Chapter Fourteen

Lost in Thoughts

The mere smell of him was disturbing! As I disappeared from sight I could still hear his insufferable voice. That half wit did he really think that this Sesshomaru would 'flirt' with that wench? She may be the strongest demoness I have had the misfortune to meet, but she was only powerful when needed. Who had ever heard of a peaceful demon?

That wench was a mystery! She could be vicious, and powerful! Hell she could even be close to my strength...well at least as close as anyone could possibly hope to be! The only problem is that she doesn't get mad unless...unless her cub or friends are threatened!

To see her true potential all one would have to do is scratch that little fox cub! I smirked this could prove to be interesting!

Still how could she possibly try to test my strength that was only something a complete idiot would think of. Something my half brother would have thought of!

Shacking my head I looked ahead where Rin was still trying to find that revolting little toad!

As a slow moving green blob came to my feet I looked down at the toad named Jaken! I am not sure why I kept him, but that stupid toad is obsessed! The only rule I ever try to followed from my father is don't kill elders, and that toad was certainly old, and disgusting, annoying, fat, ugly, bug eyed, loud, and plainly a stupid fool! I tried to get rid of him, but he follows! Well now he has a job that he is doing horribly! He can't even catch up with Rin let alone watch her to make sure she doesn't get in trouble!

Leaning against the tree I glared at the sky above. It would prove helpful to find out about that woman! She could become an enemy, and she could be a powerful one at that! Not a threat to me, but to my lands!

I must make her show me her power! And I shall when the time comes I shall bring out her true potential! My thoughts were interrupted by a ragged, and shacking voice.

"Lord Sesshomaru isn't it time we should be heading back? We have not been back to the castle for quite some time, and the lords were suppose to all meet there tonight!"

"Are you questioning me? Do you find me foolish enough to forget that?"

"No lord Sesshomaru never...ah no please forgive this humble servant,"the toad cried out as my foot slammed him into the ground. I smirked as I heard the satisfying sound of something snapping in two. I looked down at the squashed toad as I began to make my way towards Ah-Uh, and Rin. Lifting her up I placed Rin on top of the two headed dragon. Forming a cloud beneath my feet I began to float from the ground. Taking off I conveniently forgot about the screaming toad. Maybe if I am lucky he will be eaten!

I looked back occasionally to see if Rin was still behind. I do not quite understand what I saved her. She acts like Kagome on some aspects, and even looks like her to some extent. Still I don't know what possessed me to do such a thing I guess only time will tell.

Reaching the castle my feet touched the ground. "Uh-Ah take Rin to the safety house!" Many of the lords do not quite agree with human wards, so it was best to keep her out of sight for the time being.

Slamming the doors open I watched the servants jump with mild satisfaction. Making my way to the library I swung open the doors to be greeted with the three lords. Kouga the Lord of the Eastern lands, Kanos the Lord of the Southern Lands, and Daloushu the Lord of the Northern Lands. They were comfortably seating themselves into the chairs across of the my desk. Walking past them I pulled my chair out, and sat down.

"Why did you all call?" I asked as I looked around them at the thousands of books that placed in almost every square inch of walls.

"We have some important buisness with you Lord Sesshomaru!" Daloushu announced turning in my direction. I only nodded awaiting the explanation as I turned toward them.

"The council of elders have decided it is your time to find yourself a mate!"

(( Okay for this chapter his mind is switching because no matter how hard he is trying his thoughts usually begin to circulate around Kagome! Thank you for the offered help, but I think I will manage! I am stubborn that way I have to do this by my self or when I am done I can't look at it and smile saying 'that's my work!' I don't really know why I have to do that, but I just have to it makes me feel more accomplished, experienced, and warm and bubbly inside! But thank you anyway:) Also Thank you for the criticism because without it I don't know what to do, or not to do! Now I have a bit more of a guide line of it! Also no I am not crazy I think constructive criticism is very good it helps a lot! I think I am getting the hang of this now! Took me long enough! Well till next chapter!))
