Simple Lies

Chapter Three: Today Began the Lies

Servants scurried along the corridors of the castle, to their appointed destinations or tasks, as Sango walked along side the queen. Every so often a servant would stop to either bow or curtsy to lady Saiako and offer her some type of greeting, which se replied to happily as well as questioning their well-being. Sango smiled to herself, the lady Saiako was a kind queen, so very much unlike any other she has ever come across in her travels with Kagome and Miroku, she observed.

Saiako stopped in front of floral patterned shoji screen and pushed it aside motioning for Sango to step inside. Complying with her wish she entered, the queen followed suit shutting the screen behind her, and then motioned for her to take a seat on a cushion around a small table. Sango let her eyes travel the length of the room, in one corner was a futon and in another was a small dresser and next to that a dressing screen. On the same wall as the futon beside the end of the bed was a wardrobe, other than the table they sat at nothing else adorned the room. Sango found her eyes traveling back to the smiling queen.

"Before I came here Inutashio had his castle decorated in a more western style after traveling out that way, and then when I came along… well I got kind of home sick so he had half of his castle redecorated to a more Japanese style." She smiled at the memory; her mate could be very sweet and thoughtful when he wanted to be.

Sango smiled too. "That was nice of him." She was going to like living here for the time being, she had really missed her home and the queen reminded her somewhat of her own mother, strange as it sounded. "What did you want to know about Kagome?" She inquired after a moment.

Saiako rested her elbows over the table, clasping her hands together; she rested her chin against them. She looked so unlike a queen at the moment, Sango had the strange urge to laugh, but fought it. "I just would like to know what type of person she is, she seemed very nice." Saiako answered casually.

Sango gave her a suspicious glare, but covered it up quickly. Why would she want to know about Kagome so badly, she wondered curiously to herself, I will have to watch what I say least I draw more attention to that fact that Kagome and Kikyou are twins, and I know that is why she is so curious. Sango had seen the way the castle watched Kagome, it was as if they were watching for her to take a knife out on them whilst their backs were turned. If they thought so badly of Kikyou, why was she allowed in the castle? Sighing Sango decided to think about it latter and answer the queen's question, as best as she could without giving so much away. "Well Kagome is way to innocent for her own good." She scoffed, but a genuine smile took up residence on her face when she thought about it. "She would readily trust anyone, not matter what they were like. She believes there is good in everyone even if they don't show it, and she believes that she can save anyone, even though it looks hopeless." Sango closed her eyes as she thought about it some more.

"Kagome would befriend anyone, and would protect them with her life." Sango snorted, and the queen watched her questionably. "Actually, you needn't be her friend for her to do that, she would protect any innocent life with her own, even of one who betrayed her." She announced softly, and then wondered if she should have even said it. The queen may want to know if she has ever been betrayed, and then Sango would have to lie to her, which she did not want to do. It would be like lying to her own mother. "Kagome smiles a lot, even when she is sad. She doesn't like to let others know it, she feels it is selfish for her self to be sad when so many others have had much worse problems then her own, all though sometimes I just wish she would be selfish sometimes, it's not healthy to keep her emotions inside." She shook her head, why was she telling her all of this? It wasn't any of her business, and besides Kagome is probably going to be so upset with her for it. "All though Miroku always seems to get it out of her, he's good at getting people to talk to him about thinks like that, probably has something to do with him being a monk." She muttered the last part under her breath, and then clapped her hands together. "Well that is Kagome, so why do you wish to know, if I may ask?"

