Hiya all. I have good news to bear! One, I'm not dead! And second, here's the next chapter for everyone to enjoy! Well just to say a good portion of ya guessed right on who was to appear in this chapter and those that didn't, you should of looked a little closer at what some given clues were. Well I'm not going to bash all that did 'cause I'm just not like that. Well there are a few things that will keep my progress slow: First off, I still have a bit of writers block. Second, I'm trying to work on all three of my stories evenly now, but that's not going over too well. Last but not least is that I am now a full time collegian. So I just wanted to give you all heads up on that. Anyway, you may read on.
Disclaimer: I will never ever own Inuyasha and I doubt anyone else, besides Rumiko Takahashi, would ever own it.
Chapter 32: Unwanted Visit
About half a mile away, there was a small group resided within the forest. The young human girl and the imp was still asleep, while Sesshomaru was already up and waiting on the two to wake.
He knew the village nearby was the one that his despised brother and companions always traveled back to. His curiosity is what was drawing him towards there, ever since he picked up the scent of newly born babes that seemed a little similar to that of Inuyasha and Kagome.
'This smell of babes is kind of familiar. Could it be that..?' He was pulled from his simple thought by Rin.
"Lord Sesshomaru, is something the matter?" Rin asked rubbing her eyes.
"No, wake Jaken."
"Okay, my Lord." Rin jumped up and walked over to where Jaken was asleep and begun poking him. "Master Jaken, wake up."
Jaken stirred a little, swatting Rin's hand back and turned over. "Leave me alone girl."
"But master Jaken…"
"..Forget him, Rin. He could catch up later." Sesshomaru said as he started walking a head.
"Okay, Lord Sesshomaru." Rin skips over to him as they both start heading towards the village.
"…Sesshomaru." Inuyasha finished.
"What? What would he be coming for now?"
"I wouldn't know, but we better be careful." He looked down at his offsprings.
She nodded a bit, getting up. "Yeah."
They both walked into the front room, letting the babies sleep, but being very aware of them, just as Sango and Miroku came in.
"What the hell are you two doing here so early?" Inuyasha questioned as he walked past them and looked out the doorway.
"Well, don't you both sense that demonic aura?" Miroku asked.
"Yeah we did." Kagome said.
"We thought you must of, it's practically strong to wake anything from sleep." Sango said leaning against a wall, but felt half awake.
Inuyasha kept an eye out towards the forest and growled lowly, mumbling about something.
"I take it he knows who?" Miroku said turning towards Inuyasha.
"Uh-huh. So there's no say of what will happen."
"So who is it?" Sango asked.
"One guess, they're always fighting when close to each other."
"Oh, that would explain it then." Sango and Miroku said rolling their eyes a little.
"Yep."
"Kagome…maybe you should get to Kaede's with the pups." Inuyasha said.
Kagome turned towards Inuyasha. "What for?"
"Don't question and just do it. I don't want to take a chance of anything happening to them."
"But Rin is with him, I don't think he'd do something in front of her though."
"Just to be on the safe side, be ready to go then."
"Well alright. Sango, give me a hand please."
"Sure Kagome." She and Kagome went into the other room.
"What do you think Sesshomaru may be after, Inuyasha?" Miroku questioned.
"I'm not sure, but I don't want the pups in any danger at all."
"Spoken like a good father." He chuckled and patted Inuyasha on the back.
"Watch it Miroku." He said.

"Kagome, I don't know if it has crossed your mind yet, but could it be that Sesshomaru is coming to investigate?" Sango said picking up Serenity.
"Now that you mention it, maybe that's so." She said picking up the other two.
"I don't get the feeling that he has any intention to cause any harm."
"Neither do I, but everyone knows how Inuyasha is." She sighed briefly.
"That's true." They both walked back to where Inuyasha and Miroku were.
"Where are we going Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked.
"You will see very soon."
"Okay."
The two came near the edge of the woods as two huts started to come into view. The scents that Sesshomaru curiously fallowed were strong and very close by. There was also that of the young monk, the demonslayer that carried the scent of being conceived, his damned half brother, and a bit of the young priestess but something different about her.
Sesshomaru stopped a few feet from the clearing as Rin wasn't paying much attention and walked right into his leg.
"Careful Rin." He said lowly.
"Yes, sorry Lord Sesshomaru."
They watched as the two girls walked out of the hut with Inuyasha and Miroku right behind them as two kitsunes ran up the hill towards them. Sesshomaru's eyes focused on the figures within the girls arms.
'So my expectations were right, but that Kagome girl has changed.' He thought as he continued to step forth with Rin behind him.
Inuyasha looked over to the trees, seeing Sesshomaru walk out. Inuyasha walked in front of Kagome, with his hand placed on Tetsusaiga, ready to draw if needed. "What the hell do you want Sesshomaru?"
"Dear brother of mine…" He said with sarcasm. "I didn't come to fight with you this time so calm down."
"What the heck?" Shippo jumped a little hearing Sesshomaru's voice.
Rin jumped out from behind Sesshomaru. "Hello everyone!"
"Oh, hi Rin!" Shippo said going over to her with Serima right behind him.
"Hello Rin." Kagome, Sango and Miroku said.
"How have you been Shippo?" Rin asked.
"I've been doing well. Oh I want you to meet someone." He looked back seeing Serima right there and introduced them to each other.
"Then what in the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha barked.
"Calm down Inuyasha." Miroku said.
"If you must know, I caught a scent of babes, late yesterday afternoon that made me wonder. Now I see that you have three of you're own."
"I thought that was the reason." Sango said.
"Why would you even care if I did or not?"
"I don't, but they may prove more useful than their father." Sesshomaru walked closer to Kagome and Sango, peering at his nieces and nephew. "The only one I truly despise is you, brother. Remember it was because of you and your filthy mother, father had met his end."
"I'm not stupid! I know that! Must you always bring up the damned past!"
He turned to Inuyasha. "No, it's just a reminder."
Rin walked over to Kagome and Sango to see the babies. "Awe how cute." Rin said looking at them.
"Lord Sesshomaru! How could you leave me behind!" Jaken came running out of the forest balling from being left behind and trips over a stick, face planting right into the ground then twitches a little.
Rin, Serima and Shippo and even the infants laughed. Rin then walked over to Jaken and crouched down.
"Are you ok, Master Jaken?"
"I'm just fine." He said in a pouting way.
"Um, well ok, if you say so." She stood back up and went back to looking at the babies.
After a couple minutes, Sesshomaru looked towards Rin then to Jaken. "Lets get going." He said starting to walk off as Jaken walked up beside him.
"Okay, Lord Sesshomaru. Bye everyone." Rin said and waved to them as she went to catch up with Sesshomaru.
"What was the whole point to going there Lord Sesshomaru?" Jaken asked.
Sesshomaru looked down at him for a moment and didn't answer.
---
"Now it wasn't that bad, right?" Kagome mentioned to Inuyasha.
"Feh…" Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"Well I don't know about you, but I'm going back to sleep if I could." Sango said yawning and handing Inuyasha his middle child.
"Yes, same here." Miroku said fallowing Sango back to their hut.
"Um…okay." Kagome said watching them both walk off.
Ok, ok I know it's a bit short and all, but it all works so. Well if any of you were expecting Inuyasha and Sesshomaru to fight a little, I'm sorry about it, but I couldn't really imagine for them to this time and besides Rin was right there most of the time. Well anyway, you all know what to do. Well 'til next time, Ja ne and Bai bai.
