Chapter 21

 

 

With the babies finally under some type of control and the palace back to normal six month flew by. There had been no word from Totosai and even the endless searches left them with nothing on the old man. Kagome could find nothing on this grand council they were suppose to see either. They were going in blind.

 

It was early morning when the bow had begun to glow a bright green and purple. The three took this as a sign that it was time to go and meet with the council. Kagome had asked her family to come and at the palace a month ago to watch the babies while they were away. Sesshomaru had made sure that the palace was well secured while they would be gone.

 

Taking a hold of the bow in a blink of an eye they found themselves in a clearing. A large palace was a few strides ahead of them not to unlike Sesshomaru's. Large groups of people were headed to the palace. Thinking that this was the place they began to follow the groups to the palace.

 

It was at this time that Jaken or what appeared to be Jaken in drag dashed forward. Tiny feet with large rolling tears and a huge grin as she ran as fast her little legs would carry her. When she finally reached Maru she flung herself around his leg.

 

“Good gravy don't tell them your are promised too?” Kagome groaned.

 

“Hardly.” Maru said narrowing his eyes.

 

“I told them. I said that if the sun prince were dead then there would be no day. Did they listen to me? No.” The imp sobbed on his leg.

 

“What are you on about?” Maru asked prying the imp from his leg.

 

“She is happy that the sun prince has been found. She was your nanny.” A grinning Totosai said stepping into view. Looking at a lot more regal than they had ever seen before.

 

“Sun prince?” Kagome asked looking to Totosai.

 

“Oh yes, don't tell me that you didn't know. Your mates are as different as night and day. Literally.” Totosai laughed as Sesshomaru growled.

 

“Why didn't you inform us of this before?” Sesshomaru said pulling his sword.

 

“Were would the fun be in that. Come on we must prepare.” Totosai said heading back to the palace.

 

“Prepare for what.” Kagome asked running to catch up.

 

“He must claim his throne. A simple spell really. Sesshomaru had it performed when he was a baby. That's why he has the crescent moon on his forehead.” Totosai said as Maru and Sesshomaru looked at each other then realized Kagome had gone without them.

 

As they reached a large study Totosai motioned for them to sit. Maru and Kagome went where motioned, but Sesshomaru leaned against the wall. He wasn't doing anything till he knew what the hell was going. Totosai sighed. He had known dealing with Sesshomaru was going to be hard.

 

“Do not be difficult. So much like your father.” Totosai said taking a seat behind a desk.

 

“Please Sesshomaru for Maru.” Kagome pleaded with a pouting lip.

 

“Fine, but we are to know everything here on out or we leave never to return.”

 

“I plan on telling you everything. Even things that you may not wish to know.” Totosai said with a strict tone in his voice.

 

“As I told you Maru's parents were killed. They were the king and queen of the sun realm. It was believed that the moon king killed them. Your father Sesshomaru.” Totosai said raising a brow.

 

“What!” They gasped.

 

“Oh it is true. Without the sun the moon would rule both realms. Kagome, your father couldn't believe that one of his friends could do that to another and set out to find the truth. Then of course there was the mystery of what happened to Maru. It was never discovered who had killed your parents or how you ended up where you did. I think that the answers lie in the palace of the sun. I suggest that you go there after the meeting and your introductions. I am sure that there will be many raised eyebrows today.” Totosai finished looking to the baffled three.

 

“My father was not power driven. I refuse to believe that he would do this.” Sesshomaru snarled from his spot on Kagome's side.

 

“We will find out what happened.” Kagome said taking Sesshomaru and Maru's hand.

 

Totosai rose from his spot behind the desk and asked Maru to follow to the center of the study. Kagome sat back with Sesshomaru and watched as Totosai chanted. A bright golden sun appeared on Maru's forehead. Kagome smiled as she felt he finally looked whole. Sesshomaru had to wonder what this would mean for their little family especially if his father had killed Maru's parents.

 

Kagome didn't know why she didn't see it before. Where Sesshomaru had a blue hue to his skin and hair Maru had a golden. Maru always had a brighter view where Sesshomaru saw the darkness. Right down to their eyes Maru had the brightness of the sunrise and Sesshomaru had a darkening like the sunset.

 

Once the spell was cast Totosai thought it was time to go and see the council. Walking into the large chamber filled huge fluffy pillows Kagome stopped dead in her tracks grabbing Sesshomaru's Hand. She whispered something in his ear as his eyes drifted to the side of the room. Maru followed his gaze with his own.

 

There chained to one of the chair half-naked, beaten and bloodied was none other than.

 

“Naraku.” The three whispered.
