Well everyone looks like there is drama in the house. Soooo…

Here's….

Chapter 11 Revealed Truth

Sesshomaru sat in a stupor after InuYasha left out of the room. He looked at the note then stood and exited to go to his own room just a few steps down the hall. He still couldn't put all of the pieces together on how his Kagome turned out to be demon.

He closed the door behind him and went for his desk that sat close to the window that overlooked the backyard where only days ago he sat rolling in the grass with HIS Kagome. He sat down and threw back his head as the actions of that day washed over him. Her look, her scent. He had enough and he clenched his fists and heard a rumple. Looking down he finally realized that he held a note in his hand.

Carefully he unfolded the paper and began to read.

My Dearest Sesshomaru,

If you are reading this then I must have already departed. I am sorry that I had to leave you like this. Trust me when I say that it was against my will. But it's for the best.

How? You may ask. Well it is because our future and our past would not let us be. Long ago I had met an injured demon on the outskirts of the western lands. Thing happened and I conceived a child that he had no knowledge of because I took away his memories of me. A bargain was made and I gave my child up knowing that I would only be able to see her again when the time was right.

If you haven't figured it out by now then I shall tell you. I am the woman you have been seeking. The one you despise for leaving. I am Rin's mother.

Please don't be mad at me for leaving you both again. But as I have stated I had no choice.

Oh Sesshomaru I always wanted you to know. I love you. I always have and I always will. You and Rin are forever in my heart.

Sincerely yours,

Kagome

Sesshomaru read and reread the letter. Until he paused and a small smile tilted his lips. 'Don't be mad? Hmm….I'm not mad.' He crumpled the letter and tossed it then stood.

Power was whipping around him and his aura was out of control. He stood there with that same little smile on his face. His eyes blood red. His fangs elongated cutting in to his own skin. He opened his mouth, speaking to no one.

"I'm not mad. No… I'M FURIOUS AS HELL!" His body started to contort and shift into his true form. As he was finishing his transformation. The door opened.

Rin was skipping around in the backyard picking flowers when she felt a sudden emptiness. Her first instinct was to find Kagome and have her new mommy reassure her that everything was alright. She searched throughout the house and came up empty. She sniffed for her but her scent came up short and she could no longer follow it. It was almost as if she had vanished. Feeling alone and forgotten she went to her room.

Upon entering the room she noticed the karaoke machine in the middle of the floor and tears started to form in her eyes. She sat with her knees to her chest as she listened to her only recording of the only woman who made her feel whole.

The blank space came up Rin strained to hear what was being said. Then Kagome's voice came through.

"Oh my poor child. If only…if only I could have kept you all of those years ago then you would not have so much pain."

It took a minute for Rin to put two and two together but as she played the words back in her mind it finally clicked. "Kagome is my mother….my real mother."

In a rush to reveal what she had just learned she ran to her father's study. When she got there she was so ecstatic that she didn't feel all of the demonic energy that had gathered in the halls.

"FATHER! FATHER! KAGOME IS RIN'S MOTHER!" It was then as she opened her eyes and the smile fell from her face that she saw what her father had become. The last time that she had seen him in such a form he was running and playing with her on one of the rare occasions that he wasn't so busy. Yet now he looked ready to kill. The way he looked at her now made her want to run yet she stood her ground. It didn't even seem as if he had seen her. It was almost as if he looked past her.

Behind her InuYasha ran in. He was lured by the furious demonic energy and had to get all of the servants out of the house before he investigated. When Sesshomaru spotted him he snarled and knelt in a crouching position as if ready to strike. InuYasha saw this and was preparing to do battle as Sesshomaru whipped his tail around preparing to hit him with it but InuYasha dodged it as little Rin ran to protect him.

The blow hit her little body and flung her to the wall outside of the door. She hit it with a sickening crack and fell. InuYasha forgetting about his brother ran to his niece and scooped her into his arms.

Sesshomaru let out a howl of fury and turned away as he leapt out of his balcony window successfully breaking the doors and part of the frame. He took off to the sky and disappeared out of view. His howls of fury were the only things to be heard for miles.

InuYasha took poor Rin and went for the room were Kumo had retrieved Kagome. He leapt from the balcony making sure to keep Rin in his protective hold and ran into the woods. Soon he came to a wide meadow. He stopped to check on Rin who was unconscious in his arms. As he examined the extent of her injuries he saw that she had a concussion. Swearing he ran faster holding her close. He had broke his promise to her mother. He didn't keep her safe but then he didn't expect for her to have the same courage as her mother.

