-Take care of my future son when his mother will no longer be and I will find my end in the afterlife.


Words the mighty dog demon,Inu no Taisho,the general that conquered all the western feudal Japan,said to young Shiloh long before the tragedy happened. The flashback made the daiyōkai wake up from her sleep,eye open while looking around for the silver haired eldest son of the leader who was nowhere to be seen. She looked next to her and there was the little human girl,Rin,sleeping as peacefull as an angel. Sesshomaru's servant,Jaken,on the other hand,was at a slight distance,back leaning against a thick tree,as always sleeping with the Staff of Two Heads in his arms.

The wind gently moved the leaves in its way,it was a calm night,the sky was clear painted with so many stars. Carefully,Shiloh got up covering Rin with one of her kimonos placing a kiss on her soft forehead letting her dream. Ah-Un also woken up and watched how the woman left the place,also being made a sign to not make any noise.

Shiloh,like Sesshomaru,is a daiyōkai,the difference between them is that Shiloh comes from a fox demon family,that being the reason why her long hair is as red as fire and blood. Those golden eyes of hers with long black eyelashes and lured so many to death,Shiloh having an incredible sex drive and erotic aura. The black eyeliner enhanced her feline feautures and like Sesshomaru,she has stripes as birth marks on her wrists,collar bones and hips,also one on every cheek,their color matching the ruby diamond. The long bangs played the role of a curtain,hiding the devilish sight of hers,but not completely. Those red full lips match the softness of a rose and can also be as poisonous as ivy. Her emerald long patterned kimono always served her as an imperial robe,underneath it wearing a pale pink one which was tied with a blue ribbon at the waist which held her sword. Unlike Sesshomaru,she doesn't cary a piece of fur,not even her tail is to be seen. In her full form as a fox demon can be as big as her silent companion. A red beast with black eyes that breathes fire and can destroy everything around it. As powers she's capable of reading minds,control the wind,fire and even mortals,uses telekinesis to manipulate or move objects and bodies. As for the sword,it's capable of absorbing a demon's power,not to mention mass destruction. Her father handed her the sharp instrument when she was still very young and when he gave it to her,he told her that with that sword she will rule Hell and bring it on earth.

Between Shiloh and Sesshomaru is a relationship hard to describe. They've known each other since they were old enough to be trained for battle,and their trainer was InuTaisho himself. The Dog demon loved the girl as if she was his own daughter but the attention he gave to her irritated Sesshomaru which caused endless conflicts between the two children. Touga saw and knew everything that was going on between them and often joked asking his son if he has other feelings towards Shiloh other than trying to kill her; but the answers were always short and vague,his silence making his father wonder if the little rascal was truly in love with her.

And he was,and still is,after all these years,his love for the redhaired vixen never faded. For centuries he kept quiet,not letting her know what was going through his mind and what he truly felt. Shiloh tried to read his mind,to get under his skin but no luck,he was truly an enigma for her,even though they grew together in each other's company.

Before InuTaisho's death,he entrusted the girl,knowing what will happen,to watch over his unborn future son,InuYasha,after his mother will die too. And she did,she kept her promise,watching the hanyou grow from a distance and saving him whenever she had to. It was a pleasure,she always considered InuYasha her son and also tried to keep away Sesshomaru from getting close to him,seeking revenge. Since she found out the General made a child with a human,she knew what will happen and what Sesshomaru will want to do,or at least try. She weeped,like a mother,when she saw the grown up hanyou pinned to a tree by priestess Kikyo,the woman InuYasha loved dearly,but couldn't do anything,and blamed herself for not being able to prevent this.

When Inu no Taisho died,a part of her died with him. As he raised her like his own daughter,Shiloh finding herself an orphan after the human age of 12,she cried tears of blood. Sesshomaru found her sitting under a tree in the cold white snow gasping for a breath between all those tears,and was shocked by what he saw. Emotionless on the surface,this annoyed the girl who couldn't even speak,her eyes talked for her and disappointment,hate and pain was written in them. Not knowing how to reach for her,the prince stood there,without blinking,looking at her. They were both teenagers now and couldn't fight like children anymore over "the lack of emotions" or "too emotional,crying is for mortals" so the decision she took was to leave him,forever. She stood up and walked away,under his eyes.

For some time,they did not know about each other until a fight with a demon brought them together. The poor words exchange in the fire of the battle was bitter,their only goal being the annihiliation of the annoying creature that dared to stay in their way. Sesshomaru insisted that is useless for her to fight,she is not powerfull enough but when a woman is angry,she can move mountains and Shiloh was in a bad mood. It was a surprise for him because never had he saw her like that,more,seeing her fight so hot headed started something inside him. He enjoyed such a view of pure power. Power was something he liked to see but not in all,only in him and his late father.

After the struggle,she was badly injured,but even before the battle even started the fox was exhausted from previous fights with demons she had encountered on her way and weakened from the lack of food and water. She suddenly fell on the ground before his eyes,next to the disintegrated creature. Calmly,the white beauty picked her up and carried her in the heart of the forest. As she opened her eyes,hours later,she found herself resting under the branches of an old tree,on his fur. As she looked around,Sesshomaru was also resting himself,waiting for her to wake up. Never did she saw such a gentle Sesshomaru like he was that night.

-You're weak. He said as he sensed her awaking.

-And I thought you're dead,but here we are. Her sarcasm was something she still hadn't given up on.

But she was indeed happy seeing could finally talk to him about what happened since they went their separate ways. The one talking the most was of course the fox,Sesshomaru as usual,not answering but only with his eyes,analyzing everything she said. He listened to her every word,he loved her voice,her scent. She grew up so beautifully,she was divine. The problem - he wasn't approachable. Sober,stiff,silent,hard to read,imposing,that is Sesshomaru.

The difference between them is the same as between the sun and the moon. And they indeed are the sun and the moon,one is warm,bright and brings happiness,a sphere of flames,the other one is cold and lonely. But as different as they are they complete eachother. Shiloh always had a fun side,open and helped you if it was needed,the opposite of what a feared demon would be. Sesshomaru on the other hand,had to learn to let her get closer to him but he did not know what to do more,or maybe he did,but unlike her,he is a man of few words,never trying to be nice,to nobody. But she knows that deep down inside he cares,he does have a heart,and he is not as bitter as he is trying to act like.

There were some heated moments between them,verbally and physically. Shiloh knew what could make him talk and managed to make him angry in order to speak more than just a couple of words. Physically she did embrace him as many times he had let her,and how romantic it was. Touching his pale soft skin was like touching fresh snow. But one time,as they got closer than ever,almost as their lips met into a kiss,Sesshomaru turned his head slightly to the side. She giggled at first mocking him as being shy,his fangs not taking too long to show theirselves. He used to hiss like a cat whenever Shiloh said something true regarding his attitude but she knew the truth.

Since Rin chose to accompany them,the female demon's heart opened much more than before,loving the child like her own. Always when the great white daiyōkai went on his path of searching for answers,she remained with the little human,and also with Jaken. Together they made flowers crowns for eachother and wore them,thing that on the surface irritated Sesshomaru but inside he smiled everytime he saw such a precious moment. Jaken,as always,had a big mouth and found something to complain about everytime,causing Shiloh to punch him. Rare were the occasions when Sesshomaru and she left together and almost never they were seen fighting the same demon.

Shiloh is the rational side of them,seeking for a way that doesn't encounter violence in obtaining something before actually having to use her powers. Sesshomaru being the one acting without anything to say before,one strong blow and he was done,making the woman ask him why is he such an idiot - and never getting an answer,not even a look.

-Admiring the stars,my lord? The soft voice dance in the air like a butterfly.
