Love Conquers All

Chapter One:The Assassin

Sesshoumaru stood there watching and waiting like he always did. If only the man knew that he was being watched. It was his job to watch his prey first before the kill. Observe them and get to know their routine. How he hated this job. He was dressed in black combat boots, black leather pants, black button up shirt and a black trench coat. His silvery blue hair pulled back in a low ponytail. His thoughts on anything but the man he was supposed to be watching. He was trying to decide when and where he should kill his prey.

Tonight he decided. He would kill the man tonight on his way to work, he works late nights. After this he would be able to retire, maybe find himself a life mate, maybe he would finally be able to relax and not worry if someone recognized him, he wouldn't have to worry if he would be caught and he would be able to move to America like he wanted. He might even be able to have himself a family. Who knows what is possible when you don't have to kill people... for that is his job... he is a hit man. He was hired by people who like to hold grudges and such.

Mans conversation with his daughter!

“Now sweetie, I know you don't like school but you have to go. It is the law and we don't break the law, do we?"

“No daddy we don't, but I don't like school. The people there don't like me. They tease me and call me names and say that you work for the mafia, they are afraid of me and don't want to be my friend. Daddy, do you work for the mafia?"

The man stuttered. He didn't know what to say to his daughter. He couldn't tell her that they were on the run from the mafia, period. Yes, he used to work for them but he didn't want her to know that his life and maybe even hers was in danger. He just looked at his daughter and smiled. She turned out to be such a lovely girl; eighteen years of age and quite beautiful.

She stood 5'6 with brown eyes and long black hair. She looked so much like her mother, Kikyou. His daughter was becoming a lovely young woman but had always lacked friends, because they moved so much. He finally got tired of it after Kikyou's death, so he had quit the mafia and therefore pissed them off.

There is only one thing he could do, and that would be to tell his daughter the truth before it was to late and he ended up disappearing. He took his daughter by the hand and led her to the kitchen. He sat her down at the table and went to go make some tea. All of this was done without anything being said. He took the kettle and put water in it and set it on the stove.

He then went and gathered the cups for their tea and put the tea bags into the tea cups. The kettle then screamed to let him know it was done (ha ha). He poured the boiling water into the tea cups and sat them on the table. He then sat down and took a deep breath and looked at his daughter. She was giving him a look that clearly stated she was concerned.

“Well, honey, I WAS in the mafia but no more. They are after me yes. I was one of their best and they are pissed at me. I am sorry to involve you in it but you need to know. I am sorry for not telling you sooner but you really didn't need to know. I am truly sorry. I hope you can forgive me. It has been a terrible secret to keep from you; you know how I am with you. I only kept it from you because I didn't want you to be disappointed in me." he stated looking down into his cup.

She stared at her father. She thought that she knew him so well. She then looked at him with narrowed eyes. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Her father had been lying to her for eighteen years. Her whole life was a lie.

“Why haven't you told me sooner? I mean I will graduate soon, father. I can't believe you. I... ugh, god dad how could you? Thanks for not telling me, so that is why I have never had friends, why we have moved so often."

“Yes, honey I am sorry. I love you so much, but I am truly sorry, angel. I am sorry sweetie but I have to go to work."

“Look dad, yes I know you have to leave but please wait. I do love you and all but why did you lie to me?"

“Honey, I didn't tell you because I wanted to keep you safe."

Sesshoumaru was getting pissed. This was taking too long. He needed to be out of there, when would the old man leave? He snuck up to the kitchen window, and watched everything being said. He was starting to get impatient and that was never good. He took out his gun and put a silencer on it, taking aim and getting ready to fire when the man said the words that were like music to his ears.

“I will talk more with you about all of this after work honey; please I need to go to work."

“Okay dad but remember one thing, no matter if you have lied to me I am still mad at you but I still love you, you are my father." Kagome said hugging her dad.

Naraku kissed his daughters cheek and headed out the door. He got into his car and headed toward his workplace. As he pulled into his space he felt as though something was wrong but just pushed it aside as paranoia. He walked into the building and into the nearest elevator. Pushing the button for the highest floor, he waited and listened to the corny elevator music.

`Imust get that changed.' he thought with a hint of a small smile on his lips.

With a ding the elevator doors opened to reveal a long hallway. On either side of the giant double doors at the end of it were two secretaries' desks. They were both at home by now, probably snug in their beds. He opened his office door and froze at the sight that sat before him. There sitting at his desk was none other then Sesshoumaru, an elegant man you could say and also his pupil. He had taught Sesshoumaru everything he knew.

