A/N: Hello. Yes, this story includes an OC. So if ya'll don't like OCs, well...you know what to do.

Full summary:

Her father fell in love with a human woman and followed her to death. Inuyasha, her younger brother, had followed in his father's footsteps, falling for a human. And even her elder brother, Sesshomaru, cold and cruel, had warmed up to the woman that he had saved. Armed with curiosity and determination, Shiie seeks to find out why.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Except the OC character(s).

It was at this very spot her father, great dog demon lord, expired at the expense of a human woman's life. The woman followed shortly thereafter, leaving behind a half-breed child.

At the time Shiie had learned of her father's death, she did not feel remorse nor sorrow. He deserved death for leaving her mother and having a child with a human. His excuse was, "...because I am in love with Izaiyoi." What use was this concept of love to a demon if it brought him to death's door?

"Father was foolish, falling prey to a human woman." Shiie would say to her elder brother Sesshomaru in secrecy. And at the time, he had agreed with her.

As time passed, even Sesshomaru, her cold-hearted, power-loving brother, fell into the trap of humans. Shiie inwardly cursed him as his heart warmed to the human girl. How could Sesshomaru follow in father's footsteps? Wasn't he against them as well?

And she did not expect any less of the half-child. He was, after all, half human, so it was not a surprise when she found out he had wed a human.

Were humans that great that nearly her entire family had fallen into their enticement? What sort of wickedness did they use to repress the power of demons?

Curiosity surged through her powerful veins and she couldn't help but wonder.

And so, it was with an adventurous streak, fang in haul, and disguise set, she left her heavenly palace in the clouds, and descended down to the humans' abode.

But she would be very careful. She wouldn't follow in her families' footsteps. No, she would not be giving her heart to a worthless human.
