***IMPORTANT*** At the end of this chapter, you have to vote. Every vote counts. I'll
tell more at the end. I don't own any of the Inuyasha cast. Also, Sesshoumaru and almost
everybody will be out of character. ^_^

Sesshoumaru After His Little Brother

Kagome washed the clothes by a cool stream, while wiping sweat from her forehead. She
had to do extra work this week, because her stepsister , Bella, is returning from the village in the
north. (Kagome lives in the East). Sarah was really happy that her daughter had been engaged to
a good family. (As in money. Not their kindness.)
"This is going to be a horrible year." Kagome murmured to herself. "Now, I will have to
serve three. Bella never liked me, she despised me. I wonder if I will be able to live through this
year." Kagome was shaken out of her thoughts when someone called her name. It was Hojo.
"Hi Kagome! What are you doing?" asked Hojo, who had a crush on her for almost five
years now. They grew up together, but Kagome only liked him as a friend, nothing more.
"What does it look like?"
"Washing."
"Yes, I have a lot to do."
"Can I help?"
"Well, can you? How am I suppose to know your ability?"
"I mean, may I help?" asked Hojo with a smile. Kagome was smarter then any boy he
knew. (Only boys are allowed to get a education, unless you are from a royal family.) To tell the
truth, Kagome was a genius. She can answer all questions and come up with great plans.
"Yes, just squeeze out the water when I hand it to you."

"Jaken!" called Lord Inutaisho.
"Yes, Milord?"
"Get Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru to come here, I have something important to speak to
them about."
"Yes, right away."
A few seconds later, (Jaken is quiet fast, because he fears for his life.) Sesshoumaru
walked in with Jaken behind him. There was no Inuyasha in sight. "Where's Inuyasha?!"
Inutaisho asked angrily.
"I don't know, Milord." Jaken replied shaking in fear.
Inutaisho was going to punish Jaken when Sesshoumaru spoke, "Inuyasha told me he had
something important to do and left last night."
***Flashback***

Inuyasha was walking out the front gates with the guards bowing, when Sesshoumaru
stopped him. "Inuyasha, where are you going?"
"Sesshoumaru, don't worry about me. I have something really important to do, I will be
back as soon as I can."
"Then be careful."
"Yeah, sure." Inuyasha walked into the dark night and got on his horse, and rode away.
(He would be faster if he ran, but who cares.)

***End Flashback***

Inutaisho calmed down when Sesshoumaru had started talking, "Sesshoumaru, take some
people with you and call Inuyasha back."
"Yes, Father."
Sesshoumaru left his father's presence with a bow and got ready to leave.

Sango trudged down the road in the intense heat. Traveling around and learning new
things was great, but not when your alone under a burning sun. "If I don't find some shade, I will
be able to cook my lunch on my back." grumbled Sango to herself.
After another hour, she sat under a big oak tree and took out her lunch and started eating.
Sango had only left home for less then a day, and she was already missing her father and Kohaku.
After she was done, she started to walk to a nearby village before it became dark.

"Sesshoumaru, I am so happy you chose me to go on this trip with you!" exclaimed
Miroku excitedly. "I can't wait to see all the pretty girls!"
"Miroku, this is not vacation. We are searching for Inuyasha, your best friend."
"Who cares, he can take care of himself. My parents never let me go to the villages."
"Good thing they didn't, or we wouldn't have any girls left in the kingdom."
"Your words wound me deeply, Sesshoumaru."
"Enough, lets go."
Soon, Sesshoumaru and Miroku were riding their horses and asking people if they saw a
white- haired hanyou pass by. They didn't get anything out of them, because most of the villagers
fainted in fear or were begging for their lives. Who wouldn't, when they see two demons. One
with royal blood, Sesshoumaru, looking pissed and grossed out with the humans. The other,
Miroku, was trying to grope all the women.
Soon they left, before the whole village died from fright.

Kagome was cleaning the kitchen when she heard Noku and Sarah exclaiming,
"Welcome home Bella!"
Bella walked into the kitchen and saw Kagome on the floor cleaning it up, so she went
out and grabbed some dirt and spread it on the kitchen floor. Kagome glared at Bella and was
going to say something when Sarah grabbed Kagome. "Hurry and clean it up. Don't you dare say
anything that displeases Bella, understand?"
"Yes, 'Mother'!" Kagome emphasized the mother part. Then Kagome knelt down and
started to scrub, when she was done, it was midnight. She quickly went to bed, because she had
to start work again at the crack of dawn.

"Kouga?" asked Alan, his little brother.
"Yes." asked Kouga.
"Will we be entering the war?"
"We will try not to, but if we must, then we will."
"I will fight by your side!" exclaimed Alan, who was only twelve years old.
"I know you will, brother, I know."
"What about Southern Lord and Brenden?"
"They might enter the war, but I'm not sure."
"What if Brenden and I have to become enemies? We are best friends, I don't want to
fight him."
"I know Alan, but if the Brenden's father, the Southern Lord goes against us, then I must
defend the Northen Land."
"I wish with all my heart that if we do enter the war, that Brenden and I will be on the
same side."

"What!" exclaimed Sesshoumaru and Miroku. "Can your repeat that?!"
The men looked at them and stuttered, "I-I s-s-saw h-him go t-to- toward the Eastern
Land."
"What an idiot!" screamed Miroku.
"Doesn't he know that we are at war with the Eastern Land?" Sesshoumaru asked angrily.
"We better hurry before Inuyasha gets himself killed." said Miroku.
Sesshoumaru calmed down and hurriedly went toward the East for Inuyasha, "Father will
be furious. I wonder what Inuyasha could be doing in the East. He knows we are at war with
them."

"Father, please don't go into war." pleaded Brenden hugging his pet guinea pig tightly. "I
don't want to fight against Alan!"
"We might not have to son, we might side with them." stated the Southern Lord.
"Might, which means we might be against them." Brenden had broken down and started
crying. "I don't want to!"
"Stop crying! You are to be the Southern heir, so you must be strong!"
Brenden was ignoring his father, and continued wailing, "I don't wanna!"
"Go to bed!"
Brenden stopped crying and turned, "Who are you siding with, the Eastern or the
Western?"
"I haven't decided yet. We might not even have to enter the war."
"Okay!" said Brenden feeling better when his father said those words. He hopped off into
his room holding his pet, which was almost out of breath because Brenden was holding it so
tightly.
