Ryuki's Disclaimer: bah, I wish I owned Inuyasha or any of its characters…especially Sesshoumaru and Midoriko…but I don't, so there…all I own is this plot.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! Where on earth are you going?" the small green toad hurried to catch up as his small legs hurried. "Lord Sesshoumaru!!!" Jaken called out in his usual annoying voice. Sesshoumaru looked back, and gave a stare that would of sent the worst of demons scattering away in fright.
"I need some privacy, some time alone…that means away from you." He said in a voice that was close to a whisper, yet so deadly. He closed his eyes in annoyance and walked away from his loyal servant, Jaken, who tried to chase after him, but got lost as Sesshoumaru disappeared in a flash.
"Be careful Milord…" Jaken whispered into the air as he bowed.

Hoping to find some peace in destruction, Sesshoumaru wandered through the forest, blasting away any sign of low class Youkais and basically anything that stood in this TaiYoukai's way. A short while later, he came upon a small village.
Sesshoumaru stepped in to the village, hidden by the shadows of a tree. His ears picked up a certain conversation a few miles away that got him interested…
"…Did you hear? The prophecy would come true this year, the prophecy of the Angelic Demon, he is suppose to be a pure-hearted demon, though I don't see how any demon at all can be pure-hearted…" a villager muttered to another one, the 2nd villager nodded in agreement and muttered something.
"The demon is described to be angel-like with long white hair and gracefulness like the wind. He is supposed to be friendly to mortals and Youkais alike…" the first villager continued on blabbing to his company, probably the only one who would listen.
If the prophecy is true, Inuyasha better not be the one… that would be an embarrassment to all Youkais and Hanyous alike. He is not as graceful as the wind, I might add… Sesshoumaru thought, his face showing a deadly calm expression that seemed just a bit too calm. Then, when that conversation ended, he couldn't help but pick up another one, a quite disturbing one at that.
"The Angelic Demon is suppose to be REALLY hunky and cute and mysterious…" couple of maidens also from the village started their own conversation about the prophecy near by.
"If he is as he is described, then…"a fat maiden added and sighed dreamily. "SO CUTE!!!!" the maiden beamed and you can almost see heart flowers blooming.
"Midoriko's cave is where the Pure-Hearted Demon is suppose to be…" a sigh was heard. "I wish that the Angelic Slayer would have an interest in me…" another fairer Maiden said dreamily, her eyes all misty. "He is suppose to change the past, yet preserve the future, all within this year…oh he must be the most powerful thing ever! If only I could go into Midoriko's cave…"
Sesshoumaru closed his fierce yellow eyes and opened them slowly again.
Mortals…they are weak…Sesshoumaru said as he spat on the ground and walked away. I shall destroy the cave to make sure this stupid prophecy does not come true, and then, nothing will be changed from the past, or the future…the future now is well as it is… Sesshoumaru thought as he smirked ever so slightly and walked towards the cave of the beautiful Miko - Midoriko.

So this is the famous cave of the famous Miko, Midoriko…this falls when in compare to the Western Castle… Sesshoumaru glanced calmly; as if he was about to squish a flower, not destroy a cave. He closed his eyes as he took out his Toukinjin. "Sayonara…" He muttered and was about to slice the cave in half.
Then, he heard a faint voice, calling him from within.
Sesshoumaru's ear twitched as he trying to pick up that faint voice again. He scanned his surroundings, hoping to find some clues. He lowered his sword and studied the cave from a distance suspiciously. Then, knowing that he's got nothing to lose, he slowly and gracefully walked in the dark cave. He did not realize the barrier to keep Youkais and other unkind people out let him in.
It was so quiet that even a mere human can hear the slightest drop of water on the cold ground. Sesshoumaru looked around, enjoying the silence that he has not had for quite a while. Moments past, Sesshoumaru stayed in the cave, not in his usual defensive self. Just then, a rustle of wind fluttered by, and the faint voice was heard again, blurry, unclear, which was unusual for a Youkai like Sesshoumaru, for he had hearing that was at least 100 times greater then humans. Sesshoumaru growled quietly, yet deadly as he scanned his surroundings again, this time, seeing something.
"Who are you?" Sesshoumaru growled, and because of his usual reflexes, got ready to unsheathe his sword, the Toukinjin, made from the fang of one of Naraku's short-lived attachments, Goshiniki.
"You are Sesshoumaru, are you not? You are the chosen one, for that you must come with me…" the soul spoke, with a soft faint voice that tinkered like a bell.
"Why should I come with you?" Sesshoumaru frowned.
"It is your destiny…come," the soul whispered again, and within a second, Sesshoumaru plunged into a deep sea of darkness…
