Kagome went to her room and quickly took off the kimono she had worn today and picked out a battle kimono, then strapped the harness and scabbard for Sou'nga and strapped it to her back, then put her hair into a pony tail then quickly braided it, then looked in the mirror as she strapped another katana to her waist, she sighed, ready or not, it was time to face her son.

She rushed out of her room and out of the palace, Sesshomaru was waiting, he nodded to her and she to him then they ran off in the direction their son had been seen in.

Meanwhile Naraku was standing in front of Kagura, Kanna and Aros. He had recreated his castle on this plane and things had gone very nicely, since the tachi were so broken up about Shippou's death they had not even opposed him except for normal soldiers of the western lands which were easily dealt with.

Since he had sent out Aros to destroy the last village he knew that soon Kagome and Sesshomaru would come out, and they would come out alone, he laughed, they were such idiots, he thought, they might be the strongest of the group but with it only being them, they would easily be slaughtered.

A poisonous insect approached him, so they were already on their way, he smirked, "Aros go meet the kitsune and inu who are headed this way, destroy them, Kanna, Kagura, you will back him up to ensure that everything goes as planned.

Aros bowed and said, "yes my lord and left followed by his 'mother' and 'auntie.'

Aros ran ahead while Kagura and Kanna sat on Kagura's feather observing for now.

Soon Aros came to a clearing and nodded, this would do, he thought. He then sat down to wait for his targets to arrive.

Kagome and Sesshomaru scented that they were close and slowed down, so as to calmly enter the clearing, as they entered it the boy that was there son looked up and smiled, "I see you have arrived, let us get on with your demise now shall we." he stood up and drew his sword.

Sesshomaru drew Tokijin, and rushed forward to attack the younger boy.

Kagome froze, her body would not move, she could not attack her own son no matter that she had to or not, she fell to her knees.

Aros smirked as he crossed blades with Sesshomaru, "it seems that your kitsune partner is having quite the issue attacking me for some reason."

Sesshomaru growled, "Do you not trust your senses, pup, do you senses not recognize us?"

Aros looked confused but kept attacking, true, the scents of these two was familiar to him, but he did not know why, he had never met them before, all he had know were Naraku's underlings.

Kagome watched the two fight, she could tell Sesshomaru was holding back, though she also could tell her son was too, suddenly she felt the energy that was Sou'nga rise in her mind, "my lady, you have sword to deal with this problem yet you sit here, if you will not take control I will and you might not like the result."

Kagome sighed, "I cannot move, if I allow you control will you promise not to kill him, at least until he makes his own choice."

Sou'nga seemed to ponder this, "that is acceptable."

With that Kagome relinquished control of her mind and body to Sou'nga, the two males watched out of the corner of their eyes as Kagome stood and drew Sounga and suddenly the armor of Sou'nga appeared onto her body and when she looked up her eyes were crimson, suddenly she attacked, throwing Aros to the ground.

He smirked, "so it seems one of you isn't holding back," then he jumped back to his feet, "I have been needing a challenge since I can defeat Hakudoshi with one arm tied behind my back."

Kagome attacked again, but spoke as well in a voice that was slightly masculine and sounded alien on her tongue, "do not get me wrong, I am still holding back, I am not the owner of this body."

Sesshomaru glared at Kagome/Sou'nga, shit he thought, why did the sword take over her now, she handled it just fine up to now, he watched as Sou'nga pushed back Aros and then the boy smirked and jumped over her head and shot a blast of holy energy at Kagome, it surprised him when it passed right over her and didn't even harm her.

Kagome/Sou'nga smirked, "you look surprised, I am sure you are wondering why that didn't even hurt me."

Sesshomaru smirked and responded when Aros was silent, "Who did Naraku say were your parents?"

Aros glared angrily, "my mother is Kagura, though I know not who my father is."Kagome/Sou'nga laughed, "oh I am sure Kagura gave you birth, but look deeper, because I will kill you if you make the wrong decision."

Sesshomaru glared at her, then looked back at Aros, Tokijin was still at the ready, "feel, don't think, what do your sensed think."

Meanwhile in the air above Kagura cursed, things were not going as planned, she nodded to Kanna and they swooped down and landed next to Aros.

Kagura put a hand on his shoulder, "do not let them confuse you, I am your mother, I know you can destroy them, it should be a small matter."

Aros nodded and attacked again though this time Kagome/Sou'nga and Sesshomaru both took to the offensive and he started having a hard time defending against both of them.

Kagura opened her fan and yelled "Dance of the Dragon" at Kagome/Sou'nga who looked over at the wind as she ran towards Kagura dodging the dancing tornados, as Sesshomaru fought Aros, who was actually winning now, because between strikes he had his poison/purifying whip out and was making Sesshomaru dodge both the katana and whip now.

