Goddess lost in time

'It seems like a thousand lifetimes ago. Since I've seen him: that powerful figure, silver hair and golden eyes. Yet I'll never forget that day I fell from the sky and into the one who changed everything forever. I wish it never happened…Sesshomaru.'

_-_- When it all began-_-_

Lonely and grief-stricken a girl with waist long hair colored pure ebony rushed against the rain as she made her way into her home. Fumbling with the lock she charged her way up the stairs and flopped down on her bed. Fighting to hold back her tears she smothered her face in the sheets. Taking a few breathes she decided she was fine and looked up at the old mirror that leaned against her wall covered in a dusty sheet. Curious she pulled the sheet free of the mirror and gazed at the image within it. It wasn't her. The figure of a tall tree faced her.

"I guess it wasn't really a mirror after all." Turning her attention to her school bag she was startled by the loud clash of thunder and bright flash of light that came with it. In that instant something grabbed her, pulling her back and everything faded.

The wind rushed around her as light blinded her. It was all too confusing so she kept her eyes shut until a noise caught her attention. Hearing a rushing river she reluctantly opened her wary eyes only to find that she was falling from the sky. As she turned to face the incoming water she screamed in horror.

Helpless, it seemed she was heading straight for the rocky rapids and over the falls. Instead she seemed to skip the rocks and headed right over the falls only to fall further down into the deep lake. Taking in a lungful of air she crashed violently into the water.

Struggling against her weakness and confusion she attempted to swim to the surface only to flounder I her position. The light current carried her out off the lake into a steady flowing stream.

Somehow able to hold her breath long enough she found her way to the surface and breathed in. the current continued to carry her downstream. Slowly she made her way to a shallow edge and pulled herself halfway onto dry land. She was exhausted, cold and confused. Succumbing to her body's whims she closed her eyes and slept.

Aloud crash awakened, as she jolted up she saw a man draped in baboon fur with vines that thrashed around beneath him. While opposite him stood a beautiful man dressed in white with silver hair. The man in the animal skins began to dissipate. "You'll pay for this…Sesshomaru."

With that he was gone and three others came out of the forest behind him. One a small girl, another even smaller lizard faced creature and a tall four-legged, two-headed dragon it seemed. She stared in shock at the sight. The tall man talked to the two small and finally turned towards her. His stare made her body tremble. She struggled to her feet and noticed that he was walking towards her. So she did what she normally would when approached by an attractive man, she ran away.

As weak as she was it was more like she was walking away and running into every tree in the forest. Finally her legs gave out and she collapsed in a heap in front a tree. Breathing heavily she heard the man get closer and stop. She couldn't get her body to stop shaking. "Girl," he finally said. "Your clothes, are you like that other one?"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"Kagome, do you know her?"

The name made her cringe somehow that gave her the strength the stand. "So what if I do? It doesn't matter does it?"

The lizard stepped forward. "You will address my lord appropriately as Lord Sesshomaru."

'Lord?' She thought.

"I must be dreaming this is just too weird. All I have to do is wake up." She closed her eyes and hit her head. Noticing that she could feel pain her eyes shot open. "No way…I'm not dreaming…"

"Of course not you stupid girl, answer m'lord's question."

Ignoring the rants of the small demon she turned and began to walk away. 'This isn't possible…how am I…'

Keeping his eye on the girl he began to follow her as she muttered to herself. Leading them back to the waterfall she stood at the water's edge. "Girl."

She turned to him. "So if this is real then what will you do if I don't tell you what I know?"

"Nothing."

She stared at the water. "I know a girl named Kagome Higarashi. We attend the same school but I don't know much about her. That's all I know."

"How did you get here?"

"I fell out of the sky. I don't even know where I am."

The water began to swell and something grabbed hold of the ankle. She screamed as it began to pull her into the water. Hands scrapping against the ground as she tried to scramble back onto land. A figure draped in red came diving out of the sky and into the lake as the creature beneath the surface thrashed the ebony haired girl was flung around. The remainder of the beast surfaced as Inyasha fought with it. Hanging upside down she struggled to keep her skirt from flying up. Kagome, and the other's came appeared at the top of the waterfall. "Inuyasha, be careful it has a girl with it."

