Chapter 5

I do not own Inu-Yasha or my dear, sweet, husband, Sesshomaru.

Inu-Yasha could smell a familiar scent, and it was very close. "Is something wrong Inu-Yasha?", Kagome asked worried about her boy friend sniffing around Rin's room. Finally, disaster struck. Inu-Yasha had sniffed his way to the closet. Sesshomaru decided then to go ahead and kill his brother by forcing the door open. As Inu-Yasha turned the knob, the angry taiyokai came pinning his sibling to the floor, ticked as ever.

Inu-Yasha just lied underneath Sesshomaru's body, which had his red kimono pinned down, in a state of shock. "Sesshomaru, what the hell are you doing here!", a confused Inu-Yasha asked escaping Sesshomaru's hold.

"I believe that I should be the one asking that dear brother", Sesshomaru said ready to attack, felt two but felt to hands across his stomach holding him back from behind. He turned around. Rin had come up behind him and was keeping him from fighting.

Why! Why is she doing this, Sesshomaru asked himself as Rin held him in her tight grasp, Isn't she afraid? "Get off," Sesshomaru said coldly.

"Well, it looks as if Rin got herself a pet!", Inu-Yasha said laughing at his brother for letting a human control him even though he was in no position to laugh himself.

"Inu-Yasha, SIT!", Kagome said trying to keep him from ticking off his brother more.

"What! Why the hell did you-" "Sit." Inu-Yasha was angry now. But could you blame him? First, he had to go to that place with the "ninja food", then, because of his bare feet, got his foot stuck in some gum, and FINALLY, his brother plays jack in the box in the closet! Jeez, what a day!

"Maybe I should explain before Inu-Yasha has another childish fit", Sesshomaru said in a mature voice despite his new "belt" still trying to keep him from fighting. Sesshomaru walked over to Rin's bed and sat himself down. Rin unhinged herself and sat on the floor with Inu-Yasha who felt much too acquainted with it already. He pulled her up into his lap like he did sometimes. Rin was like a younger sister to him.

"The reason this Sesshomaru has chanced upon such a different world", Sesshomaru said while pausing to look at some of the odd, futuristic, inventions all over Rin's room, "is because the other lords didn't think I was being fair to my subjects-" "or kind", Rin added. "So they sent me to this little brat's house to take care of her for a month."

"A MONTH!" , Kagome and Inu-Yasha said at the same time. "You seem to be troubled by this. However, this Sesshomaru could care less and would much rather be bathing in one of my many baths in my palace", Sesshomaru said with no regret.

What a jerk, Kagome thought. He doesn't even like Rin! I mean, she does need friends besides Inu-Yasha and me, but why him! "Why you!", Inu-Yasha said very angry now.

"Please spare me of your tough person act, Inu-Yasha. No matter how you look at it, you will always be my younger, weaker, half demon, brother. And yet, you still believe you are my equal. How foolish. Even I, Sesshomaru, would never waste my time on such petty things like you.", Sesshomaru was in no mood for such nonsense.

At that moment, a swirilling blue pool appeared in the wall and a man stepped out wearing a yellow and gold kimono with an orange obi. The kimono was very detailed with gold sewn in designs of cranes at the top and changed to rivers of koi at the bottom. He had ears that looked like fins on koi. His hands were adorned in what looked like pearl and white shells for nails. His hair was like looking at a black, thin-watered, river. His eyes were an orangey-red, like the burst of the afternoon sun before it settled under the slowly darkening hills of an endless field of wonder and happiness. Although, his attitude was unlike that at the moment.

"Sesshomaru", Toshiyuki said feeling agitated. Who is this man,Inu-Yasha and Kagome thought together.
