Chapter 4

Authors Note: …+blinks+ nothing to say lol, Enjoy guys, R&R

Kiseki blinked a few times, Kanna stood emotionless in the background, her hair blowing slightly in the breeze, Kiseki was a few feet from the mirror, her hand covered with the defiled blood of the villagers, the chain of the medallion burning with evil energy.

Inuyasha looked at Kiseki his eyes soft, the pain that reflected in them brought tears to his daughter's eyes. "I didn't do it!" Kiseki said looking away from him shutting her eyes trying to get the scene before her to disappear. "Kiseki…" Inuyasha breathed his hair blowing in the cool wind; the whole area was covered in blood, buildings on fire, and the very blood dripping off his daughters hands.

Naraku appeared in the mirror, his voice stronger then before "Give me the medallion Kiseki the stone is yearning for it" Naraku spoke harshly, Kiseki looking at Naraku through the glass mirror. "You did this" She said biting her tongue "You made me dishonorable through Chicue's eyes that is something that will never be forgiven." Kiseki bit back using her clean hand to break the mirror a gust of wind hovering around her as the mirror reformed itself, the pieces of glass sticking out from Kiseki's hand blood running down her knuckles.

Inuyasha looked at his daughter, she was there, what was he waiting for? An explanation? An answer? Or maybe it was just the site of his daughter, the one who grew up without fights, without bloodless battles, and was covered in blood of the slaughter villagers right before his eyes.

"Move away from the mirror Kiseki" Inuyasha managed to choke one hand moving to Tetsusaiga. "It's time my friend" Inuyasha whispered looking down to his sword "To see light." Inuyasha screamed as Tetsusaiga was pulled from its sheath transforming into it's true position the fang of steel.

Kiseki looked at the blade that was from her dad's sheath, she had never seen the blade like this, and she had never seen her father draw it. Kiseki once asked him about it, and her mother pulled it from his side, and when she saw it then it was just a rusted up blade, almost like a piece of scrap metal but now…Now the blade was stronger, wider, cleaner and looked like it would cut through the mirror with ease. Kanna's eyes glistened almost amused picking up the mirror, as Kiseki ran towards her father's side. Naraku's voice laughing, taunting at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha…Would you really strike this girl, Kanna dead? When she has no control over her own doing?

Inuyasha growled slightly, "No control or not, I have no sympathy for whomever hurts my daughter." Kiseki's eyes widening it shock, squinting at him slightly. "Chicue…"

Kanna looked at him, her coal stone eyes reflected certain sadness the flames surrounding them, It was as if time had stopped no one moved, no one said anything, it was as if no one could. Kiseki looked at her father through sad eyes the anger glistening in his eyes his fangs biting into his lip.

Kohaku took a seat at the table, it was the first time he had dined with Sesshomaru, he was always occupied with something in his chamber or not around. Sesshomaru sat at the head of the table with Rin and Kohaku on either side of him.

"Sesshomaru" Kohaku said forcing his voice not to stammer, it was hard he had no doubt in his feelings but the demon lord was capable of draining the poor teenager's confidence. Rin looked at Kohaku somewhat confused looking over towards Kohaku as Sesshomaru merely turned his head towards Kohaku acknowledging the boy's words.

Kohaku shifted slightly as every one's gaze was focused on him, he could hear the servants in the kitchen even stop there rattling to listen.

"I'd like to ask you something…"

"…"

"um…"

"Well? Kohaku, if you have something to ask me you should not hesitate if you doubt what you ask then do not ask at all, be a man Kohaku." Sesshomaru said, Kohaku's head snapping up in disbelief.

'Does he? Does he know what I'm going to ask' Kohaku said looking at Sesshomaru a image of his father fading there the words "chicue" slipped out of his mouth in a slight breath, as if his father was speaking through Sesshomaru. Kohaku shook his head looking at Sesshomaru's firmly.

"I've come to ask…for your daughter's hand." Kohaku said, a slight gasp coming from Rin her eyes shining with tears beneath them as her head snapped towards Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru looked at Kohaku a blank expression on his face, the corners of his mouth lifting up into a small smile. Sesshomaru looked at Rin in all seriousness as the girl's eyes pleaded with him; there was a small look of remorse in Sesshomaru's head as he nodded his head towards the girl. Rin stood quickly as she raced of towards Kohaku, the boy jumping up out of instinct as Rin raced into his arms.

