Chapter 13: The Letter
Naoke wrote quickly with a huge smile on her face. Her life had suddenly took a dramatic turn and for the first time in a long time she felt she could come to her mother whenever she wanted with questions and knew she would answer them. Another wonderful thing about all of it, was that she got to share something so amazing and exciting with her mother.
She was so happy to know who her father was and where she came from that she wanted to tell everyone about it. Kagome of course warned her that it was a family secret, so Naoke decided to share her joy with her family. When she was finished with what she was writing she put the paper into an envelope, hurried downstairs and stuck the envelope in the mailbox.
She stood there with a smile for a few seconds before going back in the house. A couple of days later a black haired college student who looked similar to Kagome checked to see if he had any mail. The only thing he had received was a letter. He smiled down at it as he recognized his niece's name. He went inside his dorm room and sat down on his bed. He began reading the letter.
Dear Uncle Souta,
'I hope you are having a good time at college. I just found out something so exciting and had to tell you. I'm part demon!...
As Souta read this his expression grew curious, a little concerned with a half smile.
'Oh so much has happened. I went into the well and a demon kidnapped me. Of course mom came to save me and dad too! The demon kidnapped uncle Miroku and aunt Sango too. Oh yeah, hehe, I just call them that, but don't worry, you're still the number one uncle.'
Souta chuckled at this.
'Anyway, somehow all of us was there with the demon, her name was Aoi. She put me under a spell and tried to get me to kill mom, but don't worry everyone's ok now. My dad, Inuyasha, they call him, finally killed Aoi, with the help of Miroku and Sango's daughter, so I was told, I was out of it. The really cool part though is when I woke up. Mom told me the truth, that Inuyasha is my real father.
I know everyone, even you, was keeping it from me to protect me, but I'm not mad anymore. I'm just happy that I know my father now. I guess it's not too bad being part demon either, although I'm still trying to get used to it. It is kind of weird and cool at the same time. I still have a lot to learn though.
I just hope I don't mess up with all my training if I decide to do it. Oh yeah, mom agreed that I can take lessons from my dad to control my powers, if I have any. I'm not really sure yet. Since mom, what was it she said, oh yeah, purified me and turned me human when I was a baby; she gave me the option to be demon if I want. I guess she was always worried that I might find out if I started using powers one day, haha, guess so. I haven't made up my mind for sure if I want to be part demon; I've gotten so used to being a human. If I do then dad, still getting used to saying that too, will teach me how to control my powers.
In any case I'm really happy now, you know more than before. Grams and mom are doing great so you don't have to worry about them either. Well I guess I should let you get back to your studies. Write me back if it's not too much trouble.
Oh yeah, I'm not totally sure, but I think something's going on between mom and dad, like some sort of reunion since they had to be so secretive, but I'm not stupid I know what's really going on. Guess it would be cool to have them back together.
Your best and only niece,
Noake
Souta smiled as he finished reading. He was so glad that Naoke knew everything now. He hated having to keep it all from her, but seeing as it was his sister's daughter and not his, he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't blame his sister too much though. She was a wonderful mother who just wanted her daughter safe. Souta folded the letter and put it somewhere no one else could find it. It looked like everything was going good at home.
A/N: sorry it's so short, I just wanted to put a chapter in about Naoke and Souta's relationship because I know I haven't since now and I wanted to explain to everyone why Naoke never had powers and was so 'normal', anyway, please review and the next chapter might just be the last one to tie everything together.
