Chapter 13: Legends

"Brother." Sesshomaru said simply with a cold stare at the hanyou, still a few miles from his castle.

"But master! Aren't there two of them?" said Jaken, the little toad cringing and cowering before his master.

"Yes Jaken, did you think me too ignorant to know that?"

"No, master I-I simply thought…"

"Do me a favor…" his cold eyes narrowing.

"Yes master! I am but a humble servant! Whose…" Sesshomaru held up his hand, signaling him to stop talking.

"As I was saying, do me a favor, and stop damaging your tiny brain making feeble attempts at thinking.

"But, I was only…yes master."

"Now, leave me Jaken, I must greet my brother…"

"But aren't there…"

"Leave! Now Jaken!"

"Yes…" he started to back away, bowing.

"And don't forget to go tell Rin a story before she goes to sleep." Sesshomaru said, turning his back to the toad to face the open window.

"Yes master…" the toad demon replied, bowing so low his head touched the ground, and backing the rest of the way out.

"Do you treat all of your servants like that?" InuYasha asked, climbing in through the open window.

"Is it really any of your business?"

"Not really, but do you treat everything you know like something you just scraped off the bottom of your foot?"

"My servants are my business, now, Lady Kagura," he said, taking her by the hand and helping her off the giant feather, "will you go bring our guests?"

"Lord Sesshomaru," she said, bowing her head, "it would be my honor." As she went off to find the aforementioned 'guests', InuYasha made a bowing gesture to Kagome, then a gagging one, causing her to laugh. God, how he had missed that laugh!

InuYasha suddenly grew serious, "Look, brother…"

"Half-brother."

"Either way, what did you bring us here for? I seem to remember you working with Naraku sometime in the past, and I definitely remember you trying to kill me for the longest time, so why the change of heart, brother?" InuYasha asked, warily.

"Half-brother, and because I have changed, and more importantly, because this, 'Aski' has become a…problem. Always popping up where she shouldn't belong, destroying things for no apparent reason except to make me angry. She has destroyed many of my officers and officials, and just doing everything in her power to infuriate me."

"So then what's her problem with us?" Kagome asked, inquisitively.

"I don't know for sure, I can only speculate, you know. But I do know this, it seems to have something to do with your miko powers, at least, more to do with them than with the shikon jewel."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because she has been attacking mikos across the countryside, and, seeming not to find what she wants, she puts them back, one, maybe two weeks afterward."

"That still doesn't explain how she knew about me."

"I'm getting to that, you see, one of the mikos taken was Kikyou," Kagome visibly cringed at the sound of her name, "and, for a while, it seemed like she had found who, or what, really, she was looking for, as she didn't come back right away, but, after six months, give or take, she came back. I suspect that she told Aski about you, Kagome, and came after you in the future."

"Well, that still doesn't explain why she came after me." InuYasha said to the demon.

"Or me." Inu added.

"Nor does it I, but I think this will shed some light on the subject," Sesshomaru said, continuing with his explanations, "There are legends all over my lands, and, as you all should know, legends tend to be warped over time. You should also know that legends are not to be ignored. Most always they will have some truth to them. So I listen, listen to every story I chance upon. And there is one, known only by two people…"

A/N: HooHoo! Another chapter, another late, late chapter. How about I just stop making up excuses, huh? It was my fault entirely, unless you count SquareEnix taking up my time with FFX, oh well. In any case, the chapter should, I repeat, SHOULD be up in less than two weeks, but barring a sudden alien invasion, I will probably be able to do it, but, those aliens can be wily, no? See ya! I have to look up ahem 'certain things' on the Internet. Oh calm down, it's just data on videogames and systems, for instance, the Nintendo 'Revolution' and Game Boy Advance DS.
