Jaken: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mistress Ava has done it again! Chapter….
Ava: "Wait! Not yet! (Where did I put it….. crap! I know it's here somewhere!)"
*Ava digs through a huge box of papers throwing them everywhere*
Jaken: "Mistress Ava?"
Ava:"I said WAIT!" *rustle rustle* "Ah Hah! Found it! Now you can Jaken!"
Jaken: "Here is chapter 10!"
Chapter 10
The Tangled Webs of Destiny
He kneeled there on the floor of his study in utter disbelief, how was his mother here? She had been gone for centuries, he…hell he didn't know what to think.
The former Lady smiled coyly at her son, "Well now…are you going to stay frozen there like you have seen a ghost, or are you going to give a proper welcome to you mother?" Lady Yui said with a giggle.
"This one has thought you dead mother." Sesshomaru said as he rose from his spot on the study floor. "How is this possible, this one sees that you are in corporal form, to which means that you are not of the living, you are in spirit form." He stated with suspicion.
Lady Yui giggled yet again, "Not quiet dead, not really. It is a long story my son, one that you need to know. I have waited many years for this day, when I knew that your farther was to take a human hime and have a child with her; I had planned to hide my body somewhere safe, while I attached my soul to that there scroll. That girl that lies on your study floor is of great importance to the demon race. She is the one that will save us from annihilation."
"Then why are you here before me, what does this have anything to do with this Sesshomaru?" He asked as he sat once again in his chair behind his desk.
Yui sighed; her son was not the same one she had left behind those many years ago. She wondered if that was the reason for his sudden indifference towards her. She floated across the study floor to hover in front of her son. "I do not know if you remember Lady Una." She started.
"I remember she was mated to my sire's general, general Akatsuki if my memory is correct.' He said.
"You memory is my son, she was indeed his mate, how is he by the way?" She asked
"He cast his self into exile after you disappeared." He stated.
"Pity…well before you were born, your father had an alliance with the elementals that wanted nothing but peace to rein once again. Lady Una became my true friend in that time; she even delivered you when she was with child herself. And that child she carried had a power that I had never felt before; you were the same when you were born. Funny it was that you two are two moons apart, with powers unlike anyone has ever witnessed. One night I had a vision, of you being the protector of Lady Una's child, and together, you both would bring absolute peace to these lands."
"Who was this child I was supposed to protect, they are long dead now, the whole clan was." Sesshomaru questioned.
"That's the long part of this story, that child is the very one that lies over there," she said as she swept one of her hands in Kagome's direction, "The barrier that surround her is of my doing. Her mother sacrificed her life to make sure that Kagome's destiny is fulfilled. She sent her to the future knowing that one day she would return. I, having loved Una like a sister, took her soul and trapped it in the very scroll I trapped myself in, just so she can see her daughter once again. I am here to make sure you do what is expected of you." Yui said as she saw her son frown at the knowledge he just received.
"That woman there is the child of Lady Una and general Akatsuki! She is supposed to be dead, what matter of sorcery is this!" Sesshomaru growled at his mother.
"SILENCE!", Yui growled back to which her son listened, "Know your place pup! I may be in corporal form, but I will be alive again soon! I have foreseen this, you and that girl's destiny are intertwined. You are to protect her and to take her as your mate!" Yui all but barked at him.
"MATE! Never, this one will not mate with a human!" He snarled.
"She isn't human, she is entirely different, she looks human yes, but she has the life span of a demon, and a power so great that it will kill her, in return kill the future of the demon race." Yui said as she looked at Kagome with a sad smile.
"Kill her?" Sesshomaru asked as he heard his beast growl in his mind, why did he feel such rage at this statement.
"I can see that your beast already agrees with me.", she giggled to which Sesshomaru growled, "I know that you have seen what her power does to her, crippling her with great amount of pain." Yui stated.
"Indeed."
"her power is in chaos, so much so that it releases itself from her body, but it will eventually kill her, unless; she is mated to a demon of equal power to tame her wild one, that demon being you. Just watch with you own eyes and you will see. The more she is in you presences, the more often her power will flux, and the pain will get worse, in a way, speeding up her death until you mate her." Yui said.
"This one must think on this, do not tell her. I do not want her do have blinded hope." He stated.
"Fine."
"Now will you release her, I will protect her but as of yet, not mate her."
"No, she will remain this way for five moons." Yui stated as she floated to Kagome's prone form and dropped the barrier.
"Why?" he asked.
"Her mother, before she died told me where she hid her, this you already know, what you do not, is that I left dreams in the people I knew she would meet, to get her hereto you and to that scroll. Her mother is going to train her, she will be a formidable opponent when she awakens. I must go for now my son, but I will return, in the flesh and not this corporal form. Protect her with your life, there is another great danger out there besides the half-breed that seeks the jewel." Yui said as she began to fade.
"What is this danger?"
"I have not seen it, but I have felt it. I know it will reveal it's self soon. Goodbye for now my son." Yui said as she completely faded away.
Sesshomaru stood there and looked down at the girl still unconscious. He knelt down and gently picked her up and took her to her chamber. (Mate? How can this be, but I will see if what my mother says is true, then I will make my decision on whether to mate her or not.), he thought as he laid her in the bed. As he left, he knew he needed to get a message to general Akatsuki, he needed to know that his daughter had returned. Sesshomaru made a quick left down the hall back to his study, unaware of what was happening in the mind of Kagome while she slept.
Once in his study, he barked for Jaken's presence. When the imp slithered in, Sesshomaru proceeded to give orders of things he wanted done immediately, such as guards placed outside the door of Kagome's chamber, and on the balcony of her room. If anyone saw Inuyasha and the now very alive Kikyo, they were to throw them in the dungeons until Kagome has awakened and has seen them. It was completely up to her if they lived or died. Jaken wrote all this down and made his way to the door when Sesshomaru stopped him.
"One more thing Jaken." Sesshomaru stated.
"Yes Mi Lord?" Jaken shrilled.
"I want you personally, to find general Akatsuki and tell him that his daughter has returned, and that his presence here is required." Sesshomaru told the imp.
"Yes Mi lord, b…bu…but where do I find him." Jaken shrieked.
"In the western mountains south of here, the former home of the elementals. NOW GO!" Sesshomaru snarled.
"Right away Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken screamed as he scrambled out the study door.
(What I wouldn't give to have Naraku or my bastard of a bother here, I really need to kill something.) He growled to his self, maybe a soak in his personal hot spring might help elevate the stress of the pass few days. As he thought that, he made a right turn from his study to his chambers to do just that.
Ava: "Well that's chapter 10, sorry it took so long to update, now that I am back at work, I've had a lot to catch up on there. I am so glad that everyone is enjoying this story, I know that I am! Jaken please do your job, for I must do mine."
*Ava leaves the room with an arm full of papers and pens.*
Jaken: "Please read and review! Protect this lowly servant from my mistress's wrath!
