Sleepover today~! Can't wait! I own nothing.

InuYasha spun on his heel. His eyes narrowed at the owner of the voice. "Naraku…"

Naraku gave a smirk to him. "If you don't mind, InuYasha, I'd like to speak to Sesshomaru."

InuYasha turned his head defiantly. "Tch. I have no more business here." He glanced at the Inu Yokai. "Don't be long." He started walking back to the mansion.

Naraku glared at Sesshomaru, ruby red eyes gleaming with hate. "You should've killed that pathetic miko instead of letting her live with her life."

"She is a friend of InuYasha's," Sesshomaru said simply, face a mask of solid granite.

"He isn't your yet, Sesshomaru," Naraku said, "I still have a chance. I could take him now if I wanted, mark him as mine."

"You wouldn't dare," Sesshomaru said, eyes starting to grow red as his inner demon pounded against its restraints, trying to free itself and attack Naraku, destroy its competition.

"Perhaps not," Naraku said, "But that is only because I, unfortunately, will be busy for the next few days. But I swear I will make InuYasha mine."

"I'd like to see you try," Sesshomaru snarled. Sending the Hanyou one last glare, Sesshomaru turned and began the walk back to his mansion.

Upon arriving, his father announced to him that InuYasha had retired to bed, despite the fact that it was only 7:50 in the evening.

Sesshomaru walked out to the lake and sat near the calm waters with his legs tucked beneath him, staring into the crystal waters. Lotus flowers on lily pads floated in the pond, and a small waterfall softly filled the body of water. All in all, it was a beautiful place, gorgeous, and a great place to clear one's mind.

"Sesshomaru-sama!" Sesshomaru looked up. Rin approached carrying a bunch of daisies in one hand. Jaken was nowhere to be seen.

"Hello, Rin," Sesshomaru greeted as the young girl hugged him.

Rin pulled away grinning. "How have you been, Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Well enough," Sesshomaru said.

"That's great to hear!"

Sesshomaru looked around. "Where is Jaken?"

Rin frowned, shrugging. "I dunno. He said he had something to do and waddled away."

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken approached, bowing low. "I'm sorry for leaving without telling you, Lord Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru merely glanced at the Kappa Demon. He pulled a long piece of silvery hair behind his pointed ear.

"If I may, Lord Sesshomaru," Jaken said, "I overheard a bit of a conversation between your father and InuYasha."

Sesshomaru turned to look fully at the lake. "What did you hear?"

"I heard your father mentioning something about a plan involving you, and InuYasha said something along the lines of 'This'll show that bastard Sesshomaru I'm not one to give in easily'."

So Sesshomaru's suspicion was right. InuTaisho and InuYasha DID have a plan that involved him.

"Thank you Jaken. If you hear anything more, alert me at once."

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru."
