"Your mother?" Inuyasha gaped. Sesshomaru slowly nodded.
"She died two years after my birth. Suicide," Sesshomaru stated in a monotone.
"Suicide!" Everyone exclaimed. Sesshomaru nodded. Then he glared at Naraku.
"What purpose was this!" Sesshomaru demanded. Naraku chuckled.
"Must I explain this to you?" Naraku laughed before walking to Casa's limp body and grasping her chin. "Casa was the reincarnation of your mother. It's why she looked so much like your mother. That's how she looked familiar to you. So, I kept myself hidden, dead-like, while searching for your mother's grave. She was hard to find..."
"YOU ROBBED HER GRAVE?" Sesshomaru yelled. Naraku smiled.
"No, just took her body. Had to sew her head back on, though. Hehe..." Naraku laughed causing Sesshomaru eyes to burn red. No one laughed with Naraku. "So, we brought Casa and you here to witness Casa's change, if you can say."
"Bring Casa's soul back," Sesshomaru demanded, his voice coarse and very angry. Naraku tsked.
"Now, now. We can't even do that, even if we wanted to. Casa is a half-demon. Your mother is a full demon. Casa would die if we did," Naraku laughed, turning Casa's head to face him as he admired her. "Now I can use her body to my pleasure."
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!" Kouga demanded, his eyes red. "NO ONE GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO TOUCH HER!"
Inuyasha had brought out Tetsusaiga, angry as well.
Sesshomaru's eyes were back to normal. Casa was gone, forever. He couldn't even bring her back. A tear trickled down his cheek as he closed his eyes. And she said he could bring her back...
"Dad?" Blossom said, running to her father's side. "DAD!"
"Blossom, you and Inu no Taisho get out of her," Sesshomaru whispered. "NOW!"
"Not without you," Inu no Taisho said.
"Listen, just go!" He paused. "Your mother isn't returning."
"DAD!" Blossom yelled. "Just use Tenseiga. It's not over."
"You don't understand. Your grandmother has your mother's soul. I couldn't bring her back unless my mother dies," Sesshomaru told them.
"Yes, and this is why is works soooo well," Naraku laughed. "You couldn't kill your own mother."
"Fine, then I WILL!" Inuyasha yelled, running at Sesshomaru's mother, his Tetsusgaiga poised to kill. But she erected up a barrier.
"You couldn't either. She had the powers of Casa now," Naraku laughed. "For once, you cannot hurt a pawn of mine. Kanna has been defeated before, Kagura had been defeated and reabsorbed into me, and all my other incarnations have been destroyed. For now, you are pathetic."
"Pathetic my ass!" Inuyasha yelled, slashing at Sesshomaru's mother. She looked at Inuyasha, first curiously, and then in a glare.
"You look like my mate!" She exclaimed. "You're that bitch's son, Izayoi!"
Inuyasha's eyes turned into an even angrier glare. "DON'T YOU DARE CALL MY MOTHER A BITCH!"
Inuyasha slashed furiously at Sesshomaru's mother's barrier, but after a while, she blasted him backward with one hand. That was Casa's signature move at Inuyasha. So, Naraku was telling the truth.
"Dearest, who are all these nuisances? That, I know, is your hated half-brother, but who are those two around you, and them over there?" Sesshomaru's mother asked Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru glared at her. "You aren't my mother and cannot and will not copy her. Yes, I could not kill my mother. But I can definitely kill YOU!"Sesshomaru yelled, unsheathing Tokijin. "And DON'T call me dearest."
He was fast, running to his mother for an attack, but it was pointless. Just like Inuyasha, Sesshomaru was smashed into the wall by his mate's powers. Sesshomaru's mother sighed and turned to Naraku.
"Could you explain to me who they are?" She asked desperately. "It doesn't seem like my son is responding the way a lord is supposed to."
