~Hey peoples! This is my first chapter of my first fan fiction story, First Love: A Sesshomaru Love Story! InuYasha is my FAVORITE anime show, and my favorite character is, of coarse, Sesshomaru! I just think that he's so sexy. But anyways, this is my first story! (I was inspired by other fan fiction stories to write this one.)~

Many weeks had past since your mother died of disease, and you've been traveling on your own since that unfortunate day. After traveling for so long, you don't think there's a place in the world that you'd belong in. Having no were to go, no where to stay, which would probably be impossible for any village to let you live with them since you are a full fledged dog-demon, and people will think you're going to destroy their village. You simply couldn't stay at the place where you're adopted mother took you in when you had no place to live, since your real parents died in battle. There were too many memories. She was the only one that took you in regardless if you were a full dog-demon. And besides, without your mom to protect you, the villagers would probably throw you out of their village anyway. You could easily destroy the whole village with just one swipe of your hand, but you wont. It's not in your nature to kill humans. You're a very kind person, unless someone pushes you a little too far, then you'd kick their ass. You have long, white hair that reaches past your butt, and you have dog ears. You love wearing your black kimono with pink spiral designs, and you always have two weapons with you, your sword, "the Usagi", and your bow and arrows, just incase you have any trouble with demons on your path.

One day while you were walking on your journey, you came across a very large anaconda-demon and he looked very hungry.

"Okay, ugly. It's a fight you want…" You pulled out your Usagi, and made a fighting stance, "… It's a fight you'll get!" You jumped from quite a distance towards the demon and cut his neck as you passed him. The demon roared in pain. "Oh, you had enough already?", you said challenging the giant anaconda.

The anaconda started to ignore the pain caused by the large cut just below his head, and snapped towards you to bite you.

You jumped out of the way and landed on his head. As you were about to jam the Uasgi into the demon's skull, he immediately shook you off, causing to loose your grip, and you flew off his head on to the ground. The giant snake-thing took you by it's long, green and yellow spotted tail and began to squeeze the life out of you. You could hardly move, but when you were about to pass out, you managed to cut your way out of his grasp. Again the anaconda roared in pain, with only a stub of a tail remaining. The demon then hissed for the last time, and he collapsed to the ground shaking the earth like an earthquake.

"That'll teach you to not mess with me, you poor excuse for a reptile." But as you sheathe the Usagi and walked off, the peaces of the snake began to become one again, bringing the snake back to life. "Oh, what the hell!" You yelled out.

The anaconda was pissed now. "You thought you could kill me that easily?" The anaconda hissed out.

That thing can talk? You thought.

"You see, I will never die as long as I have the Sacred Jewel shard inside of me!"

You thought for a minute. Some time ago, when your mom was alive, people in your village were talking about a "Sacred Jewel" being shattered all over Japan. The Sacred Jewel had the power to grant wishes and to make demons one-hundred times stronger. Even a piece of the jewel can make a demon immensely stronger.

"It's impossible to destroy me!" He lunged towards you to bite you and you barely made it out in time. If the venom gets inside you, you wouldn't die, but you will be paralyzed for a few days. And that's way more than enough time for the reptile to devour you.

You think, I have to think of a way to kill that thing before it kills me! Then you thought of what the powerful demon said to you. "I will never die as long as I have the sacred jewel shard inside of me!" You then had the most simplest idea. I know, I'll just take it out! But the only problem is, I have no idea where it is.

The snake began to lunge at you again and you jumped out of the way again. When you landed on the ground, the rays of the sun captured the image of the anaconda's head. As this happened, you noticed something shiny peaking from the reptile's thick skin on his forehead.

I found it! You thought. You couldn't use your Usagi, because you could have a high risk of getting cut with one of the venomous teeth. So you took out your bow and arrow, loaded it, and aimed it towards the shard. The snake came after you and when the snake was dangerously close to you, you let go and the arrow shot through the anaconda's forehead, puncturing his brain, not on the jewel, but close.

The powerful demon roared in pain and collapsed to the ground shaking the whole forest.

You took out the shard with your long, sharp nails, and the demon dissolved into nothing but dust and his perfectly aligned skeleton. You examined the anaconda carcass, and then the jewel shard. It was purplish and very shiny, although, it gave you a creepy feeling. "Maybe I shouldn't use this to boost my strength, it's power probably possessed the anaconda demon. Besides, I bet that everyone is after it, if I put this inside me, then people would kill me to get it. I better keep this to myself so no one will know I have it. I shouldn't let anyone keep possession of something this powerful irresponsibly." You put the shard inside your small bag attached to your obi and you began to walk off. But as you did this, you see a small toad looking thing in a brown kimono, holding a staff with two heads come running towards the scene.

