Chapter 1: Hold Me Tight

One beautiful morning, birds chirping loudly in a beautiful orchestra in Feudal Era Japan. But, some people were having a hard time waking up such as, Kira and Yuki. Yuki was an angel among mortals; her sweetness rivaled a sugar cube. Yuki was an elegant snake demoness who was very shy; she had pale skin that had bits of scales on them. She also had pure white hair with light green tips on them, but the most distinctive thing about her was her emerald eyes. She was 5ft'5 and in human years she looked about 17 yrs old. In her demon form she was a King…er Queen Cobra with snow white scales with a green underbelly.

But, unlike Yuki, Kira was the total opposite of her sister, the fox demoness was very rude and mean, but was very protective of her mother and sister. She had blood red hair with two fox ears poking out of the locks; she also had golden eyes that would peer into your soul. She also had two fox tails with white tips on them which gave her a cute look, but looks can be deceiving. In human years Kira would be around 19 years old and her height was 5ft'7. In her demon form she was a two-tailed kitsune with blood red fur and near the tails were two blue flames.

Their mother, Mitsue was a tiger demoness who was banished from her home only to find two baby girls and raise them as if they were her own. She was a very beautiful woman who loved to take care of her two adoptive daughters. She had tan skin with makings on her cheeks, writs, and stomach that resembled tiger stripes. She had long white hair with bits of black that reached the middle of her back; she also had cerulean eyes that looked as if someone poured the ocean into eye sockets. If she was a human, Mitsue would in her mid twenties and her height was around 5ft'8. In her demon form she is a White Siberian Tiger with ice blue eyes. She also adorned two cute tiger ears and a long beautiful tail.

“Come now darlings, wake up,” said Mitsue as nicely as she could. This was the third time she tried to wake up the two, but they wouldn't budge.

“GET UP NOW!!!!!”

“Yes Ma'am”, they said in unison knowing they're mother had a bad temper.

“Well now that were up, we have to start moving again in order to keep hidden”.

“But mom, why do we always have to run? We can handle some weak humans and there are nothing but low level demons out here, we can handle anything they dish out”, said Kira as she swung her katana in the air nearly cutting Mitsue's head off.

Mitsue grabbed the katana and said,” Kira please, I'm `running' because 1: I hate having to fight and 2: We have 6 jewel shards, what if we lost them in a battle, huh?” explained Mitsue.

“Mother's right Kira, let's just go,” said Yuki timidly as she gathered her things.

When they were ready to go, they walked through the forest until they walked into a very large flower field. The field held an abundance of different types of flowers in which butterflies fluttered to. “I think we can rest here for a bit,” said Mitsue as she plopped into the soft flowers that tickled her nose. `Achoo!!'

“Hahaha!!!!” laughed Kira and Yuki at their mother's silliness.

At this Mitsi pouted and said, “That's not funny”.

As they lay in the flowers the three started cloud watching together, looking at how the fluffy things made different shapes. “OOO!!!! I see a flower”, exclaimed Mitsue. “Well I see a boar demon about to eat that flower”, snickered Kira as she plucked the petals off of a poor flower. “Well I see another flower growing in its place”, whispered Yuki as she played with her hair. “Oh my Yuki!! You're always on my side”, sniffled Mitsi as she hugged her daughter tightly. “`sigh' Mom You're suffocating her”, said a bored Kira. Mitsue quickly released her daughter and they went back to cloud watching.

A few minutes went by and Mitsue noticed that both her daughters fell asleep in the flowers; she smiled lightly at them because it reminded her of when they were both so little. Suddenly, the wind shifted and Mitsue scented something, it was a male demon scent and it smelled like he was very strong. Letting curiosity get the best of her, Mitsi grabbed her sword and ran swiftly towards the scent. When she was a few meters away from the scent, she found herself looking at a tall regal looking dog demon, with hair as silver as the moon. His eyes were golden as the morning sun, but the most distinctive thing about him was the purple crescent moon on his forehead. For some reason, Mitsue found herself drooling as she stared at the man, noticing this she quickly wiped it away. And since fate was on her side, the wind shifted again so that her scent would flow towards the tall dog demon.

The dog gracefully grabbed his sword and ran swiftly towards her, and just as he was about to swing his blade she clashed her sword against his. “Why are you here tigress?” questioned the handsome man.

With a fury of swings against sword, Mitsue pushed the man against a very large tree which was the only one in the field.

“That's what I should be asking you,” she yelled as he finally pushed her off of him.

Panting heavily she sheathed her sword and said,

“I found this place first, for me and my daughters to relax.”

“Well young Rin was already here, I just came to get her.” Said the man as he pointed to the little human girl hiding in the flowers.

“Oh, I'm sorry I just got curious when I smelt you”, apologized Mitsue as she bowed. But she quickly blushed after she realized what she had just said, `Why did I just say that?'

“Do you know who I am tigress?” questioned the tall demon.

“Actually, I don't sorry,” said Mitsue sheepishly.

