~~ Authoress notes: Hello! How about the rest of you? Well I wish you all Happy holidays! Now here my newest chapter. Remember to review! Enjoy. ~~

{Chapter seven starts}

Sesshomaru as always woke before everyone else in the castle. Today was the day in which he started his winter patrol of his land. Rin, he would make sure would be taken care of here or he would place her in the southern part of his region since it was a little warmer there in the winter than their current position.

Rin had awaken also yet laid quietly on her futon. For the first time she didn't feeling barging into Sesshomaru's room, jumping in his arms, and ask him a dozen questions on what they were going to do for the day. She was still quite sadden over Shippo she thought about him all through the night, so now she wanted to play with the little kitsune more than anything. She wonder how long before Jaken or some other servant came and got her up.

Jaken: RIN! `Why do I always have to get that disgusting and disturbing human child! It now fair!' Where are you hiding now? Come out now! ` I know she hiding somewhere and is about to pounce on me.' RIN!

Rin sprang up from her futon and quickly dressed. It seems that something important today was going to happen. She also noticed the change in temperature as of late for it was getting a lot colder. Would it be to much for her to ask for some nice winter clothing from Sesshomaru-sama? She had hoped not. Jaken finally had lost all patience and slid the door opened to walk into an empty room.

Jaken: Rin! Where are…. ACK!

Just like almost every morning Jaken was rewarded by getting his morning hug or as, he saw it an attack by the little human witch. As shaking Rin off him and being some composer within himself. Though by now Sesshomaru had lost all patience all he had order that Rin was to be brought to him immediately yet he had been waiting in the study for minutes he knew she had been up almost as long as he had but had been oddly quiet.

Sesshomaru: Rin! Jaken! Follow me.

Jaken & Rin: Yes Milord!

He had smell the sadness in her scent and even though she had a happy face on it was still there. He couldn't understand why that young kitsune was so important to the girl. Did he put a spell on her? With an accursed monk, a demon exterminator, a young Miko, and that half breed Inuyasha there was no telling what that Kitsune could really do or what spells he knew of. Once in the study Sesshomaru took his seat in font of them. While they remained standing.

Sesshomaru: Rin, I shall be leaving to patrol my lands. It will be too cold for you to travel with me; therefore, you will either stay here, or I shall take you down to the southern castle. I shall let you chose where you wish to go. Understood?

Rin: Yes and Rin wants to go to the another pretty castle because it's too cold here near the sea.

Sesshomaru: (slight nod) Jaken you shall also be attending.

Jaken: Of course milord!

Sesshomaru: Rin, you need a bath and a proper breakfast call a servant. Jaken prepare Ah-Un we must leave before the snow starts to blow eastward. It's going to be a cold winter this year.

Rin: Yes Sesshomaru-sama!

Jaken: Aye milord this Jaken shall get everything ready!

As the two scurry off as happy as can be for Jaken thought because of the events of yesterday he was doom too spend the harsh cold winter here with Rin and three to four long months with the little witch would kill any demon like himself. Rin felt a little better she liked Sesshomaru's other castle a lot better than this one. She had only been there once; but it was a lot more rooms to run and hide in and it was a lot prettier being a little newer than the one there were all currently in.

This castle she concluded, was for the spring and summer months, because it was dark and shady and was also quite cool but it was getting a lot colder now that winter was coming. This was going to be her first winter with Sesshomaru-sama and she wished he wouldn't leave her. As a big, frown crept its way unto her face. Which once again Sesshomaru caught scent of and let out an inaudible sigh. How he wish she would give up that stupid fox. However yet another most unpleasant scent was coming up though a nice and evil smirk crept up on the demon lord face.

[Inuyasha's gang]

Miroku and Sango had nearly caught up with Inuyasha and Kagome thanks to Kirara. Sesshomaru's castle was coming into to view. Inuyasha let out a light growl he hated this place out of almost any other place in the world, for a number of reasons. Mostly cause Sesshomaru liked the placed and of course, he stayed in it. Kagome watch him with concerned eyes. She had felt as well as heard each and every growl as they kept getting louder and louder. (She's riding on his back.) Even Kirara ears started to perk up at the noise Inuyasha was making.

