"Kagome" Aniko called her four-year-old daughter. "Its time for your nap."
" But I'm not tired." She told her mother pouting. Smiling Aniko picked up the child settling her on her hip. "I know but if you want to grow up strong and brave you have to take your naps."
"Will you tell me a story?" Kagome asked as they entered her room.
Settling her on her bed Aniko sat in the rocking chair. "Okay, Are you all set?"
"Yep," the child answered.
"Once apon a time there lived a brave worrier, who was also the Queen of a great Kingdom. Everyday the brave queen would fight to keep her subjects safe from the demons that would hurt them."
"One day the Queen met a King who was just as strong as the warrior Queen. And for a while they would fight together to keep their Kingdoms safe. What the Queen didn't know was that King was afraid to grow old. And one day the King made a wish to never grow older again. When the Queen found out she was very sad, because the Queen knew that it would not make the King happy. The king offered to make the Queen forever young and powerful but the Queen told the King no and left the King to his own kingdom."
"Years later the King went to the Queen and told her that he was sorry for hurting the Queen and he missed her very much. So the Queen agreed to stay with the King again. She hoped to help the King not be so sad. One day the Queen found out that she would have a child of her own. She was scared for the child because the King and Queen had many enemies and she loved the child very much. So one day the Queen left the King and went to her brothers, she left the child with her family. Where the child would always be loved and safe. Leaving the child made the Queen very sad, so she disappeared into the wilderness, never to be heard from again."
"That's sad," the wise four year old said.
"Yes, it is." Aniko agreed. "Go to sleep. I love you."
"Love you to mommy."
Kagome woke early the next morning, the remnants of her dream fresh in her mind. As she lay in her bed she thought of the story that her mother had told her as a child.
'Only she's not my mother' Kagome thought. "My mother is the Queen."
She knew that she would have to go back and face Genkai again. She needed to know where she came from. Who was her birth Father? All the things that she was denied growing up.
After her shower, she dressed for the day, brushing her hair and teeth. She went down for breakfast. Aniko was already up and cooking. "Good Morning" Aniko greeted her cheerfully. Kagome took a moment to look at the woman who had raised her and loved her whole life, before rushing into her arms.
Aniko enveloped her into a hug. "I love you." Kagome whispered into her shoulder.
"I love you to sweetheart." Aniko answered her. Releasing Kagome she asked. "Are you going back?"
"I need to know the whole story." Kagome told her.
"Just remember that every thing that Genkai did was out of love for you, and you will always be my daughter."
"I will momma, I will." She told her.
Yusuke was sitting on the porch steps when Kagome arrived mid-morning. Stopping in front of him she waited to hear what he had to say.
"I don't know who you are, or what you want with Genkai, but she has been like a mother to me…" After pausing for a moment he continued. "If you ever hurt her…"
" I wont." Kagome interrupted him brushing past to the doors. As Genkai let her in she turned back to Yusuke. "Thank You." She said before entering the house.
"What did she thank me for?" Yusuke asked not expecting a reply.
"She is Genkai's daughter." Yusuke raised an eyebrow at his companion. "Genkai doesn't have a daughter."
"Hn, tell them that." He replied before disappearing.
Standing up he wondered what Hiei was doing here. Yusuke took along look at the door where the woman had disappeared. Stretching he put his hands in his pockets, slouching his shoulders he left the temple.
He knew that with Hiei around he wouldn't have to worry about Genkai and the power surge he felt yesterday. Keiko was already going to kill him for not coming home last night. "Damn pregnant woman.' He thought.
Hiei had also felt the surge power yesterday. He knew it had come from the girl and while listening to her and Genkai's conversation he learned of her unique heritage. The girl was powerful, more so than Genkai was at her age, and her power was different from any other spiritual power he had ever felt. It was completely pure and very deadly to his kind. It was the kind of power only talked about in horror stories, the kind of stories that is told to children to scare them into behaving. Stories about humans that could destroy not only your body, but your soul as well. How would an offspring of Genkai's have that kind of power? 'Anyone with that kind of power should be carefully watched.' He thought. Tightening his grip on his sword, he settled into the tree waiting to hear the rest of their conversation.
Thank you for all my reviews!
