This is my first fan fiction story so enjoy.

As an elegant dog demon races across the forest, eager to find a demon called Ryukotsusei to retrieve something that belongs to him.

"Master!" Myoga said, "I don't believe this is a good idea! Your mistress is going to give birth to your second son and you are running towards Ryukotsusei! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

"I'm sorry Myoga!" the lord responded, "I have to retrieve what Ryukotsusei stole from me or my kind will die because of me!"

Myoga understood what his master meant but he can't resist the feeling that it would be the end of his master's life. Myoga snapped out of dream world when his lord said, "Myoga please take the letter and hide it in my private library." Myoga just nodded his head and left with the letter towards the western castle. After that the lord disappeared into the mist of the mountain.

Hidden Secret

Chapter 1: the letter

(In the western castle)

Jaken was in Lord Sesshomaru's private library knowing that Lord Sesshomaru forbidden him to get in his private rooms without his permission, but since his lord wasn't there he took the advantage by taking a fragrant candle so his lord wouldn't find out that he was there.

"Lord Sesshomaru has so many books, I wonder if he read them all?" Jaken asked himself. Then Jaken ended up looking at a suspicious book, he took it out of its shelf and opened it. He found out that the book was hiding a letter, the letter is old but it looked new as if no one opened it. When he looked at what was scribbled in the front, his eyes widen.

"I must take this to Lord Sesshomaru, but then my lord is going to kill me." Jaken thought, "But then I can lie to him and tell him that one of his cleaning servants found it in the office. That just might work, but then my lord is too smart for me." Jaken threw the candle away, placed the book back and started running towards his lord.

(Not far from the castle)

Lord Sesshomaru just finished off a few demons that were lurking near the castle, that's when Jaken came running and shouting his name out loud. That kind of annoyed him.

"What is it Jaken?" Lord Sesshomaru said coldly, "You better not waste my time!"

Jaken stopped and took a big breath then said, "Lord Sesshomaru! One of your cleaning servants found this letter hidden in one of your books in the main office!"

Sesshomaru gave a glare then snatched the letter away, then he flipped it over were it said his name and his younger brothers name. He flipped it back and tried to cut it open but the seal shocked his finger. "Oh so father also wants my little brother to read it to."

Sesshomaru turned around and started heading towards the castle. "Jaken next time make up a better lie." Lord Sesshomaru said coldly to Jaken.

"Yes my lord." Jaken said as he followed his lord.

Once they got there Lord Sesshomaru immediately ordered everyone to gather around him. "Everyone, I want you to take care of the castle while I'm gone and keep things in check because I will know." He told all his servants, "Be gone! Tomorrow I leave." All his servants left to prepare the things they will need once their master is gone.

(Morning)

"Rin, do you have your things prepared. Once we are gone there's no coming back." Sesshomaru told her.

"I got everything I need Lord Sesshomaru." Rin replied.

Sesshomaru called Aun-an-Un so that Rin and Jaken would put their things and hop on. Once they were ready they left.

(At Kaede's village)

Inuyasha is waiting for Kagome, Who's late from returning home, next to the well. Inuyasha of course was getting annoyed and was about to jump into the well until Miroku and Sango stopped him.

"Inuyasha don't be rash!" Miroku told him, "Lady Kagome must have her reasons." As he was holding on to Inuyaha's shoulder.

"Feh! Well I have a reason to go after her and get her to come back!" Inuyasha shouted, "Or have you guys forgotten our mission to collect the Shikon jewel shards and kill Naraku!"

"We haven't forgotten about that Inuyasha!" Sango told him, "But we also have to think about Kagome's well being or she might explode of all this stress."

"Yeah! Sango's right Inuyasha!" Shippo said.

Finally a purple glow was coming out of the well which meant it was Kagome. "I am so sorry guys that I am late! My exams took longer than I expected" Kagome explained

"See Inuyasha, I told you that she has a reason." Miroku told him.

Inuyasha was so annoyed then he turned around and said, "Whatever, she's back and we and return back to what we were doing." Every body got ready to go and said their good byes then left.

As they were in the fields taking a break, Kagome sensed something coming in there direction.

"Guys something is coming this way and it seems to be coming fast." Kagome alarmed them.

"And I know who it is, its Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said.

"So my dear brother, you sensed me coming." Sesshomaru said to Inuyasha. Inuyasha unsheathe his tetsusaiga then he said, "Don't worry my little brother I have no interest in fighting you; I came here for another reason."

"Why should I believe you Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha shouted.

"Lord Sesshomaru may be a cold hearted demon but he is no liar." Jaken said once he hopped down from Aun-an-Un. Sesshomaru punched Jaken for that comment.

"Inuyasha you should try to believe him." Kagome told Inuyasha.

"Kagome, its easier said than done." Inuyasha said, but Sesshomaru took out a letter, "What is that you're holding in your hand Sesshomaru?"

"This little brother is a letter from our father and I came here because I want to open this letter but it seems I can't open it with out the presence of you." Sesshomaru told him.

After hearing that, Inuyasha put his sword back to it's sheathe then said, "Fine, I believe you just hurry up and get it over it."

Sesshomaru opened the letter and it said:

To my sons,

I am afraid that I might not live long to see you two, but I want you two to do something for me. I want you two to join forces and look for Ryukotsusei just in case I didn't kill him, I want you to reason with him and if he refuses kill him. Make sure that there is a scroll there and retrieve it. From there you will figure out what will happen next.

-Yours truly,

Your father

Once Sesshomaru finished what he was reading he could not believe his father was asking him to do. Join forces with Inuyasha, he rather die than to do that. He gave the letter to Inuyasha and once he finished reading it, he couldn't believe too.

"Never! I will not do this! Even though my old man asks it I will never do it." Inuyasha shouted.

"I for one agree but it is father's wish and I will accomplish it with or with out you. If you want you can tag along but I don't care." Sesshomaru told Inuyasha.

"Since you put it that way I will go then." Inuyasha said, "Do you guys wan to come?"

"Of course!" Everybody said.

"But then there is a problem." Inuyasha said.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru said.

"I kind of killed Ryukotsusei along the way for searching Naraku" Inuyasha said to his brother
