Koji watches as his adoptive sister's necklace breaks and she is pushed back by a purple beam. Amaya hits a tree. Koji rushes over to her but something is different. She seems to be changing. Koji stares at his sister. Her hair is growing and turning into silver. Her cheeks are starting to form red jagged strips on them. A blue crescent moon appears on her forehead and two doggie ears appeared on the top of her head.

Sesshomaru who is shocked as a familiar scent hit his nose. It was the sweet scent of his daughter Miki. He looks toward the boy. He walks slowly to him and watches as Amaya change. His eyes widen at the sight. Miki.

"Miki…"

He pulls her into his arms. Koji wanted to react but he was too afraid of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru pulled her up and took her back to Inuyasha's house. Inuyasha picked up the scent of Sesshomaru. He sniffed the air again and then realized who else was with him. He started to run toward him and met him half way.

"Where did you find her?"

"Inuyasha she's Amaya."

Inuyasha didn't bother to ask him questions and they quickly took her back to him home. Kagome, Sango, and Rin both looked at the questioningly. They took her inside and set her down. Rin gasped. Could it really be her little girl? Could it?

"Sesshomaru where did you find her?"

"She was always here just under spell."

"What are you talking about?"

"She's Amaya."

(In the bushes)

Takeo saw as Sesshomaru destroyed Amaya's necklace. Amaya quickly started to regain her normal state. Takeo growled as Sesshomaru took off with Amaya. He emerged from the tree as he left. Koji turned around and looked down at the ground. Takeo just glared at him.

"She was the girl you kidnapped."

"What did you say?"

"Amaya… all this time you had us thinking you saved this girl when you really kidnapped her."

"I don't have to explain myself to you."

Takeo said and followed Sesshomaru. Koji ran back to the northern lands and found Takeo's wife.

(With Sesshomaru)

Sesshomaru sat next to his daughter's side. He brushed some hair out of her face and touched her scar. It was supposed to heal but it didn't. He waited for Miki to wake up. Then he thought would she even remember him. He took in some air. Rin walked in and smiled at him.

"Sesshomaru…"

"Yes…"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"However you haven't moved from this spot since you found out Amaya was Miki. You should go outside. No one is going to kidnap her again."

"I know but…"

"Sesshomaru…"

"Okay Rin I'm going."

Sesshomaru walked out of the home and went to spend time and celebrate the return of Miki. He looked back just once to look at his daughter. She was finally home.

Amaya woke up and touched her head. She rubbed her eyes then a scream came out of her mouth. Sesshomaru and Rin quickly rushed in. She stared at her hands well rather now claws. Her hair fell in front of her and she saw that it was now silver not black. She ran to the small pond and looked at her reflection. Her hair was silver, she had doggie ears, her eyes were gold, and she had two red jagged strips on her face and a crescent moon on her forehead. She looked just like Sesshomaru. She looked just like her father.

She closed her eyes and every memory she had with him came back to her. She remembered staying up late for him. She remembered trying on his clothes and walking around saying that she was going to be just like him. She remembered her most precious memory of the meadow and the butterflies.

"Miki…"

Her name. It was her original name. She looked up. Her father gave her a concern look. She looked up at him and ran to him. His arms came around her and her close to him.

"Dad…"

She started to cry. Sesshomaru stroked her hair and let her cry. He let go of her and let Rin hold her. Rin wrapped her arms around her daughter. Tears fell from her face. She was so happy to see her daughter safe and with her again.

"Amaya…"

Takeo called from behind her. Sesshomaru stepped in front of Rin and Miki. He drew his sword. Takeo did not make a move for his sword. He just merely called his daughters name again. Miki looked up at her mother who had let go of her. Rin looked at Takeo.

"Amaya it's time to come home."

"You aren't taking my daughter anywhere. It's time to fight Takeo. You took my daughter away from me and you will pay for that."

Sesshomaru started to charge at him when Miki cried.

"Stop."

He did. He looked at his daughter who ran in front of the two men. She would not let them fight. She couldn't let them fight. Both of them only stared at her.

"Father you will not fight him."

"What? He kidnapped you."

"I know that. I remember everything now but he did take care of me. He did raise me. Even though he lied to me I can forgive that."

"That doesn't matter Amaya if your dear father Sesshomaru wants a fight then he can-"

"Takeo…"

A woman's voice called out. Amaya smiled. It was her other mother. (I don't what to call her). Amaya ran to her. Her other mother wrapped her in her arms. She glared at her husband. Takeo looked down at the ground.

"I knew you did something to him but I didn't think you would kidnap his daughter and then lie to all of us about who she really is."

"He killed are son."

"I know that and you raided his house. You beat his wife. You got our son caught up in that little gang of yours. Tell me Takeo who fault is it."

Takeo said nothing but looked at the ground. Koji came up from behind Takeo's wife. He looked down at Amaya.

"I know you wanted revenge but sometimes revenge isn't the way to go. Wounds heal Takeo… but you've let your wound over your son nearly kill you. Look at what you did to them. You hurt them deprive them of getting to know their own daughter."

"Yuki… I,"

Takeo stared at Amaya. He got so close to her. He came to know her as his own daughter. He looked back at Sesshomaru and Rin. He felt a slight warm presence in the wind. It wrapped around him and he heard his son's voice.

Father it's time to put the past behind us.

Takeo walked up to Amaya. He pulled her into her and she smiled. Yes she was his adoptive daughter but she was the true daughter of Sesshomaru and Rin. They should get to know their amazing daughter like he got to know her. His arms let go of her and she ran to Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru… I am sorry… I got so caught up in my revenge for my son. I wanted you to experience the same pain I felt. Amaya… I mean Miki she's a great daughter. I'm truly sorry I deprived you and your wife of knowing her."

"Takeo… thank you."

Rin said softly. Sesshomaru looked at her puzzled.

"You didn't kill my daughter instead you raised her. I am grateful for that. Thank you so much all of you for taking care of her."

Sesshomaru then understood. He looked at his daughter and then at Takeo. He can't quite say that he forgives him but he is grateful that he did not kill her. Sesshomaru and Takeo stared at each other. Finally Sesshomaru nodded at him.

"Thank you Takeo."


No fighting here. Sorry I didn't want it to be all vengeful and what not. I decided to take a different approach. Well tell me what you think
