InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Past Thruths Present Fueds ❯ Guardian Star ( Chapter 2 )

Time seemed to fly in front of Kagome's face and then it stopped. Inuyasha had aged about a year and he sat on a ledge overlooking a pond, his tears fell silently and sent small ripples through the water. His mother knelt behind him and pulled him into a hug.

"Look into the sky Inuyasha. Do you see that star there shinning so bright? I call it Mikio. That is our guardian star. Whenever you feel alone just look at that star and know you are protected. Send up a spoken pray and you will know you are safe for Mikio will hear it and fight away your fears."

"But mama a star can't do that."

"This star can and will. Mikio is our brightest star and our protector. You will understand some day Inuyasha and I don't expect you to now."

His mother stood and left. She walked just inside the door and looked to her left. Two figures moved into the moonlight. Silver streaks proved Sesshomaru to be one but the Amber hair belonged to another person completely.

"You heard that I hope Mikio. I trust you will not let me down and prove to my son that he may trust in you."

Mikio stepped further into the light. Even though the girl could only be twelve or thirteen at the most she was beautiful. Her skin was light and her eyes glowed a light green. What really caught Kagome's eyes was that the girl's hair was the exact color of Inuyasha's eyes! They were the amber that almost caught fire when the sun hit it in just a certain way. She would be a beauty beyond compare when she was older.

Sesshomaru put a hand on Mikio's back and the girl slightly blushed. Kagome then saw that the two were in love. Probably always had been in love. That had to be the reason that Sesshomaru was there and why he wanted her to go with his father and himself earlier. Mikio raised her head though then and stepped away from Sesshomaru then.

"Yes my lady. I shall not fail you."

Sesshomaru bowed his head and seemed to be thinking over something rather distasteful to him when Mikio said this. It was obvious that Sesshomaru did not want Mikio there any longer than necessary. Inuyasha's mother nodded kindly and began to walk then stopped and turned to Sesshomaru.

"How do you fair son of my husband lord?"

"Well my lady. He misses you but dares not come to close. You are watched from afar always by him."

"You do not like me do you Sesshomaru?"

"I like you my lady but I cannot lie when I say that you have caused much grief for my father."

"And yourself. Am I not right Sesshomaru? You do have feelings for Mikio and I took her away from you."

"You were not the one who took her away that would be your husband and my father."

"Yes, well I hope that soon we may all be together again so that all ill thoughts towards us will end and we can be a family again."

"Yes. I must go now before anyone catches me here I would hate for danger to befall you while I am here. I could never forgive myself if anything should happen because of me."

"Thank you and goodbye Sesshomaru. Be safe and tell your father that I love him."

"I will."

With those parting words the world began to spin again and then stopped so very suddenly. Kagome grabbed her head to stop any dizziness from taking over. The sight before her was joyous. Inuyasha and his mother were packing their things and Sesshomaru stood next to the door looking out every few minutes to make sure no one was aware of what was happening. Sesshomaru looked to be around the age of a eighteen year old and Mikio ran in through the back wearing all black. Her outfit hugged her body and she stopped in front of Sesshomaru panting.

"Their…hhh…thei…hhuu…coming!"
