Disclaimer: We do no own…

Lady Shard: why do we have to keep doing this?

Lady Fiona: Cuz if we don't we'll get sued.

Lady Shard: But they already know that we don't own him.

Lady Fiona: sniff, I know, don't remind me. Pouts then starts bawling

Lady Shard: Sweat drops, there there now. That's why we do fan fiction and own plushies squeezes Sesshoumaru plush.

Lady Fiona: brightens up, yeah I guess. Now if only we can get more reviews.

Lady Shard: Yeah since our story now has nothing to do with Red Riding Hood, we kind of got off track there.

Lady Fiona: chuckles Oh, and one more explanation to our story. Every one can wish on the sacred jewel. But you're only allowed one wish per person. So Kagome will make a wish for better health for her grandmother. Like in the story of little red. What was in the basket was food to make grandma better. Our story was the wish upon the jewel to make grandma better which was inside of the basket (Sango). Okay on with the story.

Lady Shard: Your forgetting something.

Lady Fiona: What?

Lady Shard: The disclaimer.

Lady Fiona: Tears up again. You hate me don't you?

Lady Shard:> ; No. I don't. But it's still got to be done.

Lady Fiona: Fine fine. We do not sniff own Inuyasha or any other characters.

Inuyasha had seen all that had transpired between his brother and his mate. Worried about her he followed Rin outside. He soon realized that Daisy had also followed Rin.

"Get!" He demanded to Daisy. Fearful of him turning, she quickly retreated back to Sesshoumaru's side.

Rin felt she was being followed; thinking that it was Sesshoumaru she turned, ready to thrash him. She swung her arm backwards and nearly hit Inuyasha. He caught the arm before it could do any damage to him.

"Whoa, slow down sister."

"Argh, what's going on between those two? I've waited and waited for him to tell me what's going on, but NO, does he even say anything to me, NO?" she expressed as she walked the opposite direction of the group. Inuyasha followed to make sure she was safe. Catching up to walk beside her he began to speak.

"About him and Daisy?" he replied.

"Yeah!"

"I can tell you."

"Please do."

He motioned for her to sit by him by plopping down under a nearby tree far from prying eyes. After she was comfortable he began to relate the history of Daisy and Sesshoumaru.

(Daisy is a bitch in this scene...excuse the pun...)

Inuyasha watched as a group of people from the castle were outside playing with a ball. He raced outside to join in the fun. He ran to the center to catch it. One of the grownups scoffed and threw the ball into the nearby woods. Inuyasha went after it with enthusiasm.

Searching for the ball, he heard noises coming from a dense part of the forest. Following the sounds he came upon Sesshoumaru with a female. To his young eyes they seemed to be wrestling. He sat down-wind as to not have his scent carry as his father had taught him. With wide eyes he stared as the scene unfolded.

Sesshoumaru sat with his back against a tree. His legs were out stretched in front of him. A female with long golden hair sat on his lap. Her legs were wrapped around his waist. Her amethyst kimono was pulled down her slender shoulders exposing her milky white neck. He groaned into her ear. A shudder went through her body. He began to nibble her earlobe and down her neck. He lapped up salty sweat as it pooled at her pulse, continuing down to her shoulder. Panting could be heard from both the female and Sesshoumaru. He pulled her kimono down further caressing her sticky skin giving her goose bumps.

Inuyasha sniffed the air. The scent of vanilla and lilacs entered his nose. He immediately knew who the female was. His father would be proud to know that Inuyasha was using what he was taught.

The female was taking off Sesshoumaru's haori. She brought his lips to meet hers. Their tongues fought for dominance. His hands went to her supple breasts and kneaded them relentlessly. She moaned her need of him loudly.

Inuyasha giggled as he heard the sound. The pair froze in their ministrations. They looked about for the source of the nose sniffing for any clues. The female was pulling her kimono back on. Inuyasha took that as a sign and took off in a blur. As he was about to exit the forest he found his ball. Picking it back up he continued to take off for the safety of his mother. He looked back to the forest to see if he was being followed. He ran into something hard and fell backwards. He looked up to see what he ran into; frightened thinking it was Sesshoumaru.

His father looked down at him and smiled. Inuyasha smiled back.

"Daddy!"

His father reached down and helped his son to right himself. He dusted him off. He handed him his ball with the same grin on his face.

"Inuyasha, have you seen your brother?"

