Chapter 4

Father and Daughter

A month and two weeks later, Inuyasha and the others woke up to a morning like no other. Insueka body was weak because she was going to die in five days.

"We better get going." Inuyasha walked off.

"Could we first get packed?" Everyone said as Inuyasha walked off. He stopped and turned around.

"Ok hurry."

"Why?"

"Naraku is nearby."

"Father….." Insueka started to say.

"Insueka are you feeling fine?" Sango said looking at Insueka.

"Huh? Yeah, I was only thinking." 'Finally after ten years we meet again, Father.' Insueka said to herself.

When everyone was packed they started to walk a path for the whole day.

"Can we stopped I am tried. I am not really use to this yet." Insueka said falling to the ground.

"OK I guess it won't do any harm." Inuyasha sat on the ground.

"Thank you." Insueka laid her head on the ground. 'I've been tried a lot more then I use to be. Maybe my end is near.' Insueka thought then rolled on her back and fell asleep.

"She must have been really tried." Shippo said looking at the sleeping Insueka.

"Yeah could it been her body is weakening?" Kagome said sitting on the ground.

"I guess so; her body seems to get weaker everyday." But then Inuyasha noticed that it was going to be the night of the new moon. 'Damn I'll be a human again. Damn it all.' Inuyasha said to himself.

"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kagome said when she saw his face.

"Tonight is the night of the new moon." Insueka said waking up.

"What that time of the month already?"

"Yeah, I am going out for a little walk." She walked off with the sun setting behind her. But a memory hit Inuyasha.

-----------------------------

"Inuyasha there is something that you need to know about Insueka."

"What is it Sesshomaru?"

"Insueka will turn into a human on the night of the new moon and that is when she will have an attack of her curse. Do not let her out of your sight. If something happens to her I will hunt you down and kill you. Understand little brother?" Sesshomaru said in his usual cold tone.

"Yeah, I understand Sesshomaru."

----------------------------------

"Insueka, wait you shouldn't be walking away alone. Remember what happened last time." Inuyasha said running trying to catch up with her. But she was too much ahead of him.

----------------------------------------------

"Sesshomaru, how are you going to take care of yourself when I die?" But before she said anything, she could sense a demon coming. "Identify yourself!"

"Kagura, the wind sorceress is my name now you identify yourself!" The shadow said coming around a tree.

"I am Insueka. What do you want with me? " Insueka said looking at the sorceress.

"Are you not the half-breed that keeps saying that you are Naraku's daughter?"

"Maybe I am or maybe I am not. Who wants to know?"

"I do."

"Why?"

"Because if you Naraku's daughter then that would make us sisters."

"What do you mean?"

"I am Naraku's daughter and so as for you." Insueka was overwhelmed by shock.

'But how could this be, Father.' She thought.

"So sister Father has called for you. If you want to see Father, come with me."

'Father, is this true.'

"So what is decision sister?"

"Insueka, don't it's a trap!" Inuyasha yelled. Insueka turned around and saw him.

"But I need to know if she is my sister."

"She is an incarnation of Naraku and nothing more!"

"So she is like Naraku's daughter." Insueka fell to her knees.

"Why do you look so shocked, Daughter?" Insueka turned and saw Naraku.

"Father, you're alive?" She started to cry.

"Yes, my Insueka. I am not dead."

"Father, Mother is alive!" Naraku looked shocked but shook quickly recovered from it.

"But how is that I saw her die. You lie Insueka."

"Have I ever lied you Father?"

"No, but how is your mother alive?"

"Father, I know this because she has written you a letter saying that she lost her memory to the illness and she is safe. Lord Sesshomaru is going to get her as we speak."

'Tasueka how is it that you lived?' Naraku thought.

"Mother was saved by Shinto. He knew that she was alive but did not wish to tell anyone because she had lost her memories." But then it became night and her hair turned black.

"I have almost forgotten your curse." He looked at his daughter with concern. Inuyasha was stunned at his expression.

