Somewhere deep in the depths of the hidden forest a soul was awakened and a power was unleashed to the world. Finally she was awake. That damn miko had forced her into the sleep of eternity only to be awoken by another miko which she believed would never have happened. The Inu youkai sighed with the thought of freedom. Finally after all of these years she was free.
dogs love to be free

She smiled her amber eyes glowing and her white fangs glistening. She knew that she had been awakened for a purpose and she would have to repay back her releaser but after that she was going to return to the western lands and take back the life that had been hers before that retched miko had taken away. At the thought her eyes bled red and then she laughed the sound echoing off of the walls around her.

Red eyes glowed mischievously as they watched the demoness. She was perfect. Finally he would have a way to destroy them all.

Yes.

Perfect.

§oo§oo§

Sesshoumaru stopped in his path. His heart had just shifted as a piece of it that he thought was long dead awakened.

No it couldn't be.

She was dead.

Everyone knew that she had died over two hundred years ago. So what was happening now?

"Sesshoumaru-sama are you alright?" Rin asked him as she stopped beside him and glanced up to see what was wrong with her lord. Jaken was behind her mumbling something about baka ningen.

"Yes Rin I am fine. Do not worry about me." Sesshoumaru said not even risking a glance at his young ward.

He had to ponder this.

What had happened to make him think of her again? Was someone disturbing her resting place? If so they had to be stopped she needed to be left in peace. The only problem was, was that no one knew where her resting place was. She had just disappeared and then one of they lower scouting youkai had said that he had heard that she had been destroyed and was now resting in the hidden forest. The problem was that no one knew where the hidden forest was, and only a miko could find the forest. Problem was he didn't have a miko to help him find that damn forest.

"Jaken, do you remember what happened about two hundred years ago when she disappeared?" Sesshoumaru asked of the imp that was glaring at the girl by his side. A/N sry but i was told he was an imp if he isnt tell me. Jaken flinched at the sound of his lord's voice.

"Yes my lord. I do remember what happened all those years ago. She was the best of all of you." He was inching away as he said it afraid of what his lord might do to him for saying what he had just said.

"Yes Jaken I know this. She was everyone's favorite. Even Inuyasha's." He sighed. He remembered her very well. She was everyone's favorite.

Even his.

"Jaken I wish for you to stay here with Rin and Ah-Un. Keep her safe and out of harm. If not I will have your head for it." Sesshoumaru didn't even wait for him to answer. He just turned around and started to walk away from them.

He knew where to find a miko at. His brother's wench was a miko. The reincarnation of that damn clay pot, he didn't remember her name.

He had no idea where his brother would be so he used his keen sense of smell to find even a small trace of his brother's pathetic scent.

Sesshoumaru began traveling east toward Inuyasha's scent. Disgusting it was. He reached their camp by night fall.

"Inuyasha." He said startling his brother and causing him to fall out of the tree he was laying in and fall face first into the ground at his feet.

"I never thought I would see the day that you would bow to me Inuyasha. Oh well not time for that now I have more important matters to see to." Sesshoumaru said calmly as though he didn't care either way. Which he really didn't. A/N i know hard to believe huh sesshoumaru made a joke ha ha.

"Sesshoumaru, you bastard what the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha yelled to his older brother as he pulled himself out of the ground while his loud voice awoke the whole camp who began to stare at the two brothers standing there looking so alike yet again so different.

"I am here to talk to the miko Inuyasha, not that I have to explain myself to you in anyway." Sesshoumaru stated letting his gaze move to said miko.

"WHAT?" Inuyasha yelled as he unsheathed Testseiga. "Don't touch Kagome you bastard!"

Sesshoumaru just ignored his younger brother as he turned towards the miko who was sitting up holding the young kitsune pup in her hands. He walked towards here and stopped in front to kneel down so that they were level with each other.

"I need your help miko. It is very important to me that you help. So will you help me?" Sesshoumaru asked calmly yet it was softer than normal.

"Uh….I…. sure Sesshoumaru I will help you. If you tell me what it is that I will be helping you with." Kagome replied after deep thought and a few moments to collect her voice after getting the shock of Sesshoumaru sitting in front of her asking her if she would help him.

"You aren't helping him with anything Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled to the woman who was getting up out of her sleeping bag and beginning to fold it up.

"Baka Hanyou you really are stupid." Sesshoumaru announced to him as he watched the miko.

"What the Hell did you just call me?" Inuyasha shouted though by then everyone was ignoring him and going about their normal stuff.

"So Sesshoumaru are you going to tell me what it is you need my help with?" Kagome asked as she began making everyone ramen though she doubted Sesshoumaru would touch the stuff.

At first she didn't think he was going to answer as he staid silent and made no clue as to the fact that he had even heard her question until he finally began to speak.

" About two hundred years ago when Inuyasha was but a pup and my father was still alive, a very tragic accident happened. Someone close to me disappeared and we later found out that she was trapped by a miko in the Hidden forest. It cannot be found by anyone except a miko of extreme power. I believe that you can lead me to this forest." By the time he had finished Inuyasha had frozen inside knowing of who his brother was talking about.

"Oh…..wow." Everyone was shocked to hear that the cold Sesshoumaru had actually cared about someone at one time in his life. That was when Kagome turned to look at Inuyasha and noticed that the hanyou had frozen and seemed to be off in his own little world though a look of pure wonder and horror had crossed his face.

"Inuyasha," Kagome called to him though he ignored her and instead turned to his older brother.

"Why Sesshoumaru?" His voice was that of someone betrayed and Kagome had to wonder who the person was that Sesshoumaru wanted her to help him find.

"I smelled her today Inuyasha. Her scent was on the winds. Someone has disturbed her rest and I want to find out who I cannot allow them to dishonor her like this. Maybe I will find that she is actually alive and free from her prison. All I know is that I need to know." Wow that was the most she had ever heard Sesshoumaru said and it didn't even involve killing Inuyasha. What was this world coming to?

"Damn." Was the only words that came out of Inuyasha's mouth as he stared at his brother.

"Yes exactly Inuyasha."

"Uh….yea….would anyone like to tell me just who this 'she' is that I'm going to be looking for?" Kagome asked snapping Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru out of their stare down.

"Well Kagome to answer your question she is…." Inuyasha started out as he glanced to his brother once more.

"…Sesshouri…" Sesshoumaru finished part of the sentence that Inuyasha had started.

"… My older sister….."

"….My twin."
