Tresses of silver mingled with pink velvet. White and crimson danced with lush light cherry. Yellow with violet waves mixed with the scenery. The earth was decorated in not its wonderful green or natural brown…But pink...Cherry blossoms. The trees waved their flowers with the breeze, allowing the velvet to fall to the ground in majestic beauty. The petals fell silently like snow, but held a rich sweet smell within the air. High above, the sun eyed the land with its warmth and cleared the sky of any clouds except for a few wisps. Upon this path, lost in the very small forest of cherry blossoms, walked a male draped in red, yellow, purple, and white clothing. Armor and swords a simple gray or black with eyes like no others. Magenta marks seemed to appear like scars beneath each amber eye upon the cheeks and at the center of a noble head, rest a mark of the crescent moon in violet. Light steps carried the male forth before a light dirge reached his ears…A hymn far too familiar to forget that held the voice of a child...Free and pure. Not bound by the world's problems to sound so happy. His eyes trailed to a single Cherry Blossom. The passing of kin was something none might take to so lightly but nothing crossed his expression...The demon's half brother, was dead by means he knew not of nor when his demise came about. Eyes grew bright with the sun before he looked away, moving on and ignoring the thoughts that began to flood him suddenly. He moved on, listening to the light groan of a retainer, and the cheerful awe and song of a curious young child. A young maiden sat beneath a light color cherry blossom tree the wind blowing her faded raven hair as she closed her eyes the young child stumbling about trying to catch the blossoms as they fell to the ground in a dance in mid air the young maidens clothing was that of a priestess, but yet she sat watching over her little child the little one dressed in that of a red kimono her little raven colored ears picking up on the sound of footsteps her head tilting showing her bangs to be black and her eyes tinted in ember color with a hint of brown. A delicate breeze wrapped itself around the figure before fading, carrying the blossoms in a whirling circle around the large male before falling to the ground once more. With its wake in movement caused his clothes to draw about slightly as well, making it obviously clear, something was lacking within the left sleeve...A limb. The scent of the flowers was overpowering, thus, not allowing other scents to be checked. Pupils grew thin, drawing into lines and almost being lost within a sea of gold as the male demon suddenly stopped. Something off ahead caught his attention. The song grew louder but his eyes did not fall to the small being that skipped passed his tall figure excitedly. That groan grew louder, but the other two beings with him, did not bother to stop as he had.

The little girl looked up from where she had jumped seeing him smiling a bit seeing his ember eyes that looked just like hers her ears perked up more as she ran toward him smiling reaching for him to pick her up she was little maybe about three and she seemed to hold no fear in her eyes as she grabbed hold of his hand. The young maidens eyes open slowly as she sat up slowly walking toward her child not knowing who she chased after now. The others stopped, opene-jawed and staring as a small (infant perhaps) quickly moved passed them and to the canine. Amber hues looked down, seeing the child before the small child traveling with him walked close to the strange looking kid. "Rin, do you know this infant?" the imp asked, bringing forth a large two headed dragon steed to look at the child as well. The girl shook her head before looking up to the tall white youkai, who's eyes were still upon the small being who held his hand..No, finger really as its hands were too small to grasp the bulk of his hand. "It's a hanyou, Jaken." Rin spoke up this time, shooting a glance back to the lupus. Yes indeed it as a hanyou… But the smell is what caused the demon to remain still. Finally, he pulled his hand free of the child Rin grasped it and gently moved the hanyou to face her. "So adorable!" She squeaked looking up to her savior for words or perhaps, some sort of answer as to why it suddenly ran out like it did towards him alone. His eyes however, did not meet her own and instead, were now turned upon someone new to them… Someone who approached- he figured, the guardian to this hanyou...

The maiden stepped forward the child catching her scent through the cherry blossoms heading into her mother's arms as the mother picked her daughter up into her loving arms her faded orbs looking into the yokai lords. "... It has been a long time hasn't it Lord Sesshoumaru..."

He watched nonchalantly. Eyes widened partially before resuming their usual look once seeing the parent of this child. "Indeed it has been." Was his response. Rin smiled brightly before giggling some. Her hand lifted as she waved. "Hello," she spoke smiling towards a familiar human face… But with a hanyou child. Her child, no doubt, but even as Sesshoumaru and Jaken could tell, none spoke up as of yet. Sesshomaru's amber orbs slipped towards the pup in her hands and he wondered to himself before slapping the thoughts away quickly. Lids closed for a moment before he pushed passed her, walking smoothly once again and heading on his own way. He had no interest in being reacquainted with a human… Least of all, one of his brother's friends... The little child started to cry letting out a low whimpering getting free of her mother's arms heading for the strong yokai the mother standing back up once more watching the child knowing Sesshoumaru wouldn't try anything with Rin who looked like she was getting attached to the small hanyou that reached for the man's index finger latching on her hand smooth and warm.

He had thought it had been Rin but even she did not draw so closely to him when they traveled. The sudden feel of flesh upon his own caused his muscles to jump without truly being seen. Head turned and he eyed the small child for a moment before pulling his finger free and turning away once again. Rin followed along with Jaken and the oni. The "pack" was continuing to move but Rin and Jaken knew if this child continued to follow them, Sesshoumaru would sooner or later demand it be removed or simply, remove it himself...And his "removing" might just be in a violent rude manner. Better not to tempt a dog that acted like a wolf at times. The child let out a out a loud bark as she hurried her pace leaping biting into the ankle of the lord her fangs piercing through the black leather boot he wore her grip tightening around as well Kagome hurrying her pace now seeing her daughter attack him in a playful manner.

Finally, he was forced to stop. Eyes narrowed and Jaken went to smack the hanyou off but was stopped with a glance from the canine. He knelt down smoothly, his hand coming around to the child's back and neck before he lifted it that way...Such a strange way to hold a child but if one dare think this way, he did in fact have "Dog" in him. Feline's carried their young by the scruff of the neck and dog's were a little more rougher, willing to pick up pups in any manner… even shoving them along worked fine. His hand was large enough for his digits to wrap around the hanyou enough to hold her up and as he had, his grip slipped somewhat, now holding her by her clothing. Placing her down he looked over to the woman, waiting for her to claim her child before he was forced to send her on her way.

The child whimpered a bit reaching for him. "She admires you Lord Sesshoumaru she doesn't see much of her kind..." She picked the little girl up into her arms. "She didn't even get to be held by her father." The child barked playfully at him again reaching for him. "She's not accepted in most places you would no about those things wouldn't you Lord Sesshoumaru..." She spoke coldly toward him in this new tone.

The Inu youkai held his gaze evenly with the pup's before turning away from the both of them and continuing on. Oh he knew well hanyou's weren't accepted into society… Humans despised demons and demons fed off of the humans and hated them. Humans feared the youkai. What more did one side need to hate a hanyou- mixed with both genes who hated one another? His brother had been no exception however, unlike most- and rather common to see, hanyous, Inuyasha had ended up being more human the beast as well as..."this" hanyou in her arms. Rin bowed to Kagome, scuttling off to follow her lord with Jaken close by...Sesshoumaru wanted to hear nothing concerning hanyous or his worthless brother who was truly dead this time. She stepped forward fallowing him the child looked up to her mother confused at what her mother was trying to do. Kagome moved walking beside the young yokai lord her eyes shimmering in the light cherry blossoms petals falling one petal landing on the pups nose only to make the child sneeze.
