"What!" the group yelled when they got to Mizu's home to see a note on the kitchen table from the lord saying that Sesshomaru had switched his routes to go to Inuyasha forest.
"I guess we just missed him," Miroku stated hanging his head as the rest of the group nodded sadly. "Well how far is Inuyasha forest?" Mizu asked cutting up some onions from her small bag.
"Not that far, just about a two days worth walk," Inuyasha stated as if it were just a few houses down. The rest of the group fell on to the couch in dismay their feet starting to burn.
"You don't have to leave so soon everyone, you can stay here and rest," Mizu suggested as Kagome and Sango sat up with stars in their eyes. "Oh do you mean it?" they asked as Mizu nodded grinning. "Inuyasha?" both women asked turning their heads to the half-breed as he flinched.
"I suppose, I am pretty hungry," he answered scratching his cheek softly with his claw, "Wonderful!" Mizu chirped while cutting until a black hat caught her eyes as she picked it up to study it before making a happy sigh. "So they left me a souvenir," she stated as the group turned to look at her.
"Hmm?" Inuyasha asked looking at the black hat in Mizu's elderly hands, "Lord Sesshomaru wore this when they had chased after the stone of storms together, he looked so mysterious in this," Mizu giggled while holding it to her chest before noting another present.
"How kind," she whispered fingering the red ribbon tied around the hat, Inuyasha blinked in surprise before snatching the hat from Mizu and sniffing it. "Inuyasha!" Kagome scowled but the half-breed merely grunted.
"It is Sesshomaru's, his stench is everywhere, as is Rin's," he answered as Mizu's eyes lit up. "I thought that you might know them, since your eyes resemble each other's," Mizu stated while standing a mere inch from Inuyasha's eyes as he backed up.
"What's your problem?" he asked rudely as Mizu grinned, "But Sesshomaru is much more mannered then you are, except I wish Sesshomaru had these on his head," she continued before grabbing onto Inuyasha's left doggy ear. "Hey!" he cried moving out of her grasp as she smiled kindly.
"You are like your father very much," she whispered looking up at the half-demon before seeing Inutaisho staring back at her. "He was a kind man that one," she finished before hitting away some dust from her kimono and put the hat with the ribbon on top of the counter to continue her chopping.
"This is very kind of you to feed us all and provide bedding," Miroku praised as Mizu smiled in his direction, "When you have close to ten children in one house you get used to all the noise and work," she answered as Miroku toppled over.
"Ten children?" he asked as she nodded but then her blue eyes grew darker with sadness, Yes, I was not able to bear children so I took in children who were homeless or runaways," she responded while looking down at her evenly cut onions.
"A very kind heart you have there," Sango complimented as Mizu smiled but there was still sadness in it. "Yes as did the woman with Lord Sesshomaru, I just hope nothing happens to her," she whispered but Inuyasha's small ears picked up the small wish as his eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Are you in any way in what is going on with the stones?" Inuyasha asked his eyes serious for a split moment and Mizu saw Sesshomaru glowing deep in him as her smile grew a few inches.
"You look so much like your brother," Mizu stated and her eyes lowered as her hand gently caressed Inuyasha's cheek. "If only Mizu had fallen in love with someone else," she whispered as Inuyasha's eyes widened slightly. Even though he couldn't read minds he could smell all the exhaustion and weariness radiating off this woman.
Then her eyes shut quickly before her entire body went limp and she began to fall to the floor but Inuyasha was there to catch her as she lay as if dead in his arms.
"Is she alright?" Kagome asked urgently getting up to feel for a pulse and to her relief a strong pulse was thumping in the older woman's wrist. "She fainted but she should be fine," Kagome breathed before Inuyasha placed the woman on the couch while Sango got up along with Miroku to give her room.
"What did she say to you Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking up at the half-demon who shrugged. "She said that she wished that Mizu had fallen in love with someone else," he shrugged. "But isn't her—" Kagome began but Sango's voice cut her off, "Kagome look at this!" she stated while the two walked over to a portrait of a beautiful woman with straight hair and blue eyes but her face was dark and full of power.
"This looks like Mizu but her expression is so cold," Miroku observed as Sango nodded, "Is this the person Mizu was talking about?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha studied the picture before an image hit his head so quickly that he had to close his eyes for a moment to catch it.
Around him were tons of people his mother next to him holding his hand and she was smiling down at him before he saw his brother enter the room but it didn't look like Sesshomaru at all.
His brother was in the same clothing but his eyes showed no coldness his lips weren't grim and frowning, there was a soft smile on it and his eyes seemed to be glowing as if grinning at the woman on his arm. She had light blue eyes and straight string hair but her face was still grim.
There was no grin on her lips or in her eyes as she seemed to scowl Sesshomaru about something before walking off her lips drawing deeper into a frown as Sesshomaru's smile disappeared before the familiar impassive look took over his eyes. He watched from his short point of view before feeling his mother's hand tighten on his small hand before she went to comfort Sesshomaru but the demon merely shook her off and went after the strange woman.