Miroku: At this point he may as well tear apart the front gates.

Sango: He might as well plowed though the side of it. He's being so obnoxious.

Miroku: Is he always.

Inuyasha: I CAN hear you BOTH!

Inuyasha did neither he simply jumped right over it and proceed in pounding the doors. Much to the guards dismay. Most of them knew who Inuyasha was anyway and knew that he was no longer under the spell place upon him by Kikyo. Sesshomaru had heard and smelled him long ago but kept his presence and scent hidden well. Making sure that Rin this time was out of the way started toward his "guests" so he could "welcome" them.

{At the door}

Inuyasha: Sesshomaru! Get your cocky ass out here now!

Kagome: Inuyasha giving it a rest what if he's not here.

Inuyasha: He's here all right! I know it! (Growling) Come out now Sesshomaru! Or…. Or I'll break down these damn doors!

Miroku: Inuyasha could you at least be a bit less…..

Sesshomaru: crude?

This bought a start and a gasp to everyone in the group. They had expect him to blast the door open with his sword and land a nice square punch in Inuyasha's face. Though even for Sesshomaru he was acting, too clam about all this, which freaked them out even more.

Inuyasha: (turning around) Sesshomaru!

Sesshomaru: (coolly) Yes, so why is it you have trespass into my lands once again?

Inuyasha: Listen you stuck-up, jackass of…..

Kagome: Inuyasha! Sesshomaru, do you happen to know where Shippo is? It would help us out greatly.

Inuyasha: (looking at Kagome like she lost her mind) Um this is Sesshomaru your speaking too remember?

Kagome: I KNOW THAT!

Sesshomaru: (crock one eyebrow up) And who is the Shippo that you are seeking again?

Inuyasha: (growling loudly) Our stupid Kit you dumbass! The one that you probably…

Kagome: Inuyasha! If you don't want to get embarrassed in front of your brother, I think you should let me handle this! (Eye twitching)

Inuyasha: like he going to listen too you! There only one to get him to talk and to get Shippo back and that's by force! (Takes out the Tessaiga)

Sesshomaru: if you insist to die dear little brother. (Turning his claws poison) Then come at me, make me tell you where your lost kitsune is. I like to see you try.

Inuyasha: As you wish. Kit Killer.

(SNAP)

Kagome: SIT BOY!

[Crash]

Inuyasha: (Growling) How…how…why… what's the hell is wrong with you Kagome? Are you out your damn mind? (His looks are a combo of shocked, angered, and hurt)

This was something new and amusing (for Sesshomaru) seeing Inuyasha fall face first into the ground just like a regular normal dog. Whimper under the young miko, so that is how she control him, and this is how she got his scent back to normal when Inuyasha transform into a near full demon. As the two started to quarrel among themselves giving Sesshomaru the time to think of any attack that could have killed them, however he chose to watch the young miko. As Sango, Kirara, and Miroku watched him (with giant sweat drops on there head) as well as Inuyasha and Kagome yell at each other. For she once again caught his interest.

Pitiful it seem his half-breed brother had obsession in getting caught into mikos spells. Though the angry aura the young girl was giving off wasn't something to take lightly of. She could almost kill him if she knew the full extend of her power. However, Sesshomaru knew the girl was still in training and didn't have the right control to try to take him down. However she almost had his silence respect this made nearly the third time that he saw such a strength in a human woman and all three it had been perform by her. He hoped that Rin would have the same inner strength as his brother's female companion. For she was the strongest in the group. Though his impatience was starting to show and wear off, he could have been left and been taking care of his land.

Sesshomaru: Unless you have anything more to say directed to me I suggest Inuyasha you take you soon-to-be mate and leave. I don't have your…

Inuyasha: MY WHAT!?! Listen you! (Face is about as red as his Kimono)

Kagome: (blushing) Shut up Inuyasha! Sesshomaru-sama just please tell me if you seen or have Shippo around here? If you do please don't kill him just send him back to me.

