~Sesshoumaru's Castle~

Sesshoumaru was in his study working on the documents when Jaken knocked on the door. He had been trying to get the documents done all day but was interrupted what seemed like every minute. Either by his servants about his ward playing tricks, or he was interrupted by Rin's personal servant about his ward not wanting to bathe, which ended with the servant all wet. Which Rin's servant ended up in his study, where he had to get up and find her and escort her to her servant and told her that the servant was going to bathe her. Then, it was her tutor about Rin not wanting to learn. Then Jaken came in, screeching about how he is not shown respect from his ward and how she is disrespectful to him by her putting flowers on him and so forth, now Jaken is back at the door of his study.

"Enter, Jaken!" Sesshoumaru sighed as he rubbed his temples, as Jaken walked in. "What is it that, my ward's done now that you can't take care of?" As he went back to reading the document he had in his hand. "Nothing, M'Lord. But M'lord the lords of the north, east, and south are here. They are here to go over and validate the peace treaties. That they had sent you a notice m'lord." Jaken said.   

"Show them in, Jaken and Jaken when their seated bring a flask of sake and sake cups and bring them here!" Sesshoumaru spoke with his icy tone.   

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama, right away." Jaken walked out into the hall to where the other lords were "Please m'lords come right this way, lord Sesshoumaru will see you now." Jaken motioned for them to follow.

"Greetings, Lord of the Western Lands. I hope we are not interrupting anything!" The Eastern Lord spoke.

"Not at all, Lord Naoko. Why don't you and the other lords take a seat and we can get on to the business at hand that brought us all together shall we!" Sesshoumaru look at Jaken and waved his hand to dismiss his retainer.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, I detect the presence of a human female. Has the Mighty Lord of the western lands taken upon himself a mate at last and have not informed the other lords about this?" The Lord of the south asked.

"No lord Toru, this Sesshoumaru of the western lands has not yet taken a mate. But you are correct that there is a human female within these walls but she is my ward. I look after her, for she is only seven in human years." Sesshoumaru said as Jaken came in with the sake.

"Here you are, my lord. Would there be anything else that you would have your faithful retainer to do?" Jaken asked as he bowed.   

"Go and bring my ward here and make it quick." Sesshoumaru said as he poured the sake for all the lords and then himself as they waited for Jaken to bring his ward. About five minutes later a small knock sounded at the door.

"Enter." Sesshoumaru called. The door opened and in walked his retainer and his ward.

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama, you wanted to see me?" Rin said standing there by the door with Jaken.

"Rin come, I would like to introduce you." Sesshoumaru stood and held out his hand for her to come forward and take it. He waited for her to stand by him. "Rin, I would like you to meet Lord Naoko of the east, who is a lynx, Lord Toru of the south, who is a dolphin, and Lord Kenshin of the north, who is a horse." Sesshoumaru said introducing Rin.   

"Hello, my lords." Rin said and being polite as she bowed slightly. "Sesshoumaru-sama when can Rin and Sesshoumaru-sama go visit Kagome-chan and Shippou-chan?" Rin turned and looked up at Sesshoumaru.   

"We will discuss this matter at a later time." Sesshoumaru said with a serious look to him.

"Oh alright. Then may Rin go to the gardens?" Rin asked in her high-spirited child like manner. Sesshoumaru nodded.

"Yes, but take Jaken with you!" He turned to Jaken "Jaken, take Rin to the gardens and watch over her." He said as he walked back to his chair.   

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama. Come along Rin." Jaken said with a sick look to him.

"Thank you, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin ran over and gave Sesshoumaru a hug. Then turned back to the other lords "It was really nice to meet you." She said as she ran to Jaken and grabbed his hand and ran out the door towards the garden.

"What a delightful and high-spirited little girl!" Lord Kenshin and the other two lords agreed.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, who are these two that your ward named? These names Kagome-chan and Shippou-chan?" Lord Toru asked. Sesshoumaru all of a sudden look as of depression came over him. Sesshoumaru was hoping they would not ask about them.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, why do you look so melancholy?" Lord Naoko questioned.

"Kagome-chan as my ward mentioned is the human miko whom travels with my half breed brother, who's collecting the jewel shards and who's trying to hunt down and kill Naraku. And this Shippou-chan is a kitsune pup, who looks to Kagome-chan as his adopted mother. You could say Shippou-chan is Kagome-chan's ward." Sesshoumaru said.

"But this does not explain why 'The Mighty Sesshoumaru' got so melancholy at the mention of the name or names." Lord Toru said looking closely at Sesshoumaru.

"Well now, shall we go over the treaty and sign it. So we all can get back to our individual duties in our own lands." Sesshoumaru said to change the subject.