“Well, my name is Sesshoumaru; I am the ruler of the western lands.” Said Sesshoumaru as he bowed respectfully. `She is the only woman who ever went against my strength'

Mitsue blushed lightly and said,

“My name is Mitsue, sorry for the mistake.”

“No matter, you say you have daughters,” questioned the lord.

Mitsue nodded then he said, “Will you introduce them to Rin, she needs some new playmates.”

“Oh! Of course,” said Mitsue smiling brightly.

She then ran off to her daughters as top speed, worried about them.

_________________________________________________________________ ______

Mitsue ran back to her daughters as fast as she could, when she got there she was tackled to the ground by a crying Yuki.

“Mother, where were you? I thought you were taken away from us!!” cried Yuki.

“Well I'm alright darling; there is nothing to be afraid of.” Mitsue replied.

“Where did you go mom?” questioned Kira with a worried look on her face.

“Well I met a guy far-“, started Mitsue, but was cut off by Kira.

“What! Did he hurt you because if he did I swear I'll kick his A**”

Mitsue narrowed her eyes at her daughter and asked

“What did I say about that language young lady?”

“Not to do it, because that's not proper for one my age” mumbled Kira.

“Yes any way the guy I met was actually a demon lord named Sesshoumaru. He wanted me to bring you two so that his ward would have some play mates,” said Mitsue as she picked up Kira knowing she would say no.

After a brief struggle with Kira, she finally was able to convince her (Well she actually told Yuki to numb her with her poison) to meet the lord and his ward.

When they got there Sesshoumaru, Rin, A toad looking demon, and a two-headed dragon were under a large Sakura tree she had pinned him against. She also mentally blushed remembering how sexy he looked while they were fighting.

When Mitsue snapped out of her world she was face to face with the man she was thinking about. She and Yuki bowed respectfully, but Kira just said “whatever.” Mitsue was about to correct her, but Sesshoumaru chuckled and said,

“You remind me of my half-breed half-brother.”

Mitsue smiled and said,

“I have two brothers; they were the only ones who cared about me when I lived in the southern lands.”

“Well then we must talk, you seem to interest me greatly Mitsue-san” Sesshoumaru said as he kissed her hand lightly.

Both Mitsue and Yuki blushed at the gesture, but Kira frowned as she thumped her two tails on the ground.

“Now Rin, take Jaken and your two new friends and go play.”

“Yes Milord!!” exclaimed Rin as she grabbed Yuki and Kira's hand, and guided them through the field while Jaken grumbled behind them.

“Ah I remember those days, but they're long gone now,” Mitsue sighed.

Sesshoumaru and Mitsue sat down on a soft patch of grass and started to talk.

“So what is a Demon Lord doing walking around in the Forests?” questioned Mitsue.

Sesshoumaru sighed and said

“Well being in the palace is very stressful; I'd rather be out here than in there.”

Mitsue nodded and mumbled, “At least you have a home to go to”.

“What do mean by that?” questioned Sesshoumaru

Mitsue was saddened as she remembered her past and said, “I'd rather not talk about it”

She looked up and smiled to see Rin, Yuki, and Kira chasing Jaken.

“She looks so happy” said Mitsue as she watched Yuki play with the others. Noting that she was looking at the young snake demoness he said, “Well, little Rin can have that effect on people, even myself”.

Mitsue smiled lightly and said, “It's hard to believe that I found them 1000 years ago, small and helpless”.

“What happened to their parents?” questioned Sessy with a monotone voice. “Yuki's parents were killed by a woman, she looked human, but she stunk of evil. While Kira's parents were killed by an old man, and he too had the same stench” growled Mitsue.

Sesshoumaru noticed that her yoki was flaring wildly because of her hatred towards the murders. “I was an adolescent when I found them, Kira was still an Infant while Yuki was still in her egg, I knew nothing about childcare, but I managed along the way” said Mitsi as she calmed down.

“I think I know the real Identity of the old man and woman” said Sesshoumaru as he stood up to grabbed two peaches and offered one to Mitsue.

She said a small `thank you' and said, “What, you do!? Please Tell Me!!”

Sessy took a bite out of the peach in his hand and said, “His name is Naraku, he's filthy half breed that has done nothing but cause chaos in my lands, my Half-brother and his pack are searching for him”. Mitsue nodded and also took a bite out of the ripe peach.

They both sat quietly as they ate their peaches, then Mitsue look at Sessy and asked, “So, what's your brother like Sesshoumaru?”

Sesshoumaru sighed and said, “Inuyasha is a pigheaded half-breed mutt, who has no manners whatsoever, and yet I deeply care for him”.

Mitsi squinted her eyes at him and said, “You make it sound like you don't want to care for him”

Sessy looked at her from the corner of his eye and thought, `Why am I telling this woman about my personal life'. `Because you can trust her', explained his inner demon.

Sessy chuckled aloud which brought Mitsue's attention, “What's so funny”, she asked.

