Chapter 11: The mysterious soothsayer

Sesshomaru and the other gypsies arrive at the palace guiding future Sakura Hime-sama to her room along with Akame. The palace suddenly changes a lot for the past 200 years since Sesshomaru was here last time. When lady Kurai Tsuki would often call him into her room and made him dance in front of her and family members that would stare at him in lust. The way he would his body were bewitching every single person in the room. He wouldn't let any women touch him not even that devil wicked witch the one who was the cause of his grandfather death.

"Lady Akame!" shouted a voice

Sesshomaru held in a growl seeing the woman with her long wavy black hair with dull blue eyes. Inside her arms was an infant of a young girl. With black hair with a hint of dark purple in it as well but her eyes weren't golden eyes but were a dark shade of purple. The baby nearly looked like a younger girl version of Sanyo. Bearing the marks of a waxing moon her forehead and the red marks on her cheek. The infant indeed a beautiful child and suddenly began laughing inside her mother's arms.

"Lady Kurai Tsuki, Congratulation on giving birth to your daughter" Akame replied

"Thank you for your blessing but I'm glad that you're safe and sound"

"Gomenasai Tsuki"

Sakura hid behind Akame leg looking up at Tsuki in fear with her little hand trembling. The redhead yokai gently smile at his adopted daughter. Patting her head letting the young child know that the advisor won't hurt her. Sakura smiles before being lifted up inside his arms feeling safe and warm for what felt like an eternity. The little girl fell asleep in his arms with Akame given his adopted daughter a warm smile.

"Such a lovely daughter Lady Akame and congratulations on your engagement with Lord Haru" Tsuki compliment

"Arigato Kurai Tsuki-sama" Akame replied

Sesshomaru began whispering in Akame ear making look like it was an important situation. Tsuki understood the situation and excuse herself away from the group. The other disguise gypsies bowed down before the Inu youkai and the wolf youkai into one of the room. One of them made sure that no one was watching them from the distant.

Sesshomaru POV

The other two undercover gypsies Koro and Kanyo spread out the map of the underground prison they're keeping the rest of us. Judging from the map during the last 200 years I escape from the Southern Lands the underground prison has increased intensely. There were now prisoners for young children like the ones I saw...that bastard...damn him to hell. Keeping my anger in control as Koro explain the underground secret route.

"The underground secret route hasn't changed for the last 200 years when I first attended here" Kanyo explain

"Can some of the older route still be used?" I question

"Apparently not since Haru men's have them destroy once you and other gypsies had escaped centuries ago" Kanyo answers

"Damn it, I'm assuming that the newer route is trickier than the original ones"

"Not necessary since the one from the garden is the main cut short that the secret unit and the guards don't even know about"

"How come Haru or his men never notice this?"

"It was built by Haru soothsayer himself, quite a mysterious man"

A soothsayer huh, quite interesting since Haru hate anyone that is related to us gypsies including soothsayers. This land keeps getting stranger and more mysterious at the moment. Koro continues explaining to take the route in the garden late at night. I couldn't wait to see Sanyo and the others once more. It's been way too long after being away from them. Though I still couldn't forget about the soothsayer, it feels as if I need to know who it is. Better to find tomorrow night the today since it was a long trip from the Western Land to the Southern Land.

All in a day work as we finish discussing the map we decided to go over it once more tomorrow morning without any suspicion. Heading down the palace garden as my job to guard the place but also see any gypsies trying to escape. As if I'll let them return to their hellish life in their prison cells. Keeping my sharp eyes out in order to help the gypsies that escape.

So far after an hour or two has pass by I heard light footsteps coming toward to the garden. Wielding my spear out to keep my act going on. I saw a mysterious figure hiding in a black cloak that was making him blend into the night.

"Who goes there?" I question in a stern voice

"The royal soothsayer...Lord Sesshomaru of the West" he replied

My eyes widen in shock as my identity was reveal but hopefully that no one heard it. I growl at the soothsayer in a threatening way. He raises his hands in surrender before setting his hood down which made me even warier.

"...Naraku?...but you're dead" I stutters

This man right before me was the hanyou that tried to murder my wife many years ago. My eyes began growling red until I notice something. His scent was different like as if he's an actually a pureblood demon and his eyes weren't bloodshot red but a light dark brown color. His face resembles that monster but it was more pure and innocent like. I wield the spear down and looked at him confusedly.

"Who are you?" I asks

"Naraku younger brother and Kagura biological father"