"Father, I wanted to talk to you because I want you to stop your evil ways and return to mother." Insueka's voice was weak and Inuyasha noticed it.

"But your mother will hate me."

"I will never hate you, my love." Everyone turned around and saw a woman who had black hair, blue eyes and was wearing a night kimono. Sesshomaru was coming from behind her.

"Tasueka, you're alive."

"Mother….." Insueka fainted.

"Insueka, no!" Everyone said looking at Insueka. Sesshomaru ran over to her side. He picked her up.

"My castle is not to far away." Naraku said walking toward Inuyasha.

"Why are you looking at me for?"

"Inuyasha, it may seem odd but if you could hold your revenge until after Insueka dies. I must spend time with her and her mother." Inuyasha was shocked.

"Brother, do this for him and Insueka. This is what she wanted and I know that Naraku will not hurt Insueka."

"It sounds like you are going somewhere Lord Sesshomaru." Tasueka said looking at him.

"I am going to get your son, Shinta. After we arrive at Naraku's castle"

"Shinta, my younger son I have not seen him in years. I can't thank you enough Lord Sesshomaru for all your kindness."

"I am trying to make Insueka happy before she leaves this world."

"Sesshomaru, I will not so soon." Insueka said lying in his arms. "Inuyasha tell everyone I am going with my father and if you all want I know my Father will let you and your friends see me."

"I will, don't worry Insueka." She smiled at him then looked at her mother and father, they were talking but she did not know what they were talking about.

"Naraku may I say something?" Kagura asked looking at Insueka's mother with anger.

"What is it Kagura?"

"Do you think it is wise to let the half-breed and his friends come into the castle? I mean what if they were to attack the castle."

"Do you dare doubt my friends?" Insueka motioned Sesshomaru to put her to her feet.

"I really don't know you sister but if I were to guess right you would let your friends into the castle so that they could take back their jewel shard."

"I know that they would wish to do that but they would come to see me only."

"I pity you that you have to die."

"Hold your tongue sister unless you wish to die."

"Try me but I guarantee that you will have a quick death."

"Oh thank you for your concern of me dieing painfully." Kagura took out her fan and did her dragon wind attack. Insueka dodged all her attacks and took out her sword.

"Insueka, Kagura, stop this meaningless fight!" Naraku yelled. Tasueka grasped when Kagura attacked Insueka. They stopped but Kagura fell to the ground.

"I told you to shut up or I would have hurt you." Insueka smiled but the looked at her father. Kagura got to her feet slowly.

"Shut up Insueka. I will kill you one day."

"You wish to kill me like you killed my brother's pack!"

"Koga, how could that dumb wolf boy be your brother?" Kagura laughed.

"Insueka your brother is Shinto not this Koga." Her mother said after the shock.

"I will tell you something that will shock all of you like I was shocked when I saw his past. Shinto was attacked by the birds of paradise but before he was killed the real Koga saved his life. Koga took Shinto in as a brother and a good friend. But one day Koga was planning to attack the birds of paradise and Shinto went with him to fight. They were victorious but then the leader of the birds of paradise was planning on attacking Shinto but Koga risked his life in order to keep Shinto alive. Koga was rushed to the wolf den and he was dieing. So Shinto promised to take care of the wolf pack. So to encourage the wolf pack he changed his name to Koga and sense his is some what of a shape shifter he became a wolf demon." Everyone looked shocked.

"Like I would care if Shinto was Koga."

"Kagura you are going to piss me off with your god damned mouth."

"Oh so you are angry?"

"Shut up Kagura!" Insueka held her sword tightly.

"Kagura return to the castle." Naraku ordered.

"Yes, Master Naraku." She bowed then took a feather from her head and threw it in front of her. She was flying back to the castle. Insueka put her sword back in its sheath.

"Why did you stop me from killing that stupid Kagura?"

"You are weak my daughter and your sword can not transform for you tonight."

"Like I give crap about that."

"Kagura would have killed you."

"But she was pissing me off."

"Insueka what had happened to you. I mean you use to be so kind." Her mother thought.

