"Wake up, Inu Yasha."
Inu Yasha sat up and yawned. The couch really was comfortable. It would be
perfect like everything else that Sesshomoru did...jerk. He was not a lunatic.
"I'm up." He stretched then shifted the subject. "So have you found
someone to govern as you would, yet?" he asked doing an imitation of
Sesshomoru.
A look of amused annoyance passed over Sesshomoru's features for a nanosecond.
"I am still searching for someone suitable, yes. This is a new a business
venture, I will oversee it personally until someone is found." Sesshomoru
looked down at his watch. "Don't you have a previous engagement, Inu
Yasha?"
The smug look that Inu Yasha had been wearing flew from his face as he realized
that he was suppose to meet Kagome and Ryoko for lunch. "She's going to
kill me," he muttered under his breath as he stood to his feet.
Sesshomoru shook his head. "I do not understand why you let a female control
you and a human one at that."
"Kagome doesn't control me," Inu Yasha snapped. "I just don't
want to disappoint, Ryoko, it's not everyday that we eat lunch together. She loves
going to park..."
"Spare me the domestic details of your life," Sesshomoru interrupted.
“Other than carrying on my bloodline and the occasional tryst, females serve no
purpose to me with the added exception of employment.”
Inu Yasha shook his head. “No woman in her right mind would
mate with you in anyway.” He placed a baseball cap gingerly on his head.
“There is always that possibility,” he replied simply. “I
will see you tonight, if you are still alive.”
“Whatever.” Inu Yasha left the club and sighed he needed to
hurry or he would be in the fabled doghouse.

“There is definitely a
strong demonic presence here,” Rin observed as she strolled through the
park. This was her first day in town an already she was hot on the trail of the
demon lord. Upon arriving in the vicinity of the city, she felt many auras but
only a few of them seemed strong enough to be upper level demons. Pater was
wise in suggesting that she go under cover there was no way she could handle so
many powerful demons. The collective demon hunter clan would have to be unified
to handle this problem. She would follow his instructions to the letter; she
only wished she had more information. Nothing was really known about this demon
lord, but he clearly powerful. That much could be felt, there were two strong
auras, but one of them was clearly stronger and she was to get as close as possible
to it.
“First, I need to hit
the hot spots to see…” her thoughts trailed. A demon aura and a holy aura
were coming towards her. “Exorcism?” she wondered aloud as she looked around.
Perhaps she could be of assistance. Without thinking she ran towards the direction
of aura, trying to be as nonchalant as possible. “It’s close.”
“Excuse me, do you have the time?” A gentle voice asked.
Rin turned around and saw smiling, dark haired woman with a
stroller. The woman had kind eyes. For a second instantaneous warmth filled
Rin’s heart, when she felt it. “Abomination.
Her child is a demon.”
“Are you okay?” the woman asked. She took a step forward and
put her hand to the Rin’s forehead. Rin stepped back quickly as though the
woman’s touch would contaminate her. “I am not going to hurt you, but you do
look pale. Are you new to Tokyo?”
Rin nodded her head. “I just got in today.”
“Oh, welcome to Tokyo.
My name is Kagome Tensaiga and this is my daughter Ryoko.” She motioned to the
small child dozing lightly. Rin peered into the stroller from a distance. Tufts
of black hair stuck out from underneath a little knit cap and little eyes
opened to reveal bright violet orbs. The baby was beautiful and for a second
won Rin over until she reminded herself that the child was a living reminder of
everything she had been fighting against. “Ooh she likes you. She usually
pretends to be asleep whenever I take her somewhere she doesn’t like, she takes
after her father.” She added the last part lowly though she was proud of both
her mate and her child. “Would you like to hold her?”
Rin shook her head violently. No matter how cute the child
looked, it was a demon and it deserved to die. There was no point in getting
close to either of them. “I am no good with children.”
Kagome laughed at Rin’s discomfort mistaking it for
nervousness as she picked up Ryoko. “Don’t worry; she’s just like a human baby
just a little stronger.”
“So she knows I know.
She’s more astute then I gave her credit for.” Rin shook her head again.
“No, I…”
Kagome smiled and handed Ryoko to Rin. A look of shock
fluttered across Rin’s face. She was holding a demon child. Up until now, she
was barely aware that they started out as children and now she was holding one.
It was snuggling in her arms and no trying to kill her. “Focus, Rin! This is a trick. Obviously this miko is being controlled,
the only things she’s good for now is a tool to get to the demon lord.”
“See, she does like you,” Kagome smiled.
“Rin. My name is Rin,” the demon hunter said lowly as she
stared at the small child in her arms staring back at her in fascination. She
was melting…for now. She did have to keep up appearances.
Kagome looked up quickly then smiled to Rin. “I’ll be right
back.” She hurried off towards a silver-haired man stalking towards them.
Rin looked shocked for a moment. The woman was actually
going to leave her baby in the hands of a stranger? Rin shook her head then
stared into violet orbs. “You maybe cute but you’re still an abomination. I’ll
have to keep an eye on you.” She stroked the baby’s chin almost affectionately
then smiled as Ryoko giggled causing Rin to sigh. Already she was being broken
by the weakest of demons, the cuteness of a child. Having never encountered any
actual demon children, she never figured she would show any type of weakness
that would be a problem when the time came.
“Rin, this is my mate Inu Yasha,” Kagome greeted. Rin merely
nodded towards him. His demon aura was quite strong.
“Hmm,” Inu Yasha grunted. His amber eyes narrowed. He did
not like this at all. He did not want this woman anywhere near Kagome or Ryoko.
There was something about her that stirred his defenses and Kagome could tell
as well otherwise she would not have tried to cut him off at the pass. And what
was that woman doing hold his pup. “You have something of mine.”
Rin immediately handed Ryoko to him. She tried not to narrow
her eyes in disgust. A demon and a human in unholy matrimony with a mix breed
child…. all the cuteness in the world would not change the fact that this would
not continue. Pater would agree with her that. The very thought of taking up
with a demon brought about a sour taste in her mouth. Who knew what his true
form was! Sure, he may stand in front of her looking handsome but it could be a
whole other ball game once a battle began.
It was time to break the ice. “So, Rin, where are you
staying in Tokyo?”
Kagome asked.
“The plaza hotel for now until I can find a job and then
more suitable arrangements,” she answered.
“We know someone looking for help. Who knows, you might work
out.” Kagome reached into her pocket and pulled out a card. “Stop by right
before opening.”
Rin took the card never taking her eyes off Inu Yasha then
glanced at it. “Thank you.”
“Well we have to be going now, come on, Inu Yasha.” Kagome took
Ryoko from him and laid her in the stroller before dragging him away. Never
once did he take his eyes off of Rin.
“Rude too, but what can I expect from a demon,” Rin
commented to herself then turned in the opposite direction. Part of her was
worried. This was an obvious trap; Kagome knew that she was knowledgeable about
demons. Most people often ignored their existence, even though they were amongst
them attempting to pass themselves as human. They were the causes of some the
most vile crimes in the city. Her family had been killed by them and she would
have died too, if not for Pater. “Trap or not this will be night that will not
be forgotten.”
To Be Continued…
