the other generals did. Everything was cooked to prefection. She didn't know how they did it. She could have stayed there and ate all day. She hadn't eaten much since she was 12. That was 12 years ago. She had learned to surpress her hunger. General Shouron spoke up.

"Where do you come from, Ryukotsusea" he asked.

"It had been so long and whenI got my fathers memories I forgot. I wish I could tell you but I cannot." she said.

"Ah. So you are a dragon demon." Shourin said.

"Yes." she didn't dare tell them that she was a half demon.

"Who was your father?" Ryukotsusea went ridged.

"My father was Ryukotsusei." she said. She looked down at her plate.

"You mean the one that killed Lord Sesshoumaru's father!" he asked alarmed.

"Yes, I came here to pay for killing him." Ryukotsusea lied but she didn't want to loose her life just yet. She was only 24.

"Another noble one. Just like our Lord." Shouron said.

"Feh. She will try to kill Lord Sesshoumaru!" growled Maratus.

"I will do no such thing!" se growled back. She didn't take lightly on being called liar. Where she grew up it was the biggest insult. Her eyes flashed red and the went back to normal.

"Enough!" Sesshoumaru growled. They all looked up. Ryukotsusea was still growling at Maratus. "Ryukotsusea calm down." Sesshoumaru said.

"Yes Milord." she tried to keep her temper at bay.

"You all dismissed. Ryukotsusea stay here." The other three generals got up and left. "Rin." Rin left after she grabbed some more food.

"Yes Milord?" Ryukotsusea asked.

"I do not expect you to know every thing but I don expect you to keep your temper under control. You are dismissed." Sesshoumaru said.

"I'm sorry milord. Where I grew up veing called a liar is the biggest disrespect you could get. Short of being outcast." Ryukotsusea said. She turned and left. Sesshoumaru got up and walked to his room. Ryukotsusea followed the path that she had memorized and went to her room. She investigated her room. She didn't find much. There was a knock at the door. She went over and opened it. It was General Shouron.

"Hello Ryukotsusea." he said politly.

"Hello Shouron, come in if you like." she stepped away from the door. Shouron came in.

"I see you didn't add anything to it. Oh well not many people do." Shouron said.

"I didn't exactly have time tograb stuff to put in here." she joked.

"Why didn't you?"

"Well Lord Sesshoumaru knocked me out and brought me here. I don't mind really. I like it. It's quiet." she said.

"Sometimes it is to quiet." Shouron said. "How did Lord Sesshoumaru find you?"

"I was in rage so I could kill InuYasha but Lord Sesshoumaru was in my way. So I fought him and here I am. He won obivously." Ryukotsusea said.

"I just realized something. The only difference between your name and your fathers is one letter. Do you have anything shorter I can call you by? Your name is a mouth full." Shouron said.

"Yes. Ryuko. Rin calls me that because she can't say Ryukotsusea." Ryoku said. "I would have never guessed that Sesshoumaru would have ward. It just seems so unlike him. But I never really knew him so I can't say much."

"Yes, we were all shocked when he brought Rin here. Now she has us all wrapped around her finger." Shouron laughed so did Ryuko. "Though she never had anyone to play with. Poor Ah-Un. He hates it when Rin outs flowers on him. It is pretty funny though. You'd have to see it. Well I better go. It is getting late." Shouron got up and left. Ryuko closed the door behind him. Ryuko realized that she was near to roof. She loved to look for constalations in the sky. She opened her window and climbed up. It was a cloudy night so soon she gave up and started to survey the grounds. Sesshoumaru had seen her climb out her window from below. He diecided to see what she was doing. He jumped up to the roof. She was sitting up and looking around.

"What are you doing?" Ryukotsusea jumped up and turned around.

"Oh, Lord Sesshoumaru you scared me. I was just looking around. It is so big! I could get lost!" Ryukotsusea said.

"No the servents will tell you how to get places so you wont get lost. If you like I can have Rin show you." Sesshoumaru said.

"No thanks. I'll fiure it out on my own. The funny thing is my room here is as big as my mothers house!" Ryukotsusea laughed remembering how small her house was.

"I thought you didn't remember it." Sesshoumaru stated.

"I don't. I remember certian things but not where the village was. It's all a blur." he could hear no sorrow in her voice.

"You should go to bed. You'll need you rest. After all you are getting up at four." Sesshoumaru said. She turned around.

"You have to be kidding! I have to really get up that early?" she asked.

"Yes, so go to bed." Sesshoumaru said.

"Alright! Sheesh! I'm going: she climbed down into her bed room. Sesshoumaru followed. She went over to the fotan and layed down.

