Chapter 2
Inuyasha grunted as he rolled over, adjusting to a more comfortable position, before long his lips parted and drool slowly began to make its way from his mouth to the cushion beneath him. The clean-up crew was taking far too long and in his boredom he had turned to napping. While he was still aware to whether any danger was around or not he give his mind the freedom to wander, relaxing into the cushions and the scent of blood that was nearby.
"Kagome" Inuyasha shouted as he walked away from their house and Kaede's village, "Something has happened to that Mangy Wolf, I'm going to go see what's up. Take care of the pups and the old hag for me while I'm gone" He smiled and waved goodbye to his two daughters, they yipped at him, and shrieked as Shippo pounced out of his hiding place.
"Bye Papa" they shouted in unison after teaming up to beat up Shippo. Shippo managed to get free and ran into the house shouting "Mama" as he ran. That's my girls, Inuyasha thought as he picked up his pace. If only he had known then what he knew now. He would have never left without telling Kagome he loved her, or without kissing his mate.
"Wake up" Inuyasha yawned as he cracked his eye open, glancing up to the snake demon that was tugging his hair.
"What took you so long to get here Ryu" Inuyasha growled as he rubbed at his eyes.
"I had to get rid of last week's dinner" he sighed, "it was good too, a witch, she left me with some heart burn though" he said as he continued to tug on Inuyasha's hair, hoping to get him to leave. "Time for you to go mutt" Inuyasha snarled at the demon, biting at the hand. "Tssk tssssk" the demon hissed, moving to behind the couch he sat down at the corpse. "I doubt you want to be around while I digest this dog, tell your brother his previous puppet is taken care of"
Inuyasha stretched as he stood, looking away in disgust as the snake demons jaw began to stretch around Jaken's head. "Ugh" he shuddered and turned away, "I'll just be leaving" The snake demon started to chuckle before slightly choking on his dinner, he slowed his movement and adjusted his jaw to continue his work, waving his goodbye to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha shook his head as he walked out of the apartment, allowing his barrier to drop as he felt the snake demon's rise. He smiled as he walked past a woman when he was going down the stairs, blending into the world of humans with fake smiles and nods of the head, becoming unseen with simple gestures. Long ago humans had dropped the world of niceties for one of a quick and dangerous nature. Go here go there allow time to pass you by. He missed the older world.
Inuyasha came to the center of the city, the large building foreboding, with dark architecture and windows surrounding the exterior of the building. It gave the illusion of legality; no one would discover the world within unless they were unknowingly already a part of it. Sesshomaru overlooked everything, much like he looked over his lands in the feudal era. He kept his inner eye open for any new demon that entered the world, whether it be from a demon family, or a child created from evil doings. He also looked for new Miko's that entered the world. One should never go into the world without a teacher. He had gathered knowledge from every Miko that had been born since the war, many had been killed during the war due to the fact that, like demons, the humans saw their power as unexplainable.
He smiled to the middle school student that ran past him, her scent filling his nostrils with a violent wave, almost bringing him to his knees. Lavender and cherry blossoms, he looked up to see Kagome turn the corner. He reached out and started to shout, he would have called for her if not for the hand that covered his mouth.
"Not yet brother, she knows not of the feudal era" Inuyasha's eyes blurred as he looked into his stoic brother's face.
