Sesshomaru Learns the Truth
Sesshomaru had just watched the two women go into the well when he felt the surge of magic. He wondered what it was about that girl, Kagome, that seemed so familar to him. She is the first human to stand against him and it intriged him to no end. He was bound and determined to find out what secrets she was hiding. He knew she was a miko but that was not all she was.
'What is she hiding? Why do I care what it is?' he thought to himself.
'You care because SHE reminds you of HER'
'Who are you?'
'Duh, I am your inner self'
'Go away! I do not wish to be reminded of HER!'
He continued to battle with himself as he walked toward the well. When he got there he looked inside and no one was there. He wondered where they went when he remembered her words to him the night before.
---------------Flashback--------------------
"I could feel him following me after I left Kouga and then he followed us here hoping to gain more information no doubt. I am sorry Sesshomaru but it is not time for you to know. Yes, Sango called me Kags. Does that name sound familiar to you? If not it should. Think about it and it will come to you, but do not reveal it no matter what or there will be danger to her."
"Ningen," he spat, "Where did you get this sword?"
"It was a gift from my mother and father for my 16th birthday, which is today in case you didn't already know. If you want anymore answers I suggest you go visit the Northern Lord."
------------------End Flashback---------------
'Maybe I should go pay father's dear friend a visit.'
With that decided he summoned his youki and flew to the Northern castle. What would normally take half the day only took Sesshomaru a couple of hours. When the guards of the Northern castle saw the taiyoukai they went to inform their Lord that Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands was coming to pay an unannounced visit. By the time that Sesshomaru landed Lord Yukka was waiting at the front doors for him.
"Lord Sesshomaru what a pleasant suprise." said a older demon. This demon was an Inu-Youkai like Sesshomaru yet there were many differences. The other Lord had long black hair with midnight blue streaks in it, his claws were black with a white stripe down the center of each claw, the stripes on his cheeks and wrists were black and on the center of his forehead was a midnight blue six point star, in the center of the star was a white diamond and in the center of the diamond was a pink teardrop. This was the Northern Lord, Lord Yukka.
"Lord Yukka, I get the feeling that you were expecting this visit?"
"Yes Sesshomaru, I have been. I have been wondering when you would let your pride go long enough for you pay me a visit and seek the answers that obviously the girl will not give you. I can only give you a few answers though I am afraid. If too much is revealed then there will be much danger for my daughter."
Sesshomaru was shocked, even though he didn't show it, Lord Yukka could tell. He had known Sesshomaru since the day he was born and looked at him like a son. He chuckled at the stoic young demon lord in front of him.
"Come let us go talk in the garden."
Sesshomaru nodded as they walked the short path to the garden that he used to love so much. Lord Yukka kept glancing at Sesshomaru out of the corner of his eye. He worried about the young lord. All of the lesser lords were pressuring him to take a mate, but Lord Yukka and Lord Kouga knew the reason he had not. He was waiting for Kagome to return. Lord Kouga paid him a visit after he had talked to Kagome. He knew that the only one who could know that she had returned was her father, so he had paid him a visit and told him the joyous news. Now all they had to do was wait until Naraku was defeated and he would truly have his daughter back. Of course if Kagome knew that Kouga had been there SHE would kill him, weather she considered him a brother or not. They arrived at the garden and both of them were taken out of their thoughts as they crossed the barrier that surrounded the garden.
"I don't remember a barrier here before," said Lord Yukka more to himself than to Sesshomaru.
"She must be using this as training grounds for her new abilities. I understand why since this was always her favorite place to sit and meditate," he continued.
"So the rumors are true then. Lady Kagome has returned, but why has she not revealed herself yet?" asked Sesshomaru. He knew as long as there was the barrier they could talk freely and not worry about being overheard by spies.
"Yes Sesshomaru. The rumors are true, but unfortunately she cannot reveal herself yet. I miss her as much as you do but the time is not right for her to do so."
"I am beginning to hate that phrase more than I hate my half-breed half-brother!"
"Why do you say that?"
"I have heard that more in the past two days than I have ever heard it. The first one to tell me that was a ningen miko that travels with the half-breed. Now you say the same thing."
"Tell me does the miko happen to disappear into the Bone Eaters Well?"
"Yes. How do you know that?"
"I cannot tell you how I know that, but I can tell you to go and find out for yourself. The well is a portal that will take you 500 years into the future. You will find all of the answers you seek there. The portal only let's those through that have a connection with the young miko. I assure you my young friend that the well will let you pass through as well. Do not ask how I know this because again I cannot tell you."
"I will go tonight then after the miko and exterminator have returned."
"Very well. I am certain then that I will see you again when you return."
They said their good-byes and Sesshomaru returned to his hiding spot by the well. After Sesshomaru left Lord Yukka sat down on the edge of the fountain deep in concentration. He was attempting to contact his mate, Lady Rei. (When two demons mate they form a telekinetic bond between the two of them. This next conversation takes place in Lord Yukka's mind.)
'Rei, my love, can you hear me?'
'Yes, Yukka. What is wrong? You never contact me like this unless you have information that I need to know right away.'
'I just had a visit from Sesshomaru. He was asking about Kagome.'
'We knew this day would come, especially after she recieved the sword. Did you tell him to come and talk to me?'
