Kikyo stared at Inuyasha's prone figure lying in the hospital bed weeping. How could they could do this to him. They were suppose to be the ones that cared the most about him. His brother and ex wife were the most evil people in the world if this is what that can do. She turned her eyes back towards the man that loved her most. His eyes were bruised shut and the majority of his skin was purple and blue. He groaned in pain and remained asleep thanks to the morphine.

"Oh Inuyasha. You poor man." Kikyo rubbed her thumbs across his clawless hands and vowed. She vowed with all her being that she would help him get revenge for everything that wench and insufferable brother of his had down.

"Don't worry my love. Everything will be ok. Just you wait and see." Her eyes turned cold and emotionless. There was an evil glint to her expression that would make people cower in fear. Standing up, being as silent as possible, Kikyo left the room to make a call. She knew exactly who she could call to get the job done.

What do you need?

Answered a silky voice reeking of evil. Even over the phone he sent chilled through her. This had to be done no matter the cost. And she was willing to pay it.

I know you've seen the news. I need to get rid of her.

A little pay back I assume

Don't state the obvious. I just need her gone and indisposed.

Watch your tongue wench. You called me. You know my price. Have it deposited tonight.

Half now. Half when its done.

Very well. Everyone is watching her. This will take time.

Just get it don't. Point blank.

With that, she hung up the phone. Her and Inuyasha's problem will be gone soon enough.

It felt like the wind was knocked out of her. There was no way this was happening. Did she have the right house? Was this a cruel joke? What dimension was she transported to because there was no way there was little girl stand at the door at a house that belonged to the fearsome, human hating Taiyoukai Sesshomaru Taisho.

"You know miko, you vaguely resemble a fish with your mouth flapping."

That voice. Shit. She must have looked like the biggest idiot in the world. There standing being the child was the voices owner. There was no outward expression on his face but his eyes showed his amusement. Kagome felt her cheeks grow hot as the youkai reduced her to a simpering fool once again.

'Good job Kagome. Great way to show him that you've grown'

Sighing, Kagome swept her bruised pride to the back burner and smiled at the imposing man standing before her. Maybe she would be able to salvage this night. After all, she had business to conduct and he was the center to getting everything done to make sure her planes were to be completed.

"Good evening Sesshomaru-sama. Thank you for inviting me to dinner. Though I am surprised by this pretty little girl." Kagome knelt down to the girl's eye level and held her hand out.

"Hi cutie, my name is Kagome. What's yours?"

Rin grinned from ear to ear to finally see the woman that had her father always on edge. She was much more pretty in person than the picture. She was so excited. If she was going to be her new mom, the kids at school would be so jealous. Showing the gaps in her teeth, she stepped forward and shook Kagome's hand.

"My name is Rin. It's nice to meet you. You're really pretty. Isn't she daddy?"

Sesshomaru was enjoying the interaction between the two females until Rin threw him off kilter. Well that was unexpected. Kagome's eye widen at that child. First she called Sesshomaru, the deadly, daddy. Second, she asked him is she was beautiful.

'That's it I'm in the Twilight Zone.'

Sesshomaru could see the disbelief in her eyes. He smirked to himself. The miko was so easy to get off balance that he decided to have a little fun.

"Yes Rin, she is very beautiful." The blush deepen on her face and gasped. No, no, no what is happening.

"Come Rin, Kagome, dinner is served and we don't want it to get cold." Sesshomaru offered his arm to Kagome. She was in such a daze, that she didn't notice that she took his arm and work to the dining room. Always, there was the patter of Rin's feet in her mind reminding her just how different this meeting was going to be.

She snapped out of her brain lapse when she saw food was being placed in front of her. Across the table from her was the little girl who was smiling and chattering as if everything was normal and to her right was Sesshomaru. Mentally, Kagome hit her head to the table. This was going to be a very long night.

Long awaited update. Don't jump my bones yet. I'm work and going to school full time. I will update when I can I promise. ^_^
