Staring at the demon who calls himself, my father.
'he can't be my father, there is no possible way, the stories about him, hating humans and half demons, that taint his pure bloodline' I thought as I was still backing up to the porch, "No, I won't believe it!" I turned and ran, locking myself in the bedroom, I was given when I stay here, it use to be Edward's room, before he was married, I collapsed on the bed sobbing. The next thing, I knew a cold hand was rubbing circles on my back.
"if you think a locked door is going to keep me out, think again," Rose's soft tone stated, "I'm not Jasper or Edward who know what your feeling or thinking, but I'm here if you want to talk, I'll stay here all night if you want me too."
"Where's Embry?" I asked, my first thought as my crying was almost over.
"the moron took Embry back to La Push under Alpha Command, he was angry and torn between trying to kill this Sesshomaru and being with you." Rose answered, I could tell she was torn too.
My bottom lip quivered as I crawled over the covers to curl up on Rose's lap, she wrapped in her stone like arms, it wasn't like being held by Embry, but right now. I don't think I need that kind of love right now.
A soft knock came from the door, Rose and I looked at it.
"Rose, its Alice, Bella, and Esme, and Kagome." Alice explained,
Rose looked down at me, and I nodded slightly, she slowly got up then darted and unlocked the door and was back before I could even blink, my lap in her lap again.
The girls came in, then and surrounded me each touching, Esme was rubbing my ears. Kagome hugged me from the side, Alice was sitting on the floor by my head, Bella has my feet in her lap. Different kinda of love.
"the guys are keeping a close watch on Sesshomaru." Bella explained, her eyes narrowed as she glanced at the window.
"why now?" I whispered, "my life was starting to be perfect."
I had two loving families, a best friend, who was beautiful beyond compare, and the wonderful Embry who imprinted on me, to be whatever I needed, Charlie, my uncle who took me in when I had no one left. Gave me a home and place where I finally belonged and Emily who took over the role of mother to a lost lonely little scared pup then I had my sisters Claire, Kim, and Rachel and my brothers, Jared, Paul, Sam, Quil, Jacob. That's when I realized I didn't need Sesshomaru in my life, because I already had a father figure. Carlisle, who treated me as a daughter.
"I don't need Sesshomaru." I finally spoke outloud, then smirked, I have learned all I needed to about the true role of a father. I sat up and got to my feet.
"Elena?" Esme asked.
I looked at her, and smiled. "I don't need the demon who sired me, he's not my father."
"what are you going to do?" asked Alice.
"I'm going to tell that over inflated egocentric demon, what a father really is." I snarled
I opened the door, not before grabbing my throwing stars. I made sure my pendant was around my neck, sighing in relief that it wasn't cut off.
"But you're still injured" Esme protested,
"I don't need two hands to use the shadow hold," I replied,
I walked down the stairs, and out of the door where my vampire cousins were standing between me and Sesshomaru.
'Let me at him, Edward' I thought as I reached the line of vampires.
"are you sure about this, Elena?" Edward asked, looking at me with my right arm in a sling,
"Sure, as I'm standing here." I answered, I gripped one of the throwing stars, Edward moved slightly just enough for me to get past, craped I forgot about the new moon. But as luck would have it, I could see light beginning to creep its way to us.
"Finally!" exclaimed Inuyasha, pulsing he transformed back into a half demon,
I nodded at him, he nodded back still surprised that I was his niece. With the sun came what I was looking for, a shadow.
I smirked, "Demon Ninja Shadow Hold!" throwing the star at Sesshomaru's shadow.
"Now that you can't move, I have a few things to say." I begin
"Is this anyway to treat your father?" asked Sesshomaru, knowing better to try to fight a shadow hold.
"You are not my father!" I shouted, causing what birds where in the forest to take flight, and two wolves to appear out of the forest, a chocolate brown colored one, and another that has dark gray fur. Quil and Paul, mostly under Alpha Command to protect me.
I step out of the line of my bodyguards, and glared with hatred at Sesshomaru, "You weren't there for me, when mom died, and I don't want you here not."
Sesshomaru's eyes widen so far that I didn't know what was going to happened, "Alisa's dead?" he let out an anguished howl that threatened to bring me to tears,
"This isn't the Sesshomaru, I know and hate." Inuyasha stated covering his ears.
"Now I'm really confused," I stated as the howling stopped,
"She didn't tell you about me?" Sesshomaru's voice laced with loss of my mother.
"No, she never said a blasted thing." I answered,
"She was my mate, and but she left me," Sesshomaru stated
my mind reeled at the fact, but why didn't mom say anything about him. I thought i was a product of a drunken one night stand,
"I wanted you and i still do," Sesshomaru whispered,
"No, I don't want you, i already have someone i think of as a father." I stated, "because i realized that Fathers are kind. Fathers protect you. Fathers raise you."
