There was only one thing Sesshoumaru hated more then suitors for his
daughter and that was getting wet. However, this was his only daughter out
in the rain completely vulnerable. He would never forgive himself if
something happened to her. He had always expected Inutaisho to be the wild
one, especially since he had spent much of his childhood with his wild
cousins. He couldn't understand, well Inuyasha he could, but Kagome he
just couldn't understand how she could deal with having not one but three
wild children. Although over time Kaze had settled down but the other two
had not. But he did have to admit that Kioshi was a skilled healer.
He soon stumbled upon Sakura sitting wrapped in the roots of the tree youkai that guarded the yard. She looked up and even through the rain he could smell her tears. Kneeling down in front of her he took her chin in his hands.
"What's wrong my flower?" He asked as softly as he could over the pounding of the rain. For a long time she didn't answer. When she finally did her answer made no sense.
"I'm never free."
He just gathered her up holding her close to his body hoping to keep her at least warm. He knew that her frail human body could easily get sick. Sakura wrapped her warms around him burying her face against his neck.
"There is nothing to worry about, my flower." He didn't know what else to say and for him it was uncommon. He noticed how her body became limp in his arms. He could feel her spirit dim even as he walked.
"I'm dying." She said almost too softly for him to hear. Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks.
"What do you mean?" He asked, real worry seeping into his voice.
"No one wants me, otoosan. They just want rank or power, not me. I feel like I'm locked up. Why can't I go with Inutaisho and help in the south?" She shivered, looking over her father's shoulder and back toward the forest.
"I know you can handle yourself, but if anything were to happen to Inutaisho, the gods forbid it, you will be the only one left to take over the western lands. Granted one of your cousins could take over but I want one of MY children to." He took a deep breath. There was something more on her mind, but what he could only guess.
"Otoosan?"
"Yes, my child."
"It's her isn't it?"
"It's who?" He asked confused entering through the back doors and started taking her to her room.
"Stop." She said as she passed Mizuko's room. He gently let her down and watched as she walked to stand in the open doorway.
Mizuko was sitting on the futon talking softly with Rin, Inutaisho, and Kagome who were all sitting on pillows around her. Zane was sitting at the end of the futon and Kioshi was no were in sight. Mizuko was the first to notice the soaking girl at the door. Zane was the next to notice her and the way her clothes clung to her. Rin turned to see her wet now human daughter. Getting up she went to her. Mizuko studied the young lady of the western lands. Hanyou, she noted mentally. However, what really caught her attention was the look in the young woman's eye. It was a wild look that shone with the need to fight.
Take me with you. Please! Mizuko's eyes widened as she heard the young woman's voice in her mind. Let me fight with you against Banito, against your father. The wild look burned brighter but it seemed as if only Mizuko noticed it.
And your family? She thought hoping that Sakura would somehow be able to hear it.
I do not care if I am disowned. Please let me fight for you. The voice in Mizuko's head now sounded desperate. Rin was currently trying to get her daughter from the room to change her.
Your brother says you fight well and Zane has backed that up. If you do not want your family to know I suggest you leave soon and meet me in Juniko's village. I will mark you with my special ink then.
Thank you. With that Sakura let her mother pull her out of the room.
Rin then lead Sakura out of the room and off to change. Taking one look at her mate Rin ordered him up to their chambers and to change before coming back down to speak with the rebel leader.
"Who was that?" Mizuko asked nodding her head toward the door. The woman gave off a similar aura as Inutaisho. It was he that she felt like she knew. His smell was familiar to her, his eyes seemed to glow with promise every time he looked at her.
"That is Sakura, my niece. You'll have to forgive her appearance tonight, it's her change night." Kagome said watching the two guests. Now Mizuko had a name for her new ally. One that appeared to be strong and willing to fight, however, she did not want to risk the girl's life for her own ends. Looking over at Zane she saw the look in his face before he attempted to cover it up again. He was attracted to Sakura. Her decision was made. The girl could fight with them, but Zane was going to be her partner, her protector.
When Sesshoumaru returned they began the meeting. Rin and Kagome had the job of keeping an eye on the depressed Sakura.
"So he has finally made his move after all these years then?" Sesshoumaru asked, although it sounded more like a statement.
"My group of rebels and myself have been able to hold him off for a while, but lately he had been slipping through. One of my spies has reported back that the southern lord is preparing a major attack against your lands Sesshoumaru-sama. The southern lord is very anger at you. He believes you are a traitor to your kind."
