"I see so you took up the job of looking after the western lands because father died and I didn't have a mate so I wasn't fit?" Marie huffed jumping back up into the tree in which Shesshomaru, Rin and Jaken lay under.

"No that's not it… you disappeared… otherwise you would have taken over the lands since you're the oldest between Inuyasha and I. but you were nowhere to be seen or heard of and no one could figure out where you were so there for I took over the western lands. Besides it was divided into three parts by father." Shesshomaru explained.

"Speaking of the little runt how is he doing." She smiled.

"Well I would presume. He is traveling with 3 humans a kit and a demon cat."

Marie laughed at this. Falling backwards out of the tree and landing on her back.

"Ow. But hey at least he has people to care about him… how come you never got along well with Inuyasha?"

"He's hanyou… I had a hatred towards humans for a long time and still do… the only human I can stand is Rin… and Inuyasha's human wench Kagome."

"Wow you have great respect for people these days…"

"Why'd you come here Inumarie there must have been more to your motives than to just have a visit with your brother."

"Piss you off." She replied smiling before taking off running.

Quickly he ran after her. He didn't know why or understand why but he remembered it from one of there games they used to play when he was probably 10 years age of human years.

Flashback

"Oh come on Shesshomaru… you can do better than that… your aimlessly trying to run through a forest… Use your nose Damnit!" A voice rang.

His training with his sister… deadly at some points… scary at others.

"Shesshomaru!" she screamed as if she was in trouble.

Panic washed over him. Running even faster he saw his sister sitting in the middle of the field a dagger in one hand with but a small wound on her opposite arm. Smiling at him.

"Why'd you come after me Shesshomaru?" she asked. "Did you think that you could've saved me from a youkia or was it on instinct?"

"Instinct. But why'd did I act on that one instinct that sent arrows through me?" he asked as they were walking back.

"That's called panic. And that probably only happened a second after I screamed and I pierced my arm with a dagger." Smiling she hugged him.

Hugging her back he felt her kiss him on the forehead.

"You're my brother, I'll always love you and protect you. Never forget that Shess never."

Nodding his head she smiled as she took off running again. Following her back to the castle he didn't look back. Those words playing in his head.

Flashback end

The words always repeated in his head until he was told that she was dead.

"Boo!" Marie whispered in his ear.

Whipping around with his poison claws attack in play he held them to her neck and smiled.

"Scary." She whispered. "But one thing you forget Fluffy," she heard him growl. "I'm a poison demon too, so those attacks don't hurt me."

"I thought you got over that nickname when we were children." He replied.

"Nope, never will I let that name fall, besides you'll always be my younger brother."

Turning back they started towards the camp at a fast run as if not to leave the two there alone for to long considering they hadn't told them.

"Lord Shesshomaru! You left me all alone again! I wish you wouldn't do that!" Jaken cried in desperation.

"Jaken, do you like that pretty little head of yours? Cause' I know for a fact that you won't keep it very long at this rate if you keep talking to him like that." Marie said.

"Oh shut up you demon wench."

"Excuse me?" she replied in a warning tone as if she were talking to a child.

"You heard me."

"I'm a partial owner of the western lands… which means I'm Shesshomaru's sister. And not that, that matters but I'm of royal blood the same as him. So she me a bit of respect!"

Jaken looked at her as if she was of a foreign nation away from Musashi.

"Shess, I'm going to go and visit our brother… freak him out just a bit… be back soon." Taking off in a southern direction she left Shesshomaru glaring at Jaken with a look that could kill.

With Inuyasha

Finishing off a demon that was in there way the inu-tatchi continued on there way. Kagome felt a small tug on her soul as she saw something in the distance.

"Inuyasha, something's coming… and it has three jewel shards."

Author notes:

I wonder who it is. Could it be a demon, or his sister? maybe both? So many possibilities. How is Inuyasha going to react to his sister? he's never seen her unless he has a hell of a good memory! Well I guess you'll have to wait and see! Please R&R, thank you!
