Sesshoumaru woke before the sun rose and got dressed in his appropriate attire. The same clothes his father, grandfather, great grandfather, and several other generations before him wore during their pup's celebration.
The clothing looked similar to what he normally wore, but his haori was black with the red similar to his own at the shoulders. His hatori was also black. He wore the same shoes he always wore and he told the servant that was dressing him to put him in his special armor. The special armor was crafted in the same was his regular armor was, but this armor was made of pure silver with duller points at the shoulder.
Sesshoumaru strode swiftly to his daughter's room and picked her up. He grabbed a 'teething ring' as his brother's mate called it along with a 'pacifier.' Being careful of the young girl and his armor, Sesshoumaru carried his young sleeping daughter to her mother's tomb.
Sesshoumaru walked slowly into the tomb and looked down at his daughter. She remained asleep.
"Rin…" He had to leave; he hated being in here, knowing that he had the power to save her, but couldn't, got to him.
He left slowly and closed the tomb door. He turned around only to bump into Zhi and My-duyen.
My-duyen took Teshi from him and Zhi asked Sesshoumaru to follow him into what appeared to be a meeting room. One he had never been in before.
"Sesshoumaru, did you remember the two items I instructed you to get for your daughter?"
"I have not been able to find them, and Totosai has been ignoring me."
"I have figured that he might. I will bring you to him and then help you find the other, they aren't hard to locate if you know their location."
Sesshoumaru nodded his head and the two left the room and took to the sky.
Totosai wasn't hard to find, he was taking to his ox and eating.
Zhi stopped in front of the old sword master.
"Zhi! And Sesshoumaru? What do you want?"
"My grandchild needs your service to create a weapon for his pup, the child should be able to have it at the age of five, but I would prefer to have it in the castle now."
"I see, and what type of weapon do you want him to wield?"
Sesshoumaru stepped up and glared at Totosai, "She will be requiring a sword."
Totosai thought and grinned, "You have a hanyou daughter?"
Zhi nodded his head.
Totosai grabbed his pliers and stepped up to Sesshoumaru. "You have to open your mouth or I can't do this."
Sesshoumaru opened his mouth and Totosai pulled out his largest canine.
"A fighting sword I assume? It will be done by tomorrow, I'll deliver it to the Western castle."
Zhi said something to Totosai before flying away, closely followed by Sesshoumaru.
"We're heading towards the South at the junction where all of the borders meet."
Sesshoumaru watched as they came upon what looked like a demon standing at the junction.
Zhi landed in front of the faerie.
"Sabre, I hope you are well."
"As well as I can be." Sabre's elemental markings began to glow and change into a picture of sunshine.
"This is my grandchild. This is Sabre, the last of the elemental faeries."
"Why have you brought him here Zhi?"
"I was hoping you could do me a favor."
"What did you have in mind?" She unfolded her wings, they reminded Sesshoumaru of blue glass.
"His child was born and his mate died in childbirth. The child is a female hanyou and I was hoping you would…"
"Say no more." She said gently before closing her eyes and made a large bag appear before Zhi.
"Everything in there the child may have. Sesshoumaru, I wish you luck in raising Teshi."
Sesshoumaru looked at her and into her soft emerald green eyes, "You were not informed of my name, nor my child's."
"Sesshoumaru, there is very little an elemental faerie like myself does not know. I hear everything carried by even the slightest wind."
Sesshoumaru bowed and the two rushed back to the castle. They were late for the celebration.