"Lord Sesshomaru! This was what caused all that noise and shaking!"

Oh no! You thought, Did he see me with the Sacred Jewel shard in my possession? You then saw a man about 18 to 20 years old walking towards the frog-demon gracefully. You then saw markings of two red lines on each side of his cheeks and a blue marking on his forehead that looked like a crescent moon. He had very long, white hair and elf-like ears. You realized that he's a full dog-demon like you, so he's not actually 18 to 20 years old, he's more like 500 years old. And from the designs on his white kimono and the armor he has, he's royalty.

"Oh, Milord. That woman is a dog-demon like yourself." The odd toad thing said to the handsome man.

The man called, Lord Sesshomaru, had no expression on his face. "I thought that there were no more dog-demons left in the world after Nanami and Takeo were killed in battle."

He was talking about your parents. "Those were my parents. They told me to run away when I had the chance."

Behind Sesshomaru's hard expression, there was a little bit of interest in his face. "I never new that they had a daughter."

You weren't surprised. "My parents wanted to keep me secret so that the dog-demon blood line would continue forever."

"They new that they had to release you at some point, though." He said still emotionless.

"That part I never quite understood." You looked up a little thinking how could the population of dog-demons be protected forever if they kept you secret. You couldn't live forever, breeding should be involved in it.

Lord Sesshomaru interrupted your thinking and commanded, "State your name."

Oh, You thought, How could I be so impolite? "Kasumi. And that toad-demon basically stated your name."

The toad-demon was a bit insulted. "Hey, girl! My name is Master Jaken! And I humbly serve the great Lord Sesshomaru! And if you can't respect that-"

Sesshomaru cuts off Jaken's annoying lecture. "Jaken…"

"Yes Milord?"

"I believe Rin is all by herself. If anything happens to her, I will have to kill you."

"Oh! Yes Milord! I will look after her at once!" Jaken then returned anxiously from where he ran from.

How could a man of no expression make such an impact? You thought.

Sesshomaru had all his undivided attention on you. "After Nanami and Takeo were killed and you were on your own, someone must've seen that I wasn't the only full breed of dog-demons left in the world. How come I've never heard of you?"

"Well, when my adopted mother took me in, she lived in a isolated village. There wasn't any other villages for miles away. And they had barely knew any knowledge of demons. They thought that I was the last of the full breed of dog-demons. So, I guess that they didn't care to tell anyone else that lived outside of the village about me."

"How long ago did your mother take you in?"

He's sure asking a lot of questions. You thought. "About 36 years ago. That was all the time that I needed to get a good concept of life and be on my own."

"So you left her and gone off on your own?" He said still emotionless.

You looked away from his beautiful golden eyes to the ground, thinking about the painful memory. "Well, actually… She died two months ago from disease." You managed to say, you loved your mom so much, she was the only family you had, and she was gone. "After her death, the villagers were being cruel to me, so I left." You looked back at Sesshomaru. The rays of the sun peeked through the clouds to his face, intensifying his gorgeous features.

"Now I understand." He tried to hide his sympathy for you. He changed the subject. "Was this demon giving you any trouble, or did you want to find some release from your grief?"

Now that he mentioned it, you did feel so angry that you wanted to kill something. And that anaconda-demon was the only one who volunteered during the past two months. "I don't know, a little bit of both I guess."

"He had a Sacred Jewel shard in him didn't he."

What? How'd he find out? You thought. "How'd you know that?" You had some confusion in your tone.

"When I see demons destroyed like this, they had a Sacred Jewel shard taken from them." He said as he looked over the anaconda carcass. He looked back at you, "You were going to use his shard to get stronger, weren't you?" It's surprising at this point that he had no aggression in his voice by this time. He probably wanted the shard to himself, so he'd be more powerful.

You couldn't deny it. You took out the purplish shard out from your little bag and held it in both of your hands. "I couldn't let another demon take it. They could use it for evil." You looked up at Sesshomaru. "… You want this shard to strengthen your demonic powers, don't you?" You waited for an answer.

Sesshomaru looked from your hands to your face. His gaze gave you a tingling sensation down your spine. "No…" He walked towards you ever so gracefully, until he got close enough to see the shard lying in your hands. "I don't need objects to upgrade my power."

