Lord Sesshōmaru, Demon Lord of the Western Lands, walked slowly through the forest, as he walked he looked around cataloging the many tree's around him. It had been many years since he had come to this region yet nothing seemed to have changed.

He walked toward Old Lady Kaede's house, passed the sacred tree and thinking of his little brother and his 'wife'. Sesshomaru's lip curled in disgust when he remembered the casual way that woman had called him 'brother-in-law", apparently his minion Jaken was thinking along the same lines.

"Lord Sesshomaru, isn't this the sacred tree that Inuyasha was pinned to several years ago?" When Sesshomaru didn't answer he lapsed back into silence, his green face pulled into a slight frown.

Arriving at the home of the priestess he knocked lightly on door and waited for the old woman to answer the door. When she opened the door he had to fight to hold back his grimace when he saw his younger brother and his wife behind her.

"Sesshomaru!" He half-blood brother exclaimed, jumping to his feet, and stepping in front of his human wife. "What do you want?"

"Inuyasha, isn't it obvious? He's here to see Rin" The woman, no his WIFE, said gently placing her hand on his arm as she stood to address Sesshomaru. "We tried to contact you, but we really had no idea where you had gone."

"Woman!" Jaken said, speaking up before Sesshomaru could say anything, "Contact us for what?"

"Well...uh...you see..." Kagome stuttered out.

"Where is Rin?" Sesshomaru asked quietly, sick of the woman's rambling.

"She got married. About 14 months ago, they live in this village." Kagome said, slightly scared despite herself.

"Married?" Sesshomaru murmured, trying to make sense of the weird feeling inside of his chest. "To who?" He said, turning his cold yellow eyes to her.

"Kohaku." Inuyasha answered when Kagome just sat there. "They seem to be really happy and if your here to ruin that, then I can't let you go any farther."

"You jump to conclusions as usual little brother." Sesshomaru said turning and walking out into the setting sun, thinking deeply. Rin, married? It had been almost 7 years since he had visited her. Doing the math he realized with shock that she would now be 19, and that it made perfect sense that she would be married. Sesshomaru was deeply in though when a sent reached his nose that he would know anywhere.

"Rin!" Sesshomaru raised his head looking around for her. His eyes skimmed over the few random villagers who were out until his eyes locked on a young woman with long brown hair. He approached her carefully, unsure of how he actually felt to be seeing her again. Sensing something behind her the young woman turned meeting Sesshomaru's cold yellow eyes with her light brown ones.

A large smile broke over the woman's face "Lord Sesshomaru!" She exclaimed in delight, running toward him "It's been so long my lord! Where have you been?" She looked into his face as he remained silent, uncertain of what to say. Then a young man he recognized came out

"Rin who's here?" He asked, his voice deeper than the last time Sesshomaru had heard it. Sesshomaru also noted his arms looked more tone, his shoulders and chest broader, a slight stubble on his chest.

"Kohaku, my dear, it's Lord Sesshomaru! I told you he would come back for me!." Rin walked over to her "husband", Sesshomaru's mind shuttered at the term, and wrapped her arm around his waist.

Turning back to Sesshomaru she said "My lord I got married!" She exclaimed, sounding exactly like the little girl he remembered. "And I have someone I want you to meet" She said turning toward the house and cooed "Come out here baby."

Sesshomaru stared blankly at her until a young girl about one and a half teetered out of the door and into Rin's waiting arms. Rin turned the little girl to Sesshomaru and said "My lord this is my daughter."

He stared in surprise, not only was Rin married but she had a child, this information came as a shock but what was even more surprise was the Sesshomaru had no idea how he truly felt about this.


So yeah, that's chapter one. Let me know what you think! I promise more will happen, this was just setting things up.