Saiako moved her hands to her lap, and sat little straighter then before, a warm smile planted on her face. "She sounds like a nice person, I would do well to get to know her better." The queen watched Sango a moment, before sighing, now whether it was out of sadness or not, Sango couldn't tell. It wasn't long before the lady Saiako began to speak once again. "She looks so much like the lady Kikyou that my son thinks he is in love with, but she is not. How you speak of her, the look in her eyes, they were warm unlike Kikyou's…" She paused a moment, before a mischievous smile played across her lips. "I think this Kagome maybe be what my son needs." Saiako suddenly announced. "He doesn't love Kikyou, he is only with her because she has him convinced that she doesn't care about him being a hanyou, but if she didn't care then why will she only meet him in private, why won't she let it be known that she love him in return. I have asked her once and she denied it, saying they were only good friends." She shook her head sadly. "I would like it if you helped me get those two together, you don't have to, but it would work a lot better then me doing it alone seeing as you know Kagome the best?" Saiako fell silent watching the girl before her intently, quietly hoping for her to except.

"I don't know…" Sango trailed of nervously. If she agreed to this she might be deathly mad, and might not forgive her, Kagome has stressed it that she did not want to pursue a relationship with anyone while her sister was in need of her. The thought made her angry, what right did Kikyou have to keep her from possibly finding someone she might really love? No right at all, besides, maybe this son of hers might be able to keep Kagome's mind off the betrayal of her sister. "Alright," she sighed in defeat. "But we must get Miroku to help, he is like her brother, as I'm like her sister, he wouldn't be too happy if I did this behind his back."

The lady Saiako clapped her hands happily, and nodded to her request, before a frown took up residence. "How does Kagome feel about hanyous?" She questioned curiously and albeit nervously. She had every right to be, here she may have found the perfect mate for her son and the girl may be like every other female when it comes to hanyous. Saiako watched Sango intently, preparing herself for the worst.

Sango smiled to herself slightly. "Kagome has nothing against hanyous, if anything she has a soft spot for them." She replied.

Saiako had to force herself to hold in a sigh of relief; this matchmaking might actually work out. Smiling at her newfound thought, she went on to question her feelings, just to be sure. "How do you know?"

She smiled warmly as she recalled there time in Izumo, but then it became more forced as she remembered what happened there. "I know because when we were traveling we happened upon this village and there was this little boy there, crying because no one wanted to play with him, so Kagome told him she would. She soon found out why no one wanted to play with him, and explained to him that it didn't matter what he was, because no matter what he would always be just him. The child ended up traveling with us until we happened upon another hanyou and his mother, it turns out that the villagers were going to kick him out because they thought he was eaten the other villagers." Sango snorted it that. "Of course they only blamed him because of what he was and not who he was and Kagome would not stand for it. She refused to leave there until we proved him innocent, so Kagome stayed at their hut to make sure the villagers didn't attack while Miroku and I searched for proof of his innocence. It seemed as though Miroku and I should have stayed near the hut as the culprit came and tried to eat the humans that had gathered around their hut to burn it down, we got there a little late, but from what Kagome said she tried to stop the demon on her own, but got knocked down by one of its tentacles. Because she had treated him like a normal person and not some dirty half-bread he saved her life. The villagers had witnessed his display of power and were of course frightened out of there wits thinking that he was going to kill them all for blaming him, imagine there surprise when he only hand them some herbs to help heal there wounds. After that the whole village learned to respect him, and so Kagome left the child in their care hopping that he would live a better life there with them then on the road with her." Sango finished taking in a deep breath.

Saiako listened to the tale intently, and the more she heard about this woman, the more she liked her. This Kagome seemed to be one of a kind. No one would have ever bother themselves with trying to help a hanyou, and if they ever did never would they go to the extent she went to. She let a smile creep upon her face, and clasped her hands together. "This is perfect, I am going to find my husband, go and in form this Miroku of our plans and then I will find you latter and we will devise a plan." With that said Saiako stood from her seat and left the room, leaving Sango to get used to her new living quarters.

~*~

Kagome watched the youkai before her, waiting him to say something more then 'feh', but it seemed like he slipped off into deep thought. Taking in a deep breath and releasing it, Kagome walked forward and waved her arms before his face. "Hey, lord Inuyasha, are you still in there?" She questioned.

