Chapter 8: Confrontation & the New moon part 2

Keiko walked down the miasma filled hallway. She went through a doorway where scraping and clanks of metal were banging against each other. She looked at the young woman before her on the wooden floor near a hot fireplace. Her face was covered in sweat and grime, as was the rest of her body. She smiled at the tired girl. Her plan was going accordingly. After she had gotten Inuyasha and his new mate she will then back stab Naraku for his power.

"Sakura! Are you almost done with those weapons?" she furrowed her eyebrows. The young woman stopped hammering a weapon to look at her mother straight in the eyes. She wiped off her forehead with the back of her hand and sighed.

"Yes mother. I only have a few more left to go and I'll be ready to attack when the sun has fully set in the sky." She bowed to her mother before she began polishing the weapon she had just finished hammering. "Mother, I can not wait to have my father back in our lives."

"In time Sakura, we will have him all to our selves and then no one will be able to come in between us, my child. The only problems in our way now is your father's new mate and Lord Naraku." Keiko turned her body to leave the room.

"Mother, you do know that Yuki is mated to Sesshomaru, right?" She didn't even look up at her mother as she spoke to her. She could just imagine and feel the shock coming from her mother. She could not help but smile at her mother's bewilderment and rage radiating off of her. Finally she knew something that even her mother had not known. Her mother didn't know everything as she led others around her to believe.

"What did you just say? That bastard! He is going to interfere with our plans. What is that man thinking? Sakura, we will have to take Sesshomaru out if he decides to interfere with our plans when they are going on at they're peek." Sakura nodded and it made her mother smirk with annoyance. "Maybe he won't help his little brother and his mate out during this final battle." She let out a deranged laugh as she left the room.

Sakura balled up her fists in frustration to the point where blood was being drawn from puncture wounds created. 'Your wrong Mother. I will stop you no matter what. Father is just an innocent pawn in this game as well as his new mate and his human friends. I only wish Yuki would see the truth of this situation instead of believing in Mother's lies.' Tears started to fall from her eyes as she finished up the rest of her work.

> > > > > > > >

"Master Jaken! Master Jaken! Where is Lord Sesshomaru?" a young human girl asked. She held a bundle of freshly picked flowers she wished to give to Sesshomaru. The green imp holding a staff with human heads at the top looked at her with somewhat disgust at her for the question she had asked that he thought was really stupid and pointless.

"Listen up Rin, he went to attend to some very important business and we are to remain right here at this very spot." He tried to say with great authority even though he was wondering the same thing. Rin sighed before falling on her back in the grass letting the flowers scatter around her.

"I wish he would hurry up and return. I miss him." Rin looked up toward the stars that were beginning to appear in the setting sky. Jaken walked off and he began to gather wood to start a fire to keep his fragile human charge warm for the night. He could just imagine what Lord Sesshomaru would do to him if Rin had gotten sick under his care. He shivered at the gruesome thoughts as they ran through his head.

Ah-Un grazed the grass as he watched the pair sadly wait for Lord Sesshomaru to return. It was as if he had been gone for days and weeks instead of just a few hours.

> > > > > > > > >

"Sesshy, are you really my un-uncle?" she stepped forward as she let go of her father in the process. She heard her father's footsteps retreat from her to go to his mate side that had escaped her guards' grasps. "He said you were his brother."

"Indeed I am your uncle as well as your mate." Sesshomaru still showed no emotion on his face or body posture. The sun was just a sliver in the sky. Inuyasha pushed his mate gently behind him. Sango also had gotten behind both of them to protect their backs from the now furious Gegin and Kai. Shippo jumped into Kagome's arms and had began to shiver with fear under Gegin and Kai's gazes. Miroku and Kirara flanked both sides of Inuyasha to protect and assist him in any way they could.

"SESSHOMARU! Why did you take Yuki as a mate and why did you not tell me she was alive all of this time?" Inuyasha was confused and furious at his older brother. Yuki turned to look at her father as Sesshomaru made eye contact with him. All eyes were on him as the sun disappeared into the darkening night sky. His body then began to emit a soft bluish glow. They all watched astonished as his claws disappeared, his dog-like ears turn into human ears, his eyes turn from a vibrant gold to a rich brown, and then his long silvery hair turn into a raven black color.

Yuki was stunned at her father's transformation from a demon to a human. She blinked trying to make sure she wasn't imagining anything. 'He was telling the truth, but how could this be?' she was tempted to touch her father just to make sure it wasn't just an illusion. Her knees felt weak as they gave out on her. A strong arm wrapped around her waist to keep her from falling hard on to the cold ground.

