[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Inu/FL: both are tied up and sitting in FL’s living room “Let us go!!”

Sess: “Not until you tell me why you are here!”

FL: rolls eyes “Well that’s a stupid question. We’re here because you tied us up and brought us here duh!”

Sesshomaru’s eyes rim red

Inu: quakes in fear “Oh, crap, you’ve done it now!!”

Sess: “That is not what This Sesshomaru meant and you know that. Now tell me what This Sesshomaru wants to hear. NOW!”

FL: sticks tongue out at Sess “Not until you untie me and say pretty please.”

Inu: looks at FL “Hey! What about me?”

FL: “Oh yeah, you’ll have to untie the hanyou as well as me.”

Inu: in an offended tone “Hey! I thought we had gotten past the whole hanyou thing!”

FL: sighs “Fine. You’ll have to release Inuyasha before I will tell you anything.”

Sess: smirks “Is that your wish? Then so shall it be.” releases Inu but not FL

FL: “Hey!!”

Kags: sighs “FL, now known as Lady of the Midnight Mists, doesn’t own anything about Inuyasha except this storyline and all original characters. Enjoy the chapter...”

The three older girls traded looks before picking themselves and running over to Rin, laughing, and smothering her in an enormous group hug. “Welcome to the family!” Kari cried joyously.

“You really are our sister now!” Dilynn said delightedly.

Just then, the bushes rattled and an evil presence nearly flooded the area.


As the bushes rattled, Kari, Casey and Dilynn collected themselves and stood in front of Rin. Lined up in front of them stood Will, Match, Any and Speed; as well as Valentine and Annie along side the horses. At the front of the entire group stood Sesshomaru and Jaken.

Kari looked all around the clearing, trying to spot her Lord. “Yoo-hoo, My Lord....where are you?”

A soft voice filled the clearing for a moment. “I will always be with you. Remember that. There are some trials, though, you must face without my intervention. I will always be here, you may not see me or sense me but I will be here...”

“Well, that wasn’t much of a goodbye,” Casey humphed.

The evil aura that had flooded the clearing was growing stronger by the second. So strong was the aura that neither Sesshomaru, nor any of the girls, sensed the ever increasing pure aura on the edge of their senses.

Out of the bushes popped one of Naraku’s puppets. (A/N: I think those are called shikigami, but I’m not sure...Why not?...Well, its been a while since I watched the show, so I don’t remember all the technical terms and all. For now, we’ll just stick with puppet.) It looked almost exactly like Naraku, except the area under the monkey’s top jaw where a face would’ve shown was black.

That’s the giveaway flaw in his puppets, Dilynn thought wryly. That and the fact that the aura is much, much weaker than what Sesshomaru said it would be...So I think I’ll have a little fun with this stupid thing.

Clearing her throat, Dilynn stepped to the front of their little group. “I believe I can handle this one,” she proclaimed confidently.

Sesshomaru shot her a look that clearly said to not interfere. She blew it off. “Oh please, do you really think me that hopeless? Me the last Lady of Dreams? Pshaw.”

Sesshomaru grabbed her arm and wheeled her back around to face him. His face was set in stone and his voice carried that to another level. “You will not face the puppet. This Sesshomaru will not let you.”

“Getting a little uppity again aren’t we? Let’s do a quick head count here. I defeated that...monster...in my time. I’ve bespelled Inuyasha. And I have the power to fight without physical contact. I can be anywhere within a 3 mile radius of someone and bespell them. I don’t even have to see them, just have their face in my mind. I think I am qualified enough to fight this puppet. Watch and see for yourself.” She wrenched from the Taiyoukai’s grasp and, lifting her flute, began to play a song from her childhood.

The notes flowed smoothly together as she wove her spell. The tune was one that Kari and Casey knew well. They could barely suppress the laughter in their voice.

Dilynn stopped playing for a moment and began to sing. Her voice unnaturally smooth.

The puppet stopped in mid-stride, seemingly fixed to the spot.

The puppet slowly began to march in place to a one-two-one beat.

The puppet began to march in a circle around the clearing as the three older girls collapsed in a pile of laughter. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes slightly and snorted at the antics of the young girls.

Out of nowhere an arrow loaded with pure miko energy emerged and, flying through the air, lodged itself in the puppet. Within a blink of the eye the puppet exploded, sending bits of baboon pelt and some type of wood in all directions. Kari, Casey, Rin and Jaken hit the dirt while Sesshomaru grabbed Dilynn and jumped high into the air.

Dilynn yipped and clutched tightly to Sesshomaru’s form. She may be able to fly in her true form, but noone had said anything about being able to in her human form. She watched from her vantage point as her cousins and the others hit the dirt. She also noticed a lone figure emerge from the bushes and walk towards the remains of Naraku’s puppet.

She looked up to Sesshomaru as she felt his arm tighten around her and his entire body stiffened. His face was hard and his eyes held a slightly annoyed spark to them. He looked down at her face and held a finger to his lips, quietly signaling her to do the same. She nodded and held on tighter as he slowly and gracefully lowered himself to the ground. He ended up right behind the young woman.

“What is it you want, miko?” Sesshomaru said in his monotone, although this time it wasn’t as mono as before. Instead, it held a slight note of annoyance and, surprisingly, mischief.

The girl before them jumped and spun around. Her short green skirt twirling with her. She noticed the skirt and quickly clamped it down to her side with her hands, blushing like mad.

Dilynn disentangled herself from Sesshomaru’s arms and punched him lightly in the shoulder. “Her name is Kagome, Ka-go-me. She’s not just a miko, she’s a human being you know,” Dilynn said.

Kagome smiled and nodded her thanks.

Sesshomaru glared at Dilynn for the assault on his person before turning back to Kagome. “What is it you want, Kagome?”

Kagome looked bashful and turned her face to the ground. “I was wondering if you would allow me to travel with you...” she trailed of quietly.

Sesshomaru was surprised but showed nothing, his face and eyes once again impassive. Dilynn, however, was not so hard to read. Concern for her friend spread across her face. “What’s the matter? What happened to Inuyasha? I thought you two liked each other?”

Kagome sniffed and held back tears. “I caught him with Kikyou again. He was with her when I came back from my time. She asked him if he loved me or if he felt anything for me at all. He said no, that he didn’t love me. That he only saw me as a jewel detector,” her voice broke and the tears flowed freely down her face.

“Who is Kikyou?” she asked confusedly.

“She is an undead miko,” Sesshomaru sneered. “Fifty years ago Inuyasha and Kikyou were in love. Inuyasha was to wish on the Shikon no Tama to become fully human. The jewel would disappear and Kikyou could return to a normal life. Then, Naraku entered and pitted the two half-wits against each other. He mortally wounded the miko, but before she died she pinned Inuyasha to a tree with a sacred arrow. Three years ago Kagome came and released him from the tree.”

“How do you know so much about his life?” Kagome questioned with wide eyes.

“I make it my duty to know what happens to him. My father told me to keep an eye on him, i will obey my father's wishes even after his death,"