"Aren't you going to sleep on the bed?" he asked.

"No, it looks so pretty. I don't want to ruin it." she said. Sesshoumaru picked her up and threw her onto it. "Hey! You ruined it! It's so comphy. But you still ruined it!" she said.

"Go to sleep." Sesshoumaru said. She didn't even hear him. She was already asleep. Sesshoumaru went back outside. After about an hour of sleeping. There was a knock on the door. Ryukotsusea woke right up. She went over and answered it. It was Rin.

"What's wrong Rin?" she asked.

"Rin had a bad dream. Rin doesn't want to be alone." Rin said.

"Alright you can spend the night with me. Come on." Ryukotsusea picked Rin up and carried her to her bed. "Better?"

"Yes, Rin feels mcuh better. Rin thanks you." Rin closed her eyes and went to sleep. Ryukotsusea fell asleep right after.

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

Next Morning

Ryukotsusea woke up at 3:30. Rin was still sleeping. Carefully she got up off the bed making sure she didn't wak Rin up. She realized that Rin slept like a rock. 'I didn't think anyone could sleep like that.' Ryukotsusea thought to herself. She dressed into her general attire and walked around the castle. She felt Sesshoumaru's aura comming closer. He turned the corner and saw her.

"I thought you didn't want to get up this early." Sesshoumaru said.

"Well, I did. But I still don't like it. Do you always wake up before everyone else or do you ever sleep?" she asked sarcasticly.

"I only just woke up. It seems that we wake together. Or close to it. A servent came running down the hall towards them.

"Milord, I cannot find Rin." the servent said.

"She had a bad dream last night and asked me if she could stay with me." Ryukotsusea said.

"You only just meet her and you spoil her." Sesshoumaru smirked.

"No, I don't like it when kids have nightmares and don't have anybody to go to." she said.

"Your training starts in one hour. You will train with Shouron. Be ready. I will know if you are late." Sesshoumaru said.

"Oh great, I just get here and I have to train. Can I have something to eat first?" she asked.

"No. You always train before you eat." Sesshoumaru said dismissing himself. She went back to her room and get her sword. Rin was awake on her bed.

"Where did Ryoku go?" Rin asked.

"I went for a walk trying to find my way to the kitchen to find out that I train before I eat. Do you want ot take a bath before I have to go?" Rin nodded. "Okay you need to take me to the bathes" Rin got off Ryukotsusea's bed and showed Ryukotsusea the way to the bath. When Rin opened the door she realized that the castle had been bulit rightnext to some hot springs. She knocked on the door one was in there so they went in. Rin took off her clothes and jumped in. Ryukotsusea did the same but didn't jump, more like she fell in.

After about 5 minutes of splashing each other Ryukotsusea washed Rin's hair then washed her own. When they were done they got out, dired off and got dressed. Ryukotsusea strapped the sword around her waist and helped Rin tie her obi.

"Well, I better get out to the training feild or where ever I go to train. Go to your room Rin. If I can I'll come play with you later." Ryukotsusea said.

"Rin doesn't want you to go. Rin doesn't have any one to play with." Rin said as she hugged Ryukotsusea legs.

"Fine you can come and do something while I train but you must not get in the way." Ryukotsusea said stenly. Rin nodded. She scaned for Shouron aura. He was st her room. She picked up Rin and ran to her room. Shouron scened her and turned around.

"Hello. I've come to get you. I will lead you to the place where we will be traning." Shouron bowed and turned away. Ryukotsusea followed him down many halls to many to memorise. Soon she found herself outside. Shouron walked to a feild where no one was. "Get ready!" Shouron said, he attacked her. He was fast but not as fast as Ryukotsusea. Her blade changed into a helbred. Shourin was momentarily shocked but he still attacked. She fened him off easily. She decided to use tsais instead of a big bulck wepon. She attacked him this time. She was moving so fast that it was hard for Shouron to see. Soon Ryukotsusea broke through his defences and poked him gently with her tsais.

"I win." she said and helped him up.

"I can see why you have the highest rank among us. But still you are the first woman to ever be a general in Lord Sesshouamru's army. Be honored." Shouron bowed. "Well, I see I have nothing to teach you. You are skilled with many wepons."

"Yeah, I have thought myself with every wepon that I can think of. It gets confusing sometimes." she said.

"I'll say, when your sword changed into a halbred I thuoght you were going to fall because it was so heavy. I don't want to see you in a real battle with those tsais. Anyone who goes up against you will surley die a quick yet painful death." he said. They saw Sesshoumaru comming and stood up. They both bowed to him.