" Yuki, are you feeling alright?" Sesshomaru asked. His voice had a hint of concern in it. Yuki nodded her head slowly. "Now Inuyasha, I have my reasons for my actions and if we all survive this fight tonight I will shell tell you everything." He looked at the sky that was being covered in dark ominous clouds. The grass began to glow sending an eerie light to surround them.

"What do you mean fight?" Inuyasha eyed him warily. His brother didn't look at him as he straightened Yuki up right on her feet. He then looked back at Inuyasha. He thought for a moment before answering him.

"Your ex-mate wants you back Inuyasha. She wants to kill your new mate and child before this night is over with and I should not forget to tell you now while it is convenient that she has teamed up with that despicable Naraku to achieve her pity goal." The seriousness of his tone made everyone go speechless. The trees began to sway back and forth as several puppets of Naraku appeared around them lining the forest. The saimyosho (a/n: I really hope I spelled that right!) began to fill the sky to prevent Miroku from using his wind tunnel.

A gust of wind over the canopy of the tress brought Kagura and Kohaku on a giant feather to them. Kagura covered half her face with her red and white fan. Kohaku jumped off the feather and raised his weapon. He wore his demon exterminator suit and poison mask. His eyes were dull and lifeless as he stared at the woman whose face he just could not get out of his mind his dear sister Sango.

"Kohaku!" Sango cried as she saw her little brother descend from Kagura's feather. Right now her hatred for Naraku bubbled up inside of her threatening to boil over at any moment.

Miroku's knuckles began to tremble and turn white from all of the pressure he was placing on his staff. This was to be the final battle. Just one mistake and it would mean it's all over for him and everyone that was fighting against Naraku. Shippo buried his face in Kagome's chest hoping it was all a dream and he would wake up soon. Both Inuyasha and Kirara growled threateningly at their enemies before them.

"This is not good, Inuyasha. With you human and Kagome pregnant we are at a serious disadvantage." He looked over his shoulder at his now human friend.

"I know and there is no way we could possibly escape this fight even if we tried." Inuyasha drew his sword and placed it in a defensive stance.

> > > > > > > > >

"Sakura! Let us leave now or they will start the battle without us." Keiko stood in the doorway tapping her foot impatiently. Sakura picked up her weapons and walked toward her very annoyed mother.

"Yes mother, I'm ready to head out to the battle field now." Sakura bowed slightly before walking past her. A slight smile played itself upon her lips. She will not let her mother get away with harming those that are innocent. She only hoped Yuki would learn the truth before she arrived at the battlefield and decide to help her in her cause.

"Let us go now." Keiko placed her hand on Sakura's lower back and led her out.

> > > > > > > >

Kouga looked up at the night sky. Tonight he was feeling restless. He stood up and looked around at his sleeping companions. 'I have an uneasy feeling about this. I feel that Kagome may be in danger. I must find her.' He raced off toward Keade's village.

Only poor Kouga didn't realize he was heading in the wrong direction. The whirlwind he created followed him closely at his heels.

> > > > > > > > >

Naraku smiled evilly as he stared into Kanna's mirror. Yes he was going to enjoy this night. Tonight he will destroy his enemies in one fatal swoop. He stood up and turned his head to look at the silent girl. Kanna of the void, his most loyal incarnation.

"Kanna, let us go the battle field. I wish to be there in person as I destroy them." He walked out the door.

"Yes, Master Naraku." Kanna replied as she obediently followed him.

O0o0o0o0.

And to thank my faithful readers!

Cherimai- I will continue to keep updating. Just keep reading!

SlummyRedDragon- Thank you very much!

kanna14- He hates Keiko even more than humans and half demons. Beside Sesshomaru softened up a bit once he allowed Rin to start to follow him around. Rin changed him and made him kinder. At first he made Yuki has mate as a way to piss Keiko off, but he then fell in love with her once he found out she was pregnant with his child.

InuYashas-writer-and-lover- I'm glad you like it so much. If you keep reviewing I'll keep updating!

La Chica Perfecta- I'm glad you liked it! Keep reviewing!

Well I hope you liked this chapter. I tried to add as much detail as possible. Poor Kouga has no idea that Inuyasha and Kagome are mated. Don't you think this is one crazy family reunion!

In my opinion Naraku is kind of like Inuyasha's son because in a way both he and Kikyo had a major hand in creating him. It was Naraku's love for Kikyo and his jealousy for Kikyo's love for Inuyasha that created him. I could just be making a fool of myself though.

I wish I had time to make the chapter longer, but I know you all have been waiting patiently for this chapter.

Well any whoo, Read and review!

TTFN!
