"Tell me, Rin; what else did you hear about this Momoneko?" Sesshomaru asked, shocking both Jaken and Rin.
"Well, as you know, she's Inuyasha's little sister and she's half-cat demon. Umm… She looks like she's sixteen and is stunted there because she was sealed away for a very long time until she was supposed to be sacrificed. But her real age is seven years younger than Inuyasha. She likes to be called Momo. That's all I really know." Rin answered, naming off things she knew.
"When he asks what you know, you're supposed to know everything!" Jaken yelled, frustrated.
"Jaken, shut up! That's just fine. Thank, you Rin." Sesshomaru thanked, standing up.
"What are you doing, my lord?" Jaken asked, looking at Sesshomaru.
"I'm going to keep an eye on that girl to learn more about her. You—keep an eye on Rin." Sesshomaru replied, taking off.
Three Months Later:
With Inuyasha & Gang:
"Where are you going, Kagome?" Momoneko asked, following Kagome to the Bone Eaters Well.
"Back to visit my family for few days." Kagome said with a smile.
"Your family doesn't live here?" Momoneko asked, confused.
"Nope." Kagome simply said.
"Kagome's not from this time era; she traveled from her time to this time a long time ago." Inuyasha said, looking at his sister—something he still doesn't quite understand. Yet, he loves and cares for her.
"Through a well?" Momoneko asked, confused.
"Yep." Kagome and Inuyasha replied.
Just then, Kagome jumped into the well—and to Momoneko, disappeared.
"Where'd she go? She really went somewhere else." Momoneko said, amazed, shocked, and slightly scared as she investigated the well.
"You have fun investigating the well." Inuyasha sighed as he started walking away.
"Where are you going? We have to find Kagome!" Momoneko yelled.
"Kagome's fine!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Watch her. When she finally gives up, bring her back to the village." Inuyasha said to Shippo.
"Ok." Shippo replied, watching Inuyasha leave.
Shippo wasn't the only one watching over Momoneko; Sesshomaru was there as well, watching her intensely.
Rin played back at camp, and Jaken watched her.
Sesshomaru had gone back to the Forest of the Cats and found a few living cat demons there; he made them tell him everything about Momoneko.
She prefers to be called Momo She is Inuyasha's younger half-sister (but he knew that already) She's a half-cat demon (he figured that one out) Her father impregnated her mother for power—& to fulfill some prophecy She's not very bright—but loves to learn She's also prone to getting sick often (but seeing as she's no longer being slowly poisoned—that might change) She loves to sleep, ribbons, & soft things She's a cuddler—unless pissed off. She was sealed away when she was fifteen—just six days before her birthday for 63 She was just released after 63 years—four days before her sixteenth birthday She's one hundred ninety-three but looks sixteen or seventeen She was supposed to be a sacrifice to revive NarakuOnce Sesshomaru got what he needed, he was going to leave. He wasn't going to kill the cat demons; however, they attacked him.
Since the cat demons attacked him first, Sesshomaru quickly killed them; it was mere child's play for him.
After learning everything, Sesshomaru decided to keep an eye on Momoneko. Something about her had caught his attention, and he didn't know why; he shouldn't want anything to do with her.
One: she was half-demon.
Two: she was a cat demon.
Three: she was Inuyasha's little sister.
Still, there was something about her that he just couldn't shake.
Shippo and Sesshomaru watched Momoneko until she collapsed from exhaustion.
"Momo, we should get you back to the village; Kagome will be back in a few days." Shippo said, looking at Momoneko.
"Ok." Momoneko finally gave in; she headed back to the village with Shippo but looked to her side and saw Sesshomaru; he was just leaving.
"Why don't Inuyasha and Sesshomaru get along?" Momoneko softly asked.
"Sesshomaru hates Inuyasha because he's a half-demon." Shippo explained.
"But Inuyasha would like to get along with Sesshomaru?" Momoneko asked, confused.
"I don't think so. At this point, it might be a little weird—or too late." Shippo explained once they made it back to the village.
"Oh… Ok." Momoneko softly said—there was something mysterious about Sesshomaru that drew her in.
With Sesshomaru & Gang:
"How long is Lord Sesshomaru going to be gone this time?" Jaken asked, annoyed.
"I think he's fallen in love." Rin said with a smile.