"Well, how good is she?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"She beat me in under 10 minutes. More like under three. She is to much for me. She might have to train with you instead. I can't teach her anymore. She can fight with to many wepons." Shouron told Sesshoumaru.

"I don't need that much credit! And stop talking about me like I'm not here!" she said. They turned to her. She waved and shut up. 'Argh! Why can't they just stop with the formalities? It is so annoying!' she thought to herself. Rin came over from where she was picking flowers.

"Ryoku, is your training over?" Rin asked.

"Yes, it is Rin. Why do you ask?" Ryukotsusea already knew what the answer was but couldn't help asking.

"Can Ryuko play with Rin?" She knew it.

"Well it depends on what Sesshoumaru-sama says. I'll ask him when he's done talking to General Shouron." she said.

"But Ryuko out ranks General Shouron. Ryuko has equal staus with Sesshoumaru-sama. That's what Sesshoumaru-sama told Rin about the person who wore green and was a general." Rin said. Sesshoumaru had stopped talking just in time to hear Rin say that Ryukotsusea had equal staus with Sesshoumaru. He glared at Rin's back but couldn't stay mad at her for long.

"Whoa! I never would've guessed. Oh, well. Rin you didn't need to tell me. Either way I would have waited until they were done talking." she didn't even notice that Sesshoumaru and Shouron had stopped talking. "Uh, hi?"

"Rin, don't you think you shold go get ready for breakfast?" Shouron asked.

"Oh, yes! Rin must go! Goode bye Ryuko!" she waved and ran inside.

"Um," Ryukotsusea said. Sesshoumaru didn't say anything. "Did I miss something?" she asked.

"No." Shouron said.

"Okay, then why is everyone so quiet? It's eriee! Say something!" Ryukotsusea said.

"You weren't supposed to find out about how high your rank was until the celebration this evening. Now that Rin has told you, Rin has taken away some of Sesshoumaru's pride." Shouron said. "I mean Lord Sesshoumaru's pride." Shouron fixed quickly. "The only way to get his price back is to kill the one who took it away. Even if it is a little girl." Shouron said.

"Whoa! There is no way in hell!" she said becomming angery.

"Either he will just ignore it or he will kill Rin." Shouron said. Sesshoumaru had left.

"I am not letting Rin get hurt! He will have to go through me!" she growled her eyes turning red.

"No way. You wont stand a chance when Lord Sesshoumaru's pride is at stake." Shouron said as he grabbed Ryukotsusea by her wrist. She glared at him but didn't fight back.

"Let go, I am going to my room." she said through gritted teeth. Shouron let go and she stormed back to her room. She opened her door and slammed it behind her. She layed down on the bed and growled in frustration. She couldn't believe that Sesshoumaru was going to kill Rin. Maybe he wouldn't she didn't know. She hadn't growl up with Sesshoumaru. InuYasha had. Shouron knocked on her door. She opened it and pulled Shouron in.

"Shouron, I will be back late tonight. Tell Sesshoumaru that I went to InuYasha to get something from him. Yes, I am going to see InuYasha. Please do this for me." she said pleadingly. She made a face like Rin did when she thought she was going to be told no. He sighed.

"Fine. If I get in trouble I will tell him that you gave me one of the faces Rin gives him." Shouron said.

"Thank you!" she jumped out her window and hit the ground running. Shouron was amazed at how fast she ran for a half demon. He didn't tell anyone else because he knew that they wouldn't try to get to know her. He senced Sesshoumaru comming down the hall. He left Ryukotsusea's room to see Sesshoumasru standing there.

"Where is Ryukotsusea?" he asked.

"She told me to tell you that she went to see InuYasha. I don't know about what and that she'd be back late tonight." Shouron said.

"Why didn't you stop her?" he growled.

"One she is higher in rank than me and she gave me the face that Rin gives you when you tell her no." Shouron said truthfully. No matter what he did he couldn't lie to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru sighed.

"Have gaurds be posted around her door so Rin doesn't know she's gone." he said. He left. Ryukotsusea was running faster than she had ever run before. She only had a little over and huor before she met up with the group. Suddenly out of nowhere came a blade.

"What the hell!" she yelled.

"What are you doing here dragon?" someone growled. She looked to the sound. A man with long darl hair was standing with wolves all around him.

"A mangy wolf demon, I pressume." she said not even drawing the sword. The man jumped over her head and got his sword.

"Why are you heading straight to my woman?" he asked. She gave him a look that said 'What the hell are you talking about'

"Who or what are you talking about?" she asked.

