Chapter 8

The halls were quiet and the lands were sleeping. The few that were awake were the ones that protected the lands at their boarders and the ones that would fight till death. Just as they entered the lands, Jezebeth had made sure that they would stay unseen. She knew that they knew the truth, after all she HAD send them a vision about what was going on. Once they reached the throne room, Jezebeth turned to Kyashi and asked, "How have you been?"

"I'm been bad, but now that you're here I'll be a lot better." Kyashi answered.

"When my grandmother walks in I would like to be left alone with her." Jezebeth stated as she looked around the room. 'Not much has changed.'

"Just give me your wish and I shall grant it." Kyashi replied before he pulled her into his arms and kissed.

'Shit…if I push away he'll know that I'm mated before the mark will show. If I allow him to kiss me Sota will be so mad at me.' Jezebeth thought sadly as she tried to figure out what to do.

'Just let it be.' Her inner dragon stated.

'We have already talked without mate.' Her inner inu demon added.

Before she could question the two about what they had just said, Jezebeth felt Kyashi pull away before she heard him say, "I hope to be given that chance."

"Kyashi…how dare you enter my lands with a whore at your side. I had warned you that I would not allow you to live should you enter my lands ever again." Queen Yume was heard as she and her two guards walked in.

"Not even if my whore, as you put it is your granddaughter?" Kyashi asked as he stepped aside.

"No…she…it…she died." Vetis was heard.

"Kyashi…why don't you take your friends and wait for me out side, no harm shall come to you." Jezebeth ordered as she stepped for to say, "Hello grandmother."

"Jezebeth…Vetis…Verin….leave us." She growled.

Once the room was empty, Jezebeth smiled and quickly formed a barrier that not even her past grandmother knew off. Once she was sure she could speak, Queen Yume stared at the girl and said, "You don't belong here…Emeri. You are not the granddaughter I once knew. Why have you come to this time?"



"Queen Yume…it is a pleasure to meet you but I'm afraid I do know you even though we've never met. I am Jezebeth's reincarnation and I DO remember EVERYTHING. So I would like it if you just played along." Emeri hissed.

"As you wise." Yume whispered as she felt the barrier go down before she asked, "How can you still be alive…after all these years."

"No hello how are you my lost granddaughter? I'm hurt." Jezebeth replied with a wide grin.

"I have missed you but I have moved on. You are no longer the heir to this throne if that is your wish." Queen Yume replied.

"I do not wish to be heir to anything; I merely came to ask that you stop your attacks on Kyashi and his friends." Jezebeth said as she took a seat.

"You have an intended do you not? What of him?" Yume growled as she faked her anger. Not that she needed to do much faking.

"He is in the future and there nothing I can do. I cannot wait five hundred years for him." Jezebeth growled as she began to pick everything in the room into the air. 'Fucking bitch…how dare she think that I would not bring him with me.'

"Very well than, my dragons shall be called off however you and Kyashi are forbidden to enter my lands. I will not have an unfaithful mate to be in my lands." Queen Yume growled as she turned her back to her.

Before Jezebeth could say anything, Kyashi stormed into the room and pulled her into his arms. Before she could even say a word or do anything, Kyashi was sent flying across the room as all of her powers were focused on him instead of the items that were not on the floor. Jezebeth was brought out of thought when she heard the dragoness yell out, "Kyashi! Lord Kyashi!"

"Lord?!" Queen Yume roared before she held Kyashi by the neck. "How dare you have them call you that. You will never be one that deserves to be called a 'lord'! Now leave!"

"Sorry Kyashi…you caught me off of guard." Jezebeth stated as she easily slammed her past grandmother against the wall while getting him free.

"Queen Yume!" Vetis and Verin were heard.

Without even looking back, Jezebeth walked out with Waku, Kyashi and the dragoness that had joined them. 'That was for ignoring my mate.' Jezebeth thought as she walked out with the four of them. Once they were out of sight and out of hearing range, Queen Yume turned to Vetis and Verin and said, "Take care of my kingdom. I must go and speak with Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Inuyasha. Do not fail me."



"Yes Queen Yume." Vetis and Verin said at the same time as they watched their queen leave the room.

Sota sat in silence; he had no idea that there was so much involved with demon mating. Emeri had tried to explain it once, actually it was right after they had shared a bed but that wasn't the point. If she was unfaithful he would be able to tell in a heartbeat just as she would be able to tell if he were unfaithful to her. Knowing that he had one more question to ask, Sota turned to Sesshomaru only to notice the demon Lord on his feet with the Tokijin out and read for battle.

"I know that you are there…Queen Yume show yourself." Sesshomaru growled as he quickly stood in front of his brother.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I am here to speak with you and your brother. I do not have much time." Queen Yume stated.

"What is it that you cannot tell this Sesshomaru?"

"It would seem that my granddaughter had returned. I shall need your and your brothers' help to find her and to force her back to her own time." Queen Yume answered.

"Emeri? You've seen Emeri?" Sota asked as he quickly stepped out and from behind Sesshomaru back to face the dragon demon.

"Yes, however who are you and how do you know of whom I spoke off?" Queen Yume growled as she tried to enter his mind.

However the moment she had tried such a thing, Queen Yume felt a stinging pain on her arm. Just as she opened her arms, she found that Sesshomaru had attacked her to keep her from entering the boys mind. But before she could do anything she felt a small purifying barrier surround her. Sota started at the dragon demon with cold eyes and said, "Try it again and I'll purify you. I know who you are. Now tell me where Emeri went."

"Sota!" Kagome was heard as she easily dispelled his barrier.

"You should have just waited for us kid." Inuyasha added.

"Do not blame him Inuyasha for it was Emeri who has sent her." Sesshomaru growled.

"So Emeri is in the eastern lands? Is she alright?" Sango asked as she approached them.

"If she was sent here and I believe that she had no other choice then to leave with Kyashi once more." Miroku replied.

"The monk is right, Emeri is still with Kyashi. I can only wish that her mate does not find out about her unfaithfulness." Queen Yume replied.



Before Kagome or Inuyasha could stop him, Sota had punched the dragoness so hard that she was slammed against the nearest tree. As she tried to stand up a curse began to wrap around her as they all heard Sota's cold voice say, "Emeri would never be unfaithful to me. She is only doing what she thinks will help save your live."

"So, you are her mate, I am glad to see that what she spoke of was false. However we still need to talk. I cannot allow Kyashi to live now that his followers have started to call him a lord." Queen Yume stated.

"How much time do you have?" Miroku asked.

(A/N: Miroku and Sango are there with them still because they all know that Emeri will not let Kyashi attack the village.)

"I have to get back to my lands so no, we must speak now and here. Miko…can you place a barrier around us?" Queen Yume answered.

"Already done, now talk." Sota stated.
