Disclaimer I don't own Inuyasha…. Oh how I dream that I did!

Chapter 5

Sesshomaru walked monotonously around his castle in deep thought. It has been 15 years since he found out he had children. Many times he had tried to admit to the girl's that he was their father. Also Inuyasha was almost never home because of the tension between Sesshomaru and himself.

Yoshimi looked so much like Sesshomaru that people often thought she was his sister. (The world has yet to find out that Inuyasha isn't the father.) Yoshimi had her mother's beautiful wide brown eyes, and figure, whilst she possessed Sesshomaru's firm cheekbones and fair skin. Her lightly silvered hair went just below her waist. She had the cutest little silver dog-ears, but the sharpest of claws. Her demon appearance often frightened people, with a crescent moon in the middle of her forehead. (Inuyasha just thought of it as a family trait he hadn't inherited.) Yoshimi's attitude was also more like Sesshomaru – laid back until it was time to fight. She was also a great fighter with many powers.

Ayumi was more like her mother. She looked more human, unlike Yoshimi. Ayumi was like a mini clone of Kagome. She also had her mother's dark mysterious brown eyes, which seemed to brighten whenever she was around Kohaku –Sango and Miroku's oldest son. Her face was more rounded and soft like Kagome's, and her hair was pitch black, with tiny brown ears on top of her head. Yes, she had her mother's figure, along with Kagome's temperament that often got her into trouble. Ayumi didn't have any claws or fangs like her sister, so she had to rely on her miko powers to keep herself protected. She more than preferred the company of mortals, unlike her sister who can't even tolerate herself on occasion.

Miroku and Sango had aged nicely seeing as they didn't have to work as hard as they had figured. Both of their son's look more than just like Miroku, Kohaku practically was him. Although Riku, at the tender age of sixteen, behaved just like his mother. Miroku wouldn't stop at just two sons though, and Sango is yet again pregnant. So far only Kohaku has begun to develop a wind tunnel and it's scaring the hell out of him.

Kagome and Inuyasha aged gracefully, looking just as they had when they first met each other, but more mature features to go along with them. Kagome now wore her hair longer than she ever had before, and she was beginning to look even more like Kikyo than before. (If that is possible.) Inuyasha with his years of demon fighting still looked as young as ever before. Sesshomaru didn't look any older than before, if he didn't look younger from having all that youth around.

Sesshomaru spent a lot of time with Yoshimi training her in martial arts, and teaching her the politics of the land. Also when Kagome wasn't around he indulged her by taking her shopping, or buying her a gift. Sesshomaru was a lot wearier of becoming attached to Ayumi, who looked so – so human.

Inuyasha along with Miroku spent much time away from the castle still keeping the ever-lasting search for Naraku alive. Kagome was always busying herself somewhere away from Sesshomaru, often going to the present and could never figure out why her daughter Yoshimi still preferred to stay with him.

Sesshomaru walked from Kagome's study in a daze. Why won't she allow me to tell just one of them? Sesshomaru began to feel the heat of the tears that were welling in his eyes. All I've ever done is been good to my daughter's and their mother and her friends…when is it my turn to be rewarded. That blasted Inuyasha gets all the credit for my beautiful children. Why can't I…

"Why are you crying uncle?" Yoshimi had come across this scene, with a bawling Sesshy.

I don't care what Kagome will say I will let at least one of them know the truth. "Yoshimi… can I talk to you for a minute?" Sesshomaru reached to embrace Yoshimi, who was still confused. He took her to the library and locked the doors, and took a deep breath, and before Yoshimi could say anything he began. "Alright I don't really know how to start, okay…" As Sesshomaru told a listening Yoshimi the entire story, she began to understand why she felt such hatred for the man that was supposedly her father for fifteen years. It was because Sesshomaru hated Inuyasha that she did as well, deep down inside. "So, I'm your father." Sesshomaru ended the climatic story.

Yoshimi reached to embrace the man that had really always been her father anyways. "I'm so glad you told me, but why didn't you sooner?" Yoshimi asked trying to catch her breath.

"I never thought I could without the only person in the world who loved me hating me. Ever since my beloved Rin died I've always felt alone, but with you… I felt loved –needed." Sesshomaru finished his small frightening answer. Rin passed away 4 years before when she tried to give birth to her first child, her whole little family died- her son, her husband in war, and herself.

At dinner that night Yoshimi couldn't even look her mother in the eyes without anger welling up. She sat across from Riku, who glanced up occasionally just smile at Yoshimi and to receive a small smile back. Yoshimi still realized that her sister was completely and utterly clueless when it came to their father. The seating was just as it always was Kagome at the hostess end of the table and Sesshomaru at the host end. Sango and Kohaku sat across from one another. Kohaku was seated and next to him was Riku. On the other side of the table next to Sango was Ayumi, and closet to Sesshomaru was Yoshimi. Dinner was always the boisterous affair, or at least it was on the mortal end as Sesshomaru called it.

Yoshimi savored the food placed before her. After dinner I will finally confront my mother about my father, and if what Sesshomaru has told me is true then I am the actual true heir to the thrown of the Western lands. I will know the whole truth, even if it kills my mother…

Okay I have the whole story set out in my head… it will just take a while to sort through my ideas. I swear I'm not trying to make Kagome look like a whore, this is my story and I say she can be overcome by a spell. I also don't want Inuyasha in here until the next couple of chapters when everyone but him knows about Sesshomaru. And I'm really sorry if I offend anyone in any way. Give me a break I'm just an amateur writer. Lol. Gosh I love you reviewers, even if you don't love me back. Okay can I please have 5 reviews on this?

Remember 5 reviews!

P.S. I wanted to make Sesshomaru a softer person than he really is.
