A/N: I'm sorry if you guys have been wondering about Kagome and why she hasn't appeared yet, but I promise that this story isn't just about Sesshomaru, it's just taking a minute for the plot. Promise. :) Like everything I like dragging things out. :P

This was suppose to be chapter 6 but I thought it was to big of a time break so here it is as chapter 7! :D

Chapter 7: Was Mine But Now Yours

It was quiet as the Demon Lord and his pack walked down the small dirt road. Sesshomaru was at the head of the pack as usual, with Jaken on his right pulling Ah-Un's reins while Rin sat on the dragon's back humming softly.

To his left walked the small girl Sesshomaru had let into his group with her silver bangs covering her eyes. She was thinking about what she should do after what happened with the incident at the campsite that morning. It wasn't like she could just leave and survive on her own. Her mother had not taught her much about her to survive since she was still very young, and what she did know was of little use to her survival at the moment.

Haven had always been taught to rely on her instincts in uncertain situations and right now her instincts said to trust the similar looking dai-youkai in front of her. Maybe her instincts weren't that good today.

Stealing a small glance up threw her bangs, Haven looked at her 'Alpha' with calculating eyes, trying to find out what he was thinking. It was a lost cause though as his face remained impassive as ever, looking straight ahead.

Haven could slightly understand the slap since she did hurt that toad, but even so, such a thing didn't give him a right to slap a small pup; she was for sure about that.

Looking back toward the ground, Haven began to think about what could have changed her Lords demeanor toward her since their nap yesterday. Maybe she had done something wrong. Was it because she was playing with the human girl, Rin? Did that bother him? Maybe it was because he didn't like flowers and the ones in her hair upset him somehow. Or... Maybe it was because of what she was.

Haven tilted her head back with a frown to stare at the sky threw the branches of leaves above her head. She was young, but not ignorant. Her mother had hinted and even once told her of the consequences of being what she was. A half-breed. The pup closed her eyes as she thought about the time two moon cycles ago when her and her mother went to the small youkai town a mornings journey from their small, secluded home.

It was strange that her mother actually let her go with her to the market that day. She had only been once before that when she was a little over a year old, but she could never recall the event. When she would ask her mother on previous occasions why she had to stay home, her mother would just answer with a "Because it would be unsafe for you to go." and drop the subject.

It was that day though Haven found out why her mother never let her go before with her to get certain foods and supplies. She also found out why her mother had hide her scent and put a hat on her to hide her ears that day too.

Biting her bottom lip, Haven couldn't stop the image of her mother's panicked face of when they were leaving, and she stumbled into a tiger youkai, making her small clothed hat fall to the ground.

Everything after that was a blur to her, but she did remember bits and pieces such as her mother grabbing her before sharp claws could touch her. Her mother having gashes on her upper right arm. The scent of blood. Them fleeing quickly out of the village. They had spent the night under the stars, her mother afraid that the youkai from the village would look for them so she avoided going home.

Setting her gaze back on Sesshomaru, Haven remembered what her mother told her when she asked that night why the tiger youkai had acted in such a way to his own kind.

"No, my pup. My kind. You must understand, even though I raise you as a youkai you are still a hanyou. A half-breed. You are neither human nor demon. For this reason I keep you away from both kinds. Being what you are is not an easy life, and that is why now I refuse to feed you lies about what you are and how life for you will be. Being a hanyou is a lonely life, but, even with this information, I do believe you will find where you belong one day."

She could never really understand what her mother meant, even though she knew it was simple. Maybe that's why she didn't understand. Becauseit was that simple.

Shaking her head, Haven scratched behind one of her ears as they twitched, deciding not to think anymore about her mother and the past. It was depressing.

Finishing her nice scratch, the silver haired girl didn't have time to react as she ran face first into a white clad leg. Haven's eyes widened as she heard Sesshomaru give off an annoyed growl. She looked up ready to say sorry, but paused when she saw he was not looking at her, but the opening in front of them.

The hanyou girl watched as his eyes narrowed at a certain spot. Giving a peek from behind the Lord's leg, it only took a moment for a red blur to run out of the tree's before stopping a few feet away.

"Sesshomaru! There you are you bastard! I knew you would turn up some time. I let you off the last time we fought, but I promise this time I WILL kill you!"

Haven's eyes widened when she saw the large sword the demon pulled out in front of her. Uncertainty flooded off her in waves, but for some reason she was not afraid.

"This one is not in the mood today for your ignorance half-breed, now leave." Sesshomaru growled.

Blinking slowly, Haven frowned. 'Half-breed?' Stepping out from behind Sesshomaru's legs, Haven stared in wonder, her little ears twitching with her curiosity as she took in the other hanyou's appearance.