Inuyasha blinked himself away from his thoughts, to find himself staring into two soft chocolate brown eyes. Trying to suppress a blush at their closeness, Inuyasha crossed his arms and turned his head from her. "Feh, what do you think?" He questioned harshly. "Why do you go to your own rooms and leave me in peace." He growled.

Kagome smile suddenly turned into a scowl at his attitude, place her hand on her hips she returned his glare with one of her own. "Well I hate to inform you of this, put it seems your father has made us room mates, now unless you can convince him otherwise, your just going to have to make the best of it." She growled out in turn.

Inuyasha was taken aback, never before has he heard a human growl before and he would have been laughing if not for what she had said. "He did what!" He shouted, reaching for her arm he began to drag her from his room.

He only managed to reach the door before she yanked her arm back, taking a few steps from his form watching his hands warily. "Where do you think you are taking me?" She demanded. "If you want me to fallow you somewhere, say come with me to wherever it is, and then I will fallow without you having to nearly rip my arm off!" She screamed causing Inuyasha to flatten his ears to the top of his head, it was then that she noticed his doggy ears. Taking a few steps close, her eyes intent on them, she had to resist the urge to reach out and touch them. They looked pretty soft to the touch; no she mustn't think about them, she needed to stay mad at him. The stupid lord thinks he can treat her however he wishes just because she is his personal maid!

Inuyasha began to shrink away from her as she took a few steps towards him, a strange look on her face. Her eyes were concentrated on his head, what was she staring at? "What is it?" He barked to hide his nervousness.

"You have puppy ears." She observed. "So that makes you a hanyou, I should have assumed such sense the queen is human." She answered said to herself softly. No wonder he such a crab, why he held a mask over his face to hide his true self. He's just like that little boy back in Izumo, or that other hanyou back at the herbal farm. Even though he may not have been physically beaten because of him being the prince, there were still the whispers and the stares, and the fact that no one wanted to play with him as a child; it was the same with every hanyou.

Inuyasha's stare hardened. "So what." He growled defensively. "Who cares if I am a hanyou or not, what does it matter to you?" She was like all the others; she would probably demand to be removed as his personal maid now. Kikyou was right about her, maybe it is possible for her to want to kill her own sister. Why was she looking at him like that?

His train of thought trailed of when she smiled warmly at him, her chocolate eyes understanding. "Nothings wrong with you being a hanyou, actually, now that I think about it you remind me of a little boy I know." Shaking her head from thoughts of the little hanyou boy she left back at the herbal farm, Kagome walked out of Inuyasha's bedroom door. "Come on, obviously you wanted to drag me off somewhere, all though I would appreciate it if you explained to me where it was we're going." She looked at him expectantly.

Inuyasha just stared at her for a little while, that was it, she find out he is a hanyou and she doesn't glare at him or demands to be sent away, she just smiles and willing comes with him. This girl was strange, maybe something wasn't right in her head. "Were going to my father's study to get this straightened out." He explained, a little less harsher then before.

Kagome nodded and fallowed him down the corridors, ignoring the stares of the servants as they went.

~*~

Inutashio spread out another map over his desk, while Sesshoumaru studied the other one along with two of there best generals, Kouga and Ginta. His eyes traced over the lands of Izumo, as that was where Naraku is planning to attack from, or at lest that is what his spies say. According to them, Naraku is gathering up an army there in his recently new acquired kingdom and plans to attack from the borders of Izumo and the Western lands, and then the borders of his original lands the are shared with Inutashio's and the Northern lands of Tama. As his eyes took in the land, and the geography of the place, he found the borders of his lands and Izumo to be very mountainous, and then the border that he shared with Tama and Hiyayaka to be very flat and mostly made up of meadows and marshes.

As of now their reasons for war are merely a retaliation, as Naraku had already cleared their defenses so easily and took out a few of there villages and picked off a lot of men in there armies. The strange thing was they seemed to know what they were doing; it like they knew the exact moves the men of the Western lands would take in order to remove them from their lands. Naraku seemed to know their defenses, and their fighting styles as well as the exact areas that their armies were located at the time of attack. How Naraku knew what to do is a mystery to every villager, solder and noble as no one from this land has been found out to be a spy, well except for one raven hared woman with cold dark eyes that has some how seemed to have dug her claws into his youngest son.