Inuyasha beamed with innocence and pride.

"He is in the woods wrestling with cousin Daisy. It was the weirdest wrestling I'd ever seen! Their clothes were coming off and they were making..."

He never got a chance to finish his sentence when his father took off for the woods.

Must be important for daddy to take off like that... he thought

"Keh." as he blew it off what had happened and went back to playing with his ball. Minutes later a fuming Sesshoumaru descended upon the hanyou pup.

"You filthy Half-Breed! You are a stain on the family honor and the family tree. You should never had been conciev..." His last word was never finished. His father over heard the comments that were dealt to the little pup. Having heard enough, struck Sesshoumaru square in the cheek, sending him sprawling with an already forming bruise.

Sesshoumaru rubbed his sore cheek looking at his father in astonishment.

"The pup has done nothing compared to what you were about to do. I have warned you both to not see each other. You have disobeyed a direct order. The punishment will be dealt. And I promise you... Sesshoumaru...it will fit the crime...severely..." with that said he turned his back on his eldest son. Who in turn stormed away. His gaze fell to his littlest pup. Seeing he was in tears went to him ignoring the wrestling coming from Daisy, from the edge of the woods.

"Inuyasha stop the tears... nothing will happen to you...he is gone now...go to your mother." he said as he patted his bottom and sent him across the bridge where Inuyasha saw her waiting for him. Letting go of the ball in hand he ran to her waiting arms. She enfolded him inside her loving embrace looking down at him.

"Mother...what is a half-breed?" he said so innocently to her. Before she could reply Daisy came across the bridge and over heard the question. She sneered at the woman and the child.

"Yes, human, tell the little half-breed what it really means..." after scoffing at them she headed for her rooms.

Inuyasha's mother watched her go making sure she was out of sight and hearing range. She looked down at the little one in her arms. Tears began to fall freely from her eyes. All she could do was lie to her son for now.

"It means nothing, my darling... nothing at all..."

"So, how did you find out what the word meant, and why did Daisy have to stay in puppy form unless in an emergency?"

"Well, after their tryst in the forest father put a spell on the pair. Needless to say it is still in effect. Our family retainer Myoga is away right now arranging for the final preparations for her marriage outside the family."

"I see...so is that why you and Sesshoumaru hate each other so much and Daisy fears you?"

"That was the beginning. That took place about ten years after that forest incident. My Father and Mother were killed in a fire. I had inherited tetsusaiga shortly after that."

"Tell me all of it... I need to know..." Rin listened to him more. She drew her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around them pulling them even closer to her for comfort.

Inuyasha looked up into the cloudless sky. He began to tell her the events that lead to the rift between the brothers.

Inuyasha walked into Sesshoumaru's study. Seeing his half brother enter he sent Daisy outside. She sneered at him as she walked past.

"Feh." was his only reply to her.

"What do you want?" Sesshoumaru said with disdain.

"I'm leaving. You can have my share of the land. I have tetsusaiga so I have no more use for it."

"Fine. That is all that needs to be said. Leave when you can." he gestured with his hand and went back to the scroll he was looking at.

Being dismissed he left without a word. He shut the door and started to walk away when Daisy spoke up.

"That's right filthy Half-Breed! Go on and leave, those lands should never have been tainted with your impure blood just as your filthy mother's tainted the family line."

Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. He bent his head down as he turned to face her slowly. A low growl sounded from his throat.

"What... did you just...say...?"

"You heard me just fine." she turned her nose in the air to him and wagged her tail happy with herself.

With unseen stealth Inuyasha had grabbed her by her floppy dog-ears, one in each hand. He slammed her small puppy form up against the wall causing it to vibrate. The pictures in the study rattled with the force of this action. Sesshoumaru stood from his desk and briskly walked out to investigate.

Hearing the quick footsteps of his brother approaching them, he readied himself to pull tetsusaiga. He gathered Daisy's ears into his left claw. He pulled out his sword just as Sesshoumaru approached them from the study.

"What do you think you are doing, Inuyasha?"

"Nothing that concerns you...brother..."

"Let me go...let me go...peasant...you forget your station..."

Angry, he pushed her further into the wall. He drew the tetsusaiga closer to her jugular vein. Sesshoumaru saw the advance and took the initiative. He brought his light whip out and lashed it around Inuyasha's right wrist only able to draw the sword inches from Daisy.

