~Mizuki~

As we got closer to the palace, I started to get nervous. Was I nervous for Rin or was I nervous for myself? I looked at InuTaisho who was playing patty cake with Rin. She looked so happy. I turned and stared out the window, looking at the buildings. I felt a pup kick, they hadn't kicked all day. I guess they had just been sleeping. I also had to remind Sesshomaru of the babies on the way. I sighed and looked down at my hands.

"Mizuki it will be alright, for now. I wish for you and Rin to stay at the palace. Maybe having you two around will bring back some part of his memory. "The emperor said. I smiled, the limo entered the drive way and drove up to the door. A man dressed in black opened the door and held out his hand to me. I kindly grabbed it as he helped me out the car followed by the Emperor and Rin. As we walked into the palace Kagura and Sesshomaru were standing in the foyer. Both wearing displeasing looks on their faces. Rin ran up to Sesshomaru and hugged his legs; he was stunted as was I. He stared down at her for a while and before I knew it she was laying on the floor holding her stomach. He had kicked her off of him! She started to cry as she crawled over to me, Emperor InuTaisho picked her up and soothed her. I could feel my demon starting to come out, my claws growing as well as my fangs.

"Mizuki no… it's not worth it." InuTaisho placed his hand on my shoulder. Rin was still crying into his shoulder. I looked at Sesshomaru, who was staring at Rin and then he turned his gaze to my stomach. Maybe he remembered something about her.

"Sesshomaru, do you remember us?" I asked. Kagura stepped forward.

"Of course he wouldn't, he never associates himself with the likes of you!" she snapped. I wanted so bad to just jump on her and choke her to death, but I know the emperor would not allow it.

"Kagura… do see that you show Mizuki respect as well as Rin. If you fail to do so then I shall have you leave. Understand?" InuTaisho growled. Kagura nodded. Sesshomaru stepped forward to meet his father's gaze.

"Father you cannot tell Kagura what she must and mustn't do; besides you allow these pathetic worthless people in here?" Sesshomaru stated. The emperor was becoming annoyed with this but he simply chuckled and placed his head down on Rin's.

"Sesshomaru, do you not see Kagura is after the throne? That's all she wants. If you marry her, you will not inherit the throne and I will pass it on to your brother." He replied. Sesshomaru frowned at this even more.

"Father the fact that you have to lie about my fiancé to me, is pathetic. Considering what that stupid bitch did to you!" he hissed. InuTaisho had Sesshomaru pinned to the wall by his neck still holding Rin in his arm. His eyes red and his marks jagged.

"YOU WILL NOT DISRESPECT IZAYOI! YOUR OLD SELF DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HER AT ALL. BUT SINCE YOU'VE LOST YOUR MEMORY YOU HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN!" the emperor growled. He then backed down and released his grip from around Sesshomaru's neck. "Get out of my sight…. Mizuki come with me." He ordered. After what happened I was somewhat afraid to go with him but I did as he asked and followed.

~Sesshomaru~

After that little encounter with father, I simply kept my distance from him as well as those two girls. When Rin ran up and hugged my legs, I felt something going through my body. Compassion? No never! I Sesshomaru never show compassion especially to some human girl. I kicked her in the stomach, I felt guilty afterwards. I tapped my pen repeatedly on my desk, looking out the window in the garden. The girl named Mizuki was sitting down, against a tree. Rin was lying across her lap, her ear against Mizuki's stomach. She giggled once in a while. I noticed Mizuki had a bulge on her stomach as if she was at least 4 months pregnant. Wait…. Didn't that woman say she was having my child? I rested back in my chair and closed my eyes, as I began to dose off.

Darkness…. More and more darkness…. Light lit up the room and then I realized I was in the hall way my room was on. I felt a cool breeze run down my neck, turning around I was in front of the door to my study, I opened it and walked in. I noticed figure sitting in the chair, the room became lighter and I realized I was looking at myself. My hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail, and I was wearing a white polo with black trousers. My attention was drawn on something in my arms. I walked closer until I was standing right beside myself. I looked down and saw it was baby, she was crying.

