I hope you like this chapter. It's mostly a flashback of Izayoi. Just so you know, in case you don't, Izayoi is Inu-Yasha's mother. I had to change some things in this chapter because I ran into problems with the next chapter.

Chapter 5: Izayoi's Secret

"What do you want Sesshomaru?" Inu-Yasha asked as he walked into his brother's castle.

"Hello, Inu-Yasha." Sesshomaru turned to his brother.

"Cut the crap. What do you want?"

"Your mother had left something for you. I did not know about it until just a few days ago." Sesshomaru began to tell him the story.

Flashback

"Mother?" Izayoi called out to her mother, but there was no answer. "Where has everyone gone to?" she wondered. Just then she heard a loud noise from outside her home. "Mother?" Izayoi screamed. She ran out of her home and saw a huge demon devouring her mother. "Mother!" Izayoi screamed for her mother's life, but it was too late. Her scream attracted the demon and it began to run at her. "Ahhh!" Izayoi screamed. She thought she was going to die, until she felt someone pick her up. When she opened her eyes she saw a wolf demon carrying her. "Who are you? Release me." she asked him as he carried her threw a forest.

"Would you rather I leave you here?" he asked.

"No." Izayoi answered.

When they finally stopped, and he sat her down, Izayoi looked at him again. This time she could see his dark brown hair, and green eyes. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I am the son of the wolf demon tribe. My name is Aki." he told her.

"Aki, why did you save me?" she asked him.

"Would you rather I have left you behind?"

"No. My family is dead. I saw that demon devourer my mother." Izayoi turned away from him as she began to cry.

"Please do not cry. You can come with me. I will keep you safe." Aki told her.

"Where?"

"To the north, where the wolf demon tribe lives. My father is the leader of the wolf demon tribe." he told her.

"Will it be alright if I come with you?" she asked.

"It will be alright if I say it is alright."

Aki took Izayoi back to his home, but his father hated her from the beginning. He thought her kind untrustworthy and could unable to care for his son.

Over the next few months, Izayoi grew to love Aki, and soon they became mates. Nine months later Izayoi gave birth to a girl, Megami. She had dark hair, and blue eyes. She looked like a regular demon, but did not have the strength of a demon. Only a few weeks past before Aki was killed in a battle. Izayoi was beside herself with grief. "Has she eaten?" the wolf demon tribe leader asked a young healer.

"No, my lord. She still has not eaten. The loss of your son has effected us all, Izayoi most of all." she answered.

"What of the child?"

"Megami is becoming weaker. If she stays near her mother then she will surly die." the healer told him.

"I will not give up my granddaughter, and Izayoi does not seem to want her. Therefore Izayoi must leave." the lord demanded. "I will send three servants with her and she will be sent back to where she came from." he ordered.

"We will go with her, my lord." one servant volunteered.

"Thank you. You will leave tonight." he said.

That night, three servants left with Izayoi. She didn't fight them, or refuse to go without Megami. She loved her daughter, but she knew that Megami belonged with her kind, so she left her. Three years later Izayoi met Inu-Yasha's father, and after a few months, Inu-Yasha was born. Izayoi, regretting leaving Megami behind, kept Inu-Yasha by her side at all times. She never spoke of Aki or Megami to anyone the rest of her life. Before she died, she left a message for Inu-Yasha. He was to get the message after he had his own child.

End of Flashback

"I did not find the message until just a few days ago. I thought that you should know, so I sent for you and your mate." Sesshomaru told Inu-Yasha as he handed him the message. Inu-Yasha opened the fragile paper, it read as followed:

Inu-Yasha, my son. I never told your father about this but, you

have a sister. She might still be alive, so I wish for you to find

her. I know that this must be hard for you, but you have to find

your sister. It is my last wish that my two children are reunited.

Please forgive me for not telling you sooner. Please find your

sister. I will always love you, my son.

Inu-Yasha couldn't let go of the paper. He regretted that his sister was dead now. Half demons don't live as long as a full blooded demon, so she was probably dead. "Oh, Inu-Yasha." Kagome placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Kagome." Inu-Yasha placed his hand over hers.

"Maybe we should look for Megami and see if she had any children. She might still be alive, or might have children that are alive." Kagome told him.

"Megami is still alive. Her grandfather had a necklace created that allows her to live as long as a full blooded demon would." Sesshomaru told him.

"So she's alive?" Inu-Yasha was so happy to hear that.
