Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Summary: AU, two childhood friends, two different worlds, a simple bond existed between the two. A bond of hatred. What will happen if they are forced to marry each other for a simple alliance?

Truthful Dreams

"My son!" The King went to hug him, but his son himself stopped his father.

"I am not here for you, father. I am here for that woman." Sesshomaru pointed to the queen.

"Your mother?" The King looked at him confused.

"No, she is not my mother." Sesshomaru walked up to Kagome and the Queen on the stage and came face-to-face with the queen.

"Sesshomaru..." The Queen whispered, still shocked at how her step-son had dared stepped on this kingdom, from where he was banished.

"I have some questions for you..." Sesshomaru stared intensely at his 'mother'. "I want the truth from 13 years ago."

Chapter 8: Unveiling Truth

"What do you mean truth?" The queen narrowed her eyes towards Sesshomaru.

"You know perfectly well what I mean." Sesshomaru stepped closer to the queen.

"Sesshomaru, stop this!" Queen Izayoi sternly said.

"Or what?" Sesshomaru circled the queen. "You'll get me killed? On grounds of disrespecting the queen?"

"Sesshomaru!" Izayoi snapped, fixing him with a sharp look.

"If you want me killed, I can give you a better reason." Sesshomaru ignored. He raised his poisonous claws, ready to strike his step-mother's throat.

"Sesshomaru!" The king and Inuyasha watched from the side-lines.

Sesshomaru brought his claws down, and as it happens in every story, time seemed to have slowed down. Kagome had been there as it happened, right beside the queen. Blood spilled to the ground, the crowd gasped at what had just happened. Their eyes held horror at the site taking place in front of them. One of the watchers, Haru, was trembling fiercely, his fear had come true.

"Get out of my way, little girl." Sesshomaru stared into chocolate brown eyes.

"I'm not a little girl," Kagome smiled at him. She had blocked his strike.

Kagome was in between the queen and Sesshomaru within seconds. She was holding a small dagger, which she had hidden under her dress. A trail of blood trickled down from the dagger to the ground as Sesshomaru's claws dug in. A small dagger was obviously no match for a very experienced demon. It did no damage to Sesshomaru.

"What is your business with the queen?" Kagome eyed the mysterious man.

"My business with this woman is none of your business." He looked down at her.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha was beside Kagome, taking his mother away from his out-of-his-mind brother.

"My, my, it's been a while, little brother." Kagome felt air, and in less than a second, Sesshomaru was in front of Inuyasha.

'He's fast.' Kagome thought, looking down at her injury; she had a small gash near her wrist, nothing fatal, but there was still poison running through her veins. The beautiful dress Kagome was wearing was now stained with blood, the pure white and blue cloth was covered with spots of red, slowly increasing in size. 'Whoever he is, he's dangerous. I have to get the queen out of here.' Kagome thought as she started to breathe harder.

"Inuyasha, do you know why you are the new prince?" Sesshomaru looked Inuyasha straight in the eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha guarded his mother, ready to defend her with his life, ready for any attack his step-brother threw at them.

"Did your mother ever tell you the truth?" Sesshomaru glanced at the queen.

"The truth?" Inuyasha felt his throat run dry. Sesshomaru's eyes held so much pain and sadness, and yet they looked so empty.

"She hasn't has she?" He chuckled a little. "Think about it, Little brother. Who is supposed to succeed father, the younger or older brother?" Sesshomaru glanced at his father, who stood shocked.

"But you were banished when I was 3, wasn't that why I succeed father?" Inuyasha glanced at his father for reassurance; his father looked away, giving no answer to his son's question.

"Looks like you have been kept in the dark for 13 long years, little brother." Sesshomaru patted his brother on the shoulder.

"But..." Inuyasha frowned at this confusing situation. "It doesn't make sense..."

"It would make sense if this woman here, answered my questions." Sesshomaru had grabbed Queen Izayoi by the throat, strangling her in front of everyone, Inuyasha had let his guard down.

"Sesshomaru!" The king was beside his son, now. "Let her go..." He put a calming hand on his son's shoulder.

"Just like how you let my mother go?" Sesshomaru let a cold smile pass.

"We can talk, but later." The king tried to pull his son away from the queen.

"It's been 13 years later, father." Sesshomaru let his grip on the queen's throat tighten.

"Let her go." Kagome's voice came from the other side of him; she was holding the dagger to his throat.

