I have something to say before you read. KEEP YOUR DUMB FLAMES TO YOURSELF! They only prove to show how pathetic u are! I'll bet the only reason anyone posts those is that u can't write anything halfway decent yourself. I don't mind your criticism but flames are just pointless. After all this is only the second story I have written. I know it is not perfect, so I am open to ways I can make it better. Now, on to the story.

Disclaimer: The only character I own is Ashimi.

Chapter 7: gathering the troops

“Sango, do you think you could describe the man that attacked you?” Sesshoumaru asked the girl that was currently nestled in his lap. “If you can't that's fine. We have other ways we can find him.”

Sango snuggled further down into his arms. She had tried to push all of those memories out of her mind and so far she'd been doing a good job with it. She'd kept herself busy, playing with Rin or helping Ashimi most of the time and spending the rest of her time with Sesshoumaru. “I didn't see his face. He came up behind me and blindfolded me. I heard his voice though.” Her face darkened as she thought of him and Sesshoumaru tightened his grip on her.

“It is okay, I have plenty of information to find him with,” he told her reassuringly. At his words she relaxed more into his chest, `the sooner this nightmare is over the better,' she thought. “I need to go speak with Athrun. That gives you two choices. You can either come with me or come with me.”

“Hmmm,” she said as she scratched her head, “I think I'll go with you.”

He stood up and set her down before walking towards the door. Once out of his room, Sesshoumaru spoke to the first person he saw. “Tell Athrun that I need to speak with him in my study.” The young woman nodded and turned towards the kitchen where Athrun was eating lunch.

“Athrun, lord Sesshoumaru wants to talk to you. He's in his study.”

Athrun looked up from his lunch and nodded to the woman, stretching as he stood. “I'll be back Kagali. I'm pretty sure I know what he wants. This won't take long.”

Kagali nodded, “If I'm not here when you get back you know where to look.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Athrun entered the study and walked over to Sesshoumaru's desk. He was sitting in his chair combing Sango's hair with his hands as she sleep peacefully in his lap. Even though the girl was human, Athrun understood what Sesshoumaru saw in her. She had a strong spirit and always spoke her mind, not to mention she was very pretty. It had made him furious when he found out what that bastard had done to her. How anyone could do something so vile to someone so sweet was beyond him. Now as she slept peacefully in the arms of his lord he found he couldn't be happier for her. If Sesshoumaru hadn't been there, she might not have recovered from it. But he was there, and it didn't look like he was going anywhere soon.

“You wanted to talk to me?”

“Yes, I wanted to know what you were able to get from the room.”

“All I found was a piece of cloth that must have been torn from his robes. The scent is faint, but it is defiantly not yours, Sango's, or Ashimi's.”

“Good, we can track him fairly easy then.” Sesshoumaru looked down at his desk at the picture Kagome had brought him of her and Inuyasha's wedding. Getting an idea, he looked back to Athrun, “Go get my brother and his mate. We might need their help.”

“Sure, I'll get them here as soon as possible.”

Sess watched him leave then turned his attention to the sleeping girl in his arms. `I sure hope I am right about this.' After his wedding his brother had explained to him that Kagome was from 500 years in the future and that the well was her only link home. He could only hope her time would have something that could help him. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't realize that Sango had woken up.

“Hey there,” she said sleepily, “what'cha thinking about?”

He looked down at her and smiled, “I was thinking about how to catch this guy.”

“Oh, did u come up with anything?”

“I have an idea,” he said tightening his hold on her and kissing her forehead softly, “I have sent someone to get my brother. I think there might be something in his mate's time that can help us catch him.”

“Wait,” she said as she looked into his eyes curiously, “you know about Kagome?”

“Yes, my brother explained it to me.”

She nodded her head, “Well that explains it, when will they be here?”

“Sometime next week, I warn you though, my brother will most likely not approve of you staying here. He doesn't exactly trust me.”

“Well, then he'll just have to deal with it.” She wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled further into his chest. “I have no intention of leaving until you make me.”

“I will always want you here. Now, why don't we go get something to eat. That sound good to you?”

She smiled, “Yeah it does, I'm starving.”

A.N.- sorry bout the wait. I just started school again. So I only have time to write on the internet on the weekends.