Sesshomaru: (coldly) I don't take orders or requests from any one especially from humans. I don't have you kit. Now leave my lands or I shall remove you all by force. For I can not stand your horribly scents any longer.

Inuyasha: No one talks to Kagome like that! Kagome I told you he wouldn't listen! I had it with you damn cockiness Sesshomaru! Prepare yourself Sesshomaru! (Whips out Tessaiga again)

Inuyasha flew at Sesshomaru before Kagome could even yell sit; however, she wasn't going too anyway. Sesshomaru was an even bigger jerk than Inuyasha! So full demon must mean full egotist too! As her thoughts lead to Kouga as well, so she could compare the two. Yup, it had to mean that. Inuyasha hadn't got not even one blow in as Sesshomaru once again blasted him away with the Tokijin, now he would have to order the eastern walls repaired due to the force Inuyasha applied when he smashed into them. Inuyasha was beyond livid now! Though each time he tried to used the wind scar Sesshomaru easily doge the attack or quickly blasted him away into another wall or gate.

Sesshomaru: Inuyasha give up and get out now. You have done enough damage to my land and property. I have no wish to kill you anywhere near my territory. I told you I don't have that Kitsune you call Shippo.

Inuyasha: (out of breath) Oh? Really? And why is that? Your fake little sword about to break?

Sesshomaru: Pitiful half-breed not only have you had yet hit me I do not wish to have you dying couprse stain my lands.

If it wasn't for the now lighter and improved Tessiaga Inuyasha would have gone into his berserk full demon phase and attempted to rip Sesshomaru to shreds. Growling heavily, he rushed up again matching Sesshomaru speed as he also came after him.

Kagome: Inuyasha!

Kagome and the other watched in straight horror as two blurs of red, white, and silver collided. As Inuyasha finally got a few hits in though had taken the worst of blows. However, another small figure watched in fear. She had came out of hiding once the inside of her secret room had shook she had thought of it as almost like an another earth shake. This of course was Rin would had to knock out Jaken to get outside. (A/n: I don't know if they really knew about earthquakes just yet and Rin little so she really wouldn't know anyway.)

Why was Sesshomaru-sama fighting his brother again? Why was the dirty dog guy yelling about Shippo? Did they lose Shippo? She hated seeing Sesshomaru fighting even if it was to protect her. He looks so big and scary almost like the wolves that had attack her. Shippo was lost and she had to help find him! She had to stop this anyway possible they would never find Shippo if Sesshomaru-sama killed his brother.

Rin: (rushing towards the two battling siblings) Stop! Sesshomaru-sama! Stop! Don't hurt the dirty dog man anymore!

Sesshomaru: (still eyeing down Inuyasha) Be still Rin! Don't come any closer!

Inuyasha: Ah, look your pet is calling you. (Still out of breath and bleeding almost all over)

Sesshomaru: Better to be the master than the pet. Unlike you Inuyasha, I don't have a collar around my neck.

Inuyasha let out a growl that made Rin fall to her knees; Inuyasha was one scary dirty dog man. Kagome was now more worried about the little girl safety knew that the two brother had to stop the fight. She didn't want innocent children watching such things. It bother her that Shippo had to watch such events like this but then he would remind her that he was a demon so it didn't bother him.

Rin: (crying) Please Inuyasha-sama don't scare Rin anymore! Leave Sesshomaru-sama alone now. Go take a bath and come back later. You're hurting Sesshomaru-sama's nose that's why you he's mad.

Inuyasha: What the fu…

Kagome: SIT BOY! Don't you use those words around this girl!

[BAM]

Kagome couldn't help but smile as she held Rin in her arms as Sesshomaru watch in coolness. Kagome had gotten to her before he found the guts to order her nearer toward himself. Rin clamed down as Kagome rocked her back and forth stroking her hair.

