~Lies~

Sesshoumaru looked up from the scroll he was reading when a familiar scent caught his nose. Fear…but not just anyone's fear, no, it was Kagome's fear. Gracefully standing from the large leather chair he made his way to Kagome's room. He entered the room and the previously light scent was now overwhelming.

He swiftly went to her bed and watched as she thrashed in her silken sheets, the moonlight reflecting off her skin and adding a light sheen from her sweat.

She was having a nightmare, and, from the looks of it, a really bad one.

He moved to sit on the edge of her bed and lifted a hand to brush the hair out of her eyes. The moment he touched her, he was surrounded by a blinding violet light.

When he opened his eyes he saw Kagome fighting what looked like a lord. He wrinkled his brow in confusion. He must be hallucinating. The thing that confused him the most was that as they were fighting and arguing, neither seemed to notice his presence. So he did what anyone in his position would do…he eavesdropped.

“NO!” She yelled at the man. “I will never do what you want me to!”

The strange man chuckled and the sound made Sesshoumaru's skin crawl. This man was pure evil.

“You will do what you were born to do my daughter. You will serve your purpose for it is your destiny and that is something you cannot change no matter how hard you try.”

“Da…daughter?” She gasped

“That is right my dear, you are my daughter.” He smirked.

“But that's…that's impossible!”

“Yes those foolish elders believed that they could intervene and that they could change what fate planned. Your mother ran from me, the foolish woman ran, thinking she could escape me. A few yeas later I was informed about you. When I located her you were no where to be found and she would tell me nothing. The fool kept your location a secret until the end.”

“What…but how is that possible you could not kill my mother, she died during my birth like all humans do!” She shouted at him.

“Awe, so they have told you nothing of your origins then have they?' He asked, sounding disappointed.

“I don't understand what you mean,” she said as she took a step back from him.

“You are special my dear, your mother was not human. She was a nephilim, the daughter of an Archangel.” He said, disgusted.

“An archangel?” She whispered. “But how?”

Sesshoumaru took a step closer to the two wanting to hear more about this angle the man spoke of.

“Have they taught you nothing?” the man asked raising a single dark eyebrow “not all the angels that fell from heaven were warriors my dear, there were angels of every status that rebelled against our malicious creators.”

“But an archangel is meant to be the protector of nations and the creatures of earth” she said to more to herself than the man before her.

“Yes such a disappointment too, your grandfather was one of the many who later regretted the rebellion, he now is one of your precious elders. He also taught your mother to be protective of the ones here on earth, a duty she took very seriously” he said smiling wickedly “Yes she was a fighter till the very end; you get that from her you know? She never once backed down from a necessary fight.”

“My mother sounds like an amazing woman, how could you kill a person you loved like that and talk about it like it was…peaceful!” she demanded

“Love?” he laughed “I did not love her nor did she love me, she was a toy. I took her simply to teach her father his place. He wanted to rebel against me and my followers to show the Kami's above their sorrow and regret. He wanted to take from me what belonged to me and so I did the same.”

“You held her against her will?!” she exclaimed

“Yes and being the fighter she was, she escaped me soon after. It was later that I came a cross a seer and she told me about your birth and your destiny. I did not believe her at first so I sought out your mother. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the seer was correct; however I could not find you. I have been looking ever sense” he said as he held out his hand to her

“So come now my daughter, fulfill your destiny and together we will destroy this world and its unworthy inhabitants. We will rule with and iron fist and you, the most powerful woman in existence will sit by my side as you should have the day you were born”

“Never!” she yelled

“A fighter just like your mother” he sighed “You can not run from your destiny forever Kagome”

And with that he vanished and the gray clouded sky turned back to its brilliant blue and the once silent forest she was in came to life again with the sounds of animals.

Sesshoumaru was once again surrounded in a brilliant light and was once more on the bed beside Kagome, his hand still brushing the hair our of her eyes.

He removed his hand and shook his head, what in the hell just happened? At first he believed himself to be hallucinating but now he understood. He had somehow been taken into Kagome's own dream.

It seemed too real to be a dream however, and that deeply bothered him.

He looked at Kagome's sleeping form and was oddly comforted at the fact that she was now sleeping peacefully. He leaned down and lightly kissed her forehead and left the room.

He would ask her about her dream in the morning but most importantly he would ask her who that strange man in her dream was.