"Feisty," Sesshomaru laughed at her attempt. "Little girl, you don't know what this woman was about to do to you." Sesshomaru looked at Kagome.

"That has nothing to do with me, what you are doing now, is wrong." Kagome brought the dagger closer, drawing a little bit of blood.

Everyone stood still; the slightest movement could've brought someone's death, and would've most likely doomed them all. The crowd had backed as far away as possible from the stage, where an unusual scene in the royal family, was uncovering. Sango and Miroku were also part of this crowd, but they were too far away to do anything, there were about 10, 000 or more people in this hall. Haru was praying on the inside that everything would turn out fine, that everything would be ok. Ena was shocked as everybody, this had been the first wedding she had ever seen, in which all the family members were at each other's throats.

"Have it your way," Sesshomaru dropped the queen, who gasped for air, her face slightly pale from the lack of air.

"Good," Kagome pulled the dagger back.

No one moved to assist the queen, for they didn't know how Sesshomaru would act from this point, they did not need any more blood shed on a wedding day.

"I advise you to take some medicine," Sesshomaru smirked at Kagome, as her vision became blurry.

"I can handle a little poison." Kagome snapped back.

"You can't handle mine," Sesshomaru turned to his father. "Your wife is saved thanks to this girl." He didn't look at his father as he spoke.

"Sesshomaru, please stay," The king looked hurt at his son's actions.

"I am banished, I cannot stay," Sesshomaru turned around and started to walk away.

"Wait." Before Sesshomaru could leave the stage, Inuyasha grabbed him by the arm.

"What do you want?" Sesshomaru didn't bother turning around.

"I am going to be the future king, I can make this decision. I can bring you back." Inuyasha spoke softly.

"You can't bring back my mother, Inuyasha." This was the first time Inuyasha had ever heard his brother say his name.

"Sesshomaru, I want to know the truth." Inuyasha looked at his mother, who was shocked at what he had just said.

"The truth is bitter," Sesshomaru eyes soften for just a second, before regaining the cold mirror.

"It may be, but you have to stay, for Kagome. She will die if you don't." Inuyasha looked at Kagome, her face was now turning slightly blue, her breathing had quickened.

"I can't," Sesshomaru pulled his arm away from Inuyasha.

"Sesshomaru! Do it for the sake of your father," The king yelled after him.

Sesshomaru stopped for a second, and looked back. Kagome was almost to the ground. She was starting to sweat, yet she still stared at him with those fiery eyes. Sesshomaru looked over at the queen and then the king. Sesshomaru looked back at Kagome before turning around and walking out of the hall.

"He left..." Inuyasha stared his brother's figure disappearing into the darkness.

Kagome let out a groan and fell to the ground, she was losing her conscience in seconds, soon she would be leaving the world. 'He left...who was he?' Kagome thought before closing her eyes, the last thing she saw was Inuyasha and everyone rushing up to her.

Wake up; you need to wake up Kagome.

Kagome opened her eyes slightly, and found herself in her own room, but it was empty. There was a candle that gave the room a slightest light, it stood on her night stand, where there was a glass of water. Kagome attempted to move her arm to the table, but came to no vial, her body couldn't move at all. 'What's wrong with me?' Kagome thought as she moved her eyes frantically around the room, looking for anyone to help. She opened her mouth to talk, but nothing came out. It was like she was awake in a coma. A few seconds later, she heard her window open; she tried to look over, but couldn't turn her head. If it were an attacker, she was dead.

"Relax," A deep voice came from the shadows, it was a familiar voice. "I'm not here to kill you, not yet anyways."

The man walked up to Kagome's side, and Kagome's eyes lit up a little. It was Sesshomaru, as far as she knew, he was the only one that could save her from the poison. Kagome's life could be saved, but this man didn't seem all too friendly to begin with. 'Why is he back?' Kagome thought as she watched Sesshomaru take off his black, full length coat, and the hat that he wore to keep himself from being noticed. His long silver hair came into view, Kagome was amazed, and his hair was longer than Inuyasha's, probably the same length as the King's. He wore a simple muscle-T and jeans, with running shoes. He looked pretty run down, then again, he had been banished, so what do you expect?

"I am not a friend," He spoke quietly, taking a small bottle out of his pocket. "I know you can't talk, you probably have a few minutes left before you die." He looked at Kagome with the same cold-mirrored eyes. "Here," he helped her sit up and drink some water.