'Yes, my love, I did, just as we had planned. Tell me how is our daughter? Sesshomaru let it slip that the exterminator went with Kagome. That tells me that we now have another daughter.'
'Yes we do. Sango is a lovely girl. I can't wait for you to meet her. Kagome is progressing better and faster with her swordsmanship than anyone thought possible. It seems that what Sesshomaru taught her when they were children has stuck with her all these years. Well my mate I must go now our son is due home anytime. I love you and I will see you soon, also Yuma says hello.'
'Wonderful, tell her hello and prepare her for her son's visit. I love you as well my mate and I have a feeling I will see you sooner than what we think. The final battle draws nearer with each day that passes'
Lord Yukka cut off the connection, he felt his daughter's presence and looked around but did not see her.
"Kagome, my daughter, I know you are here. The time for the final battle is soon upon us. You have maybe another week and your skills will be beyond those of any miko before you. When your training is complete then you must find Naraku and rid this world of his evil. At that time your memories will fully return. Until then I love you my daughter and I count the days until I see you again."
-------------------------------------------Back to Sesshomaru-------------------------
He was waiting for the time when the miko and exterminator returned. He didn't have to wait long. After only a few short moments he felt the surge of magic and then seen them both exit the well. He waited until he heard his half-brother yelling at them before he went to the well not noticed. He figured that he would just do as they did and jumped into the well. He was surrounded by bluish pink light and then as quick as it came it was gone. He looked up expecting to see the darkening sky above him and was slightly suprised to see to see a roof instead. He jumped out of the well and was about to go up the few steps to the door that went to the outside, at least he hoped, when it opened. There stood a human woman that looked like an older version of Kagome.
"S-S-Sesshomaru is that you?" the strange woman asked.
"Ningen how do you know who I am?"
"Sesshomaru, take a good look at me and tell me how I know who you are."
He looked closer and saw a concealing spell. He concentrated on seeing through the spell. What he saw suprised him. Standing there instead of the ningen that he first saw was a female demoness. She had long raven hair with midnight blue streaks intwined with the black, on her cheeks and wrists were two black stripes, her claws were black with pink and white stripes down the center of each, on her forehead was a midnight blue six point star, in the center of the star was a white diamond and in the center of the diamond was a pink teardrop. Sesshomaru immediately recognized her. This was Lady Rei, Lady of the Northern Lands.
"Lady Rei! This is where you have been hiding."
"Yes Sesshomaru it is. It was necessary in order to keep my daughter safe. Follow me and we will talk in the house. I must warn you, when you walk out this door you will be hit with a very strong smell of humans. I suggest you cover your nose."
Sesshomaru did as she suggested and walked out the door. He followed Lady Rei into the house. When they got into the house Rei led them to the kitchen, there at the kitchen sat Yuma.
"Hello Sesshomaru," she said.
"Mother?"
"Yes, my son. I am sorry to have stayed away so long but it was just too dangerous."
"We know you have many questions Sesshomaru, so please sit down and we will explain the best we can," said Rei.
He did as she asked. When he was seated Yuma took over.
"When we returned home after Kagome's birthday celebration that night your father was called away. When he returned he asked me to follow him, that he needed to discuss something with me. That conversation changed my life as I knew it. He told me that he had been unfaithful to me, I admit that I had a gut feeling that was the case but there was no evidence to prove it. To hear it was a complete shock, and then I asked who, which was an even bigger shock. When he told me it was a human I was outraged. I contacted Rei through the mental connection that we share as blood sisters, I explained the situation to her and she got me to calm down. She told me to listen to what he had to say and then we will figure out what to do. So I did as she asked me to do. Your father told me about the swords he had forged, one for you and the other was made to protect humans and also the future Lady of the Western Lands. At the time Myoga, Rei and I were the only other ones that knew the truth. Your father made us swear to secrecy. The only way that the Tetsusaiga would work if it was in the hands of a hanyou. Inutashio did not expect to fall in love with the ningen hime. He was torn between two women that he loved dearly, so I made his choice for him. I told him that I would leave in order to protect my family, but I requested to see the hanyou child before I left. He took me to see the child and his mother. I asked what his name was and he told me it was Inuyasha. I walked over and asked if I could hold him, Inutashio nodded his head and the young woman handed him to me. On Inuyasha's forehead I traced our family crest, kissed where I had traced the crest and whispered to him:
"Your destiny is complex young one. You shall have to overcome much, but overcome it all you shall. Strong blood runs through your veins use it well to protect the future Lady of these lands. For that Inuyasha is your destiny."
After I told him that I handed him back to his mother and walked out of the room. Before I left the castle though I went into your room. You were sleeping peacefully and instead of disturbing you I leaned over and whispered in your ear:
"You have chosen well my son, protect your little brother for it is his destiny to protect your future mate so that we both may see you again in the future."
I then left the castle. I met Rei, Kagome & Sota at the well and came here. We knew that we would be safe here. The Tetsusaiga was meant to protect Kagome, that is why she was able to pull it out. She has a very powerful spell protecting her identity. It will not be broken until after Naraku is defeated and all of her memories return. She also must accept who and what she is. She already accepts who she is, and she is starting to accept what she is."
A/N K all I no that I haven't put our fave demon lord in this fic much but I had to get all the other things out of the way first so I am gonna make most of this chappie about him........I hope that makes everyone happy.......
