Chapter one: The day that will change his life

It began as a normal day. Sesshomaru, the wandering lord of the West Lands was leading his pack through a sunny forest on a beautiful summer's day as they continued their— or rather his quest to destroy the hanyou Naraku.

Over the years his little pack had grown. First there was Jakkan who seemed to follow him through thick and thin, even if he was rather irritating. Second came Ah-Un, the two-headed dragon pet he tamed after his ogre was killed by the Monk's wind tunnel who traveled with his half brother.

Sitting on the dragon's back were two children he allowed to follow him. Rin was a little girl who had looked after him when he was critically injured by the Windscar. The Boy sitting behind her was Sesshomaru's least chosen candidate to join his group. His name was Kohaku. He had regained his memories but his life force was connected to the shikon jewel shard in his back.

"Peter Piper picked a field of pickled peppers! A field of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked! If Peter Piper picked a field of picked peppers, then where's the field of pickled peppers that Peter Piper picked!?" exclaimed Rin.

"Wow! That was amazing Rin-chan!" Kohaku cheered and applauded by clapping. Sesshomaru had to agree though he wouldn't say it out. Usually it's that lame 'Blue Jaken, Red Jaken, Gold Jaken' tongue twister. Jaken however mumbled under his breath about stupid humans and their petty games to be rewarded with a warning glance from his master.

Though Sesshomaru protected the boy faithfully he was still suspicious of Kohaku; he was after all was under the control of Naraku for so long. But Rin seemed to love him with her whole heart. Not to mention he was good company for her. But the way Kohaku was beginning to look at Rin and the things he say, it made Sesshomaru feel a twinge of jealously knowing his little Rin was already being noticed.

"Where did you learn that, Rin-chan?" Kohaku asked.

"I was taught by Kagome-san when she looked after me as Sesshomaru-sama was fighting Naraku"

At the name, Kohaku shivered. Rin sat in front of him and didn't notice, Sesshomaru however smelled the fear rolling off the boy. But his attention was altered when the sweet smell of lilies filled the air. Suddenly pink petals began to shower through the air. Rin smiled and collected them in her palms; Kohaku however placed a readied hand his weapon.

'I guess the boy is not a complete nuisance' Sesshomaru thought as he placed his hand on Tenseiga. 'At least he can defend himself and Rin.' Usually he would draw Tokijin but the sword was destroyed and now Tenseiga had gain the ability to kill.

A soft laughter filled the air. It wasn't chilling but pleasant, the unknown source made it ominous. The wind picked up and formed a small water twister in front of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru stood unaffected by its force; but his pack cried out as they were blown a good distance away. The twister ended and there stood a woman.

She was dressed royally. Her kimono was jade green with blue markings. Her inner robes were a rich burgundy. Her long brown hair was swooped back in a remarkable bow shaped ponytail. Despite the hard metal bladed fans she held in her hands; her face was simply soft and elegant. Her eyes were ruby pink and lips pink as the sunset.

"Hello Sesshy-sama!" She waved, smiling like a manic. "It's been a few centuries!"

Sesshomaru's eye twitched at his puphood's nickname.

"I'm not in a benevolent mood, what business brings you here, Yuriko?"

"Yuriko?!" Jaken shrieked in disbelief, unknowingly hurting Sesshomaru's ears. "The Yuriko?"

"You know her master Jaken?" Rin asked walking over to Jakkan with Kohaku and Ah-Un following her.

"She is the nature sorceress! The Queen of the nymphs that came to Japan over a thousand years ago! She is a close ally to the family of Sesshomaru-sama's father, Inu no Taishou!"

"Was" Sesshomaru said correcting Jaken. "Yuriko, remove your self from my path before I kill you"

"Oh come on!" She pouted. "What happened a century ago wasn't that bad!"

"You choose death I presume?" Sesshomaru said ignoring her while drawing Tenseiga. He ran forward in assault. Yuriko raised her metal fans. Their weapons clashed. The force of their weapons reflected causing them to fly backwards. Sesshomaru recovered quickly and lashed out again as Yuriko was just regaining her balance.

Using her speed, Yuriko avoided his attack. "Temper, temper" She said mildly as she landed skillfully on her feet. "You are rotten as ever". She narrowed her ruby pink eyes. "It's apparent that even InuTaisho's lesson by leaving you the Tenseiga was futile."

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed into slits; how dare this nobody scold him. Jaken quivered when he saw it. Ah-Un moaned low. Along with Jaken, he knew his master well and the eye glares was not a good sign. "What connection did you have with my father that causes you to be in my way now?"

Sesshomaru was hoping his father didn't have yet another mistress. His father was a strong Dai-youkai but he had other weaknesses besides caring for weaklings. It was bad enough that he shared his great bloodline with human scum but to think that his father may have sired a crossbreeded Inu-Nymph just soured his stomach.

