Chapter 6 Dog-demons

"Awe, that's sweet, you're staying human to take care of your mom, but what happens after, I mean, even if you were human you would probably live longer then her, but as a fox demon you will live far longer. Is there a way to leave your human body?"

"There is, and once my family is gone I will return to my demon form permanently, but I will not be a bandit. I have changed to much these last years and could not be who I was."

Kurama had told Rin his story and she had endless questions about his family and what it was like for him to adjust to a normal human life after all the time he spent as a demon bandit. The few times he tried to move the conversation to where she was from he got nothing from her and soon gave up.

They did some window shopping and Rin was amazed at all the things, asking about this or that and what they were for. When they stopped an hour or so into their walk Kurama bought them ice cream.

"What is this?" Rin asked looking at the double scoop of vanilla.

"It's called ice cream, it's cold but sweet." Kurama had gotten used to answering questions that would have been obvious to any human of this time which only made him more sure about his theory of her being from the past.

"Oh, Aunty Kagome told me about this, she said of all the things she missed, it was ice cream she missed the most. I always wanted to know what it tasted like that she would miss it so much." Rin took a bite of the top scoop and cringed. "OW! Why do my teeth hurt?"

"Try just licking it." Kurama said smiling.

"Hmm this is good I wish I could take some to Aunty, maybe Souta would know a way." Rin mused.

"Why can't you?" Kurama asked

Rin just looked at him and he backed off.

"Where do you want to go now?" Kurama asked when he returned from throwing away the garbage.

"I think I should go back to the shrine to check on the kids and see if there's any thing they need." Rin got up and started back in the direction of the Higurashi shrine.

"The children are part dog demon, are they not?" Kurama asked hoping this wasn't a taboo question, like so many others had been.

"Yes, they are. You can tell more with Shin then Yukina but she shows it in surprising ways." Rin continued telling funny stories about the kids. How Yukina had a tendency to lick people when they hugged her and how Shin had a bad habit of sniffing people awkwardly. The walk back was fun and they both laughed a lot.

"Which of their parents was a demon?" Kurama asked.

"Their father."

"Who is he?" Kurama continued.

"I doubt you would have heard of him, but their grandfather was Inu no Taisho." Rin started up the steps of the shrine, but stopped when she noticed Kurama was not with her. She turned to see a shocked look on his face.

"The Inu no Taisho?" Kurama was stunned.

Rin giggled, "Yep, The Inu no Taisho. So be nice to them, even with the human blood mixed in, their grandfather's blood runs strong."

"I bet." Kurama paused. "I think I shall leave now, you have things to do and I need to find my friends."

"Ok, let me know when you find Lord Sesshomaru." Rin smiled and waved then turned back to the steps.

"Did you find out anything from Rin?" Koenma asked as soon as Kurama entered his office.

"Very little, but I did learn something very interesting about the children she brought with her. They are the grandchildren of the Inu no Taisho." Kurama's words were met with a stunned silence.

"As if we don't have enough to worry about." Koenma slumped in his chair.

"They're still pretty young and are mostly staying at the shrine I don't think there will be any problems. Did you manage to find Lord Sesshomaru?"

"I sent a message to his son and we're still waiting for a reply. I don't know if I want him to tell us where to find Lord Sesshomaru or not." Koenma slumped deeper into his chair.

"Where are the others?" Kurama wondered.

"Hiei's keeping and eye on the shrine, Kuwabara when to find his friends and Yusuke apparently was late for a date with Keiko." Koenma sighed, "It shouldn't be to much longer before we get the reply from Lord Raizen."

Just as he was speaking George ran into the room with a paper. "We have it, Sir, the message from Lord Raizen."

"Then give it to me, you idiot!" Koenma jumped up and grabbed the paper from the ogres hand and read it. Kurama took the note from the hand of a very shocked Koenma.

Last I heard he was in a wilderness by the sea in human world, where few ever go. If you find him tell him to come back here, there is a matter I need to discuss with him.

"Well that's not very helpful. A wilderness by the sea, there must be thousands all over the human world." Kurama said.

"No, Sesshomaru only ever wandered one area of human world, Japan, and there are only a few places that could still be called a wilderness there. The largest of which belongs to Genkai."

Kurama's eyes grew big at the thought of having to search Genkai's land for a demon that didn't want to be found. "Perhaps Rin can draw him out of hiding. If he knows her and catches her scent he will probably show himself."

"Oh, I don't like this, but ok. Go get the girl and meet me at Genkai's place."

A few hours later...

Rin had left the kids at the shrine when Kurama had come for her. As they reached the top of the steps to an old shrine in a vast wilderness Rin smiled, she could already feel Sesshomaru.

"He's here and not too far away ether." Rin said starting to walk into the trees.

"Wait, Rin, we are meeting some one before we go look for him." Kurama put a hand on her shoulder to stop her but just managed to pull it back in time to keep from losing it. A sword came down between them accompanied by a loud growl and Kurama jumped back staring at the fierce demon standing before him.
