Well here's the newest chapter hopefully it was worth the wait. Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Escaping, Questions, Apologizing, and Who could it be?

The woman read and read the message over and over again. "Oh dear god, I must hurry."

"Ayame! Come quick and bring Shippo."

Seconds passed before a beautiful redheaded woman appeared she had piercing green eyes and a cheerful enough smile and in her wake followed a smaller boy who looked very muck like her.

"What is it mama?" Ayame asked as her mother filled her arms with a pile of clothes. "Change into this you'll be able to run faster if yer dressed like a lad."

"Wot's going on mama?" Shippo asked.

"I will explain while Ayame get ready."

Both children listened eagerly as the mother told them of the horrors heading their way. "And this is why ye must hurry."

Ayame finished dressing with haste; once she was fully attired her and Shippo followed their mother out to the horse. "Mama there is only one horse."

The woman smiled sadly, "I know this loves."

Ayame understood what her brother had failed at comprehending. "I shall love ye forever mama." Ayame said. "Shippo get on we must go."

As Ayame went to climb on the horse's back her mother grabbed her. "Take this." Ayame turned around and gazed down at the only piece of jewelry her mother owned it was a beautiful necklace with a rare stone in it. "Ye have weapons right?"

Placing the necklace around her neck Ayame hoped on the horse's back behind Shippo. "Aye, we both do."

"Alright then God's speed my loves."

"God speed mama." Ayame dug her heels in the horse's sides forcing him in to a hasty gallop. She forced her tears back because now more than ever she was certain she'd never see her mother again.

"Sister where are we going" Shippo asked.

"I'm not sure sweetheart."

***

Deirdre watched as her children galloped off and away from this horrible place.

She turned her back and reentered the small hut and begin to act as if all was alright. She stiffened when her door was kicked in and three very bulky men stood before her.

"How may I help ye?" She asked trying to describe the malice in her voice as sweetness.

Robert the tallest one of the men stepped forward. "Where's that mouthy little wench daughter of yers?"

"She and Shippo left early this morn."

Robert stared at her for a moment. "Oh well we can use ye until she comes home."

She decided she wouldn't even try to play stupid. "Do ye plan to kill me after yer done?"

"Not me but one of the many men ye'll service tonight may."

Deirdre held back a sob when she saw her husband being brought in. He had been severely beaten, but before she could runt to him she was being pushed onto her stomach and her skirts were being lifted, and only seconds later a mon slammed forcefully into her uncaring of the cries of pain she made, and caring even less for her discomfort.

Thankfully for her all when black and soon after she past out.

***

"So yer telling me that yer not my fither, and that yer brother is?"

Inuyasha nodded vigorously eager to chase after his wife and clear up any misconceptions.

The boy seemed to study him a little while longer as if he could read the truth in his words by staring at his face.

"I guess I have no choice but to believe ye until yer brother, the Laird returns."

Inuyasha stared at the boy for a moment longer. "Get some more rest we'll talk more on this situation later."

"Aye now that ye mention I' am a bit tired." The slurred.

Turning to leave Inuyasha suddenly stopped and turn toward the injured boy in the bed. "Lad what is yer name?"

The boy stirred enough to murmur out his name. "Payton…Payton Conner McCloud MacEnroy."

When the boy feeling back into his slumber Inuyasha stepped out of the room closing the door behind him with a soft click.

"Tis one hell of a name to have."

***

Sango was nervous to say the least as she made her way out to Miroku small home that was a small ways from the Keep.

Traveling through the village she gave a friendly smile to every passerby and in return they to smiled.

Once she came the out skirts of the village she spotted Miroku small home that he and his daughter shared.

She heard laughter as she approached the cottage, and she smelled food. Rethinking her plan she began to turn around and retreat only collide into the solid wall of Miroku's chest.

When she began to waver his arms came up automatically to steady her. "What are ye doing here lass?"