Yuriko narrowed her eyes. "I heard that!" she snarled with her face turning the same color as her eyes. "Get your mind out of the gutter!"

Sesshomaru smirked; his hunch was right. What rumors he had heard were true; the strongest Nymphs were able to read thoughts.

After Yuriko controlled her temper she continued. "The great InuTaisho saved my people from the Oni that invaded our lands over four hundred years ago, as my thanks I promised to do him one favor by using my magic. As you know that's a precious gift. A few years before his demise, he came to me and claimed my offer." Yuriko closed her weapon fans and placed it inside her robes before continuing.

"As you know Sesshomaru, your father was so powerful that he was gifted with foresight. He used his powers to set the future for the greater good in his absence. The greater good includes you" She began to pace slowly around the listening Dai-youkai.

Sesshomaru sheathed his sword as he stood stationary. Satisfied, Yuriko continued, "Because of your father's foresight he was able to see the future. In that future, your worst nightmare comes true, Sesshy; humans rules the earth."

Forgetting his composure for a moment Sesshomaru snorted. "Ridiculous"

Yuriko continued, ignoring Sesshomaru's denial. "Otherworldly creatures such as ourselves will depart from Japan and all the earth. The ones that decide to remain have to disguise themselves and live among the humans in secrecy."

Sesshomaru frowned. It was his worst nightmare, in fact when he was a pup he really did have a nightmare about humans ruling the world and youkais turned into slaves. It was beyond his comprehension. How can stupid, weak bodied humans inherit the earth?

"Technology" Yuriko answered suddenly. "Creatures like us ignore such things but it excites the humans. They will keep discovering until they are in domination but because humans are greedier than other race and will eventually destroy themselves with their own technology. Pathetic isn't it?" she asked turning to him.

The Dai-youkai only glared at her. "Oops!" she said giddily. "My bad! I didn't mean to hear your thoughts, it just sorta came to me!"

She sobered and continued. "But enlighten me Sesshomaru how do you feel about humans now after your father has given you the Tenseiga?"

"Why should I answer you?" he answered with a question.

"Because the way you answer me will determined my actions from here on out" she answered simply.

"Expect for Rin, I despise all humans. I will never live among them nor allow one too long in my presence. My father considered my hatred as a weakness, but that's ridiculous. He had loved humans and now he's dead. My hatred makes me stronger" with that response he began to walk away with his pack following him. This nymph had wasted enough of his day.

"Well then you leave me no choice"

Yuriko reached into inner burgundy robes and pulled out a yin/yang pendant and two pieces of hair, one silver and the other black.

"Enough" Sesshomaru said coldly. He turned back around.

In a blinking of an eye he unleashed his poison nails on Yuriko. Yuriko evaded the attack by placing up a barrier. The ying-yang pendant rose from her hand. One into each hand, she placed the strands of hair and began to chant in her native tongue. The hairs turned into blue energy. The energies left her hand and then engulfed Sesshomaru. Pain erupted all over his body and Sesshomaru blanked out and fell to the ground. After a moment he quickly regained conciseness.

Sesshomaru ignored the screams of his comrades. His rage was focused on Yuriko. "WHAT HAD YOU DONE TO THIS SESSHOMARU?!" he roared, rising to his feet.

Yuriko smiled triumphly. "InuTaisho's wishes… He has given you a gift!" she chirped. She was so caught up in her bliss that she didn't notice Sesshomaru using his super speed. His eyes had bled red. She gasped in surprise as a mighty hand grabbed her throat and lifted her in the air.

Yuriko chuckled. "I would love to tell you what spell I casted but at your father's request, but I cannot. You will have to figure it out. After you do, I will check in on you from time to time."

She patted his head. "Toodles!" before Sesshomaru could respond. A bizarre whirlwind formed around her causing Sesshomaru to release her and to brace himself. In an instant Yuriko was gone. The only thing that lingered was the smell of water lilies and pink petals showering to the ground.

Sesshomaru's eyes turned back to golden orbs. He stood immobile for sometime in deep thought. What curse—or blessing did she place on him? What could this curse possibly do to change his outlook on everything that made him Sesshomaru? He shook his head. His father was a mighty warrior in battle but in private, a quirky youkai. He shook his head.

"We're leaving" he told his pack. Immediately they followed him.

He was going to see a seer or a miko who could tell him of his unexpected 'gift'.

I'm starting fresh on all my stories because the mother board in my old laptop got fried because of electric surges. So it's either pay $300 to fixed it or put some money w/$300 and get a new one; which one would you chose? It's obvious…I apologize to my earlier readers.
