+++Chapter 11+++
++Mystery unveiled++
Inuyasha and Kyasha had reached her house just as the ambulance did. Two men, obviously paramedics, ran inside with a stretcher and came rushing out immediately again with someone lying on top of it.
“What's going on here?” Kyasha yelled out as she ran towards the disturbance.
“We're just taking this woman in; she's suffering from a heart attack. Who are you, are you related to the woman?” He asked. Kyasha looked down at the woman and her she gasped to see her mother unconscious.
“Yes, this is my mother; if you're sending her to the hospital then I'll come as well.” She demanded.
“Of course, get in…” One of the two men stated.
“Inuyasha, I've gotta go, will you come to the hospital, you're not able to ride in the ambulance, but will you meet me there?” Kyasha asked.
“Yeah, I'll be there, but be careful.” Inuyasha said as he left again towards the hospital. Kyasha jumped into the ambulance and they took off. She was now sitting in the back of the vehicle looking over her mother, her heart monitor was steady but it sped up a few times before they reached the emergency room.
Kyasha had entered the `waiting room' and waited to see if her mother was going to be alright. Just then Inuyasha walked in with Kagome trailing behind.
“Oh, Kyasha, are you alright?” Kagome asked as she sat beside her and gave her a hug.
“Yeah, I'm fine, they haven't updated me of her state, all I know is she's in ER and she had a heart attack by some sort of stress-like situation, I don't get it though, what would cause this to happen? She's never been a stressful person…” Kyasha explained.
“Look kid, things happen for reasons, we just have to wait, okay?” Inuyasha encouraged in his own way.
“What Inuyasha is trying to say is that your mother will be fine, heart attacks usually aren't fatal. If it's just from stress then she should be fine.” Kagome explained as she glared at Inuyasha.
“I know, what I'm worried about is what caused it.” Kyasha stated but they were all distracted when a doctor walked in.
“Tanaka, Kyasha?” He asked as he glanced at his clipboard.
“Yeah, I'm her, is my mother alright?” She asked as she stood up.
“She's fine, but she wanted me to come get you, she needs to tell you something. She's resting in room 317.” The doctor stated calmly.
“I need to go.” Kyasha said to Kagome and Inuyasha signaling for them to wait here for her.

Kyasha found the room, no problem, but when she walked in, she was shocked when she looked at her mother. She had so many needles and AIV's in her it made Kyasha sick to her stomach.
“Mo...Mother?” Kyasha stuttered.
“Kyasha…come here.” She said as gently as she could, and Kyasha admired that.
“Are…are you gonna be alright?” Kyasha asked.
“I'll be fine…I need to tell you something.” Her mother stopped as a coughing fit hit her. Kyasha held her mother's hand tight and waited for it to pass.
“Mother, you shouldn't be up, you should be getting rest, you need it.” Kyasha stated.
“No, I need to tell you now…Kyasha, you're…you're adopted.” Kyasha's world went crashing down. She was WHAT?!
“Wh…I...I don't understand.” Kyasha stuttered as she held her hand on her forehead to control this sudden urge to gag. Bile rose in her throat, but she continued to swallow it, waiting to her more from her, now adopted, mother.
“I'm sorry dear, but you are… you're not my child…your real name is…Kyasha…Izayoi.” Kyasha froze.
“What's my name?” Kyasha stuttered.
“Yes, Kyasha…your real parents are…sitting out there waiting for you…that Inuyasha fellow is your real father, and his wife is your biological mother…I'm sorry you had to find out this way….I'm so…so… sorry.” And with that her mother fell into a deep sleep from her medicine.
Kyasha just stood there, jaw hanging open. It was slowly making sense to her. How she felt around them, comfort and happiness, and why she was a hanyou and her family, the one she thought was hers, was only human. She wanted to scream, she wanted to laugh, she didn't know what to do, she was overwhelmed with emotions that the only thing she did was run, she ran out of the room and ran out the hospital. She had to leave; this place brought back her thoughts, her feelings, and her family.

