Hana hummed as she continued to ride her horse. She had been riding the horse for a few months. Her stomach had expanded a bit,but Hana was able to keep it hidden from the world. Hana hummed as she made it to a small village. She needed food and some new clothes. Hana made a stop at a hut before hopping down from her horse, tying it up. She went over to a seat before sitting down at an unoccupied table. Hana waited to be served as she heard men talking. She heard a stranger say"Did ya hear about Lord Sesshomaru? He's now married to a princess. I heard that she is a beauty!". A few men laughed as one said"That's not all! Did you hear about princess Hana? She was kicked out of royal home.". The first man said shocked "She is? What for?". The second man shrugged his shoulder before he went back to drinking his sake. Hana sighed as she had eavesdropped on them. This was not her fault. Hana continue to eat the food she had ordered. There she sat alone,not noticing she was being watched by a person she didn't know.
-Back at the palace-
Aki was in a room with a smirk on her face. Everything was going according to plan. Since she was now Lady of the West,there was only a few more steps to take. Kill Sesshomaru and his family before having the title handed down to her only. She didn't feel bad about what she did. Aki was just using Hana for her twisted plans. She smirked as she began to drink her cup of tea. It was then a dark headed male came into the room and began to kiss Aki on her neck. Aki giggled as she said seductively" Hello,my love.". The two began their naughty act as a servant overheard them outside the door. The elderly woman soon scurried away as she went to find her lord, InuTaisho.
Alone with his beloved Izayoi, InuTaisho paced every inch of his room. He could not believe that he had hit Hana. Hana was his little girl,by blood or not. Izayoi felt equally guilty. Not only was she unkind to Hana,she also called her a few bad names as well as Inuyasha and Kagome. Izayoi was upset that Hana was nowhere to be found and that she was almost near her due date. Izayoi frowned sadly as she watched her dear mate pace. She knew InuTaisho was guilty of what had happened. InuTaisho sighed and said"We have to find her...". Izayoi nodded her head as she continued to watch him until the elderly woman from before knocked on the door. Inu Taisho looked towards the door and said loudly"Come in.". The old woman opened the door and bowed quickly. InuTaisho said impaitently"Well,what is it?". The woman gulped silently and said"My lord,I'm afraid I bring bad news. Lady Aki has not been faithful to Lord Sesshomaru...I heard from the room were moans and grunts... after I witness an unknown male going into the room.". By the time she was finished,both InuTaisho and Izayoi was shocked. InuTaishi growled loudly and said"Damn! I should have known! Keep this to yourself for now.". The old woman nodded her head before leaving quickly. No one would stand in the man's way when he was pissed. InuTaisho look at Izayoi before running out of the door,leaving his shocked mate in her trance.
~Back To Hana~
Traveling alone,Hana searched for a place to sleep. She was damned if she was gonna sleep in the forest. She would be left unprotected. Hana could not defend herself or her unborn child if danger would come for them. Hana smiled as a small village came into view. She smiled as she made her horse go a bit faster. Aa she had arrives,she saw a big home. Hana soon rode a little towards it before gently knocking om the wall lightly. The door suddenly opened to reveal a man and a young girl. Hana slowly backed away before doing a small cursty. She said gracfully"Hello,good sir...I was hoping to ask if I may spend a few nights here...I'm heavily with child and I hardly have enough food to continue my journey. I have no money,but I will give you my valueable Kimono...it is priceless.". The couple looked at each other with hesitation before they agreed to let the young girl to stay in their home. Hana had thanked them a million time before giving them the kimono she promised. The couple smiled at her before taking her to her room. Hana smiles as she looked around the room. It was nice and big for her ti sleep in. Hana slowly headed over to the bed and fell asleep peacfully,not knowing a female Inu Daiyōkai watching her sleep.
In the next morning,Hana woken up to a sleeping woman in her bed. She did not scream,but looked closer at the woman. She looked exactly like her except that she was a bit older. Hana could tell that this woman was in fact a demonness. Slowly, here began to open. Hana blushed before sliwly backing up. The woman smiled happily as she slowly sat up and hugged Hana. Hana looked at the woman and said with concern"Ma'am,are you okay? Who are you?". The woman hugged her tightly as she said"I'm Saki, Lady of the East. I'm also your mother...". Hana looked at her confused. It was weird how Hana didn't freak out like a normal person would. She looked at her mother and said softly"Tell me what happened?". Saki bit her lips amd said"I can't...just not now. Okay? I'll tell you later..". Hana hummed as she nodded her head. She said quietly"Why am I a human if you're a demonness?". Saki smiled at her and said"It was to disguise you as a child. I'll take the charm off right now if you want.". Hana looked at her before she quickly nodded her head. Saki smiled as she kissed her forehead. Hana blushed lightly as she had let her kiss her forehead with a light peck. In a instant, a white light began to surround Hana before disappearing. Hana hummed before going to the nearby mirror. In the reflection showed a young Inu Daiyōkai with snow white hair and ocean blue eyes. Her ears were now pointed instead of rounded like an human's ear.
Hana smiled happily as she loiked at herself in the mirror. Saki slowly lifted herself from the bed before going towards her small,yet pregnant offspring. She set her hands on Hana's shoulders and said"I have a beautiful girl for a lovely daughter. Now your father is waiting for us. He's excited about you now that you came home to us. Now let's go. You must be starving now that you're eating for two.". Both women soon walked to the dining hall to get to know more about eachother.
