~*Chapter Two: Encounters*~

 

Yoshiyuki watched as Nishi departed and wondered if he should have told her about his beloved mother's condition. Yoshi walked down the halls, almost walking on air. After walking down several corridors he found himself at a large door with wood carvings donning the door. He opened the door to see a frail form of a woman. The woman appeared to be no older than fifty years old. The woman was coughing and hacking profusely. At that moment the only thing Lord Yoshi wanted to do was make a wish so his mother could live as long as his father. Yoshi didn't want to lose his dear mother Rin who was what kept Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Yoshiyuki on their toes, but now that task is what Nishi held now. “I will not lose you mother,” Yoshi uttered so low not even the youkai could hear it.

 

Yoshi came into his parents chambers; his father was no where in sight. So he approached his mother's side, she was still coughing terribly. His soft golden eyes staring down at his mother and felt of her head. The fever had finally broke, a good sign at least and pulled up a chair and sat by her. His strong hanyou hands held his mother, Rin's frail hand. Yoshi looked so much like his father in the clothing his father wore but he bore no tail. All he desired was to save his mother, willing to wish she was an Inu Youkai female if it meant to save what was left of her. For the first time, the young lord wept and rested his hot cheek against her hand.

 

It wasn't long until Yoshi fell asleep and Lord Sesshomaru found his son at Rin's side. He knew that Rin was the sun and the stars and that it was hard letting go. He found no medicine for his wife as this was meant as an illness only a youkai could recover from. Had he not already made the wish for Nishi's life to be extended he would have wished for his wife's life to be long, greatly longer. Sesshomaru didn't move that very doorway. Suddenly he sensed her stirring.

 

Rin had begun to stir and felt warmness against her skin and looked to see her son. It saddened her she brought so much sadness to those she loved. Her son's silver hair tickled her arms and weakly smiled as she saw a man in the doorway. It was her Lord, her mate, her husband who she wished she could be with forever, even when she was a child more than a hundred and fifty years ago. Rin retrieved her hand and stroked her dear son's hair and soft silky dog ears. She had a soft cloth to her mouth as she began to cough again; her own blood came out onto the cloth.

 

Both Sesshomaru and Yoshi smelt the blood and Yoshi immediately awoke and saw his ailing mother. He immediately took a water pitcher and poured into the glass. Obviously it was dusk as the light had vanished and Lord Yoshiyuki now looked like a human male in Lord clothing. He helped his mother with the glass so she would not spill anything and left her side. Yoshi left for his chambers that weren't far away but he immediately disrobed after shutting his door behind him and began to wear ningen clothing. “I'm going to find my sister and fix this,” He declared more to himself as he strapped two swords to his side.

Naraku had built a fine army and more enemies than he could count. After all he had more power than he had more than a hundred years ago. He had tried to find the Shikon No Tama but Kikyou had hidden it well. Naraku still wished to cast out the weaker demons within him and would do so once he knew where that cursed jewel was.

 

 

Naraku having finished with his concubine for the night, he now sat in his more favorite room of this new castle he had acquired. Naraku sat in his sitting position wearing his kimono that revealed his bare chest was always open to show off his upper form. He had relaxed and could feel something suddenly that made him jerk from his focus of the destruction of another area of Japan. It was the pulsating of the Shikon No Tama that called to him; Kikyou's harborer had come out into plain sight.

 

Naraku often felt this sensation, having not been the first time this happened over the course of the years. Often he sensed the power that called out to him. So now he knew he had to take it back but he preferred to do his harm from a distance. Naraku had only once done his harm up close, trying to kill Lord Sesshomaru's only male offspring, Lord Yoshiyuki which had lead the loss of an arm.

 

Kanna stood not but three feet away from him holding the mirror showing him an image. It was a young maiden a horseback, her looks were appealing but that didn't matter to him. He saw the one thing he needed that was around the girl's neck. It was the Shikon No Tama; it was purified in its entirety.

 

“Do wish to attack her now?” Kanna asked.

 

“No, we will wait, we will watch to see who this maiden is,” Naraku seeing only a maiden as it was night fall. He could never imagine the infant he had tried to kill could have been this young maiden he was watching now who happened to be in Inuyasha Forest.

Nishi sat on the god tree and tried to relax and felt stupid that she let her emotions start going berserk for a ningen boy. She felt her heart beat fast as she thought of their last encounter of how he rested his hand on her chest above her breasts and how she had... `I'm not thinking this, I'm not thinking this!' She screamed inside of her mind. Nishi didn't want to find a mate, she wanted to use as much of her youth as she had left. She hated boys that chased after her for her title. But Miroku didn't really know who she was; he thought she was just a ningen girl.

 

Suddenly there was rustling in the bushes. She grasped her Sais that was at her hips. “Who's there?” Nishi demanded jumping down. A man stood there in a red haori, he had dark raven hair and violet eyes like her's. She had her Sais prepared for battle and looked just as determined.

