What was lost

Disclaimer: I don't own it…it would be nice though.

A/N: If u couldn't tell from my last two chapters…I like cliffy's! However this one isn't gonna be one.

Chapter 9: A new begging for others

Sesshomaru growled. He had felt Rin's wave of fright. Whatever was going on he did not like it, it couldn't be good…not at all. It didn't take much to startle Rin, but it took some effort to make her shake in fear. That's just the way she was. After all, she did decide that she was going to keep on going to him when he was wounded and tried to scare her away. He could scare her definitely. If he raised his voice ever so slightly she flinched…as a daughter would with her father.

He growled even louder when he found out exactly where Rin, Nir, and Kagura was at. They neared a huge, massive palace, so huge in fact it could easily rival that of the Western Lands. Sesshomaru was so content of finding them that he didn't realize that they had went in the direction of the Eastern Lands…the lands that belonged to his forefather's on his mother's side. This was what used to be the dwelling of the poison white-inuyoukai. This is the place where his mother had perished, or perished from her youkai form that is before becoming a human priestess. Nearing the castle by each step memories he never knew he had came flooding back at him. He, Inuyasha, and Naraku remembered exactly why they had all those freaky visions of the childhood that they supposedly never had.

Serene words crept into each of their minds. The three of them fell simultaneously to their knees, then on the grass covered ground. A barrier was put up around them right when Kagome went to see what the heck happened. She heard a voice to her right and turned to see Totosai.

"Be careful Kagome. You must not wake them. They are remembering what was lost to them years ago."

"What do you mean?"

"Almost two hundred years ago Naraku, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru were really close…like family. Were one went the other two would fallow. It is not my place to say as to what had happened, but don't worry, if you all of you close your eyes and concentrate you will be able to see what there dreaming. Some unanswered questions will be answered hear and now. The spell like sleep that their under shows the past, present, and the future."

And almost all at once, all of them closed their eyes.

Meanwhile in the castle

Arugak sneered and snarled at Kagura. Kagura growled back. Rin was shocked and Nirania was scared for she was covered in her mothers blood. Arugak closed her eyes and let go of Kagura's hand.

"Had enough?" she asked tauntingly

Arugak didn't answer but she found her next target…her daughter. She backhanded Nirania and she went flying. She chased her daughter to the next wall…then the next. Rin had seen enough. She was about to go help when Kagura stopped her forcefully.

"Are you alright Rin?"

"Yes I'm fine! Let me go so I can go help her!"

"There isn't no hope for her Rin…"

"There is still hope Okka, there is always hope. I saw in her eyes regret when she was fighting me…she really didn't want to hurt me…she was forced to!" Rin said with sadness in her voice.

"Are you sure Rin…you trust her?"

"Surprisingly yes I do." They were interrupted when they saw some of Nir's blood on the floor. As well as Nir herself, her body sprawled out on the floor looking broken.

"You failed me Nir! You failed me, you failed your life, but most of all you failed your father!" she said with hatred coming out of every word she spoke.

"NO! No…I couldn't have…daddy…" Nir trailed off as she was kicked in the side again.

"STOP!" Rin screamed with everything in her. She ran and took the next blow from Arugak for Nirania. Arugak picked Rin up by her collar so she was face to face with the human girl.

"You should've waited your turn human!" and with that she punched Rin square in the face making her topple on top of Nir.

"And you should watch your back!" Kagura exclaimed as she grabbed Arugak by her hair and swung her head harshly against the wall making a sickening crack.

"You!" she said as she was laying on the floor. She was mid-stride of punching Kagura when a hand stopped her.

Everyone looked up and saw Lucisherkon standing there with a look on his face that no one could read. He began to squish Arugak's hand in his fist. She let out a cry that made your blood curdle.

"I killed you once I brought you back and now I am defiantly going to kill you again. Have peace in the after life! I don't need you any more…I have this new and improved version of you, Kagura." And with that he killed Arugak with a single hand.

"Why…" were her last words.

Kagura's heart ached for Nirania, as she watched in horror as her mother was token away from her once again. She hid her face in her clothes and started to cry. But she stopped when Lucisherkon turned to her and smiled.

"I brought you back too, however I love torturing you. You will no longer be welcomed in this castle and you will be treated like these two. You are now a enemy to me as well as just another doll to play with." And with that he left.

Rin went over to Nirania and without thinking wrapped her up in a hug. Surprisingly Nirania didn't push away, but nor did she respond. It was only when Kagura came over to her did she stiffen up. Rin felt this and told her not to worry, Kagura was a great friend. Kagura got down so she was eye level with Nirania.

"How could you still love her after all that she's put you through?"

"She was still my mother…I've lost my mother and father…I have no one!" she said while trying to hold back tears.

"Your father dose not hate you…in fact he loves you so much that he's trying to get to us right now…wherever this is."

"You're a pretty good fighter lady…"

"Kagura."

"Lady Kagura. No female I have met has given my mother a run for her money like you did." She said with awe in her voice.

"Well I'm not like other female's."

Nir looked down at her mother's corpse and began to cry again. She was stopped when Kagura was saying something to her.

"Ya know if you ever need a shoulder to cry on kid you can come to me" Nir crushing herself on her cut her off. Nir was crying hysterically. Rin hugged them from the other side. She forgot to tell Nir about her healing abilities. Nir stopped and looked over her body with a confused look.

"Rin can heal people with just a touch." She informed her. Right at that moment she felt so motherly beyond belief.

It had token a while to get Nir really calmed down. She fell asleep in Kagura's lap. Rin looked up at Kagura and smiled.

"I told you there was hope for her yet."

"Yes Rin you did, I'm sorry I ever doubted…"

"Its ok."

Kagura knew a pause only when one was going to ask a difficult or embarrassing question.

"Kagura…"

"Yes Rin?"

"Can I call you mama?"

"Not only her Lady Kagura, but I also." Came Nir's voice from Kagura's lap. "Your more of a mother than my real one was…and I only noticed this with in a couple of hours that I've known you."

"I…"

"We both share the same father, so why not the same mother?" Nir asked looking at Rin and smiling

"I guess you could, I mean I never really been a mother before…"

"Were sisters!" Rin said excitedly.

"Yes, now we are. Now little sister, go to sleep, mom's already tired."

"Yes Nir."

And with that all three of them went to sleep not caring what was in store for tomorrow. All that they cared about was the time that they were sharing together. Each of them knew that right now that Sesshomaru was coming for his family. However they didn't know that he was stuck under a spell that could kill him…