Carlisle and Edward looked at each other sharing that one bond, they were fathers.
"I'm protected by the Cullens, and The wolves, I was raised by my mother. They are my family. Forks is my home. And you are certainly not welcome here" I finished as i turned around and went back inside.
"Kagome-shisuta?" I smiled, reverting somewhat back to Japanese,
"Did you just call me sister?" Kagome asked
I nodded "Let's get some sleep,"
I looped my good arm around Kagome's shoulder, and walked back up to my room at the Cullen house.
I would miss Kagome so much, but I had more then enough weirdness to last me the rest of my life.
A few hours later, i felt someone poking my left shoulder,
"go away," I moaned as i rolled over only to have my eyes pop open as i landed on my right shoulder, i sat staight up, and gripped my shoulder. "Son of a..." i trailed off. I nearly forgotten the dagger wound.
"Wake up, or don't you want to see us off?" Kagome stated. Way to chipper in the morning or was it after noon.
"You're not leaving until Monday?" I asked as i rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.
"Elena, you have slept for a whole day and night," Kagome answered, "and Sesshomaru is long gone after his shadow disappeared he left to lick his wounds sort of speak,"
my mouth fell open, "Well why didn't you kick me awake?"
"Oh Inuyasha wanted to, he's still reeling about being your uncle." Kagome replied
"He's the only blood family, I'm claiming." I spat out.
"Nice," breathed Kagome, she looked at me, "How's your shoulder?"
"Hurts, I never had a injury like this before, how long does it take to heal?" I asked,
"depending on what kind, Inuyasha would be down two days, but that was five hundred years ago, you might not be as strong as him, not in the strength, i mean your healing could be weaken since you don't have fight for your life." Kagome answered,
"Just great, what am i going to tell Uncle Charlie?" i thought outloud, with a shudder and regreted it as the pain began. A soft whimper escaped my lips as i got up, "What time are you leaving?"
"In a few hours, Alice is getting our stuff from Charlie's house," Kagome answered as she watch me go though my clothes in the closet, "What are you going to do about Sesshomaru,"
"Nothing, I don't care, need, or want him in my life," I answered, Honestly, i didn't know what to do about my sire, he may have created me, but he was never my father. "Are we the only ones in the house?"
"Yeah, for now. Inuyasha is somewhere outside in a tree, and the Cullens went to hunt." Kagome answered, I knew she would keep the Cullen secrett because she kept the whole travel back in time secret, and Uncle yasha, well if he went telling no one would believe him.
"Good because i want to take a shower, but i need help," I stated as my ears lowered to my head, i don't like asking for help,
"I don't mind, I've had bathes with Sango before, nothing i haven't seen or got." Kagome laughed.
"whatever," I rolled my eyes, and got what i needed, having trouble with some, so Kagome helped out.
Going into the bathroom, i noticed the first aide kit on the counter,
"This dagger wound better heal soon or else, i will be in trouble." I stated as Kagome turned the hot and cold water on for me,
"No one to help you, maybe you could ask Embry?" teased Kagome
I could feel the heat in my cheeks, Kagome turned around after helping with the button and zipper on my jeans and I quickly got undressed, and into the tub, I guess I'm taking a bath instead of a shower. Ducking under the water, getting my hair wet. Kagome began to wash my mane of hair, being careful of my ears.
"This is almost like washing a puppy," Kagome stated,
"Only a puppy wouldn't be in a house full of vampires," I replied, "and a puppy wouldn't be able to talk,"
"Don't push it, you're only what in demon years...ninety something?" Kagome asked.
"Ninety-five if you counted in normal dog years." I answered.
After i was finished, Kagome helped me put my pants on, sitting there on the toilet lid waiting for Kagome to get the bandages ready to redress my shoulder, i took the chance to look down at it, it was slowly healing by itself, it was red and slightly swollen,
"No wonder it hurts to move it, the swelling hasn't gone down, maybe when Dr. Cullen gets back, he should look at it again." Kagome stated as she wrapped the wound again.
"yeah, i don't like the look of it," I stated. "still need to think of something to tell Charlie."
"You tripped and landed on something sharp and lucky that Edward knows first aid because his dad is a doctor?" Kagome suggested,
"or i could tell him the truth and possibly give him a heartattack." I replied "But that does sound good." 'Oh, my arm, its nothing wrong just a demon threw a dagger at me because i was born. Not a good way to go,'
"Oh well, maybe Bella or Edward could come up with a excuse." Kagome stated,
"Oh yeah, got to love the public story of Nessie," I laughed.
