Rin was waiting for Anisuke and Lord Sesshomaru to get back; she hoped Lord Sesshomaru got there in time. Anisuke was one of her favorite people; he made her feel smart and useful. Sometimes she felt like she was just getting in the way.

She couldn't keep herself still and kept pacing from Ah-Un's head to his tail. When Anisuke came into view she just couldn't resist flinging herself into his arms with a squeal. "Anisuke! Anisuke! I was so worried! I thought they were going to hurt you, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Anisuke chuckled as he picked her up and started rubbing circles on her back. "Shhh, it's alright little kit, I am perfectly fine. Now why don't we get the camp set up while Sesshomaru-sama hunts and Jakan gets Ah-Un settled, alright?" Rin nodded and everyone set about getting ready for the night.

Rin's mind was focused on how much better her life was with Lord Sesshomaru, Jakan, Ah-Un, and Anisuke. Jaken was like an older brother, he yelled at her a lot be he always made sure she was alright, and sometimes he would even play with her. Ah-Un was a very loyal pet that always watched out for her and he was so cute. Sesshomaru was like the father she never had, he protected her and fed her and even though he never said anything, she knew that he cared about her. Anisuke was a mother; he nurtured her, played with her, and taught her anything that she wanted to know and more. The only thing that was missing was for father and mother to get together like parents.

Jaken had never been more pleased. At first he had been wary of the newcomer, after all he knew how dangerous a Midnight kitsune could be, but after he had gotten to know Anisuke different plans started to form. He desperately wanted his Lord to be happy and it looked as if this little fox was what it was going to be.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kouga rolled with laughter; oh this was just too good. He had just run into the mutt and heard the story of a lifetime from the wench. She complained about a Midnight kitsune that had thoroughly told her off a week earlier. He had pretended to be sympathetic and understanding while on the inside he was laughing his butt off. He wanted to meet this fox that was for sure. He sent his wolves out to find Sesshomaru's group, it wouldn't be hard, that man gave off one hell of a powerful scent that told you to keep away or else. He might be a good guy to know if he ever lightened up a little, which would probably be when hell froze over. Nah, he'd still be a prick then too. Snicker.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshomaru noticed the wolf prince's minions hanging around and would have sighed if it would not have been undignified. It would seem that they were going to have company soon; he had better mind his manners, what few manners he had that is.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anisuke returned to camp after traveling to the nearest village with Rin to get some new clothes. Rin and he now had brand new wardrobes that were thankfully being carried by Ah-Un after he had shrunk them down, though they still took up a good bit of space, he may have overdone it just a little bit, maybe.

He was now wearing a black silk kimono with an emerald sash, it was plain but it made his eyes glow. Rin had insisted on getting clothes that looked just like him and wearing what he was, he thought that it was very cute and flattering. He had no idea that it made them look like parent and child, which is what she was going for after all.

He stopped dead in his tracks when he reached the camp only to be hit by the scent of another very dominate canine, a wolf. He scanned the area and found the source of the smell almost immediately. He was standing across from Sesshomaru with his arms crossed and a slightly aggravated look on his face. He was only slightly shorter then Sesshomaru and seemed to completely unaffected by what little height advantage Sesshomaru had. Anisuke couldn't stop his blush as he took in the way that the wolf was dressed, he left very little to the imagination. When Rin came to a stop beside him she let out a small gasp that drew the attention of both of the canine's to them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kouga felt his mouth water, what a beauty! Small and slender with an aura of power swirling from his cute little ears to his tiny little toes, and almost of age to mate too. He knew that Sesshomaru had eyes on him already but maybe they could work something out, after all, it would take more then one dominate to fully appreciate such a treat. Two might not even be enough, so cute.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rin scooted closer to Anisuke, she knew that he wasn't going to hurt her but the wolf still made her a little nervous; he was just so loud compared to Lord Sesshomaru. But being close to her 'mommy' made her feel better.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshomaru watched Anisuke's face carefully, and almost growled when he blushed. He knew that Anisuke was attracted to him, but he also knew that even as a taiyokai, keeping a Midnight fox happy was going to be difficult. Midnight foxes are the only kind of fox that are 'pack' family yokai, each submissive normally had at least two mates, it was said that the submissive foxes had hearts too big for one love. It looks as if he may have to learn how to share, because there was no way he was letting Anisuke go now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The evening after that point was a little strained at first but with Kouga's outgoing personality, it didn't stay that way for very long. Soon enough even Sesshomaru was seen to be smiling a little though he would deny it to the last and tear apart any who would dare bring it up -glare-. Kouga didn't seem to have trouble bringing out the more outgoing side of Anisuke either; it was a sight Sesshomaru's entire group was happy to see.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Far away from their enjoyment, Naraku was watching them carefully through Kanna's mirror with great interest. He was most interested in this new demon, it was said that Midnight kitsunes had the ability to do almost anything if they only put their minds to it. Perhaps he could find something that the little one wanted to trade for a favor that would forever free him from the influence of that filthy bandit Onigumo and the dead priestess Kikyo. Though to be perfectly honest, he was also interested in the kitsune himself, some of the mannerisms he showed threw up warning flags in his mind. He would have to catch him when he was alone, or with only the little human girl, yes that would do nicely, after all, no one had told him about Naraku.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was only a couple days later that Naraku got his chance. Anisuke had left the group, which now included Kouga, to gather some herbs from the banks of a nearby creek; he wanted to make dinner that night and wanted everyone to like it. He was rather startled when he looked up to find a handsome yokai staring at him from only a few feet away, he hadn't seen or smelled him approach. He breathed deeply to find that this man had a rather strange smell, he smelled like a full-blooded demon but there was also the smell of a human soul, a disgusting human soul at that.

Naraku knew that Anisuke could smell Onigumo when his cute nose scrunched up. "Greetings Anisuke-san. My name is Naraku and I have come to ask you for a trading of favors. You do something for me and I will return the favor in whatever way you wish."

Anisuke measured the man carefully, he knew that his yokai was not a nice man, he seemed to be the type to manipulate those around him, but there was also something about him that was oddly exciting and alluring. Surely there is no reason to refuse to even listen, after all, he knew that he could protect himself if need be. "What favor is it that you wish to ask of this Anisuke?"
