Thanks for the reviews Fallenangel11586 u being my first ever reviewer and ladie shinomori (you have no idea how much this means to me) . And about those spelling mistakes , there are a three reasons for those –

Reason 1- I need a Beta , so……

Reason 2- I woke up very early to finish the prologue , so……

Reason 3- I was in a rush as I had to go out with my friends for the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith , so ……..

So Sorry…………

CHAPTER :1

Sesshomaru turned his head sharply , did he just hear someone say "Asshole" . Only one person had ever called him that and got away with alive and that was Kagura , but it couldn't possibly be her . His mind was playing tricks with him . He was losing control and that scared Sesshomaru . He had always been so sure of himself that it never occurred to him that he might be wrong . He was after all the great Sesshomaru , he could never make mistakes but this is where he was wrong .

-----------------------------------------------o--o--o-----------------------------------------------------

Rin was dozing on Ah-Un and even the ever ready Jaken was dragging himself . Sesshomaru had hardly stopped for the last few days . He seemed to be always on the move . Taking a look at Rin who dropped off again and was constantly slipping of Ah-Un . He gathered his courage . " My Lord …", he squeaked. Sesshomaru frowned , off course mentally . His face was as impassive as ever.

" My Lord " , Jaken repeated , this time a little loudly earning Sesshomaru's cold glare in return . However he was spared from the rest of Sesshomaru's wrath as Rin completely slipped off Ah-Un . Sesshomaru's attention turned to the still sleeping little girl and softened momentarily before turning cold again .

He turned his gaze to his vassal and merely said , " We shall camp here for today " .

Normally Jaken's low bow would be the only acknowledgement but this time the vassal spoke up . " Something bothering you , my Lord " , Jaken finished breathlessly.

But Sesshomaru's only answer was " Watch Rin and feed Ah-Un , we have a long day ahead of us " .

Jaken sighed he had almost expected this . The lord would never confide in him . Still he thought, he had been with Sesshomaru long enough to be his confidant …..never mind . No matter what , he was still his vassal and a trusted one at that and trust was something very few people had gained from Sesshomaru . His lord had been worried since the battle with Mouryoumaru . What was it? Was it the change of Tensaiga…yes that's it. Then that old man , Totousai had turned up. Tensaiga was so powerful now and so was his lord . Shaking his head on the satisfactory explanation he went to feed Ah-Un.

Meanwhile…..

"Kagome have you brought my strawberry flavored lollypop " , Shippo quipped.

"Here you go , Shippo ", Kagome said handing over the lollypop to the kitsune.

Inuyasha's grunt however stopped her mid way and the girl turned to face him fully .

" Ah uh " muttered Miroku , " He's in for it now "

" He sure is "Sango nodded .

He had already teased Shippo once in the morning about how the little fox demon still was a baby and would never grow up . Now you don't want to tease Shippo that often in front of Kagome or cross her for that matter .

" Inuyasha " , Kagome muttered threateningly .

Inuyasha off course being as dense as he was failed to take the hint . Instead he said " Yeah what , see why I called him a baby ".

"Sit " and Inuyasha hid the ground with an audible 'thud'. This was inevitable off course and clearly not an uncommon occurrence for nobody seemed surprised except Inuyasha, "What was that for you wench ? "

"Not again " murmured Sango before moving on . " This is getting old isn't it"

Miroku nodded , " Those two will never change " .

Off course their fights were never serious but definitely one sided for nearly always Kagome had the last word "sit".

If only he could get rid of this damned necklace , Inuyasha thought , then may be…..but his thoughts were interrupted by ….

Authors notes : Do review and how many of u think the person saying asshole is kagura cuz it's kagura .He! he!