“I guess now that your here I suppose I am going to die tonight." Naraku said, knowing he would never be able to get away from the Taiyoukai that sat before him.

“I guess your assumption is right, old man." Sesshoumaru said coldly.

Naraku bent his head and nodded to Sesshoumaru silently communicating that he knew what he meant and that he understood. Naraku stepped fully into the room and closed the door. He walked slowly to his desk and pulled out an envelope. He handed it to Sesshoumaru with a pleading look in his eyes.

“Give this to my daughter, will you?"

“What is it? And how did you know you would die tonight?"

"First, it is a letter for my daughter and second, I didn't... I have had this prepared for years now. Updating the letter of course but still all the same, it is the least you could do for me."

Sesshoumaru nodded his head in agreement. He knew what it was like to have a daughter. His beautiful Rin, which is one reason why he was leaving the business. He needed to get this done and over with as soon as possible. He hated the idea of killing the one that had taught him so much, almost like a second father, almost but not quite.

Naraku made a motion for Sesshoumaru to stand and he actually did as he was bid. Naraku sat down at his desk and gazed at the picture of his dear Kagome one last time. He knew she would miss him but everything was in the letter.

He would beg in it for her not to mourn for too long and to live her life to the fullest. Sesshoumaru knew how is mentor always dreamed of dying so he did what he thought was what he wanted. He walked to the swords that hung on the wall and plucked one from its place.

Naraku nodded in agreement, Sesshoumaru had known him so well. Naraku sat straighter and moved his long, black, silky hair out of the way and bowed his head, waiting for the blow. It came quickly and it was all over before you knew it. Sesshoumaru bowed his head in respect and then left as soon as he could, he would have to collect his money and be on his way. But first he had a letter to deliver.

He went back to the Higurashi shrine, looking it over and noticed that the kitchen light was on. He shrugged and put the letter into the mailbox, taking precaution not to alert anyone to his presence, he didn't want to be seen when he was so close to victory. He went back to his car and got in; heading for the place his freedom was held.

He came to the hide out of his "boss" and entered the building. Walking down a few corridors he came to the main door. Opening the door, he stepped inside. Walking to the man that is simply known as “The Boss", he bowed and told the man that it was done and that he wanted his money so he could leave.

“I do not wish to be contacted ever again, understood?" Sesshoumaru said as The Boss handed him his money.

“Oh, yes. Perfectly clear." came the scratching, dry voice of his former boss.

“Good day." Sesshoumaru said and bowed quickly and left.

Sesshoumaru booked the earliest flight to California. It would take awhile to get there but it was well worth the wait. He could finally taste freedom; he had been in the Mafia for far too long. Since he was a teenager, he had wanted his freedom then too and now he had it, at the price of killing a very dear friend.

Sesshoumaru dropped by his meager home and collected his clothing and things he needed. Helped Rin into the car and headed to the airport. When he and Rin board the plane the idea of freedom was even more real. Finally he would be able to live a some what normal life.

Back With Kagome

Kagome woke from a horrible nightmare, covered in a thin sheen of sweat. She had to get up and move around, she got out of bed and went downstairs. She walked into the kitchen and flicked on the light. She hated the fact that her father worked nights. He had told her that it helped him concentrate. She walked to the refrigerator and got out a bottle of cold ice tea. She opened it and took a gulp of it, sitting down at the kitchen table she thought back to her nightmare.

Flashback

She was sitting at her desk in her room, doing her homework that she had brought home for the day. Her father came in and told her that dinner was ready and to go wash up before coming downstairs. She stretched and did as her father asked, finally going downstairs. She sat at the table where she is now and took the plate of food that her father had offered her. After breakfast she went upstairs and took a shower, and got ready for school.

She still hasn't made any friends as of yet but she could always hope for some sometime soon. She grabbed her bad and headed to the kitchen where her father sat drinking his coffee, like every morning. Before long it was time for her to go to school, so she kissed her father's cheek and said that she would see him after school.

She had arrived on time, like always. Everyone was staring and whispering about her behind her back and she hated that... what teenager would love it? She knew the rumors that went around about her, that her father and herself were actually hit men for the Mafia or that her father was in debt, that was why they moved so much, or that someone was after them or that they had killed her mother and ran.