"Yes, agreed!" The other lords said knowing when to change the subject. An hour later the treaty was once again signed amongst them.

"Till the next time we gather together, lord Sesshoumaru!" The other lords said as they left Sesshoumaru's study.

"Until next time." Sesshoumaru nodded and turned and went back into his study and went and stood behind his desk and looked out the window thinking to himself "Why did this Sesshoumaru get so nervous over the mentioning of the human wench and the kitsune that travels with the half breed? I care nothing for her." He shook his head and turned around and got to work finishing the little stack of scrolls that was left. A short time later as a knock sounded at the door Sesshoumaru was finishing up the last scroll.

"You may enter, Jaken." Sesshoumaru sounded as he signed his name. Jaken came in with food on a tray.

"I thought M'Lord would be hungry, so I brought some food." He walked over and placed the tray on the corner of the desk.

"Jaken, have my ward's servant get Rin ready for bed and inform her servant to tell Rin she may stay up till I come and check on her. Then, after the message is given to her servant, you may leave them. But inform her servant as well that when she is done dressing my ward, she is to leave and go to her own chambers and leave the child." Sesshoumaru informed Jaken as he looked over his food.

"Yes, lord Sesshoumaru." Jaken bowed and left. After Sesshoumaru was finished with his meal he walked to his chamber and got a silk night robe and walked to the hot spring to clean his self and to relax without being disturbed unless on an emergency. Half hour later he made his way to Rin's chamber and walked in.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin got up from sitting at her low table were she was drawing and coloring pictures, and ran and wrapped her arms around his leg and gave him a hug.

"Did you fare well after meeting the other lords." He looked down to her.

"Rin fared nicely. Rin drew and colored pictures of Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin, Ah_Un, and grumpy Jaken so as next time we see Kagome-chan and Shippou-chan, Rin may give them the pretty pictures. When can Sesshoumaru-sama and Rin go see Kagome-chan and Shippou-chan?" Rin asked.

"Rin, there is no guaranties when you'll see them." He said.

"Does Sesshoumaru-sama not like Kagome-chan? Does he not think Kagome-chan is beautiful?" Rin said with her hands on her hips like Kagome does when she's mad at Inuyasha.

"Rin, it's time for bed. Now lay down on your futon and go to sleep." Sesshoumaru said pulling up the light orange blanket then rubbed her head then turned around and walked to the door.   

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin called out.

"Enough, Rin! Sleep." was his reply as he walked out closing the door. Then walked down the hall to his chamber but as he was doing so he thought to himself "She looks like a young version of that wench that travels with that hanyou of a half brother of mine. This Sesshoumaru admires that the miko is brave and shows her enemies no fear when she confronts them. The courage to stand up to a formidable adversary like myself knowing there's a very good chance she would not win and show no fear." Reaching his chamber he went in and pulled back his silk blanket and then striped of his night robe and laid down on his futon.

~Kagome's Era~

Kagome had just finished packing what she could until she made the brownie's and chocolate covered fruit. She heaved her yellow bag onto her shoulder and lugged it up to her room putting it in her closet next to her bow and quiver of arrows. After she put down the yellow bag she walked to her desk opening her biology book and started studying.

"Kagome phone! It's your friend Eri." Her mother called up the stairs.

"Thanks, I'll be right there." Kagome said as she opened her door and ran down stairs. "Thanks, mom!" She toom the phone to the dinning room table. "Hello Eri. How are you?" Kagome asked.

"I should be asking you how you are doing! I mean with you getting food poisoning on top of having a bad case of ringworm from taking care of your aunt's dog, the one that your grandfather calls a mutt or better yet half breed because of it's two different breeds that he is. The way your grandpa talks this dog is fifteen in human years but like fifty in dog. I may be out of line but your aunt should put that poor boy to sleep and not make him suffer any longer."

"Yea, you're probably right. But he is still a good boy at time when he's not trying to find his old bitch to rut with that died along time ago!" Kagome said tying to hold back a laugh {who do you think she was saying this about?}.

"So Kagome, what are you doing tomorrow?" Eri asked.

"Well, I was planning on baking for seven people. Would you like to help out?" Kagome asked.

"Sure what time would you want me over by?" Eri questioned.

"Say by 11:00 am. That way I can eat lunch then get the first batch of brownies made. The first batch has to be made a certain way. Then when you come over you can help with making the other six batches. Then we can have fun melting chocolate to dip fruit in for chocolate covered fruit." Kagome told Eri. "Well, I better go so I can go to bed so I can get started. You know, to have enough strength after recovering from my sickness and all." Kagome said.

