Ok this is my first fan fiction so please be nice.

Disclaimer: No I do not own Inuyasha *pouts*, Kouga *tear escapes from her eye*, Sesshomaru *begins to cry hysterically*, or anyone else from the Inuyasha series (it pains me to say this). But my makeup evil villain (Ana- karu) belongs to me.

Chapter 1- An Unexpected Visit

Rin hurry up, were going to be late," Sesshomaru's cold voice cut through the calm of the forest.

Rin emerge from behind a nearby bush, she looked up at Sesshomaru with sad green eyes. The young girl of around six had been walking behind her demon companion. They had been traveling for most of the day and her feet where weary from hiking after him. But the girl had been determined not to be left back at camp.

"I am sorry for yelling at you Rin," said Sesshomaru, his gaze becoming less harsh though he said thin in the emotionless voice he always used, "But I can not be late for my important visit with Naraku," he looked off into the distance.

Silence greeted his statement; she was looking at her feet. There was some feeling in her that she couldn't place, so she continued to examine the ground trying to sort out her emotions.

"Rin what is bothering you?" He peered over his shoulder at her, his silvery hair glistening in the sunset. "Do you not like traveling with me anymore?"

Rin was startled by the question and gazed up into his golden eyes, "It's not that Lord Sesshomaru," she said speaking for the first time in days. This was very unusual for her, she was a child who enjoyed life to its fullest. Rin was about to continue, but Sesshomaru's next words silenced her.

"Rin," he said, "Stay still."

Rin froze, as she always did when Sesshomaru told her to be still. She began to search her surrounding looking for what threatened them. Sesshomaru only told her to stay where she was when she was in danger.

"Show yourself," came Sesshomaru's voice from somewhere above her.

A woman's cold laugh was the response to his words, "As sharp as ever I see." The demon behind the voice stepped out into the clearing. She had been concealed behind one of the many large oak trees that grew in this forest, it's old branches swayed in the evening breeze. "Hello Sesshomaru," she said to him, her voice was friendly but her eyes were that of an assassin, the same as his eyes, hard and cold.

She looked to be in her early twenties though her real age was a mystery to all but herself. She wore her black hair in a bun held up by two chopsticks, and a kimono that bore a cherry blossom print upon it. The pink tinted fan she held before her slowly fell as she began to fan herself in short graceful movements. The woman appeared totally human, the only way Sesshomaru knew her as a demon was because of his superior sense of smell that could detect her true nature. This lady appeared out of place here in the woods, she looked to belong in a castle no in this uncivilized bit of forest.

"Do I know you?" he asked her, and positioned himself in front of Rin. The young girl was glad for his protecting, though most people would have been fooled by the lady's appearance, Rin was terrified of her.

"No," she smiled, continuing to fan herself, "But I know quite a lot about you."

"Really?" he said, his voice was calm but the coldness would have stopped any other opponent in their tracks, "I don't like people who take an interest in me."

The woman chuckled at the thought, "No I didn't think you would," she smirked. She knew much about his life, mostly what had happened in the last 50 years. She had many vassals at her disposal that she had used to track down his recent history.

'She is getting on my nerves,' thought Sesshomaru as he looked the woman up and down. "If you will excuse me, I have an important place to be right now." He turned from her, "Come along Rin," he said softly. The girl was in danger as long as she was around this demon. His first priority at the moment was to get Rin safely away, 'I'll deal with her later,' he thought.

"Do you mean that meeting with Naraku?" she asked him lightly, but from her tone of voice, she already knew the answer.

He glanced up at the woman before laying a hand on Rin's shoulder, "Let's go Rin."

"Do not turn your back on me," ordered the woman, as if she were talking to an insolent child. This was spoken hurriedly as if she was scared her prey would escape before she had time to play with it.

"I do not know your name or your business with me, but I do not care, you are unimportant right now," he told her bluntly.

"My name is Ana-karu, and your business with me is more important then that with Naraku," the only reply she got was one of his legendary cold stares. "We must," she paused to emphasize the word, "deal with the present issue."

Sesshomaru halted and turned to face her, giving her his full attention for the first time, "The present issue does not concern you."

"Ah, but that is were you have been mistaken," she approached the demon, swiftly covering the distance between them until only ten feet of earth separated the two, "You see Naraku is merely a puppet that I control, he believes that by collecting the jewel shards he will grow more powerful than myself." She laughed, "The fool."

"Interesting, but you still have not explained what this has to do with me," his tone almost sounded bored.

"I'm getting there, you see, I am the one who arranged this meeting you were heading off to go to today. But, I got tired of waiting to finally meet you in person." She closed her fan with a flick of her wrist. 'Such a handsome man,' she thought, 'Too bad I already know the answer to my next question.'

"Yes?' said Sesshomaru, his patience growing thin.

"If you join me I promise to give you more power," she tempted him, as if trying to dangle a bone in front of a dog. "I can give you the completed jewel shard, that should boost your strength."

Sesshomaru appeared calm as always but he was furious inside, 'How dare she,' he thought, 'The bitch.' He let a long minutes pass before answering, he took this time to compose himself, "I do not such toys as the jewel shards, only weaklings depend on such a unreliable source of power."

"Oh," she said her one eyebrow raised in question, "Does that mean you are rejecting my invitation."

"My answer is no," he growled practically spitting out the words.

'As I thought, I knew he would say no,' she almost frowned at the thought of her next action before reminding herself it was for the best. "Very well," she opened her fan again, "You shall now have to face the consequences for refusing my kind offer." Ana-karu's eyes suddenly flashed a deep violet before returning to there normal green-blue color.

A portal appeared in the half-darkness, it opened behind Sesshomaru and Rin. It was only slightly bigger than Sesshomaru was tall. The blackness seemed to eat the light around it and the woods appeared darker the first few feet near it.

"I am certainly sorry to see you go though," she extended her right arm in which she held her fan and suddenly swept it down.

When the fan had settled itself by her waist it created a torment of wind. Ana-karu watched as the gust blew first Rin through the portal, and then Sesshomaru. Not so much because she had forced him, but because he stopped fighting it once the little girl had been pushed through. As the portal closed after them, the demon whispered, "Train well my daughter."

~*~*~*~ The dimension that Sesshomaru and Rin now found themselves located in was full of danger. This world was a living battlefield that they were forced to compete in every day in order to survive. With ever step they took, they risked being killed by yet another opponent that decided to test their strength.

Rin was soon taught the art of fighting by Sesshomaru, there was no way around it in a place like this. She became an expert fighter of many different weapons as ten years of her life passed in this horrible place.

~*~*~*~ Ok I hope you guys like it, this is just the first chapter and there shall be (a lot) more to come. I just have to revise most of it so it sounds better. I'm sorry to the people who already read this chapter before I rearranged it a little but please read it again, I did add a little at the end that I forgot to put in so please at least read the end. I think it sounds much better now. Anyways remember I love review and please tell me what you think would be a few good ideas, I have the main layout of how this story is going to go but I don't have all in detail stuff yet.