Sighing Inutashio turned his attention back to what was being said around the room.

"I say we lead an assault directly into Naraku's territory and end the matter once and for all. We all know that this won't be only the first attack, more will come, we must act before the Hiyayaka can bring more harm." Kouga announced gruffly, slamming his fist onto the maps causing the stone markers to move about a bit.

"How do we even know it is them, not one guard or warrior saw the attacker's face, we can't even be sure if they were sent by the Hiyayaka. The whole land has been in a state of unrest. Ronin warriors are sweeping through the land, reports of murders and theft are running rampant, and no warrior who call themselves honorable would dare attack the Western lands in such a manner, nor could I believe that the Hiyayaka could be so underhanded." Ginta stated almost hesitantly. "At lest I hope not, if so then we are dealing with a mad man."

Inutashio shook his head gently. The manner in which the villages had been attacked were horrible, not one man woman, or child was spared, and the way that they were murdered… he did not want to dwell on the detail as they made, even his stomach quiver with sickness. It was true that no one saw exactly who the culprits were, but he knew enough to know what it was Naraku; there was no getting around it.

"Ronins, ronins could never orchestrate a carefully planned attack. How could they get through our defenses, how could they get close enough to cause such chaos?" Kouga argued, shooting Ginta a glare for daring to mock his carefuly thought out defenses for the kingdom. "How can it not be the Hiyayaka, no master less warrior, even an army of them, could know the rounds of the night guard, the weak points in the battlement wall, whoever was behind this attack is far more organized than some insignificant band of thugs." Kouga nodded his head as if agreeing to what he was saying. "It is what we have suspected all along, Naraku is living up to his name, the new lord of Hiyayaka arrogance to so great, he thinks now to strike even in the heart of the strongest province on the Western region, Southern devil."

"There are rumors that he dines openly with Hakujou, the blue skinned demon leader of the most dangerous band of ninja in Japan; the man even killed his own master."

"We should go to our allies, something must be done, like the knew lord of Tama." Ginta suggested.

"How, we have no direct proof, not that anyone can make the boy see reason, he cares nothing more for his position than a ronin cares to have a master. Not that it would do us good to try, the boy is taken Naraku into his court like a blood brother, even if we could make a case for help, our enemy holds the strings of power." Kouga shot down his idea with an air of superiority.

"There are still the Eastern Kingdoms? In times of strife, it is the wisest plan to find friends, do you not agree, Lord Inutashio?" Ginta finally asked, and all eyes turned to the single, imposing figure seated in the stately wooden chair at the head of his desk, his presence made only more majestic by the black and gold silk tapestry of a dog demon rising from the ashes of destruction. To the eyes of a visitor, or one not well accustomed to this scene, the tall man with the unusually long silver hair and a piercing golden gaze radiated power and authority, and could bring even the mightiest of men to his knees in fear. It was not with fear though this day that the two generals looked over at their king, but more with worry, if something was not done soon they may be taken over by an enemy that seems to know more about them then they themselves do.

"I think, Ginta -san, that you suffer from a shortness of memory, it was only ten years ago that we attacked our neighbors over possession of the lands near the border and ownership of the sacred springs. Hostilities have not rested, even to this day, and unless the Hiyayaka lord attacked with the army of akki, they would not raise their hand to aid us." The deep voice was calm, smooth and steady; it would never waver, the army of akki an army to rival all the lands of Japan, and can only be raised from the dead by one with extreme power. "And I doubt Naraku has the power to raise such an army to do his needs, therefore I doubt we can expect there help." He explained.