He ran for days on end. Every once in a while catching the sound of Sesshomaru whose fury seemed to be growing. As the night of the fifth day passed he was starting to get tired. Slowing down he caught the scent of wildflowers. The scent so strong he thought that it was from a meadow. Yet when he went towards the scent it led him to a meadow with the one woman standing in the middle who he thought he would never see again.

Kagome turned around to see InuYasha holding Rin's apparently lifeless form. She ran to them and hugged them both. Tears that seemed to have never stopped since she left the palace ran in waterfalls down her face. InuYasha dropped to the ground out of sheer exhaustion. He looked up to her and pain was etched in his face. Furious growls were heard and it seemed to be coming that way.

InuYasha knew he didn't have much time. "Kagome, Sesshomaru is furious. He read the letter and as a result of his fury Rin was injured. She has a concussion and hasn't woken up since. I'm to tired to go further and it seems that Sesshomaru has caught on to your scent and is headed this way."

Kagome, who had known that something was amiss, held up her hand to stop him from talking and then held her head up to the sky. Seconds later Kumo appeared ready to serve his master. She patted his head then told him to take all of them back to the Castle. They climbed aboard and were whisked away. Kagome made sure to settle them in and have a doctor check on Rin.

She was standing in the room which was now her daughter's, looking out of the window. Suddenly a tremor went through her body. She looked down and saw a white blur hit the barrier that housed the castle. It was relentless in its pursuit trying to get in. Upon closer inspection she could see that it was Sesshomaru. She knew that the guards and even her own brother wouldn't be able to handle this battle. She feared she wouldn't be able to either but she knew he was after her and she is who he would want. She opened the doors to the window and flung herself out of it. As she fell through the sky her orb surrounded her and she flew through the barrier making sure not to mask her scent so that she could lead him away.

As she knew he would, he followed her in to the clearing that stood below the Castle. She let her orb disappear and stood firm. He landed some distance in front of her. His eyes grew to an intense red. His veins seemed about to burst. His snout was dripping drool and it seemed to wither away any vegetation that it fell upon. She looked into his eyes attempting to reach him. He snarled at her and took a step closer. In turn she took a step back.

Her courage was disappearing and fear started to settle in. He sniffed and his demon gave a pleased snarl knowing that his prey feared him. She took a deep breath to calm herself then tried again to see though to him. He was there. Fury and hurt taking over him. She opened her mouth to sing. It started out small and weak and he seemed to be rebelling against her so she gathered her courage so that her voice could be heard all the way down to his soul. His beast's eyes turned from blood red to his beautiful hue of gold.

He started to change back to his natural form. She was nearing the end of her song as he stared at her. His hair and tail covering his nakedness. She walked to him but still stood at a distance.

Sesshomaru who's fury was subsided could only feel his hurt. He tried to prevent it from showing on his face but you could still see it in his eyes. "Why didn't you just tell me in the first place?" He had to know. It was painful.

Kagome could feel tears in her eyes. "I wanted to but I couldn't because I was afraid. You always said that you wouldn't forgive the woman who abandoned you and Rin so I thought it best to keep it secret and be happy that I could spend my time with you."

Sesshomaru just nodded and looked at her. They stood there staring at each other for a long time until he broke the silence. "Kagome, tell Rin that I love her." He turned and started to walk away.

Kagome ran to him and caught his arm. "Wait Sesshomaru! Why can't you tell her yourself. I can talk to my brother…we can talk to him. I'm sure he would give us his blessing. Then we could all go home and be a family. You, me, Rin and our unborn." She was pleading with him. The tears that were shimmering in her eyes started to fall. "Please don't leave us."

Sesshomaru winced at the knowledge that he was indeed having another child. He had forgotten in his fury and now with the knowledge that he would have killed her and their child he just couldn't bear it. He shook her hand off of his arm and turned to her. "I can't make a home with you. I can't even bear the knowledge that I almost killed you and our child. I leave Rin in your hands. Take care of her like I know you will."

His cloud formed under his feet and he took off. Flying away from her and everyone that he called family.

Kagome stood there hurt and devastated. Her silent tears turned into hysterical sobs as she fell to the ground. Kumo, who had Sango and InuYasha, landed beside her. Sango ran to her sister and wrapped her arms around her. InuYasha stood some distance away knowing that the only person to help her was Sango.

Kagome held onto Sango for dear life. Sango stood and helped her up. The all climbed on Kumo and flew back to the Castle. Once there Kagome told them everything. Her sobs making everything almost incoherent letting them only be able to hear the few details that let them know that Sesshomaru would not be in the picture no more.

Life in the Castle changed that day. A hurt, pregnant woman. A lonely child. And an half demon who looked after them.

Thanks for reading my story. I know I know. It was all messed up how it all went down but trust things should only get better.

See Ya!
