Time past and it became completely impossible to hide your pregnancy from the servants. After dinner the lord had requested your presence in his office. You went to your room to find a kimono before making your way to the west wing. You knocked on the door and he said "come in". you smiled as you walked in, although he could be cruel to most he was nothing but kind when regarding you. You took a seat as he looked at you. "my lady Amaterasu I see that you are with child, and I'm sure that it isn't mines for we have never consummated our marriage". You looked down, full of shame you were able to hide it but now that your four months the servants have began to talk and always hiding your stomach from the lord was nearly impossible. You nodded as he continue "I know you must feel horrible, for you have brought shame on yourself, your family and our land but you need not be, I could only imagine what that demon did to you. We will not allow this to weaken us but please come with me. We will discuss this more later " you nodded to astonished to say a world. He got up and walked to you kissing you on the forehead before leading you to his room. While working there he said "you will sleep in my room and until you give birth we will play this off as if your are with child and that it is my heir. This means you must be in my room but don't fear I will not rush you into doing anything you don't want". you couldn't help but wonder how could someone so nice hate demons with such a passion. "my lord if its not too bold I would like to ask, why do you hate demons so much?" he stopped and hung his head low "because I once lost my love to a demon right before our wedding. you kind of remind me of her, your beauty, your voice and your innocence, see she was born on a taian day in the six month of the year. I must explain you see children born on that day are rare and only the females have a special ability. She had a power within her that only taian people possess, as long as she was not angered she was just a normal person. but that demon, that monster that killed her could sense her power and he needed to feed on the blood of taian babies, children or adults to stay strong. So the night before I was to marry her I received a letter of her death. I was heart broken but my mother said I must find a wife. I thought it was my imagination when I saw you. Your looks so similar" you looked at him with tears in your eyes, you couldn't help but feel sad for him. But he allowed his lost for his love to turn into blind rage for all demons. "my lord I will be here for as long as I can do not fear that harm will come to me as it did her." You finally made it to the room and when he opened the door you saw that new kimonos were laid out on the bed for you. He told you to sit while he placed them in a gold chest with you name written on it. when he was done he said, "I know you may not love me but I hope one day you will". You nodded and said "if not, you will always be dear to my heart my lord" and laid down to rest. A week passed and you and hana became close you requested that she be your personal servant but you two mostly spent your days in the garden playing. You were at peace finally and happy with where you were. Until one night hana held your hand as you walked to the hot spring. You allowed her to undress you and fixed your bathing cloth before entering. when you were in the water hana grabbed the oil and started to bathe you. You closed your eyes before whispering "thank you hana"." Five minutes went by and you heard something from the distance. As your eyes shot open and your head turned to hana you saw her head facing the direction the nose came from and after rubbing your eyes. You saw what it was that had gotten her attention and quickly got out of the water, splashing her in the process. You grabbed hana and pulled her behind her. You didn't know what this thing was but you knew it was no good. "state you business here demon! You are trespassing on my land and unless you wish to be dealt with quickly you will leave now". He started to laugh at your attempt of scaring him "you mortals think you hold so much power when you are really as weak as they come. No need to hide your servant I promise I will do away with her quickly like I did with the others". At that moment your remembered the lord and how he talked about the death of your first two servants, anger in your eye "it was you! You killed them and for your cruel deeds kouga was killed". He licked his lips "I would have not needed to if you were there" confused you asked "me? What do you want with me?" at that moment hana regained some of her color back and started to tug at you. She whispered "we must get help lady Amaterasu" you tried you push her so she could run for help but she refused, she would rather give her life then leave you. the demon growled before walking closer he was so huge, but at that time the lord and a few soldiers came into the clearing. Seeing that huge demon he order the soldiers to fight, as the demon looked closer he laughed and spoke "if it is the lord of the north, I must say it will be a honor to kill two of your wenches" confused and angered the lord said "how do you know of me demon or my love and wife?"
"stupid mortal I killed your love, it brought so much pleasure as she begged for me to spare her long enough to say her goodbyes to you. Ill admit she truly loved you but no wench should be walking out at night. You can blame yourself for she just had to see you that night." the lords eyes grew wide as he yelled for you two to run. As you ran you looked back to see him running towards the demon, sword in hand. this wouldn't end well, you thought as you pulled hana and its all your fault that demon is after you. You finally made it to the castle and you and hana ran to your room. You two awaited for the lord to come but fell asleep. You awoke the next morning to the lords mother weeping and his father knocking on your door. He was dead, he had died to save your life and to revenge his loves. the bodies were hung over the trees, all aspect his, which was clawed at until only his sword, which was still in his hand was the only thing used to identified him. You fell to you knees and cried, now you were the cause of five deaths. How could you live with yourself, the next few months were hard, the people mourned the death of their lord and feared you would bring nothing but destruction to their village. but soon you were in labor, your baby was coming. The pain was intense, you felt as if you were being ripped in half and due to the fact that you weren't allowed to go to the springs, you felt like it was ten times worst them it needed to be. After a few hours of breathing you were finally told to push . Hana fainted when she saw the blood, which caused you to panic you could be loosen to much blood? Thankfully that wasn't the case and you gave birth to a beautiful girl amazingly on a taian day of the six month of the year, just like you.
(me: aww you share a birthday)
She had black hair like her father and his eyes. Your skin tone and lips, she had a little tail too, it was wonderful, the feeling that over came you when you looked into her eyes, she was your proud and joy. But for her tail that was kept a secret, you only told hana. the lords mother was happy she was a grandmother or at least she thought. Since that night you were forbidden to go any farther then the garden, and even then five soldiers were always by your side. You knew in your heart when the time came nothing could stop it. You needed to do this yourself or one day your child might meet the same fate along with any innocent person that got in the way.
(me: aww you were willing to die if it saved your baby)
Flash back kouga pov
They left you there to die but the jewels helped you from meeting your demise. You were able to make it back to you pack before passing out from the lost of blood. Your pack tried desperately to keep you from going after Amaterasu, at least until you were fully healed. but you couldn't, every dream was a replay of that moment and what about your child? that cruel lord would kill it once its born and punish Amaterasu for sure. The fear of loosen everything you loved was driving you crazy. Your pack was able to get you to relax once you were able to understand that you would need your strength to get her back. It took you eight months to heal but when you did, you and your pack started working on a plan to get Amaterasu back. After a week of planning and preparing, you decided the next night you would strike.

Still kouga pov
While you slept the day away you dreamt of how it would be with Amaterasu back in your life, while sleep you picked up her scent it was strong. You got up and ran to it only to see a young girl picking berries. You watched her for awhile confused, she must be close to Amaterasu. You slowly walk up to her, she heard your footsteps and spun around only to fall on her backside when she saw you. "where is Amaterasu?".. She looked scared "please don't hurt me for I can not nor will not tell you where my lady is". you became angry as you tried to explain. It took awhile but she finally realized you must be the love she told her about awhile ago. She sat up as she told you that you were a father and the bad news of the lords death. Time passed and she said she must go but she will return with more new. you could see the fear in her eyes but as you began to ask what's wrong she had already ran off.