Daisy began to thrash and flail at Inuyasha. She scratched and tore at his face and kimono. Gashes started to appear on both. The scent of his own blood began his assent over the edge of sanity. Fearful for her life Sesshoumaru yanked the tetsusaiga from his grasp. A new scent assaulted Sesshoumaru and Daisy's sensitive noses.

What is that scent...it can't be...Inuyasha...

"Mehehe... big mistake on your part..."

"Let me go now, Half-Breed...Sesshoumaru will show you no mercy..."Daisy cried with impudence. Sesshoumaru watched in horror at the display before him.

"Half-breed...half-breed... ten years you've been saying that..."he gripped her ears tighter in his fist. The claws on his fingers lengthened. They began to cut into her skin. Blood seeped across his knuckles. He inwardly smirked. His assault on her already breaking mind ensued.

"...I've known the true meaning of that word for a while... heh.. heh..heh..."Laughing to no one in particular he looked up into her eyes. Red eyes met lavender. She whimpered.

Getting nose to nose with the whining dog he continued his torment. He cracked his claws on his right hand. He brought them into her eyesight. Her gaze fell upon dagger like digits. Before she could comprehend what was going to happen, his hand flew past her face and embedded into the wall. With a fluid motion, he brought his hand down destroying it. In the process, Daisy's cheek was scraped open and began to bleed drawing his attention.

Blood...I smell her blood... coppery...need more blood...need to kill her...k..k..kill...

Leaning in to her, he licked her cheek drawing the blood into his mouth.

"Mmmmm...blood..."he murmured in pleasure as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. He spoke for only her to hear.

"You may be my brother's woman now... but at least... I can walk on two legs..." he said as he chomped at her muzzle narrowly missing her nose. While doing this he took his right hand from the wall and grabbed her left leg to emphasize his point. He backed away to regard her flinch. He smirked with lust.

"So remember...Your place...Bitch..."he dropped her on her hind end. A loud yelp came from her impact with the wooded floor. Inuyasha turned away and walked to the tetsusaiga. Passing his brother, he looked over at him. Sesshoumaru was so shocked at the whole incident; he couldn't move or make a sound. Inuyasha grinned evilly, flashing his pearly fangs.

"Kehehehe..."he chuckled. The closer he got to tetsusaiga the more his eye started to twitch.

He reached the sword and was sheathing it as he shook his head. When he faced Sesshoumaru once more, golden orbs replaced the once red, hungry eyes. Loud moans of agony came from the spot where Daisy's body was resting. Breaking from his trance, Sesshoumaru rushed to her aide. Kneeling by her form he picked her up and cradled her close.

"Feh, I'm done here." Inuyasha muttered as he turned to continue his exit. The last thing he heard was...

"..legs...legs...the left leg..." in a broken rasp from a shattered mind.

Tears were in Rin's eyes. The salty water covered her cheeks as she looked at Inuyasha. A newfound respect for her traveling companion showed in her eyes. Pushing her pity aside she found that anger was lingering and getting stronger as each tidbit of information sunk in. It took all her will power not to get up and smack some sense into her husband. She got up and walked over to Inuyasha to wrap her arms around him. Surprised Inuyasha stared at her.

"Thank you Inuyasha. Just know.. that whatever happens.. You are still considered my brother." she leaned over and pecked his cheek to emphasize her point.

He looked down at her and blinked several times. He smiled and patted her on the head.

"Thanks. Though, no one will ever know this conversation ever took place, got that?"

"Understood."

Rin wiped her face and made to leave, but stopped when Inuyasha called her back.

"Rin, Sesshoumaru's gonna know something's up if you don't wash your face."

"But the river's a way back? How? Oh, I know!"

Rin rummaged though the knapsack that was always on her back. She pulled out some face wipes and her makeup. When she was finished, she turned to Inuyasha.

"Can you tell now?"

"Smart thinking little one."

"Hey! I'm not so little."

"Feh"

They began walking back to the others knowing that if they don't come back soon they would start to worry. Halfway there, Rin faced Inuyasha.

"Just to let you know, I wish I had found you first. Kagome is very lucky ... take care of her."

Without waiting for a reply, she walked a little ahead and followed the group. She had a lot to think about. She watched them. Her mate, with his ever-faithful companion fast on his heels. She looked at his face and was disgusted to find that light was back, a light that never shined for her. Each enjoying each other's presence and here she was, far behind. They didn't even notice that she was back. He didn't care if she was there.

