Twisted Love

Chapter 46: Rose Petals

"My name is Missaou. I'm Naraku's daughter. My father needed an offspring for his fortune and so he chose a woman how captured his heart in the easiest way. Her name was Rose. When I was younger he told me that she was the most gorgeous woman. He told me she had the most beautiful long light brown hair and big gorgeous violet eyes. He said she was flawless and he took her as his mate. However, once my mother got pregnant she died giving birth to me. In her final moments, she named me Missaou. I always knew my father disliked me. I love red roses and every time I would pick one and give it to him, he would throw it to the side saying he didn't like flowers. But I knew, it was because my mother's name was Rose. He never hugged me or kissed me goodnight. He took me away from everything, locked me up in this castle. As I grew up, I took a liking to the kinds of magic my father started to do."

"Was your mother a priestess?" Kye asked slowly. Missaou shook her head and sighed. She draped another towel over Sakura's forehead.

"No, she wasn't"

"Then why do you have miko powers? Naraku was a hanyou, not a magical being"

"I know," Missaou said. "My father was pulled in to magic and the art of time use. He never came out of his room, he was possessed by the magic. I remember he went to the garden we had and pulled a red rose from there. I followed him in to the house and I was still little. Before he closed the door and sneaked in to his room and hid under the bed. He had a circle with the time symbol on it and the rose in the middle. He chanted something and then I saw her, it was my mother. He was trying to bring her back from the rose petals because that was her name. Rose. I got so happy and I remember I ran from under the bed and stepped in side the circle. My father screamed at me not to and I just wanted to hug mama. She smiled at me. I went right through her though and I remember the rose petals surrounded me instead. I felt them burn me, mark me. Then, before I knew it a golden light went through me and knocked me down. I woke up two weeks later and I realized after some weird things happened that somehow that night gave me powers. I trained myself to use them and for my magic, I use one red rose petal."

"I didn't know you could get magic like that,"

"I wasn't supposed to. It was a mistake. Daddy hated me since then. He locked me up in this room and here is where I trained myself. The youkai that came, I would kill them with my new magic. I would sneak out. Train myself to attack to take care of myself." Missaou sighed. "He threw me aside and then he met Hime. She promised him to bring back mother and he believed her. They devised a plan to kill an enemy she had since a long time ago. In the end, though, Hime killed my father. She told me I couldn't leave and she froze me in time in my room for years. About three months ago, I fell from my place up in the air and I hadn't aged a bit. Hime was furious and she couldn't freeze me again, I defended myself. She placed barriers so I couldn't get out. Time barriers that I can't break."

"Where is my family? They were outside and when I came back, they weren't here"

"They still must be outside. Take Sakura, I'll help you get out of here. I can help you take Hime down. I can't do it by myself, Kye"

Kye nodded and looked at her. She leaned up on her toes, her lips brushing over his lips lightly. Kye closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around her. An invisible force attracted him to her. He broke their kiss and Missaou blushed.

"Let's go," he whispered and placed his sister on his back. Missaou nodded and led the way out of the castle.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

InuYasha attacked the mound of demons headed their way. His mate helped him, purifying most of the demons. Sango and Miroku worked hard, taking down the demons that headed their way. Elizabeth was of help to, protecting herself and killing the demons that the others didn't see coming their way.

A whistle in the distance was heard and the demons dissolved in thin air. Kagome leaned against InuYasha. On top of the castle stood Bryant with Serenity in his arms. She was sleeping peacefully, her head against his heart.

He jumped down and slowly walked towards the others. InuYasha smelled the threat in his scent.

"Let her go," he growled. "What the hell do you think you're doing you bastard?"

"Nothing, my friend. I have my wife in my arms. Is there a threat in that?"

"Fuck you, I smell the threat coming from you" InuYasha narrowed his eyes. He couldn't attack, he would hit Serenity. Elizabeth jumped towards Bryant and he turned to look at her.

Lifting his right foot, a black light erupted and he hit Elizabeth's stomach. He sent her flying and she hit a tree. "You bastard!" Sango yelled. She tried to run towards him, but Miroku held her back.

"Sango, no!" Miroku strained against the slayer. "Lizzie!"

Bryant smiled and he laughed. "We never were really friend with her, you won't miss her"

"You killed her?" Kagome asked with a shocked face. Bryant jerked his head once and smirked.

"One life less, does it matter?"

Hime walked behind hi. With a smile on her face. "Now, c'mon…lets finish this, InuYasha"

Hime readied a red energy ball on the palm of her hands. "You will die today"

Putting her hand back, Hime smirked. She let the ball fly. A crack of yellow light stopped the energy blast. Hime looked to her side to see Kye with Sakura and Missaou standing next to him.

"No, Hime…you die today!" Missaou yelled as she charged for Hime.

"Lousy brat!" Hime yelled.

"Hime…I know InuYasha can beat you! You will die and I will finally be set free!"

A yellow light surrounded Missaou as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'll finally be free!"
