Sum: Sesshomaru and Inuyasha cross paths when they pick up Naraku's scent. Instead of killing each other, they gain an understanding of the other. But what will Inuyasha and his team learn about the strong, emotionless dog demon? And what will Sesshomaru learn about the bother he supposedly hates?
Author's Note: This just came to me, so I'm writing it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, even though I wish for it to be mine.
Chapter 1: Same Path, Different Goals
Sesshomaru walked along the tree-lined trail and stopped, sniffing the air. It had been days since he started following Naraku's scent, but he had yet to find him. His scent went in circles, and it was starting to get him mad. Sesshomaru looked behind him, at Rin, she was asleep. It was midnight, after all, he didn't blame her. Human females seemed to need a lot of sleep when young. It was that or it was just Rin. Jaken looked at Sesshomaru and asked
"Why did you stop M'Lord?"
Sesshomaru didn't look at him as he said
"We'll stop here, and rest."
Jaken nodded and went to prepare a fire, leaving Sesshomaru with Rin. If he was anyone else he would sigh and roll his eye's at this. A human girl trusted him, a great demon lord, to protect her. It was funny but true. As Sesshomaru thought about this, he had no idea what demon possessed him to do it, but he picked up Rin with his one arm and gently laid her on the ground under a tree. He was frustrated with himself as Rin woke up, right when he stood up to go to Aun, (Hope I spelled that right!).
"Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked him with a sleepy tone of voice.
Again, had he been anyone else, he would have sighed or flinched at being caught. But he was not, so he just stood there, his back facing her as he said.
"Yes, Rin?"
He heard her yawn before she said
"Can you stay?"
'Stay? What does she mean by stay? Where does she think I'm going?' Sesshomaru thought as he watched Jaken stumble through a bush with firewood.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I got the wood!" he pronounced proudly.
It was then, when Jaken showed him the wood, that it clicked in his mind on what Rin meant. She meant 'stay', as in sleep next to her. At first, he was appalled at the thought, but then as a cold breeze came through and ruffled through his long silver hair, did he realize it was for the best. Not only for her but for Jaken as well, as he too, shivered with Rin. Funny, he didn't feel the cold.
"Very well, Rin." Sesshomaru said as he turned and walked over to her.
He sat down and leaned back against the tree, his left knee propped up, while his right leg was straight and relaxed. Rin snuggled up next to him, and Jaken gasped as he watched Sesshoumaru do nothing about it.
"Jaken, if you intend to freeze to death, then be my guest. But if you don't, then I suggest you sit next to Rin." Sesshomaru said in his emotionless voice.
Shocked, Jaken said, "Yes... My Lord."
He ran over and sat down next to Rin, who pulled him closer to her. Sesshomaru ignored Jaken screaming for help, as he wrapped the both of them in his fur.
(Fur something, not sure. I want to say scarf, but...)
And pulled the both of them closer to him, so they would be warmer. Rin sighed in content as she snuggled between the two demons. Jaken was already asleep, while Sesshomaru was watching the stars.
Keeping watch.
He felt someone gently tug on his sleeve, and he looked down. Rin smiled up at him and whispered.
"Goodnight Lord Sesshomaru."
"Night Rin," he said in return before going back to watching the stars.
His thought drifted off to how old Rin would be in a few days.
14.
Oh, how he hated when that time would come. Human males would start coming after her, and then he'll have a problem with not a half-demon, who he was going to kill, but humans who wanted his Rin.
Oh, joy.
He pictured Naraku rolling on the floor laughing, and it made his demon blood boil with anger. He will NOT let that happen.
Not on his watch.
With Inuyasha...
Inuyasha growled as he sniffed the cold wind.
"What do you smell Inuyasha?" Miroku asked him.
"Wolf..." Inuyasha growled as he pulled out the Tenseiga.
Koga appeared and yelled in panic as he dodged the Tenseiga.
"Watch it dog breath, it's me!" Koga yelled at Inuyasha.
But Sango and Miroku sighed and said at the same time.
"That's why he's attacking you, Koga..."
"SIT!" Kagome yelled as Inuyasha tried to attack Koga again.
She then turned to Koga and said tiredly.
"I'm not in the mood Koga. Come back tomorrow."
"What? But Kagome-"
"GO," Kagome said before helping Inuyasha up.
She had been forced to have a tried day thanks to Naraku sending weak demons after them all day. She didn't blame Inuyasha for trying to kill or scare Koga away before he reached her. Koga would have tried to wear her out even more. Koga growled and yelled loudly, so it echoed in the forest...
(Don't wake up Sesshomaru!)
"I WILL NOT KAGOME!"
=)********=)
"I WILL NOT KAGOME!"
Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken all looked in that direction. Sesshomaru has sensed the wolf demon Koga and Inuyasha's group, but he had hoped to avoid them.
"Can't they keep it quite?!" Jaken grumbled as he tried to go back to sleep.
Sesshomaru, however, had other plans. He took off his fur scarf and wrapped it around Rin and Jaken.
"Stay." was all he said as he got up and walked in his brother's direction.
Koga growled as he walked up next to Kagome and yelled
"I will not leave you! You are coming with me tonight!"
"NO-" Kagome and Inuyasha started but then, Koga was gone.
And instead, they heard.
Growling?
"I will not stand for this loudness wolf. Keep it down, and I will spare you."
Sesshomaru?
Miroku and Sango stood up and walked in front of Inuyasha protectively, as they watched Sesshomaru at the edge of the clearing. He had glowing golden eye's that portrayed boredom.
"Sesshomaru, what are you doing here?" Sango asked him.
Sesshomaru ignored her as Koga got up from the tree and yelled.
"This is none of your business Sesshomaru!"
"True." Sesshomaru acknowledged. "But you are keeping Jaken and Rin awake. Which means I will not sleep."
"Oh, is that it?" Koga asked as he thought it over. "Why do you let that girl travel with you anyway?"
"Koga!"
"WAIT UP, KOGA!"
Ginta and Hakkaku yelled as they caught up to Koga. They fell on their knees but smelled Sesshomaru. THey screamed and started shoving Koga away from him.
"Koga, forget about Kagome tonight," Hakkaku said as he tugged Koga away from Sesshomaru.
"Yeah, we'll get her tomorrow," Ginta said.
Koga growled and jumped away from them.
"I will NOT-"
But Sesshomaru cut him off by jumping in front of him and grabbing his throat. He then threw him up and into the sky, so he had the advantage. He then flew up to meet the wolf demon and used his poison whip to threw him far away from the groups down below. Ginta and Hakkaku ran after him screaming.
"KOGAAA!"
Sesshomaru landed and looked at Inuyasha.
Who had the evilest smile on his face.
"So, the great demon lord does get mad." Inuyasha said as he walked over to him.
Sesshomaru said nothing as he turned and walked away. But before he disappeared from their sight, he said.
"Keep it down."
