All the forces Sesshomaru has required have now arrived and are ready at his signal, he knows he has to wait for the precise moment to strike after all they will only receive one chance and they still need to find a spell. Haruki has been increasingly uneasy about the fact that all of his father's allies have arrived without any notice to him, he knows that they are mostly likely after him. He has been noticing that everyone all accept for his pregnant mate seem to be looking and treating him oddly, or differently in another word.
For instance what happened last afternoon ….
XX Last Afternoon XX
Haruki was walking in the gardens and he saw many servants and even a few of his friends were whispering in mumbles and hushed tones, so he could not hear what they were talking about. Soon It became clear they were talking about him because a little while after a group or duo would finish their small and quiet conversation they would glance several glances his way.
He soon looked out of the corner of his eye noticing no matter where he was their was at least ten of his father's allies all with walkie talkies Rin and Kagome had brought from many years ago. He was never alone when he went to see his mate they said she was asleep when he insisted they tried to stop him, but it seems they were telling the truth when they claimed she was in bed.
He looked around everywhere he went he knew he was being watched Naraku thought to himself 'Have they finally caught on? If so what will they do? If they kill me Mizuki will be heart broken and most likely lose our child and Rin and Sesshomaru would have lost a son something they can not lose… I will make this into a great advantage….
He was standing in Mizuki's doorway and walked over smiling at her moving her bangs to kiss her forehead he then whispered "No one will take away my family." And with that he stepped onto the balcony to think and strategize.
XX Library XX
Maiko had told Akio of what was going on how she was now in charge of finding a spell to reverse or separate two minds into two beings. Akio hasn't eased up much, but it does seem he is enjoying being away from business meetings and everything about the business world. They walked into the library for the first time and were in awe there had to be at least ten thousand books, scrolls and spells.
Akio looked at her with a slight smile and sighed "Shall I look at the scrolls on the left and you the scrolls on the right?" Maiko nodded and whispered to him what they were looking for and to find it and tear out the page and go with her to Sesshomaru's office.
Maiko went over to a small table with Akio and they each had spell scrolls and books sprawled about looking for answers and even had a few guards around the library disguised as servants in case if or when they find what they need if someone tries to stop them from getting in to their lord.
Akio was looking everything was in alphabetical order 'Separating minds, that's the spell I need … so it starts with an S.' He looked from shelf to shelf from book to book Advancing strength ,Aiding souls into bodies, Against guardians' of the netherworld ,Bengals of constriction , Beckoning Souls, Cleaning souls, Consuming energies, Consuming another's body making it yours, Complex ideals of battle, Death and a new body, Demon glossary, Demon venoms and cures of illnesses …..Raging inner Youkai's, relinquishing ones mateship, Sapphire poison, Separating souls. Got it!'
Maiko goes to him running with a spell in her hands as well 'Undoing of dark spells!' They meet and show each other the spells at the table they read their own spells and then traded and read each others.
Maiko read his spell it was interesting her and him never really read spells or anything, they haven't read spells since they trained to be priests and priestess while they were tens just starting out on their new lives as a married couple.
Separation in mortals and demon…
Two minds, two souls into two beings
Allow one mind stay
Make the other one go away
Each has their own
Each is alone
He reads his ex-wife's spell that she found and after he is done he notices her rereading his spell as if she is practicing for its use, 'She looks so beautiful why did I let her go? Not only have I lost her … but I lost my entire family as well.'
He looked again at the spell of undoing …
A spell was cast it has brought dread
Now I wish that spell had never been read
But now I uncast the spell
By casting a new one
And saving some from this spell
Please save the innocent
Un cast the spell that has only brought forth uncertain hell.
He looked up to see the guards motioning for them to leave through a secret passage, other gaurds were putting up the rest of the scrolls and books so everything looked perfect and like nothing was out of place.
Maiko rushed and grabbed the two spells and was rushed, basically shoved into a gaping and shadowed filled hole in the wall. Soon the door was closed behind them and then there was a small lantern that the guards had prepared for them just in case of this very incident.
XX lIbrary XX
Haruki and Lady Mizuki had come into the library to look at some books and perhaps to listen to some audio books even, the ones her parents and other relatives had brought with them form the modern era from their last trip many years ago. Mizuki and Haruki didn't suspect a thing out of the ordinary they just saw maids cleaning and some guards here and there. The young couple sat down on a pile of comfortable pillows that only the royal family was able to use.
They soon smiled listening to the audio books and feeling their unborn pup kick at the word 'Tokyo' every time it was used. Mizuki smiled and placed her hand on her round belly and then noticed she had placed it on top of Haruki's hand who was their first she simply smiled "You know what Haruki?"
He looked up smiling slightly and had his caramel brown eyes fixing on her sunny gold eyes "What?" They guards were keeping a their distance from the young couple giving them plenty of room in order not to crowd them and make Naraku nervous.
