R&R, plus, I STILL need a beta reader!

"What do you mean, 'You don't have it!?" Sesshoumaru said angrily. InuYasha crossed his arms, the bubbly feeling was there, but faint.

"I don't. It's over at Sango's."

Sesshoumaru groaned. He then lightened. Easier to kill the hanyou... If he didn't have a sword... He let out a develish grin, before pulling out the Tensuaiga. He then realized what he was doing. He was a creul hearted demon, but not a heartless bastard. Sliding it back into the sheath, he observed InuYasha.

He had grown slightly taller, since the last time he had encountered him. His hair was now groomed, lovingly. Looking silky as the rays of golden sun decended upon the white locks. (A/N: That was dramatic...)

The Hanyou raised an eyebrow. "What?" if he was confused when Sesshoumaru didn't kill him, he was definatly confused as to why Sesshoumaru's golden eyes had glazed over as he stared at him.

Sesshoumaru shook his head, his hair swaying as he did so, to get his mind back to reality.

'What is the matter with you!?' his mind yelled angrily.

He looked as if he was arguing with himself. He always had that angry look on his face when his thoughts made him angry. Usually, if there was no battle with wits in his mind, he would have said some sort of insult by now. (A/N Sorry if that is confusing to you... It was hard to explain.)

"Sesshoumaru?" InuYasha asked carefully. Carefully? Since when did he say something carefully?

"What!" Sesshoumaru growled. Crossing his arms.

InuYasha shrugged. A note was dropped at his feet. By something unknown.

He snatched it up before Sesshoumaru could, and read it. It took him a bit to read the miniscule writing on the rice paper.

InuYasha,

Word has reached my ear of Kagome's departure. I have to say, thanks for getting rid of the girl. She was a tad bit annoying. Now. You're probably wondering what this is all about. I'll tell you. I, Naraku, have returned. And do you know what I plan to do when I return to the land of the living? Kill you and your petty friends. Ever since you supposedly, 'got rid of me', I was working on my rebuilding. To launch myself back into human life. To wreak havoc, and of course, take over the land of Japan. I realize, that my insticts are different now. But I have a small request. I'll spare you and your friends, if you help me bring down, Lord Sesshoumaru. I await your reply with great anticipation.

Love as always,

Lord Naraku

InuYasha sneered at the letter, before he folded it, and stuck it in a spare pocket of his ratskin ballon bottoms.

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.

"What was that about?"

"Your destruction." InuYasha answered. It wasn't really a lie...

Sesshoumaru raised one elegant eyebrow. "My destruction?" he asked, as if he was oblivious to the fact that some people wanted him destroyed.

Before InuYasha could speak, a girl could be seen, walking through the forest. A young girl, who looked to be around five. She had a woman's hand. The woman was tall, and had very long, very rare, blond hair. There were two pointy ears at the top of her head, not unlike InuYasha's.

The young girl skipped, and looked up at the woman. "Meleku! Lookie! It's my daddy!"

InuYasha understood. This must have been Rin. The little girl Sesshoumaru had told InuYasha about in threats when they were fighting eachother.

'You will not harm me, or Rin! Because I shall have you destroyed!'

The girl called 'Meleku' looked up at them. Her face was friendly, and her eyes, full of knowledge. Must have been Kaede's reincarnation.

She smiled at Sesshoumaru, before giving InuYasha a quizical look.

"Hello." It was a light voice, a happy voice. A voice that was carefree, but InuYasha knew that that voice could be deadly... How... He didn't know.

Rin giggled happily. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. "Who are you? And what are you doing with Rin?"

"I was one of the servant girls. When I left to get Coral Leaves," InuYasha noticed the pack on her side, filled to the brim with the golden leaves. "Jaken told me to take her with me. Adorable child, really."

Sesshoumaru now planned on murdering his toad-faced servant.

"You don't look like a Servant Girl..." InuYasha said, unkindly.

"Lord Sesshoumaru-"Sesshoumaru raised up a hand to stop her.

