I don't own inuyasha. Rumiko takahashi does.

Kagome crossed back through the well the next day. She walked into kaede's village with a saddened look still on her usually happy face. Inuyasha walked up to her when she reached the village.

He hugged her as she cried once more. " don't worry, we will find Shiori. I promise you kagome." Inuyasha said and she nodded into his chest.

"Its all Sesshomaru's fault… why did he have to throw her down the well?" she sobbed and he hugged her tighter. He frowned and she looked up to him with tear filled eyes. "Inuyasha, do you think the well could have sent her further back in time? I mean maybe it sent her further back because there was something she had to do back then?" it was more of a question than a statement but inuyasha got it either way.

"Maybe, who brought that idea up?"He asked curiously. "Momma did, she said maybe that's what happened. She said she only thought so because she didn't want to think of the well killing Shiori, or me." She said and Inuyasha's eyes softened more.

"The well shouldn't have the power to do so… she is most likely alive in another time period" he said reassuringly. Kagome nodded and hopped onto his back as he carried her to kaede's hut.

Inuyasha stepped into kaede's hut and set kagome sat down by sango and shippo, who had saddened looks on their faces also. Kaede stepped into the hut and frowned deeply at kagome and sat down also. "what im about to tell ye should come as quite a surprise. Shiori ameratsu was the name of a legendary wolf demon. The woman looked similar to your sister,lady kagome. But you see this woman was sealed within the shikon-no-tama. She haad adaughter with the exact same name, but you see the young demoness was declared dead because she was nowhere to be found. Your shiori is the missing demoness. The thing is inutashio never knew of shiori's mother. The way she became legendary was the fact that she still resides within the shikon-no-tama and communicates with the wielder of the shards from time to time. She was a brilliant demon so it was believed he sent her daughter to another era." Kaede said and kagome's eyes went wide.

"shiori only had one thing when my mother adopted her. The kimono she wears. That was the only ting her birth mother left her according to my mother.

"no sword? Ye best find that sword. That sword is ye best bet of her survival in the past. Throw it down the well. If the sword vanishes ye will know that ye sister be alright. If it doesn't move then ye best expect the worst. Ye will know when ye have come across the sword. It be the only sword of its kind." Kaede said and inuyasha narrowed his eyes. "What do ya mean ya old hag? Do you know what it looks like?" he asked and Kaede pulled out a scrap of cloth.

She handed the cloth to inuyasha and everyone looked at the picture woven into the cloth. "Amazing, simply amazing. I have never seen a blade of such beauty." Miroku said and sango nodded. "It has the beauty of death radiating from its design." Sango said and kagome nodded.

Sango traced along the design. It was a large slightly curved blade with a sharp side on bottom that led to the curved tip and the top side was serrated and sharp as well. Kaede was right, this blade was one of a kind, so it wouldn't be that hard to find.

"Ye human's best not touching this blade. Inuyasha will have to be the one to toss it into the well. The blade may be one forged for both protection and slaughter but it is far too dangerous to allow it to fall into the hands of a human. It could possibly pull something similar to what so'unga did so ye best not except for ye inuyasha." Kaede said and watched as sango coughed. Kagome reached into her bag and pulled out the anti-venom. Sango thanked her and they all decided to go to bed. They all drifted off to sleep, their new quest fresh in their minds.

:-:-:-: (shiori pov.)

My eyes fluttered open and I looked around, unfamiliar with my surroundings yet again. I realized I was lying on a bed with silk blankets and sheets and really soft pillows. I got up and pulled on my shoes, technically they weren't shoes because my feet were actually touching the ground but hey, they protect more of my feet than inuyasha, who wears no shoes at all.

I sighed and opened my little black backpack. I smiled as I still had all my thing within it. I pulled out my mixture of rose and peony and sandalwood and jasmine shampoos and conditioners. I had about four big bottles of each so I was good to go.

I had my kimono that my mother left me in my bag now. I hadn't worn it since I arrived in the feudal era. I was now wearing a kimono that looked similar to Sesshomaru's haori and such but my kimono was white with black and it wasn't poofy like Sesshomaru's it was a fighting kimono so it was tight but not strangle me tight.

