DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here!
I noticed from the latest batch of reviews, that you the readers are concerned about InuYasha and Kagome, but mostly Kagome!
Here is one of the reviews:
"I hate having the hero narrowly escape death at the villain's hands only to disappear for a while, while he grows stronger, it means the bad guy is pretty much free to do what he wants with the heroine."
Well, Godai won't do anything to Kagome, until she is his wife. Meaning he'll marry her before he will does ANYTHING to her! But he has a special day that he marries the girls that he takes! And that doesn't happen for another two days! So she is safe, for now!
Also the character Midori, is based on my best friend, Megan; also know as the fanfiction writer; AngelMidori.
In this chapter, you'll find out what has happened to InuYasha, and most importantly, who the woman that rescued him is!
Here is Chapter 16!
Please Enjoy!

Ch. 16
Himiko's Secret and InuYasha's
Unexpected Surprise
----------------------------
InuYasha awakes to find himself laying on his belly, his back sore and the sunlight glaring in his left eye, while his right eye was bandaged up, "Where am I?", he whispers.
"You're in the hall of the high elders, InuYasha", the woman says, entering the room.
"Himiko? Is that you?", he asks.
"Yep, I guess you don't recognize me with the wings", she replies, stretching her black wings, "Now lets remove this bandage. You might not see clearly with that eye for a while", she unwraps the bandage off his head, her hand accidentally brushes his ear, he winces.
"So how long was I out for?", he asks, trying to rub the fuzziness in his eye out with his hand.
(A/N: Yes, I said hand.)
"About a day", Himiko replies.
"Lady Himiko, the high elders requests to see you and your guest in the main hall", an angel with white wings says.
"Thank you, Mika", Himiko says, "Lets head there, InuYasha".
He stands up slowly, "Himiko, explain to me why I'm normal again", he says, following her.
"Anyone under a spell or curse who enters the gates of the hall, the spell or curse is voided until they leave the gates", she explains.
"Oh, so me and Kagome could have simply talked to each other if we made it here", InuYasha says, eyes down-casted, "Wait a minute, where is Kagome?"
"Unfortunately still in Godai's clutches and under his control", she sadly replies, "We're here".
"Himiko, from your report, you have reason to believe that Godai has cast the Inu curse on a son of Lord InuTaisho, is that true?", an elderly man with white wings asks.
"That is correct highest elder", Himiko answers.
"We have heard news that Godai is marrying a girl, and had killed the so called son. You know we can't do a thing if the son is dead", another elder says.
"High elders, the rumor about the girl is true, but the one about the son is a lie, for that son is standing in front of you", she replies, pointing to InuYasha.
The elders peer at InuYasha long and hard.
"It's the truth she speaks, this boy is the son of Lord InuTaisho, his demon aura is the same as the Lord's", one of the elders say.
"We were afraid you were going to deceive and betray us like your twin brother Godai did", another elder says.
(A/N: There is Himiko's secret!)
Before Himiko could blink, she finds herself dangling off the ground by InuYasha's hand.
"I knew I didn't like your scent, now I know why!", he hissed.
"InuYasha, don't judge me on what Godai has done to you. I'm a completely different person than him", she gasps.
"The two of you share the same blood", he growls.
"Does that make me guilty of something I was never involved with; the curse cast on you. Does that make me guilty because I'm his twin sister?", she asks, fear filling her green eyes.
"You are related to him by blood, which makes you my enemy", InuYasha snarls, tightening his grip on her neck.
"If that makes me guilty, then you must be guilty of the deaths of the humans Sesshomaru has killed, even thou you were never there", she chokes out, "Because you are his younger brother".
That seemed to strike something in InuYasha, as if he was doing exactly as the villagers thought he would do to them.
"InuYasha, stop it", a woman's voice says from behind him.
'That voice…I know it!', he thinks his ears twitching at the sound of the woman's voice, 'It can't be her', his heartbeats speed up.
"Put Himiko down, InuYasha", the woman's voice says.
'It has to be her', he decides, releasing his hold on Himiko's throat and turns around to find a young woman standing there wearing a long pink kimono, her hair was mid-night black and trailed down to her shins and she had violet eyes, 'It is her!'.
"I see you arrived, Lady Izayoi", Himiko coughs.
"Mother?", InuYasha whispers, wide eyed.
(A/N: There is InuYasha's surprise!)