"Kohaku-kun" Rin whispered against his chest tears streaming down her face as Kohaku got down on one knee before her, a light blush on his cheeks.

"Will you marry me?" Kohaku whispered a smile painting across his lips as Rin nodded being swept up into his arms.

"Ashiteru Kohaku-kun" Rin whispered

"Ashiteru Rin-chan" Kohaku whispered a hand running through the girl's hair as he looked up over Rin's head watching Sesshomaru as the demon paused at the door looking over his shoulder at Kohaku.

Sesshomaru nodded over his shoulder at Kohaku, opening the door leaving the two to embrace each other.

Sango held Mikomi and Kei in her eyes as the two pressed their hands against Sango's stomach listening to their siblings little kicks.

Kikyou had spent most of her time inside as if light were her enemy ever since she spoke to Kagome.

'I wonder what happened' Sango thought looking over at Kikyou from the bench outside her hut, Kikyou's dark figure sitting on the bed staring down to the floor. Sango had asked if there was anything she could do but Kikyou had refused and asked her to stay outside for a while.

Sango sighed as she watched Miroku flirt with the village women, "well your father hasn't changed at all" Sango muttered miserably. They had been married for what a year or so? 'And he still manages to flirt with the village women, even though he has a family here. It was true, Miroku was loyal to the family he did his share with them and he didn't feel on any other women but he still flirted vigorously as if he had no family.' The very thought made angry tears come to Sango's eyes as she stood both children still in arms setting them to the ground gently.

"Mikomi, Kei" Sango stated the two looking at their mother confused.

"Why don't you go over to Daddy and introduce yourself to Daddy's new friend?" Sango said softly trying desperately to keep the sadness from her voice.

Mikomi looked at Kei as Kei nodded his head as he watched his sister disappear over to their father.

"Why does Daddy hurt you so much? What did he do now?" Kei said softly pushing his mother gently back to the bench.

A small smile spread across her face as she picked up her 5 year old son. "You know you're an astute little boy, to astute." Sango said as he looked at her smiling back.

"Maybe or maybe I just know my mom"

"Maybe…"

Sango and Kei looked over to where Mikomi stood as they heard her cry slightly, both of them rising to her feet almost instantly. The women who Miroku was talking to must have fled and the look on Miroku's face was almost disgusted.

"Sango we need to have a talk." Miroku muttered grabbing her arm and leading her over to the hut, leaving Mikomi and Kei to stare at them blankly.

"Can't you trust me at all?" Miroku's eyes glistened with anger.

"How can we! And what did you do to my daughter?" Sango shouted looking into his eyes.

"Our daughter!" Miroku boomed back with just as much anger.

Sango glared at him, "Miroku you know like hell how much I love you, and I know you love me too but this is ridiculous! You need stop flirting! You should have heard what Kei just asked me!"

Miroku looked down at the ground his hands clenched almost as if he knew he had been defeated.

Sango sighed, "Just stop Miroku, That's all I ask…" Sango said turning around before looking over her shoulder. "Come on Mirkomi, Kei" The two ran past Miroku looking over their shoulder at him briefly and grabbed Sango's hands. "Were going for a walk" Sango said "Your welcome to come"

Miroku looked down at the dirt, 'Why do I still do it?' Miroku thought to himself when he was doing it he was thinking it was merely out of impulse he supposed. He was perfectly happy with their family and Sango he loved them but why was it?

Miroku shook his head "I think I'll return to the exterminator's village, I must have a word with your father…"

Kikyou listened to them from outside, it seemed like Miroku was living up to his houshi state. Kikyou wasn't quite sure why either, and she wasn't sure if Miroku was either. She sighed looking down a hand on her stomach.

'Could I really?' Kikyou thought thinking of Kiseki and Inuyasha. "If Kiseki dies, I could stop it….but could I really give that up?" Kikyou said rising to a stand grabbing her bow and arrow as she walked out of the hut, squinting as the light hit her eyes.

"I believe it's time I had a talk with my dear friend Kiki…"