“What's taking her so long?” Inuyasha grumbled. Kagome ignored him; that was his one-hundredth time asking that, she just sat there and read a magazine.
“You know this is important, or else her mother would allow us to come with her.” Kagome explained again.
“Yeah, yeah…whatever, I don't know, something just doesn't feel right?” Inuyasha said. “Wait…” He stopped as did Kagome and he began to sniff. “Kyasha….I can't smell her, she's left the hospital.” He looked at Kagome and they understood, he grabbed her and threw her on his back as they too, left the hospital. Inuyasha noticed something else as well, she had the same scent as Kagome, not identical, but they were definitely similar. He also realized that she was moving very quickly, which made him realize that she must have taken her necklace off and was now running as fast as she could as a hanyou. He picked up speed, hoping he'd catch up to her.
“Inuyasha, what do you...Oww!” Kagome started to say, but a pain in her neck stopped her. “Inuyasha, stop, its Myouga.” Inuyasha growled but he stopped and let Kagome down.
“What is it Myouga, we don't have time.” Inuyasha mumbled, still trying to pick up Kyasha scent.
“I know you two are looking for Kyasha, and I must tell you something, the reason she left the hospital without telling you…” Myouga started.
“What is it, why wouldn't she stop and tell us why she was leaving?” Kagome asked.
“It is because her mother…or should I say her `adoptive' mother, told her that was in fact adopted.” Myouga said.
“Oh my, that's horrible, we have to find her, and she's probably…” Kagome said but was interrupted by Myouga again.
“No, that is not all that ails the young girl. She was also informed of who her parents are.” Myouga added.
“Who are they? Who could put their own kid up for adoption, its sick.” Inuyasha yelled.
“Her parents…the `bad' parents you speak of, are none other then you two.” He said.
“What!?!” Kagome and Inuyasha said in unison. “What didn't you…you knew all along?” Inuyasha yelled. Kagome was hysteric, she began to cry, all those nights of wondering and worrying, she never would have guessed.
“You need to find her, she's just as freaked out as you are, she's vulnerable right now, and she's in danger.” Myouga stated.
“What do you mean, in danger, what's happened to her?” Kagome asked.
“Her youkai blood is strong right now, when Sesshoumaru poisoned her, a small amount of his youkai blood mixed in with hers, enough to make her own blood stronger, now with every emotion she has, they become more and more stronger, so if she's suffering from anger or feeling lost, she could be changing as we speak. You must hurry or it may be too late.” Myouga said as he hopped onto Inuyasha, he was already on his way.
“Hold on, we need to hurry.” Kagome and Myouga held on for dear life as Inuyasha ran as fast as his feet could carry him.

Kyasha had been running for hours now. She never stopped, but now she was feeling it, she sat down for a moment, to rest, she had no clue where she was now, but she didn't care.
“Why?” She asked herself for the millionth time. She was feeling very dizzy, but she still had to keep going, she didn't know where she was going, she had no destination. Just then she felt her heart beat faster.
“What the…” Was all she could say as everything went black; everything seemed to fade out as her heart beat seemed to get louder. `Oh shit…' She thought. Then she froze as she started to hear growling, she looked around to see where it was coming from, but then realized it was her making the grunts and groans. She gasped as she heard a voice in her mind, it was low and growling.
`Feed…must feed…blood.' It mumbled.
`What? Who…who are you? What do you want?' Kyasha asked. She lost it, she held her head in her hands as her growling progressed and she felt like exploding.
`Feed…hungry, blood.' Kyasha was scared; she had never been scared in all her life. Her vision was now becoming blurry, but she saw a ray of light.
`What is that?' She saw silver…silver and red. But then everything went black as Kyasha hit the ground, unconscious.

Inuyasha decided to leave Kagome and Myouga back at a small camp site, Kagome wanted to come, but he demanded that she stayed. If Myouga was correct, Kagome wasn't going to want to see her daughter like this. He was afraid, afraid that his own daughter, Kyasha, was experiencing this pain, he knew she was since her scent had started to change and become stronger. He sprinted through the forest, running with all hope that Kyasha was safe.
He jumped through a small bush and found himself staring at Kyasha, kneeling on the ground with her head in her hands. She was growling like there was no tomorrow. He moved toward her. But she looked up and he gasped, he eyes were beet red, and her fangs and claws were growing. Inuyasha took a deep breath and bolted over to her, he grabbed but she clawed at him, hitting him dead center in the chest, her claws were so sharp that they dug deep into his flesh.
Inuyasha gasped as he became dizzy with the loss of blood, but he grabbed Kyasha and hit her in the neck, knocking her unconscious. As she fell to the ground, her eyes turned to their usual golden, and her claws and fangs retracted. Inuyasha sighed in relief but gasped as another wave of pains hit him from his bloody chest. He couldn't handle it, as he too, fainted to the ground.
Both Father and daughter lay on the cold ground, unconscious.

“I hope they're alright.” Kagome pleaded for the fiftieth time.
“We must stay here, Lord Inuyasha said so.” Myouga reminded.
“Since when have I listened to my mate…?” Kagome asked. She sat up and began to walk into the forest. But she was stopped when a tall figure stood in her way. “Who are you….Sesshoumaru?”
“My brother has left his mate unprotected again, pathetic.” He stated.
“Sesshoumaru we need you to find Inuyasha, he might be in trouble.” Kagome said ignoring his first comment.
“I don't care about what my brother does with himself; he could kill himself for all I care.” Sesshoumaru explained.
“Then why are you out here in the middle of the forest?” Kagome yelled.
“It is none of your business is to why I am out here.” He said as he entered the forest once again.
“I believe he's going after Lord Inuyasha.” Myouga said. Kagome nodded with a smile on her face.