Naraku laughed and made his way to Sesshomaru's mother as Sesshomaru's children ran to their father's side, asking if he was all right. He nodded, moaned painfully, and winced a couple of times before raising. Casa had become that strong over the course of their lives? He last remembered her only being able to whack him when he teased her. Oh, and knock Inuyasha out when in her sorceress form.
------
Sesshomaru's mother nodded after the explanation from Naraku as Sesshomaru finally made his way to his feet, a little wobbly. Sesshomaru's mother smiled widely at Sesshomaru before looking at his son and daughter.
"So, you mated and even produced an heir as planned, hum?" Sesshomaru's mother laughed. "I would have thought you would have abandoned the plan altogether."
"Actually, Casa was the one who was persistent," Sesshomaru growled, taking a step forward, the hand on his sword gripping it tightly. "I'm actually glad she found me." He raised his sword. "I found the love of my life that day."
He swung his sword down fast, a purple attack heading for Sesshomaru's mother. She laughed before blocking the attack. But it went right through her barrier. She was quickly pulled out of the way by Naraku, saving her almost short, reborn life. Sesshomaru growled at Naraku. First off, the bastard was touching a resemblance of his mother and, second off, he moved her out of the way without getting himself killed.
"How... How did that go through?" Sesshomaru's mother asked, dumbfounded. Naraku sneered at Sesshomaru before standing in front of Sesshomaru's mother. Sesshomaru growled.
"Listen, boy," Naraku sneered. Calling Sesshomaru a "boy" was not a good idea. It only flared his anger more. "You will not kill her. Casa is gone and accept the reality of it."
Sesshomaru finally smiled. "Why are you so protective of her? So, if I kill her, Casa will come back, hum?" Sesshomaru pointed out with a smile on his face.
A growl erupted from Naraku. "No," he said simply, "but I just don't want this lovely woman gone now that she's alive, and now Casa can be in my bed, forever."
The glare returned to Sesshomaru's face. He was definitely going to kill both of them, no matter what. He needed Casa more than his mother, and Naraku just deserved to die.
"Father, we should-"Inu no Taisho started before a gasp was heard and a really excited mother burst.
"SESSHOMARU! HE'S SO ADORABLE! YOUR SON IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE YOUR FATHER WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER! SESSHOMARU, YOU CHOSE ALL TOO WELL!" Sesshomaru's mother exclaimed loudly. A very bright blush erupted from Inu no Taisho's cheeks as Blossom suddenly glared at the woman.
"Oh, and what about ME?" Blossom growled in an outrage. "I'm his DAUGHTER!"
Sesshomaru's mother blinked with confusion before shrugging. "I see no resemblance to my son."
"That's because I look like my MOTHER!" Blossom erupted. Sesshomaru placed two fingers on his daughter's wing, being sure not to let his daughter go after his mother. He wanted her for himself.
"Heh. That doesn't matter to me. My grandson will keep the Inu tradition going, not some whore," Sesshomaru's mother scoffed.
Blossom didn't have enough time to reply. Her father beat her to it. "You DARE call my daughter a whore? Why you-"
Sesshomaru ran full blast, his Tokijin clutched even tighter than before. His mother was too busy insulting his daughter to have time to erect a barrier. In a moment, Sesshomaru's mother was sliced directly in half, blood pouring everywhere. However, the soul drifted out and darted to Casa before pausing a second. Everyone watched it in shock and confusion, wanting to find out why it was stopped suddenly and what was to happen to Casa now. Naraku laughed, the only one who broke the silence.
"Fool! Your mother AND mate are now dead!" Naraku crackled. He began to get away before Inuyasha held the villain up with Tetsusaiga on the back of his robes. The villain struggled as Inuyasha laughed.
"Hey, I didn't think it would be this easy to get him. His powers must have not returned completely," Inuyasha sneered at Naraku before the soul moved. Everyone watched it as it, well, scanned Casa before hovering a few more moments and jetting inside Casa. Sesshomaru dropped Tokijin in his mother's blood and ran to Casa's side when her head lifted up. She was alive. SHE WAS ALIVE!