Sesshoumaru smirked at her and said, “Your face” At that Mitsi pouted as she noticed a piece of peach was on her cheek. She quickly wiped it off and said, “At least you get to see your ototou, my ankis have to sneak out the village to see me”. “We have the same father, but we have different mothers, she said as she fingered through her hair.

Sesshoumaru sighed and replied, “Same here, but the only difference is that his mother is ningen”. “Uh not quite, you see my mother is hanyou and my ankis mother is youkai”, she said as poked her two fingers together. He was about to reply, but saw Rin, Yuki, Kira, and Jaken running towards them. “Sesshoumaru-sama the big puppy and his friends are here!” squealed Rin as she jumped up and down excitedly.

Sesshoumaru raised one eyebrow and said, “Is he now, well then lets go see what he wants”.

(With the Inu-Gang)

“Kagome why are we going towards that bastard!?” yelled a big puppy. (A/N: Inuyasha cares for Sessy too, he's just putting on an act.)

“Were going towards him because I sense six jewel shards in his direction” replied a annoyed Kagome. Miroku scratched his head saying, “But, I thought he didn't need the jewel shards”.

“And you are right about that ningen,” said the dog-lord. Inuyasha growled at his older brother, but stopped when he saw a tiger demoness run up to Sesshoumaru saying, “Sesshoumaru how'd you walk so fast, I'm out of breath”. To acknowledge her, he merely tugged on her tiger ear and said, “It's not my fault you're slow”.

“Um, and you are?” asked Inuyasha rudely. Mitsue looked at him and tilted her head to the side and pointed to herself. Inu nodded and she said, “Oh, my name is Mitsue, I just met Sesshoumaru a few minutes ago and you are?”

Before he could say anything, Kagome yelled, “Inuyasha, she has the Jewel Shards!” Mitsue was surprised by what she said and thought, `This strange girl is a priestess, she sort of looks like Kikyo-chan without the frown'. Inuyasha pointed Tensaiga towards Mitsue asked, “Do you work for Naraku wench!?”

Mitsue growled low and replied with, “I would NEVER work for that SCUM!!”

Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in with lightning bolting down from them burning dozens of trees that had no chance. As they all look at Mitsue, they noticed something weird about her. Strange red markings appeared on her forehead, near her eyes, on her hands, feet, thighs, cheeks, tail. Then her sword suddenly changed into a lightning bow that came with a quiver full of lightning bolts. To everyone else she looked other-worldly, but to Kira and Yuki It was a normal phase. “M-Mother please calm down!”, yelled Yuki as she ran to her mother and hugged her as tight as she could. The transformed Mitsue looked down at Yuki's crying face, and felt a pang in her heart. Suddenly all the dark clouds went away, making it looked like nothing happened except for the burning trees. The red makings on Mitsue receded and she was back to normal, panting and using her sword as a crutch. “Mom are you ok?” asked a worried Kira. `It's getting worse', thought Kira with a frown on her face. Mitsue took a couple of deep breaths before she stood up with a smile on her face saying, “Of course I am Kira-chan”.

`She's lying', growled out Kira and Yuki in their heads.

As Mitsue composed herself, she looked at Sessy (Who was awestruck on the inside) and asked, “Lord Sesshoumaru, who are these people?”

“The half-breed is my ignorant little brother, and the rest of them are his pack”, he said emotionlessly. Mitsue's whole expression changed as she ran to Inuyasha hugging him tightly. “So you're the Inuyasha I've heard so much about, you're so adorable!!” said Mitsue as she scratched behind his ears. Sesshoumaru frowned and said, “Why are you touching that filth, you could catch something”.

Inu raised his eyebrow in confusion and thought, `Is Anki… JEALOUS!!' But he just dismissed it as him being a bastard.

Kira walked up to the shard hunters and reluctantly bowed saying, “Please excuse my mother, when angered she tends to `change' a bit”. All of a sudden, an `eep' was heard, when they looked to see who it came from they saw Miroku holding Yuki's hand and the other one was stroking her butt. “Well hello, what's your name?” asked the lecherous monk. Sango's eyes narrowed at him as she picked up her large weapon, but was beaten by a growling tiger demoness who was holding her sword `Chidori' to the monk's neck.

“You disgraceful Monk; how dare you touch my daughter, I should kill you now”, growled Mitsue as she pressed Chidori even further on his neck. Miroku swallowed hard and said, “But Milady my hand is cursed so I can't control it, it just tends to `wander'”.

Mitsue's anger was replaced with confusion and said, “Milady? I'm not royalty”. “Oh! I just assumed that you and Lord Sesshoumaru were a coupling “. Mitsue blushed at the thought of Sessy being her husband, while Kira and Inuyasha both laughed and said together, “Those two? A couple, please! They're total opposites”. “Well, in my time there's an old saying that `opposites attract'”, said Kagome as she dusted her clothes off.

Inuyasha growled loudly and pointed Tensaiga at Mitsue (again) yelling, “Alright! Let's get back to the task at hand, where did you find those jewel shards!?”.
