Meanwhile at Shiroku's castle a very nervous and aggravated hanyou paced back and forth in the large study room.
"InuYasha, quit pacing you're making us nervous" Miroku said.
"What's taking Shiroku so damn long?!" InuYasha yelled.
"InuYasha I'm sure that Shiroku is fine, she's probably taking her time to make sure they get here safely" Koga said.
"Lord Sesshomaru, would you like me to take Rin to a bedroom to allow her sleep?" Jaken asked.
"No Jaken, I will wait for my sister to come back, and I will take her to the room" Sesshomaru said looking at the sleeping Rin curled up on his lap.
It's been ten years since Kagome first was pulled through the well. It took five years to kill Naraku and up to this story, it's been five years since Naraku's death. So, ten years in all. Rin's now 18. Sango and Miroku's daughter, Namiko is four and InuYasha and Kagome's son Kyo is five, and their daughter Seiyaryu is three.
"What's taking so long!?!" InuYasha yelled.
"InuYasha, our sister is taking fine care of Kagome and Sango, stop being so irritable" Sesshomaru said.
"I'm sure they're fine InuYasha, remember that they also had to send the children off" Miroku said.
"I know, but no matter how much older Shiroku is she still is reckless as can be!"
"She exactly like you InuYasha!! She your twin and she acts just like you!!" Koga yelled.
"Master InuYasha, I must say that Koga is indeed right! You and your sister are exactly the same!"
"Who the hell asked you Myoga!!? I thought I sent you with Shiroku to get Kagome and Sango!!"
"You did, they are here Master InuYasha"
"Where are they?!?!"
"Mistress Shiroku is showing them to their rooms"
"Well, while we are waiting, I will take Rin back to my room and let her rest, she does not need to be in here when we start discussing the issue" Sesshomaru said.
"Mmm.. Lord Sesshomaru?"
"What is it Rin?"
"Is Shiroku back?"
"Yes she is, why do you ask?"
"I was wanting to talk to her about something"
"Wait till morning, I'm sure my sister is very tired and wants to be left alone for now" Sesshomaru said. "For now I am taking you back to the room so you can sleep for a little while"
"Ok Lord Sesshomaru"
"I will be back momentarily" Sesshomaru said.
Sesshomaru walked up the stairs to the corridor with all the bedrooms. While walking down the hall he spotted his younger sister coming down the hall.
"Shiroku, I have a question"
"What?"
"Do you have a small kimono that Rin can sleep in till we leave, I don't have anything that she could wear, and I think she would be more comfortable sleeping in something other than this" Sesshomaru said.
Shiroku eyed her older brother curiously for a moment.
"Yeah, come on, I'm sure I have something"
Sesshomaru followed Shiroku down the hall still carrying the sleeping Rin in his arms. Shiroku walked up to a set of large, double ,wooden doors. She opened one door and motioned for Sesshomaru to follow her in.
Shiroku's room was really big. She had a huge canopy bed that was messed up because she was sleeping in it not long ago. There were also clothes strung everywhere. She walked over to a rather large closet and pulled out a small lavender colored kimono.
"Here" she said and threw it at Sesshomaru.
"I will make sure it is returned to you"
"Don't worry, she can have it"
"Thank you" with that Sesshomaru left to his room.
Shiroku walked downstairs to the large living room where everyone was waiting.
She walked over and opened the large double doors and walked in to see everyone sitting except for Sesshomaru who hadn't returned yet.
"It's about time you got here Shiroku" InuYasha said.
"Oh shut up" Shiroku said and sat down.
"InuYasha, be grateful our sister even went after us, she could've said no and sent you and the monk out to find us all" Sesshomaru said entering the room.
"Yeah, be grateful InuYasha"
"Shall we start discussing the problem now?"
