Author's Note: The story starts off a little slow and short so bare with me.
Chapter 1: Lord of the western Lands
Sesshomaru looked out over the western lands, his domain. It had been his to rule for nearly 65 years. There were not too many settlements. A few human villages here and there. Tribes of lesser youkai roamed the area. With the exception of the Inu Clans, there was nothing really grand like the ports and oceans to the south, or the great human empires of the east, or even the great tribes of the north that always seemed to be fueding over some thing or another. Though, he noted, the wolf clan in his territory had been gaining strength recently. After losing the last battle with the dragons, the main wolf tribe split up across the land. Many migrated south from the northern mountains.
"Sesshomaru-sama?"
He turned back towards the den. "Yes Rin?"
"Why can't I go see the big demons with you?"
Sesshomaru knew Rin hated to be couped up with only Jaken as company but it was for the best. The meeting of the Lords was no place for a child. Also he was worried because the meeting is normally only every 10 years. There was a new lord to the north. A dragon lord…He didn't like it one bit. "I'll be back in a few days." Sesshomaru looked back to the horizon as the sun was setting. The sky shone in full brilliance. The calm before the storm… It is time. The meeting was to be held in the center ground, the nuetral land between domains. "Jaken."
"ah… Yes mi lord?"
"Take care of Rin."
"But.. But Sesshomaru-sama. Can't someone else take care of the human? Sesshomaru-sama? Take your servant with you!! Sesshomaru-Sama!" Jaken continued to protest, but Sesshomaru was no longer there.
==============================================================
"Inuyasha!"
"Huh? What's wrong now?"
"Slow down! We all need to rest. We've been traveling all day! Anyway the sun is setting."
"Feh, fine." He thew down the bag he was carrying. It was heavy with supplies for the trip.
"Ah, Finally, I thought he'd never stop." Shippo jumped off of the bike.
"Why the hell do you care? You've been riding in Kagome's bike the whole time." Inuyasha growled.
"So!" Shippo shot back.
Kagome rolled her eyes. Inuyasha is just as immature as Shippo. And at least Shippo has an excuse. They had searched for a jewel shard for days with no luck. She hoped Miroku and Sango were having more success.
=============================================================
A pair of eyes watched the trio set up camp from behind the tree line.
"Why you little welp! Give that back!" Inuyasha chased Shippo around the fire. "Kagome!!" "Sit." Inuyasha plummeted.
The eyes continued to watch. Soon little hanyou…Soon.
