Hello everyone. This is my first story about Rin and Sesshoumaru. It was originally supposed to be a Romeo and Julia type story, but it has changed from its original plot thanks to many wonderful ideas my boyfriend put out as I was telling him about it. There will be a lot of new words as its set on a different planet completely, so I hope it doesn't get too confusing. Here is a short prolog to help understand how things are set up. There is also a set of terms to help you understand some of the words. I hope you enjoy!

**Edit: Hello, Anise here. I've come back to this story now after having written nothing on it for two years. Naturally, I see may places I could have made improvements to the story (and grammar of course). So I will be editing each chapter some before I continue on. I hope my fans can still enjoy it!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sesshoumaru or any of the Inuyasha characters.

Upon the world of Ethia, a secluded continent called Dalvia held two races. These two races where know as Ethian's and Drokai. Dividing both races was a canyon so deep, one could not see the bottom. The width of it stretched out nearly 200 feet across so that even a Drokai could not leap it. Walking around would be an option, yet on either side were the wastelands. Inhabiting these lands was a legion of outcast, thrown from their worlds to wonder a dead land in desperate search of food, water and shelter. Many of these wanderers were half-breed. Accepted by neither ethain's nor drokai they were banished to Zibaki, the wastelands.

The continent being cut off from the rest of the world left resources diminishing over the years. However, the Drokai population continued to grow, causing animosity to escalated as the superior race sought to expand.

East of the canyon where the Ethian's. They farmed abundant farmlands, their land being exceptionally fertile. Each village cultured its own food, and divided it between the residents. The Ethian's held little physical power, and is easily subjected to sicknesses and diseases. Yet, the Ethians possessed a keen ability to manipulate spiritual power from within themselves. This power they harnessed was the greatest factor in their defense against the Drokai. The villages would selected a few with exceptional abilities and give them the titled of priest or priestess. These selected few became the defenders of their villages.

There was a small group of Ethian's who lacked the spiritual powers, but decided to fight in a different way. The group honed what little physical powers they had, and possessed special weapons made from defeated Drokai. These weapons, having the sealed powers of the Drokai, became a great offense against their enemy. As the group found their methods effective, and grew in numbers, they named themselves: The Slayers.

Contradictory to the Ethian's, the Drokai held great physical powers. They where immune to disease and outlived the Ethian's 100 years to 1. A few rare Drokai were even able to manipulate their vast energy to create a physical force called ki. Ruling the west side of the canyon was a single powerful Drokai, whose powers where far greater than all the others. And though this race was proud and found the weaker race to be inferior they could not attack so long as the ruler chose not to.

The western race lived by ranks as the Drokai held different types and species. The 12 main species would choose the strongest of their kind, and that Drokai would represent the rest as a general. The strongest of the twelve generals would become the ruler of the west. The current ruler was a powerful dog Drokai who found no interest in fighting the humans. Even as the other Drokai felt a growing bitterness toward their ruler, none dared to face him alone.
