So with me coming back to Inuyasha, I decided to post a few old story ideas I had and decided to post them, due to the occasion. What occasion may you ask? Well yours truly is re-watching Inuyasha from start ti finish all over again, skipping about three episodes because after watching them, I swore I would never put myself through that again. Hard core Inukag shippers probably have an idea of which ones I'm skipping, but they're mostly from the first season. Also, there is a lot of foreshadowing in the first episode, little things that are brilliant for stories…so follow me because I'll probably have some stories coming out that are inspired by these tiny moments they share.

Anyways, so this story is just something I've had on my mind for about three years, I really wanted to do a story carrying three pairings, as well, carrying the heavy and possessive nature of demons. So enough of my talking, all I can say is read and review.

A demon may identify their mate by simply being near them. From there scent draws them closer, sound pulls them in, and sight confirms who they will have.

Life can change so quickly…in the blink of an eye years can pass. If only I was so lucky. If only I had seen the signs would I have been able to avoid it all. Would I have been able to help avoid my fate? To help not be lured into a spider's web or into the wolves den…or should I say…the den of dogs.

Line

In a dark room, the only light came from the quarter moon that was edging closer in the view of the large wall of window. On one window seat, a man sat with a piece of paper against his knee, scribbling away to the accompaniment of tapping finger nails. Drumming against something coming from the dark corner of the room.

"Miroku?" A voice called from its' corner. Though it was rough it leaked with a feeling of strain and impatience but mostly tired.

"Yes?" The other male groaned from the window seat the handsome man with thin dark hair pulled back in a small ponytail and his onyx eyes glancing over to the corner of the dark room they sat in.

"Is your wife accustomed enough here?"

"Oh? How kind of you to ask." The man named Miroku chuckled. "She'll talk to me again, but I feel you want something now."

"It was a thought."

"I never imagined you to have those. My Sango has accustomed here better than Rin had. I suppose it and it does bring comfort to have a companion to keep them company while we are away. Funny how they knew each other before they came here."

"Fucking hilarious. You and my brother both."

"You always are a downer." Miroku sighed. "I just find it interesting when you think of it, I did hear something interesting between the two yesterday when they were chatting, I was the first to return, and they had no clue. But they have another friend, a…Kagome, they all went to high school together and the first few years of college."

"Why should I care about this?" The voice growled now in annoyance.

"You don't have to if you don't want to, but that's why I'm writing her a letter from Sango, inviting her to come visit."

"Haven't you taken enough from her? She'll stop talking to you again when she hears of this. It's disgusting to watch you two take everything from them."

Miroku shrugged before standing up.

"Perhaps, but I do wish to test a small theory I have. It would really be fucking hilarious if she joined them here too…don't you think? Then we'll see how disgusted you are…once you find your mate."

He turned to look over his shoulder with a smug smile to only be met with two gold glowing orbs glaring at him intensely before the door blocked him away from them.

Kagome Higurashi held her black hair behind her ear as the wind attempted to blow it over her face. She looked down to the letter she held and then up to the gate. The same address was printed there as proof she was at the right place, still she looked past the bars of the gate to the mansion beyond. She ran her fingers through her hair gently, before brushing off any possible dust that was on her skirt. She was unsure of what type of meeting this was to be, and dressed in a simple navy skirt with a light pink blouse and sweater.

"How did Sango end up living here?" She asked aloud, looking back at the extremely neat and fluid penmanship of her best friend. Though she knew Sango to have more of a neat print instead of cursive handwriting, it had been over half a year since she last even heard from her best friend. The phone message she got was odd, hearing her brave friend tell her that she had gone out of town and she was in no way to seek her out or contact her again. Receiving this letter was such a thrill that perhaps now Sango wanted to see her again just as much.

The black haired beauty glanced at her watch and then hesitantly reached her hand out to the gate. Her fingers gripping the cold bars that sent a jolt up her body as the wind seemed to blow harder. Kagome slipped past the gate and pulled her sweater closer before closing the gate behind her. The pathway to the manner was shorter than it looked, that with her long legs, Kagome made it fluidly to the large doors. The size of the mansion taking the breath from her lungs and intimidated her in an odd way. Raising a finger she pressed the doorbell and waited in quiet. It took a few minutes, but the door slowly seemed to open yet no face looked out to see who it was. Her gaze slowly turned downward when she saw a small green figure in the doorway.

"A toad demon?" She blinked in surprise.

"How rude! I am Jaken Master of the two headed staff!" It squawked to her. Kagome's eyelids only lowered in annoyance.

"So I take it you aren't the master of this mansion."

"Of course not! This is the great Lord Sesshomaru's mansion! Now what business do you have here!?"

