I don't Own Inuyasha, all I own is this idea and the o/c Keski and Karas and any others that will be in the story.
If someone can come up with a better summary, I will give u credit in the next chapter.
It wasn't a happy day in the Asto Palace by the King's side for many years was his advisor Naraku. he wore a red robe that matched his red eyes, his black hair hung loosely down his back. He awaited whatever orders he was given. King Suikotsu wasn't long for this world his long hair was now silvery grey his blue eyes still shined bright he was dying now after many years on the throne and making sure everyone in the kingdom was taken care of rich or poor.
"Naraku, there is one last thing I need to be done," Suikotsu wheezed "Yes, Majesty?" Naraku said, bending low so he could hear "Find my grandson...his name is Kohaku. I have named him my heir in front of my people and so it shall be," Suikotsu said.
"Yes my Lord but why isn't your Grandson here in the first place why has he gone amiss?" Naraku said taking the oldman's hand, "What if we don't find him" Naraku wondered hoping the King would bless him with the Kingdome it pissed him off he was denied when he was there for so many years himself though he didn't age. After my son died his foolish wife took the baby and left the kingdom to raise him normal as she called it."
"Normal? I'm sure someone would have recognized the two," Naraku said.
"Well she left so there is nothing I could do I know she moved him to the village , Kohaku would be 14 by now but he will be a good ruler it's in his blood. "Give him this the king tells Naraku placing a gold ring with a blue diamond in the middle of it and places it in Naraku's hand and dies.
"Curse you old man this is what i get for my loyal years of service just a brush off for some kid who was supposed to be the heir and you stupidly let him go what a moron" He said rolling his eyes and took the ring and put it on himself he had half a mind to not find the kid what the kid didn't know wouldn't hurt him he thought...
There was a knock on the kings bedroom door the guards and doctor were coming to check on the king Naraku made it look as though he had been crying he came to the door"The King has passed on" he said softly with tears running over his cheeks.
The doctor and guards looked sullen. "Then preparations must be made," the doctor said before turning and walking down the corridor to tell the people.
"What are we going to do who will rule?" The guards asked. Naraku smirked and walked over to them "Of course the King said that I would rule" He tells them" He gave me his royal ring though I asked him if he had any heirs he said no" He said to the guards. "But I still think we should search just incase I think he muttered something about a grandson or something like that but since he made me King the Boy would be prince". "Then we must search immediately! Get a squadron together, we leave now!" the captian of the guard commanded as he and his companion started down the corridor as well.
Naraku walked out the bedroom. "I didn't order any of you to do such a thing as of now I am king and you obey me!" Naraku bellowed. The guards stopped in their tracks. "But sir you said their might be an heir." The captain said as he took his helmet off reveling blue eyes and black hair in a long braid that went down his back.
"Yes, as I have told you that I have been named King. Even if he were found, the boy would be below me," Naraku said.
Bankotsu bowed his head and walked over to Naraku and bowed his head. "Take the Kings body and have it prepared for the burial and then I want you to send the seamstress in here ."Naraku tells him.
"Yes, Majesty," Bankotsu said before taking his companion and going into the King's chamber.
Naraku walked down the hall to his own room and opened the door and walked in closing it behind him and locking it "So your plan worked?" The woman asked as she stepped from out the shadows.
"Kagura yes it took longer than I wanted but he is dead, I didn't count on the Prince having a kid, he must have had it when I was away on that damn mission." he growled "Yes. So, what are you going to do about him?" Kagura asked, leaning against the wall.
"I need the boy found so I can bring him back here and have him under my control." Naraku tells her.
"I can go and check the villages what is his name?" she asked.
" Kohaku." Naraku tells her as he looks at the ring on his finger.
"When I find him I will bring him back here," Kagura said. "Good. Go," Naraku replied.
Kagura nodded and left to head to the village. Naraku unlocked the door and watched as the kings body was carried down the hall. Naraku moved his clothes into the now empty room and laid them on the bed as the seamtress came in to take his measurements.
"Your highness."Kagome said bowing she never trusted Naraku and now he was their king.
"Get to work, seamstress. I'd like to have my clothes ready by nightfall," Naraku said, stripping down to his undergarments so she could properly take measurements.
Kagome growled as she closed the door and walked over to him. "You know I have a name, and Prince 's mother will take over to the young king is old enough!" she hissed.
Naraku growled and back-handed her. "I have already stated this. I have been appointed King by his late Majesty. You will respect me or I can execute you just as easily as swatting a fly."," he said.
Kagome rubbed her face, she had never been slapped before in her life. She glared at him as she straightened herself out. "Fine your majesty!" she spat as she undid her tape to measure him. "Please face me." she says.
He turned the proper direction and she cinched the tape around him, pulling tighter than necessary, making him growl. "I need exact measurements, Majesty. You don't want your clothes too loose, do you?" she asked.
