After a long time of waiting, you finally get to read chapter two. Please hold your excitement until after the presentation.

Yes, I know I don't own InuYasha or any of the characters… sigh… I want you, Sesshy-sama…. (and Kikyo, but I don't think threesomes are gonna work here…)

Chapter Two:

Let's Discuss This over Tea

A few weeks after the birth of Inu, Sesshomaru decided to pay old Totosai a visit. Rin's birthday was coming up, and he wanted to get her something. This wasn't just any birthday for Rin, however. This was the big 1-4, the year she became a woman.

Strong-willed and determined, Sesshomaru had no doubt Rin could take care of herself, but he still worried. This is why he came to Totosai. He hated the old geezer, but he was a good sword smith, so maybe he could convince him to forge a sword–for Rin's sake.

Sesshomaru walked across the barren lava-covered plain where Totosai made his home, contemplating how he was going to handle Totosai. Threats never worked—the old man would always go hide behind his pathetic hanyou younger brother, and he would get nowhere. He also wasn't the type to reward those he didn't like, so that was obviously out of the question. He decided to "try" asking nicely, something he learned from his sister-in-law.

"Lord Sesshomaruuuuuuuuuuuu!!!" Sesshomaru heard one of the most annoying voices ever calling him.

Damn it, Jaken… interrupting my thoughts like that… I'll have to punish you later… Sesshomaru thought. "Quiet, Jaken!"

"Y-yes, M'lord." Jaken said, putting a three (I think that's how many he has) –fingered hand over his beaklike mouth.

Jaken had limited sanity, and this is one of the rare (if existent) moments where he was ahem, "normal".

"I am going to speak with Totosai. I want you to stay here until I return." Sesshomaru commanded.

"Yes, M'lord!"

Totosai inhaled deeply, savoring the pungent aroma of the tea he was about to enjoy. He slowly lifted the cup to his lips… and noticed the shadow that fell across him. He looked up and saw Sesshomaru looming over him.

Totosai freaked, spraying Sesshomaru full in the face, causing his eye shadow to run.

"What the HELL was that for???" Sesshomaru roared, grabbing Totosai by the collar and slamming him up against the wall.

Totosai stared at Sesshomaru, wide-eyed and shivering. "L-Lord Sesshomaru!"

"ANSWER ME!!!"

Totosai moaned and then fainted.

"…" Sesshomaru sighed and dropped the old swordsmith. He rubbed his temple, annoyed. A killer migraine was coming on…

"I don't think that went too well."

Sesshomaru turned and glared at the man standing before him. "…"

"Talkative as ever, I see."

"Do I know you?"

"Maybe. Maybe not." The stranger said.

"And you know me?"

"No not really." The stranger said, scratching at his stubble thoughtfully.

"Heh." Sesshomaru turned back and looked at Totosai's unconscious body.

"If you want him to do something, play by his rules."

"Just who do you think you are???" Sesshomaru asked angrily, turning back toward the strange man.

He was gone. Hmm… He smelled familiar… Sesshomaru thought. He looked once again at Totosai. I guess I could speak with him… stop all the demanding… He sighed. That was so out of character for him.

He sat down and waited for the old man to awaken.

So… that was chapter 2. I know, that was short, and for that I'm sorry. Review, if you wish… Suggestions would be extremely helpful… I'm starting to get writer's block…
