"Keski isn't my mate," Sesshoumaru said as his father left the study.
"Might as well be," Inutaisho said to himself as he walked down the hallway and to the front doors of the palace.
"Goodnight Kagome, Keski." Inutashio says to them and leaves. Sesshoumaru walked out the study and slowly up to Keski and Kagome.
"What was that all about?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru was glad he kids were in the room, he wouldn't die a painful death.
"It's about my parents and me, see I've keeping something from you Kagome, Inuyasha isn't my only sibling, I have another brother a twin." he says.
"WHAT!?" Kagome screeched, her eyes widening.
Sesshoumaru sighed and said, "Yes. His name is Mamoru, and I want you to be careful. I don't want any of you leaving the castle farther than the gardens."
"A twin and you never told me about it!" Kagome yelled at him.
"I didn't think it was important he was sent away when we were younger so I saw no need to, but he's returned and he hates my parents and me and he will stop at nothing to hurt all of you, so Naraku is not the only problem, now." he says.
"He looks exactly like you?" Keski asked. "No he has bluish silver hair, he has a red pelt, and a red moon." Sesshoumaru tells him.
"Well, what if he finds some way to impose as you?" Kagome asked.
"That's why I'm staying here," Sesshoumaru said.
Keski sighed as he looked at Akito. "Maybe I should have left with Naraku he would make sure Akito is safe." he says.
"I am here Keski , I will not let my crazed brother near you or Akito, you don't need Naraku, now I want you all to go back to life as it was before my dad told me this and Akito did Soran really break the vase and put the blame on you?" Sesshoumaru asks her as he looks at his son.
Akito looked between Soran and Sesshoumaru. When she saw the look in Soran's eyes she sighed and said, "I broke it, daddy. I'm sorry."
Sesshoumaru walked over to the two and looked a t Soran. "It's okay Akito just be careful and I heard the remark that I am a big fluff ball." he says to him.
"But mommy and Keski says you're." Soran says to him.
"Would you two stop making my image go down, I am the Lord of the west." he says to Kagome and Keski.
"Well Lord of the west go double the guards."Kagome tells him as Rin comes down.
"See you guys later I am going to the village." Rin tells them.
"No you aren't," Sesshoumaru said.
"Why? I need more fabric for my clothes," Rin said, since she had learned to tailor her own clothing.
"Because your father has a twin brother he didn't tell us about," Kagome said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I didn't think it was important, he's evil and if you need fabric we have a seamstress here Rin, so who is the boy, tell me so I can cut his valuable parts off." Sesshoumaru says to her.
"There is no one daddy, so how bad is this brother?" Rin asks.
"He's power hungry he's going to try and get the palace from me so we're staying here no one leaves the palace grounds, and if you sneak out you're going in the dungeon." Sesshoumaru tells all of them.
"That's a little drastic, don't you think?" Kagome asked, walking over and placing a hand on Rin's shoulder as she looked at him.
"If you knew Mamoru, you wouldn't think so," Sesshoumaru said.
"This is your fault for not telling us about him!" Kagome yelled at him.
"He was banished when we were about 4." Sesshoumaru says to her.
"What did he do at 4?" Keski asked.
"He tried to kill me, he didn't care that our parents were right in front of us, he cares for no one, he hates humans, I am not going to go into what he thinks humans are good for, just that it's not good, I don't know where he is now or what he's planning." So we have to be on our guard."
Kagome sighed and said, "They should have just drowned him."
"Mom!" Rin said, looking at her mother, shocked.
"Sorry," Kagome said, kissing the top of her head. "Well, we're going to go crazy having to stay in this place all the time Sesshoumaru," she said, looking at her mate.
"What no we won't Keski can teach you how to cook, I can be with my babies and teach them how to use swords and Keski can teach Akito how use her miko powers." Sesshoumaru says.
"You're going to kill us, Kagome can't cook." Shippo says as he bites into a cookie.
Keski chuckled and picked up the fox before Kagome hurt him. "Shippo that's not nice, Kagome can learn and Sesshoumaru won't mind being the taste tester." he adds.
Kagome smirked and said, "Sounds good to me. Let's get started Keski." She left no room for Sesshoumaru to object as she took Keski's hand and practically dragged his laughing form to the kitchen.,
Sesshoumaru cringed as how many meals Kagome was going to have him taste he walked over to the sofa and sat down. "How are you doing Akito?" Sesshoumaru asked her.
"I'm fine daddy, now I know where I get my red eyes from." Akito tells him.