"I have come to see my friend Sango, I had no idea that she was staying with this…Sesshomaru you speak of."

"Stupid girl, you must treat my lord with higher respect! GWAH!" A foot crashed down atop his head when the door was pulled open wider. Kagome blinked her eyes to see a handsome young man smiling at her cheerfully. He was dressed in a deep purple dress shirt and black slacks, looking much like the professional business man, except for the ponytail at the nape of his neck and the few rings visible along his ear.

"Excuse Jaken, he is the stupid one here, I'm sure his master will agree if he hears the disrespect of his lady's friend."

The toad seemed to pale before bowing deeply.

"My apologies!" He grumbled before scurrying off with the man before Kagome chuckling.

"Are you the Sesshomaru he spoke of?" She asked him. He turned his onyx gaze to her which sent chills upon her spine.

"Oh no, I am only a business partner with him. And another resident here. My name is Miroku, Sango is my fiancée."

"She's engaged now! Congratulations!" She beamed. "I'm sure you'll be happy together."

"Please reassure that to her." He winked.

"Are you the reason she hasn't been in touch though? Did you guys go on a long romantic getaway or something?" She asked eagerly.

"You could say that. But enough about me telling you this, how about you wait here, and I'll tell Sango you're here. Just stay there." He said before he turned to walk up the staircase. She looked around the marble foyer before a familiar hum passed her ears. Looking back to the staircase, she was sure Sango's fiancée wouldn't mind her checking through the door. She inched closer to the open door, her shoes making a soft 'click' with her every step that seemed to echo in the hall. She came closer and looked into the door crack, to see a girl sitting upon a sofa, her fingers knitting away on something.

It couldn't be… She thought pushing open the door when the girl's eyes looked up, eyes that were very familiar on otherwise an unrecognizable body. The woman sitting before her was gorgeous beyond compare. Her skin was pale, as if untouched by the sun and perfect porcelain by how smooth it looked, covering her delicate limbs. She wore a beautiful lavender chiffon dress that hugged at her bodice nicely and flowed nicely down to her calves' wear her delicate feet were hidden inside heels. With her own body framed by long silky black hair. Kagome's mouth hung open, unable to say a thing when a smile broke across her face.

"Rin?" She whispered, smiling wider when the woman stood up. She dropped her knitting on the sofa and stood up gracefully.

"Kagome?" She choked, looking her up and down before gracefully coming over to the girl. The two laughed in each other's presence before embracing each other tightly, giggling all the way.

"It's been forever! What happened to you?" Kagome giggled, shaking her friend lightly.

"I…I moved here!" Rin stammered, diverting her eyes elsewhere, before her eyes widened. "But why are you here? Kagome, it's dangerous to be here! You need to go! You have to go before it gets dark!"

Rin clutched her arms almost too tightly than the appearance her delicate hands seemed capable of that Kagome almost flinched.

"Dangerous? What do you mean? You and Sango are here, and she invited me here! It's not fair that you two have been hanging out without me!" She pouted, though Rin's arms slacked as her face twisted into a pondering expression.

"She invited you…there's no way Sango would invite anyone here. Now anyways." She mumbled to herself before turning to Kagome with a small smile. "I suppose there is no harm in you staying, as long as you promise to leave by dark."

Kagome chuckled before walking over to the sofa.

"Okay, Rin, whatever you say." She chuckled looking around the room. "So are you a friend of this Sesshomaru too?"

She blushed, before moving back over to the sofa to sit down next to her friend.

"A bit more than a friend actually…I'm…I'm his…I mean…I'm his…wife!" She blurted out.

"His wife! What about the wedding? Has our friendship really faded that much?" Kagome asked, a hurt expression traced onto her face.

"Oh Kagome! No! Absolutely not! I missed you so much when I came to live here! You and Sango! But….well, you know of youkai right?" Kagome nodded at her when Rin, hesitantly lifted her hand to the collar of her dress and pulled aside the fabric beside the neck to show two punctures in her neck were overlapping a purple and gold crescent moon. "This is a mating mark, I mated to Sesshomaru, and so I'm like his wife."

"Really?! I can't wait to meet him, he must be very nice to have whisked our little Rin off her feet. If he's anything like Miroku, I'm sure he's-" Kagome was interrupted by a sudden slam of the door, she looked up to see a woman with dark brown hair pulled up in a high ponytail in the doorway, wearing a black pencil skirt and deep purple silk top, revealing her long legs that were again supported by heels. Kagome's eyes narrowed at that, knowing Sango would never wear heels. Looking the same other than her odd wardrobe. Her brown eyes widened from surprise as she walked into the room, perfectly balanced as she came over to Kagome.