Thrashing more it knocked the half demon back. "Don't get in my way half breed. This girl is mine! Her powers are mine to devour."

"Get me down!" She yelled as the creature placed her above its mouth and dropped her.

'No…I'm going to be eaten? Not a chance, I can't die like this! Someone…anyone…HELP ME!'

She froze in midair, something grabbing her ankle again. "As you wish little one." A woman dressed in a blue tube top and short pants in the same fabric smirked as she threw the girl into the air. The woman flew up to the girl and offered her hand. "Let's make this beast pay for what it's done. Just call my name and my powers will be yours to use, Tempest."

Falling back down towards the monsters waiting mouth she grabbed the woman's hand. "Tempest."

The girl halted and sliced the air, cutting the demon below. 'Atta girl.' The woman's voice congratulated. 'Just keep that up and this demon is done for.'

"Demon?"

"Hey girl, watch it!" Inuyasha warned as she was hit by the demon's hand and plunged underwater.

'This is bad…my powers are no good down here.'

'As useless as ever.' A calm voice giggled. 'Now then young one, just as Tempest is of air, I am of water. You know how to use my powers as it is. My name is Aqua.' The water around her began to spiral and lifted her out to the surface. Standing on the pillar of liquid she breathlessly called out the name. "Very good now let us put a quick end to this. Force all the water you can into him. Just imagine it and it shall happen.'

And just as she had imagined it all the water from the falls absorbed into the creature, expanding its' body. Upon reaching its limit the demon exploded into water and the girl was washed away downstream yet again.

"Hello…are you alive?" a familiar voice asked.

Opening her eyes she saw two women standing over her, one of them being Tempest. The other woman was dressed in navy blue robes, sleek silver hair, and bright blue eyes. "She's awake, thank goodness."

"Who are you?"

"Oh…I'm Aqua the goddess of water. Truly, a pleasure to finally see you, little girl."

"Um, hi, look what's going on here and why are you two here?"

"Looks like she's clueless." Tempest stated. "Okay here's the basic version. Both Aqua and I are goddesses. More to the point we're part of a group of goddess that fell asleep a long, long time ago. So in our slumber we seek out a voice we can hear and yours' came in loud and clear. So you're our new body so to speak."

"No, it's more like you share our souls that's why we can give you our power."

"Okay…like I'm really suppose to believe that."

"When you're truly upset it storms doesn't it? And the wind kicks up when you're out running, right? When you get too excited about dinner it burns. Right?"

"How did you know that?"

"Like we said we're goddesses and you have our powers. So if you think about it you have the power to change the world around you. So you cause things to happen from time to time and it never goes right. Starting to believe yet?"

"Maybe…I'm not sure it get all this."

"No worries we resurrected our old vassal to help you…actually you were him in one of your past lives. So you guys will get along. He'll be here later."

"Now listen you have a task ahead of you so prepare yourself. Our vassal will fill you in on the details. For now we will always be a part of you and don't be afraid to call us."

They vanished. "Ugh this is all too crazy! Why can't I just be a normal girl and move on with my life? I just want to go home."

"There you are girl." An annoyingly familiar voice caught her attention. It was the lizard man from before.

"Oh good it's you again." She rose and started to walk away.

"Hold it right there! Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going home this is just too weird."

"My lord has something of yours if you and if you want it back you'll have to meet with him."

She approached him. "Fine."

She held her place at the side of the river as the man in white came to her. "I stopped her just as you wished m'lord!"

"What kind of power was that?" he asked.

"I'm not really sure. It's just something I was born with I guess. Maybe you can help me get home; if you do then I swear I'll help you out with anything you want."

"Lord Sesshomaru doesn't make deals with petty little humans like you!"

"Who are you calling little; you're barely a foot tall."

"So be it." He walked into the forest and they all followed. 'This power of hers is interesting. I wonder what it is.'

The girl dragged behind as she followed. "Hurry up, girl!"

"My name isn't girl! It's Sakuya!"

_-_- Present Day -_-_

The light that landed close to them barely disturbed the forest around them. No noise signaled its' landing and a light breeze swept through the leaves.

"What was that?" Kaze gasped staring at the fading light.

