Ch 65
"What a way to greet me after all these years, I see the palace is still the same, where's dad, that's right he left you for a human." he said and laughed at her. "But to answer your question I am here to take my rightful place as Lord of the western lands, I am the older twin." he says.
"You better be used to disappointment, because your brother is doing a hell of a job. He even has a family already. And what about you Mamoru? Being lazy as usual?" Mira said, smirking.
"I know all about Sesshoumaru's little family he even took in a priest, no mom I have my own palace I heard Dad's palace was burned down by a spider demon, I would have loved to have seen that."Mamoru says.
"That is why you were sent away you're pure evil and I will do everything in my power to keep you from harming Sesshoumaru and his family." Mira tells him.
Mamoru smirked and said, "You can't stop me, mother. You're weak when it comes to your children."
Mira growled at him she was going to have to travel to Inutashio and warn him, then she knew once she did that it would be a big argument on why her, Sesshoumaru and Inutashio kept Mamoru a secret.
"Then why are you telling me your plans?"she asks him.
"Just want to see what you will do , I assume you protect that hanyou as well." he says as he runs his hand through his hair.
Mira smirked again and said, "Yes, I am." She know that those words would annoy him, since he hated hanyous more than she did.
Mamoru growled at her, "That is fine it will make it more fun to destroy you all, I must go I have someone I need to meet." he said as he walked toward her. "You're going to grow to hate this face, you'll wish you never sent me away." he says as he forms his demon cloud and leaves her.
Mira growled low in her chest. She made sure Mamoru was gone before changing to her demon form and running off to find Inutaisho and tell him their son has returned.
Naraku was sitting in his study as he looked out the window at Hakudoshi practicing his fighting skills with Byakuya.
Kohaku came into the room with a tray carrying tea with some cookies on it. "Naraku I thought you might be hungry." he says as he sits the tray on the desk. Naraku turned his head to glare at Kohaku. "Can't you forgive me, I said I was sorry." he says to Naraku.
"You told my daughter that she meant nothing, Kohaku! Would you forgive the person who said Hakudoshi was nothing?" Naraku growled, looking down at the papers again and starting to write, anger in the move of his wrist.
"I would eventually Naraku, what was I to think, I thought you were off making love to him and forgot all about us!, I am so sorry I said that to Akito I know she means the world to you, I'll do anything to make it up to you, I'll work hard to find the last shard Naraku, please don't hate me, I hate that you only speak to me if Haku is around." he says
Naraku set his quill pen down and looked at Kohaku. "You're useless when it comes to shard hunting, all you're good for is keeping my bed warm." Naraku tells him.
Kohaku's eyes widened before he narrowed them at him. "You bastard!" he yelled, grabbing the tray of tea and throwing it against the wall before storming out of the room, slamming the door closed behind him.
Naraku looked at the broken cup the tray on the floor, he would have Kagura clean it up. "Least he didn't sit me." he says as he stands up and walks over to the window.
Mamoru made his way to the Eastern lands he needed the perfect allies to help him in his plan.
Kohaku was grumbling to himself as he stormed through the halls and yelled, "And by the way Naraku...SIT!" He heard a resounding crash and then smirked, continuing down the hallway.
"Why do I even bother?" he growled as he slowly pulled himself off the floor.
The guards rushed into the study. "Master Lord Sesshoumaru is here he's heading for the gates what should we do?!" they ask him not knowing it was Sesshoumaru's twin.
Naraku smirked and said, "I'll come out and meet him personally. Lord knows what he wants."
The guards bowed there head as Naraku walked passed them and walked outside he blinked his eyes when he saw that this wasn't Sesshoumaru at all. "Lord Naraku nice to meet you." Mamoru says to him with a grin on his face.
"Who are you?" Naraku asked, walking up to him. "And how did you find this place?" he added when he was a few feet from Mamoru.
" I am Mamoru, Lord Sesshoumaru's twin, by the look on your face you never heard of me, I know a lot of things about you, I know how my brother has taken your beloved mate and child from you, how he has foiled all your plans." he tells him.
Naraku growled low in his chest and said, "If you know all of that, then why are you here?"
"To help you of course you want your mate back and I want my brother and parents dead." Mamoru says to him.
" You want Sesshoumaru dead?" Naraku asked him.
"Yes by right the western lands belong to me, but because I tried to kill Sesshoumaru when we were pups I was sent away." he says shrugging his shoulders.
Naraku chuckled and said, "Too bad you didn't succeed."
"Exactly and now is the perfect time, Sesshoumaru's son will inherit everything and I can't allow that, my mother knowing her she is running to my father as we speak, So if you help me I'll help you Naraku, I can do things Sesshoumaru can't for instance,." he says and his hair turns pure white like Sesshoumaru's his moon turns purple as well.
Naraku smirked and said, "You can look exactly like your brother. Excellent."
"Yes I can, I might have to get white clothes but I can fool them, his mate won't know the difference neither will his kids or your mate." Mamoru says to him.