It had been what seemed like hours, Inuyasha had finally started to show signs of consciousness. His eye lids were heavy, his breathing patterns were scrambled. He thought he wasn't going to be able to sit up. But he did, and was now sitting in front of a fire he had made, waiting for his daughter to get up. He sat there, staring into the fire; deep in thought.
`Wow…' He thought. `This…entire time, she's…my daughter, my child.' Inuyasha was confused, how could he not know this? He had been sitting there for what seemed like hours, Kyasha hadn't moved a muscle. He didn't hit her that hard, did he? Just as he thought that he heard a rustling in the bushes beside him. He stood and got his claws ready.
“Inuyasha, put those away, you're in no condition to fight me.” Sesshoumaru said as he stepped out of the trees.
“Sesshoumaru, what do you want?” Inuyasha growled.
“I'm here to see my niece.” Sesshoumaru said with a smirk. Inuyasha mumbled something but he didn't hear it. “By the way…I'm guessing she tried transforming?”
“What's it to you?” Inuyasha said.
“Well, I'm here to explain why that it is…that her blood is stronger, more specifically her youkai blood.” Sesshoumaru stated calmly.
“Well, what is it? What do you know?” Inuyasha yelled.
“Patience Inuyasha, what I want to say is important, I'm having Myouga do something about this, but nothing has happened yet.” Sesshoumaru glanced up at the moon that was just coming up, but then something caught his nose. He looked down, and so did Inuyasha. They both were shocked to see Kyasha changing, her hair turned black, her claws and fangs vanished and her scent changed, Inuyasha's doubts about being related to the girl were changed, her scent changed to be identical to Kagome's as her human form showed.
“So, her night of vulnerability…is on the night of the first quarter moon.” Sesshoumaru stated.
“What were you going to say…about Kyasha's blood?” Inuyasha said, changing the subject.
“Yes, what I was going to say was, when I attacked Kyasha instead of you, by accident, I transferred some of my blood into hers. Therefore, mixing our blood.” He added. “Her youkai blood is now stronger because of it, and now that it is, she is more vulnerable to her own youkai blood.”
“So, is there anything we can do to reverse it?” Inuyasha asked, obviously in deep thought.
“No, it's irreversible, but that's what Myouga's trying to do, he's talking to Totosai and try to make another sword, like yours, that will protect her from this.” He informed. Sesshoumaru stood up and got ready to go. “I need you to bring me the girl after she's been told who exactly she is; you need to tell her who you really are.” And then with that, he was gone, leaving a bored hanyou sitting there waiting for his daughter to wake up.
`What does he mean by telling her who she is? Does he mean tell her about the well?' He thought about this, but another sound brought him back. He looked over and he saw Kyasha's eyes opening.
“You're awake.” He said. He had no clue what to say, would she run off again? Would she hate him, or her adoptive mother? She sat up slowly, holding her head.
“Where am I?” She asked.
“You're in the middle of a forest, you ran away when your mother told you the…information.” He looked at the fire, and waited for her to be ready to talk.
“So…you're my…father?” She asked. Still trying to figure this out for herself.
“I guess so, I just heard this news from Myouga.” He added.
“Myouga? You mean another person who lies to me.” She mumbled. She looked at her hands and gasped. “I completely forgot tonight was the first quarter moon, god another thing to worry about.”
“It's alright…I know how you feel, my night is the night of the new moon.” He explained.
“Oh, that's not too far off. Where's…do I call her mother now?” She asked, Kyasha was so confused about what or how to take this.
“Yeah, if you want to...we're not going to push ya.” Inuyasha reassured.
“Thanks…this isn't going to be easy.” Kyasha added.
“Yeah, umm, there are some things me and your…mother, have to tell you, only when you're ready though, we have some things we really need to tell you about ourselves.” Inuyasha said.
“Okay, maybe when we get home, this ground isn't very comfy.” Kyasha said. Inuyasha smirked.
“Come on, let's go get your mother, we have to pick up Daitan to, we left him at his…I mean your grandmother's.” Inuyasha said.
“Okay…” Kyasha said as she jumped on her father's back and they ran through the forest to her Kagome and Myouga.
`This is going to take some getting used to.' Kyasha thought to herself, as she rested her cheek on Inuyasha's back.
Inuyasha smiled, he couldn't believe his little baby girl, the one he and Kagome had lost years ago, was back with them. She was all grown up, and she looked so much like her mother, he wouldn't admit that she looked completely like her father.
`This is going to be different; I wonder how Daitan will take to having a sister…' He grinned again. Kyasha was now asleep as she rode on her father's back through the forest of the night.
