Author's Note: For a short time, Sesshomaru will be talking to his "inner beast". The way to tell the difference between these two will be as such:
Sesshomaru's thoughts
Sesshomaru's beast
I also want to say that I am so happy that this story is doing well for only two chapters. I heard from a comment that I have some tense problems and I plan on getting on this, but not until after a few more chapters are up!
I promise!
Chapter Three: The Western Lord's Visit
Had it not been for the two pleasantly familiar scents to reach the sensitive nose of the Western Lord, he would have turned away from the disgusting air that dominated over the one he had been forcibly sent out to retrieve. It was required that a Youkai Lord give protection to the one who is summoned by the Youkai Court and since Lord Sesshomaru happened to have been familiar with his half-brother's miko, he was honor bound to obey the other Youkai Lords.
The miko however, intrigued Lord Sesshomaru.
Many a time, the human woman stood up to him with her bow and arrow, defending the useless hanyou. That first time he had saw her, standing behind his half-brother only to have her nearly die by his own claws no more than moments later in their father's tomb, Lord Sesshomaru was beyond furious at how this ningen dare defy him. And yet, though the Western Lord dare not ever utter the words aloud, he respected that miko. It was she, his enemy, who saved his ward on countless occasions such as the time with So'unga and Takemaru.
Lord Sesshomaru began to respect the miko even more when they last faced Naraku. He had found her injured by the hanyou, yet denied his stupid half-brother of really causing her harm. Even then, she was strong. Was that the reason he was drawn to saving her? He had done so on countless occasions but could find no reason after doing so.
"Tell me Sesshomaru, do you have someone to protect?"
Those words haunted the Western Lord. How he despised Inuyasha, Izayoi, and his father for such weaknesses.
What of our pup? The beast cried out from inside of him. Sesshomaru sighed somewhat at the question. Yes, Rin was an entirely different matter. By placing the human child within the elder miko's care, Sesshomaru thought he would perhaps move on and forget the ningen. Unfortunately, by the time he had returned to the Western Lands, his beast was in a bit of an uproar, demanding for the safe return of his pup.
Pup? Surely not this human child? Sesshomaru questioned himself and his beast.
Our PUP! The beast growled at him and for some reason, the Western Lord felt no need to argue with his beast as he neared the village of where the miko was.
He assumed that his half-brother would be aware of his presence from the distance he now stood, and stopped in his tracks to wait for them to leave the hut. There was no need to go any further into this disgusting human village.
His assumptions had been correct as he watched his angered half-brother storm out of one of the larger huts of the village, Tessaiga in hand, ready to battle once again. The hanyou was unable to even make any threats to the Western Lord when he watched Inuyasha plummet into the ground, creating a rather large crater for himself.
"Sesshomaru-sama," called out the voice his young ward. Taking only some steps forward into the light, his left leg was impounded by a somewhat small body; but seeing as how that leg was use to the abuse, he rather welcomed it and patted the head of Rin.
"Rin, this Sesshomaru trusts you have been well?" he questioned as always.
"Yes, my lord! Kagome-san has been working really hard with Ri-I mean me since Kaeda-sensei has taken ill," Rin responded with a bit of sadness in her voice.
"Taken ill?" Sesshomaru asked.
"She is old," Kagome replied for Rin as she neared the two of them; happily stepping on Inuyasha's back along the way. Sesshomaru looked up from his ward and saw that the three of them were the only ones to have left the large hut, which very much pleased him. "It is nearing her time."
Sesshomaru nodded his head in understanding. "Then this Sesshomaru shall be retrieving his ward as well as you miko for this tale. Until you're return, Rin will be with this Sesshomaru."
"Another journey, my lord?" Rin questioned happily and with a nod of his head, she smiled. "What of Shippo?"
"What of the kitsune?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Feh, the kit is Kagome's pup if you haven't figured that out by now," Inuyasha stated as the spell finally warn off and joined up with them. "So what's with the summons?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you half-breed," Sesshomaru sneered before turning to the miko. "However, this Sesshomaru feels that there is some odd behavior behind this Court gathering." He turned as if to leave. "Miko, if you wish to retrieve your kit then do so now and meet this Sesshomaru at the Bone Eater's well. Come Rin."
"Hey Sesshomaru, I hope you know that I'm coming too!" Inuyasha yelled.
"You are to stay here, little brother," Sesshomaru commanded. "The orders from the Youkai Lords are that the miko is to appear, not her mate."
"We're not mates yet," Kagome blushed and Inuyasha did as well. She turned to Inuyasha. "Don't worry, I'll be back. Sesshomaru won't hurt me. He's just here to make sure I make it to this summons and when it's over, I'll come home." She kissed the side of his cheek. "I'll be back soon."
Growling, Inuyasha pulled Kagome to him and breathed in her scent one last time, as if he would never see her again. Looking over her shoulder, he saw his bastard brother looking at him in the eye.
"Protect her, or your ass is mine," he threatened and lead Kagome back to the village to retrieve Shippo.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at the two retreating forms; something odd happened with both his heart and beast in that one moment. "Ridiculous."
"Tell me Sesshomaru, do you have someone to protect?"