"Seems familiar almost, right my lord?" As Jaken asked Sesshomaru, Rin and Kaze were headed towards where the light landed. "W-wait for me!"

The closer they got the dimmer the light became until they found it. A sphere of light hovered just inches above the ground. "What do you think it is, Sesshomaru?"

"It could be a demon."

"I've never seen a demon fly around as an orb of like that. But it doesn't feel like a demon. It almost feels like…" He paused for a moment and felt the air around him, picking up on the subtle emotion the light was giving off. "Like someone's tears."

"How do you know that nii-sama?"

"It's just a feeling, I'm sure this light won't harm us if anything it's just sad."

Touching the ground the orb shattered into beautiful shards of silver. As they rose into the sky all that remained before them was a girl.

"Onee-san!" Rin ran towards the woman and held her.

"Rin?" Sakuya said in shock. "But what…how did I get back here?"

"Is this the woman you were talking about?" Kaze stared in wonder at her.

"Yes, she's Sakuya."

Her brown eyes met Sesshomaru's and she immediately looked away. "Lord Sesshomaru… it's been a long time." She bowed to him. "You look well, my lord."

"Where have you been?" He asked.

"Uh…that's…a really long story I'd rather not talk about."

"That's rude Sesshomaru; you don't question a lady like that." He turned to her and smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you Sakuya. My name is Kaze."

"Nice to meet you too." She stared at him. "Do you…always smile like that?"

"Yes I do." He beamed.

"That must really annoy some people but who am I do judge a person I just met. "She smiled sweetly. "You seem like a nice demon Kaze."

He turned to Sesshomaru. "She's really lovely, is she your woman?"

Sesshomaru planted a fist to his servant's face. "That's ridiculous."

"She's pretty; I thought you might have taken her for yourself. I didn't want to over step my bounds, master."

"He certainly is a character. Shall we be on our way now Lord Sesshomaru?"

Without a word he turned and walked back to the path they left only moments ago. "So, onee-san what did you do while you were gone?"

She thought for a moment. "A better question would be how long have I been gone."

"Nearly a year, why did you leave us so suddenly?"

"Um…could we talk about something else?" she asked staring up at stars.

"Answer her, Sakuya." Sesshomaru commanded.

"I can't right now, so can we please just drop it?" she fiddled with her sleeves.

"No," He approached her. "Answer the question now."

Her back against a tree she avoided his eyes as he came within arm's length away. "Hey!" A voice hollered as a ball of fire came towards the two and was easily swatted away by the silver demon. "Hands off her!"

Two figures came down the path. One was tall with dark clothes and crimson eyes. His hair stretched to his mid back and brown skin only one or two shades lighter than Sakuya's. The other was shorter with silver hair and green eyes. He had pale skin with the hands, feet, tail and ears of a feline. They both strode confidently toward the group. "That doesn't seem fair ganging up on a girl like that, and in front of a child, how shameless."

"Didn't you hear what I said dog boy? Let her go, now."

The demon turned to him. "You look just like Daniel."

Anger flared on Itsuma's face. "What was that? You know him huh? Good now I really won't feel bad about tearing you apart."

"Itsu, look he did what you asked now we can go home okay?"

"Stay out of this, Kibe! He knows that monster you know as well as I do what he did!"

"We're not in our world, brother. Besides killing him won't make it any better."

"That's where you're wrong." He sneered at the demon before him. "I'll feel so much better if he dies."

Itsuma charged for Sesshomaru, his eyes a blazing red. Kaze attempted to stop the blood god but was distracted by the cat demon. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Just let them fight for a bit. If anything bad happens then I'll stop him."

Sakuya stood against the tree she had back herself against and stared at the two battling before her. Her son's blood thirsty eyes glowing in the dark while her lord's claws sliced the air. It was horrifying. She couldn't even bring herself to say anything to stop them.

As the battle escalated the demon lord drew his sword barely missing the god's body. Kibe readied himself for what he was about to do, and ran straight at them. Unaware of the demon the both struck a blow to him. The sickening sound of his bones shattering and blood rushing out of the hole in his chest snapped Itsuma back. As his broken body lay limb on the ground. Sakuya screamed at the sight.

