Worth a Sister's Randsom


Dragon Man 180- Sesshoumaru is a strange person. Who knows what really ticks him off besides Inuyasha. It seems like Miroku isn't something that does. And yes, I think the weakness of not liking to see girls cry runs in the family.

DarkPirate-510- She'll keep them in line... For now. Bwa ha ha ha! Sorry.

Cirrus, the pheonix of life- Yeah, Sesshy smiling is a rare thing indeed. I just wanted to make it obvious that he does care for his little sister. Here's the update!


"So you're full demon like Sesshoumaru?" Sango asked. The group watched the road pass from the carriage. "That's right." Natsuko replied. "And you're younger than Inuyasha?" Kagome questioned. "Yeah." She said blushing a bit, "My father wasn't too faithful to my mother. But it doesn't bother me. Inuyasha's mother was very nice." "You met her?" Kagome asked, a bit surprised. The demon girl nodded. "Inuyasha's mother would visit the castle now and then. I looked foreward to her visits."
"Oi, Natsuko!" Inuyasha said, running next to the carriage, "Where are we going? Shouldn't I be leading?" "We're going to an inn in the town over." She told him, "I've heard rumors of a man who found a shard of the Shikon no Tama. I thought you might be interested." Inuyasha nodded. "I am." He agreed, "But you should have told me that before we left!" "Tough luck." Natsuko said shrugging. Inuyasha slowed down his running and fell behind the carriage.
"Why are Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha so anxious to get you back at the castle?" Sango asked, "You seem fully capable of protecting yourself." Natsuko sighed. "I've been sick for a very long time." She explained, "In fact I fell ill just before Inuyasha left to steal the Shikon no Tama. If you talk to some of the servants at the castle, they'd tell you it was my sickness that made him run. I got much better after he left. Then the day Inuyasha was pinned to the tree, I just collapsed. It was more than you could ever imagine. But I'm much better than I was that day. I feel fine!"
"That's good to hear." Kagome said smiling. "If Inuyasha left, were you all alone in the castle?" Sango asked, "Who cared for you? Were your parents still alive?" "My parents had been dead for almost a year by then." Natsuko replied, "Inuyasha's mother was dead too. But I wasn't alone. The servants cared for me. And Sesshoumaru visited me every once in a while."
"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome repeated. "Yeah." She said, "You've been with Inuyasha so you've really gotten the wrong idea about him. He's not all bad, just a little cold. Sesshoumaru's quite protective in fact. See? He's in the trees over there watching with that little girl and Jaken." Natsuko leaned out the window of the carriage.
"Sesshoumaru!" she called. Sesshoumaru sped over to the side of the carriage. "What is it, little sister?" he asked. "That poor little girl, Rin, is tired. I can smell it on her. Where is Ah-Un? Shouldn't she be riding him?" "Ah-Un is back at the castle." He replied. "So you knew I was out and about?" Natsuko said raising her eyebrows, "Why didn't you tell me?" "What would make you think that?" Sesshoumaru asked. "You were at the castle." She replied, "Which means you would visit me and know I was gone." "Visit?" he repeated.
Natsuko growled a bit. "You didn't want to visit me?!" she demanded. There was no response. "I was going to invite you and Rin into the carriage so you didn't have to walk, but if you don't care to see your own sister then the invitation only goes to Rin." Natsuko said, hurt in her voice. Sesshoumaru sighed and turned to the forest. "Rin." He said, "Come here. Natsuko has invited you to ride with her."
Rin ran out of the trees, followed by Jaken. The carriage stopped and Natsuko opened the door for Rin. Sesshoumaru picked the little girl up and helped her into it. "What about me, Natsuko-sama?" Jaken asked, "Your faithful servant!" "You're Sesshoumaru's servant." Natsuko replied, "Not mine. You don't give me much more respect than you do Inuyasha."
"Is that true Jaken?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Absolutely not, milord!" Jaken said quickly, "The girl's just making it up!" "Oh yeah?" Natsuko asked, "What about the time that I was seven and you chased me around the castle calling me no better than the half breed? Perhaps you forget on my ninth birthday how you chased me around the castle calling me no better than the half breed, throwing rocks at me. Or how about the time just before I got sick when you chased me around the castle again calling me no better than the half breed and waving that flaming staff of yours at me."
"I believe that you're hold Inuyasha and the others up, Natsuko." Sesshoumaru said looking at Jaken, "Maybe you should start the carriage again." She nodded and the horses began to walk again. There were sounds of Jaken being hit over the head with something in the back.
"I would think Jaken-san would respect you like Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin commented, crawling onto Natsuko's lap. "Jaken-baka doesn't even respect Sesshoumaru." She replied, "He just pretends to."
Inuyasha: So now Natsuko is leading us to a jewel shard?

Clear Waters: Yes.

Kagome: That's good! Natsuko's sort of funny. Her emotions change so fast.

Inuyasha: Never get her mad.

Shippo: Why?

Inuyasha: Clear Water's will show you. Or she better. {glares warningly at Clear Waters}

Clear Waters: Of course I will!

Shippo: Do you know why Kagome?

Kagome: Nope.

Sesshoumaru: I know why.

Inuyasha: What the hell are you doing here?

Sesshoumaru: Clear Waters invited me.

Inuyasha: Clear Waters...

Clear Waters: Hey, this story involves him more than my others so I invited him. You all get an opinion on my stories, why not Sesshoumaru. Hey! Even Kikyo's been here.

Kagome: Don't say her name.

Clear Waters: Sorry! R&R everyone!
