Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter 6

Yoshimi finished her meal in silence only glancing up to see Riku smiling at her. How mother? Yoshimi stood after the meal was finished and followed her mother to her room.

"What is it Yosh-chan I'm very tired?" Kagome said.

"Momma who is my true father?" Yoshimi had to put it bluntly or else her mother would fall asleep.

Kagome got very tense and began to wring her hands, " What do you mean sweetie…Inuyasha is your father."

"Mother I am of age now and will soon be queen of these fair lands. Now tell me the truth or I will have you dealt with!" Yoshimi had much hostility in her voice. This was no idol threat.

"You already know don't you?" Kagome saw it in her daughter's eyes. "You've known since you were a child…that's why you were always on guard around Inuyasha. You have more demon instinct than your sister." Kagome began to cry those same tears she had the day she woke up with Sesshomaru. "I'm sorry... so sorry. Please daughter forgive me!"

Yoshimi didn't know how to react. She had come her prepared for a war against lies, and how gently her mother had spilled them into her lap. She rose against her will and on weak knees. Sesshomaru wasn't lying, I am his daughter and so is Ayumi. "Please mother, rest, I'm sorry for this but I have to tell Ayumi." Yoshimi proceeded to leave the room, but her mind was heavy.

"Do you hate me Yoshimi?" Kagome's eyes begged for an answer. Yoshimi gauntly shook her head and left a very relieved Kagome alone.

Yoshimi knew exactly where she'd find Ayumi. In the gardens following her beloved Kohaku around, doting on his every need. Just like some pathetic mortal it disgusts me. "Ayumi can I have a word?"

Ayumi glanced up from where she was picking flowers…for Kohaku. "Yes what is it?" Ayumi flashed Yoshimi her child-like eyes.

"Come sit…" Yoshimi offered a seat. "How are you today dear sister?" Yoshimi asked but wasn't really interested in the answer.

"Very good and daddy will be home in a few days… its going to be so much fun. I'd rather spend time with him than yucky-icky Sesshomaru any day." Ayumi smiled.

Just then it broke Yoshimi's heart to see how her sister despised Sesshomaru and he was her father. Yoshimi got up to leave, this was her twin, her other half, it would crush Ayumi to know her "daddy" wasn't her real father. She left Ayumi dazed and confused as to way she had come at all.

Riku was in the hall just as Yoshimi was returning from the garden. "Hello your majesty. How are you?" Riku smiled his father's smile that had won Sango over. Yoshimi walked past him and gently ran her hand across his face. She didn't have to even speak a word, and Riku fell to his knees. She continued on not wanting conversation, but Riku trailed behind her. He began to talk but she didn't hear a word of it. Suddenly she was just overcome by passion. She pushed Riku into the nearest room and locked the door. He didn't know how to react, so he just went with the flow.

She kissed him hard and they both fell to the floor. "Oh, Yoshimi I love you so much, but I'm just not ready" Riku blurted out. Damn these mortals and their blasted ceremonies of "love". Yoshimi got up and walked out of the room and slammed the door so hardthe windows shook.

A confused mortal boy lay on the floor of this room. Who's room was this? He began to look around and stopped when he came over pictured of Ayumi and Yoshimi when they were born. Then there where pictures of the twins and Sesshomaru…wait its only Sesshomaru in these pictures. Where's Inuyasha? This mere mortal began to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Sesshomaru-sama is their father? Riku went to find Yoshimi, and to tell her the truth about her past.

Okay, Yay done with this chapter. Riku thinks he's going off to be some hero to a secret already revealed.