The half vampire knelt down beside his brother, his hair draping over his face. At the moment the world around them froze and they were transported to Midcross. The old Japanese style house sat in the open field with two additional structures connected to it. The fallen demon breathed in and began to struggle. Itsuma held the boy down gently. "It's okay Kibe, relax."

He coughed a few times before finally calming his body. "Thanks Itsuma."

Smacking the boy on the back of his head the blood god stood. "You idiot what were you thinking? We weren't in this world and if we had stayed in that world a second longer you might not have revived."

"I know that but I was worried you might've done something stupid if that fight kept going on. Besides, I weighted the options and trust me if I tried to stop just one of you then either one or both of you would be dead." He smiled. "I wasn't taking the chance that you might have been the one who died."

"You're and idiot you know that?" He pulled Kibe to his feet.

"Yeah, sure I am." He turned to the others. "Everyone okay?"

"Kibe!" Sakuya ran to him and held him tightly. "Don't ever do anything that reckless again!"

He smirked. "I can't really promise that cat demons are reckless by nature but I'll do my best."

"Oh yeah, and who the hell are those five anyway?" Itsuma gestured towards the group of strangers.

"I only really know four of them. The small girl is Rin, the small demon is Jaken, the twin headed demon is Ah-Un and the one you were fighting is-."

"Sesshomaru." He stared hatefully at the demon. "I really should have killed him then."

"Itsuma quit talking like that."

"Why, you know as well as I do that he deserves it."

"Onee-san, who are these two?"

Kibe walked up to her and smiled. "My names Kibe, the guy in black is my brother Itsuma. I'm a demon and he's a Blood God. We're sorry for the fight that happened earlier."

"I'm not." the half god crossed his arms.

"I'm sure you were worried about Sesshomaru."

"No I wasn't, Lord Sesshomaru would never lose to either of you in a fight."

Kaze stifled his laugher as the cat demon spoke again. "I see then your lord must be very powerful, Rin. Either way I apologize for our behavior. I'm not sure I caught your name laughing man."

"Kaze, Lord of the east."

"You're a Lord just like Sesshomaru-sama?" Sakuya's jaw dropped.

"Don't call him 'sama' you're a goddess, you out rank him!"

"You're a goddess?" Kaze stared at her.

"If that's so what are you doing serving Sesshomaru?"

"I would ask the same to you. He and I have known each other since we were very young."

"Seems like we have a lot to catch up on." The goddess smiled.

"Ugh, and we please just send them back to their world?"

"No, I like having them around."

"Oh yeah and what happens if they start asking about you-know-what? Then what are you going to do?"

"I don't have to tell them anything about it so can you please get off my back about all this?"

"Sakuya," Sesshomaru caught her attention. "What is that boy to you?"

"Itsuma? He's my son."

"I see, and I assume Daniel is the boy's father."

"Yes but it's not-."

"And what about this one?"

"I adopted him so he's as much my son as Itsuma is."

"You certainly move on quickly."

"It's not what you think, Sesshomaru. You said I've been gone for almost a year but in this world time passes by much faster. I haven't seen you, Rin or Jaken in almost three hundred years."

"Wow, you don't look like you're anywhere near that age." Kaze complimented.

"I'm a goddess I don't really age unless I want to that is. And you're one to talk about aging."

"I suppose so." He turned towards his friend. "I realize she's not your woman but…do you have some kind of attachment to her by any chance? I've never seen you so worked up over a girl."

"Kaze-." He repeatedly struck the boy on the head. "You really should learn to stop questioning me."

"As you wish, master."

"Good." He tossed him aside. "Sakuya."

"Yes, my lord?"

"Quit calling him that!"

"When you disappeared you were still learning how to control your powers. The only one you haven't mastered was wind."

"Yeah what's your point?"

"You're a wind goddess?" Kaze jolted from the ground.

"Sort of, why…oh, I get it now, the lord of the east is a demon that controls air which means I can learn from you?"

"This should be interesting." Kibe smirked. "So Rin do you want to play a game for awhile. Mother isn't safe to be around when she goes all goddess."

"Sure, what kind of games do you play here?"

Kibe transformed into his child form so he was about Rin's height. "All kinds let's go!" He ran on all-fours as they went in search of fun. Sesshomaru and Jaken followed close behind them as did Itsuma.

