The words rang out with no response from the figure lying on the floor.

Sesshomaru sat up quickly from leaning against the tree. He looked over his companions that were still asleep. He and his small group had recently joined his brother at least until Naraku was dead then they would go back to being rivals.

"Lord Sesshomaru you are awake?" Rin asked sitting up from her place beside Kagome.

"Rin return to sleep for it is still before dawn." With that said Lord Sesshomaru rose from his place and began to walk towards a stream his thoughts surrounding him so completely that he didn't notice that he was being watched. Sitting down by the river bank Sesshomaru thought back to that day.

They were sitting by a river in the western lands not far from the castle in which he, his mother, and his father resided. He looked over at his mother and smiled. If he had known that would be the last time he would smile at his mother he would have smiled all day. There came a quick yell and Sesshomaru jumped up just before a sword struck the ground right where he had been sitting. Sesshomaru looked at the girl holding the sword.

"What a greeting" he remarked as though making a comment on the weather.

"You expected anything different from me?" the girl asked sheathing her sword.

"Welcome back Alex" his mother commented looking at the girl. She was the same age as Sesshomaru. Both were only a hundred years old. Inuyasha lacked being born so needless to say there was no one to spoil his happiness as of yet.

Me: haha cliffy!!

Fluffy: (growling) wench!!

Me: (petting the fluff no hanging on my shoulder) what is wrong Sesshy darling?

Fluffy: Give it BACK!!! (chases a now running away Alexs)
