Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. And I'm having a bit of a Writer's Block
right now so I will not be updating often, unless I get some really good
reviews.

Chapter 5- Inuyasha's Secret
Sesshoumaru, Jaken, and Rin are walking through a forest. The scenery is lush, full of trees and bushes. The sun is beaming down on the group. Rin is running before Sesshoumaru, picking up flowers and putting them on her hair.
"Do I look nice, Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked, smiling innocently.
"Hn" was Sesshoumaru's response, with a blank expression on his face.
"Look here, girl, you have offended Sesshoumaru-sama! Sesshoumaru-sama I will dispose of this annoying child immediately! No more trouble for you!" and me Jaken thought happily
"Shut up Jaken. If anyone offends me the most, it is most likely to be you."
"Se-Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken paled to hear his master condemn him to the same level as Rin. He never understood why Sesshomaru-sama allowed a human girl to follow him. What a disgrace to the Lord of the Western Lands. Not to mention the noise level Rin brought with her.
"Haha, toady, you look white! This is really funny. You'd look better like this." Rin danced around Jaken and put a large red flower on his head. The toad brushed it away in annoyance.
"Sesshoumaru-sama..."
"Be quiet Jaken. You too, Rin."
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin listen to Sesshoumaru-sama. Not to a little toady." Rin stuck her tongue out at Jaken, and then hid behind Sesshoumaru. Jaken sighed and shook his head.
Why me? Jaken though. Why in the entire world does it have to be ME? Babysiting.how degrading.
Then, the forest rustles with intense unrest. The leaves are swaying eagerly, but no wind is felt. Sesshoumaru motions to Rin and Jaken, and the group stops, dead silent.
"I thought you would be coming to visit me soon..Sesshoumaru." a voice is heard in the air "Ewwwwwww.a GHOST!!A voice came from the sky!!!!" Rin shook her head violently in a scared manner, her eyes looking extremely large and fearful.
"Shut up, Rin, you stupid girl. Sesshoumaru-sama isn't afraid of ghosts." Jaken commanded, but he himself shivered at the thought. There's nothing here. How can it be invisible?!
Sesshoumaru looked up at the sky, slightly annoyed that his servant would even dare suggest such an idea, he, the great lord of the western lands, afraid?! What rubbish.
"You know why I have come.Bokusenou?" Sesshoumaru addressed a large tree in front of him. The tree has the face of an old man, and is smiling and nodding at Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru.so glad to see you haven't changed a bit.since the last time I saw you together with your father.it must have been nearly a thousand years ago." the tree's branches waved
"EEP.A TALKING TREE!!! Kawaii (~~" Rin ran toward the tree happily and started hugging it.
"Haha" Bokusenou chuckled, obviously delighted at the little girl's attention. "I didn't know you had an interest in human girls. Turning out to be quite like your father, you are."
"HEY.who are you to judge my master Sesshoumaru-sama? Why I ought to." Jaken pressed his staff, ready to command the old man head to spit fire and burn this insulting tree.
"Quit it, Jaken, before I lose my patience with you and dump you in a ditch somewhere."
"Kukuku.I am a 2000 year old magnolia hypoleuca tree, and also the scabbards of Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga were carved from branches of mine.I've known Sesshoumaru since he was first born."
"The scabbards." Jaken murmured to himself, a shocked disbelief dawned on his face. Oh crap, I just insulted one of Master Sesshoumaru's Father's long time friend?! Oh I am dead now.
"Bokusenou, you would know wouldn't you?" Sesshoumaru looked at the tree "the connection between Inuyasha and Tetsusaiga, that is."
"Inuyasha.your younger hanyou brother, huh."
"The first time was when Tetsusaiga was bitten apart by an Oni... The second time was when he relinquished Tetsusaiga in a battle with me.Inuyasha's blood changed." "Eh?" Jaken wondered out loud, looking at his master. Why is he suddenly so interested in Inuyasha?
"It went from a hanyou (half-youkai)'s blood smell.to the same youkai blood smell of mine and Father's.it was the same, I am sure of it.that bastard."
"The same huh? I wonder about that." Bokusenou's face appeared serious in thought. "Inuyasha is a hanyou.there is one thing he cannot do that full- blooded youkai such as yourself, Sesshoumaru, can. That is protect himself.When he is pressed and in danger, his youkai blood will transform.and control his body and mind.until he becomes a numb killing machine.unable to recognize friends or enemies.and kills until the day he is destroyed."
"I see." Sesshoumaru nodded. "Degrading. But then again Father's blood is too strong for him."
"Your Father obviously did not wish for that to occur to Inuyasha, that is why he gave Inuyasha the Tetsusaiga. To protect Inuyasha and to seal his youkai blood. Tetsusaiga's purpose that is."
"Hmph"
"Do you wish to hear something interesting? Sesshoumaru.it concerns your father, and his wish."
"Bokusenou, just say it, I do not appreciate riddles. What is it that my father wishes me to do?"
"Kukuku.I have been the guardian of your father's wish for more than a thousand and five hundred years.listen to what I am about to tell you.you have a sister, Sesshoumaru, and it is your father's wish for you to find her and care for her." the branches swayed once more.
"A sister? Father never told me I had a sister.and I would have certainly known of her existence."
"That was all your Father told me.good luck, Sesshoumaru, may you find the answers to your questions.kukuku" Bokusenou's face snuck back into the trunk, and became a regular tree again.
"Hmph.Father is misguided. Let's go, Rin, Jaken." Sesshoumaru commanded the group.
"Hai!" Rin and Jaken closely followed Sesshoumaru as they made their way out of the forest.
But what if? What if Father is right? Where is my sister? Is she a full- blooded youkai? Or will she turn out to be a disgrace next to my hanyou brother? Why have I never heard of her mentioned? Why? Thousands of questions ran through Sesshoumaru's mind. He left them alone with a sigh.for now.