"God knows she'll say something good about me. I have never seen you in the Kitchens." He said, trying to get her to spit out who she really was.

"Meleku!" Rin cried happily, pointing upward. There was a plain white bird with golden tips on his wings.

Meleku looked up at the bird. "How beautiful! Good eye Rin!" Rin grinned happily at the comment, then kneeled on the ground to look at a monarch caterpilliar crawling on a stick.

"I... Ummm..."

Sesshoumaru glared, and InuYasha, for once, was silent.

"Maybe I'm not a servant girl." She finally said.

"Maybe I'm from the Cat Demon Clan." She then paused. "Maybe I thought your daughter, wanted a mother."

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. Rin had stayed still. She had been listening. She stood quickly, then cried, "Let her stay! Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase!"

Sesshoumaru sighed, then said quietly, "Why? Why do you want to be her mother? How do you know she doesn't have one? And HOW did you get her if you were from the Cat Clan?"

Rin stood and reached out with needy hands to Meleku. She lifted the child into her arms, then answered.

"I had been observing the palace. It was always so... Pure... It left an aura of peace... And hate..." she paused, choosing her words carefully as Rin nuzzled her face into her neck.

"And Jaken, that toad-face, saw me. Gave me Rin, and told me to fetch some Coral Leaves. He then said if I didn't, 'Master would have his way with me.'" She shifted Rin onto her other arm, as the latter was getting sore.

Sesshoumaru looked disgusted. "Now that toad is really gonna get it."

InuYasha had an amused look on his face. The woods were getting him giddy again.

"So... Jaken... Is like, an overgrown toad?!" he grinned, covering his mouth, giggling. Meleku raised an eyebrow.

"What's up with him?"

Shesshoumaru, over the fact that the woman was holding his Rin in her arms, shrugged.

"He's insane... I think..."

InuYasha sat up, holding his mouth to stifle the giggles, desperate to escape.

"YOU LIE!" he yelled, falling backwards over the rock.

Sesshoumaru sighed, in an almost Miroku manner, then shook his head.

InuYasha, who's feet were still visable, was obviously trying to get up. But... Couldn't! He was giggling, and laughing too much.

Sesshoumaru looked back up at Meleku and Rin. "You can stay with us for the time being. But one mishap, and you're gone."

He warned sternly.(Spelling?)

Meleku nodded, bowed her head, then started back. Rin began struggling in her arms, so Meleku let her down. The little girl ran up to Sesshoumaru, and hugged him tightly. Sesshoumaru couldn't help but let out a small smile. Rin then let go, and said, "Bye Daddy!" Shesshoumaru patted her head, then Rin turned, and ran back to the waiting cat demon.

Sesshoumaru sighed, then leaned over the rock, to see InuYasha rolling around the forest floor with laughter.

"What is your PROBLEM!?" Sesshoumaru shouted, frustrated at his half brother's behavoir.

"Over—Heheheheheh! Overgrown toads! Heeeeeeheeeeeeeehaaahahahahha!"

Sesshoumaru growled, before he leaped forward, and tackled the Hanyou.

I'LL SHOW HIM!


InuYasha snapped back to reality, grabbing his shoulders, and flipping them both over, so he had Sesshoumaru pinned down. Sesshoumaru glared, flipping them over again.

Soon, they were a rolling, spitting, and fighting mess. Fighting for all they were worth is more like it.

Finally, Sesshoumaru jumped away, then back onto his little half brother. Intent on biting the Hanyou's face off.

What he did though, was quite the opposite.

No matter how hard he tried, he just- Couldn't-Open-His-Mouth-Wide- Enououough...!

His mouth ended up closing on InuYasha's bottom lip. And, instead of baring his fangs, and biting down like he thought he would, he started sucking lightly... It tasted so sweet... Like, Honey and sugar, mixed with cinnamon.

But what really surprised him, was that InuYasha didn't move.

Hmmm... Hopefull more later.

This was long for me... Yay!

Anywho, Read and Review!