"Very well, We will help each other but no harm is to come to Keski and Akito." Naraku tells him
"Understood," Mamoru said as he changed his hair and mark back. Naraku smirked and turned around, beckoning him to the castle as he walked towards the palace.
Naraku walked back inside to hear Kohaku talking to Kagura. "I hate him Kagura why didn't I listen to my father when I was 15, he let me know where I stand I am just good to keep his bed warm, maybe I'll take Haku and leave like Keski did." he says to her.
"Kohaku I don't advise that, Naraku is already angry with you as it is." She tells him.
"It doesn't matter anymore," Kohaku said, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the wall.
"Kohaku, my suggestion is to get back on his good side and never bring this up again," Kagura said.
"For once you have a good suggestion, Kagura," Naraku said, walking into the room.
Kohaku looked at Naraku his eyes widened when he saw Mamoru, "Sesshoumaru what are you doing here, what the heck is up with the hair, you look all evil." Kohaku says to him.
"You'll have to excuse him, he's a human after all.'Naraku says to him. "This is Mamoru, Sesshoumaru's twin brother."
"What? I didn't know he had a twin," Kohaku said, looking at Mamoru.
"A lot of people don't know," Mamoru said, smirking.
"Why is he here?" Kohaku asks.
"He and I are going to help each other out and you're going to behave yourself and get a room ready for our guest." Naraku says to him.
"You're going after Sesshoumaru , you can't Naraku he has a baby last time my own parents and brother barely got out alive!" Kohaku yells at him.
"Like I care about his spawn. And I'm only going for Keski and Akito, Mamoru can take care of Sesshoumaru and his family. Besides, I promised Keski I'd leave Sesshoumaru's family in one piece, and I will. I have no control over Mamoru, however," Naraku said, smirking, as he looked over at the dog demon.
"You can't do this to him, he's your brother that's your nephew and niece." Kohaku tells him. Mamoru smirked back, "You sure he's your mate, humans really are good for only two things," Mamoru says.
"Yeah and whats' that?!" Kohaku growled.
"Slaves, and food." Mamoru tells him.
"There is no way you're Sesshoumaru's brother, he's nothing like you, he doesn't hate humans and how can you join up with him when your mates are both humans and your kids are half human , Naraku!"
"It doesn't matter to me what he thinks, all I want is my mate and daughter," Naraku said, shrugging.
Kohaku glared at him and pushed pass Naraku and Mamoru and walked outside to be with Hakudoshi.
"Don't worry about Kohaku he always comes around, now I have never been in the castle I really know nothing of it, I do know, Sesshoumaru's study is near the garden." Naraku tells him.
"I modeled my own home to look exactly like his, to be honest," Mamoru said, chuckling.
"Hmm well then you won't have any problems, but once Sesshoumaru finds out you're around he's sure to double his guards." Naraku tells him.
"Don't worry I can change my appearance to fool the guards, though I love to see the look on my brother's faces and dad when they find out I'm back." he says as he walks pass Kagura to look around the castle.
"Naraku why are you making Kohaku suffer like this, he gave up his family for you." she says.
"He needs to learn his place, that's why. It's none of your concern. Kohaku left a mess in my study, make yourself useful and go clean it up," Naraku growled.
"It is my concern when he feels like he just a sex object to you, I like Keski too, but he left you and Kohaku stayed through everything he was even going to raise Akito when you were ready to kill Keski, he gave you, your son, how can he not get jealous when he's thought of as second best by everyone he didn't ask to be the reincarnation, he loves you he helped you in all your schemes." Kagura tells him.
"Kagura, I am not discussing this with you. Get out of my sight," Naraku said, glaring at her. "You'll learn someday that you don't know what you have until you've lost it all," Kagura said, walking past him and pushing him with her shoulder as she headed to the study.
Mira finally got to Inutashio's castle the guards jumped when they saw the giant dog. Mira changed back to her human form."Let me in now it's urgent I speak to Inutashio!" she tells them, The guards opened the gates and let Mira in. The main door was opened and she walked into the palace she could hear Inuyasha whinning about wanting another sword since Sesshoumaru now had two.
"Shut up Inuyasha! Your sword is fine!" Inutaisho said, trying to get some work done. Mira ran into the room, her breathing labored. "Inutaisho, I must talk to you, alone," she said.
"What the hell?!" Inuyasha growled
"Mira what has Sesshoumaru done this time?" Inutashio asked her.
"I will tell you once we're alone." Mira tells him as she walks over to the desk and sits in the chair in front of it.
"Inuyasha leave and if you go to Totosai I will take the new sword and break it into." his father warn him.
"Fine!" Inuyasha huffs and walks out the room closing the door behind him.
"Now what is on your mind, Mira?" Inutaisho said, looking at his ex-mate.
"Mamoru has returned," Mira said.