"Thanks," Kagome voice cracked and it was hard to talk. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to give you this," Sesshomaru showed Kagome a bottle; it had red liquid in it.

"What is this?" Kagome looked at the bottle.

"It's your life," Sesshomaru placed it on the table.

"Shouldn't I drink it?" Kagome looked confused at Sesshomaru, she couldn't move, how was she supposed to get to the bottle?

"Yes," He looked at Kagome, "but, you need to promise me something."

"What?" Kagome's eyes started to get a little blurry.

"That you will not wear your crown, unless I say so," Sesshomaru spoke.

"Why..." Kagome started to pass away.

"You don't have time," Sesshomaru interrupted her.

"I Promise," Kagome's voice sounded heavy.

"Drink this," Sesshomaru took another glass of water, and let one drop of the liquid drop into the water.

Sesshomaru helped Kagome drink the medicine, her energy started to flow back, her eyes got their vision back; in fact it seemed that her vision was better than before. Kagome hadn't felt such strength, she felt so powerful. She sat up straight and stared at her hands, her finger nails had grown longer, and sharper. Kagome then suddenly felt her body burning; she was under the moon light again. 'Not this again, what is going on?' Kagome thought as she pulled her blanket over her head, to cover herself from the moon light.

"You'll feel some changes, and soon you'll realize who you truly are," Sesshomaru was back in his old attire. "This will be your protection, if you ever need it."

He placed the bottle on the night table, and disappeared with in seconds. 'He saved me,' Kagome thought as she stared at the spot where he once stood. 'What are the changes he was talking about?' Kagome thought to herself, as she stared at her hand, she did feel different than before.

"I guess I'll check it out," Kagome got out of her bed, with the blanket still protecting her from the moonlight.

She made her way to the bathroom and turned on the lights, the bathroom was still the same dull old, dark, place. She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror, her hair had grown longer, almost touching the ground (or so she thought), and her eyes were a different shade. They were no longer dark brown chocolate coloured eyes, they were blue, ocean blue eyes, that held the depths of her past. Kagome dropped her blanket, and then noticed that she had some sort of marks under her pajamas, she pulled her sleeve up and noticed a mark of wolf appeared on her right forearm.

"What is going on?" Kagome was shocked at what she was becoming, at what she had become.

Queen's Office

Everyone, the King, Inuyasha, Kikyou, Sango and Miroku were down stairs trying to figure what to do with Kagome. Inuyasha had given a little bit of his blood to try and slow down the poison, but it didn't look like it was going to hold until morning. Everyone was worried, even Inuyasha. The coronation of the Princess was interrupted terribly, and left the princess-to-be in a fatal condition. Back in the Queen's office, the Queen sat in her chair deep in thought. She knew how Sesshomaru had found out that something had happened 13 years ago, something other than what he was told. A knock shook the queen out of her thought.

"Yes?" Her serious voice echoed through the empty room.

"Your majesty, Young Master Haru is here," A servant slowly opened the door.

"Let him in," The Queen spoke, she had furrowed eyebrows, deep in thought again.

Haru slowly peered into the study, before stepping in. "Lock the door behind you," She spoke to Haru in a monotone voice. "And you," She motioned to the servant. "Stay, I'll need you in a moment." The Queen held no emotion at this hour of the night. Silent elapsed for quite some time; neither party dared to speak, until the Queen got up from her own seat, and walked over to Haru. Her shoes clicking on the floor, click, click, click. It sounded like a bomb, ready to go off any moment. The queen didn't dare to look at Haru; she knew he was the one who had let the secret pass. He was the traitor, and traitors don't get away under the Queen's law, no matter who they were. The queen stopped right beside Haru, looking the opposite way from him. He gulped. He knew what he had in store, banishment.

"Haru," Her voice didn't hold the warmth of a very cheerful Queen, she sounded like someone who had lost their hearts to the bottom of the cold sea.

"Aunt Iza--" Haru attempted to explain.

"Queen Izayoi..." She spoke sternly. "I do not consider you my nephew anymore, Haru. You have betrayed me."

"He would've killed me," Haru looked at the Queen, he expected her to understand if he explained. "You have to give me another chance."

"This was your first chance…" The queen walked towards the windows, she looked up at the full moon, sometimes disappearing behind the dark clouds of the night. It was a lovely site. "It's a full moon today," The queen gave Haru a deadly side look.