You smelled some demon blood on him, he must be a very good fighter. You were lost in his eyes as he looked at your face which seemed like forever. But, all of a sudden, a small demon bird took the jewel shard away from your hands and ate it. It transformed into a larger, stronger looking demon.

"Oh, no!" You yelled. But as you were about to take your Usagi out to cut the bird in half, Sesshomaru pounced from where he was standing, into the bird's direction. As he was doing this, he took out his sword, and cut the bird completely in half. The two halves of the bird landed violently to the ground, while Sesshomaru landed lightly on his feet. He walked toward one of the halves of the bloody bird which was twitching and about to be one full bird again. Sesshomaru found the shard that was still in the birds esophagus, and took it. The bird then went through the same fait as the giant anaconda-demon did, turning into dust and bone. He then gracefully headed toward your direction and gave you back the shard.

You were confused, but pleased at the same time. "Why didn't you just take it from me? You could've if you wanted to."

"I told you that I didn't need it. If anyone should protect it from the hands of evil it's you."

You put the shard in your bag and then you realized that Sesshomaru was walking back into the thick forest. You didn't want him to leave you alone. "Wait where are you going?" You were scared, you didn't feel so bad when he was there, but now that he was leaving you alone, how can you feel better about the loss of your mother and the villagers practically kicking you out from your home.

He was still walking, "Back to Jaken and Rin."

It made you worry more with every step he took. "Wait, stop!"

Sesshomaru finally stopped not looking back at you.

"Um, is it okay if I join your group. I don't have anywhere else to go."

Sesshomaru thought for a minute, "No, you'll just be in my way." He then continued to walk deeper into the forest.

You panicked, "I wont I promise, I'll do anything you say. If I'm good at anything, it's obedience. And I'll help you with taking down demons on your journey." You tried not to sound needy while saying this.

Sesshomaru thought again for a while, but this time it was twice as long. He sighed, "As long as you can catch up with me, I wont hesitate to leave you behind if you hold me back." His tone almost sounded irritated when he said this.

You felt cheerful, "Thanks, I wont let you down." You caught up to him as he began to walk even deeper in the woods.

He didn't say a word to you when you followed him back to his camp. You wondered if you did the right thing, or if you really are gonna slow him down, you don't want to be a burden. You realized during this time that it was getting dark outside and you wondered what your going to eat.

After about five minutes of walking, you saw a small campsite by a lake. A little girl in a orange kimono was eating cooked mushrooms. She must be the girl Sesshomaru's been talking about, Rin. You thought. And Jaken had some kind of large root cooking on a stick over a fire.

Jaken looked suddenly at Sesshomaru. "Lord Sesshomaru! You've returned!" Then he looked at you in a strange way. "With this woman? But why?"

Sesshomaru looked at Jaken with undevided attention and said, "She might be very useful to me, Jaken." He said in his usual emotionless tone.

"Should we really have her follow us? I mean, three people in one group seems enough to me, but what I'm saying is that she might slow you down on your quest of defeating Naraku."

"Are you also saying that your opinion is more important than mine, Jaken?"

Jaken got worried, "Oh! Of coarse not Milord!" He then bit the root on the stick, and then spit it out. "Ahhhh! It's still hot!"

While Jaken was frantically trying to cool his mouth down, Sesshomaru walked to the end of the lake staring out into space. You wondered what he was thinking about. You sat down near the fire, looking at the glowing embers.

Rin walked in your direction and sat next to you. "Hi, my name's Rin. What's yours?"

You looked at the little girl's face. She had black hair and brown eyes, with the sweetest expression on her face, unlike Sesshomaru and Jaken's.

Her smile made you want to smile uncontrollably. "I'm Kasumi."

Rin took her last mushroom and showed it to you. "You can have it, my tummy's full."

You didn't want to hurt her feelings so you took the mushroom. "Thank you, Rin." You began to eat bits of the mushroom so it will last longer. You looked at Sesshomaru, trying to figure out what he's thinking. You said quietly to Rin, "Does he always do that?" You pointed at Sesshomaru.

Rin giggled, "Yeah, almost every night. On other nights he would be tired out and lean his back against a tree to rest."

You thought for a minute, "I wonder why." You bit another piece of the mushroom. You practically stared at him all night, while reviewing the memories from that day.

After finishing your mushroom, you yawned and fell asleep by the fire.
