CHAPTER THREE

Sesshoumaru had heard Jakken screaming. Normally the Lord of the West wouldn't have cared, but Jakken was once again shirking his duty of watching Rin.

The silver haired demon walked toward the yelling when he heard a female voice join Jakken's.

Sesshoumaru looked at the scene before him. There was a female demon in front of Jakken, hands over her ears. She looked . . . familiar and like a complete stranger at the same time. She had silver hair up in a braid and was a dog demon. This was odd because there were very few dog demons left and rarely wandered into each others territory. Sesshoumaru also observed her very . . . original clothing.

"Jakken, leave now. You have to watch Rin." commanded the lord of the West, his Dokkasou (Toxic Flower Claw, thanks Rin-sama!) glowing.

The female demon's eyes widened slightly and she gulped visibly. Her behavior was not very demonic. But then, neither was her scent. She smelled somewhat like a full human, despite the fact she was a demon.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Just looking around." she squeaked.

"In my territory?" Sesshoumaru interrogated, not really caring what her reasons were.

The female dog demon was unable to do more then stand in front of him and watch his hand. Sesshoumaru was mildly curious about this. Most demons would have at least tried to attack him, even though it would have been in vain. It did not matter though. In a few seconds she would cease to exist in this world.

"Crap!" thought Calypso "Crap, crap, crap! He's going to kill me!"

"You aren't going to die." whispered a male voice inside Calypso's head.

"What was that?" she thought. "Am I hearing voices?! It just figures I go off the deep end when I'm about to die."

"You aren't going to die . . . if you let me help you." soothed the voice.

"Excuse me, but what can my own insanity do to save me? There's a demon in front of me and his claws are freakin' glowing!" thought Calypso.

"Just leave it to me. Close your eyes . . . and clear your mind from any thoughts."

"… I'm about to die and the best my mind can come up with to save me is a yoga instructor?" Calypso thought, but then followed the advice, not knowing what else to do.

She waited a few seconds and then reopened her eyes. Or, she tried too.

"What? Why can't I do anything?!" mentally screamed Calypso.

"Be quite." said the voice.

"Be quite?! Gimme back my body you-you lying evil yoga mind thing!"

"Shut UP."

"Yes sir." mentally squeaked Calypso, not particularly liking the fact that the voice in her head had adopted a scary demon like quality.

Sesshoumaru watched as the girl closed her eyes. She stopped shaking.

He had waited log enough. The Western Lord brought his hand up and swung at the girl.

He missed, or rather, he was blocked.

The demon girl stood there, keeping a firm grip on his hand, a slight grin playing on her face.

"Why Sesshoumaru, I'm surprised. Would you really do that to me?" asked the girl, her voice becoming as nonchalant as his.

Except, her voice wasn't really a girl's any more. It was both a man's voice and the girl's voice speaking as one. She opened her eyes; they were no longer green, but a bright gold. Sesshoumaru stared at her, his face still in its unemotional mask.

"I don't know you." he said his voice tranquil as ever.

"Really? I have the sun and moon markings, the tail, the teeth, the ears and the hair. Yet you do not recognize me?" asked the girl as she circled him slowly.

"I know no one like you." responded Shesshomaru.

"Such a shame you can't recognize your own father."

"Father?" hissed Sesshoumaru, his eyes slightly larger then usual.

"Yes, can you not see… oh." Sesshoumaru's 'father' had just realized something. "I have possessed a woman's body."

While the former demon Lord of the West, Inutaisho, took in this new discovery, Shesshomaru's thoughts were in turmoil. Then, in rage. His father . . . the one who had run off with the human. The one who had put shame to the family name. The one responsible for Inuyasha.

"This will make things more difficult." muttered Sesshoumaru's father, mostly to himself.

"Not if you don't live long enough for it to become difficult." said Shesshomaru as he once again attacked.

Inutaisho, not expecting this, received three claw marks across the check, it cut through the silver sun. Red blood dripped down the female's face.

"Sesshoumaru, I never knew you to strike a family equal without adequate warning." Inutaisho whispered.

"If you remember father you did not leave me in the best of graces." responded Sesshoumaru. "You are no longer family."

"That is why I came back. To help you and your brother."

"I have no brother." growled Shesshomaru, running toward his father, his claws blazing.

"As much as you hate it, you do." shouted his father, who was dodging Sesshoumaru with equal speed.

"Sesshoumaru!"

Both Inutaisho and Sesshoumaru turned around to see Inuyasha and Kagome standing on a near by branch.

"Inuyasha?" asked Inutaisho's and Calypso's voice.

"Calypso what did he do to you?!" yelled Kagome.

"I did nothing, it seems that our 'father' has come back to help the half-breed and I." said Shesshomaru darkly.

"Father?" yelped Inuyasha and Kagome, staring at the possessed Calypso.