"Your majesty..." Haru whispered, he started to sweat, he felt scared. He had never seen his Aunt like this, ever.

"I have no use for you anymore," The queen raised a finger, and brought it down. In an instant, lightning shot out of her finger and struck Haru, straight in his heart.

"No..." Haru had a deep wound in his chest, his knees slowly weakened and he fell to the ground. Blood trickled down from his mouth, as his face hit the floor.

The servant stared in shock at what just happened. He knew that something was wrong with the Queen, and if he did anything to make her hate him, he would end up like the dead man in front of him, and he wasn't even related to the Queen. The servant was shaking terribly; he had fallen to the ground when the lightning came out of no where, his breath shaky and his palms sweating.

"You," The Queen looked at him. "Take care of him." The Queen looked back out of the window and peered at the moon, her brows furrowed again.

"M-M-Majesty...W-What would y-you want m-me t-to do with h-him?" He spoke with a shaky voice.

In seconds the Queen was in front of the man, looking him in the eye, the man's pupil's dilated, and all of a sudden he lost control of his body and mind. He became a puppet. He picked up Haru and exited out the door, leaving barely any blood on the floor. The Queen sighed at the servant's exit; she then grabbed a moisturized napkin from her desk, and wiped the blood off the floor. She then brought her other hand, and from the same finger she had just murdered her nephew, she burnt the only evidence of his existence from the world.

"This is going to be harder than I thought," The Queen spoke to herself, in the dark room as she watched the fire consume the napkin into thin air. "Sesshomaru is going to create bigger problems."

Once the flame disappeared, the Queen went back to the window, to look at the only source of light in the room, the majestic full moon.

"This was only the beginning," A figure appeared from the shadows towards the queen.

"Sesshomaru!" The Queen gasped, mostly in shock, at herself for not being able to detect him there. "Since when have you been here?"

"Since the beginning," He answered in a monotone voice. "You killed your only nephew,"

"I had no use of him," The Queen regained control of her mind, and emotions.

"Just like how you had no use of my mother," Sesshomaru had grabbed the Queen by the throat once again, but this time, the Queen also had her finger, ready to strike straight into his heart. No one was watching, there were no interruptions or an audience.

"I did not kill your mother," The Queen spat out, slightly losing air.

"Then where is she? What did you do to her?" Sesshomaru tightened his claws.

"Sesshomaru, you aren't going to get anything from killing me," The Queen remained in control, not giving in to her step-son. "You will lose everything if you did," The Queen gave him a stern look.

Sesshomaru thought for a moment, before letting the Queen slip through his fingers. "I'll tell you what happened, on that day, when you were 6 years old." The Queen took a couple of shaky breaths.

"It was a long time ago…during the war…things here began to change…"

Izayoi sat down to explain her long tale, for it was a very long tale to tell.

Down Stairs

Everyone was sitting around the fireplace in thought. Miroku was a little anxious tonight, the full moon made him feel stronger. Inuyasha was pondering on his brother's words from earlier. He wanted to know the truth, even if it was a bitter one. The King looked like he regretted doing something in the past.

"What's going to happen to Kagome?" Sango spoke after a long silence.

"She isn't going to survive…not from his poison," Kikyou answered. She was sitting beside Inuyasha, with a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"There has to be something!" Sango felt enraged, for feeling so helpless.

"Sango, we're thinking of every possibility," Miroku tried to calm her.

"Then we're missing something, if we haven't figured out how to save her," She glared at him. "Can't Inuyasha keep up her alive with his blood?"

"It won't work if I keep giving it to her, the poison becomes immune to it, plus my blood isn't as strong as my brother's." Inuyasha stared at the floor, as he spoke softly.

Everyone sighed, not being able to help the one person dying felt really terrible. Silence elapsed for the second time. Miroku suddenly realised something, and glanced at the king. "There's an invader in the castle!" Everyone looked at him, as if he was alien.

"Miroku, it's impossible to get past our security, you're probably too stressed from working your brain for this long." Inuyasha calmly got up.

"No. I can feel the presence of a werewolf. It feels like it's a female…and it's moving closer towards us. Fast…" Everyone stared at the door, waiting for the invader to enter any moment.

The door suddenly banged open to reveal a figure with a silky black blanket covering their body, as if for protection. They took small steps into the room, not letting anyone see their face. Miroku backed away as far as he could, he didn't want to be involved in this, at least not in front of Sango. Inuyasha and the King stared at the figure with confusion; Inuyasha soon noticed the blanket, for it was his very own.