"He is the oldest remaining lord. The others have realized that the humans are now a part of our lands and that their population will just continue to grow. However, I do not think any of the lord were too happy with my mate until they met her." He sighed rubbing his eyes with one hand.
"Still it will not be an easy fight. The southern lord has many loyal men that are currently fighting for him and he is a phoenix and they can only be killed by another of their kind." Inutaisho stated looking directly at Mizuko. She just nodded and silence feel over them for a few minutes.
"It will take more then just your army Sesshoumaru-sama." Zane said speaking for the first time that morning.
"I am hoping that the invasion of my lands will 'inspire' the other lords. I am holding a meeting in twelve days. We will come to a decision then."
"The southern lord has brought in specialized troops from an island nation not from his coasts. They will be very dangerous."
Sesshoumaru swung his head in Zane's direction. He had no real like for the youkai mostly because he seemed to have an interest in his daughter. "Specialized in what?"
"A lot. Mostly it's telepathic and they have a weapon that if fired could wipe out all of your men."
"I think our first duty is to find out what this weapon is and how to disarm it." At this point Mizuko sighed tiredly. "We will do all we can to make your fight easier against the southern troops."
"I have a suggestion." Zane said looking to Mizuko who nodded for him to continue. "There is an island tribe that will help fight because the southern lord has repeatedly tried to invade their islands and has killed many of their people. I could go with a few other people and talk with them."
"At least take Kaze with you." Kioshi said from the door. Everyone looked up at his sudden appearance. At Zane's look of confusion he explained. "Kaze is a rather good negotiator. Even if you do all the actually work she will be good to have there. She quick with both sword and words."
"He is right. She would be a valuable addition to the mission." Inutaisho muttered and Sesshoumaru nodded. Zane glanced over at Mizuko to see what she would say.
"This is not my mission. The decision is up to you." She said with a knowing grin.
"I will take her and Kito." Zane answered carefully.
"Although I do have one request."
"What is that, Mizuko-sama?"
"You take my liaison with you." All the men in the room gave her a questioning look. Grinning she said, "You'll meet her when we get back to Juniko's village." Zane so surprised could do nothing but nod his head in agreement.
"Very well, and I will do my best to convince the other lords, however, now that we are in contact with the rebel army and know their intentions I know that they will be more willing to help." Sesshoumaru stood then. "I will leave the rest up to Inutaisho. I suspect that you will be leaving once you are well enough?"
"We do need to be getting back but I doubt anyone here will let me leave until I am fully well again." Mizuko grinned her eyes sliding over to Inutaisho. She suddenly remembered a long forgotten memory about a little boy just a year older then herself cuddling up with her and keeping her warm while her mother talked with the most beautiful women she had ever seen, that is other then her own mother. It wasn't till some years later that her mother explained what happened.
"My father really is a bastard and I will kill him even if it cost me my life. I hope that you can at least forgive my mother for not being able to help." She said quietly just as Sesshoumaru was shutting the door.
"Just bring me his head when you are done." A small grin lifted the side of his lips. "Besides it seems as if you have already been accepted into this family and if I did anything to say against that my mate would make me sleep in the study." Leaving the four younger youkai surprised, confused and speechless.
"Sad thing is, my mother would really make him sleep in the study and my father hates to sleep away from her." Inutaisho stated shaking his head. After plans were made to get Zane and his party through the southern lands and out to sea he left saying he needed to send a message to make sure that Kito was at the village and waiting for him. Kioshi followed him out saying that his mother most likely wanted to get home now that Mizuko was well enough that she was no longer need, and to ask Kaze if she wanted to go on the mission. He could already see his father's face when he formally asked his sister. The thought of disturbing his father like that brought a grin to his face.
Mizuko turned to Inutaisho intent on talking to him about what they were going to do while waiting for the lords answer. She had a sneaky feeling that they would want to meet with her but she didn't know if she could bare to be away from her troops again. Who knows what they were going through at that moment. However, Inutaisho's words stopped her thoughts on that.
"You remembered then don't you?" He asked moving to sit closer to the faintly blushing woman. Mizuko hated feeling like she did at that moment. Almost like she was a little girl again.
"Hai, I do." She whispered. She watched as Inutaisho bit his lower lip almost like he was deciding something. Inutaisho was not an impulsive person however, he had missed her soothing smell since he had last held her and that was so long ago. So long that it was more like a forgotten memory of someone else and not himself. Leaning forward he planted his hands on the bed on either side of her hips and leaned in close to her. Taking a deep breath he pulled in her scent, closing his eyes.
