Sesshomaru frowned glancing at the child in his arms before back at the window. It had been a long time since the Demon had to hold his daughter like this. A long time since Rin had had this nightmare. The same one that plagued Sesshomaru everyday. The nightmare of Kagura coming to take her away from him.
Closing his eyes Sesshomaru ran his clawed hand through Rin’s hair lightly. Black hair… the only thing the young Demoness had inherited from her mother. Frowning Sesshomaru thought about everything that had happened to Rin since her mother left.
: : : Flashback : : :
I stared as Kagura stared at our child with hatred and disgust as she stood before us. Rin clutched my hand tighter tears threatening to spill from her eyes as I glanced down at her. Wordless questions filled her eyes as she glanced up at me before turning back to her mother.
“Mommy?” whispered Rin unsure.
Kagura sneered at our daughter before she demanded. “So I suppose you’re here to ‘comfort’ Kagome when Naraku wins?”
Raising a eyebrow slightly at the way Kagura said ‘comfort’ I merely shook my head. I had every confidence that Kagome would win this race. After all she held the record for winning every race in the past two seasons.
“Well if it isn’t the skank now?” sneered Kagura then.
I jerked my attention to Kagome who stood beside me. Mildly I wondered when she had arrived and why I had never sensed her presence. Kagome kneeled down to Rin then and smiled sweetly. Watching as my daughter launched herself in the young racer’s arms, Kagome hugged her.
“Hey Rin! Did you like the race?” asked Kagome softly.
Rin nodded excitedly as she hugged Kagome and said. “Rin love it!”
“So bitch your already taking my place. Tell me husband is Kagome as good as fuck as me?” Kagura sneered.
Kagome stood up then and smiled sweetly at Kagura as she said happily. “Oh Kagura I didn’t see you there! You look so different when your not flat on your back with a random guy over you!”
I nearly smiled at that. Sure I knew that Kagome’s insult wasn’t the best but it was a far better then Kagome’s original innocent and naive comments. Naïve that has long since vanished since Kagura’s betrayal. Smiling I watched as Kagura’s face turned red with fury before she snapped.
“You one to talk whore!”
Smiling sweetly again Kagome said happily. “I may be a whore but at least I’m a whore with taste… apposed to you who will sleep with anything that has a dick.”
“Why you-” started Kagura again only to be cut off.
“You know you might want to go check up on Naraku… I hear he’s quite angry about losing to me… again.” sneered Kagome. “After all he had a fourteenth place finish today… that was just horrible.”
Storming away, Kagura shouted back loudly. “One day I am going to kill you!”
“Look forward to it sweety!” shouted Kagome after her before finishing off with. “You know I here Kaguya in the area I’m sure she would love to visit you!”
I stared as Kagura flinched and seemed to run away. Leaving me with the mild question on who was this ‘Kaguya’ and why did it appear as though Kagura was afraid of her?
: : : End Flashback : : :
Sesshomaru frowned realizing that he had never learned of who this Kaguya was. Even though he had questioned Kagome multiple times on different occasions the Miko refused to give any information. Shoving that thought aside, Sesshomaru thought about Rin’s next birthday.
: : : Flashback : : :
Rin smiled happily as she ran from animal to animal staring with wide eyed wonder. I watched mildly amused as Kagome ran with her smirking and laughing. Today was Rin’s birthday and I had rented out the entire zoo for a day. Smiling I watched as they petted everything from the Armadillos and to the Zebras.
“Daddy, daddy this is so much fun!” laughed Rin as she jumped up and down acting like a Kangaroo.
I nodded as Kagome walked over to me smiling before her cell phone rang. The familiar tune of “Time of Dying” by Three Days Grace filter through the air.
Raising an eyebrow I watched as Kagome blushed and answered the phone.
“Hello?”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
My eyebrow raised higher at that. Whose voice was that? It was musical but held the authority of a being in power. However all in all it was a female voice.
“I didn’t think you wanted to know about her. I know you and Kagura didn’t get along.”
“That does not matter now… I heard she threatened you again in this true?”
“Yes.” said Kagome softly.
I frowned, Kagome had been threatened again and she never told me? Why not? She knew I thought of her as my ward and a member of my pack. So as a Alpha Male it was my duty to protect her.
“She shall face me if she raises her hand to you again.” came the voice. “I shall pass my message along personally about not threatening those under my protection.”

Frowning Sesshomaru blocked out the thoughts of the mysterious Kaguya and instead thought on his brother. InuYasha… how long had it been since he had last seen him? Did he even know that this Sesshomaru had taken a wife and now had an heir? Closing his eyes again Sesshomaru thought back on when he found out that he had to find his brother.
: : : Flashback : : :
“Sesshomaru-sama!” shouted a voice.
I glanced around my office mildly looking for the voice before slapping my neck. Withdrawing my hand I watched as a flattened flea demon fell his whiskers twitching. Resisting the urge to roll my eyes in annoyance at my father’s old advisor I watched as he hopped onto the desk and began jumping up and down.
“Sesshomaru-sama! Sesshomaru-sama! I’ve finally found you!” shouted Myoga.
Narrowing my eyes at the flea demon I watched amused as he swallowed heavily before babbling. “I have the will your father left you. It seems that half of the company in fact went to you younger brother InuYasha.”
“Half of the company?” I growled out my eyes flashing red.
“It would seem so. It also seems that on his twenty-first birthday InuYasha will inherit the rest of the company unless you acknowledge him as your brother.” finished Myoga.
“Fine.” I said sharply. “I will just write an acknowledging letter in the newspaper about InuYasha.”
“I’m afraid that wouldn’t work Sesshomaru-sama… you see it has to be face to face.” said Myoga. “That was clearly illustrated in the will and need I remind you that Master InuYasha turns twenty-one in two months time.”

Sesshomaru bared his fangs. If it hadn’t been for that will he would never have contacted Kagome and sent her to New York. Glancing at the calendar Sesshomaru frowned. It was only four weeks until InuYasha’s twenty-first birthday. He hoped that Kagome would not fail before then.