It was all bloody ridiculous, there was no way any of those were true. Though she did often wonder why they moved so much. That is how her whole day goes, pointing and staring then whispering. Class finally let out and she slowly made her way home, wishing for someone to talk to. When she made it home she checked the mail like always, nothing but bills.

She made her way into the house that was unusually quiet. She looked everywhere for her father but she couldn't find him. She went into her room and put her pack down on the floor before noticing a note stuck to her pillow. It read:

Dearest Kagome,

Sorry to not be home when you get there, I am needed at the office. See you either late tonight or tomorrow morning. There is plenty of food in the kitchen, behave yourself and go to bed on time.

Love,

Dad

She sighed with relieved that he was fine and just as the office. She decided to take a bath and then take a nap, watch TV or something. She gathered some of her casual everyday clothes and went into the bathroom. She ran some hot water and poured in some scented oils and added a few extra things that would relax her. As the steam rose up from the bath she got undressed and stepped into the already full tub. She turned off the water and slid further into the water, sighing as the water began to work its magic on her.

Soon enough she began to prune though. So she hurried and finished everything she needed to do; getting out of the cooling water, drying off, getting dressed and then unplugging the drain. She then brushed her hair and went downstairs. She sat on the couch and turned on the television. It was almost completely dark outside. While Kagome sat on the couch channel surfing, getting bored, when she finally came to a program that she liked. “Old Legends and Myths”. She got up from the couch and got herself a drink from the kitchen and sat it on the coffee table.

She sat and watched as the TV went on and on about old mikos and demons and the myth of The Shikon no Tama. She decided to get more comfortable and lay down, grabbing the blanket that was draped over the back of the couch, and covered herself up with it. She had everything she needed drink, blanket, pillow and the remote. She tried keeping her eyes open, tried to wait for her father to come home, but it was useless. Before long the remote slipped from her now slack hand and landed on the floor with a soft thud.

She had been asleep no longer then thirty minutes when there came a loud knock on her front door. Jerking awake she got up, wondering who would come at this time of night, knowing her father never knocked. She opened the door to reveal two police officers. A feeling of dread overcame her but yet she still managed to stand on her own two feet. They looked down on her with pity and sorrow in their eyes.

“I am sorry to inform you, Miss Higurashi, but your father was found about an hour ago, on the side of the road. He was in an accident and I am afraid he didn't make it out alive. His car exploded and we haven't found out what the cause of it, as of yet. Once again, my deepest apologies." Said the smaller of the two.

Kagome just stood there, in shock. Her face had drained of all of its color long before he had finished his speech. Her heart had pounded like it would burst from her chest and then it slowed to an amazingly slow speed. Time just seemed to slow, she couldn't breath, she got really light headed and dizzy so she caught a hold of the nearest thing, which happened to be one of the officers.

“I know this is a silly question but are you alright Miss? Do you need to go to the doctor?" said the tallest.

She looked into the kind faces of the men and knew that everything they said was true. She thanked them for taking time out of their busy schedule and come and inform her personally and that she would be fine. She thanked them again for telling her about her father and said good-night to them. She had just shut the door when a loud band ran through her ears.

End Flashback

Tears were pouring down her face as she thought of the horrid dream. She knew it wasn't true but the thought of him dying was devastating. Looking at the clock she noticed that it was only 4:07 am, she had just enough time to try and get back to sleep, though she doubted she would. She got up and put her drink back in the refrigerator and headed back towards her room. She made it to her room and quickly got back into bed. She didn't think she would get much sleep before school though.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Crunch!

Kagome rolled over after smashing her alarm clock. She cracked open a heavy lidded blue eye and groaned. Time to get up and go to school, she got out of bed and gathered her school things; going into the bathroom she did her routine. Shower, get dressed, and brush hair, brush teeth, a bit of lip gloss and then downstairs for breakfast. As she entered the kitchen she noticed that everything was as it was earlier that morning, meaning her father hadn't come home yet.

`Hm, must still be at the office.' she thought.

Making a quick cheese omelet she thought that maybe today would be different, well, she more liked, hoped it would turn out different, like she did every other day. Putting the done omelet on a plate she carried it to the table. Getting a glass and pouring some orange juice, she then carried that to the table as well.

As she sat down to eat her breakfast she looked around her home, realizing how quiet it was without her father home, and she realized how much she missed her brother Souta who went off to study in America after their mother, Kikyou, had died.

`Momma!' Kagome thought sorrowfully.

