My blood ran cold, as if my body had died, no not my body, my heart felt as if it was slowly dying. "His…fiancé? ...I thought he turned down all your bride elects."

"He did…because he didn't want to lose his heart again. Ever since he was a child, he thought love and emotions like that were only for humans, till he met Akiko."

"Akiko?" The name of the woman I never knew stabbed me in the chest, as if I had hated her all my life.

"Akiko was the daughter of the Lord of The Eastern Lands, and she was the most beautiful and intelligent woman of her age. She was so young when she first met Sesshomaru. Akiko was only 140 as he was about 200 years old, but he fell for her and asked her to marry him, without even a courting session. They were to be married on the eve of his 750th birthday, the age that males are truly matured, body and soul."

"What happened to her?"

"She was found to be born from a human woman, a half breed, and she died by the hands of the Elders. It was only a hundred years before Sesshomaru's birthday, when he heard she was killed for the offense. He turned into the ice demon he is today…"

I sighed, as I took off the pendant, putting it into her hands. "I think maybe I should go."

She looked at me, surprised. "Why?"

"Maybe I should quest on my own, and I don't believe of reopening wounds. It's not the way I am."

"Reopening wounds? ... You mean about the feelings you ha-"

"Yes, Mother. And I don't wish to lose my heart, for good, to someone not ready to have it, as he has blocked himself for losing his first love." I smiled, as I kissed her hand. "I will become a woman you and my late mother would be proud of."

"You don't have to leave."

"My heart tells me I should. To hear the story of Akiko and Sesshomaru hurts me, it makes me think that… That last night was just a painful illusion."

"Last night?"

"I have to go, Mother. I hope you can forgive me one day, I shall be back." I started to cry, but I ran out of sight before I could, as I got to the gates, they were closed. I jumped over them, as I heard Rin in the distance, she was laughing and playing, 'God, I promise, Rin, I will be back.' I looked down the mountain, taking a deep breath, hoping that I could fly like Sesshomaru. I jumped into the air, thinking of floating, as I did just that, a purple cloud grew around my feet. I flew into the skies, hiding in the clouds, hoping my scent couldn't be found if Sesshomaru tried to follow me.

'Lord, why does my heart hurt so bad.' I cried, as tears fell down, it started to rain below me, I looked down as it poured, I realized that every time I cried, it would rain.

'Must be my powers, I have to control them. I don't need to get caught… maybe I can transform into another person, like Mother Taka said about Mother, she could change herself to look like any human she wanted.' I took a deep breath, as I envisioned a new form for myself; I wanted to look nothing like myself as a human or as a demon. I thought of bright blond hair with fire red streaks, and eyes of made of sea blue from the ocean itself, and a perfect hourglass figure, I felt my body changed as I closed my eyes, feeling my hair become shorter, as did my height. I gasped in pain, as my ears became normal, my hips grew, my waist shrunk, and I took a deep breath, the transformation was over. I looked down below the clouds to see a village; I landed my cloud behind a tree, as I waved my hand over my clothes, changing them into peasant clothes, to not get any attention drawn to myself. I was really doing well with my powers, I just thought of something or waved my hand, it would happen, I was as powerful as a God, the rain slowly stopped.

I walked into the village, as a group of children ran past me, giggling and playing, I smiled. I got to a little store, filled with mirrors; I stared at my new self's reflection. I was just as I envisioned myself, if I was Britney Spears's cousin and wasn't a slut, I giggled at myself, my voice had changed too, Sesshomaru would defiantly have a hard time finding me. I could feel a pair of eyes on me, as I turned to them, it was a young man, he fumbled, tripping over his own feet and landing on the ground, face first. I laughed and walked over to him, helping him up.

"Thank you, Miss." He had dark brown hair that stopped at his ears, his eyes were hazel, and his voice was filled with innocence, he must have been only 15.

"Why would you stare at me?" I felt part of my demon blood take over, but I held control, so my emotions seemed noticeable.

"Your beauty is so radiant." I smiled, as I picked up the fruit he dropped, putting it in his arms. "It blinded me."

"I am neither radiant nor strong enough to blind anyone, but I appreciate your kindness." I fixed my clothing.

"I say otherwise." The young boy smiled, as he took my hand. "Would you come with me to my home?"

"Excuse me?" I was shocked, I just met this boy on the street, now he's asking me home, 'Do I look that much of an easy target for sexual misinterpretations?'

He noticed the look on my face, as he took his hand away, shaking them back and forth. "I didn't mean it like that, I meant….Oh goodness, I'm not good at this."

I laughed, he was cute, even though he was still a child to me. "You're trying to flirt with me…It isn't going to work, I'm sorry."

His face turned sad. "Oh, you have someone."

I blushed. "Kinda yeah." I scratched my head.

He looked at me weird, but sighed. "Well, at least I can make a new friend. My name is Latsu Tenjo." He shook my hand, as I looked at him, shocked, again.

"Are you related to Kazunori Tenjo?" I pulled my hand away.

"He was my uncle, before he disappeared with the Lady Guardian of the Moon and the unborn inside her. My father was angry at him, but he supported him in his actions, as he was his only brother, his little brother."

'My Dad had a brother…wow… I have an uncle.' I nodded. "I see."

"Why do you ask?"

"Would you like the truth?" I looked at him, with the closest look to seducing, as he smiled, nodding. "I was an ally of the Lady Guardian, almost a daughter. I knew of Kazunori, he is alive."

"Alive? Where?" Latsu was speechless by the look in his eyes, but I knew I had him on a string, hook, line and sinker.

"I was sworn to secrecy, but he wishes you and your father, apologies."

A tear ran down his eye, as he wiped it off his face, trying to smile. "Thank you, Miss… I didn't catch your name?"

"You may call me…" 'Cant say my real name, think Mika think… That's it!' I smiled, kindly. "Call me, Haru. Sadly, I must be going to my next destination. Wish you the brightest days and the stars be blessed." I walked away, as I sensed him run off, I guessed to tell his father, my uncle of the news. I sighed, I walked out of the village to a field of flowers, I just felt like resting. I sat down, lying in the flowers, as I just stared at the sky, thinking.

'My father gave up his family, his brother, everything for Mom…for me. Their love tore apart a family, killed a kingdom, and destroyed life upon life of millions. My parents…' I started to cry, as I leaned on my side. 'God, I don't want my love for Sesshomaru to tear apart my family, to kill a kingdom or destroy countless lives… I adore him, but is our love worth paving over the past…creating a new future we don't know…'

"Why do you cry?" I jolted up, standing in a fighting pose, as I saw the person whom the voice came from, I knew it.