Kagome: My name Kagome, I'm Inuyasha, um, friend he's not as bad and smelly as you think. Don't worry Sesshomaru and he just have some sibling issues but they won't fight anymore I promise. `Not in front of you anyway.' (Ignoring Miroku and Sango)

Rin: Rin name is Rin. I don't want Sesshomaru-sama to be mad anymore. Where Shippo-chan? Kagome-Sama?

Kagome: He ran away Rin! We think he's trying to find you but we are going to try to find him.

Rin: Shippo not here yet. Rin wish he was though. (Determine look) Rin will help find Shippo-chan! With Kagome-sama and scary Inuyasha-sama!

Sesshomaru: Rin! Come here.

Rin popped out of Kagome's arms and rushed towards her Sesshomaru-sama though not before stopping near Inuyasha who was getting out his state of shock and slowing making his way towards his comrades. Rin nodding to Sesshomaru, who for a spilt second had a look of puzzlement on his face.

Rin: Inuyasha-sama?

Inuyasha: Don't call me that kid!

Rin: You don't have to yell at Rin my ears are fine. Can Rin ask you something?

Inuyasha: what is it?

Rin: Why do you smell so bad? Don't you take baths? You all bloody and beaten! Why do you fight Sesshomaru-sama knowing that you just going to get beat up? No one can beat Sesshomaru-sama! Why are your ears so fuzzy and pointy like a kitty cat? You clothes are dirty. Don't you wash you clothes? Don't you wear anything else? Are you poor? Don't you brush your hair? Why isn't it silky like Sesshomaru-sama? Its hard and mangy like wet dog fur!

Inuyasha: (Growling) Enough! Listen you! (About to pound her)

Sesshomaru: (sinking his poison claws into Inuyasha wrist) Touch one hair on her head and I kill you fast than you can let out a growl Inuyasha.

Rin: WOW! Sesshomaru-sama so fast! Rin didn't know you were this close. You save Rin's life again. (To Inuyasha) You a mean dirty mutt you should stop trying to hurt people and take a LONG bath! Cause this Rin thinks you really smell bad.

Inuyasha: What the? Did you stay with Kouga before you came running to Sesshomaru?

Rin: You shouldn't yell so much you breath smells bad too.

Kagome couldn't help it she had tried but the laughter just had to come out. This also held true for Sango and Miroku This child was so adorable! Almost like Shippo, no wonder Shippo wanted to be friends. It was no doubt in any of their mind once Shippo was found they would let the two be friends. Well everyone but the two Inus.

Inuyasha: I have enough of this crap! We going to find Shippo! Let go! (Limping away)

Rin: (pulling on his pants leg) Wait smelly Inuyasha you can't leave! Me and Sesshomaru-sama will help…

Sesshomaru: We will not do no such thing, this Sesshomaru is no search dog, I will not go looking for some lowly kitsune.

Rin: (The puppy dog face! ^^) But Sesshomaru-sama, Rin said before that Shippo-chan was her friend and Rin meant that. You said to forget about Shippo-chan but Rin couldn't do that. Now Shippo-chan is lost and Rin really can't forget about Shippo-chan cause he's in trouble. If you were lost this Rin would look for you cause your Rin bested friend too Sesshomaru-sama!

Sesshomaru would have hugged the girl tightly if the other hadn't been around and tried to give her the biggest smile he had. However, she only received a heavy sigh and a look of puzzlement. Curse it all perhaps for once Jaken was right the girl could be a witch in training and have taken over his mind. Though even the great and might ice king Sesshomaru couldn't denied such a face. Kagome and the others had been sold already by the girl's charm. Inuyasha was back into pure shock mode so it didn't matter what he thought.

Kagome: well it settled then, well all go look for Shippo then.

Miroku: Yes it appeared so.

Sango: I never thought this would happen.

Kirara: meow??

Sango: Kirara?

Miroku: I'm starting to sense….

Sesshomaru: wolves.

Inuyasha: (growling) Kouga's pack! Let's go back to the village!

Kagome: right!

Rin: Rin doesn't like the sound of this. Sesshomaru-sama? (Whimper)

Sesshomaru: Stay close to me Rin it will be fine.