She missed her mother so very much. Her father says that she looks a lot like her mother, except she had gotten wavy hair and her temper from him. She went and put her dirty dishes in the sink and washed, dried and put everything back where it should be. Checking the clock and saw it was still early she decided to go to school anyway, she would be early today but that really didn't matter, she couldn't stand the silence of her home any longer.

At School

She walked onto the campus and as usual people started to point and whisper and stare at her. There weren't many students there, which made it worse; she wouldn't be able to blend back into the crowd. Walking down the halls with her head bowed she didn't notice someone walking toward her in the same manner, which of course ended with hem colliding into one another.

“Oh, I am so sorry, please forgive me. I wasn't watching where I was going." Kagome said politely.

"Feh, Whatever wench." Said the rude, gruff male voice.

She stared at him, for one, because it was partly his fault too and for another, he was absolutely hot! A blush would have come up to her cheeks if she wasn't so pissed off for his arrogance. As she bent to pick up her books, she gave him a piece of her mind.

“Hey! It was partly your fault too! You could have been nicer about it too! Kami-sama, I am tired of you people." The last part of her little tirade wasn't supposed to slip out of her mouth but before she could take it back it had already been said.

“Hey! Wench what do ya mean by that?" he demanded.

“I mean what I said! You people whisper and point and stare and treat me like I am some plague. You people treat me like you are better then me and that I am some horrible person. I don't know what I have ever done to you guys but I am tired of it!" she vented her pent up frustration.

He stared at her in shock, nobody has ever yelled at him like that! He was the mighty Inuyasha TakiYoshi! (I know… it is a little weird. If ya want you can send in some last names in some reviews etc etc.)

"..." he was speechless.

She blushed and said...

“Now, if you will excuse me, I have class." she left him standing in the middle of the hallway staring after her like she had just slapped him in the face with a wet fish.

Classes went as usual but they day seemed a bit brighter for her after that. Finally it came to her favorite time, lunch time. She sat where she normally does, under a large tree, outside. She was busy with her newest math assignment, so she didn't notice the approach of anyone until their shadow covered her book and paper.

“Could you move? You are in my light." she asked without looking up to she who it was.

“Say please, and I might think about it."

'That voice! I know that voice!' she thought, her eyes opening wide.

She looked up to find the rude, arrogant male that had bumped into her, well they bumped into each other but anyway, he was standing beside her. She narrowed her eyes at him.

“What do you want?"

“Hey! Wench I just came over here to tell ya that ... uh... you were right... part my fault to, and I ain't the one that talks 'bout ya either." he said crossing his arms over his chest.

“Well, uh... apology accepted, but I am still mad at you for being so rude to me earlier."

"Ya know… you ain't so bad. Why do they make fun of ya?"

“It isn't something you would understand." she said sadly.

“I have been called names too ya know, but what they fuck would a rich kid like me care about stuff like that anyway? It isn't like rich kids don't have any feelings."

That statement gave her room for pause, she never thought of it like that before.

'Still, he has money so people at least pretend to be nice. I am sure that is much worse then having no friends at all.' she thought and then looked back up at him.

She picked up an apple from her lunch and handed it up to him. He just stared at it for awhile and then finally taking it. He sat down beside her and they talked all through lunch, but eventually all good things must come to an end because it was time to go back inside, go back to class.

Everything else seemed to be normal for the rest of the day but she couldn't help but keep thinking about how today was the best day ever because someone had finally talked to her. Classes finally let out for the day and she made her way out of the building and got to the middle of the parking lot before someone called out to her.

“Hey, need a ride?"

“Sure." she said smiling at her new friend.

He drove her home and when he stopped where she told him to, he looked shocked for a minute before sputtering out...

“You live at a shrine!"

“Um, yeah. My family has had this shrine for ages. Generation after generation has taken care of it."

“Oh, so does that make you a priestess or something?"

“Well, I was in training but then my mother died. Since it only usually runs in the females of my family I had no one to finish teaching me."

“Oh, sorry. I know how that feels."

“I'm sorry. Well, uh... I better go. Will I see you tomorrow?"

“Yeah."

“Okay, bye uh, um... You haven't told me your name, yet."

“Uh, right. It's Inuyasha and yours is?"

“Kagome... Kagome Higurashi."

“Well, see ya tomorrow. I can pick us up if ya need it?"

“Yeah! That would be really great."

“Right, tomorrow morning then."

"Byeeee!"