"Kagome as I recalled the late King was making sure your sick brother had the best care it be a shame if that was taken away from him." Naraku says to her. "You're evil you may have had the king fooled but not me nor his son that's why he sent you on that mission." she says.
"Well his son is dead," Naraku said.
"Yes he is but he left behind a baby boy." Kagome said as she finished measuring him. "I am done, is there any particular color you would like?" she asked . "Dark colors." Naraku tells her and dismisses her.
She glared and left the room after gathering her things. Naraku re-dressed and ordered for food and wine to be brought to his rooms.
Kagome growled as she walked back to her room slamming the door closed. "I hate him!" she screamed.
"What is your problem now?" Kikyo asked her as she played with her long silky hair. "Naraku is what how can you be so calm about this?" Kagome asked her.
"I am fine as long as the kingdom is running smoothly and I have food on my table," Kikyo said, looking over at the other woman calmly.
"What about Naraku running the kingdom we don't know what crazy rules he will set for everyone or what about the other kings and Queens?" Kagome asked her.
"The other Kings and Queens are not our concern, Kagome. Our only concern is our King, since we are the seamstress' of the palace," Kikyo said.
Kagome fumed. "Fine I am going out makes these clothes for him, he wants dark colors." Kagome tells her laying the paper down and walking out the room and out the palace headed to the village.
Meanwhile, in the village there was a boy who was in the marketplace, getting food for his family.
Kagura looked around she wore a red robe with a hood covering her face. "Miss would you like to buy some fruit?" the merchant asked. "No I am looking for a young boy in his early teens." she says to him.
"Well, there are many in this village. We have had a good rate of children in the past years," the merchant said. "One that goes by the name of Kohaku," Kagura stated.
"Ah Kohaku yes, he's actually over there." the man said as he pointed to a boy of meduim height with black hair in a ponytail he wore a short gray kimono.
He was bargaining with another merchant about fruit prices. "Thank you," she said, tossing him a silver coin and walking towards him.
"I'll pay it." Kagura tells the merchant handing him two silver coins. Kohaku turned around and looked at her. 'Thank you miss." he says to her and smiles.
"You're welcome, where are your parents?" Kagura asks him.
"My mother is at home, my father died when I was young. May I ask what you want?" he said as he took the fruit.
"Oh sorry to hear that, I was sent to get you by the king, he has been looking all over for you." Kagura tells him.
"The King? W-what for? I have done nothing wrong!" Kohaku said, his eyes widening "Do you not know? Has your mother never told you? You are the grandson of the late King Suikotsu," Kagura said.
"No I'm not, I'm just a peasant boy." Kohaku tells her. "No, you're not you're a prince now should we go and get your mother?' Kagura asked him with a kind smile.
Kohaku looked at her for a moment. "Fine. She will deny it," he said, leading the way home.
Kagura smiled as she followed Kohaku back to his hut. It wasn't much but it was his home for the past 14 years. "Mom I'm home." he says as he walks in with Kagura following behind him.
"Welcome home. Oh, who's this?" his mother asked, looking at Kagura.
Kagura pulled her hood back and smiled. "Hello Midriko long time no see." she says to her as she closes the door behind her. "Kagura what do want?" Midriko hissed.
"Mother, you know her?" Kohaku asked. Midriko pulled him behind her. "So you haven't told him. Well, Suikotsu is dead and your son is required at the palace. King Naraku's orders," Kagura said.
"Suikotsu is dead." she said as she placed her hand over her chest, I never should have left I was just so upset after Renkotsu left that I ran, how is Naraku king he's not an heir!" she yelled.
"He wears the diamond of the King, so he must have been appointed," Kagura said.
Midriko turned around and looked at Kohaku. "It's true your father was a prince and your grandfather was the king, I am sorry, I never told you, please forgive me Kohaku." she says to him "Why didn't you tell me? Mother, we could have had such a better life," Kohaku said, taking her hands in his.
" Your father had died and I was upset so I took you away, I had hoped to take you back once you were 18, your father died seeing your face he was so happy." she says to him.
"Are you coming willingly or do I have to drag you back?" Kagura asks them.
"Kohaku get your things, I am taking you back home." Midriko says smiling at him.
Kohaku looked from her to Kagura and back, then nodded and went to his room to get his few possessions.
"Wise choice Princess, though I am not sue that will be your title now." Kagura says to her. "Go wait outside, I still out rank you!" Midriko tells her.
Kagura smirked and said, "For now." She then turned and left to wait out front.
Midriko went into her own bedroom and got her clothes including the ring Renkotsu gave her she put it on her ring finger and walked out with her sack just as Kohaku did. "Ready?" she asked. "Yeah." Kohaku tells her and the two walk out where Kagura was waiting. "I do hope that no one knew you were royalty and never told the king, I hate to see what awaits them." Kagura says to her.
"No one knew," Midriko said, shaking her head. "Good. Then let's go. The King is waiting," Kagura said, leading the way.
