The Third Family

Author's Note- Heehee. :) Get back material on Mikoto? Don't forget Kyo still has those prayer beads if she needs get back material. Not only will the diary entries be fun toread, they'll be fun to write too! Part of the real diary will be read today:) As of right now there will not be any conspiricies in Misuki's diary. If you have nine lives you must be a cat!
And I do have something to make up for the last chapter being so short! From now on my old habbit is DEAD AND BURRIED! NEW PARAGRAPH FOR NEW SPEAKERS!

Second Author's Note- This is a revised chapter! I got a lot of feedback saying that they really didn't like the name Misuki suggested. It has been changed.


Over the next few weeks I was too busy preparing for my guests to read. That or I was around people while I was relaxing. I had decided to keep the book secret until I had read it all the way through. Then I would give it to Mikoto I didn't find anything that would make him upset in it.
Two weeks before the ball I finally found the time to read the diary. Mikoto was in his office reviewing some reports his father had written. Kallani was taking a walk in the gardens. She had invited me to come along with her, but I had politely declined.
Now I was cuddled up in my library with the diary on my lap. I opened up to the first real entry and began to read:
I found this book yesterday. It was just sitting outside near the waterlily pond. I asked around the servants if any of them had lost a blank book, but none of them had. Oh well. I guess I should explain my ealy life just in case someone does find this diary.
I grinned. It was if Misuki had intended her diary to fall into my hands.
I'm a half cat demon. My father is lord of the Central Lands. The Central Lands are a small kingdom in the middle of Japan. They're no more that a mile by a mile in property. My mother was a traveling priestess. My father found her one day and they fell in love. Too bad my father already had a mate. When I was born my father took me in and gave me a position of a maid when I got old enough to work. I have to admit that I was treated better than most of the other maids. I was fifteen when milord Kotomo came to my father's lands. He had come on buisness and I had been assigned to serve him. Kotomo spent quite a lot of him in his rooms and we got to know each other very well. On the day before he was planning to go, milord surprised me by requesting I return to his lands with him as his mate. Of course I accepted. My father sent us off with his blessings the next day. I think he was happy that I had found a good match. I don't think milord Kotomo's house keeper liked me.
But let's get back to what's happening right as I write this. It's been three years since I came here. I still don't think Kurozena likes me that much, but she's learned to respect me. I think. Kotomo and my son, Mikoto, is two years old now. When he was born we were amazed to see that he was a full demon. We were expecting him to be a half demon. Mikoto looks more like his father. His blond hair is a bit darker than Kotomo's, but they have the same eyes. But Mikoto does have my hanyou ears. They're cute.
I giggled remembering when I had called Mikoto's ears 'cute' to his face. He had disagreed saying that nothing that had to do with him was 'cute'. But now I had a supporter on my side. Mikoto's ears were cute.
That was the end of the first entry. I put the book down, under the blankets I had wrapped myself in. Lucky thing I did that. Almost at that exact moment Kurozena walked into the room. She stopped in the doorway when she saw me. "Lady Kyo!" she exclaimed looking me over, "Why are you in such a position!"
"You mean curled up in my library?" I asked confused.
"Yes!" she replied.
"Because It's comfortable."
"But it is very unsightly!" Kurozena insisted, "This is a public room! Anyone could walk in here and see you in such a casual position! It wouldn't be proper!"
"This is my library." I pointed out, "I can do anything I want."
She glared at me. "If you like to relax in that position then do it in your bedroom." Kurozena told me, "That is your only completely private room."
I rolled my eyes. "So why did you come in here to begin with?" I questioned, "Please don't tell me it was just to tell me off."
"Of course not." she replied, "I came here to retrieve a scroll." With that said, Kurozena walked over to one of the bookshelves and pulled out a scroll. She then walked back out of the room.
I untangled myself from the blankets. Now that I had read an entry I could go find Kallani in the gardens. The idea of a walk appealed to me.
Suddenly I tripped over one of the blankets. In an attempt to keep my balance and not fall I dropped the diary. A small envelope dropped out of the book and onto the floor. As soon as I had my balance back, I leaned over and picked up the letter, a challenge with my swelling belly. Flipping over the enevelpe. I frowned seeing who it was addressed to. Me. I opened it and pulled out a piece of paper.
Dear Kyo,
If you have read my first real entry in the diary you know that my mother was a miko. I, being the daugher of a demon only retained one point of her miko powers. That is the gift of foresight. Every once in a while I have a vision of what is to come. Even though it will be years before you are born, I know that you will be my son's mate. You will be a cat hanyou like me. Coming from the future of the future, your childhood was about as bad as you can get. I'm sorry to hear this. Life in the castle is peaceful, but you still must be careful. Even the best lords have enemies. And on a last note, may I suggest the name Raidon for your first child?
-Misuki
Grinning, I stuck the letter in my pocket along with the diary and went to find Kallani.

Miroku: Why would anyone want to hurt such a beauty as yourself?

Sango: Spare me.

Shippo: And the rest of us.

Clear Waters: R and R everyone!