"My Lord, no matter what, we must think of a strategy soon, it will be but a few hours before the warriors from every town and village in the kingdom will be arriving to find out what has happen, and take up arms to fight back. Can we even say for certain who our enemy is?" Ginta inquired. "Sense no one has seen face, and we have only rumors to go one from spies and travelers, that say he has taken Izumo I' m much of the same manner."

"It is Naraku, I don't believe any of us could think any different; the new lord makes no secret of his association with the kingdom that shares our borders, or with the less affluent members of society. Even a blind man could see the pale creature's ambition, it has taken him to the throne of Hiyayaka ahead of his older brother; he is a man to be feared, as are all those with the blood of their father's on their hands." The calm, haunting voice spoke out, and every head turned in sync toward the entrance were the King's second son stood, with a young woman behind him.

"Inuyasha, has the patrol completed their rounds, I had hoped that we may have an exact damage report from the night before." Inutashio met his son's gaze and never flinched, at the anger that shown in them. Anyone would have ran, their tail between their legs, having been meet with such a gaze, but he was the father and the King, he could show now fear toward his son.

"All but one father, Jun'jou finished with the southern part of the city and the surrounding wood, but Seishinseii has not completed his rounds of the North, I would imagine he will be nearing the sacred spring in a half an hour." Inuyasha stated calmly. "Now that, that's out of the way father…" He grounded out. "Why is it that I have a personal maid, and why is it that she is staying in my own living quarters?" He demanded.

Inutashio was about to answer, but was caught off by a voice besides him. "Little brother, you know as well as I that all but two of the living quarters are available." He berated with his usual scowl, except his eyes shown with unshed laughter. "If three come looking for jobs in the castle, and there are only two room…" Sesshoumaru trailed off raising a brow. "You do the math."

"But… but, she can't stay with me, where will she sleep, there's only one bed and I refuse to share it with her!" Inuyasha whined, crossing his arms over his chest glaring at his brother and father.

"Calm down Inuyasha, we'll have one of the servants place another futon in there until we can get another room ready for her, does that sound better to you." Inutashio offered, and sighed at Inuyasha scowl. There was just no pleasing the boy. "It's either that, or you two share a bed." He pointed out to the hotheaded son of his.

"Feh."

Kagome had long ago stopped listening to Inuyasha's complaints; instead her eyes gazed over the maps her eyes taking in the areas the stone markers rested on. They had walked in on part of the conversation, so she did not hear it all, but what she could gather is that Naraku has not thought of any new ways to take over a land. As she stared that maps, her eyes glazed over in saddens, how could her sister do this, help that madman come on to this land that's not even his and destroy villages and children. Whipping the look of sadness from her face, Kagome tired to ignore the fact the Inuyasha's brother Sesshoumaru was starring at her with a suspicious glare. He probably thinks she is a spy. Paying no mind of the look she received from the other two in the room, Kagome looked Sesshoumaru in the eyes, without flinching once. She had seen worse things then this inu-youkai's calculating gaze, although it still sent a few shivers down her spine.

His eye looked in on her in amusement, his face remaining a scowl. "Naraku did this, didn't he?" She questioned as she pointed to the three black, stone markers that marked decimated villages. Sesshoumaru merely nodded his head, still watching her suspiciously. Her sister did this, and in a way it was partly her own fault, if she could only stop Naraku. Looking the maps over once more, she began to move the markers around, ignoring the fact that the room had become oddly quite and now all eyes rested on her. She didn't care at this moment; she had to make amends for her sister's crimes, and what better way then to use her knowledge of his fighting style to help out.

Naraku usually invaded the side that would obviously hold the lest amount of solders, so taking the marker for hundred men she moved it from the Izumo and Western land borders to the borders for the eastern kingdoms, making it two hundred instead of one. She knew very well Naraku has made friends with the new lord there, and he would definitely use his borders rather then his own, it would be less predictable that way. Then retching over, Kagome took one of the fifty men markers and place it in a village near the castle. He would pay no mind to the other villages, Naraku would want to get as close to the castle as she possibly could that way he would be able to rub it in, that he was able to get that close and escape without being caught.