I got my shirt on, then we left the bathroom. I went into the kitchen to grab something to eat and drink, leftover subway sandwhich, and a glass of milk. As i was eating i couldn't help but remember what the demon toad thing said to me,
"She shouldn't have been born."
is it so wrong for me to have born into the world, or is it because of Sesshomaru, what is his role in the demon world?
"Kagome, What is Sesshomaru's part in Inuyasha's life. Besides hating him." I asked
Kagome blinked then looked at me, "Well he's the Lord of the Western lands, their father, your biological grandfather was a great general,"
also his name means Killing perfection, that doesn't suit well with me,
"Elena, I'm warning you, Sesshomaru will stop at nothing to get what he thinks is his," Kagome's voice held nothing but warning. That made me turn to her,
"Do you really think he's not going to give up?" I asked, feeling a slight chill run up my spine, suddenly feeling my young age, i didn't know about much about fighting, only what the eighth demon taught me about being a demon ninja.
Kagome just shook her head, "the five hundred year old version hasn't stopped trying to kill Inuyasha, and this present version might be a little bit more tactful"
"So no surprise visits of 'fatherly' love?" I asked, yet again. I finished my sandwich, just when Alice came dancing though the door with three suitcases in her arms, wait three?
"Alice, what's with three suitcases?" I muttered.
"Oh the third is for everything I brought for Kagome and Inuyasha," Alice answered,
"My family," i sighed, then rolled my eyes up toward heaven, "Get me strength,"
"Have to deal with us, cousin." Alice teased, "You're stuck with for life,"
Alice tilted her head at me, " your scent, it's not the same, I'll be back. I need space to See."
with that Alice darted out of the room.
"What was that all about?" i wondered, she tries to see around me and Nessie, so that means a wolf is coming but which one?
Few mintues later, I got my answer. Jake and Embry walked though the door,
"Anyone home?" called out Jake.
"Only a Priestess and two half demons." I called back,
Embry walked to the dinning room and stopped cold, his eyes glued to my arm in the sling,
Jake put his hand on Embry's shoulder, "Its alright, better the arm then her life."
"Love you too bro," I responded heavy on the sarcasm,
"Where's the others?" asked Jake after he gave me an apologic look,
"Out hunting, Alice darted out a few seconds ago, needing space to See," I answered. I stood up from the table, picking up my trash and headed the kitchen, Embry following a little slowly,
I thrown away my trash and washed the glass i used and put it,
"How can you wash dishes, when you only have one good arm?" asked Embry, his voice sounded a little sad to me,
"Embry, I'm not a little girl, I can take wounds just as good as the next half demon, at least i didn't have a hand shoved though my gut," I answered
"I don't like you being hurt, its my job to protect you," Embry stated quiltely
i walked up close to each, and lifted my left hand to his cheek, he raised his and held my hand,
"My love; I would have taken the dagger anyway, to advoid everyones' secrets from coming into light, it doens't matter to me if i get hurt before of protecting the ones i love." I replied, "I can heal too, it just takes a while,"
Embry stared in my honey colored eyes, to see the truth. I would always place myself in danger to protect my family.
"You have such a big heart," Jasper whispered as he and the others came back from hunting.
"and I'm really glad i have a scent like the wolves that turn you off from wanting to drink my blood," I teased,
"We have to get Kagome and Inuyasha to the airport." Carlisle suggested, "but before i do, Elena come with me to my office, I need to look at that injury,"
I sighed and turned around to meet Carlisle at the staircase,
"How is your shoulder feeling?" Carlisle asked,
"To be honest, it hurts like hell," I replied, Embry was following behind us, my guess wanting to know what is wrong with my shoulder.
Carlisle held open the door, and i went and sat down on the chair. He carefully with his gentle yet icy fingers took the bandages off my shoulder and folded them up,
"Alice said my scent was different," I muttered as i was trying not to the cringe away from the pain his probing fingers caused.
Embry stared at my half naked shoulder then his eyes flickered to the bloody dagger that was still on a cloth, I followed his eyes, too look at the dagger. It had a strange greenish yellow tinting to it, and i could smell something that stringed my nose, not in the way the sweetness that was Carlisle's scent or the others.
"Something's wrong," Carlisle stated, "but i can't detect it even with my senses."
"I can something coated the dagger," I replied, "it strings my sense of smell."
I sniffed again, this time i could smell the scent of Fox in the house,
"Shippo, get your tail up here," I calmly ordered.
The sound of paws on the stairs and Shippo came though the half open door, "You called,"
"Smell that," i stated,
He sniffed a little and growled, "Posion."
