The glittery cloud that swirled at the trio's feet began to fade as they neared Sesshomaru's mountain. Jennifer could feel the restore of gravity and fell gracefully to the entrance of the cave.
She had seen a lot that day. She saw InuYasha and even got a chance to talk to Kagome--kind of. She was tired and ready to go sleep. She just hoped that the streaming morning sunlight into her room and the obnoxious call of birds did not keep her from her dreams.
She was about to head inside, when she noticed Sesshomaru was not following her. She turned around to find him standing on the edge of the plateau, staring vacantly at the orange horizon. She cautiously approached him.
"So...I, uh...{What do you say to a demon deep in thought and anger?}...heard Jaken talking about Naraku on the way over here. Are you...okay? I know that thing with Basoni upset you pretty badly..."
Sesshomaru flinched. He looked down at her. She nervously kicked her foot at the dirt, her eyes turned from him at some indistinct point on the horizon. Such a strange being, he thought. Was she trying to show support?
Jennifer continued, "I know this is kind of soon, but have you thought up any more plots to get at InuYasha?"
Jennifer caught eye contact with Sesshomaru. His eyes glittered with that of murderous intent. Jennifer was at once frightened for her life; Sesshomaru could smell it.
{Why though? I cannot kill her, yet still she fears death. Humans...}
He spoke, "Tonight has failed to kill my enemy and in turn has given me another. It may be a while yet before they both are disposed of."
"Who?" Jennifer responded, "Naraku? He'll die eventually."
Sesshomaru's expression was altered, "How so?"
Jennifer, {Oops! He's not supposed to know that. I could alter the course of this universe by telling him stuff. But this is all a dream anyway, right? I mean, a different dimension, anyway. No harm can come to my present time can it? My time. I wonder what has happened these few months I've been gone. Has my group left Japan without me?
{Wait! What am I doing thinking about his now? Sesshy's still waiting for an answer. Whoa, did I seriously just call him Sesshy?}
"Oh, nothing!" she said. "I meant that you can wait to kill Naraku. What you need to concentrate on now is InuYasha."
"Hmm..." Sesshomaru replied, turning his eyes back to the glowing horizon.
Jennifer continued, "He still has the Tetsusaiga, right? Once you get the sword, you can destroy Naraku for tricking you."
"Yes," Sesshomaru added, "but without the human arm it is impossible for me to wield the Tetsusaiga."
"Oh, right. You're demon, so you can't lift the thing..."
Both fell silent and thought.
{This is a pressing issue indeed. There isn't way for me to possess the Tetsusaiga because Father allowed it to only accept those with human blood to manipulate it.}
{How can Sesshomaru defeat InuYasha and claim the sword? C'mon Jennifer, think! Surely you know InuYasha's weaknesses. Wait a second! What makes me care so much all of a sudden?.......I don't know...}
{InuYasha is a half demon. He has the strength of our father and the blood of his human mother. This allows him to take hold and use the power of the Sacred Fang.}
{If only there was some way for Sesshomaru to be like a half demon. That way he could take Tetsusaiga. But he's a full blood youkai. There's no way!}
{InuYasha is a hanyou. The one thing he possesses that I do not is a human mother.}
{He could trick some human into stealing the sword, but the guy wouldn't stand a chance against InuYasha's demonic powers. Perhaps they had another hanyou in the family. Better yet, what if Sesshomaru had a hanyou son? The blood of that son would be the same as InuYasha's and in theory would be able to wield Tetsusaiga.}
Jennifer turned her gaze slowly to Sesshomaru. His face was slightly turned away from her, gazing out over the gray forest. The wind softly blew at his hair as he watched the ever-growing sunlight break over the trees. She scoffed incredulously.
{There is no way he would go along with that. In his eyes, mating with a human would defile his blood. But--the idea is still plausible. Killing InuYasha with his own sword is great revenge, but then again would Sesshomaru accept it? And who would he get to have his---} Jennifer began to blush furiously.
{She is staring at me again. What is it that she is thinking? The ways of this human are strange to me, yet I cannot help but feel drawn to her helplessness and fear. Hmm. How is it that I sense both elation and disgust from her right now?}
He spoke aloud, "What is it?"
Jennifer was snapped from her daydream. She had visualized her and Sesshomaru holding hands, walking through a field of wildflowers and grass. Trailing behind them was a little silver-haired, dog-eared, child who had a strange resemblance to both the human and demon.
"Uh..." she began.
Of course she could not tell him her fantasy, but what would he think of the idea?
She continued, "I may have an idea on how to get the Tetsusaiga and get rid of InuYasha at the same time."
Sesshomaru lifted his eyebrows in interest, "Intriguing..."
Jennifer proceeded to tell him all that she had been thinking minus the last part about her ridiculous fangirl notions. She mentioned what a way to seek revenge on InuYasha it would be to have a hanyou younger than InuYasha himself steal and defeat him with his very own sword. It would prove Sesshomaru's superiority and further the line of inu youkai at the same time.
Sesshomaru said not a word but seemed not to be angered by the idea. Jennifer became more and more uncomfortable with every second he did not respond. Perhaps he had not understood her.
"But you know the deal with hanyous is that they have one parent that is not demon, in this case human...So that means that, if you were okay with it, you would have to...mate...with a human."
Jennifer became very nervous. Sesshomaru still had not said a word.
{Was he even listening? Ooh--I hope he doesn't kill me for mentioning such blasphemous things. Maybe he's thinking of a human stupid enough to want to...EW! Surely he wouldn't rape some random village girl and take the child! He does seem devoid of comprehending love, but I don't think he's that vicious!}
She yearned to voice her opinion, but racked her brain for a better reason to discredit the 'Steal-A-Girl-And-Be-An-Evil-Rapist-Freak-Demon' theory. She found one and spoke:
"It would be a lot of trouble to go through if you took some random village girl and...mated with her. You would have to watch her to make sure she conceived, kept, and gave birth to the child. It would be a lot easier if--"
"You did it."
Jennifer face went red. Her heart began to leap out of her chest. That wasn't what she was going to suggest, but she couldn't deny that was what she was hoping.
"Yeah...I-I guess so...I mean with me there is the convenience of not really doing anything except, well, you know..."
"Then it is settled," he said firmly, turning to walk away.
Jennifer chased after him, "Wait! What do you mean, it's settled?!"
"You will bear my son." He spoke as if it were the most basic thing in the world, not bothering to turn his head from the direction he was walking.
Jennifer stopped. Her face was extremely red. She opened her mouth to protest.
When Sesshomaru had reached the mouth of the cave, he turned around, "Unless...there is a problem?"
If it were possible, her face became even more flushed. She brought her eyes away from his face and stared at the ground.
"No...I-I just..."
She wasn't sure what she was so hesitant about. It was a dream come true for her. How often comes a chance to have a hot anime guy's baby?
{Well never, I guess. Anime isn't really real.}
Still...something hung in the back of her mind.
"What if I don't like being 'assigned' this task? Don't I get a say in it?"
Sesshomaru looked down at her over his nose as if doubting her statement.
Searching quickly for another good reason, "Also, uh, it's just that in my religion, sex and childbirth are kind of frowned upon before marriage."
She moaned to herself, {Yeah, like that's going to hold up.}
"Marriage?" Sesshomaru asked innocently.
"Uh, yeah. Marriage. Marriage is when two people pledge to each other to be faithful, stay with, and love that person for the rest of their lives."
Sesshomaru thought about this. He had no plans for love in the first place so surely one measly mortal lifetime would be easy to endure. Besides, he only needed the girl to get the child. Then she would have fulfilled her purpose and would no longer be needed.
"Fine," he uttered and continued into the cave, crossing the foyer to the Hall of 5 Doors.
Jennifer blinked in disbelief and again went after him. She grabbed onto his empty sleeve. Sesshomaru stopped in surprise and whirled around to face the girl as if she had done him some great dishonor by pulling on the vacant sleeve.
Jennifer glanced around nervously, afraid of Sesshomaru's powerful eyes.
"Wait," she said, "don't you think things are moving a little too fast? Shouldn't there be some kind of engagement, or courtship, or something first?"
She thought of her own parents, "What's the point of getting married and having a child if you hate each other."
Sesshomaru stared at her.
{What a peculiar human. Her ridiculous notions of love and family mean nothing to me. My extreme loathing of InuYasha and thirst for expanding my own power will tolerate this for the time being.}
He looked at her with his famous stone-faced expression, "Fine."
"Uh...ok..." she chuckled nervously.
{Why is she afraid?}
Awkward silence then ensued.
How To Properly End An Awkward Moment Such As This:
Sesshomaru: "Where is Jaken?"
Jennifer: "Uh...yeah, I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry," Sesshomaru muttered under his breath.
Sesshomaru walked into his room and Jennifer walked into hers. The day ended with a large lump on Jaken's head.

