Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. If I did you can bet kikyo would have "disappeared" a looooong time ago.

Chapter:2

The room was dark and filled with a foreboding aura that made the youkai's long pristine white hair stand on end. Her master sat in a large throne resting his head on his hand a bored expression overtaking his features which were hidden by the shadows surrounding him. The youkai remained bowed at her masters feet for what seemed like hours until he finally motioned for her to stand. She did so quickly knowing that he did not like to be kept waiting.

She had been called into his throne room to discuss the next steps in his plan which needed to be followed precisely.

"Speak" was the echoing command that sent a shiver down her spine.

"Yes, "She breathed "The woman's condition is deteriorating and the doctors have no idea what is wrong. I have delivered the next dose and the serum has reached her heart." She finished before bowing her head.

"Excellent work Hinaru. And what of Inu no Tashio and his son "he spoke in an indifferent tone

"They suspect nothing master." She answered with a slight bow of her head.

The shrouded figure laced his hands together and took on a look of contemplation.

"Very well, that will be all for now Hinaru."

The deamoness, Hinaru, bowed once more before formally excusing herself from the room. She quickly retreated down the hall trying to put as much distance as she could between herself and the ominous aura.

Once she was far enough away she let out a relieved breath and hurriedly recomposed herself. She then chuckled darkly to herself

My love your plan is working. Soon we will have all the power and the western lands and not even the great Inu no Tashio will be able to stop us. Yes you will be invincible.

Hinaru continued down the abandoned hallway with renewed confidence as long as she was following her master nothing could go wrong.

Touga looked up from the book he was reading beside his mates' bed. He had been in the middle of a particular part when he realized something was off. He strained his senses to look for the peculiar difference. It took him a while but he finally pin pointed it. His house was unusually quiet. Granted he lived in a gigantic mansion with few servants, but with Sesshomaru running around it should at least have been a little louder. Touga slowly closed his book and stretched, sitting for such a long period of time had cause even his durable body to ache. After taking a last glance at Izaiyo and kissing her gingerly on her brow he set off to find his son.

The first place he checked was Sesshomaru's play room which was his favorite room of the whole house besides his mother's room. When hadn't found Sesshomaru in there he began to worry it was only about eleven o clock and Sesshomaru usually took this time to play before lunch and his nap which were at one o clock.

Touga search a few more halls before he ran into a servant.

"Lord Inu Tashio" the servant greeted respectfully as he bowed at the waist.

"Yes, Tell me have you by any chance seen my son" he asked in a calm tone even though worry shown bright behind his golden eyes.

"Hm. Oh the last time I've seen him was in his bedroom. He had fallen asleep while playing and Akiko took him to his room."

"Thank you" Touga said before turning to make his way to Sesshomaru's room.

When he reached the door of his room he slowly slide the western style door open only to reveal an empty room. Touga threw open the door as if it would reveal that Sesshomaru had been hiding. When his brain had finally processed what had happened he was flying down the hall. He made his was to Akiko's chambers and burst in, she had been enjoying a nice meal with her two children.

"Sesshomaru's gone"

This was all Akiko needed to hear before she sprang into action. Even though they were not mates Sesshomaru had been like a son to her from birth. She and Touga had an understood relationship that was only rivaled by the relationship of Touga and Izayio.

They ran about the castle gathering servants and higher officials alike and splitting them into search parties.

In a total of one hour practically everybody in the castle was on the hunt for Lord Sesshomaru. Touga himself was in a small heap on the floor trying to grasp a hold of his emotions.

"No." he kept whispering to himself. "No, this can't be happening. Not again."

At that moment a flood of memories engulfed him and the hold Touga had on his feelings slipped and his emotions overtook him. He sat there fist clenching and unclenching as the silent tears rolled down his face saying to all that could see what was too painful to say out loud

Sesshomaru might be dead…