An angry yell was heard as anther large vase crashed into the tapestry covered wall.

“Now, now Yuma aren't we a little old for temper tantrums?” said a soft feminine voice.

“She denied me! Her own father! Ungrateful whelp!” he yelled as anther crash was heard.

“She is confused Yuma, she will come around” the voice assured

“And if she doesn't? Then what? We can not force her to do it! She has to do it of her own free will!” he bellowed as he sat in a large fur covered chair.

“Is that what the seer said?”

“Yes and she has foretold nothing but the truth so far so there is no reason to doubt her” he said in a calmer tone.

“Maybe we missed something. What exactly did she say to you?”

“She said my daughter would rid the world of the unworthy that walk the earth” he said “And she would do it of her own free will”

“I see” she said “where is this seer?”

“She…became one with the earth when she could not tell me the location of my child” he said grinning evilly.

“You killed her?” she asked

“Hn”

“What is your next course of action?” she asked

“We will intercept them on their way to the elders. I want her to know I am a reality and not just a vision. It will make her doubt the elders seeing how they have lied to her since birth. That may be just enough to bring her to our side.” He said “Oh how I wish I could see Alexander's face when he finds out his granddaughter has been visited by her father.”

“He will surly regret interfering with your plans my lord” she said

“Yes Kagura he will”

Kagome woke as the sun rose, her dreams about lord Yuma were coming more frequently and they seemed to be feeling more…real.

Last night she could feel the breeze on her skin and the warmth of the sun as the skies cleared.

She sighed as she pondered their conversation last night. Could she really be the daughter of her most hated enemy? Was her mother truly the daughter of an elder? If so that meant that she was of high ranking in the nephilim community.

She froze, is that why Yukio and Haru would not allow her to go and speak with the elders? Did they know? What about Adara and Kisho? Did they know as well? Is that why they were always around? To protect her or better yet keep an eye on her?

She felt her heart clench at the thought of her closest friends betraying her in such a way. She needed answers to her hundreds of questions.

She would go with Haru this time and talk to the elders, and she wasn't taking no this time as an answer.

Kouga walked the garden in the western palace as he read a report from his general. The location of his people was still a secret and everything seemed to be going well.

He sighted and couldn't help but feel upset at the fact that he left his people at a time like this.

No he did not abandon them, they were far more protected hidden in the western compound than anywhere else. Inutaisho had seen to that. Kouga had also asked his long-time companion for assistance and he had sent his daughter, Shiori, to assist. She was a kind, loving woman and had placed an unbreakable barrier around the compound.

No his people were safe and he needed to leave to fight the oncoming war. The war against a fleet of monsters they did not know how to fight. They needed help, they needed a plan. They needed a miracle.

“I don't care what you say I am going with you and that is that!” Yelled Kagome.

Haru looked at Adara and Kagome knew they were keeping something from her.

“What is it you guys aren't telling me?!” She bellowed.

“Kagome, it is not safe for you to travel to the elders. We are only looking out for your safety” said Kisho.

“That is a load of shit! You guys have been lying to me for years, don't you thing you could be honest with me for once!” she screamed.

“Wha!?” Adara and Yukio said in unison.

Kagome's eyes widened when she realized what she had just said.

“Kagome, what do you think we have been lying to you about?” asked Kisho carefully.

“About him” she whispered.

“Who?” asked Yukio.

“My father”

She smiled from her position in the bushes, so Yuma was able to penetrate her dreams huh? Good that will make her job lots easier, for when she learns her `friends' are really her protectors she will need someone to talk to and that is where she will come in.

A frown quickly replaced her smile as she remembered Kagome's other companions, they would surely get in the way.

No she could easily distract Inuyasha with Kikyo, that love serum will do nicely for that, and from what she could tell, they already cared for one another so the serum would work much faster and guarantee that it drew the two of them together. Causing both of them to become too busy for Kagome. She would do the same with Miroku and Sango.

That only left Sesshoumaru.

Her smile returned once again when she thought about Yuma's plan for him as she played with the pendent around her neck. Kagome was already worried about Sesshoumaru and herself, she could sense the jealousy coming out of Kagome the first time they met.

Yes she would use that emotion to her advantage and make Kagome believe Sesshoumaru betrayed her as well, for lust serum is a powerful think even for a lord.