"Let's begin shall we?" The demon smiled.

_-_- Kibe and Rin-_-_

They both ran to the large side yard between the main house and one of the additions. It was there they found MNG and Esamaru. Kira sat on the high roof of the tall additional home along with another girl.

"Master Esamaru, wakeup Kibe's back." MNG whispered to him.

The boy next to him rose to sit and rubbed his eyes. "Hello Kibe."He greeted as he approached.

"Hey, how are you feeling today?"

His black ears sank low onto his similar colored hair. "Not good unfortunately, you may not know it but you've been gone for three months. MNG and I haven't been able to leave because of my condition. All that aside who is this lovely princess you have with you?"

"Oh, this is Rin, she came from the same world mom did."

"Hello Rin, welcome to Midcross, my name is Esamaru I'm prince of the forest clan. The man beside me is MNG he's my friend and guard."

"Nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is all ours, make yourself comfortable here. This will be your home as long as you're here."

"Do you want to mean everyone else?" Kibe asked.

"Okay."

"Give me a hand Es." The frail man nodded and amplified his friend's voice. "HEY, GUYS GET OVER HERE WE'VE GOT SOME NEW VISITORS!"

MNG had his ears covered and Es laughed. "I'm sorry maybe that was too loud."

"Don't overdo it so much."

Groups of people came out of the main house and even off the roof. They all gathered around. "You stupid cat I was sleeping!" a man with long white hair picked the boy up and yelled at him.

"Shut up you flea infested mutt! You know we have to greet our visitor properly! Now put me down or I'll bite you."

"I'd like to see you try it, Fluffy!"

"Enough you two, what will our guests think." Dee smiled at them. "Hello, welcome to our home, I'm Dee it's nice to meet you. Oh, you must be Sesshomaru-sama, Rin and Jaken."

"You know about us?" Rin asked.

"Of course we do, Sakuya's told us all about your adventures with her. Well everyone introduce yourselves."

"Hello," A woman with long black hair and orange eyes stepped forward. "I'm Ray, nice to finally meet you guys."

"I'm Arch, Ray's my wife and that is our daughter Reila." He pointed up to the sky as a girl with black and red wings dropped down.

"Hey, nice to meet cha'." Her tall build and blue eyes were that of her father's, her well tanned complexion and smile were obviously her mother's.

The other cat demons spoke up as well.

"I'm Itu."

"I'm Kira, it's a pleasure."

"I'm Kikaru." A cat demon perched in a tree smirked. He had soft yellow eye and had grey hair and fur. He almost looked like Kibe's brother.

"My name is Megi; it's nice to meet you." A girl with platinum blonde hair and over-sized clothes stepped forward. She was holding the hand of a man with black hair. "This guy here is Vincent; he's mute so he can't introduce himself."

The mute boy smiled at them and waved.

A man sitting on the long porch stood. His hair a pale red and his eyes colored black that seemed to suit his mood. "Ishio, try not to let my name slip your mind or I might slit your throats."

"Brother you really shouldn't threaten our guests." Megi turned accurately to face him.

"Oh, is that right, well last time I checked I'm not your brother. This body may be related to yours but make no mistake that I am not. Also I don't care how I should act around them. For me they get the same treatment as you other fools."

"Don't mind him." Kibe smiled. "This angry guy here is Wolf."

"I'm not always angry, I just hate cats."

Three men dressed in black coats approached. "Hello, you must be Sesshomaru, Rin and Jaken. Our goddess has told us so much about you three."

"And you are?"

"They call me the King of vampires, or count rather. Everyone here calls me Drac it's a name I've become rather fond of."

A young looking man bowed to them, looked almost bored of the world he spoke in a soft voice. "Welcome you may call me Cos."

The last man looked angry and made his introduction short. "Vladimir, I'm leaving."

"You don't want to see our goddess? My how cold of you."

"I don't care about seeing her! You old bat!"

"Angry as always, it's like he's programmed to be like that always." Cos stared down the yard where Sakuya and Kaze were sparing.

"I know, be back home soon my son."

"Like hell I will!"

"Hey Bell get down here!" Kibe called.

A slender figure stood on top of the highest roof of the main house and leaped off. Gracefully she twisted her body and landed on all fours. Her hair and fur were pitch black and her eyes a piercing yellow-green. "Hey, I'm Bell nice to meet you."