A/N: yay! Another chapter down!
Some of you are already on my "mailing list". Sorry, I kinda just stuck you on there; I hope you don't mind. If you don't want to be on it...(you don't like the fic anymore? perish the thought!) please tell me.
People on the list are:
A Girl and her Muses, FranceGamble, Gaeamaker13, Dork In Training, Vegetachanlover, Kessie, and Divine-Heart
These people have all reviewed at some point of another, so I thank them! If you would like to be on the list and your name is not mentioned above, please review like always, making sure to leave you email address somewhere in the text of your review. And again if you wish to be removed from the mailing list for some strange reason, please tell me in a review or email me.
Thanks to all those who review. My day always gets a little brighter when I get a review from someone. It makes me think that people are actually reading this and I'm not just some miniscule fish in the sea of fanfiction.
I'm trying to type up some of my other fanfiction so I can get some other stuff up. The first one I'll post will probably be a Fooly Cooly one. Never heard of it? It's kinda confusing but I still like it. Want to watch it? It's on Cartoon Network right now! Check your local TV listings! (11pm CENTRAL Monday thru Friday!)
Also, I'm going to China November 28-December 21st. I'll try to update a lot before I leave and hopefully will have this fic next to finished by the time I get back. I'm going to Beihai for three weeks with eight other students and two teachers! How cool! Wo(3) hen(3) ji(1)dong(4)!

Question: Still looking for a cool Japanese boy's name. I have one in mind, but I still want to hear some others. So far only ONE person has responded. She suggested Shishio...I don't think it'll work. I kinda want it to be original and/or not directly from another anime. (thanks anyway Alyssa! Shishio is an awesome guy, but I don't want people to think of this character as wrapped in bandages). What a new character? Yeah.eventually.
Oh never mind! TWO people! I just checked my mail. Thanks France! Peeps! France has suggested: Shinta, Shido, Ryu, Momo, Asa, Hiru, and Yoro.
If you answer the question you may suggest your own favorite Japanese boy name or any of the ones above (including Shishio). If there is enough participation, I may institute an election of what this character's name should be. Think of long, elegant names too, (Like Sesshomaru...just rolls off the tongue doesn't it!)
Babbling again! Go ahead.
Review!

Final Thought: Thanks for listening. And Take care of yourselves and each other.