"With a useless half-cat demon—who happens to be Inuyasha's younger sister? I think not!" Jaken yelled, annoyed.
"Jaken, what are you yelling about this time?" Sesshomaru asked, annoyed, showing up out of nowhere.
"No-nothing, my lord!" Jaken exclaimed, scared.
"Mmmhmmm—Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, looking at Jaken.
"I think you really like Momoneko—but Jaken thinks she's just a useless half-cat demon." Rin said softly.
"You think I really like Inuyasha's little sister?" Sesshomaru asked, looking at Rin.
"I do." Rin said with a smile.
"So do I… But I do not know why. Because what Jaken said, should be true; she is only a half-demon—and Inuyasha's younger sister. But it isn't true—there's something about her that's drawing me to her." Sesshomaru honestly stated, looking towards the sky.
"That's how your father felt about humans." A voice came from out of nowhere.
"Totosai—what brings you here?" Sesshomaru questioned, intently staring at the old swordsmith.
"I heard rumors that you were falling in love with a half-demon, half-human girl. I didn't believe them until just now. I have a gift for you from your father; he said not to give it to you until you understood what true love was. However, you're not quite there—but I believe you're getting there. So here." Totosai responded, handing Sesshomaru another sword.
"What is this?" Sesshomaru questioned, holding the sword; it felt light.
"He doesn't need another sword; he already has a great sword!" Jaken yelled.
"Jaken, shut up." Sesshomaru snapped, annoyed.
"Yes, my lord." Jaken said, slinking away.
"That was one of the swords your father used alongside Tessaiga—very rarely. He didn't need both the Tessaiga and Toga. Yes, he had a sword named after himself. The Toga sword matches the strength of Tessaiga's original form. But it used more so to protect. Or—that's how your father used it. The sword itself is very light—until you use it. When in use, it becomes a little heavier. I've heard about that girl; she has undeniable powers. Unfortunately, she was held back—and was never able to learn how to use them. I knew her father; he had all powers while she only has half. He was also a good man." Totosai calmly explained.
"Good men don't rape women." Sesshomaru said, annoyed.
"He never raped Izayoi; when he met her, he told her what was going on and she agreed to help him in any way possible. He felt bad, so he put her under a spell so that she wouldn't feel dirty afterwards like he thought she would. Izayoi would've loved that little girl—it's a shame. But Anyway—you feel towards that girl how your father felt towards Izayoi; I can see it in your eyes. You won't be able to use the sword just yet; your dad has a spell put on it. Only once you realize how you truly feel, will the sword work for you. But I must go; I have another delivery to make." Totosai explained as he and his ox flew up and left.
"The nerve of that old man." Jaken said, annoyed.
"Jaken…" Sesshomaru growled slightly, glaring at Jaken.
"Sorry, my lord." Jaken said while Sesshomaru looked at his new sword.
Three Days Later:
With Inuyasha & Gang:
"I'm back." Kagome said, walking into her, Inuyasha's, and Momoneko's hut.
"Welcome back." Inuyasha said as he got up, hugged, and kissed Kagome.
"What's going on with Momo?" Kagome asked, looking at Momoneko.
"She came down with a fever last night. It's really bad." Inuyasha answered, looking at Momoneko.
"Oh, poor thing. Oh! I have a thermometer." Kagome declared right away, opening her bag.
Once she found the thermometer, she stuck it under Momoneko's tongue—and waited.
A minute or so later, it finally beeped.
"Wow. It is bad. She needs a cold, wet cloth." Kagome stated, giving orders, looking at the thermometer: Momoneko's temperature was 102.5.
"We'll be right back." Inuyasha said as he and Kagome went out; Inuyasha was going to get the wet cloth, and Kagome was going to get some herbs.
However, when they got back, Momoneko was gone; she, in a confused daze, had wandered off.
Fifteen Minutes Later:
"Whaaat a pretty little kitty. Whaaat are youuu doooing out here all alone?" Some men drunkenly slurred, looking at Momoneko; she was sick and all alone—easy prey for some perverts.
"Mmmm…" Momoneko weakly moaned.
"Get her!" One of the men yelled.
"Ahhh!" Momoneko weakly screamed; she was scared—petrified.
Sesshomaru was walking through the forest when he heard some men and then a scream.
He was just going to leave it alone until he heard one of the men mention a pretty little kitty; he just had to make sure it wasn't Momoneko…