I placed my backpack back on my back and walked over to the door. As soon as I reached to open the door I felt a shock go through my body and I knew that I recognized that scent of earth and wood, the scent was forever engrained in my mind.

I opened the door and saw him. He looked as if he were only three years younger. He grabbed me by my kimono and shoved me against the wall roughly and I cried out in pain.

"What is a mutt like you doing in my father's castle?" he snapped and I narrowed my eyes. "Its not like I wanted to be brought here dog breath. I sensed my own inevitable demise and like the weakling I am I fainted. So if you would get your filthy paws offa me I would greatly appreciate it so I can leave." I snapped fiercely, knowing my dull red eyes had darkened.

His eyes began to turn red with a blue sclera. "You don't frighten me you flea infested wolf." he growled. I smirked. "Poor pup. You must be mistaken. Im not the flea ridden one. If you took more baths. You wouldn't have so many fleas that you are pissy all the time because they won't go away. " I retorted and sent my wind at him and with one huge gust he hit the opposite wall.

"Humph… serves you right." I said and began to walk away. Sesshomaru snarled behind me and before I knew it I had been slammed against the floor. I winced in pain when my back hit the floor. I glared at him head butted him. He snarled and punched me in the mouth. I spat the blood he had caused me to shed into his face.

He seemed to be angered more by this so I smirked and shoved him off of me. I walked down the hallway, he ran after me and I jumped and kicked him through the nearest door, which just happened to be the largest set of doors down the hallway.

I felt an angered aura seep out into the hallway so I decided to sneak away but a moko-moko wrapped around me and quickly pulled me into the large room. My moko-moko twitched and so did I. I was uncomfortable under the angered gaze of the daiyoukai before me. Sesshomaru gave me a disgusted look and I just glared at him.

" now would you care to explain to me why you two were fighting?" the handsome daiyoukai asked, directing his angered gaze more to me since I was the newb and I had also just kicked his son through his office door.

I blushed and sesshomaru sneered at me. "I only wanted to leave to see if I could go back to my time but he had to go and be an ass and wouldn't let me go. He said some rude things and I only replied. He called me a mutt and I called him dog breath, it only seemed right. No offense to you inutashio-sama. Just that pup over there who doesn't seem to get the phrase respect those who are older than you." I sighed and spit more blood into my hand. He had busted the inside of my cheek. I looked up at the daiyoukai and saw amusement in his alluring molten eyes.

He propped his head on the knuckles of his left hand and smiled slightly. "if you leave do you promise to return?" he asked, his deep voice shaking me from the inside out. I blinked and looked down and tried to gather my thoughts.

"Umm…why would you wish for a demon as weak as I am to stay within your presence?" I asked looking down. He chuckled and my eyes went wide. I just wanted to glare a hole through this alluring man. How could such a simple man affect me so much? Then I realized something, he wasn't just a man. He was the most powerful demon in the world. Now there's a thought.

"You have a power hidden within you that is almost as strong as mine. Yours is dormant and you have to wake it. If you stay my son and I will gladly help you awaken the true power that lies within you." He said and sesshomaru gave him a dirty look. I couldn't help but blink in surprise.

"I will return. I may be weak but I can handle myself quite nicely." I said and turned to leave the room, my moko-moko twitching happily, when his deep alluring voice halted my progress towards the door. " lady Shiori, If I ever hear you spout such lies like that I will have to prove you wrong." He said the humor and seriousness mixing in his voice. I didn't wanna know what he meant by 'prove you wrong.' I felt a shiver run down my spine at the thought of what it could mean.

:-:-:-:

Kagome frowned as she walked by the god tree. Something caught her eye and she stepped over by the tree and within the notch the arrow made was a note. Kagome pulled it from the tree and gently unfolded the aged paper. Eyes went wide as she saw her name was scrawled onto the outside of the note in shiori's elegant hand writing.

Kagome opened it and her eyes filled with tears, Shiori was alive.

