Togona: fist of all I wanted to thank all of my faithful reviewers. Now onward to the story, I'm not going to bother with the disclaimer because you already know that none of our pathetic souls own Inuyasha.

"Alakade!"

"What?! That son of a bitch is here?!"

"I wouldn't mistake his sent anywhere"

Togona got up and ran towards the scent, faster and faster, Inuyasha could hardly keep up. She came towards a clearing by the river. There a man was knelt down drinking. "Alakade" bellowed Togona.

"Mistress Togona! It's been five hundred years since I last saw you"

"Why would I want to see a pathetic, back stabbing demon like you? You betrayed me Alakade, you should die for that!"

"I would never!" exclaimed Alakade as he bowed down.

"You were feeding information to Lord Sesshoumaru, does that name ring a bell?" replied Togona. She was very angry, Inuyasha could feel her power rising. Alakade's face turned pale.

"I do not know who you speak of."

"You told Lord Sesshoumaru that we were arranged to be married! Only you would know that information, you at father's right hand. You went off and informed Lord Sesshoumaru that he was to marry me so he would come and claim me, knowing I would want it!"

"No, no, I would not do that to my mistress, honest. I wanted to show devotion to the family"

"Liar, you hated the family. The only one you ever took to was me!"

"Then why would I betray you"

"In spite of the family"

Alakade stood silent for a moment, then responded "mistress you must hear me, I would never betray you"

"Then why did you flee" said Togona, a little more calm.

Alakade was silent for another moment but then started to explain "I thought Lord Sesshoumaru would be a suitable mate for you, he was well respected assassin and you too. You both did your job well. So when you came of age I went off to find Lord Sesshoumaru and inform him that he should go claim his bride. Although I see this half breed already mated you, by the mark on you neck. Lord Sesshoumaru and you would have made a great couple. He loved you very much but instead you chose this half breed."

"Well, I'll have you know that it wouldn't have mattered, I wasn't allowed to love"

Alakade chuckled "oh but Lord Sesshoumaru had ties with your boss, why do you think that you weren't allowed to love. It was so you would have to stumble across him and fall in love with Lord Sesshoumaru, I guess that plan didn't work out. You are just like your father"

"Don't you dare talk about father!"

"Humph, he may have been a great assassin too, but he couldn't escape me"

"What?!"

"Yes my dear Mistress, it was me who murdered your father. He was getting in my way"

"Alakade! It was you who made me think my father betrayed me when it was you all along, for that you must die"

Togona summoned a katana, and charged toward Alakade. He jumped back. "Wrong move!" yelled Togona as she turned around and stabbed Alakade in the back.

Leaving him to bleed to death, Togona and Inuyasha set out for Kaede's hut. When they arrived at the hut they confronted Kaede and told her about Kagome. Kaede nodded for a bit and looked at Togona, "I'm sorry about this."

"It is alright, I don't blame ye, it was your job" answered Kaede, "What puzzles me, Inuyasha, ye were there when Togona killed Kagome, why didn't ye do anything?"

"I was put under a calming spell" explained Inuyasha.

"I was wondering, the prayer beads on Inuyasha's neck, where did you get them?" asked Togana.

"Why from whom else, the village of Zakio, he gave them to me personally"

"Then Inuyasha, would you like to be free?"

"Would I?!"

Togana went over to him and lifted the beads over his head. Inuyasha stared at her with his jaw dropped "ho-how did you do that?"

"I created these beads, I gave them to Zakio after I left the village, Kaede must have gone to get them from him" explained Togona.

"So it was you who created the hell I've been through with these stupid beads" said Inuyasha smugly.

"I can put them back on you and give you more hell than kagome could ever even imagine" replied Togona with a raised eyebrow.

Inuyasha shook his head wildly. "That's what I thought" smirked Togona.

"Inuyasha, I need to ask ye, did ye ever really love kagome?" asked Kaede.

"Now that I thing about it, I never really did. I mean we would always argue and I could never express the way I felt. I wouldn't want that in a woman for a mate. With Togona I can freely express how I feel, I can hold her and kiss her with out caring what anyone thought" explained Inuyasha.

"I see, were ye like that with kikyo?"

"Yeah, a little"

"I think the reason ye thought that ye was in love with Kagome was because she was the reincarnation of my sister. But the two were different; ye felt a need to love her because of that. But now that Togona came around and didn't have anything to do with kikyo, ye finally saw it. The rest on how ye fell in love is a mystery to me"

"We can answer that, but we aren't" cut in Togona.

"Now who hired ye Togona?"

"I don't know my bosses name, he never tells me, he just calls me and I do what he says. I have a feeling that people go to him and he comes to me"

"What are ye going to do about Inuyasha? Doesn't your boss want him dead?"

"Well I'm going to go find him and kill him"

"I will go with you. You helped me, now I'm going to help you..." said Inuyasha.

Togona: I know it was a little short and I apologize for not updating sooner. I will get the next one up and rolling, review please.
