A/N: ok, so this story I came up with a long time ago. I couldn't sleep so I started thinking and this story just popped into my head :-) I am going to use the name Kairi (kah-EE-ree) as the name for Sessy and Rin's daughter in every single story I write from now on because I am tired of looking up names and remembering their spelling and I made this one up myself. This story will be written in chapters, and this is my frist time writing a fanfic with chapters, so please bear with me. This story takes place in modern times.

ENJOY!

Sesshomaru was sitting at the kitchen table sipping his morning cup of coffee when the doorbell rang.

"I GOT IT!"

There was a thundering of footsteps as his daughter came down the stairs and opened the door. A teenage boy stood on the other side. He was tall, with light blue hair tied up in a ponytail. He wore jeans and a white sweater, and he had two sky blue feather wings sticking out of his back. (A/N: ok, so imagine an angel with blue wings and blue hair). This particular bird-demon was Jarsha, the boyfriend of Kairi Marie Takahashi (a.k.a: Kai), the daughter of Sesshomaru and Rin Takahashi. Kairi was a half-demon with silver hair, fluffy dog ears, and a dog tail sticking out of a hole in her custom-made black jeans. She was punk, but had a cheery disposition. She liked combat-boots and bands like Disturbed, 5-Finger-Death-Punch, and Evanescence. But, she volunteered at charities and animal shelters, and she read to kindergarteners every Wednesday. At this moment, she had jumped up and hugged Jarsha, who smiled at her in return.

Kai invited him inside then ran upstairs to get something. Jarsha stood awkwardly in the kitchen while Sesshomaru glared at him over his coffee. He thought it was funny when the boy paled with fear.

"DAD! WILL YA STOP SCARING HIM? SHEESH!" Kai yelled from upstairs. He always did this whenever Jarsha came over.

Sesshomaru only chuckled. Rin walked into the room at that moment and smiled a "Good morning" to Jarsha. He nodded and muttered a reply. Sesshomaru growled low in his chest and Rin whacked him upside the head, causing him to chuckle more into his coffee. Teasing the boy was so much fun. Besides, he had to find some way to get back at the boy for stealing his daughters heart. Don't take it wrong, he loved Kairi with all his heart and wanted her to be happy, but he never got to spend anymore time with her without the stupid boy butting in. He believed that the boy wasn't worthy of his Kairi. Jarsha had yet to prove his worth for Kai, as was custom by inu-demons when looking for a mate. Unfortunately, Jarsha was a bird-demon. And this was the 21st century, demon mating rituals didn't quite apply anymore.(A/N: ok, that just sounded wrong e.0)

"Hey, you ready?" Kai asked Jarsha as she came down the stairs and walked to the fridge, grabbing a yogurt-cup and a root-beer. Meanwhile, Jarsha moved closer to the door, eager to be away from Mr. Takahashi's piercing glare. They were going to the park for part of the day.

"Later losers!" she said, kissing her father on the cheek and hugging her mom. She headed toward the door. Jarsha took her free hand in his own.

"Don't forget! Your father is leaving for Chicago at four!" Rin called after her. Sesshomaru was the head of a very large company and was leaving for the week for a series of very important meetings.

Kai turned and waved at them. "I won't."

After they left, Rin turned to glare at Sesshomaru. She didn't like how he scared poor Jarsha like that and had told him many a time to cease his frightening glares. And every time she asked why he did it, she got the same answer.

"You know, he is actually a very sensible and responsible young man. If you took the time to actually talk to him and get to know him better, you would know this! I actually believe that they love each other..." Sesshomaru's eyes darkened at this, but Rin ignored him. "...they even may come to be a couple. Kai is seventeen now. She is plenty of old enough to have a mate. I was sixteen when you took me! SIXTEEN! And your getting all upset over her merely dating a single boy! What is the meaning of this?" Sesshomaru opened his mouth to answer but Rin held her hands p to silence him. "Don't tell me, 'She's too young, times have changed. I do not believe he is worthy. He has not yet proved himself.'"

Rin said all of this while mimicking her mate's voice horribly. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes at her and took another sip of his coffee. When he sensed Rin had calmed down slightly, he spoke.

"I merely do not like his background. His family is one of the most watched by the demon council, he has no demonic powers to speak of, he has no job, he lives on the streets, he has absolutely no way of providing for Kairi! He doesn't even go to school! I just believe that they are jumping too quickly into this and that they should wait a few years for him to settle his...affairs...and they are both underage according to the American laws. This isn't the Feudal Era any more, Rin. Things have changed."

Rin rolled her eyes. "What about Kairi? What about what she wants? If she loves him, Sesshomaru, and you do not agree to their coupling and force him out of her life, she will hate you for it. And just because his family isn't the most honorable family in America, that doesn't mean he is just like them. Give them a chance. You'll see. Everything is going to be just fine." Rin patted his shoulder then walked out of the kitchen to do something around the house.

Sesshomaru sighed. He was never going to see what they saw. He was sure of it.

They all stood in the airport. Rin hugged Sesshomaru goodbye and gave him a quick kiss as he promised to be home soon. After he was done saying goodbye to his mate, he turned to his daughter who jumped up and hugged him. He hugged her back and whispered a goodbye in her ear. When he pulled away from her he ruffled her hair, making her playfully shrink away from him and swat at her bangs, causing Sesshomaru to chuckle softly. He turned to Jarsha, who nodded in respect and held out his hand. Sesshomaru looked at it for a second then shook it, making sure not to let his prejudice get the best of him and break the boy's hand. He took one last look at his mate and daughter, then turned and walked away. When he was on the plane, his thoughts returned to what Rin had said earlier.

"What about Kairi? What about what she wants? If she loves him, Sesshomaru, and you do not agree to their coupling and force him out of her life, she will hate you for it."

He sighed. This was going to be hard. Kairi was turning eighteen in a month. At that time, as was tradition nowadays, she would choose her life's path. If she chose Jarsha, then he wouldn't be able to object, or else she'll never forgive him. He didn't like to admit it, but he had seen the way that Jarsha and Kai looked at each other. It was almost the same way he and Rin looked at each other, with their eyes full of love and happiness. He wanted Kairi to be happy, but he also wanted her to live a good life, filled with opportunity. A much better life than her older brother's. When he was 20 demonwise, he had moved and now lived in a small Los Angeles apartment, whereas they lived in a spacious mansion in Maine. Everything was slipping right out of Sesshomaru's hands, and he didn't know how to grasp it again.

"What am I going to do?" he quietly thought.