"Yeah your father has them eyes as does one of his servants." Sesshoumaru tells her
. "I saw her she was looking at you today in the field." Akito says.
"She's asked me to help her in the past. I can't do anything for her until...never mind, you don't need to know about that," Sesshoumaru said, giving her a smile as he pulled her onto his lap.
Akito looked at Sesshoumaru and smirked, he did a double take when he recognized that smirk. He sneered seeing it. That was Naraku's smirk all over.
"Keski get in here now!" Sesshoumaru yelled as he stood up with Akito still in his arms. Keski walked out from the kitchen. "Sesshoumaru what is wrong with you?" he asks.
"Look at her face tell me where you've seen that look before."
Keski looked at Akito and her expression. "Yes, she looks like Naraku. She is his child, too, Sess. She's bound to have some of his looks," Keski said, taking Akito into his arms, looking at Sesshoumaru as if he were crazy.
"Not that look, that look always means trouble." Sesshoumaru tells him. Keski kissed Akito atop her head.
"Mommy what's wrong with daddy?' Akito asked.
"He needs some sleep, come help me teach Aunt Kagome to bake." Keski says to her and walks out the room. .
"Damn spiders ruining my life." he says.
"Oooh you cursed." Soran says to him.
"Yes, and it's a word you shouldn't repeat until you're old enough," Sesshoumaru said, gently poking his son's nose. Soran giggled and grabbed Sesshoumaru's finger as he pulled it away.
"That's your way of keeping him from telling Mom on you?" Rin asks.
"Why are you in here, shouldn't you be working on your dresses or learning how to cook too?" Sesshoumaru asked her.
"Are you saying I can't cook?" Rin asks him.
" You got that from your mom's side." Sesshoumaru says to her as Soran held onto his finger.
Rin rolled her eyes and said, "Please send someone for more fabric." She didn't wait for a reply and just went back up the steps. A door could faintly be heard closing as she went into her room.
Inutashio had told Izayoi about his deviant son and Inuyasha wasn't too happy to learn there was a crazed brother walking around or that he was grounded.
Mira sipped her tea as she looked outside. "Where do you think he is at this moment Inutashio?" she asked.
"I don't know it's unnerving knowing he could strike when we least expect it." he says.
"Why the hell didn't you two tell us about it!?" Inuyasha yelled.
"Because we didn't think he'd be a problem, that's why," Inutaisho said as he walked over and sat down by Izayoi. Inuyasha sighed and said,
"So now I can't go see Shiori?"
"I don't think so. It's either that or bring her here. I don't think her parents would be happy with that, though," Inutaisho said.
"Yeah I figured that so who's his targets?" Inuyasha asks.
" You, your brother and his two families, your mother, I don't think he's going to hurt you Mira he would have done so when he was at the palace." Inutashio says to her.
"He's sneaky, even as a pup he was sneaky, Sesshoumaru was so cute and quite he use to cuddle up to me, while Mamoru would play by himself." she says.
"So how can you tell them apart again?" Izayoi asks,
"Sesshoumaru has silver hair and the while pelt, Mamoru has bluish sliver hair red pelt and a red moon." Inutashio says.
Izayoi nodded and said, "So, assuming Sesshoumaru is going to stay at his palace, if we get a Sesshoumaru here then it's Mamoru, correct?"
"Yes," Inutaisho said, kissing her forehead.
"Anymore secrets you keeping from us old man?" Inuyasha asked.
"No ." Inutashio tells him.
"Okay well I am going to bed and I hope you end this soon." Inuyasha says to his father and leaves the room. Mira sighed.
"I think I'll go to bed too, thanks for letting me stay here." Mira tells them and leaves the room.
The next morning Inutaisho awoke and saw Izayoi was still in his arms, sound asleep. He smiled to himself and kissed her forehead gently so he wouldn't wake her before getting out of bed and getting dressed, walking down the stairs.
"Morning master. "One of the guards said to him.
"Morning any news on my son?" Inutashio asked.
"No master, nor has anyone in the other lands seen him, it's like he's vanished." the guard tells him.
"I see and where is Inuyasha?" Inutashio asks.
"He's in the dojo with his sword, something about stupid brothers." he says
Inutaisho sighed and said, "Alright. Thank you, you may return to your post."
"Yes, sir," the guard said, bowing before he left the room.
Mamoru walked into the kitchen of Naraku's castle and so Kohaku and smirked. "So you cook too?" he asks him. Kohaku jumped and manged to catch Naraku's favorite plate before it broke. "Don't sneak up on me!" he yelled at him.
"Is the little human scared?" Mamoru asks.