"That was amazing." Rin mused.

"Thank you little girl…er…Rin right? Grandma talks about you a lot."

"She means Sakuya, Bell is my daughter." Kibe smiled. "I married Kira about fifty years ago. Sorry about the crowd it's been about eighty years since we've had guests from another world."

"It's not a problem."

"You all might want to cover your ears and duck." Cos stated in an emotionless tone. As, what seemed like an explosion shook the ground and a huge gust of wind nearly blew them away. "That was different."

They all walked over to the side yard where Sakuya stood over a small hill of rubble. She dug through it hastily. "Oh, by the gods I hope I didn't just kill him."

Kaze poked his head out from under the earth and shook himself off. "Are you alright nii-sama?"

He grabbed Sakuya by the shoulders and shook her. "That was amazing! How did you do that? That was the most powerful air attack I've ever seen!"

"Uh…I almost killed you…"

"Don't be silly I know how to protect myself. Now tell me what it is you did!"

"That guy is a psychopath." Itsuma rolled his eyes.

Kibe nodded in agreement, as did the others. "Brother, isn't it about time you went hunting, it's been a stressful day for you."

"Yeah I'm tired right now so I'm going to bed."

"Are you sure you could go into bloodlust again."

"I know, but lately I've just been tired. So I'll go in the morning."

"I'll go with you." The cat demon smiled.

"You always do." He walked into the house without another word.

"Look Kaze I just kind of attacked like that by accident so…"

"I see well accidents happen." He smiled brilliantly. "There's something I want to know. Who is Tempest?"

"Oh, she's the goddess…of…" She felt her powers flare up again. And seven goddesses appeared in spirit form.

"Why hello Kaze." Tempest appeared in front of him. "I see you taken an interest in me; I'm the goddess of Wind. I've taken much interest in you as well."

"Ugh, honestly Tempest you have bad taste in men." The fire goddess, Flare scoffed.

"I do not! He's attractive and powerful."

"He's a bit on the scrawny side don't you think?" Nimbus, goddess of storms commented. "Besides there are more attractive men in the world, you only like him because he's of your element."

"So what, he's got a nice smile and I'm sure he has a nice body and-and…" Her nose began to bleed.

"You're such a pervert." Aqua laughed.

The twin goddesses of darkness (Shade) and light (Crystal) spoke in unison. "We were in agreement that Lady Sakuya should choose her own mate and not be influenced by us. So why is it now that we argue?"

"I thought we decide that Sesshomaru should be her mate." Terra (Stone) of earth smiled as she mused a nearby flower.

"That's right we did." The two goddesses realized. All but two goddesses hovered over at the demon lord's side.

"He's so sexy, and smart, and strong, and eeee! I just wanna rip his clothes off!" Flare stared at him.

"Now, now Flare calm down he'll get angry." Aqua smiled.

"Hey Terra why aren't you over here?" Nimbus asked. "We know you love Sesshomaru as much as we do."

"But this flower is so pretty." She went all starry eyed.

Flare summoned a flame and burned the flower to ashes. "Oops, no more flower."

The goddess began to cry. "Why would you do that? You're a monster!"

"Nah, what does a silly flower have that Sesshomaru doesn't? There's not competition."

"You might have gone too far this time."

"Did not!"

"WOULD ALL OF YOU SHUT IT!" Sakuya silenced the seven goddesses. "I never asked for all of you to come out."

"But it's been three hundred year since we've seen Sesshomaru. Besides it's about time you two got back together." The fire goddess stated.

"We were never together in the first place! Just stop it all of you."

"But what about Kaze he has potential."

"Are you kidding he's a million years too early to compete with Sesshomaru."

"Kaze, why are smiling so much?" Sesshomaru asked.

"This is really entertaining, don't you think?"

"No, it's annoying. I had to deal with this for months on end."

"Don't be upset Sakuya," Aqua comforted. "We just want to see you happy again just like before."

"That's impossible, and you know it!" Everyone froze at the statement. "You seven can stay out here and play around as much as you want but I'm through with it!"

Drac approached her and lead her into the house.

"Hey, Sesshomaru, did you do something to her? She was pretty upset just now."