He really doesn't care about me... I was just convenient to him... I vow, I will not let another man hurt me this way... not ever. Not even a high and mighty Lord.

The smoldering inferno within her built with every piece of kindling they threw at her. Every look, every smile, and every gesture caused the fire to engulf her heart. Her mind was swirling with the new information and her plan to teach her new husband a lesson he won't soon forget.

"C'mon let's go. I want to reach a clearing before night fall and wash up!" said Kagome

"And I'm sure you, Sango, do too."

"I couldn't agree with you more."

The others nodded in agreement and set off to find a decent spot. With in no time they found what they were looking for. The guys made the fire and spread the bedrolls while the girls minus Daisy strolled off to the same river near by.

"You know I'm really getting sick of seeing this river," said Kagome.

"Why?" asked Sango

"It's a long story, here's the soap, baskets first." giggled Kagome

"Why you!" Sango muttered as she tried to dunk Kagome under the water.

"As much fun as you two are having we need to focus on getting the jewel to grandma's. She's probably worried about us," said Rin

"Yes, I can't wait to go home after as well," replied Kagome

Inuyasha and the others had just started to rest when a scream echoed through out the area. But none were to worried when they realized that Miroku had disappeared from the campfire.

Running from the direction of the river Miroku tripped landing face first on the ground. Sango not really watching where she was going she fell on top of Miroku's back. Hearing the laughter from the girls both Miroku and Sango turned their heads.

"Way to go Sango! I knew you'd get your man!" hollered Rin giggling.

Red, Sango jumped off a disappointed Miroku. Kagome turned and smiled at her sister. She had become concerned when Rin had stopped being so bubbly. Kagome's smile soon turned into a frown when her sister giggles began to subside. Kagome looked to see what had caused this change. She followed Rin's gaze until she came upon Sesshoumaru and Daisy. Curious, Kagome walked over to her sister.

"Later, you are telling me what is wrong."

"There's no need. I can handle it. I'm married now, I believe it's time I took responsibility for my actions."

"Alright then, I'm here if you need me."

"Thanks sis. Oh, and one more thing give Inuyasha a chance. He has a good heart, even if he's demon." Rin said walking away.

"Believe me Rin, I already know that." muttered Kagome.

"Milady, there are rumors that the Lord of the south has been defeated by Lord Sesshoumaru. It is also been rumored that he possess the Shikon Jewel," said a very tired minion.

"Really? The shikon jewel? So Sesshoumaru is trying to gain territory like the dog he is." said Kikyo "I will not let some nasty demon take over my land. A land I cleansed of evil beings. So, let us go to him and take the shikon jewel and triumph over him and his lands."

"But milady, he has companions with him. What will you do?"

"You'll see my pet, you'll see."

"Argh, what am I doing here?"

Kouga was staring into the fire lost in thought.

Kagome and Inu-trasha have gotten very close. I knew I needed to get closer to her.

He was disturbed from his thoughts by an unexpected growl.

Damn, Now I'm hungry.

Kouga sniffed the air to see if he could get a sent of food. His nose had lead his gaze to the yellow backpack.

"Rin, could I get some food from the sack?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah sure."

Kouga got up and started to walk over to the bag when he slipped on Miroku's staff. Flying he went to catch himself only to grab on to Ayame who was going for the bag as well. This sent her sprawling. After landing on top of her, he looked into her eyes to apologize and found himself lost once more in her ever-beautiful emerald stare.

"Um, could ya, kind... get off of me?" asked Ayame, rattled by how handsome and strong he was.

"Huh? Oh, sure sorry. I tripped."

"That's alright"

Kouga reached into the backpack after getting off of Ayame. He pulled the first thing out that reached his fingertips. Thinking he had food he walked over to his original place, careful as not to trip again on the staff. Settled, he glanced over to Kagome once more. Watching her giggle at the exasperated look on Inuyasha's face. He became depressed. He went to bite down on the small fruit but was disappointed that he had almost chipped his fang on the hard stone.

Great, I grabbed the jewel instead. Well, things could be worse. I just wish to have a mate as beautiful and loyal as Kagome.

Kouga blinked when the jewel shimmered. He looked down at it, but it had already returned to its normal state. Thinking nothing of it, he returned the jewel back to the sack. Making sure he had grabbed an apple this time, he resided to his sleeping quarters unbeknown to him, that he was being watched.
