Chapter Eight

Author's Notes: All right … for like future reference or something … the way I see it, if a hanyou and a full demon have children, it could go both ways. They could have both full and half blooded demon children. If you don't like my POV then oh well … suck it up :p

Some time later, the three teenage girls were in Lana's room, the other two gushing over the two brown-haired boys. Lana sighed a little, resting her head on her pillow.

Okay … so I let a stranger kiss me. What's the big deal? She rose and walked outside, watching as the sunset, looking at the beautiful pinks, oranges and yellows. She held the pouch that was attached to a string of silk around her neck and looked down at it. She wasn't exactly sure why but she could feel that something about these "jewel shards", as most knew them, was going to change her life completely and that boy … Roukan, certainly fit into place. The question was, what was his place in this giant puzzle of her new life? He was still a stranger to her and yet, she felt something inside her long to see him again. Lana looked up to the sky and was a little surprised to find herself thinking about that kiss … her first kiss. So …that's what it feels like to be kissed by someone other than your family. She smiled a little, looking down at the pouch again, she could see the two pink shards glow inside of the pouch and then looked up to the setting sky yet again before turning and going back into her room. Watch out, Roukan. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.

The next day, Sesshomaru was, yet again, the only one up. The morning was bright and beginning to warm already. He could hear the birds singing their cheerful songs and the honeybees, buzzing around, collecting the nectar from the beautiful flowers that bloomed and grew so easily. He loved this time of day. It was as if half of the world was just waking up and the other half was just going to bed. It was as if time was as two different points, still continuing to go on as if no one noticed it.

He didn't even have to turn or open his eyes to tell that his daughter was right behind him. "Good morning, Karmila." A smile played on her young, teenage lips and she walked over beside him, looking out at the morning. "Good morning … father." She said quietly, knowing no matter how quiet she said it, he would still hear it. Hearing her call him that, touch Lord Sesshomaru more than he would let on. After a minute, he motioned her to sit down as he sat himself.

"I have something I would like to talk to you about on this fine morning." He said softly.
Karmila nodded a little, sitting down next to him. "Yes?"

"Shortly after I had entrusted you with your aunt and uncle, I found out that your mother had kept something from me. More like someone, though." The teenage girl blinked her golden eyes a little, waiting for him to go on.

"You have an older brother, Karmila." He looked to his daughter, expecting a completely different reaction than the one he got.
"I do?" He nodded and then found himself being hugged by the excited girl. "That's so cool! I've always wondered what it would be like to have a brother! Especially an older one!" She let go of him though excitement still hummed throughout her body.
"So? What's he like? What does he look like? Does he look more like you or mom? How old is he? Where is he now?" Sesshomaru blinked a little bit but a slow smile came onto his face as he gently patted her hand.

"Well, he is a full demon, his name is Taiki, I think he looks more like me, he is about eighteen and he should be coming here any day now." Karmila gasped a little in total excitement.

"Wow … I have an older brother."

Author's Notes: I don't know why I'm putting this up but … according to my sister and my friends, you have to have some sort of disclaimer (which I think is sort of dumb cause I mean .. duh … if we all DID own InuYasha, I doubt we'd be writing about him!)

Disclaimer: I, obviously, don't own InuYasha. Just the many original characters in this story
