Sesshomaru stood at the door to his room. It was the next day-one day until Mating Season. Ever since Jaken had reported overhearing InuYasha's and InuTaisho's plan, he'd been watching them both with a careful eye. He knew how sly his father tended to be. He planned to figure out their secret if it took him all of the Mating Season to do so.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" Hikaru, the servant, said, "Your father wishes to see you."
Sesshomaru gave a nod and headed for his father's study. He wondered why his father required his presence.
He paused outside the study when he heard not only his father's voice, but InuYasha's as well in there. Pressing his pointed ear to the door, he listened to the muffled conversation.
"…sure," InuYasha's voice said, "I spotted that toad, Jaken, talking to Sesshomaru yesterday. Whatever he said made Sesshomaru angry."
"He might've spoken to my son about something else, InuYasha," InuTaisho said, "There are several things that provoke him."
"That girl, Rin, was nearby, as well," InuYasha said.
Sesshomaru could hear the frown in his father's tone. "If Rin was near and he still got angry, then you may be right."
Finally Sesshomaru decided to make his presence known to his future mate and father as he swung the great doors open.
"Ah, Sesshomaru," InuTaisho said, "I'm glad you came."
"Is there something you need of me, father?" Sesshomaru asked with ease.
"You may go now, InuYasha," InuTaisho said. The Hanyou spared Sesshomaru a glare as he left. "There is something. A message arrived for you earlier. I find it…distressing."
"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked.
InuTaisho gestured for his son to take a seat. Once Sesshomaru had done so, he said, "Do you know anyone by the name of Naraku?"
Rage burned Sesshomaru's veins. "What of him?"
"He sent a message saying he had taken Rin into custody, and wouldn't release her until you gave up InuYasha."
That was the last straw. Sesshomaru stormed out of the study, nearly running into InuYasha.
"I heard what your father said," InuYasha said, "I'm coming with you!"
"No," Sesshomaru growled. His eyes were slowly being colored red as he struggled to pass his intended.
"I'm not taking 'no' for an answer, you bastard," InuYasha snarled, "I refuse to be locked in here like a princess in a tower while you go out! I'm helping you retrieve Rin, no matter what you say."
Sesshomaru growled but knew that he couldn't convince InuYasha otherwise. "Fine. Let's go."