She waved to the disappearing red mustang. She then turned and went to check the mail as she did every afternoon. She gathered everything that was sitting neatly stacked in the small-ish mailbox. She went through the mail as she walked up the many steps of her ancestral home, The Higurashi Shrine.

All of them were bills, all of them but one, and it had her name on it. But what was so weird about it was that it was in her father's handwriting. She opened the door to the house, dropped her bad, set the bills on the kitchen counter for her father to look at later, and then walked into the living room. She sat on the couch, and all the while doing everything since checking the mail was staring at the letter that was addressed to her.

`Whydo I get a bad feeling from this?' Kagome thought when a sudden chill went through her to her very soul.

With Inuyasha

`Hm, she is a strange one, that girl. She seems nice enough though. What was it about her that the other humans tease her about? I have seen nothing wrong with her. I might be new there but I am no idiot.' he thought as he drove home.' We talked but every time I brought up that subject she seemed to get anxious and change the subject.

Switching on the radio, he suddenly got an idea. Pulling out his cell phone, he began looking through the phone book. Watching the road and turning off the radio for his call and...

“Aw, fuck this shit... Dial Miroku." he told his phone. In a matter of seconds a ringing sound came from his phone.

He put it on speaker so he wouldn't have to hold it up to his face and waited for the lecher to pick up but who answered it amazed him.

Sango:“Hello?"

Inuyasha:“Sango? It's me, Yash, put the pervert on."

Sango:“Right, hang on." You could hear her scream for the Monk to pick up the phone.

Miroku:“Yes, How may I help you?"

Inuyasha:“It's me, cut the bullshit. I want to know some information on someone."

Miroku:“Alright, who is the lucky girl, who had caught your attention?"

Inuyasha:“Hey! It isn't like that, ya pervert! I wanted to ask ya about a Higurashi, Kagome Higurashi."

Miroku:“Why do you want to know about her?"

Inuyasha:"Damnit Miroku! Do you have information or not?"

Miroku:"Well of course I do. She is considered an outsider because she is such a mystery to everyone, no one really knows much about her but they all say that her father either used to work for the Mafia or still does. Hang on a minute, I will put Sango on, she said she knows a little bit about her."

Inuyasha:“Yeah, thanks bud."

Sango:"Hey, Yash. I heard everything. I have her in my history class. She is smart but she doesn't talk to anyone, she barely speaks when the teacher calls on her. Everyone points and stares and everything, I sort of feel sorry for the girl. All I can say for sure is that she had moved a total of 17 times and went to 9 different schools. Nobody knows why but you know how much everyone at Shikon High loves to gossip."

Inuyasha:“Thanks for the info, but mind tellin me what yer doin with the lecher?"

Sango:" Uh, he he, a science project?"

Inuyasha:“Yeah right." he could hear the blush in her voice. “Well I am home, gotta go. Tell the Monk to call if he finds out anything more."

Sango:“Gotcha."

The line went dead; he hung up the phone and got out of his car. He walked up the long set of stairs to the two white double doors. Just as he got close enough to open them himself, they opened. There stood his father.

“Yo pops, what's the deal?"

“Do not “yo pops" me, where have you been?"

“I dropped off a friend at her house, jeez lay off will ya?" he thought for a moment... yeah... Kagome was a friend now.

“We will talk about this later but in the meantime I have received word from your brother."

“Half-brother." Inuyasha corrected his father.

“That will be enough, son. Can you two not get along?"

“No."

The mighty InuTaisho sighed and lead his youngest son into the study. Inuyasha called for a maid to bring him some Ramen!

“You know, that stuff isn't very nutritious.

“Yeah? Oh well, it still tastes good." Inuyasha growled out.

“As I was saying Sesshoumaru seems to be doing fine, they boarded the plane this morning and are doing fine. Rin is excited and can't wait to see California." InuTaisho made a face as slurping sounds came in the vicinity of Inuyasha. “Can you not eat like a normal person?"

“Since when am I a normal person?" he asked as he finished off his Ramen.

“Tell me about this girl you took home."

“Nothing to tell."

“Right, then what is her name? I suppose you know it?"

“Yeah, it is Kagome."

`Getting information out of Inuyasha is like trying to squeeze water out of a stone.' InuTaisho thought grimly.

“Well... Kagome what?"

“Kagome Higurashi."

InuTaisho stilled, he couldn't believe his ears. Did his son just say Higurashi? It couldn't be the same Higurashi he was thinking of. There were no other Higurashi living in this town though, no others who happened to own the Higurashi Shrine. Descendants of the Priestess Midoriku, he looked at his son who was slurping down his third bowl of Ramen.