Taking a bunch of white markers in hand, they represent fake men, and placed them in all of the villages close to the borders, and then some along the borders except the eastern one. Taking a few moments to examine her work, she took a deep breath and exhaled before bringing her eyes to the king and the rest of the inhabitants.

Inutashio and along with everyone else examined her work, while she was doing it and afterwards. The king locked gazes with the girl a moment before going on to ask, "What is this?" He knew it was a war plan, he wasn't stupid, and he was able to fallow it pretty well, but he still wanted her to explain it to him.

Kagome nodded, and answered hesitantly. She only hoped Miroku and Sango wouldn't be mad at her for this, sighing she went on. "As you said Naraku has made friends with the eastern Kingdoms new lord, so it would only be logical that he would come from their borders rather his own, it comes from his own cowardice. It would only be natural for him to take the less obvious approach and come from someone else's borders, which would naturally be the weakest guarded." Kagome explained. "So to make sure he does just that, make it look like all the other borders are heavily guarded that way he'll cross through the 'less guarded' border. The reason behind the fake men guarding the other villages and real ones guarding the villages closet to the castle are because you want to attract his attentions to these villages that way he'll be so far into the lands the men guarding the borders and the men guarding the villages surrounding the castle will move in trapping Naraku's troops into the center and then take them prisoner after the give up." She announced, her eyes watching the other men in the room closely.

It took awhile for Inutashio to find his voice, where had this girl learned of war tactics from. This plan of hers, it just may work, but how does she so much of Naraku to make such assumptions. "Girl, this… plan… it just might work." With a small chuckle he went on to ask. "Where did you learn war tactics child, and how do you know so much of Naraku?" He asked, trying to mask his suspicious gaze, though she could still see it along with everyone else's.

Forcing herself to smile slightly, Kagome answered. "I'm from Izumo, and my father was a general there, sadly he was killed by Naraku along with my mother and brother." It was a lie, but a necessary lie, if Kikyou found out she was here… she would be killed and any hope of saving her or her mother and brother would leave this world. Naraku in fact killed her father, and Souta, her brother, and mother were taken hostage to be used against her. "I listened to my father speak of him, and from what happened in a Izumo, it wouldn't take a genius to guess he is cowardly." She stated mater of fact.

Inutashio nodded accepting this along with the two generals, only the two brothers looked suspicious. "I am sorry for your loss, and yes you are right."

Kagome smiled, and bowed her head. "Thank you." She wiped the smile from her face, placing on something more serious. "I would like it if you all spoke of this plan to anyone you think would spread it further."

"Why?" One of the general's, he held two piercing blue eyes, hair in a low ponytail dressed in furs, asked.

"You didn't let me finish." She huffed. "I want you to tell them every thing like it is real, make the fake men real and the real men fake, but breath none of the real plan from this room, and I don't care if you trust the person with your life, someone still might here it." She stated firmly, fixing everyone with a demanding glare.

"How do you know someone hasn't already heard?" Inuyasha scoffed, glaring at her. He didn't trust this girl; she was lying about that story of how she came to know war tactics and Naraku. She and Kikyou are twins and Kikyou isn't some general's daughter, she is the deiced King of Senzei's daughter.

Kagome smirked slyly. "I traveled here with a monk didn't I?" She questioned, and was answered with a blank stare from the hanyou. Sighing in annoyance she went on to make it easier for him. "This room is protect by a sound barrier, the monk that I traveled here with taught me how to detect different barriers, so everything that has been said in this room couldn't be heard outside." She explained in easier words.

Inutashio smiled, truly impressed. "Yes you are right, Sesshoumaru and I had a barrier erected to keep the sound out. I'm impressed that your knowledge is so great that you were able to detect this one." He explained. "Yes, I agree that this should stay in here, so say nothing of this plan unless it happens to be the false one." After a nodded from everyone Inutashio dismissed all from his study to go about there business.