After that Inuyasha blinked his eyes open to see everyone staring at him as if afraid he would faint too. "I'm not going to pass out you guys! Stop giving me that look!" he ordered before crossing his arms across his chest.
"What happened to you Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha looked up at the portrait of the woman staring back at him with a small frown. "That is the Mizu that Mizu was talking about," he merely stated as an answer.

"Huh? Rin is that really you?" the elderly woman asked balancing on her bow to look at the woman staring back with a grin. "Yes it is Kaede don't you believe me?" she asked while holding in a giggle at seeing the old priestess again. "Aye it is you!" she cried after vast studying.
"I didn't believe ye at first since I thought that you would be long gone in a human village. But I see that ye are still with Lord Sesshomaru," she answered as Rin smiled slightly her grin disappearing slightly.
"Where is your lord?" she asked as Rin looked back and forth to see that he was gone.
"I'll go look for him, care to come with Lady Kaede?" Rin asked as the elderly woman chuckled. "Look at me child, do I look like I can keep up with a woman like you?" she asked as Rin giggled.
"Of course, you don't look a day over twenty," Rin complimented as the woman chuckled more until she had to sit down her sides hurting. "Go child, find him," she ordered as Rin took off in a run.
"Go find the man you love," she whispered knowing love; she had seen it many times with Inuyasha and Kagome along with Miroku and Sango.
"Lady Kaede, a pleasure," a man's voice stated as Kaede turned to see Totosai there on his usual large chocolate colored cow that made its usual moo of greeting. "What have you come here for you old fool?" Kaede stated playfully as Totosai glared playing along.
"Why do you pick on me so?" he asked then breaking into fake tears while the cow merely mooed once more. "Oh hush now, ye know I was faking," Kaede scowled before letting the cow inside.
"Did I hear voices before? Or is it that my ears are catching up with my age?" Totosai questioned as Kaede sat down on her knees giving her feet a rest. "There were voices, Lord Sesshomaru and Rin paid a visit, you just missed them," Kaede answered her scowl completely disappeared from her features as the sword maker grinned.
"So Lord Sesshomaru still has Rin eh?" Totosai answered a smug smile on his lips as Kaede nodded while looking out of the string hanging door to see soft breezes caressing the grass and the leaves on a nearby tree.
"Was it windy when you got here Totosai?" Kaede asked as the old man grinned in her direction. "Oh it isn't Lord Totosai anymore? Or old fool? Very familiar with me are you?" he flirted while Kaede blushed before hitting him atop the head. "Get serious you old fool," Kaede scowled as Totosai nervously laughed.
"Well, no when I got here it seemed pretty calm, why do you ask?" he wondered as Kaede looked out again and for some reason the grass and the tree seemed to be moving quicker. "I hope there isn't a storm coming," she whispered before taking in a breath when she heard Totosai's cow moo once more as if breaking the ice that seemed to fall upon the small cottage.
"Hey Totosai? Does your cow ever quiet down?" Kaede asked as Totosai looked over to her before getting up and touching the cow's nose before the cow fell on its knees and its eyes closed quickly before it fell asleep. "There you go," he grinned as Kaede stared before clearing her throat but watched the cow out of the corner of her eye.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I will repeat, I will not a bid to a demon's wishes," Otaku scowled as Sesshomaru tried again for a grab at his scabbard. "Why does your barrier keep me out?" Sesshomaru asked his eyes cold waiting for the sword to just quiver and listen.
"Because I tried letting a demon control me before, believe me, it wasn't pretty, besides—Hey! I said leave me a lone!" the sword cried but it was too late as Sesshomaru's right hand clasped over the scabbard giving him reign to the sword's power.
"This'll teach you," Otaku whispered before his barrier activated and Sesshomaru had to flinch to keep from gasping at the pain that splintered up his fingers and up his arm. His skin was covered in a pinkish aura as he felt his flesh giving way as if burning off. "I won't let you take control of me," Sesshomaru seethed before feeling the power radiate from his being.
Just a little closer he thought before he visualized Rain the stone of storms in his mind but the pain crept higher breaking his concentration as he let his eyes glow red his demonic powers overlapping Otaku's. Again he visualized Rain and this time the pain subsided only slightly as he felt the feeling of flight and he could sense his back muscles moving faster and stronger then before.
"Too...powerful," Otaku whispered before all the pain evaporated from Sesshomaru's arm as the demon couldn't keep a smirk of triumph from appearing on his lips. "Let's see what else you can do," Sesshomaru replied before stepping off the ground to feel the air collide like silk around his skin the soft wings sprouted from his back flapping as if in a dance across the sky.