"Kagome you dimwit! Why are heading in the direction of Kagome?" he said rolling his eyes.

"Oh, I have a question for InuYasha concerning Sesshoumaru so get out of my way!" before he could react she punched him in the face and continued running. Soon she saw Kagome and the others starting to lie down. She tried to go faster but if she did she would be to tired to ask them about Sesshoumaru. Ryukotsusea knew that the man she had punched was following her she stopped and he flew by. He turned around and landed in front ofher. "WHAT!" she said.

"You smell like a half demon." he said.

"Very good! The wolf wins the prize!" she said sarcasticly.

"Why are you Sesshoumaru's first general? You must be an expert of at least two things in order to let you have that posistion, and being a girl you must be really really good." he said.

"Well, I do know about 15 wepons that I can surley kick ass with." she said. "Are we done here? I really have to get out of here because I need to know the answer to this question that I have left to ask. So move!" she said grupily. He moved and she felt a arm wrap around her waist.

"I think I shall take you as my mate instead of Kagome." he said.

"Uh, sorry not the same species as you. Keep looking." she jumped out of his arms. He stopped following her and she finally got to InuYasha.

"Ryukotsusea!" Shippo yelled waking up anyone who was sleeping.

"Hey, InuYasha I have a question for you." she stated.

"Yes?"

"Let us say that someone didn't purposely take away some of Sesshoumaru's pride but took it all the same. To what depths would he go to get it back? Would he kill a child?" Ryukotsusea asked. There was no way in hell she was going to let Rin die. InuYasha thought for a second. Then he nodded.

"He might. It depends apon how much of his pride got taken away." InuYasha said. "Why are you Sesshoumaru's first general?" InuYasha asked.

"Well I woke up and we were in the woods. He took me to his estate and he made me his first general. Anyways, what if someone told me in advance that I had equal staus as Sesshy? What would he do?" she asked. She was like a detective questioning a person for a murder case.

"He would probaly kill them, but if it was a child I don't think he would. He stated.

"Phew! That's a releif." Ryukotsusea said.

"As I said 'I think'. I'm not totally sure." She turned to InuYasha.

"Then I must go! I am not letting Sesshoumaru kill her!" she jumped out of thier camp and ran as fast as she could to get back to Sesshoumaru's castle.

"That was fast, now we don't have to share the ramen with her!" InuYasha said selfishly. Every one including Kirara sweatdropped. They started eating. Soon InuYasha had eaten all the ramen Kagome had brought. He held out his bowl for more but when he didn't get anymore he looked to Kagome. "Hey, some ass ate my ramen!" Everyone sweatdropped again. Ryukotsusea was almost to the castle. Suddenly she felt a arm reach around her waist. She got yanked back. "What the hell! It better not be you again!" She turned to the arms owner and saw the same man again.

"You don't see happy to see me. My mate must always be happy to see me." She started gagging and ran to a tree. She threw up.

"Sorry, but did you just call me you mate! Try to look for someone your species!" she growled and jumped away.

"You know Koga, I don't think she wants to be your mate." Some one said from behind Koga. He turned to him.

"She loves me she is just playing hard to get!" As Koga and his clan fought over is she loved him or not Ryukotsusea made her escape. Koga turned around and she wasn't there.

"You scared her away!" Koga yelled. Ryukotsusea was back on track to the castle. She felt Sesshoumaru's aura in her room. 'Damn! How am I going to explain Koga's scent on me? I'll just have to tell him the truth.' Ryukotsusea thought to herself. She jumped up to her window and saw Sesshoumaru standing there.

"Hi?" he said uncertianly. Sesshoumaru looked at her.

"Why did you leave?" he growled more than asked.

"I had a important question to ask InuYasha." Ryukotsusea stated. She wasn't going to show weakness. Then the question she didn't want to answer came up.

"Why do you smell like a mangy wolf?"

"Well, on the way back Koga saw me and decided to make me his mate and he just can't take a hint. No, I am not going to be his mate. I don't want to and we aren't even the same species!" she said, before he could object.

"Ah the one that wanted to take InuYasha's wench as his mate because she can see Shikon shards? If was strong enough he could look for them without help. Mangy wolf." Sesshoumaru said.

"Are you saying you are?" Ryukotsusea asked.

"Yes, I cannot find Naraku through that means though, he masked the aura. You have to see the Shikon shards to feel the aura. Now good night. I will train with you in the morning. You could easily kill anyone here. Short of me." Sesshoumaru opened her door, walked out, and closed it behind him.

"What ever you say. Night." Ryukotsusea fell asleep and something happened to her that nothing else had.