"No."

Megi and Vincent approached them. "We'll show you to your rooms and get you some clothes to wear in this world. We can't have you going around in those." They lead the way to the tallest additional home where they for an empty hall near the top. "Feel free to choose any room you like. Vincent, please get them some towels and other essentials."

He squeezed her hand and made a motion with his fingers against her palm and walked downstairs. Rin and Kaze looked through the rooms and finally choose two in the middle of the hall with an empty one in between them. "Jaken."

"Yes, my lord?"

"You take the room beside Kaze."

He sighed. "As you wish, my lord."

Vincent set towels and other things in the chosen room and took his place next to Megi. "We'll leave you to set in."

The two left and the two lords stood in the hall. "Sakuya is simply amazing. She certainly lives up to the title of goddess."

"I suppose."

"I just can understand something; well there are a number of things I don't understand. I was wondering why she left you. She seems to be very fond of you."

"She vanished."

"Did you look for her afterward?"

"No."

He smiled. "Something tells me that's a lie. That aside why was she so upset earlier?"

"I wouldn't know it has nothing to do with me."

"Are you sure? You don't seem so. Listen this is only a possibility but perhaps she didn't simply vanish as you said she did. True your senses are sharp and your skills are great but as you've noticed this world is different and maybe the reasons you're here are because something wants you here."

"What are you getting at, Kaze?"

"I've been sensing something here; the moment we arrived here something has had its eyes on you. It's been hiding itself behind Itsuma's malice toward you. The wind here has told me to beware of the sky though I hardly know what that means. There are things going on here that are beyond my skill to defend you against."

"You're just my servant."

"I understand that." He laughed. "Beware the sky, my lord. Beware the sky."

"Lord Sesshomaru, nii-sama."

"Yes Rin?"

"I'm going to sleep but I have something to tell you before I do. When sister Sakuya was upset I saw that she was crying. I've never seen her cry like that before and I was worried."

"Thank you little sister. Now off to bed with you." She closed the door to her room as the two simply stared at each other. "You made a woman cry!"

He was quickly silenced by his lord's fist again. "Do not attempt to raise your voice to me."

"Now I know something is wrong."

"And that is none of your business." Itsuma stood in front of a window at the far end of the hall.

"What do you want?"

"I just came to warn you. If you even try to get close to my mother again I'll kill you. I don't care if your world crumbles because of it. And don't think I'll let tonight's incidents go unpunished."

"You're a good son." Kaze smiled.

"You're an idiot and I don't like how happy you are all the time you're like a clown." (Itsuma is secretly afraid of clowns.) "Anyway that's my final warning to you."

"So be it."

The blood god vanished into the night and the two lords stood and watched the sun rise. "He seems serious about that."

"So?"

"He is a god you know. But I wonder why exactly he is so determined to keep you and Sakuya away from each other."

"It's meaningless to ask me."

"Your right, I'll be off to bed then." Kaze went to his room and shut the door.

_-_- Itsuma-_-_

The blood god laid sweating and wheezing on the floor, his bother beside him.

"Itsuma I told you not to wait so long between hunts now look at you."

"I know Kibe, I should have listened. I'm sorry."

"Will taking my blood now do any good?"

"No, it's too late. Don't let anyone outside tonight I have a feeling this is going to be a bad one." He finally gave in a passed out.

_-_-Roof-_-_

A girl with long black hair sat on the high roof of the main house and looked out at the seemingly endless forest that stretched beneath her. One eye covered by and eye patch she had one hazel eye to stare with.

"I wonder what will become of me tonight. I have to find a way to stop that man before he destroys this place. Sesshomaru and Kaze being here only shows me that his plans and powers are coming into fruition." Her right eye began to glow under the patch. "Be still now. Our time to act has yet to come. Itsuma, you have no idea what you have in waiting for you."

AliceArianRose- Okay here you have it the next story with Kaze. I cut out all the stops with this one. I was hoping to rewrite my first inu fanfic but I didn't feel like waiting to write more about Kaze. I hope you all like it! Also please review it if you have something to say about the story thus far. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Please review, your views are very important to me and help me improve. If you don't like this chapter tell me why, and if you do tell me why. Thank you.