"Just because Otaku can't beat you doesn't mean that we can't," Rain's voice echoed in Sesshomaru's head before a searing pain erupted in his skull along with the rest of his body this time a groan of pain did escape form him as the wings flapped more urgently but couldn't keep him a float and he came soaring to the ground before slamming hard on his back.
The wings glowed before turning into snow and flowing back into the gold stone on Otaku's scabbard before the dog demon's hold on Otaku lessened and the sword hovered out of his grasp as Sesshomaru sat up looking down at his burned hand before the skin slowly began to repair itself.
"I see that you were serious when you meant that no demon could wield you," Sesshomaru stated as Otaku merely grunted. "Yeah, but you were much more difficult then expected, next time I'll use some help, only from injuring you before Rain and Uka came in were we able to set you down," Otaku answered.
"But don't try it again or we three won't be so forgiving," Otaku threatened as Sesshomaru raised a delicate brow. "You are threatening me?" he asked in disbelief as Otaku grunted again but quivered.
"Of course I am, hey get that glare off your face, it isn't very comfortable around you when you look like that," Otaku shuddered as Sesshomaru suppressed a smirk. "Next time you threaten me, make sure you can back it up, next time I'll be much more prepared," Sesshomaru stated and by the way his eyes seemed to show more boredom then usual, the sword and the stones inside knew that Sesshomaru had only let them win because he felt pity for their little power.
"Were you toying with us?" Otaku had to ask as the dog demon's smirk widened to a degree. "That would be the only way you could beat me wouldn't it?" he asked back as the sword was for sure setting off steam. "Next time I will be ready for your so called threat and excel your rank and power," Sesshomaru stated as Otaku could hear himself growl at the demon.
"Don't be so confident dog, we'll see," Otaku matched but Sesshomaru merely rose a brow again before turning and waking off as if he was merely on a stroll. "If I cannot wield a sword then you are of no use to me, but it seems Rin favors you," Sesshomaru stated when he had noticed that Otaku had come following.
"Yeah I'm sure that you are all high and mighty, you're just jealous that a human girl can wield a sword that you can't," Otaku answered but felt a shiver run down him when Sesshomaru next spoke. "Don't need to worry about that too long now do we? Once the stones are put away the curse is lifted then I get to see your power by yourself," Sesshomaru observed, "And Rin won't be seeing you after that," Otaku nervously laughed before hovering faster.
Sesshomaru had not commented after but felt smug with himself when Otaku was silent for a bit and he could smell a small hitch of fear. After a few moments his mind wandered off to Rin thinking about if it was still safe for her. Then he wondered if in the future since Rin was so comfortable with Otaku if he could use Otaku to his advantage, she would probably do anything to keep Otaku safe. The unusual evil thoughts that radiated in his were from some of getting this irregular hunger for Rin out or at least eased and to show Otaku that he was serious about his recent threats. "If you want to know why we won't let demons truly wield us then I will tell you, since I see that curiosity in your gold eyes ever since you found out you couldn't touch me," Otaku stated when he began to notice that Sesshomaru was watching him with a rather unusual expression on his face and it seemed like he was thinking what went best with steel and stone, food wise.
Sesshomaru merely raised a brow at the sword to show for him to continue as the sword coughed before doing so, "Along time ago me and four others were trapped into these objects, I, into a samurai sword. Uka, into the water stone, and Rain into the storm stone, there are two others left. But 500 years ago a priestess sent us into these objects because we had gotten out of hand but not necessarily. She had said that to get herself out of trouble from the village. When we knew that she was blackmailing us when we had helped her help the village we all had gotten together and fought her. But at the last blow she sent us all into these things and off into different locations all over Japan. It cost her life but she didn't care, if she was found to by the village dieing from a spell was much better then what they would do to her. But soon after a demon had gotten past my weak barrier since my powers were drained until I can fully heal. After killing many and battles won the demon had been injured everyday for no apparent reason. Then one day all the skin on his bones dissolved and his soul stolen. But when a human wielded us last time he was a samurai but his soul didn't give way he just died of old age and we were sent back to our locations where we first were when the priestess banished us," Otaku took in a deep breath before continuing.
"So our object steal demon's souls, we don't why or what for but it seems that is another curse that is wielded. And I care for Rin deeply, and I know she cares for you, so to keep this alright I made the thing up about not being wielded by a demon but I did that since I noted that Rin would die without you," Otaku finished as Sesshomaru watched before speaking.
"I see that you care for Rin but she would be easy without me since she still has you," Sesshomaru stated his voice hitching to his great annoyance. "Well that's were your wrong-" Otaku couldn't finish for he heard the small sound of Rin's voice calling from a close distance away.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Otaku! Are any of you out there!" she yelled as Sesshomaru turned from Otaku to meet up with Rin.
"Wait..." Otaku whispered as Sesshomaru stopped in mid-step to look back as Otaku, he was just hovered but he wasn't moving and his sword was now glowing a pinkish color. "There is a stone nearby, the stone of fire," he whispered.