Kagome/Sou'nga kept dodging the tornados, as this was happening. Soon Aros had Sesshomaru pinned to the ground. Though when he went to make the final blow he felt something in his head stop him, he deactivated his whip and dropped the sword and fell to the ground next to Sesshomaru clutching his head, in his head a voice said, ask Kanna to show you the mirror exactly who your parents are.

He stood up when the pain subsided and he turned around and stared at Kanna, "Auntie Kanna, show me my parents in your mirror, I need to know the truth."

Kagome/Sou'nga kept Kagura distracted throwing energy balls at Kagura as she attacked, though now it looked as if Sou'nga was playing with the wind witch.

Kanna looked at Aros with soft eyes, "when you see the truth do not blame us, for we are not to blame, we were under orders," she concentrated on the mirror and the mirror showed two things, on one side was Sesshomaru, laying where Aros had left him and the other was Kagome who was currently fighting Kagura though the mirror showed her without the armor.

He stepped back before shaking his head as if in confusion then ran off.

Kagura noticed this and jumped into the sky and onto her feather, pulling Kanna up with her and took off in the direction he had gone.

Kagome/Sou'nga smirked, "and I was having fun, oh well, I guess I will give her back control," with that Kagome's eyes went back to normal, she sighed and looked over at Sesshomaru, who was beaten up pretty badly, she went over to his side, and knelt next to him.

He smirked up at her, "He knows now, but it doesn't seem he took the news very well."

She shook her head.

He looked at her with concern, "why did Sou'nga take over Kagome, I thought you had full control over it?"

She sighed, "I do have full control, I could not attack him, not with the intent that I might have to kill him, Sou'nga volunteered to fight, I allowed it out once it agreed that it would not kill him unless he made the decision to stay with Naraku, and it seems that," she licked her lips, "our son is very confused right now. We need to be ready when he returns because I have a feeling we will have many questions to answer or we will have to kill him if he decides to stay on Naraku's side."

Sesshomaru sat up and nodded, "it seems that way."

An uncomfortable silence fell over them then, both not knowing what to say.

As they sat there, a good ways off Aros was confronting Kagura and Kanna.

"Why didn't you tell me that they are my true parent," he demanded of them.

Kagura winced, "because we were ordered not to tell you, you were meant to destroy them without knowing who they really were."

Aros glared at them, "You should have told me, I had a right to know."Kanna stepped forward, "Aros, this does not change Kagura or my feelings for you, we love you as our own, if we had told you, Naraku would have killed us, we have wished for freedom for these many years and no hope until now of the three of us being a real family until now, he does not hold your heart in his hand, if you work with Kagome and Sesshomaru you will be able to defeat Naraku for good."

He looked at Kanna, "I don't know."

Kagura then said, "Aros, if Naraku is gone then there will be no one to order us around, nor tell you to go kill things, we could be almost normal."

He smiled, "really?"

Kagura nodded, "yes."

He nodded, "okay, I'll go talk to them then I will help them kill Naraku."

They smiled at him then the two of them got back on Kagura's feather as he ran back the way he had come.

Kagome and Sesshomaru were still sitting in that uncomfortable silence when Aros walked back through the trees.

They stood up and they all looked at each other.

Aros broke the silence and said, "I want to know what really happened, how all this happened."

Sesshomaru sighed, "I see, do you want to know the short version or the long one?"

Kagura and Kanna landed and Kagura said, "the short, we do not know how long before Naraku realizes that he has been betrayed, the years have made him cocky, but not so much as to not check up on us eventually, he already expected a long fight, so we have a bit of time still."

Kagome nodded, "okay then, the short version."

Sesshomaru looked down, "a little more than fourteen years ago, I was having issues with my council, they were insisting I mate the female of their choosing, I had refused, but I was in heat and could not control it for long, my most trusted general distracted the council and I made a run for it, I did not make it to the place where I was supposed to vent my heat rage, instead I found Kagome, she was in heat and my beast could not resist," he took a breath, "I raped her, not long after she found out she was pregnant, she was kidnapped by Naraku."Kagome continued, "my body had a bad reaction to Naraku's miasma and I miscarried, however Naraku got a hold of the fetus, which was you at the time and implanted a jewel shard in you to keep you alive, not long after that I escaped."

Kagura finished up by saying, "Naraku implanted you within my womb for the jewel shard would only help bond the link between you and I in the womb."

Aros took all this in, and nodded, "I think I understand now, and I know what we have to do, we need to attack Naraku before he realizes he is betrayed," he looked at Kagura and Kanna, "Mom, Auntie Kanna you stay here, we three will go destroy Naraku."

All nodded and they ran off following Aros back to Naraku's castle.
