I walked back into the livingroom with my father's cup of coffee. My Father was now sitting next to my guest, he wore a serious expression on his face. Both were so wrapped up in their conversation that they had failed to notice me walk into the room. I looked back at my father and smiled lovingly at him. 'It is good to see him talking to people again.' Then it hit me, something was not right.

I looked to Sesshoumaru then back to my father, my jaw dropped open from shock. There on my father's face was what was out of place. He had two blue stripes on both his cheeks, on his forehead the was a black half moon with a single white star. The coffee mug slipped from my hands and fell to the floor. Startled my father turned and looked at me, fear consumed his features.

"Wh...what did you do to your face?" I asked with a trembling voice.

He reached up to touch my arm in a feeble attempt to comfort me and I jerked away from him. "Answer me." The statement had a low guttural growl behind it.

My father snapped back in surprise, then anger quickly filled his eyes. Sesshoumaru's energy around him became violent and he went to stand when a hand on his arm stopped him. My father sent him a glare in warning and Sesshoumaru inclined his head, sitting down in the process. The tension in the air thickened to the point I was finding it hard to breathe. Slowly my father turned his head back to look at me. The look in his eyes sent chills down my spine as my anger was consumed by my fear.

"Listen here young lady, last time I checked I was your father. Do not question me again and if you ever act like that again...so help me little girl."

Tears filled my eyes when he turned his back to me and grabbed his stuff. He shot me one last glare before he turned to my guest. "I am sorry you had to see that. I need to ask a favor of you, Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru smirked, "What can I help you with?"

"I need a place to stay untill I can cool off. I was wondering if you would mind having me over?"

"I have a spare room you can stay in and I will make sure that my idiot brother does not bother you." He stood and motioned to the door, "Shall we be on our way then?"

Through the tears in my eyes I looked at Sesshoumaru then to my father, neither returning my glance. "But daddy..." Before I could finish his hand went up to silence me. Without a glance or a word spoken, both my father and Sesshoumaru took their leave. I collapsed on the couch consumed by my tears. All thoughts of the coffee staining my carpet and the strange markings on my father's face forgotten.

From behind the bushes a shadow watched as the two men drove off. It smiled, 'The bosss isss going to be so pleased with me.' Quickly it moved away from town, moving from shadow to shadow taking great care not to touch where the setting sun's rays touched. Reaching the forest on the edge of town it quickened its pace. The canopy of trees provided enough shadows for it to use its full speed.

She heard the door open but didn't see anyone enter, smiling to herself she pretended not to notice. Just when her visitor was about to reach her she spoke causing him to jump. "Well, little cretin, did you get the information I asked you to get?"

The shadow demon looked at the woman he lusted after. She was sitting on a plush purple chair, her legs drapped casually over the arm of it. Some of her waist long ebony hair had fallen over the front of her shoulder. She turned and looked in his direction. Her snow white skin made her storm cloud grey eyes seem to penetrate his soul.

"You will do well to stop staring at me like that and answer me." she hissed.

"Yesss bosss, my apologiesss bosss."

"Well?" she asked growing impatient with him.

"I have good newsss to bring you. It seemsss she did call her father and he did come. It isss just like you said."

"Good, so he is there now?" She stood up and made her way over to him.

"No, he left..." He felt a hand go around his throat. He could see the energy glowing black from her hand out of the corner of his eye. The shadow demon let out a blood curdling scream as the fleshy tissue around his neck began to burn away from the power.

She removed her hand from his neck and strolled back over to her chair. Sitting back down she looked at him again. "Do not forget that I can destroy you with merely a touch. This news you bring me better please better than it has so far."

He wasted no more time in telling her the rest for fear of death. "It seemsss he hasss left with Lord Sesshoumaru himself." He quickly backed further into the shadows when anger flickered through her eyes.

"Very good, Kageboushi, I have another assignment for you. Keep an eye on Phil and Sesshoumaru. I will go tend to Sethia." She felt him leave the room then she got up to get her keys and purse. She clicked her tongue at her thoughts. 'Dear sister, Sethia, what am I going to do with you keeping such distasteful company?'

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Sesshoumaru and Phil arrived at the loft. He unlocked and opened the door. Walking through it he cam face to face with a very pissed hanyou.

"Bastard!" Inu Yasha growled, "I told you I was going to go check on her when I got home."

"Now, Inu Yasha, what makes you think that is where I was?"

"You have her scent all over you, you bas..." Finally noticing the man that had walked in behind his brother he stopped his advance. "Who the hell is that and what in the hell is he doing here?"

Phil smirked, "This must be your brother, Inu Yasha."

Sesshoumaru nodded the proceeded past his brother to the hall. "Let me show you where you will be staying."

Phil followed Sesshoumaru down the hall to his room, leaving a still very confused hanyou in the livingroom. Sesshoumaru walked up to a closed door in the hall turning to his guest he opened it. "This will be your room while you stay." Pointing to a door in the room, "That is your bathroom, now I will leave you to get settled in."