"Hey kagome-Chan guess what! Somehow I ended up in inutashio's time and he is cooler than I thought he would be for a demon lord and Sesshomaru's father. I guess im stuck here. I wish I had some sort of weapon to use because apparently inutashio and sesshomaru are gonna teach me to strengthen my demonic abilities and improve my control over inner me. Could you please tell the others that im fine and tell momma I love her. Oh and remind sesshomaru that this is all his fault's will keep you updated on all the happenings here if you keep me updated there. Love you nee-Chan don't you ever forget that oh and don't forget to look at the second page...show inuyasha that too...I think he would like to see what his father looks like."

Kagome smiled with tears in her eyes and ran all the way back to the village to show inuyasha the note. She showed him and he smiled slightly. She showed him the second page and he blinked.

"So she is living with my dad and younger sesshomaru in the castle of the moon? And that's what my dad looks like? He looks like a mixture of me and sesshomaru…" he said and Kaede took the drawing from his hands. "Your father was a powerful demon." She said and her eyes scanned over the note. "Impressive. She has gotten both of the dog demons to be her tutors." Kaede said and handed both sheets of paper back to kagome.

"Inuyasha, we have found the sword. We need your help. Even if I wanted to I couldn't lift it." Sango said and miroku nodded in agreement. Inuyasha and kagome followed them to a small village on the border of the western lands. Inuyasha followed them to the blacksmiths shop and he saw the sword and his jaw nearly came unhinged. It was beautiful.

The blacksmith turned to him and nodded. " say told me you would be coming for the blade." He said and inuyasha gave him a confused look. "Saya the legendary wolf demon shiori's faithful cat demon." He said and inuyasha smiled, still not really caring.

"You wish to give the blade to her daughter don't you?" he asked and kagome nodded. "She had been like my sister! Please sir I need to take her the sword." She said and he nodded. He sheathed the blade in a black sheath with red rose designs on it. The blade itself had a black hilt. It looked like a slightly curved serrated katana but looks were deceiving. As soon as inuyasha unsheathed the blade it had a similar effect to that of his tetsaiga. But it was still quite thin and not as wide. It was about three and a half feet long and six inches wide. It was indeed a magnificent blade. Inuyasha sheathed it and offered the blacksmith some money but he politely refused.

Inuyasha looked at the blade once more then dropped it into the well, the red light engulfed it but no one dared jump into the red light to search for Shiori. The light died off and the sword was gone. Inuyasha and the others turned and headed back to the village.

:-:-:-: ( shiori pov)(two weeks after she arrived)

I heard something from the well, where I had been sitting for the past few hours so I turned and jumped down the well, hoping it would take me home. Nothing happened and I frowned. I looked below my feet and saw a dangerous looking blade. Moko-moko twitched excitedly as I lifted the blade it looked like a katana. I launched out of the well and began the walk back to the castle of the moon.

When I arrived inutashio was waiting for me at the gate. "Did you get what you needed" he asked and I smiled and showed him the blade. His eyes widened slightly. "Lets see what it can do then." He said and I nodded. I unsheathed it and it grew in size, width and length wise it was still quite a thin blade. It was half serrated and half smooth.

He reached for tetsaiga and my world crumbled. He was gonna use windscar. I narrowed my eyes and saw a note within the sheath. I would have to read it later. I saw our demonic aura's clash and I swung the blade in an arc in front of me and a gust of cutting wind hit him and sent him skidding backwards.

He looked surprised slightly then sent a windscar right for me. My eyes widened at how quickly and gracefully he did so. I grit my teeth and slammed the blade into the ground and it sent a wave of fire at him. The two clashed and exploded brilliantly. I smirked and tried to surprise him. I turned into a small version of my true form and I tackled him and sat on his chest, but I may have been smaller than usual but I was still about the size of a nearly grown bear.

He looked at me with narrowed golden eyes but he blinked in surprise when I did a back flip in wolf form and landed it in my human form. He smirked at me and I tried not to melt under his gaze, he made me feel so small.

"We will train more tomorrow. Go get some rest. I have paper work to work on." He said and I frowned. I grabbed a hold of his arm and smiled at him. "Would you mind if I assisted you milord?" I asked and he smiled slightly. "Why not. It would be nice to have some company while doing my paperwork for once." He said and I smiled brightly.