"Talk to the villagers, Jiro, and Father."

"Who's this Jiro?"

"Jiro was my first love." Insueka turned away from everyone.

"What happened to him? Did he break up with you?"

"He was killed by the villagers three years ago." Sesshomaru said before Insueka said anything.

"Is that true, Insueka?"

"Yes, it is, the villagers killed him because he was a demon. They also wanted me dead after you died." Insueka's eyes were filled with hurt and anger.

"But I thought that they would accept you because you have protected them from anything."

"Time changes people." Everyone understands what Insueka was talking about.

"Insueka I feel bad that you had to leave the place you grew up in." Her mother said with such kindness.

"Oh mother!" She ran into her mother's arms and cried.

"My daughter, please forgive me for leaving you and everyone." A tear went down her face.

"I forgive you. But promise that you won't leave us again."

"I promise." Insueka smiled but then the jewel within her body attacked her. She was unconscious.

"Insueka?!" Her mother felt her not moving. Sesshomaru ran to her side.

"She has just fainted. She will be fine."

"We better get her to the castle." Tasueka said looking at Naraku.

"You are right, Lord Sesshomaru could you please carry her." Sesshomaru did that without hesitation.

"Inuyasha, do me a quick favor go get Shinta."

"OK but they might not let me in." Sesshomaru tossed a small piece of paper to Inuyasha.

"Give that to them and they will know I had sent you." Inuyasha nodded then went the way where his group was camping that night.

---------------------------------------------

"Inuyasha what took you so long? And where is Insueka?" Shippo said jumping onto Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Insueka is now with her mother, father, and Sesshomaru, and she is going to be ok with them. Sesshomaru asked me to get Shinta and bring him to Naraku's castle."

"Is that wise?" Miroku said looking at Inuyasha.

"Is what wise?"

"Going to Naraku's castle?"

"I don't know but I want to help Insueka."

"There is something that you are not telling us about Insueka." Sango said looking at the ground.

"Huh?" Everyone said but Inuyasha.

"OK she had the attack of her curse."

"No, it is something about Naraku."

"Naraku seemed different after Insueka turned human."

"What do you mean different?"

"He had a change of heart. I mean that Naraku was different like he looked concerned, sad, and happy."

"Now that's a laugh, Naraku looking concerned, sad, and happy?" Shippo said jumping off of Inuyasha's shoulder.

"But it's true he changed when he saw Insueka's mother."

"Maybe what Insueka said before about she could change her father's ways, was true." The monk said looking at his right hand.

"But how is he going to atone for all the lives he took." Sango said looking at Inuyasha.

"Well, I don't know but if Insueka changed his heart then she could possibly make him atone for his crimes." Inuyasha said in a low tone.

"So are you saying that we should keep him alive?" Shippo said looking at Inuyasha oddly.

"Well for the time being."

"OK this is not like you Inuyasha."

"I only want to help Insueka, sense she is the one my brother loves."

"OK when in hell did you start to have feelings for your brother Sesshomaru?"

"When he asked for me to forgive him for the things he did."

"OK now I heard it all." Miroku said looking confused.

"Well is it bad for brothers to forgive one another for the wrongness that they did to each other and become friends?" Kagome said looking at Miroku.

"…………"

"I better go get Shinta before Sesshomaru does kill me." Inuyasha ran off.

---------------------------------------------

Naraku, Tasueka, and Sesshomaru were sitting around Insueka. Insueka was lying in a bed. Insueka woke up.

"Insueka you should get some sleep." Her mother said as Insueka was getting to her knees.

"I am fine. Don't worry." She got to her feet.

"Your mother is right, you should get some sleep." Naraku said looking at Insueka.

"I am fine."

"But…"

"I think that Insueka will be fine." Sesshomaru interrupted Tasueka. Insueka looked at Sesshomaru and motioned him to follow her. He got to his feet and started out the room door. Tasueka and Naraku looked at each other for a moment.