 

Inuyasha stood there holding his sword, it wasn't Tetseiga but still he could use it well. He looked like he had just seen a ghost as he looked at the young woman. He was able to shake it off as he thought he had just seen Kagome for an instant, his Kagome. “Inuyasha, who are you?” He demanded.

 

For a moment all the color from Nishi's face just went away. The echoing sounds of that name, her father's name. “You lie, Inuyasha is a silver Inu hanyou,” She said forgetting for a moment about the new moon and she was looking human herself. After all, Nishi had believed her whole life that her father was dead, as was her mother, Kagome.

 

Inuyasha was dumbstruck, not many people knew about that little detail. They also never knew about Inuyasha's new moon problem. He moved his hand from his sword hilt and just blatantly told her, “Feh. Believe what you want.” Inuyasha walked off, feeling a bit insulted by the girl.

 

Nishi then was the one that walked away where her horse was. She figured maybe Miroku might come to find her later. Then again, they were only acquaintances. Nishi sighed, “He will only require my company when he requires companionship.” She had no idea Inuyasha though human could still hear her. She sat down on a blanket looking up at the sky; a couple stars had come out. “The sky will be filled with stars tonight,” She looking at the sky in wonderment.

 

Miroku meanwhile was held up in the village. He had just been slapped by one of the maidens who had misunderstood about the question about bearing his children. It was a simple question after all. Miroku rubbed the side of his face and uttered, “At least Nishi doesn't slap me.” Then he realized something, tonight she was going to be there and he had to tell her some great things especially about her heritage.

 

 

So Miroku leaving his staff in his father's home, he made his way through the forest. He found her not at the God tree and found Inuyasha watching the young girl. He was so quiet and took out one of his swords and used the hilt to tap on Inuyasha's shoulder.

 

Inuyasha turned quickly to hit whoever had made him lose his concentration. It was the damned demon slayer and he followed Miroku back to the god tree. “What was that about?!” He demanded of him.

 

“You shouldn't spy on young women,” Miroku stated, but he shouldn't really speak of such matters. As he had been caught on many occasions watching young women bathe, it was in his blood and he had no problem with it.

 

“I was not spying,” Inuyasha declared trying to remain calm but it was extremely hard at the moment. “Who is she anyways?” He asked.

 

`I shouldn't tell him,' Miroku thought to himself. `It will be hard for the both of them if she really is his kid.' He mused. “Sureiyaa,” He stated.

 

“Why is she here in my forest?” Inuyasha demanded.

 

“This isn't your forest, Sureiyaa comes here on retreat to have some peace of mind,” Miroku spoke. “You want to deny anyone peace?”

 

Inuyasha walked back to the village after saying, “Feh,” one last time. He was still affected after all, the girl reminded him of Kagome. It might have been her features or it could have been the way she had acted upon meeting him, he couldn't tell.

 

When Miroku thought Inuyasha was far enough away he approached Nishi by coming up behind her. Then there was a crack.

 

Nishi reacted simply by grabbing Miroku's sword and holding it to his throat and he backed up to a tree. She was smiling and said, “What have I told you about sneaking up on me?”

 

Miroku had a devilish grin on his face and said, “I will be severely punished.” The images in his mind were all but clean. After all he was a hentai (pervert), something he had in common with all the males in his family. The only thing he had in common with them, he couldn't help what he was thinking, kissing those sweet lips.

 

Nishi put his sword back in its hilt and said, “You wish.” She felt Miroku's hold it there and suddenly she felt her heart jump and breathing become shallow. `Oh no,' She thought to herself as she felt her nervousness just increase. Nishi actually blushed at his action. “Um, Miroku-Chan, what are you doing?” She asked, her voice obviously revealing her nervousness with small breaks but enough for him to hear.

Sesshomaru lay beside his beloved mate. He had never dealt with defeat well or at all, as he had proved countless times. He positioned himself behind her so she could rest against him. They had done such since they had become mates. Anytime Rin had become ill or in distress that he could sense, he always positioned himself like so. Sesshomaru had felt Rin fall asleep in arms, her breathing was not interrupted with coughing. It was at a normal steady pace. He nuzzled at her neck, more of a comfort than anything else.

 

There was no telling how much time they had left and wondered if he had made the right choice in mating her. He knew he would be distraught in losing her and he wondered if claiming her when she was nineteen years of age had been right. However, the great Lord Sesshomaru would never admit to having made a mistake, after all he had claimed her long before he mated with her.

 

 

Sesshomaru looked down at his Lady of the Western Lands. Rin had never wanted the title, only to be with him forever. He knew where his son had gone, it was not hard to decipher, and Yoshiyuki had gone to seek out his sister-cousin. They both knew that the Shikon No Tama could grant you one wish and he knew the longer it was with her, the more it was purified. However there was no telling what wish his foolish son would make. Sesshomaru didn't care at the moment, as long as it meant Rin lived on.