"Kagome?" Her voice choking as much as Rin's, a hand placing over her mouth, before dropping back down to her side. "What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean what am I doing here? You invited me here!"

"Kagome…I don't want to be here…I would never…" She paused a moment before glancing to the doorway again. "That bastard…that fucking bastard…MIROKU! You did it again didn't you! You asshole! After all that you've put me through already?!"

"What is she talking about?!" Kagome asked glancing from Rin to Sango who was grunting in annoyance. "Will you guys tell me what is going on?" The two stiffened before Sango closed the door, locking it before looking over to Kagome.

"It's very dangerous to be here Kagome, after this, you can't ever come looking for us again. The two masters of this house…they like their privacy…they only approved of this meeting just because a certain someone arranged it."

"Then why are you two here?"

"Did Rin tell you…about what she is?" Kagome nodded, as Sango walked over and to a seat on the sofa across of them. "She is the mate of the great dog youkai Sesshomaru. We don't expect you to understand, but the laws and lives of youkai are very different than those of humans."

"How so? I mean, you guys are living here, and Sango, your fiancée looks like a human." Sango's eyebrows rose before her hand clenched on her lap.

"He…is not…my fiancée."

"Sango," Rin hissed shaking her head.

"He said he was…" Sango held up a finger, her eyes closed as she was trying to calm herself.

"Okay, first of all. Miroku is a youkai, his appearance just generally looks human, but he does have super human strength and speed along with his other youkai qualities. Second of all, he is not my fiancée, he HAS TO ASK!" She shouted, glaring to the door before turning back to her friends. "Unlike Rin, I'm not claimed as a mate yet."

"Claimed?"

"Yeah, it means I can't really interact with other men." Sango grumbled.

"That's pretty possessive." What has happened to these two? "Is that why you didn't want me to come here?"

"Yes, and that's why you can't come back. Just know that we're fine and please don't come back here, even if you're invited."

"But why? Surely if you are both…mated or even claimed…that they mind one of your old female friends coming to visit you?"

"It's not that part which we're worried about." Rin mumbled. "Miroku and Sesshomaru…they're one thing…they just don't like visitors to come unless they're wanted."

"Then what is the problem?"

"The third youkai…or should I say, hanyou that we are worried about he-" Rin paused when turning to the window. "The gate, they're back."

"What? The gate?" Kagome asked, looking to the window. How can she know the gate is opening?

"You have to go Kagome." Sango ushered, standing up to grab the girl by the arm.

"Why? What's going on?" Kagome stumbled along the way with Rin following after them.

"The two masters of the house are returning, you have to go."

"You never said why you were worried about the third."

"That doesn't matter Kagome!" Sango shouted, gripping her friend tightly, her eyes dilated. "Please, leave here and never come back. It's a sick twist of fate that Rin and I were dragged here and knew each other before, please do not be the third to join. Go and be happy…please!"

Dragged? Fate? What is going on?

"Sango…what's happened to you?" She whispered. Sango casted her eyes downward before opening the door for her friend.

"Kagome…please don't come back here." With a small shove, Kagome was pushed out the large door before it was closed in her face.

"Bye to you too." She grumbled, turning to walk down the path again. "I've never seen Sango look so afraid…and Rin...I hardly recognized her."

She paused a moment and looked back to the mansion for her hair to blow in the wind.

Has this place…changed them this much? The sound of wheels grinding against the pavement had her turn her head in time for a sedan to speed past her, blowing her hair aside from the fast speed it was going. A chill ran up her spine as if she was being watched from the tinted windows and watched as it immediately screeched to a halt.

"Is that Rin's husband… and the hanyou they were talking about?" No one stepped out of the car, but it stayed still that she just turned away, not caring of the business of whoever was in the car and continued to walk up to the gate.

Sango and Rin were sitting by a fire place in a large den, starring into the flames in complete silence.

"She's never going to want to talk to us again…is she?" Rin sniffed.

"Probably not…but it's not like we would ever be able to talk to her. It's probably for the best anyways…at least until he finds a mate of his own." There was another moment of silence again as Rin's eyes closed from the flames with a heavy sigh.

"Fate really is sick...if she was ever meant to come here."

So I'll leave it there, its time I probably edit some of my other stories and fix them up due to the rewatching of Inuyasha but please leave me a review. Tell me anything you would like to see in this story and I will see about adding it in. Also wish me luck on rewatching eight whole seasons of Inuyasha again, it is way harder than it sounds because well, watching all of those heartbreaking episodes again…watching those kids act like idiots for over 100 episodes…all while having cute touching moments….oh god what have I done?