Sango felt safe in his arms and was grateful that he didn't automatically drop his hands to his sides. "I came to-." She paused abruptly when she looked up only to see that Miroku was staring off in a different direction than down at her.

"What are ye staring at?" She asked plainly.

Miroku's hands itched to go lower but his stilled them obediently on her waist he remembered what happened last time he touched her. "I'm not looking at ye like you requested, remember?"

Sango had a strange feeling like her own words were just used to slap her in the face. "Ah yes that." She paused. "That's why I'm here, I wanted to apologize."

Miroku released her and stood back with his arms folded across his chest. "Alright lass, speak."

She glared. "I'm sorry."

"For?" Miroku prodded.

She hesitated then smiled sweetly. "For not gelding ye."

Miroku warp his arms around her again. "If that is all I can get than I guess I shall forgive ye."

"I really am sorry about the pass few days."

"No harm done." Miroku exclaimed as he stirred in the direction of his cottage. "I have someone I want ye to meet."

"Ah, really?" She asked.

"Aye, she's been eager to meet ye." Miroku said.

Sango smiled when she came face to face with Destiny and Jaken the old man she had talked to a few days earlier. Destiny was simply brilliant, charming, and very lovable.

"I like you a lot." Destiny said as she bounced in Sango's lap. "Daddy does too."

Sango smiled as she ran her hand through Destiny's thick red curls. "I'm glad to hear that Destiny."

Hours ticked by like minutes for Sango as she enjoyed the being in the midst of such love and happiness. She was almost as sad as Destiny was when Miroku chimed it was time for bed.

"Sango will ye tuck me in please?" Destiny asked as she leaned sleepily on her father.

Sango looked to Miroku for permission when all he did was nod Sango stood and took the girl by hand. "Aye, I will tuck ye in."

Destiny sighed happily when Sango lifted her into her embrace. "Thank ye."

Sango followed Miroku as he head down the hall and pushed open a door that revealed what could only be a small girl's room.

Miroku watched as Sango put his daughter to bed and kiss her goodnight when they both exited the room he knew he wouldn't rest until he had Sango as his wife.

***

Tracking Kagome down wasn't really all that hard the hard part was calming her down.

"Kagome please let me explain." Inuyasha pleaded.

"Nay I donnae want to hear yer lousy excuse's."

"Please just listen to reason, Kagome." Inuyasha tried again.

Kagome didn't want to hear reason she wanted truth the cold hard truths that no one had ever seen fit to tell her. Yanking open her door she stepped aside and allowed him passage. When he stepped around her warily she grabbed him by his collar and yanked in fully into the room slamming the door behind her.

"Sit." She said as she motioned to one of the chairs that sat before the fireplace in her room.

Not wasting anymore of her time he reacted quicker; not wanting to be man handled by his wife again.

Once he was seated he waited patiently for her to begin speaking, but when she did speak he wasn't prepared for what tumbled out of her mouth.

"Why did you take me away from the Convent?"

***

Sesshomaru was beginning to think he was losing his mind and the continuous dreams of a dark haired maiden with chocolate colored eyes making love to him every night professing to be his wife didn't help either.

Something seemed very real about these dreams, about that woman, but still thing weren't adding up. How in the world could he not remember a wife, surely his family would have known something about it.

"Ye seem lost in thought Sesshomaru." Kouga commented as he cut into his meal.

"I can't seem to figure it out it's like it's so close yet so far away." Sesshomaru replied.

"Ah, yer still struggling with yer memory are ye not?" Kouga asked as he leaned back in his chair.

"Aye that tis my problem." Sesshomaru reasoned. "I can't get married until I fill in the blank space's."

"I can understand that my friend."

The room grew silent as both men retreated into their minds. Suddenly the doors to Kouga study burst open and in came a boy the local messenger.

"My Laird come quick the wolves have spotted something out in the woods."

Kouga and Sesshomaru exchanged looks before grabbing their weapons and exiting the keep.
