Summary: You never quite know what life has instore for you but sometimes it's better not knowing.

What Happened Last Time-

I heard a loud knock at the door followed by him squawking about a visiter but before I was able to respond my room door was thrown open to reveal my father in the flesh.

"Mate" he said as his eyes looked upon her but as our eyes met we both knew there was something terribly wrong.

" Father? How are you here?" I couldn't help but feel myself pull my mate closer as he eyed her.

" I know not I awoke a days trip from here this morning and once I caught the scent of my mate my beast took over and the next I knew I was knocking down your door." his eyes hadn't left her since he had come in and and it was beginning to leave a sore taste in my mouth.

" I am sorry to say but your mate isn't here father. The women before you is my mate and I ask that you leave this place if you continue to spought such nonsense." I felt the deep rumble of his growl before I actually heard it and felt his beast begin to reemerge but I couldn't leave her side until she fully changed which left me no choice but to grab her and run.

" Mine" was all I could here as I ran for our lives. He was catching up quickly and I couldn't help but wish my mate had already changed so that I could just fight him. However, since that wasn't really an option I chose to try and wake her slowly. I began calling her name and taping her lightly but as she woke up her eyes glew a soft pink.

" My lord you are mistaken in your beliefs. Lady Kagome is not just your mate, she belongs to both you and the great InuNoTashio. Together you will all usher in a era of peace and prosperity. However, to do so you will all have to accept things as they are and grow together." I couldn't help but stop dead when I heard this." Don't worry your mate will survive the change and become a beautiful and powerful demoness. She is merely acting as a vessel for a moment so that we might speak to you and your father." I could feel him standing off to the side and the retreating of his beast.

"Are you responsible for my coming back?" his voice no longer held the gutteral sound of his beast as he gained control once again.

"Yes, we are and we expect great things from the three of you." Kagome's eyes began to flash between there normal color and the glow of the kami " It appears your mate is fighting against us. Goodbye for now and remember all that has been said to you today. With that Kagome's body became limp in my arms as the glowing light faded from her. I felt the reality of the situation begin to set in as the moments dragged on. My beast whined in confusion while i looked into the peaceful face of our mate. How could we share a mate with our father ? It simply isn't done. A mate is supposed to be your equal in every regard but they are also supposed to solely belong to you and you to them. I felt the confusion slowly morphing into anger at the fact that once again my father would take something dear to me. However, when I happened to glance at his face I did not see the victory I thought would be present but a deep pain within his golden eyes as they looked upon her.

"She won't be happy when she wakes will she ?" He sounded dejected as he continued to gaze upon her.

"No she will most certainly be as she would say pissed. However, that is something we can handle at a later date right now we must get her back to the Citadel. She is currently in the process of changing and she needs her rest to make it safely." with that said I ran back not paying any mind to him running beside me.

When we got to the citadel we parted ways. I couldn't seem to really process what had happened in the past hours since I awakened. The Kami gave me a second chance but I couldn't help but feel pain at knowing they didn't gift me Izayoi as well. I felt so much joy when I smelt my mate and I was hoping against all hope that she was inside that room but when I looked and saw the small women curled into my son I felt confused and pained. My beast rejoiced in finding our mate but I felt a bitter cold sweep over me. I was barely able to pull myself from the foreboding I felt long enough to hear the Kami's words. To share a mate was unheard of amongst youki. The thought of sharing my mate made my beast whimper and cry out while it gave me hope. Hope that perhaps she would reject me and the kami would grant me peace in death with my love. However, I had a sinking feeling that would not be the case as my beast clawed at its cage trying to take control back and make our mate want us.
