Okay guys, I decided to rewrite this story because I want to make sure I get it right this time. I decided not add Sango and Miroku on this journey, I wanted this to be about Inuyasha and Sesshomaru facing the enemy of their father along with the fact that these brothers are making amends; If they are going to defeat this guy, they are going to have to work together. Serafina will not be introduced until the next chapter. Hope you guys like this chapter.

Chapter Two

Everyone was enjoying breakfast as Sesshomaru talked about his daily duties as a lord. Kagome talked about how she visited her family, and they congratulated them on their wedding along with showing photos of the wedding they had in the Feudal Era. She also talked about Miroku and Sango returning to the demon slayer village with Kohaku to rebuild it and train future demon slayers. Miroku and Sango had gotten married after Naraku's death and Sango is expecting their first child: a baby boy which Miroku was over the moon about. Inuyasha smiled at Kagome. He didn't like seeing her upset and she was right about making amends with his brother. After breakfast, Kagome wanted to explore the garden and be under the supervision of a palace guard while him and Inuyasha talked.

"What was our father like?" asked Inuyasha. He never knew his father and from what his mother told him, he died protecting them from the night he was born and left him a ball to play with.

"Our father was a fierce and powerful dog demon who was known for being a good man as well. He met and married my mother out of politics and thus I was born then he met your mother Izayoi, and you were born. He truly loved your mother and died protecting you both" said Sesshomaru.

"I hope to be a great man like him someday" said Inuyasha.

"You are and will be. You have a mate who loves you despite being a half-demon. I promise you that with great tutoring and training, you will make a fine lord" said Sesshomaru and proceeded to tell Inuyasha more about their father. Sesshomaru was surprised at how much information Inuyasha absorbed and even gave Inuyasha books to read and had a scroll sent out to find tutors for his brother. Inuyasha deserved an education as much as he did. If Inuyasha was going to be a good ruler to his people, he needed to learn everything as much as possible. Inuyasha met with Sesshomaru's head guard Daisuke who showed Inuyasha new moves in sword fighting, Sesshomaru explained to Inuyasha what duties he will have as lord and learning of politics and strategy. Kagome watched him read throughout the day and Sesshomaru was impressed with how fast Inuyasha was learning. He was still hot-headed and brash, but he started to tone down a bit. Dinner was eaten and everyone headed to bed.

Little Rin came to Sesshomaru's room in her sleeping yukata and her stuffed dog. Sesshomaru looked surprised.

"Lord Sesshomaru, you have always been my protector and Rin was wondering if I could call you Dad or Papa?" she asked in her sweet voice.

"Yes Rin, you may, and I will acknowledge you as my daughter to the courts" he said and patted the child's head and sent her off to bed.

"Thank you, Papa! Now all I need is a mother and siblings to play with!" she added and nodded off to sleep. Sesshomaru blushed and went back to his room to sleep.

"I hope to find a mate that is worthy. I will not tolerate some clingy demoness who simply thinks she can easily get in my bed. If she's going to accept me, she must accept Rin, but I will worry about that another day but we're leaving tomorrow to find Kyoran and put an end to this" said Sesshomaru and went to sleep. Him and Inuyasha did not know what Kyoran had planned but they were going to have to be careful.

Okay so Sesshomaru decided to adopt Rin as his daughter. Serafina is going to be introduced in the next chapter and she happens to know Kyoran on a more intimate level so she's going to play a role in helping defeat him. Thank you guys and I will do my best to make this story better.