-------------------------------

"Sesshomaru thank you for getting me out of that mess." Insueka looked back at him.

"I was getting a little sick of your parents saying that you need to sleep." Insueka laughed.

"Well above them from being annoyingly concerned they are like they use to be they both are the best parents any child could ask for. But ten years have passed on them."

"I am not getting what you are saying."

"My parents were always like that and kind. I just sometimes wonder what would happen if my mother never really did get hurt, my father never leaving, and Shinto never becoming Koga." She looked away.

"I would have never met you." Insueka turned to look at him. Sesshomaru was staring back at her.

"I suppose you are right." Insueka turned her head and looking forward.

"Insueka, I want to show you something. It would mean that we would have to leave the castle for a bit." She turned to Sesshomaru trying not to smile.

"And what do you wish to show me?" She said mockingly.

"Just come with me and I will show you."

"Alright you win." As soon as she said that Sesshomaru grabbed her hand and jumped on top of one of the room's roof and jumped down on the other side.

-------------------------------------

By then Tasueka came out and saw them before they left. She was smiling as she was shaking her head. "My daughter is deeply in love with him. I wish that I could tell her another thing about her curse but if I do the curse will never leave her body." She sighed.

"Tasueka what is wrong, my love?"

"Nothing Naraku, nothing."

---------------------------------

Sesshomaru held Insueka's hand and brought her to a beautiful waterfall.

"Wow!" Insueka's voice was a carried away with the wind. The angle that they were at they saw the water sparkling and Insueka thought that it was weird because there was not moonlight.

"I came here a lot to think of things, I thought that this was the best place to think because behind the waterfall is a cavern." But then out of nowhere it started to rain. Sesshomaru grabbed Insueka's arm and led her in side the cavern.

"Where the heck did that come? I am soaked!" Insueka exclaimed as she was ringing out her clothes.

"I don't know but you're not the only one soaked." Insueka was trying to fix her hair. She looked up at him, with his hair soaked his bangs fell straight on his face and his clothes formed his strong body. Insueka had a hard time looking away. And she also found it hard to breathe.

"So what at are we going to do? I mean clothes wise."

"I could go to the castle and get you your clothes but I do not wish to leave you here."

"Why I will be ok?" She saw Sesshomaru frown.

"What if you were to have an attack?"

"Oh that!" Insueka laughed. "So what are we doing to do?"

"We could just wait till the rain stops."

"Good idea." But the rain fell harder and the wind was picking up. "Or not." Insueka and Sesshomaru sighed.

"Insueka what would you do if you didn't have to die?"

"You want to know?"

"Yes."

"Well I do something every woman would do, I would like to be a mother, and a good wife to the one I was meant to be with." Insueka laughed a thought.

"What is so funny?"

"Nothing I was just thinking of something I could never have."

"A child or marring to one you love."

"Both actually, another thing I was to do if I didn't have to die."

"Hum?"

"I wish to……."

"You wish to what?"

"I wish to be with you." Insueka turned around.

"But either way if you were to die or not, you would never have to wish to be with me." Sesshomaru said kindly.

"But….." Sesshomaru grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her to look at him. She was crying silently.

"Insueka I will always be with you even in death."

"I know but I want you to promise me that you will go on with life after I die."

"I promise but you would have to visit me." Insueka laughed.

"I promise." She smiled. Sesshomaru pulled her close to him. She looked up at him but then looked away sadly. "You do know that I will love you forever?"

"I know Insueka, I know. And I will always love you." She looked down and noticed that his sword was missing.

"Sesshomaru what happened to your tenseiga?"

"The other lords took it away from me until years after your death."

"Why is that?"

"They do not want me to revive you."

"So they do not have a liking for me?" Insueka sounded sad.

"I would have to say yes. But if I were to take you as my… never mind." He looked away.

"If you were to take me as your mate then they will accept me."

"Forgive me for bringing it up."

"If you think that it bothers me it doesn't, because…that is what I want." Sesshomaru looked at her shockingly. "And I do not deny any words I said."

