Sesshoumaru: She's got a point.

:::Last Time:::

"I have my own ways of flying Rin-chan," Sakuya replied with a smile.

"Oh… ok!" Rin smiled happily.

'I just DON'T get kids these days,' Sakuya said to Saiga.

'Neither,' Saiga snorted.

"Well, come on," Sakuya said as she started to fly in the direction of Sesshoumaru's Castle.

"Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" Rin yelled in exhilaration as Saiga flew after his master.

"MATTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jaken shouted at the two dots, flying towards the horizon.

:::Continue:::

"Hold on tight Rin-chan!" Sakuya yelled behind her as she increased her speed by one notch.

'Woah, where are you going in such a hurry?' Saiga asked.

'Shuttup and FLY. We are being followed!' Sakuya yelled.

'By who?' Saiga asked.

'I have a feeling our little bird friend will tell us as soon as we reach Onii-chan's castle,' Sakuya replied.

'Where HAS Yami been anyway?' Saiga asked.

'Who knows. Besides we are reaching the castle,' Sakuya said, sneaking a look back. Saiga nodded and all conversations ceased. She turned around and slowed down her speed.

~~Sesshoumaru~~

"Oh? Someone is flying quite fast to my castle. I wonder who it is," Sesshoumaru said. He walked calmly into the courtyard and jumped onto the roof.

"Yo, Sesshoumaru onii-chan!" Sakuya landed beside him.

"Sakuya?" Sesshoumaru asked, "What are you doing here?"

"One, you forgot to pick up your mate. Two, I am doing a good deed. Three, I was being followed. And Four, I decided to come drop a visit to the good old homestead," Sakuya replied, ticking them off on her fingers as she said them.

Sesshoumaru gave her a sharp glance. "She is NOT my mate!"
Sakuya laughed. "Sure…"

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" A familiar voice shouted.

"Rin. Did you behave yourself?" Sesshoumaru asked looking at the girl on Saiga's back.

"Yes, Rin behaved herself!" Rin replied with a smile on her face.

"And Sakuya-sama is very nice. Sesshoumaru-sama is lucky to have her as your sister."

"Why thank you Rin. I'm very much flattered," Sakuya said, with a grin on her face.

"Well, Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin will be going to feed Ah-Un now," Rin said. Saiga gently flew down to the courtyards.

Sakuya grinned.

"Lucky eh?" Sakuya elbowed her brother. Sesshoumaru didn't reply.

A high pitched falcon cry reached the two sensitive ears of both youkai.

"Guess Yami's back," Sakuya said as she held out her arm for the bird to land on.

"Yami?" Sesshoumaru asked, an elegant eyebrow raised.

"Yes Yami," Sakuya replied as the falcon gripped onto her lower arm.

"Report?" Yami screeched out a few things in different pitches.

"I see. Well go find Saiga and brief him in," Sakuya said as the falcon nodded. With an affectionate nip on Sakuya's fingers, Yami flew like an arrow towards the stables.

"Well?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"The nekos are planning a war," Sakuya replied.

"Neko?" Sesshoumaru inquired.

"You know, the animals with pointy ears, claws, fangs TAILS?!" Sakuya explained sarcastically.

"Don't take me lightly Sakuya. What do you mean they are planning a war?" Sesshoumaru coldly said.

"Go ask them. They're coming this way," Sakuya said pointing to a dust cloud coming their way. With a flick of her head, her long tail appeared around her shoulder. [=p couldn't resist] Sesshoumaru turned and looked at her.

"What?" Sakuya asked with a raised eyebrow. Sesshoumaru didn't reply. [hope that brings the old Sesshie back]

'I guess she does remember that she is an inu-youkai,' Sesshoumaru thought.

Sakuya gently petted her tail.

"T'is been a while since I had this baby here," Sakuya said to no one in particular, while brushing away some burs with her fingers.

"Aaa…" Sesshoumaru replied. His own hand reached up to stroke his tail.

The rumbling got loader and soon, the grassland to the Western side of the great Inu-youkai's castle was completely packed full of nekos. Sakuya eyed the cats with interest. Many MANY cats stood up and hissed at the sight of the brother and sister standing there.

"And we are supposed to fight these small fry?" Sakuya asked. Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. He grinned, fangs showing.

"I'll take that as a yes," Sakuya winked at her brother. She very much liked his reaction.

"Now, I wonder HOW many youkai YOU can kill brother," Sakuya said as if this business was only a game.

"Far more than you sister," Sesshoumaru replied with a grin, his eyes twinkling with young mischievous glints. [OOC!! ^^]

"We shall soon see," Sakuya winked back at him. Both sides stood still, waiting for the other to make their move. The winds picked up and soon the grassland was quite moving.

"I wish mother and father were still here. Then there would be four of us standing here, instead of 2," Sakuya whispered to her brother.

"Are you saying that I'M boring?" Sesshoumaru asked, raising an eyebrow at his sister. Sakuya remained quiet. It didn't seem right that an army would come stomping onto Sesshoumaru's doorsteps.

"Brother, doesn't it seem weird that these nekos come WHILE I'm delivering Rin-chan? And not before when the castle had ONLY you?" Sakuya slowly said. Sesshoumaru contemplated on those words. It was true that even Sesshoumaru could battle all those pathetic cats but why wait for another to help the opponent?

"Peculiar indeed sister," Sesshoumaru replied, never taking his golden eyes off those disgusting felines [Sorry for people who like Cats out there!].

"Let the battle commence eh?" Sakuya grinned, her eyes narrowing as she anticipated the hunt ahead.

'Gosh, I love being back home!' Sakuya thought.
