I don't own the characters of Inuyasha.
Kagome followed Sesshomaru and Taisho to Sesshomaru's study.
All Kagome could do was glare at the back of Taisho's Head.
Did they find her out? If so she would beat the old man into oblivion!
They turned a couple of corners until they came to his study.
Sesshomaru slid the door open and Kagome and Taisho followed him in.
Kagome closed the door behind them and turned to see Lady Katsumi standing there waiting.
Katsumi looked at Sesshomaru.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru for allowing her to see me. If you do not mind I would like to speak with her alone." Lady Katsumi asked.
Sesshomaru nodded. He was not one to listen to anyone but this Hana servant is still being shared between him and the East. He could not deny.
He would allow them to speak in here. He had no secrets of the West in his study. They were all hidden in a place none would find them. Had he not been able to hear them he would of thought the masked girl was a spy.
"We will be in the library down the hall. Join us once you are finished." Sesshomaru said as him and his father left the room. Kagome closed the door behind them.
The demons made it to the end of the hall. Taisho looked at his son as the entered the library.
"Why come here knowing we can hear them and they will have no real privacy to speak?"
"Because I feel that it is necess-" Sesshomaru paused mid sentence as a certain name flowed into Both demons ears.
'Kagome.'
"Kagome I'm sorry to come and see you like this. I know you've only been gone over night." Katsumi said.
Kagome sighed.
"Forgive me Lady Katsumi, but please don't call me that here. To these people I am currently Hana. But I was wondering why you came to see me."
Katsumi looked at Kagome straight in her eyes.
"I am bothered. I knew your name. Just not what you have accomplished. You are the Shikon no miko. Why didn't you tell me?" Katsumi asked.
She seemed saddened at the fact that Kagome hid something from her.
Kagome sighed as she looked away.
"To most she's dead or missing. At the moment, I would like to keep it that way. It's harder to do now that Taro sent me here as a 'peace offering.'" Kagome said bitterly
Katsumi started getting aggravated.
"That's not the case at all. Father thinks of you as his other daughter. He thought it would be best if you revealed who you are to these people. He knows of Hidou so he thought if you had these allies back on your side you could stand against Hidou better. And there's something else. It's another reason I came." Katsumi stated.
Kagome glared at Katsumi. Yes she was royalty but they are literally Close like sisters they did not care about formalities.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"Father and I figured out who your father is. Your father knows it's you under the mask. It's Lord Kain of the North." Katsumi said.
Kagome clenched her fists in anger.
"He's been alive for what I can assume as a long ass time. My family is here. I am here. Yet after Fourteen years, he just now makes himself known?! That's bullshit. Some father!" Kagome said bitterly.
Katsumi gave a sad smile.
"My father said I could come and tell you. But he told me after you left. He said that you would probably not want to see him anyways. But he also said that your father is coming to visit the West and that Lord Sesshomaru already knows and plans for it. But he has no idea this man is your father." Katsumi said.
Kagome looked at her best friend.
"Thank you for warning me. How long will you stay?" Kagome said.
Katsumi nodded.
"I am not sure. I still have to talk to Lord Sesshomaru about that."
Kagome nodded.
After the conversation Sesshomaru looked to his father.
"You knew, did you not? She is the miko that aided in destroying Naraku." He said still trying to register what he just heard.
"I discovered it last night. Do not punish her, her reasons are valid. I assure you." Taisho said.
Sesshomaru nodded taking his father's word.
They both heard the library door open and then close.
They turned to face the miko and Lady Katsumi.
"I apologize Lord Sesshomaru. I would also like to talk to you about staying afew days to make Sure Hana is settled. My father holds her dear to him."
"You may, I will have a servant prepare a room for you." Lord Sesshomaru said.
He looked to Haha.
"Go back to Rin and send Jaken back to me. You will be relieved from your guard duty once Rin is asleep. Am I clear human?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome bowed and rose.
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru, He will be up here shortly." Kagome said as she walked out closing the door behind her.
A servant showed up to take Katsumi to her rooms.
When they were alone once again, Taisho spoke.
"Did you have to be so rude to the human in front of Lady Katsumi?" Inutaisho asked.
"The miko was a human worth respecting. She has changed though. She now has secrets. That wavers my trust in her." Sesshomaru said.
Taisho nodded.
"That is understandable." He said to his son.