"That's my blanket," He left Kikyou's side and went to pull the blanket off.

"Hey!" A familiar voice yelled and struggled to keep the blanket.

"K-Kagome?" Inuyasha was confused.

"What's going on?" The King looked over at Miroku, who was just as confused.

Inuyasha was deep in thought, 'How can this be? It doesn't smell like her scent, and yet her voice tells me it's her. There's something wrong…" He thought as he continued to pull on the blanket.

"Will you stop!?" Kagome yelled.

"Take off the blanket." Inuyasha said sternly.

"No!" Kagome backed away, almost tripping.

"Kago—" Inuyasha was about to yell back.

"It's because of the moon light," Miroku suddenly spoke. "Let's close the windows,"

The King nodded and signalled everyone to close all the curtains and make sure that there was no trace of the moon anywhere. Everyone was back in their own seats, except for Miroku, who still remained as far away as possible.

"Now, can you take off the blanket?" Sango asked.

"No!" Kagome sat down on the floor, with the blanket covering her.

"For crying out loud," Inuyasha clawed through his own blanket, being careful of Kagome.

The silky pieces of what was once a wonderful blanket fell to the ground, revealing Kagome. She was crawling herself up, so that no one could see what had happened to her. Obviously, that wasn't enough to stop everyone from gasping. Sango stood up in shock and stared at Kagome's 'transformed' body.

"Are those dog ears?" She choked out.

"Dog ears!?" Kagome's head shot up, and she ran her hand through her hair, and felt two soft and fuzzy ears sitting on top of her head. She let out a scream again…

"Would you stop yelling!?" Inuyasha and the King covered their ears.

"What is going on!?" Kagome stood up and went to the closest mirror hanging on the wall to see if it were true. "I have dog ears! Nooo!"

"That's not the only thing you have," Inuyasha tried his best to hold in his laughter.

"What?" Kagome looked at him with misery.

"Kagome…you might want to look behind you…" Sango was confused, whether she should laugh or be worried.

Kagome gulped, and slowly turned her head to look at what was behind her. At first, she noticed that her hair had gotten extremely long, but then she noticed that her hair was moving. 'No!' Kagome thought as ran her hand through her hair and pulled it up. 'Nooo!' Kagome was near to tears. It had turned out that her hair hadn't gotten longer at all; she just had grown a tail. Kagome sank back to the ground, with her head in her hands.

"Does this mean she can be my pet?" Inuyasha whispered to his father.

"Inuyasha!" The King glared at him for his wrong timing.

"What!? She is almost exactly like a dog now," Inuyasha chuckled to himself.

"I can hear you," Kagome glared at him with her piercing blue eyes. Ears and tail was not all she had grown, she also had fangs and claws, just as sharp as Inuyasha's.

"It was meant to be heard," Inuyasha said.

Everything was silent once again; no one knew what to do, heck, they didn't even know what had happened. Kagome's transformation and Sesshomaru's strange entrance and exit had everyone shaken up. Sango couldn't take her eyes off of Kagome, she was just too shocked. Inuyasha had gone over to Miroku, to make sure he was okay, and cover for him, if he needed to.

"What happened?" Kikyou finally spoke, softly, her voice as gentle and kind, like an angel from the heavens.

Everyone looked at Kagome once again, waiting for an answer.

"I don't know…" Kagome sighed, and looked towards the ground, with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Well, something obviously happened. What did you do? You could barely move, you can't change just like that!" Sango was feeling frustrated.

"I didn't change just like that," Kagome spoke seriously. "I was given something,"

"Given what?" The King asked, not liking where this was going.

"I don't know what it was, but I still have it. It was some sort of liquid." Kagome thought about it.

"Who gave it to you?" The King asked.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome looked up, to see how everyone would react. "He came through the window, I think, and he gave me this bottle," Kagome pulled out the small bottle of red liquid from her pocket. "He only gave me a drop of this stuff,"

"That can't be," The King got up from his spot, and went over to Kagome. "Give that to me,"

The King took the bottle and looked at it very carefully, he sniffed it to make sure of what he was thinking was true, hoping at the same time, it wasn't.

"What is that?" Kagome asked.

"It's blood," Miroku spoke, with a raspy voice. He was panting, trying his best to control himself. Sweat started to drip off of his forehead.