"Hush Rin, it's alright." I heard myself say. So this had to be when Rin was a baby, she continued to cry. I watched as I then placed the side of my finger into her mouth making sure the nail didn't touch her gums. Rin's crying stopped as she chewed on the finger. I looked at myself, he was smiling.

"I love you Rin." I heard my self-whisper. I was then covered in darkness once more, I turned around and this time I was in front of the grand hall door. I opened it and this time I saw a whole bunch of figures sitting on chairs. I walked forward and I then realized it was a wedding… my wedding! I was standing at the right of the alter in a white tuxedo with a red rose, Inuyasha right behind me. On the other side of the alter stood Rin wearing a white flower girls dress with a basket full of flowers. The organ then began to play. I looked over my shoulder as a woman with a baby bump in a white dress and white veil walked down the aisle. She walked straight passed me to the alter, finally she made it. I watched as I lifted the veil, it was Mizuki! My eyes widened with surprise. Maybe I did lose my memory…..

~Mizuki~

Rin and I sat outside in the garden; she was lying on my lap listening to the pups heartbeats. I felt as one of them started to kick and then soon enough they all began to kick. Rin laid her head on my stomach the pups kicking harder.

"They kicked Rin!" she giggled hysterically. I smiled and laid my hand on my stomach.

"They are going to be a handful when they come." I said.

"Are they mine? All four of them?" I heard a low voice ask. I looked up to see Sesshomaru standing in front of us. Rin climbed in my lap and buried her face in my chest. She was shaking terribly; I patted her head trying to get her to calm down. Sesshomaru bent down and laid his hand on her back, she flinched and started to cry.

"Yes." I replied. He nodded and started to walk away.

"Why?" I asked. Before he didn't care about me or the pups just that stupid trick Kagura and all he wanted was sex. He stopped walking and turned to look at me.

"I just wanted to know." He whispered and left.

Rin and I were called to dinner as we walked into the dining room; Rin took a seat next to me instead of her normal seat next to Sesshomaru. Well before he lost his memory. The emperor noticed this and ordered Rin to sit next to Sesshomaru and Kagura to sit across the table next to Inuyasha. Rin was scared; she had barely touched her food.

"Rin eat please." I smiled. She nodded and picked up a big slice of beef with her fork and started to eat, it started to slide off her fork into her lap, she picked it back up and Sesshomaru took her fork and placed it down and then took his knife and cut the meat into pieces. Everyone looked in shock as he did too. He then unfolded the napkin and placed it down in her lap.

"Finish eating." He said. I stared at Sesshomaru my jaw hanging wide open; I looked over at Kagura who had the same facial expression. Dinner finished off with a strange atmosphere, it was all awkward for us.

"Rin… I want you in bed by 9-7:30" I was interrupted by Sesshomaru.

"What?" I asked.

"I want Rin in bed by 7 tonight." He ordered. I looked at the emperor who was just confused as I was.

"Sesshomaru-sama do you remember now?" I asked. He looked down at his plate.

"No." he replied and stood up to leave.

"Heh… Sesshomaru can't remember anything." Inuyasha chuckled. Sesshomaru sent him a glare and then taking a hot bowl of soup he walked around the table and dropped it in Inuyasha's lap. Inuyasha howled standing up he dropped his pants and was now in his boxers. His legs pink from the burn.

"Sesshomaru! InuYasha pull your pant up!" the emperor yelled. Sesshomaru strolled out the room while InuYasha continued to run around the dining room.

"That idiot is going to get payback something he'll never forget!" Inuyasha growled before wobbling out his pants still on the ground.

"Pants on the ground, pants on the ground looking like a fool with ya pants on a ground." Ryoku singed as he held a tray with an ice pack following InuYasha.

After dinner I did as Sesshomaru requested and put Rin to bed at seven. She had cried herself to sleep saying how she didn't want her old room near Sesshomaru's, instead she wanted to sleep with me. I assured her I would be right across the hall if she needed me. I kept one of her doors opened as did I so she knew I was close and I was watching her. Even I was unsure if she would be safe.
