AUTHORS NOTE: Sorry for the long wait. Life has been a cruel beast... Anyways enjoy!
No it couldn't be…could it? Tasuki?
He couldn't believe that the moon goddess had appeared before him in that blazing light. He sat guarding her. Soon the night gave way to day and she finally stirred. As he stared at her in the daylight he saw the same moonbeam-sun kissed hair, the same graceful long limbs, and the same lips. It was her eyes, however, that caused him to question his memory. They were not the same; this woman's eyes were like a sunset, while his Goddess's eyes were like starlight. His dark eyes followed her every movement as she sat up and looked around. It appeared that she had no idea where she was, like she was confused.
Slowly she got up and walked into the forest. Silently, he followed, masking his aura and scent in case she takes notice of him. He would find out who this impersonator was and when he did he would present her head on a platter for his goddess' pleasure. His armies and plan could wait.
It was nearing dark again. And they were coming up on a hot spring; there was someone already present there. The aura strong and somewhat familiar. Suddenly he recognized the signature; it was one of HIS pups. The one that stole his goddess away from him. One of the two he was planning on destroying, they will pay for the sins of their father. This was his chance to rid the world of one of them. He snagged the imposter's braid on a tree branch and prepared to attack. Only the woman had managed to quickly rid herself of the branch and was now enthralled with the male in front of her. He held off his attack as he noticed Sesshomaru instantly becoming drawn to her. It was against his honor to attack when a female was present. If only that damnable branch had hung onto her. So again he took up the role of just watching.
He followed them as they went back to Sesshomaru's camp. Upon arrival, he discovered his other quarry, the Hanyo.
This is going to be easier than I thought….
Then he noticed the rest of the camps occupants, and became morose in finding the brothers were not alone. He watched them talk; waited as they attempted to get the girls memory back. Then he saw the crescent symbol.
No, she belongs to him too! How is that possible?!
His mind was racing, trying to put together all the details of this look-alike, the symbol, and what it could mean. Then it hit him…..
She's their daughter… She belongs to my goddess and that...that…
A low growl started to form deep in his chest at the thought that his goddess stooped to bedding that demon slime. She was meant to be HIS mate, no one else's. The Sun and Moon together, always.
He turned back to the camp as a flutter of activity sprung up in the camp. It appeared everyone was packing and there was no sign of the eldest male and the girl that should have been his daughter.
I'll just have to follow the rest of them to see where they went.
He paced back and forth in front of the barrier that concealed his prize from him. It has been over a week and still there was no sign of the woman or the rest of them. He was growing impatient and frustrated. He needed to get back to his armies and his planning. He'll take down the Inu brothers and take their sister as compensation for her mother's refusal of him.
Ginning wickedly at his new plan, he created a golem that will notify him of any changes and left.
He would rid the world of the Kami's mistakes and the human population will flourish and name him King of the Kamis.
