Hey what's up? How have you all been doing? I've been writing and working on home work and studying and all that good stuff but yeah-here it is. Thanks for the reviews.

Begins in the past

A child.

He had never admitted mating with the human woman but that didn't mean that in his mind it was a foolish thing to do. No honestly he rather enjoyed being with her in such a close manner. She was of a certain undeniable importance to him and he knew that but he didn't understand the word love. Humans were odd with such a thing.

Love meant to cherish something deeply but what is there to cherish in such a manner? He knew that her company was rather important to him and the fact that her very existence pleased him greatly caused a desire to come forth. This desire was for her protection and, for an odd reason, her happiness. Yet such emotions were unheard of in the demon society but he had never really abided by it had he?

Sesshoumaru believed in what he supposed what best and if something pleased him then it would be his to forever do so. Yet the very fact that he had even dared to ally with this mortal had brought forth trouble. Many did not believe that he should speak with such lowly diminutive things but he had made an exception. That exception had grown into something he couldn't describe as time passed by ever so slowly.

She had brought him comfort and a great deal of happiness to his life causing his stoic appearance and ruthless brutality to fade miserably. But he found that he didn't mind. He rather enjoyed allowing some amount of emotion to surface, especially when it lit her face with a beautiful light. It gave him a certain warmth to see her happy or to watch her enjoy something. Yes maybe he was a fool but he was a rather joyful one at that. That was all that mattered right? Even if he was becoming his father in some ways it didn't matter.

"You are sure that I am pregnant Sesshoumaru?" Her voice cut through the thickness of fog surrounding his mind. Her face gave the impression that she was both shocked and extremely happy.

"This Sesshoumaru has never been incorrect before." She smiled warmly as tears filled her eyes. Sesshoumaru placed his hand on her stomach. "I can sense the being within you and it is of you and I. He is a half breed but he is powerful." A tear fell down her cheek. "Why do you cry Katsu? Are you not pleased that I have sired an heir to my thrown with you or had you desired a human child?"

The last words had stung her with malice. "No it is just that I am so happy that I have come to tears of joy." He watched her for a moment, the hint of disdain and disbelief lingering over his features. Yet soon it faded away completely from his countenance. Humans were strange in their way of happiness, anger or any other emotion that they may feel. "What will you name him my lord?"

"This Sesshoumaru does not know at the moment but shall soon." Her smile brightened as she felt his aura surround her and lift them each from the ground. They were now coming to a spot which she loved most; it was where they had first met one another.

She had been walking along the waterfall's ledge when noticing a man far below her. He was covered in a sea of red. She felt a pull as she watched him lay so helplessly, a pull of demonic energy.

Nervousness entered her every breath, no matter how shallow. Demons, especially one's looking like a man, were dangerous and could destroy any being without a second thought. But she couldn't simply leave him so near death and so helpless. Maybe he'd kill her but she wasn't afraid of that. She was more afraid of someone never being shown kindness in a moment of need.

And so she began to descend the rocky surface, slipping a tripping slightly along the way. The pebbles and sand grains fell into the water but compared to the roaring noise of the waterfall they were simply movements of mime. No sound was ever to be heard. Her footing suddenly gave way and she slid downward. Katsu screeched the entire way fearing the fall more than the demon below her. She, though it seemed slow to her, hit the ground rapidly after she began her quick and unwanted downward tumble.

"Oh that one hurt." She managed a small murmur as she stood and rubbed her back. The sound of a hiss stopped her in her moments of dwelling over her bodies suffering. She quickly looked near to her. The man that lay before her was none other than the new demon lord Sesshoumaru. He had only held the term for a three hundred years or less. Even though that seems impossibly long to us it was a small amount of time for a demon.

His blue eyes, surrounded by the crimson, caused great discomfort as she looked at him. His markings grew jagged and he bore his fangs. But all she could do was smile warmly even through the discomfort. "I am Katsu Higurashai." She inched closer. "I am not here to harm you,; I come to aid you Sesshoumaru-sama demon lord of these western lands." She pulled the water container from her side and filled it.

He seemed to understand her and calmed enough for her courage to build. She moved close enough to touch him but when she tried he hissed. Pulling up false bravado she lifted the canister to his mouth. "I need to assist you my lord or dehydration shall destroy you." He still growled. "Please allow this lowly mortal to aid you in your time of dyer need."

Since that day they had become closer and closer until she conceived. As they came near to the area in which they had first spoken to one another his grip tightened about her. He did not want to jostle the female while she was with child to much for it could upset her in some way. She smiled as she looked upon his face, adore obviously in her eyes.

The mist cloud of his demon disappeared shortly after and the each landed upon the grounds surface. It was much more gentle than usual something that she hadn't expected yet did. Katsu knew that he would watch over her until she gave birth but not this closely. Once again a smile played about her face as she held his arm to her chest. "I love you even though you do not understand the feeling of this word."

The male couldn't say really anything to that and so went about to the task of catching her some sort of fish for food. She watched in silence of course, not desiring to break his concentration at all. Though she highly doubted that was possible.