"Insueka, if that is what you want terribly then stay with me." He said with kind eyes.

"Sesshomaru you know that I want that but I can't, I just can't." She said crying.

"Insueka you are the first and only person to make me feel like this. I do not want to lose you." He held her even closer.

"Sesshomaru let me do this, maybe I will come back." Sesshomaru let go of her.

"The rain has stopped; I should take you back to Naraku's castle. Probably Shinta is there." He said walking toward the entrance.

"Sesshomaru, please do not change the subject."

"Shinta may worry about where you are at."

"Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru's back was turned so that Insueka could not see the hurt in his eyes.

"Insueka…. never mind."

"Sesshomaru please talk to me. Don't shut me out."

"I am not shutting you out; it is just that in…never mind."

"Just that in what?" he said nothing but he turned to face her. They starred into each others eyes. Insueka saw something in Sesshomaru's eyes, a desire for her, but she could be wrong.

"Insueka if only you had more time to live." He whispered. Insueka looked at him confusingly.

"Why?" He was trying hard to fight back the hurt in his eyes. "I meant why do I need more time, when we met I had two months?" Sesshomaru pulled her toward him.

"Then, I was too scared to get close to you but now all I want is you." He confessed softly.

"Sesshomaru, I don't know what to say." He pulled her closer to him and kissed her. But after awhile he pulled away from her. They both hard a hard time breathing, everything was fuzzy.

"We must get back before everyone starts to worry." Insueka said taking deep breaths.

"You're right, we should." Sesshomaru said leading her out of the waterfall cave

-------------------------------------

"Where the heck are they?" Inuyasha said walking around.

"I heard that Lord Sesshomaru was going to take Insueka somewhere but that was right after you left." Rin said starting to worry.

"Don't worry Insueka and Sesshomaru are alright." Shinta said trying not to laugh.

"Hi Shinta, I'm back." A voice said behind everyone. Shinta turned around and saw Insueka.

"Insueka, I missed you. Guess who I brought."

"Who did you bring?"

"Meow." Insueka saw Kila running toward her.

"Kila I have been looking all over for you." She hugged her three tailed cat. But then she sneezed.

"Insueka are you ok?"

"Yes, mother I am alright." She sneezed again.

"I hope you are not catching a cold."

"Mother I am fine." She sneezed again and again.

"Insueka are you….."

"Mother I am fine!"

"But…."

"Mother I have taken great care of my self, so don't worry."

"Insueka I am just worried about you."

"MOTHER I AM FINE SO DON'T WORRY!"

"Insueka your mother is only worried about you're safely and she is just a concerned mother."

"I know father but still if I say that I am fine, I mean it. And when you start to worry about me? You left Shinta and me in that inn for ten years!"

"Sister, please stop fighting with father!" Shinta yelled.

"Please forgive me. I am just tried. So if you would please excuse me I am going to bed."

"Good night, sister."

"Sleep well Insueka."

"Good night to you Shinta. You also sleep well Sesshomaru." She walked out of the room. Tasueka looked at Naraku and then walked out. Inuyasha and the others came into the room. Everyone sat down and looked at Naraku.

"Inuyasha please stay close to Insueka's side. I have to go back to the kingdom and try to get my tenseiga." Sesshomaru was almost out the door but Inuyasha's voice stopped him.

"Hey Sess, why don't you have your sword?"

"The other lords took it from me sense one of my guards told them he saw Insueka and I together. The other lords took what he said the wrong way so they sealed my sword away."

"Are they allowed to do that?"

"They are wiser lords then I am, so yes they can do that."

"But it isn't right to take away something that hold great importance to someone."

"Inuyasha, you're starting to sound like Father." Sesshomaru laughed and walked away.

"Lord Sesshomaru, leaving so soon?" He turned and saw Tasueka.

"Yes, I have a lot work to do and so little time."

"Sesshomaru you know that Insueka will die in less than five days."

"Yes, I know I will be here on the night before she is to die." Sesshomaru left without another word.