Inutashio dropped the pen on his desk , the great dog demon's face went pale. "What did you say, he can't be back we banished him, you sure Sesshoumaru wasn't playing a trick on you?' he asked her.
"I know my sons!, he came to my palace he knocked me off the bench he knew things that no one would know unless they were here the past couple of years, he knows about Keski, he knows about how Sesshoumaru adores him, he knows about Inuyasha he said he wants to take what belongs to him he wants to destroy us,his powers have grown." she says
Inutaisho growled and said, "Mira, you are moving your belongings here, I'm not risking you. I will go warn Sesshoumaru."
"And what are you going to tell Izayoi when I move in here, we have to tell them, this secret has to be told we have grandchildren now, Mamoru will kill them, and then there is Inuyasha he hates hanyous, maybe we should have sent Sesshoumaru away when he was a pup. " I thought Naraku was trouble but Mamoru is ten times worse he has nothing to lose." she says.
"I will not let him get close to my family, Mira. And we will explain it to them. But we were right in sending Mamoru away. He was nothing but trouble. He should never have come back," Inutaisho said, growling low in his chest.
"Well he's back now, I don't know where he went he just told me I will grow to hate his face, you go and tell Sesshoumaru, I'll stay here till you get back, I have a feeling you and Sesshoumaru are going to be sleeping on the couch." Mira tells him as she stands up.
"Izayoi isn't evil like Kagome. she's a delicate flower." Inutashio tells her and grabs his sword ."Come on let's go, I'll just tell Izayoi I'll explain when I get back." Inutashio tells him
Mira nodded and walked out of the study with him. They found Izayoi in the drawing room, sitting in the window seat and sewing. "Izayoi, I have to go find Sesshoumaru," Inutaisho said.
"Oh okay, Inuyasha went to go see Shiori he was upset about not having another sword." she says with a smile and sees Mira. "Mira what are you doing here?" she asks.
"I thought I check in on you all, I'll keep you company till he returns we can catch up on girl talk." she says.
Inutashio walked over to Izayoi and kisses her on the lips. "Be back soon and when Inuyasha returns tell him he's grounded." he says and leaves the palace.
Izayoi laughed as he left and said, "He's such a good father."
"Yes, he is," Mira said, walking over and sitting down next to her.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome were trying to relax when they heard a crash in the hallway
. "You did it, daddy going to get you!" Soran said as he pointed at Akito who had broken the crystal vase.
Keski came out the kitchen to see the mess. "What did you two do?" he asked them.
"We didn't mean it mommy." Akito says to him
"You two go and sit down while I clean this up."Keski tells them.
Soran giggled and ran down the hall. "Daddy a big fluff ball." he yells out.
Sesshoumaru was going to say something when Kagome laughed and silenced him. "Just relax, Sess. Keski can handle them," she said, smiling.
Sesshoumaru nodded his head and rested his head back on the pillow. Keski cleaned up the mess and brought out some cookies and milk he walked into the room to see Shippo in Akito's lap.
"Where have you been hiding?" Keski asked as he placed the plate of cookies on the table.
"I was training so I can protect you and Akito." Shippo tells him.
"That's sweet of you."Keski says and sits down on the sofa.
Inutashio ran till he got to Sesshoumaru's palace he didn't bother with the guards he leaped over the gate and busted the doors down."Sesshoumaru!" he bellowed as he walked in the palace.
Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "Can't we get a relaxing day?"
Kagome giggled and said, "Alright, your father we can't ignore. Let's go." They walked out of their room and down the stairs.
"What is the matter now, father?" Sesshoumaru asked as they reached the bottom.
Soran and Akito jumped off the sofa and ran over to Inutashio. "Grand pop!"They both yelled. "Hey you two, Sesshoumaru I need to talk to you now it's important." he says as he walks toward the study.
"I'll be back." Sesshoumaru tells Kagome and follows his father into the study and closes the door behind him.
"What is it now, what so important that you had to ruin my quite time?" he asks.
"Your brother is back," Inutaisho said in a hushed voice.
"What!?" Sesshoumaru yelled.
"Keep your voice down!" Inutaisho hissed.
"I can't keep it down I have to tell Kagome, and Keski.
"They're both going to kill me, I don't who to be more afraid of." Sesshoumaru says to him. "Look your mom is at my palace, Mamoru came to her and told her he was going to make us all pay, I am going to move her into the palace when I get back and when Inuyasha comes back he is grounded it will keep him in the palace where I can keep an eye on him." Inutashio tells him.
"Good. I'll keep Keski and my family here, so that neither Mamoru nor Naraku can have a chance at them," Sesshoumaru said.
"That's another thing , Mamoru knows about Keski, you might have to go to Naraku for help." Inutashio says to him.
"That will never happen, he'll want me to hand Keski and Akito over to him." Sesshoumaru says.
"Okay I will leave that to you now you can tell your two mates I might as well say , I am going back to tell Izayoi and wait for Mamoru to make the first move."
