Chapter 3

Nightfall had settled in behind them as Lord Sesshoumaru stood staring ahead of him at the pitiful face of a human. The usual smirk he carried in his face when facing an opponent was gone without a trace and now he only held his icy interior that not even the sun could touch.

"I am not here to battle, for you are in no position to initiate a fight." A menacing cackle came from deep in his throat as Inuyasha looked up to face the demon lord before him.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Telling me what to do! No one tells me what to do, especially arrogant demons who think they're better than everybody else." Sesshoumaru dismissed his acts as stupidity and decided against ripping his head off for he was better than that. But what he couldn't figure out was the sudden sensation that not everything was right with Inuyasha, not that he cared but he was curious to know.

"Where is your usual company? That group of humans you allowed to become your companions." Inuyasha's blank face wasn't the response Sesshoumaru expected from his hotheaded brother. He expected a loud response followed with a meager attempt of attack, but he wasn't doing anything but staring at him with dumbfounded eyes.

"Companions? What are you talking about? I work alone; groups are nothing but a band of weaklings who can't be alone. I'm stronger than that." Trying to puff out his chest he moaned as his back screeched with pain. Leaning against his sword, Lord Sesshoumaru noticed that it wasn't transformed. Remembering that all half demons lose their demon blood for one night he looked up into the night sky and saw that it was a half moon, and decided that this was the night when Inuyasha lost his demon blood for he was before him in the form of a human. But something didn't feel right.

"Are you saying that you abandoned your group?" Sesshoumaru pressed on, determined to find out what happened and why he could not get that unsettling feeling to stop. Inuyasha scoffed at his question and then his eyes went dark with suspicion.

"I never traveled with anyone. Why are you trying to say I had a group, I never did and never will. But what I don't get is why you say to know so much about me. You don't know me!" Inuyasha's antics were even more idiotic than before, and Sesshoumaru was starting to grow suspicious of Inuyasha and what had happened to his companions.

"Inuyasha stop playing games with me, I am not here to argue with your stupidity, I am here for that miko you traveled with, your wench. I need her to care over Rin." Sesshoumaru stood taller than before demanding respect and answers Inuyasha was hiding from him.

"How the hell do you know my name! And I'm telling you I DON'T TRAVEL WITH ANYONE!" Sesshoumaru was startled at the answer he got and stared intensely at Inuyasha, figuring out if he was lying or telling the truth. But Inuyasha's eyes didn't lie, they never could, he didn't know who this Sesshoumaru was, he didn't know that they were brothers, even if that fact disgusted Sesshoumaru it was a fact, and then Sesshoumaru realized everything.

"You don't remember anything do you?" Inuyasha stared at him anger boiling inside him for this egotistical demon who thought he knew who he was. He had never seen him in his life, and he wasn't about to let this strange demon disrespect him. And what was his deal thinking he knew him and saying he traveled with pitiful weaklings? That self-centered bastard!

"Listen you stuck-up piece of shit, I don't have time to be wasting with you, I have better things to be doing, so shut up and finish this fight, cause that's all I'm looking for, not this stupid talk you're saying, pretending to know me. I don't give a rat's ass who you are so don't act like you know me!" Inuyasha raised his sword in defiance of this demon and gave him a death glare. Sesshoumaru however was beyond shock, though he didn't show it. 'So then it is true. Inuyasha remembers nothing of his past, and he remembers nothing of that miko I came to find. Then I have no business here, and to kill him off right now would be unrewarding. I will take care of him some other time, when he at least has a sliver of a chance.'

"Your disrespect will be taken care of later. You no longer have what I want so I am not about to waste my time any longer. Another time Inuyasha, another time." A silver mist formed under Sesshoumaru's feet, turning into a firm cloud that carried him away. Inuyasha was left there feeling pissed and confused.

"Who was that guy?"

"BRING ME WATER!" A loud shriek echoed throughout the house as the shrill voice of Nyoko, the element demon who was the head servant in the castle, demanded water. She raced back to the bedside of the young child Rin, who was burning up with fever. It had been four days since the master had left, and the child Rin had taken a twist for the worst as she burned with high temperature. Shivering, Rin moaned with complaints of being so cold. Nyoko covered her with a warm blanket and placed the wet towel over her forehead, careful not to wake her.

"Nyoko! What is going on?" Jaken's earsplitting voice made Nyoko jump as she turned to meet the angry eyes of a green imp. "Have you not cured her yet? You worthless wench, move!" Nyoko moved with the push of the green imp. She glared at the ugly demon, wishing she could kill him there and then. She was to be the heiress of her father's empire in an exotic land far from here, but her father had fallen into debt with Lord Sesshoumaru and he had sent her away as a debt payment and she has been working here ever since. She missed her home with all her heart and desired nothing more but to return, but she couldn't deny the fact that here she felt secure and Lord Sesshoumaru had given her respect and never treated her badly. But this idiot imp however, was another story.

"Sir Jaken, she should not be disturbed, she needs to rest. Her temperature is only getting worse, so if you don't mind I would like to take care of her without any interruptions." She bumped Jaken away with her hips as she stepped back into her place, trying to hide her smirk as she watched him fall to the floor. Jaken mumbled many insults in a language she would never repeat.

"Listen here you pathetic wench, just because Lord Sesshoumaru hasn't put you in your place doesn't mean I'm not." He rose to his full height, which wasn't much and stood before Nyoko. But she paid no mind to his pathetic antics as she had no time to waste with this idiot of a demon, and turned away from him, tending to her sick patient. "Oy wench, I'm speaking to you, and this Jaken will not be ignored by the likes of you! "

"The likes of me? Well if you can't handle the 'likes of me', leave me be and we will all be content." She faced him with defiance as he fumed with rage.

"I will not be spoken to like that you pathetic excuse for a demon. I don't understand why Lord Sesshoumaru keeps you here, for you are not even worthy of the dirt he steps on!" His shrill shrieks echoed throughout the house as she gasped with indignation. She was a servant, that she was, but she had dignity and wasn't about to let this worthless imp disrespect her.

"I will not allow anyone to speak to me that way, especially not a scrawny, spineless coward like you!" She had no need to yell, for even in whispers the imp could tell the deep loathing this demon held for him. He might be ignorant but he wasn't stupid, so he backed away leaving the room and slamming the door behind him. Nyoko sighed as she kept tending to the young girl, smirking to herself as she felt a tinge of pride for putting that Sesshoumaru-wannabe in his place. Giggling at her thoughts, she watched Rin sleep deeply.

"Nyoko, here's the water you asked for." Nyoko smiled at the young girl who walked in. A pale face met Nyoko's gaze as the young girl offered her the cold water. Nyoko took the bowl from her and began changing the child Rin's rags.

"Thank you Yukiko." Nyoko politely thanked the young girl and gave her the bowl with the dry cloths. Yukiko hesitated a bit before stepping closer to the bed near Nyoko.

"If you don't mind, um I'd like to stay here, to um to watch over Lady Rin for awhile, please." The timid voice of Yukiko caused Nyoko to smile gently at the girl.

"I don't mind at all. Why don't I take those rags to the kitchen and you stay here and watch over Rin until I get back ok?" Yukiko nodded. "Thank you. I'll be right back." Yukiko stayed watching over Rin, thinking to herself of the great opportunity that just presented itself.
