"Tsuki, my dear I take it you have heard?" A deep voice stated taking her by surprise. She turned and looked towards the entrance of the gardens. Standing there she saw the demon that has taken responsibility for her. Touga, the InuTasio of the Western lands adopted her after he and Sesshomaru brought her to the palace.

"InuTasio." She stated as she bowed quickly to him. He came forward and lifted her to her feet. "Tsuki, you are my daughter, you do don't bow to me." InuTasio stated as he sat upon a bench. "Tsuki, Sesshomaru is going to go with me to battle." InuTasio stated as Tsuki's ocean blue eyes stared ahead.

"How could you do it, my Lord?" Tsuki asked her adopted father. She had used his mating with Sesshomaru's mother as a mating of success. In many ways she had based her own mating to theirs. "My mating to InuKimi was arranged, my dear, I care for her, but do not love her. Izayoi I do love."
