The sun cast a rosy glow over the horizon as a long black limousine pulled into the reserved parking lot of the amphitheater. As the limo came to a stop, a green, little, toad like demon hopped out of the front. He carried a black cane with the emblem of a fully transformed Inu youkai mid-leap , and a brief case he was struggling to keep a hold of since it was nearly as big as he was. He toddled to the back of the limo with both items then put the brief case down to straighten his tie and suit before opening the door for his employer.

A tall figure, clad in a white, mandarin collared Armani coat, which went down to his knees, unfolded with an ethereal grace. His long, silver, hair lifted with the breeze as he bent down to retrieve his belongings from his assistant. Cold amber eyes took in his surroundings as he strode forward with an aristocratic refinement that made him seem to be gliding.

The toad man struggled to keep up with the imposing figure.

"Which trailer would he be in sir?" He asked in a gratingly squeaky voice.

"Isn't it obvious Jaken?" The figure replied in a quiet monotone. The two figures walked up to the trailer closest to the street.

The door looked very much like it had very recently been used as a dinosaur's chew toy. The door knob was barely hanging onto the door with half of a key sticking out of the keyhole. The door itself had huge claw marks running its length, and was jammed back into the frame. Probably because it had been ripped off hinges that were now just so much twisted metal.

"Allow me sir." Jaken piped up as he went to knock on the door.



Jaken stood back, straightening to his full three-foot height.

Silence…

Jaken cleared his throat with a prim "hem, hem," and knocked harder.

Nothing could be heard except the wind rustling the trees a bit.

"Perhaps we should come back later?" Jaken wrung his hands and looked up nervously into a piercing gold gaze.

His face gave nothing away as he looked from Jaken, blinked slowly, then looked at the door.

With a flash of claws and a loud crack, the door collapsed into the trailer.

The tall silver haired creature stalked calmly into the room.

"WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN!! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE IDIOT!"

" How dare you… you… half breed!" Jaken sputtered outraged. "Why if…!"

"That'll do Jaken."

"But sir…"

The cold, golden eyes turned toward Jaken. That was enough of a warning for the little demon who squeaked and cowered down slightly.

"We have important business today Inuyasha." The quiet voice stated, deceivingly calm.

"Damn it! Come back at a decent hour!" Growled the inu hanyou under the covers.

Amber youkai eyes considered the sleeping figure a moment longer. Then his lips curled lightly at the corners into the faintest of smiles.

Jaken's eyes grew even wider and he frantically raced around the room for somewhere to hide.

Long, elegant, clawed hands pulled apart the silver top from the cane which began to reveal itself to be a very lethal looking sword.

The only move the figure on the bed made was to twitch the white, furry ears at the top of his head at the slight singing sound the blade made leaving it's sheath.

With sword fully drawn the tall intruder smiled a little more. Then with a flash of steel plunged the blade into the center of a now empty bed.

"Damn you Sesshomaru!!! Why can't you Just say good morning like normal people!!!"

Inuyasha, still breathing hard from his last minute leap across the room, stood up from his crouch and folded his arms in front of his bare chest defensively.

"Well Inuyasha, now that you're awake, I believe we have business to discuss." Sesshomaru said as he sheathed his hidden sword once more.

Inuyasha glared daggers at his older brother and managed to snort a "Keh."

"I have just received word from Kaede-sama that Kikyo quit the band a few days ago." Sesshomaru began as he made for the plush arm chair. "Luckily, I suppose, Kikyo was just pulling one of her stunts if last night was any indication. I'll negotiate changes in her contract later, as usual, but for now…"

"Kikyo wasn't at the concert last night." Inuyasha cut in as he plopped down on the edge of the mangled bed.

Sesshomaru paused in unlatching his brief case. His brows rose ever so slightly at the interruption.

"Inuyasha, either that was your poor attempt at humor or I have greatly underestimated how thick you really are."

"Listen Idjet." Inuyasha ground through his teeth as he cracked his knuckles. "I don't have a sense of humor this early in the friggin morning and if you'd listen to me for once in our lives, I could explain."

Sesshomaru's only response was to lean back in the armchair and interlace his fingers in front of his face. His intent eyes and violet slashes of the youkai markings on his cheeks barely visible over his claws.

Inuyasha ran a hand through his hair wondering where to begin.

`That's a no brainer,' Inuyasha thought. `Where it always begins.' He shook his silver covered head and glanced at the poster of the band. At the forefront of the poster…

`Kikyo.'