She smiled and kissed his lips and then laid her head on his shoulder as they were resting comfortably on the pile of lightly colored pillows "Ever since you entered my life I noticed I smile and laugh more… you make me happier in many ways for that I thank you."
That struck Naraku right in the heart he felt his heart race that was all he ever wanted in the beginning was this 'Love, happiness, a wife, a woman, and children possibly.' He now had it all and power too, but he can't help but to wonder would he have loved it more if Mizuki would have been Kikyo "Heh, I love you too … My lady." He then motioned for the guards to leave and they did as they were told, he then kissed her lips passionately and then her neck and mate mark and then they lay on the pillows and simply just cuddled to one another in pure bliss.
XX In the walls XX
Maiko and Akio were still in the walls Akio was leading the way with his lit lantern in hand while Maiko was watching out for any bugs or spiders she had to duck here and there for the webs that hung over head. She looked at all the dust it was so dusty and dark she had an itch on her nose that soon turned into a sneeze. Akio looked back at her in surprise and in fear 'What if someone heard?'
Maiko looked terrified and Akio held his hand to her mouth and nose then waited a few seconds before they began walking again it wasn't long before they saw an opening at the end of the dark hall they were so happy and ran all the way their only to find it wasn't an opening exactly it was a mirror. They noticed Souta in a Hot spring and were knocking on the glass as hard as they could to bad its sound proof, Souta had gotten up to get a towel to dry off with after fifteen minutes or so.
As he went to admire himself in the mirror and flex his muscles he thought he had and making charming smiles he looked closer at the mirror to notice it was shaking a little bit, he wrapped the towel around himself and knocked on the mirror only to get a moment of silence and then as he walked back to the hot spring to a small bench to put on his kimono…
There was a sudden crash his parents seemed to have thought they had no choice, but to ram right out of the mirror there was glass everywhere on the floor. Souta Shot up with his pants on one leg he was startled by the crash and slipped and fell. He quickly got his pants on and ran over to his parents who saw him naked, posing, flexing and making weird smiles to himself.
He looked at them lying there on the ground for a few seconds "Mother! Father are you alright your not hurt are you?" They looked at one each other thinking surely they had to have been cut somewhere or even bruised but sure enough they weren't. They smiled and looked at their son who was blushing causing them too to blush thinking what they had all saw "Souta we need to get to Lord Sesshomaru, Now!"
Souta looks stunned about what just happened and 'Now they act like what just happened was no big deal?' "Why?!" They look at him and he knows it's serious, "It's just a few hallways away." Moments later they poked their heads into the secret hallway that was behind the mirror, they then sighed and told him what happened.
XX Sesshomaru's Office XX
They ran through the hallway as quietly as they could and Souta was shocked that in a Sesshomaru's palace, there was danger. His palace had always safe and made him even as a boy feel safe, of course back then he was completely ignorant on how that the feudal era was dangerous. Souta thought to himself while he was growing into a young man he heard his sister talk a little about the disasters and dangers in the feudal era. His sister later didn't speak about anything besides good things, because it worried her mother and grandfather and that made him forget about the dangers until this trip. This trip was different then the first one, this one was danger packed with demons attacking here and there.
Sesshomaru looked up from his desk he was now in there with only Inuyasha and Jaken, him and Inuyasha were speaking about a few plans and strategies. Suddenly Inuyasha jumped up from the papers him and his elder brother were writing their plans and strategies on, Jaken was at the door watching the two and keeping his distance.
Suddenly Souta, Maiko and Akio were knocking on the door just then Sesshomaru nodded for Jaken to open the door. Just as Jaken reached his hand and touched the door BAM! Souta, Akio and Maiko rushed into the room slamming the door open and Jaken to be flattened him making him like a etching in the wall.
Sesshomaru looked up raising a eyebrow slightly as Inuyasha had a curt smile on his face and began laughing, as the shut the door causing Jaken to fall from where he hung seconds ago. They all were in the office now panting and out of breath they were so frightened that Haruki would be the next and last face they saw.
Inuyasha smiled and looked serious again "Now why the rush is the palace on fire?" Maiko had a hardened looked on her face she was so scared her grandson was now enemy number one, and this was not a time to be joking in her book "INUYASHA! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HE IS PROBABLY ON TO US WE ARE RUNNING FOR OUR LIVES TO BRING YOU THIS FUCKING SCROLL AND THIS OTHER FUCKING SPELL SO STOP BEING A STUPID JACKASS DEMON AND SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN! YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY FUCKING WORD WE SAY OR YOUR DUMBASS WILL BE OUTSIDE AND I WILL SICK MY BAD ASS DAUGHTER ON YOU WITH YOU DAMN SIT COMMANDS!"
Everyone in the room stares at the calm mortal house wife and is in shock Akio smiles and laughs to himself thinking 'Wow, I forgot what a spirited mind and mouth she had.' Souta just smiled and gave a thumbs up "Cool mom!" She turns and gives him a death look like if you keep talking you be the next one.