He seemed to notice that she watched him closely and so turned and looked into her eyes. Once again she felt as she did when she had first fell in love with him. A flutter came into her being and she giggled as he suddenly jerked forward and lifted a fish. He was showing himself off just a little in order to impress her. But he already had her so no other would claim but that didn't matter. She still loved to watch him to do the most absurd and wonderful things.

His eyes glistened as he stood up. "We are in need of finding wood in order to cook your meat." A small blush arose as she realized that she hadn't thought of that.

She stood and began to gather as many good sturdy braches that had fallen as she could. And there was an abundance of them which of course made the situation all the better. With one arm, she noticed, Sesshoumaru picked many peaces off the forest floor. "You do not need to lower yourself like so Sesshoumaru."

"I am not lowering myself. I simply am taking care of a task that needs be taken care of." His eyes once again glistened as he watched her and this caused her to wonder what he was thinking of.

Only weeks later she was attacked but the night before then she had been having an odd dream and so Sesshoumaru took his hand and placed it over her head. This gave him a sort of passage into her dream and he found that he did not desire to be there. She lay dead on the ground and off to the side she stood watching her self. Sesshoumaru witnessed himself, filled with rage; cuddle her body to his own and a small light ushered forth from her stomach.

Inuyasha stood over each of them and neither noticed the orb as it flew into the air. Her dream followed it into the depths of a cavern, obviously once filled with water. Slowly it hovered through crevices and cracks until it reached a small pool of water where a light grew bright. As it became brighter a body formed and just as slowly as it came to be one was able to make out his features. Charcoal grey hair slid over his face and grey amber eyes appeared. The light began to dim and his body fell.

His eyes closed and he fell limply on the ground. Another light appeared to his left and it took the form of Katsu. A smile appeared as she rubbed his face. "You will be alright, he will find you soon." She looked into Sesshoumaru's eyes. "He will be dangerous and many will desire to use the ability for some evil purpose though he is good." Her eyes traveled from her mate to the boy and back. "He will be more powerful and is now then you will ever be."

Feudal Japan

His mate had been most correct. Sesshoumaru had later found the boy after her death lying in a puddle of his own blood. By the look in his eyes he was blind and he was in poor condition. His right eye had a scar form the brow line to the cheek and the left sunk with damage that could never be healed. The demon lord had thought of leaving him to die but recalled her words and remembered her hands as he stared at the boys mauled one. It made him remember her and thus he stayed.

The demon that had attacked the boy went to do so once again. Sesshoumaru sensed a high powered aura about the beast and knew there would be difficulty when battling him but would win either way. Yet just as he was to attack his son leapt up a turned. His power raged at such a high level that even Sesshoumaru felt pain. He stole away and watched as the demon was obliterated in a single movement.

Other demons and even humans had desired his power afterward and so Sesshoumaru hid his son away so that the world would not be in danger. The boy hadn't minded it much though. It was a small portal which sustained him with food and water but it held no dangers for him. After creating his castle Sesshoumaru place the small other world in a room and bound the lock with a spell that would destroy the boy he was let loose unless direly needed. Yet he would still feel pain when released.

He was most likely in immense suffering as he walked about but just what was he needed for and why? Who had summoned him from his keep? Sesshoumaru's nervousness began to grow as rapidly as his rage. And Sesshoumaru is never nervous.

Kikyo and the young boy arrived to the room shortly and her eyes brimmed with tears as she seen the state the miko was in. Her body was shivering with cold and weakness as she lay almost naked for the poison had torn away much of her clothing. Her breathing came in short pain filled pants and the sound of her breath was rather raspy. The entire room seemed like it had been a fire but was now extinguished.

"I may not see her lady Kikyo but I do sense this state of being and apologize for your grief but I must be let go of now so that I may work." The miko quickly let go of his small fragile limb and so he made his way to the girl.

Shards of porcelain from what had been lovely vases cut his feet but he paid no mind to these small pains. Someone needed him and thus he would aid her. A wind blew from the outside sending a slight chill to the cooling room. Oh yes winter was indeed coming and rather soon. He could feel the old man kiss his cheeks and drying lips with a promise and a glee to return. Winter, it was the season he had witnessed just before being placed in the room.

But none of this mattered now, only the girl who he slowly came toward. The scent of her reminded him of his mother, whom he had met while sleeping. His hand came to rest over her stomach and by the feel of her aura he smiled. "She is of my mother's blood line."

Kikyo watched with interest as a light surrounding Kagome and the boy began to also come about the room. His grey amber eyes became fully grey. This would be the power of his mother, the human will to aid those in need. The wounds began to disperse from her body and the room was being righted once again. Kagome began to shake as the impurities were fully pushed from her body. The boy smiled. "He's coming Kikyo."

"Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes he is but there is another." His eyes glistened as yellow began to take over, the demon inside of him was ready for a battle. A trademark smirk, just like his father, appeared on his face as he stood waiting for what was to come.

So how was it? Please review and let me know alright. Later on its going to get intriguing.