Now Mizuko was blushing. She had never hand anyone this close to her without them being dead in the next moment. She could easily feel the heat radiating off his body. Her body stiffened when she felt his tongue slide up the side of her neck sending shivers up her spine and causing a delicious heat to spread through her lower abdomen. He suddenly pulled back remember his place however, before he could get to far he was pulled back against a warm and soft body. With the force of being pulled forward and the surprise he lost his balance and landed on top of a very curvy form.
He heard a gasp from under him and slowly looked down at the woman below him. Her face was flushed and her eyes half closed. He wanted nothing more then to ravish her right then and there but he knew he couldn't. Inutaisho was so lost in thought that he missed her warping her arms around him to hold him to her body until he tried to remove himself from her. He was practically thrown back down into her his face landing on her chest. It was Inutaisho's turn to blush now, but he couldn't ignore the softness pressed against his check. Slowly he looked up at her to find her smiling. Smiling back he turned his head and nuzzled the closest breast and pressed his ear to her chest listening to her racing heart.
"I missed you." He whispered as if he was referring to an old lover. True it had been years since he had seen her and he was still so young when they had first met but he would, could never forget her scent.
"My mother was right." Her reply was just as soft as if she didn't want to disturb him. "If my father was a smart man he could have used me to get to the western lands. She once told me later that you and I would make great mates. That she thought that we were meant to be together just from that one meeting, but my father was so stubborn that he would never let me mate a hanyou." She looked down at the top of his white head. "Even if you could pass for a full youkai."
"Does it bother you that I'm not?"
Her eyes widened as she suddenly felt his hands on her hips rubbing light circles on her skin. "No, do you change like your sister?"
He nuzzled her mound again before answering. "Yes, but mine is at the crescent turn of the moon's cycle."
"Then I can't wait to see you then." The grin was evident enough in her voice that he didn't have to look up at her to see it.
"Would you eventually want to become my mate?" He asked looking up into her suddenly darkening face. He began to panic but before he could say anything she interrupted him.
"It would have to wait." She threaded her fingers into his hair. "I want to get to know you more and then there's this war." She paused waiting for his eyes to droop. "I would not want to go into battle with a newly formed bond, it might distract us both. Besides I would not want to mate and then die to leave my koibito in pain."
Inutaisho's brow furrowed at that. "I would not let anything happen to you." He then decided that she no longer wanted to talk about that subject seeing she needed time to get used to him again, or for the first time, he was not really to sure on that account. "Sakura spoke to you didn't she?" He once against tried to move but found her hands were firmly planted in his hair. Content to just lay there he laid back against her again. However, he couldn't ignore the way her body felt against his and what it was doing to certain parts of his own body.
"How did you know that?" She asked knowing that lying to him would be useless.
"Your eyes were glazed. That will usually happen to people she talks to. She has found a way to mask when she is doing it herself, but you can always tell who she's talking to." He grinned against her, moving a bit to press more of his face into her breast, and also to hide his current rising need.
"Oh." Was all she said although it came out slightly strained do to his light nibbles.
"What did she want?" He asked knowing very well what he was doing to her as she scent spiked.
"I cannot tell you, but." it was here she couldn't help but moan as his hand cupped her burning center, "you'll find out soon enough."
Inutaisho just nodded at her words. He couldn't help himself he was loosing his calm and it was all because of her. He had only known her a short time but already he wanted her. Not just her body but her all of her. He snaked his hand into her sleeping robe pressing two of his fingers into her slick folds. He pressed them against her sensitive nub making her moan softly just as his aunt opened the door her words dying on her lips at the sight before her.
Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had never seen her nephew act inappropriately before even when he was alone. Yet here he was laying over a flushed Mizuko in what appeared to be an intimate fashion. However, even as he moved away from her Kagome could tell that it was very reluctant. So she tried again.
"I just came to check on Mizuko-san before I left."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Okay so this chapter wasn't very good but I had to have someway of splitting my story. Wait I'm saying to much aren't I? Anyway, I hope to have the next chapter up soon and enjoy.
He soon stumbled upon Sakura sitting wrapped in the roots of the tree youkai that guarded the yard. She looked up and even through the rain he could smell her tears. Kneeling down in front of her he took her chin in his hands.

"Otoosan?"
"Yes, my child."
"It's her isn't it?"
"It's who?" He asked confused entering through the back doors and started taking her to her room.
"Stop." She said as she passed Mizuko's room. He gently let her down and watched as she walked to stand in the open doorway.
