Mesami and Rin decided to play a little before Rin had to go to bed. Rin showed Mesami to the gardens to play tag.

"O.K, I'll play for a little bit, but then you have to go to bed, o.k. Rin-chan?" Mesami told Rin.

"O.K, Mesami-chan. Rin wants to play tag, can we?" Rin asked enthusiastically.

Mesami laughed and nodded. Rin ran and yelled back, "You're it!" Mesami laughed again and ran after her. Mesami decided not to use her demon speed, but she still caught up easily. They had played for half an hour when a servant came out to take Rin to bed.

While they were playing, Mesami had heard running water, so, true to her neko blood, her curiosity consumed her. She followed the sound of it to a path covered by vines and flowers so it was only visible if you were looking carefully. Mesami stepped carefully onto the path and pushed away bushes, branches, and flowers in her way. She finally arrived in a clearing surrounded by flowering bushes and trees. All of the plants were in full-bloom and in the middle of the clearing was a small, trickling stream. Instead of grass there was a carpet of flowers. Sakura and Touya flowers were falling and blowing in the wind (imagine one of those romantic/sad-romantic scenes in anime where flowers are blowing around).

It was sunset and the last rays of sunlight were reflected in the stream, making it turn orange and pink and all the other colors of the sunset. Mesami sat next to the stream and watched the sun set. She stayed after it set as the fireflies came out and flew around her. Mesami loved the night, especially when the fireflies were out. She gazed up as the moon and stars became visible. There was a cresent moon that reminded her of so many things. Her past, her future, her family.

Mesami lay down and put her hands beneath her head, to make it easier to see the stars.

Then there was a rustling in the bushes. Mesami's ears perked up and she said, "It's alright Kage, you can come out. Where's Shao-chan?"

A large, male wolf came out. It was much bigger than a normal wolf. The wolf, Kage, was jet black and instead of normal yellow or brown eyes, Kage had piercing green eyes.

Kage made a few sounds and turned his head. Mesami did the same. All of the sudden a little black fur-ball attached itself to Mesami's neck.

"Mommy, are you ok? You smell good! What are you doing here? Where did you get that kimono? Please tell me Mommy!" The black fur-ball known as Shao-Lang, or Shao-chan, pleaded. Mesami smiled softly at him. Shao-Lang had black hair and green eyes, the same shade as Kage's. He had a black fox-like tail (like Shippo's, just black) and pointed ears. Shao-Lang was half ookami youkai and half kitsune youkai.

"Yes, thank you, I'm not sure, and the place I'll be staying at for a while."

Mesami asked them to meet her there every night until she said. Then she sat by the stream again with Shao-Lang in her lap and Kage behind her. Mesami leaned against Kage and gazed up at the stars again. That was how they fell asleep, together, gazing at the stars.

Mesami was awakened by Shao-chan shaking her and Kage nudging and licking her.

"Mommy someone is coming."

Mesami sniffed the air. Sesshomaru's scent was approaching. Mesami's eyes widened.

"Go! Hide your scents and go!" she hissed quietly.

Shao-chan nodded and ran off with Kage, using a simple spell to hide their scents. A few moments later Sesshomaru stepped into the clearing. Mesami was lying by the creek pretending to be asleep.

//: Sesshomaru's P.O.V: \\

The woman, Mesami, is asleep by the stream in this clearing. It's a bit annoying that I did not know this clearing was here. The woman actually looks quite beautiful surrounded by all those flowers. The light those fireflies throw on her just increases her beauty. Too bad she's already been promised to someone.

Humph. What am I thinking? I don't need a mate now. All those foolish women do is act like ditzes and cake face paint on.

*This one is different. She's beautiful, mysterious, and brave. She likes Rin. She would make a good mate and mother. *

Shut up. I'm not dying any time soon so I don't need an heir or a mate yet.

*Is that all you think about? You know there's more to this. *

No there is not. Now shut up.

*Ok, but you know I'm telling the truth. I am you. *

//: End P.O.V.: \\

Sesshomaru walked over to Mesami's sleeping form. In the time Sesshomaru had been arguing with himself, she had fallen asleep for real.

"Wake up." Sesshomaru said aloud.

Mesami just mumbled something and turned so her back was to Sesshomaru. If Sesshomaru's "ice mask" had fallen his eyebrow would have twitched.

Sesshomaru repeated his demand louder. Mesami slept on. Sesshomaru sighed inwardly and picked Mesami up with the help of his tail. Mesami sighed contentedly and snuggled up to Sesshomaru. In her sleep Mesami grabbed the end of Sesshomaru's tail and hugged it to her chest.

Sesshomaru smelled another demon on Mesami and, unintentionally, growled. There was another scent on her too, but Sesshomaru couldn't place it.

Mesami whimpered and hugged Sesshomaru's tail harder, a frown of fear on her face. Sesshomaru stopped growling and looked at her, concerned. He rubbed the very tip of his tail against Mesami's face. Mesami smiled happily and rubbed her face against it. Then her hands started to pet Sesshomaru's soft, fluffy tail.

When they arrived at the castle Sesshomaru placed Mesami on her bed, in her room, and called a servant to dress her in her sleeping yukata. Sesshomaru then proceeded to go to his study again. Sesshomaru read a letter from the Lord of the East.

Dear Lord Sesshomaru,

I have need of your assistance in an important issue. I was hoping to ask for your assistance. If you decide to help me in the matter of question, send a messenger. We will meet at your castle the day after he arrives. I will explain the issue when I arrive. I have already asked the other Lords for their help and they agree to meet at your castle if you decide to help.

Thank you for your time,

Lord Shimi of the East

Sesshomaru looked at the letter again. `I wonder what is wrong. I might as well help him. We need to discuss Naraku anyway. If he gets the Shikon no Tama he could become a serious threat. Why is it half-breeds always cause the most trouble for me?'

Sesshomaru wrote a reply stating that he would help and to be at his fortress by next week. Sesshomaru then called a messenger and gave the letter to him, telling him where to go. After that Sesshomaru read through some other, unimportant, letters and a few documents.

Sesshomaru decided to get some rest even though he didn't need it. He passed Rin's room on the way to his own, and checked on her. Rin was sound asleep.