“Tell me son, does this Higurashi girl live at a shrine?"

“Yeah, how'd ya know?" he said with a mouthful of noodle.

“They are the only Higurashi in this town; their ancestor is none other then The Priestess Midoriku. Meaning this Kagome girl can very well be a miko, it is passed down through the women of that bloodline. Just be careful son, which is all I ask."

Inuyasha stared at his father like he had gone mad. Kagome was actually a miko? That only meant one thing... The Shikon no Tama had to be real, it had to exist... and Kagome was the one to tell him where it was.

`I wonder if Miroku knows?' he thought.

“You are dismissed, I have paperwork to do."

Inuyasha mumbled all the way up the stairs to his spacious room. He grabbed his phone and called Miroku again.

Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring!

Miroku:“Hey man, what's up?"

Inuyasha:"Nothin man."

Miroku:" I just thought you would like to know a little bit on Kagome Higurashi."

Inuyasha:“I am listenin' man."

Miroku:“She is a miko, well her powers are dormant but still, she is one and by the looks of things could be a very powerful one at that."

Inuyasha:“Yeah I found that out already, anything else?"

`Miroku just confirmed my thoughts... so she is one after all... an untrained Miko is dangerous...better not tell pops.'Inuyasha thought.

Miroku: “Yeah, her father was in the Mafia awhile back and guess who his star pupil was?"

Inuyasha: "Quit playin' games Miroku!"

Miroku:“Alright man, take a chill pill. Naraku Higurashi, Kagome's dad, trained your half-brother, Sesshoumaru."

Inuyasha:“But Sesshoumaru said that he had to kill his mentor in order to get out of ' the business' as he put it, but that would mean..."

Miroku:“Yep, he killed Naraku Higurashi last night."

Inuyasha:“I wonder if Kagome knows."

Miroku:“Only one person would know."

Inuyasha:" Right, well talk to you later man."

A/N: The reason why Miroku knows all these things is because he has contacts, meaning he is sort of related to the Mafia in a way... hard to explain.. he he… sorry.

Inuyasha hung up the phone and then dialed Sesshoumaru's cell number. He should still be on the plane so he would be able to talk to him.

Sesshoumaru: “Sesshoumaru TakiYoshi speaking."

Inuyasha: “I have a question for ya."

Sesshoumaru: “Just because you have a question for me doesn't mean that I will answer it or does it mean that you can call me whenever you want."

Inuyasha: "Stuff it, asshole. You want me to tell pops you were being less then civil to me?"

Sesshoumaru: "Go on, mutt. I do not have to explain my actions to you half-breed."

Inuyasha: “Fine then, tell me one thing at least."

Sesshoumaru: “Maybe but what is your question?"

Inuyasha: “Does Kagome Higurashi know that you have killed her father?"

The line went silent, but Inuyasha knew Sesshoumaru was still on the phone. He could hear his breathing start to speed and then slow until it was normal again. To say he was shocked would be appropriate.

Sesshoumaru: “How long have you known?"

Inuyasha: “Not that long..." came the cocky answer of the Hanyou.

Sesshoumaru: “Well then, I imagine she would be reading the letter right about now then, if not sooner. So yes she does know that her father is dead."

Inuyasha: You didn't answer all of the question. Does she know it was you?"

Sesshoumaru: “No." he said sighing.

Inuyasha: “Did you know that she is the descendant of Priestess Midoriku? And therefore she is a miko. I wonder if she knew her father that well?"

Sesshoumaru: You must not interfere with her. She has to find out on her own Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: " Oh, you mean that her father..."

Sesshoumaru: " Do not speak those words to me little brother." he said icily.

He hung up the phone. Sesshoumaru sat back in his seat and looked at the sleeping Rin. He had done it for the best. He wanted a new life for his 'daughter'. He had found her in an alley; she had almost died of starvation. He adopted her and took her in. He did know one thing for sure about his `teacher'; he had a lot of secrets, which Kagome Higurashi would have to find out for herself.

`Ifonly she knew...' he thought.

Well that is it for now. I can tell you right now that the next chapters probably won't be as long as this one, it is almost a guarantee. Sorry though. Sorry I haven't updated my other stories but with getting married and finding out your pregnant you kind of get so much stuff rumbling in your head you can't think straight. Hope this tides you over for a bit and please let me know what you think of it. I have put in many, many new things... and taken out a lot also.