I followed him into his office and I looked around, it was covered in papers. He sat down at his desk and I sat by the desk on the floor. "Umm inutashio-Sama-" I started but he silenced me with his hand. "Please call me touga." He said and I smiled at him. "Lady Izayoi wishes to know when you will go to get her. She says takemaru-teme is starting trouble." I said and he narrowed his eyes.

"I must first kill ryuukotsei, then I will be able to get her. She will have to wait." He sighed and I watched him with worried eyes as he rubbed his temples stressed. "Are you alright touga?" I asked and he nodded. We finished the paperwork in silence and her stretched once we were done. He smiled slightly at how clean his office was. "Thank you for the help. You helped me complete three years worth of paperwork in one night. Thank you." He said and I nodded tiredly. I yawned as he reached down and helped me up. I waved goodnight to him and walked down the hallway and into my room.

I didn't notice someone was in there until their voice rang out coldly. "I don't know what you think you are going to achieve by seducing my father. He will never go for such a pathetic demon such as yourself. He already mated with a human so why would he want anything to do with you?" he asked coldly.

"I don't wish to be anything more than friends with your father. What would give you such a preposterous idea?"I snapped sleepily. He scoffed audibly.

"The only reason any woman comes here is to try to bed me or my father. So if you would kindly leave it would be appreciated." He said and I frowned. "Get out and I will be gone by morning. You may think im like those whores but im not. I only wish to find my strength. Goodbye sesshomaru."I said, looking down at my hands. He left the room with a victorious aura moments later. I gathered my things and looked around one last time.

I quietly opened the door and walked out, masking my scent and aura as kagome had taught me to do. I walked by inutashio's bedroom and a hand reached out and grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going?" he asked and I looked at him with narrowed eyes, he was hurting me y holding my wrist like this.

"Your son believes im a slut. So I wish to leave. I do not like being called such a disgraceful name." I said trying not to show how much I hurt to have my wrists held so tightly. His grip relinquished me and I nodded to him politely.

"I see, well I cannot force you to stay. It is of your own free will when you leave my castle. Just remember that you are always welcome here." He said and he said it in such a way that actually made me want to sit and suffer through Sesshomaru's harsh words. I felt myself losing to those eyes so I turned away and with one final wave, left the castle of the moon.

:-:-:-:

Kagome frowned and tried not to glare at sesshomaru. She showed him the drawing and his eyes widened quite a bit.

"So I take it you know who this is." She said, trying to hide her anger towards the male. He nodded at her and took the picture from the miko.

"That, miko, is this Sesshomaru's father. Who drew this?" he asked pointing at the very detailed picture of inutashio. She smiled through her anger towards him.

"Shiori did," she said and sesshomaru raised an eyebrow," because when you threw her down the well, you sent her even further back in time. She is now lost in the era of inutashio. And its all your fault. You sent my sister to face your father and all the demons of his time. I hope you are proud of what you have done." Kagome yelled and inuyasha, who was standing by the wall, walked over and embraced her tightly.

"This sesshomaru takes no pride in causing pain to others. He only deals pain to those who deserve judgment. This sesshomaru threw her down the well because she was treading on thin ice with this Sesshomaru's inner youkai and he was starting to dislike her greatly." Sesshomaru said and rin ran into the room with a huge smile on her face.

"Lady Kagome! Rin says hello!" she said and kagome smiled slightly. "Hello rin." Kagome said and wiped her eyes. Rin poked her lower lip out and tugged Sesshomaru's haori gently and whispered something in his ear. Sesshomaru nodded and rin ran over to kagome and hugged her. "Its ok lady kagome, lady Shiori will be alright, she is with lord Sesshomaru's daddy. He will protect her from all the evil demons of the past." The little girl said and kagome wanted to cry more. Her and her sister were separated by time.

The taunting them like an invisible wall taunting them. Shiori and herself could communicate even through time, but it was killing her inside. She could communicate but she was bound to never see her sister again.