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow at 11:00 am. I am glad you are feeling better. Hojo will be happy to hear that your doing better as well. Well good-bye and see you later." Emi said as she hung up the phone.   

Kagome hung up the phone and went to where her mom was "Mom, is there anything you need before I go up stairs and take a bath then study a little bit then go to bed because Eri and I are going to bake for my friends in the feudal era. I'm going to make Inuyasha's first because I want to make it special."

"No Kagome, that will be fine. Oh and tuesday could I get you to help with getting the cake and stuff set up so we'll have the party for your grandpa after dinner on that night?" Kagome's mother asked.

"Sure mom, I'll help. Well good night, see you in the morning." Kagome turned and walked to the stairs and was about to walk up when her brother came out of the family room.

"Sis, when is Inuyasha going to come and visit again?" Souta looked at her.

"I'm not sure now that his old girlfriend is back in the picture." Kagome said and Souta turned and went back into the family room and she went to her room and closed the door and walked into her bathroom that was attached to her room and turned on the water. Then went in and got a white night shirt. Then she went back in and turned off the water and took her bath. After she was done she got out dried off and emptied the tub then went to bed but she set her alarm to wake her up at 9:00 am so she can get dressed and eat breakfast and then make the special brownies for Inuyasha. So, she could wash the pan after they were done. Several hours later Kagome awoke with tears in her eyes because of the dream she had. "Oh Inuyasha, why!" Kagome sat up in bed and looked at her clock by her bed and it read 8:40 am. "Oh well, I might as well get up. I only have twenty minutes till the alarm goes off." So she pushed back the covers and swung her legs over the edge of the bed and turning off the alarm on her clock. She stood up and made her bed then walked over to her dresser and pulled a pair of sweat pants and the matching top and changed into them. "Well since, I'm going to be baking I'll take a few of my text books down to study till Eri comes." She grabbed her health and science books and went to her door and opened it and walked downstairs.

"Good morning, young lady! You're up early this morning." Her grandfather said as he lowered the newspaper.

"Yes, that's because I'm going to be doing some baking for my friends in the feudal era. Eri is going to be here at 11:00 am to help me. But before she comes I wanted to make the batch of brownies for Inuyasha first because I want to make them more special." She said as she dug the tins out and laid them on the table. Then went and found some tape to write on and made name tags for each tin "Ok let's see if I missed anyone! I've got Inuyasha, Shippou, Sango, Miroku, Kaede, Rin, Sesshoumaru, and a small tin for Jaken." She said looking over the tins "Yep I've got them all. Even though Sesshoumaru and Jaken will more than likely not eat theirs." Kagome said.

"So young lady, what day are you planning to go back?" Her grandpa asked. "I was thinking on staying till saturday but you know Inuyasha. So, I'll be going back on Wednesday morning." Kagome sighed as she reached into the cupboard and grabbed the large mixing bowl and the sack she hid in there. Then sat them on the counter. Then going over and got a double cooking pot. Taking the lower cooking pot and went to the sink and put water in it, and then turned and grabbed the sack then walked over to the stove. She put the smaller pot in the pot with water and sat it on the burner. Then she turned around and opened a box of brownie mix and put it in the bowl and mixed it. Once that was done she took it over to the stove and put the bowl on the burner. She turned on the oven to get it to preheat. When the oven was ready she put the brownies in and baked them till they were almost done.

"Now the brownie's have been in the oven and only had 10 minutes left. "Well I better make the chocolate frosting." She said as she turned on the burner to heat the water. "I hope you will enjoy these brownie's." She said to herself as she opened the nine boxes of exlax and put them in the top cooking pot and started melting them. As the exlax bars were melting the oven timer went off. So, she got a pot holder and opened the oven and took out the brownies and took them to the counter and put them down. Once the brownies were cooled then she went and got the exlax that was now melted and poured it over the brownies until all of the melted exlax was on the brownies. Then made it smooth with a butter knife. "Now, I'll let that cool. Now what time is it?" She looked at the clock "Cool, just in time. Eri should be here anytime." Kagome said as she walked to the dinning table.

"Mmmmm sis, the brownies smell real good." Souta said trying to sound hopeful.

"Thanks Souta, but no you can't have any!" Kagome gave him a evil look.

"Ok, you don't have to look at me like that." Souta ran out of the room. Just as the door bell rung. "I'll get it for you, sis!" He walked to the door.

"Morning Souta, is your sister up?" Eri asked. "Yes she's in the kitchen." He walked Eri to the kitchen.

"Kagome! It's been a while. You look great." Eri hugged her friend.