Inuyasha just stood there dumbfounded with Jaken's mouth so open from the shock of her his bottom lip was nearly touching the floor. Akio saw the steam, stress and pressure fuming in his ex-wife's eyes and took the stroll she had from her hand and then gave it to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha then bowed "Here my lords, please forgive her."
Inuyasha looks at his brother who looked over the scrolls and spoke in his normally calm monotone voice "And what do you think we would do? Punish her?"
Akio looked surprised as he got up from the floor "W-well yes, my lords she spoke so disrespectfully in your presence and to lord Inuyasha himself." Inuyasha laughs while looking up from the scroll he was reading "Akio you might think us demons are terrible and savage beings?" He then huffed seeing the man's face in utter shock from being dead on, Inuyasha continued "Akio, we would not harm our pack don't get me wrong we are terrible and sometimes savage to enemies."
Sesshomaru then looked up as the conversation grew, Akio looked at both of the white hair demon males with demonic markings on their faces, honey gold eyes and one wearing white with red flowers on the shoulder and sleeves while the younger one wore red fire rat outfit with sliver armor on both shoulders like his father. Inuyasha had grown tired of his black and grey kimono and is wearing the one he wore when he was so stupid and made so many memories in, and it was precious since it was passed down to him by his mother who got it from his father.
Akio looked very confused and ashamed for feeling the way he did about the Inu Youkai's he thought to himself 'They are demons, but time and time again they have saved and protected us' He sighed "I'm not a demon so I'm not part of your pack."
Sesshomaru smiled slightly and shook his head slightly just then Rin walked in she heard everything and decided to speak "My, my I can't believe how ignorant mortals really are. You are part of our pack weather you like it or not and weather you acknowledge it or denied it. You are related by blood you are Kagome's father and so you are also my father since I calm her as my sister."
Sesshomaru smiles as she sits on his desk reading the scrolls "Yes, you are under our protection we will treat you just like our father… but I'm not sure Kagome will forgive you really easily."
Just then Kagome and Hoshi came through the door they were looking at everyone inside wondering why everyone was there in the first place and then looked at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru looked at his daughter while his sister in law was standing by her mate.
Hoshi looked at her mother and father with both a worried and happy face "Mizuki has gone into labor." Rin looked concerned at everyone else and then looked at her daughter "Is Haruki there?"
Hoshi glanced at her mother and then at her feet and nodded "Yes, I fear for Mizuki … Mother what are we going to do?" Rin inhaled a lot of hair and then looked at Sesshomaru looking fearful "Sesshomaru?" He sighed and looked at his daughter, Maiko looks at Souta and whispers "I think they forgot about us." Sesshomaru continued to look at his daughter "Where is your brothers and cousins?"
Kimi runs in and hugs her father without any word "Uncle Sesshomaru I'm here, Daddy what's going to happen?"
Inuyasha looked at his daughter and him and his mate hugged her trying to stop her she was shaking she loved her cousin like a sister and was afraid for her now; she was so vulnerable and was going to have a child.
Kimi spoke to her uncle and aunt "Um they are waiting outside the door of the hospital wing waiting to be let in." Inuyasha looked at his brother "Sesshomaru I say we have the girls memorize the scrolls and send a picture and message of it to their mates so they may memorize it. Then we go there and have them all chant the spells so they can exorcise Naraku from him."
Sesshomaru thinks about it and later nods "Alright… lets the girls memorize it and the mortals as well…" Akio looks at them like the are fucking nuts "What?!N-No we can't!" Kagome huffs and glares at them "We you better buck the fuck up and shut up, because I don't care if you do or don't want to I know you don't care for any of us demons, but then think about this you owe me this! For leaving us if you do this then you can disown me and we will never speak again if you want I can even rewrite your memory so you think you were never here and that me, mother and souta were all killed in an aciedent or something. I want you to do this for me this is my family and they have to be safe!" She turns her back to him "Don't worry its just something you could never come you understand you heartless and worthless waste of breath."
Souta shifts over to his mother's ear and smiles he secretly hasn't forgiven his father in the slightest bit either "Damn." His mother then pinches his ear "Don't talk that way." He glares at her "Why you do." She smiles and looks at him "Just not to me okay?"
Sesshomaru sighs Alright let's get Haruki in the open of the courtyard and we will have all our allies help, pups I want you to go tell them to assemble and hid and put some special demon powder Sango and Miroku have to dull his senses. If anything happens I want them to back you up, but try to not fatally harm him okay."
Minutes later it was only Sesshomaru ,Inu No Taisho Inuyasha in the room with Jaken Watching them "My lords…?" They all looked up as the small nymph wanted their attention, he continued "Are you sure this will work?" Sesshomaru looked down and in a silent voice almost to hard for them demons with acute hearing to hear "Lets pray."
Inu No Taisho patted his boys on the back and was trying to comfort them, he thought to himself 'They might be men, warriors, lords, mates, fathers, and soon grandfathers, but they are still just like the frighten pups they were centuries ago… they just can hide it better now.'
