(A/N: This is my third story and of course it will have romance in it and a lil bit of everything else. Like I say before every story I write 'I hope you like it!')

FYI: I never got to see any new episodes of Inuyasha. The last one I heard the previews for was 'Father's Mortal Enemy, Ryuukotsusei' so I'm making this up of what would happen before that episode. You get it, right? Ok then, here it is!

Chapter 1: Who? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sesshomaru sits on a chair in his study in his palace in the Western Lands (A/N: correct me if its not right) and thinks about Ryuukotsusei and whether or not Inuyasha could defeat him, but that's not all he's thinking about. He plans to speak with Naraku about some disagreements they have had. That also brings to the subject another matter of...Rin. He needs someone to watch her while he is away. He can't risk taking her with him because at the risk of being kidnapped.

Jaken comes enters and says "I don't see why we can't just kill her and then we wouldn't have anything to worry about." He then thinks about what he just said and then realizes what the consequences of what happens next.

*Whack!!*

Jaken flies back and his head is slammed hard into the wall. "Oww! For- forgive me my lord! I should have known better!"

Sesshomaru growls at him. 'I can't have Jaken watch her for the fact that I can't trust him and that he won't have much control.' He thought.

"Might I make a suggestion my lord?"

"If it has nothing to do with getting rid of the girl then you may speak."

"Uhh, my lord, Rin could take orders from another human, I presume."

"Your point?"

"You could get a human woman to look after her. From my observation, Inuyasha's human wench is one to keep in mind because of how I have seen her handle and care for the small fox demon."

"I congratulate you on your mind finally working for once, but can she be trusted?"

"Hai, my lord. Yes indeed!"

Sesshomaru starts to head off, but then Jaken speaks up.

"But my lord! What about Inuyasha? How do you think he will react to this?"

"He doesn't have to know."

"Huh?"

Sesshomaru starts to walk away again.

"My lord! Wait for me!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha and the gang are on their search for the jewel shards when they decided to stop rest for the night. Everyone is asleep, and Inuyasha was going to keep watch for the night, but sleep took its toll on him.

Kagome wakes up in the middle of the night. 'My mouth feels so dry' she thought, then she headed to a near by lake to get a drink. After she finishes, she starts to go back to the campsite, then she feels something hard hit her head. She blacked out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In her room, Rin is playing with some toys Jaken had stolen from the village people. Sesshomaru enters and kneels down to Rin's height. Rin stops playing with her toys and turns to Sesshomaru. "Would you like to speak with me about something, my lord?"

"Yes. Rin, I shall be gone for two days and I cannot risk your life by bringing you along this time. You understand?"

"I understand. I will be fine with Jaken here."

"Rin, I have to take Jaken with me. You will have someone else looking after you."

"May I ask who will be looking after me?"

Sesshomaru looks to the door and says "Jaken, you may now send the girl in"

"Hai, my lord!" Jaken says as his two-headed staff pushes Kagome in the room.

"Rin, Lady-? Kagome is it?" he turns to ask her.

Kagome had an angry look on her face and chose not to answer Sesshomaru's question, and kept silent.

"Anyway, she shall look after you for the next two days. I trust that you will not give her any trouble while she is here?"

"No, Lord Sesshomaru, I will be good." Said Rin with a smile on her face.

"Good" he then turns back to Kagome "Your room is down the hall to the right. I am trusting that you will take care of her. If you choose not to, you will die." He said very calmly. Then just as he goes to leave, Kagome yells to him "After this, you will let me leave right?"

"It depends."

"Depends on what?!! That doesn't answer anything!!"

He left.

Kagome starts running after him even though he is long gone "Hey!! You never answered my question!!" she starts to growl. She remembers the little girl that she was left with. 'I wonder what time it is.' She thought, then pulls up her sleeve and takes a look at her watch which said 11:57. 'Its really late. Shouldn't that girl should be in bed by now?' she then goes back to Rin's room to find her fast asleep on the floor.

Kagome picks her up and lays her in the nearby bed and tucks her in. 'Maybe this won't be so bad after all.' She thought 'Wait a second! No one knows I'm here! After the two days are up, then how will I get back?!'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, Inuyasha is the first to awaken and realize that something is wrong. "Where's Kagome?!" he yelled loud enough to wake the others.

"What did you do now?" Shippo asked.

"What? I didn't do anything!"

"She probably went back home" Miroku said with a big yawn.

"But she always tells us before she leaves" Sango said.

"So something could have happened to her?" Shippo said in a scared tone.

"Her scent is mostly faded, that means she hasn't been here since last night."

"So that means you can still find her, right?" asked Miroku.

Inuyasha replied with saying "I'll try" then started to run off on the trail to Kagome. 'I still got her scent good, but there's another with it. Wait! I know that youkai smell!' Inuyasha is now filled with rage when he figures out who that certain youkai is. "Sesshomaru!" He says in an angry growl.
