Gaara's new friend

Sesshomaru was a having a bad day. Jaken was being a royal pain in the ass. Rin at least stayed out of his way. Ah-Un, the two headed dragon was as bored as his master. Then Sesshomaru noticed something odd and annoying in the wind.

It was his younger half-witted, half-demon brother Inuyasha. But something was different. There were four new scents close to his brother and one of them was distinctly a demon and a Hanyou. Who was the demon? It couldn't be the fox brat; he didn't have such a killer intent. So who could it be?
"If that is your brother, then he's coming closer. I'd say he's about a mile away from us right now."

"What are we going to do?" asked Naruto.

"We fight. I'm always ready for a battle against my full-blooded brother."

"Wait Inuyasha, we can't fight him and protect these kids at the same time!"

"We can take care of ourselves! We're shinobi after all; the only who'd be in danger would be Sakura. She's more brains than brawn," said Sasuke annoyed.

"He's right Sakura will stay back while we deal with this new guy," said Naruto.

"He's only a half-mile away. And he's closing in fast."


Then Sesshomaru showed up with his group. Rin was interested in the new people. Jaken showed evident disgust toward Inuyasha's half-human blood. Sesshomaru walked up calmly toward his brother.

"What do you want jerk? Tryin' to steal my Tetsaiga again?" snarled the hanyou.

"No, I was merely curious as to why there was another demon in your group. But the scent has disappeared."

"No it hasn't! That damn runt must be blocking your sense of smell like he did mine!" said Inuyasha with a look in Gaara's direction.

"Oh shut up you cat-eared BAKA!" griped Gaara annoyed.


Sesshomaru chuckled. He liked this new kid a lot! Gaara looked at him and then at Naruto. He made up his mind to split from the others; he never liked being around idiots and was a lone wolf.

"Is there any way I can come with you and get away from these two idiots?" asked Gaara with his eyes on Inuyasha and Naruto both.

"How dare you request such an absurd idea!" barked Jaken.

Gaara narrowed his eyes at the annoying imp. Perhaps he should shut this fool up now. The sand responded and wrapped itself around his mouth and proceeded to hold him upside-down in midair. Rin couldn't help but giggle at his predicament.

"If you can get the imp to shut up then you can travel with me," replied Sesshomaru, also amused at his efficient way of keeping the imp quiet.
