Sesshomaru sat next his father as just another pointless demon clan came and presented a female for him to marry. It was some kind of coyote or fox? He wasn't really paying attention; he already made his decision the second she had come in. She was lanky and her hair reminded him of dead straw. His lack of interest was clear to his father, who was quick to thank them for their long travel to see them and would be in contact with them hopefully soon.

"Son, that is the eight female you have turned your nose to." Inu no Taisho didn't look it but he was getting old in his years and didn't want to go to the border between the worlds without his legacy being assured in grandchildren.

"That is because none of them are what this Sesshomaru desires." Sesshomaru was very good at showing his distaste when he called to himself in third person.

"Well how would you go about finding a suitable mate? We don't have long before the cold winter hits our mountains and travel will be hard for out guests."

"Are you saying you will leave it to me father?" Clearly this pleased the young lord since he had referred to himself in first person. Inu no Taisho was one of the few who knew his son's strange quirks and behaviors that showed is almost nonexistent emotions in certain situations.

"If that will speed up the process? Yes. Yes I will let you find your mate my son." Sesshomaru gave a respectful bow to his father before rising and walking out the long entryway. "Where are you going Sesshomaru?"

"Do you have to ask father? I am going to find my mate." Sesshomaru didn't bother to look back as he proceeded to leave the large castle, transforming into his demonic form in the process and flying off to one who he believed would have his answers.

It had taken at least the full day and half the night for Sesshomaru to travel from the frosted mountains to the murky swamps. As he descended he looked to the filthy water with disdain but transformed back to his mortal looking form none the less. The water made its way no further than his ankles as he trudge through it to the center of the marsh. He didn't hesitate his stride when he saw the water before him start to bubble and froth. From the water rose what appeared to be a very old bald man that appeared mortal, but once his rather large ears and the inability to lift his eyelid from his eyes gave way that he was clearly a demon.

"My my the great Sesshomaru has come to see this old man? I am honored." The voice of the old man was wheezy and creaked like a crickets call.

"Mimisenri. It is told that you hear anything and everything you can focus your mind on."

"That is correct my young lord. I hear that you are meant to be wed soon, but the bride for your nuptials has yet to be found."

"Then you can assume that you know why this Sesshomaru is here. You are to find this bride of mine. I am certain you can tell out rumors from facts when finding a beautiful and fitting demoness that will keep the blood of my people as pure as possible. If what you find is truth I can assure you that you will be rewarded. However if you don't do this or lead me with falsehoods this Sesshomaru will not hesitate to end your long life."

"Hehehe. I do not doubt that my liege. Rest assured I will find what you seek." With a deep wheeze the old demon focused his ears and Sesshomaru waited patiently for Mimisenri to finish his search. When the old demon released an interested "hmmm" or "ahh" Sesshomaru would have to resist snapping at the foolish demon and clenched his jaw.

"Now that is interesting." Mimisenri finally said, a peculiar smile on his face.

"And what is that exactly?" Sesshomaru did not hesitate to show is annoyance in his tone with the marsh dwelling demon.

"Well it seems you already are betrothed to a female demon. One that shares your clan blood. A hanyou your father gifted you with-"

"Do not test this Sesshomaru with old news. That hanyou died fifteen years ago."

"That is not what my ears hear." This fact made Sesshomaru become quite intrigued and attentive. Perhaps this old demon wasn't such a fool like his father's minions were.

"What is it you hear, old Mimisenri?"

"It is very faint... but I hear her laughter. I hear others call her by a name that is not hers. I hear strange noises I have not heard before. Metals and magic it seems."

"And where does this Sesshomaru find the source of this?"

"It is from beyond the well. The Bone Eaters Well. The one that transcends time and takes things from one world to another."

"Then this Sesshomaru will find a way beyond the well." Without so much as a nod or bow, the young demon lord turned to make his leave.

"There is something you should know young lord. The name of which they call your bride Inuyasha."

"And that name would be?"

"Tenshi! Inutenshi wake up or you'll be late!" Mama Higurashi called up the stairs to her daughter. "Honestly that girl stays up way too late."

"Now now dear she stays up because she focuses so hard on her studies. I remember when you yourself would be found asleep at your desk." Old man Higurashi chuckled at his daughter as he swept the entryway of the home.

"On my way Mama!" Inutenshi, Tenshi for short and what everyone thought outside of the small family her name really was, called down to her mother as she brushed her hair for the hundredth time that morning. It always made her friends envious that no matter how many times she let her hair air dry overnight, it was still the silky thick and smooth waves it always was. And her color was unbelievable; a pearl white that no one could believe was her birth color. "Time to put you two away!" she said up at her ears, glaring at them in the mirror with her honey gold eyes. She had always had her ears hidden by a thick bandanna, which really was four bandannas sewn together by her mother for extra coverage. When she was young she always wondered why it was she needed to hide her ears, until one day a boy picking on her pulled her headpiece off and when her ears perked up from being released from the fabric he ran away screaming monster. Ever since then she hated her ears, though her mother always said they made her special and her grandpa said they were symbols of her "Celestial origin". Wrapping the folded bandanna twice over before cinching it in a tight not at the top and adding few bobby pins to keep it sturdily on top of her folded down ears. 'Why can't I look the way I do during a new moon all the time?' she thought, but shook the negative thoughts out of her head. She was Inutenshi; girl's kendo club captain and karaoke star! Giving herself a confident smile and a mimic of her American poster of "Rosie the Riveter", she grabbed her school bag and rand down the stairs, stopping to snag a piece of toast out of her mother's hands before giving her a kiss on the cheek and a farewell.

"Bye grandpa! don't work too hard!" she called as she kicked on her shoes.

"A priests work is never done my dear. Don't stay so long after school. I have been reading a few scrolls on ancient magics and think I have found a way to hid your celestial image!"

"So long as it isn't like the mermaid spell when I was eight and you tried to have me walk around with a fish head around my neck gramps." she chuckled as she rand down the steps of the large temple, where as expected her friends were waiting for her.

"Morning Eri, Ayumi, Yuka."

"Morning Tenshi." The three said in unison. The four girls walked the long way to the train station that would take them to school, gossiping and laughing and going over school notes as they always did. Little did the secret hanyou know that her whole life would be torn from her that chilly aki night, which she never would have paid attention to know it would be the night of a hunter's moon.
