A/N- I am taking some liberties with the world of the Kami. I mean no disrespect, I am mearly using them in a story. I don't any right to Inuyasha, et al. All made up characters are mine as well as the story line.

Kotoamatsukami- the primary kami trinity

Hachiman- the god of war

Yahata no meiyo musuko- Honorable Son of Hachiman

Tsukuyomi- the moon god

Omoikane- diety of wisdom

Ame-no-Uzume- (Uzume) goddess of dawn and revelry, aka The Great Persuader and The Heavenly Alarming Female.

Tsukiyomi no utsukushī musume- Beautiful daughter of Tsukuyomi

Chapter One

The large meeting room was filled with all the kami of the heavens. Kotoamatsuami looked around the room, "Is there any other business any wish to discuss today?" Tsukiyomi looked toward Ame-no-Uzume, then cleared his throat.

"I wish to discuss a situation on the earthly plane, one that has been going on for far too long. As it concerns, the House of the Moon, I am bringing it up. It is about the two sons of the House and the evil known as Naraku. I was hoping that the issue with Naraku would bring the sons together, instead, they look for him seperately and battle when they see each other. As a result, Naraku continues to gain power and has destroyed too many lives.", he sat back leaving the floor open for discussion.

Omoikane smiled to himself, seeing the perfect opening, one that could clear up all the issues, in both planes. "I agree with Tsukiyomi, something needs to be done." he looked to the god of war. "Hachiman, as this concerns the hearts of warriors, perhaps you have and idea to help.", hoping that Hachiman jumped on this and would agree to send the girl away and not make her stand there as his son married another.

Hachiman looked around the room, and he too, saw the opening there to solve his dilema. "Well, perhaps we should send an emmisarry to them. One who is both warrior and represents BOTH Kami of War and of the Moon. This person can act as a go between if possible and tell them it is both of our wishes to have Naraku destroyed." he took a deep breath, "I have someone in mind. Power is stronger that the reigning ruler of the House of the Moon, a brilliant tactitian, and already wears the marks of both of our houses."

Ame-no-Uzume opened her mouth to refuse to allow this, but it snapped shut when she realized her child would not have to face the humiliation of watching the male she thought to marry, wed another. Instead her eyes flew to Tsukiyomi, silently sending a mesage to him.

"I am unsure of this person," Tsukiyomi looked at the gathering, "She is very angry and not thinking clearly. It may make matters worse."

Hachiman laughed, "Exactly the reason to send her. Those inu males need one pissed off inu female to face. She will set them straight and fast. Tsukiyomi, if I could I would change things for Musume. I wanted her as my daughter, but, my son is a fool, and I can't change that. What I CAN DO is send her on a special mission and this would supercede the need for her to attend the wedding. I would do this just to save her that pain."

Tsukiyomi thought about it and realized it would save her a lot of pain, not to have to go and swear her loyalty to the new lady in waiting. He also realized she was probably the best to go and handle this. He looked to the servant and said, "Go and fetch my daughter, General Musume. Tell her she is needed in council chambers immediately."

Five minutes later, she enters, prostrates herself to the assembly and then saluted Hachiman. Her face was impassive as she stood at attention awaiting her orders. The two kami exchanged looks and Hachiman spoke, "General, you are aware of the conflict within the house of the moon?" Not waiting for a response, "This needs to be resolved, the brothers must work together to stop Naraku. The tear in the House needs repaired, for the good of all. You will go to earth and act as a go between and get them working together. I do not care how you go about it, just DO IT. You may not come back until Naraku is defeated and the house is fixed."

Musume stood still and absorbed the information. Her gut reaction was to say no, that she HAD to attend that wedding. If not, Yahata would undermine her control over her troops and rub his power over her. His pride was wounded and now he sought to destroy everything she had worked for. Her eyes went from Hachiman to her father, then to her mother. She realized why they were sending her now, trying to stop pain she would feel. What they don't know is the lengths he was going to rub in her shame and dishonor. "If I say anything, it will create a new rift between the houses, and that must not happen.", she thought. Her thoughts drifted the story behind the origianl rift and how it caused the beginning in the rift to the House of the Moon. She sighed inwardly and thought, "Well, I will just have to clean up there and be back in time."

Her father spoke,breaking into her thoughts,"Musme, you must repair this in any way you can. It is our fault that this has started who better than one who represents BOTH houses to repair it."

Musume nodded, "Yes my Lords, I will leave as soon as possible. I may take anything I want? I have grown attached to some future things, that I'm sure won't be questioned much because of the future miko?"

Hachiman chuckled, "You may take what you want. You may be a while." Musume growled low and responded, "This Musume will not be ignored by two pups who can't seem to see past their own noses. I will fix this and in the process see the destruction of Naraku with my own eyes."

As she bowed out of the room, the kami seated there all kept their thoughts to themselves, but each hopeful that this was handled quickly. All except for the Kotoamatsukami, who planned a quick trip to the fates to see if this was what was needed. There will be no mistake this time, the rifts between the houses both here and on earth need to be repaired once and for all. They could see the hand of fate in the marriage of Hachiman's son to another, it is simply returning balance. They wondered about the girl though, what would happen with her. She was the one wronged this time, and was truly one of the innocents in this game.
