CHAPTER ONE: The Heven Beside Me

Sesshomaru leaned against the tree, watching Rin run aound the clearing, chased by an angery Jaken. As always. Things didn't seem to change that much anymore... Just the same endless hunt of Inuyasha... Damn it, that was the very thing he had been trying not to think of... Stupid hanyou...

'No ga nair, baka. You weren't suposed to think of him anymore. Never again... Never again. Just forget about him. Raise Rin and run the Western Lands...Don't chases after a memeory that only you remember...'

Sesshomaru sighed and looked over at the scerne trees. He sat up abrutly when a form apeared. Rin and Jaken stopped running around the clearing and they too turned to look at the figure, who was still a black outline, since it had not yet come out of the tree cover. What Sesshomaru clould see of that outline was that the person-or whatever it was- was too tall to be human, slender, and that hair longer than his even.

"What do you want?" he aked finally after a few minutes of sliente staring.

"You to never interfere."

"With what?"

"Does that matter? What do you care for the humans...?"

"Depends."

"Or hanyous."

"Do not cross me, Sesshomaru."

The figure disapeared, leaving Sesshomaru feeling slightly ill.

"Mi'lord?" Jaken asked. "Are you alright?"

"Yes."

"Is Sesshomaru-sama sure? Rin would be sad if he is," Rin looked up at him with the sweet innocence of a child.

"Yes,I am fine."

"If you're sure...." Jaken and Rin chorused.

"Yes....that meeting just....disturbed me a bit..."

"What did he mean, by asking if you cared for humans or hanyous?" Jaken pressed, wondering why his lord looked like he couldn't even stand up due to...fear?

'He ment that he was going to do something to Inuyasha...and he knew that I would try to protect him...' But Sesshomaru did nopt tell that to Jaken.

"I'm not sure," he said instead.

Jaken still didn't believe him, but he didn't say anything this time.

Sesshomaru stood, nearly faflling over in the process, but he stood. 'Why do I feel so weak? It's not like that stupid hanyou means anything to me anymore. He never did...Why am I still lieing to myself...?'

"Jaken, take Rin back to the palace and stay there. Do not leave for any reason until I return. And if I don't within the season, run and hide in the nearest village."

"Mi'lord!" the two excalimed in unison.

"What do you mean, 'if I don't return'? What are you going to do!?!?!?!"

"Sesshomaru-sama!"

"Just do it, Jaken."

"Y-yes mi'lord."

Sesshomaru nodded, and then he walked away into the forest.

"Jaken, what is wrong with Sesshomaru-sama? He seemed so sad after the last battle, and now he semed even sader...Do you think it's because of Inuyasha?"

"Stupid girl! Of course not..."

'But she is right...he was so much sadder...and now this...oh Mi'lord...What is going to happen to you? What are you going to do?'

----

Inuyasha caught the jewel shard as the demon's body was cut in twain. He turned and glared at Kagome. "What were you thinking you baka! You could've been hurt!"

"And you were!"

"Yes, but I'm a hanyou! You're human!"

"So?"

"So? SO?! YOU SHOULDN'T PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER LIKE THAT!"

"Sit."

"Wha-?"

Inuyasha was slamed headfirst into the dirt. "WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR?"

"Because you're acting like a bastard."

"I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU! CAN'T I DO THAT?"

"No."

"AND WHY THE HELL NOT?!?!?!"

"Because. Sit boy."

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo exchanged looks.

"They never change do they?" Shippo asked mournfuly.

Miroku shook his head. "Proubly not."

Sango picked up Kilara. "They're so stupid sometimes..."

"And you and Miroku are better how...?" Shippo muttered under his breath, causing Sango to blush and Miroku to grope her.

As always.

i'm so happy though because yesterday i spent forever looking for a good desktop, and i now have this really cool one of inuyasha and sess. inu looks like he's about to attack something while sess is standing behind him with his sword out, and it almost looks like he's ready to protect inu.