"Blood? whose blood?" Sango asked.

"Werewolf blood," Miroku answered.

"Werewolf…but how can that be?" Inuyasha looked up at his father, to confirm that it was werewolf blood.

"Miroku is right, this blood belongs to a werewolf, and since Kagome drank it, she has probably transformed into a werewolf herself, it must be temporary," The King gave the bottle back to Kagome.

"No, that's not what happened," Kikyou spoke, she was a specialist in potions, and she had experience with different types of blood.

"What do you mean?" Sango was freaking out about where this was going. "Are you saying that Kagome is permanently like this!?"

"No, she will transform back eventually, most likely when the sun comes up. The amount of blood she had taken was too small to last her a long time." Kikyou took the small bottle and examined it.

"So, you're saying that it is temporary…so then what's wrong?" Sango asked.

"Werewolf is one of the strongest of creatures in the world, they are to be feared, and once in time, they were. Their blood is extremely powerful, and it is impossible to survive off of a werewolf's blood, unless you are one yourself," Kikyou looked at Kagome.

"Are you saying that I AM a werewolf?" Kagome suddenly stood up, outraged with the sudden conclusion.

"That's the only way you could've adapted to this blood. The transformation is the proof of it, you have werewolf blood running through your veins, and you had that blood since the day you were born." Kikyou sighed.

"But I was a normal girl," Kagome couldn't believe it.

"Maybe you weren't. Kagome, you were 3 years old during the war times, maybe something happened." The King suggested.

"My family is dead. When I was 11, we were attacked by some people, and both my father and brother died. That's as close as I can get to for 'war'…" Kagome looked down at the ground.

"I'm sorry to hear that my dear, I had no idea," The King pulled Kagome to sit beside him and talk.

"So, does this mean, your father was a werewolf?" Inuyasha questioned Kagome.

"No, he was a normal person," Kagome sighed.

"By normal, do you mean demon?" Inuyasha asked.

"I guess I do," Kagome looked up at the ceiling. "Both my brother and father were demons…then how can I possibly be any different?"

'Then again, I can do magic…"I'm going to call you...Kagome...my little sister, Kagome."' Kagome's eyes widened suddenly.

"My brother…" She started, still shocked.

Everyone looked at her, wanting to know what was going on.

"I wasn't really his sister…he saved me, from a demon. A demon was trying to kill me, to take my powers, but he couldn't. I was 3 years old. I would've died if my wound hadn't been healed by my brother." Kagome spoke shakily. "He took me in; he took me to his own father. They gave me shelter, without knowing who or what I was."

"You're family was attacked wasn't it?" The King asked.

"Yes…" Kagome placed her head in her hands.

"How did you survive?" The King asked, placing a hand on her shoulder for comfort.

"My brother escaped with me through the back door, but then someone followed us and he was killed. I was saved by someone else, I don't know who. I don't know how father died, but I saw our house burn down to the ground and he wasn't found." Kagome spoke softly.

"Kagome, I knew the man who took you in, your father," The King held back his emotions. "He was a great man. I had no idea how his and his son's death came to be. I just knew you were the only one who had survived. I searched for you high and low, and I finally found you. Now, I understand what that man had wanted to protect."

"What?" Sango asked curiously.

"They wanted to protect Kagome."

Kagome looked up at everyone. Realizing what had happened that night, how important it was for her to survive. But why? She was the reason they had died, what was so important about her that was worth dying for?

"Kagome, how did you learn magic?" Kikyou asked.

"I just learnt from the witch academy," Kagome answered her normally, no idea where this was going.

"But, you can't become a witch or a wizard just by wanting to…" Kikyou looked at her, examining her.

"Are you saying that I have witch's blood running in me too?" Kagome sighed.

"It's possible." Kikyou shrugged it away.

"It's very possible, maybe Kagome is their daughter?" The King muttered something he didn't really want to say out loud.

"Whose?" Everyone asked in unison.

"It's a long story," The King looked at everyone. "It goes back 16 years, when the war had started." The King explained

"What war?" Inuyasha asked.

"You don't know about it. You were too little to even remember, same with Kagome." The King said, sighing, remembering those days, remembering the time he had lost his love.

"Well then tell us," Sango sat down in front of the King. "We need to know the truth,"

Ahh~i guess that was more than just 3 months ....sorryyy~~