"Thanks so do you, Emi!" Kagome said as she cut up the brownies that were for Inuyasha and put them on one side of the tin that was divided into two sections. All the tins have two sections. Then she put the lid on so that they would not get mixed up.

"So how many batches do you have to make?" Eri looked at the tins.

"We still need to make six ad a half more batches. While they are baking we can do the chocolate covered fruit. We have the following fruits to dip and cover with chocolate and they are apples, bananas, cherries, grapes, oranges, strawberries, and some of each fruit, after they have chocolate all over them will be put in all these tins." Kagome told Eri.

"Ok, let's get started." Eri said. By the times all the baking was done it was 4:00 pm. "Wow, these gifts look so good. I hope the people you are going to give these two will like them." Eri told Kagome.

"Well, two of them are children around the age of seven years old. One of the children love chocolate alot and the other one, I don't really know that much about her. But I have a feeling she'll like the gifts really well. But the two that watch over her will probably not like me that well if the girl eats all this at one time." Kagome laughed at that thought.

"Eri ,would you like to stay for dinner then, we can drive you home so you could get things for school tomorrow?" Kagome's mom said.

"Sure, Miss Higurashi." Eri answered back. Then Kagome and Eri walked up stairs to Kagome's room. "So Kagome tell me, Why do you always flake out on Hojo, when Hojo asks you out? Are you seeing someone else?" Eri asked.

"I... AH... was seeing someone. But now, he's back with his old girlfriend and as far as Hojo is concerned. I just don't want to go out with him and be his girlfriend. He's nice and all but, Hojo is just not my type. I am not seeing anyone right now. Besides..." Kagome was cut off.  

"So what type are you looking for in a guy ,Kagome?" Eri asked.

"Someone who's mature and knows what he wants and keeps going after it to get it no matter the cost. Someone who has caring emotions even though to others you seem like a block of ice. Someone who is and would be loyal to the person he's with and not cheat with or go back to a old girlfriend. Someone who would protect the one with him with his life if need be. Someone who cares for your well being even though he don't like to show it being afraid other's would think he's weak." Kagome was now standing in front of her window. But turned around and looked at Eri. "Kagome, why would this person be afraid of showing he cares for someone?" Eri asked.

"Because in his mind he does not want to be seen as being weak for caring for humans or anything because he thinks someone could use that against him somehow." Kagome answered.

"Kagome, who is this person?" Eri asked.

"His name's Sesshoumaru." Kagome said.

"So, you have the hot's for this guy named Sesshoumaru do you?" Eri questioned Kagome.

When the question registered in her mind her mouth dropped open as she told herself 'I can't have the hot's for Sesshoumaru! He's tried to kill me and Inuyasha many times and he hate's humans all except for the little girl Rin.' Kagome thought to herself.

"Kagome, are you still with me? So you have the hot's for this guy right?" Eri asked again.

"Yes he's hot, but there would never be a chance to get with him because well we are like enemies. He hates his half brother whom I help out and whom you've met, and he hates humans even though he takes care of a little girl that's human." She answered Eri.

"What do you mean I've met his half brother?" Eri asked.

"Yes, you've met him. Remember when you met Inuyasha. The guy with silver-white hair, and wore red as well as wore a sword on his hip and had dog ears on his head! Here, I have a photo album some where, that has pictures of everyone." She looked around her room "Ah, I remember!" She walked into her closet and took the album off her top shelf." Here it is. Now, let's see." She said as she sat on the bed. "This is Inuyasha whom you met. This is Shippou, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Kaede, and this is Kouga, who thinks I'm his woman but I'm not because he has a girlfriend." Then Kagome stopped when she came to a picture that she still don't remember taking.

"Kagome, what is it? Who's that?"Eri asked.

"I don't remember taking this picture. It must of been either Shippou, Miroku, or Sango who took this. But this picture is Sesshoumaru." Kagome pointed to the picture.

"WOW, you're not joking when you said he's hot! You were right about him! Is that the little girl he watches over?" Eri looked over the picture.

"Kagome, Eri! Dinner time." Kagome's mother called up the stairs.

"We'll be down in a minute, mom." Kagome yelled down. Kagome closed the photo album and placed it back on the top shelf in her closet. Then Eri and Kagome went down stairs to eat. After dinner was done they drove Eri home. Now she was back home, she took out her school uniform, then got her books in order. She set her alarm clock to go off at 6:00 am. On tuesday, she was going to stay home from school to help her mother get everything ready to celebrate her grandfather's birthday. She was now in her night clothes and laying in her bed in the dark room. Well, somewhat dark since the moon's light was coming though her curtis. "I need to get all the lessons and the days for the exams so I can come back and take them." She said as she closed her eyes.