~*~

Inuyasha walked down the corridors, the girl, Kagome trailing behind him. He'll admit it, he was somewhat impressed by the display she showed in his father's stud, but he'll not let it show. This girl is still lying, and is still after Kikyou, trying to kill her. Maybe he could just corner her, threaten her life for her to tell, and then lock her up so that Kikyou would be safe. No, he couldn't do that; Kikyou didn't want her sister harmed. Slumping his shoulders in defeat, Inuyasha slid his eyes to the twin. Her arms were crossed and her eyes were concentrated on the floor before her, a sad look crossed her eyes, and then anger before it turned to determination, and then sad again. What was she thinking? Maybe I could get her to tell me, Inuyasha thought, No why would she want to tell me, a hanyou anything, thought being the prince I could demand it of her.

I can't believe it; I just can't… her thoughts trailed off. How could her sister do such a thing as to help kill all those innocent lives? It's Naraku's fault she is the way she is, and that her brother and mother are held captive, and why her father is dead! She will make him pay for it too, and make Kikyou return too normal and save the rest of her family. But Kikyou betrayed me of her own free will, they have shown me that enough times, Kagome thought sadly, though I still refuse to give up on her! She declared firmly.

"What are you thinking about that has you so sad?" He asked, though he didn't care he has to act like he does if he is to make her trust him like Kikyou wants. Yet for some reason a voice in the back of his head is calling him a liar.

Kagome jumped at the sound of his voice, looking into his eyes she knew that the prince wouldn't take, nothing, for an answer. "Talking about the past brought up some unwanted memories." She explained. So this is Kikyou's new puppet, he seems too innocent to be used in such away. He doesn't deserve it, Kagome shook her head sadly, I want to warm him, but I can't, I just can't/…What if Kikyou really does love him, and what if him finding out gets him killed like the other? She just couldn't tell him, especially not without talking with Miroku and Sango about it. "I'd rather not speak about it." With that said she returned to staring at the floor, ignoring his eyes on her.

Inuyasha glared at her for a while before turning his eyes from the girl, she lied again. Maybe it would be easier to force it from her, shaking his head, no, it wouldn't. He had only just met her, but he knew she was not one to be forced into anything she didn't want. It would just be easier just to gain her trust, but he just felt to bad about doing it. Sighing he threw the thoughts from his mind and continued walking back to his quarters.

I love Sesshoumaru, I always try to include him someway in all of my fics, I like his attitude, and besides my sis is in love with him, you should read the review she gave me (not sure which fic its on, her pen is cold heritage I think, and name is Kiyoko) my sis is a weirdo, and you'll understand why if you read the review, any of her reviews to me… I'm not sure, I think I'm going to have Kikyou or maybe Naraku spill it too her, Kind of like how Kikyou did with Naraku, but… I'm not entirely sure yet, what do you think? *nods* I was in a angst mood when I thought of this fic ^_^ I can't wait to see your seventh chapter!!! I knows its going to be good, like all of your chapters are…. Midterms… Whelps I hope you do really good on em!!!! Thanks so much, I 'm glad you think so… *grins* I thought is would be funny to see Sesshoumaru tease his father, since he is always so serious all the time… but anyways Ja Mata!!!! ~Zonza

Storm-Maker: Thanks so much, I tried my best to make it really good!!!

Cooking Spray: Thanks so much, I tried really hard to come up with an Idea that was real original and ended up thinking of this… I know what you mean *shakes head* oh well, what can you do right? But I'm glad I can count on your reviews, It means a lot… Ja Mata!!!

Cold-Heritage/ Kiyoko: Hey sis!!!! Thanks for the very strange and scary, but oddly hilarious review (if any of you gots the time, go and check it out you'll be laughing your pants of, but watch out for Miroku cause he's there too ^_^) Anyways I'm glad you likes it and hope to hear from you again!!! If anyone hasn't already seen it, my sissy here's wrote a new fic called Blind Side, you all should check it out… its pretty good!!!!