He looked almost just like her, just with gold eyes instead of purple.

"Keh, you think I give a damn abou-" The hanyou paused as he caught movement at his brother leg, and was shocked to see a small hanyou girl looking back at him curiously.

He honestly couldn't believe what he was seeing. Giving a wicked grin he started to speak again. "Well ain't that a sight to see. The hater of half-breed's having a hanyou runt at his side. Did you screw up and end up just like our old man?" The hanyou boy sneered and at that moment the inu-tachi appeared behind him breathing heavily from running. "Inuyasha." A girl with ebony hair said.

Sesshomaru snarled at the comment, ignoring the group of humans yelling at the hanyou, and looked down to see the half-breed child he brought into his pack standing right beside him, staring at his brother. He felt anger at the awed look his pup was giving his younger sibling, but quickly pushed it down.

"I assure you brother, that I am not like father who was weak enough to fall prey to a human wench such as your mother. This one could never lower himself to care for something as disgraceful as a half-breed like you!"

Sesshomaru heard his beast snarl at his declaration and instantly knew why. At that moment he caught the scent of salt water and blood, and looked down to see water eyes and bleeding palms at clawed fingers dug deeply into them. The hanyou girl's bottom lip trembled a moment before a look of anger crossed her face.

Sesshomaru was shocked when the small pup unclenched her right hand and grabbed his right pant leg. Taking her foot, she slammed it on top of his leather clad boot and ground her heal into his foot. Looking straight into his eyes as Sesshomaru looked down at her, Haven finally let her angry and pain from the past three days go.

"You are bad Alpha and a meanie! I hate you, Shomaru!" Haven yelled, finally letting the tears fall. "I hate you! I hate YOU! I HATE YOU!" She yelled, giving three more stomps to the Dai-youkai's foot before releasing him from her hold.

When she let go Sesshomaru finally came to his senses and was enraged at what the pup had done. She had not only told him he was a bad provider for his part, but she also did it in front of his half-brother and his pack.

Grabbing the insolent pup by her collar, Sesshomaru yanked her up to eye level making her yelp . He ignored her though as he snarled in her face, losing his usual stone-cold facade. "You shall be punished for your disrespect toward this ones person!" He heard his brother growl at his behavior toward the pup, and for a moment Sesshomaru shifted his gaze to his brother.

Coming up with the perfect idea, Sesshomaru grinned as he still held Haven in the air, and began to walk toward his brother.

He watched Inuyasha tense as he approached, but paid him no mind as he stop a few inches away and tossed the pup to the ground at the hanyou's bare feet.

The pup yelp and whimpered at the harsh treatment, but Sesshomaru didn't even spar her a glance as he turned and spoke, walking away. "I leave her to you Inuyasha. I am no longer willing to care for something I cannot accept."

Sitting up and looking over her shoulder, Haven to in her now Former Lords words as he got farther away. He... couldn't accept her?

Closing her eyes a moment Haven's took a deep breath to try and calm the tears. Opening them once more, she was caught off guard as a green blur shot out in front of her. "Honey are okay?"

Looking up, Haven stared into blue eyes as a soft hand cupped her cheek. For a small moment she imagined it was her mother before she gave a vicious snarl to the girl and turned her face to bite into the woman's hand.

She could smell she was a human and growled loudly as tears began to fall from her lavender pools. She could taste something mixed in with the copper taste of the girls blood, and it made her mouth sting. She didn't mind though, it took away the pain she felt in her chest.

The woman started to hush the hanyou girls quiet sobs as she pulled her close and her chest and Haven finally had enough of the human woman.

Pulling away Haven took off into the forest ignoring the shouts from behind her.

"Inuyasha do something! You can't just let her leave!" The blue eyed woman shouted as she cradled her bleeding hand.

He looked to were the hanyou child had ran to before turning his attention back to his friend. "Leave her be for now Kagome. She won't go far. Trust me."

Kagome looked at her uncertain about what he said before nodding. She needing to fix up her hand anyway.

A/N: So I'm on Spring Break! Yay! :D So I got time to write. Sort of. My moms visiting for the week and My Act test is on the 19th, the day after I got back to school and I'm shooting for a 25 on it so I'm going to be working on some practice stuff and Wednesday I'm going to a workshop at my school so I'm can be even more prepared! I hope I make the score I want. My English and Reading are at a 30's, but my math and science are 17's. Blah I swear they put the science last so you WILL make a low score. That part always kills me. Anyway, review and tell me what you think! If you have questions feel free to ask me in a PM or Review and I'll do my best to explain and answer them. I don't mind criticism either, so if you think I need some work some where just tell me. Thanks you for the support! Til next. :)

P.S -Sorry for any mistaskes.
