Sorry for the late update. I apologized for the errors in my story. I appreciate all the reviews for the story. Thank you. So here the chapter update for you. In this chapter it will revealed Kiyomi's identity.

As you know Saige has a secret, she's hiding from everyone. The secret did a little reveal in Saige's memories. Hopefully answers will be answers in this chapter.

Enjoy and don't forget to review.

Chapter Twenty Nine

Inuyasha was shocked and surprised when Kiyomi lunged herself onto one of his legs "Hey, what the hell are you doing?" he shouted.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome glares at him, folding her arms

He was about to yank her off of him, but decides not to because he doesn't want to hurt or scared her. He was confused and doesn't understand why he would be concern for Kiyomi who he had just met. He has this weird feeling that she might be related to him because scent he was picked up from her. He could definitely smell his own scent on her

Kagome walked over to him "I think we should take her with us," she suggested.

"I think Saige know this little girl," Sango says as she walked up to Kagome and Inuyasha

"Great, maybe she came give us some answers," Inuyasha replied as he grabs Kiyomi by her brown cloak and hoist her onto his back "Let's go, Kagome". This time he was planning on getting answers and will not take no for an answers.

Kagome nodded "Shippo," she says.

Shippo jumps off of Kirara and transforms into a huge pink floating ball. Then Kagome got on and Shippo flew off after Inuyasha with Kirara right behind him.

Sesshomaru, Rin, Saige, Kohaku, Ella, and Jaken with A-Un have arrived at an empty hunt. It was surrounding with trees. Rin, Ella, and Kohaku are now inside the hunt while Saige, Sesshomaru, and Jaken with A-Un were outside guarding the place. Saige was looking toward the trees of forest with one of her hand on the handle of her sword. She was in her own thoughts, but was still aware of the surrounding. What was Kiyomi doing here and did Totosai send her here was the questions Saige needs answers to. She admitted that she was surprised to see Kiyomi here alone. "Why would they send Kiyomi here alone, it not safe for her," she thought "Maybe Totosai want Kiyomi to give a message to me"

Many unanswered questions were on Saige's mind, but she decides to push to aside and worried about the situation. They were okay for now, but who knows what Cobramaru is up to next so she has to be prepare for it.

Saige glances over and saw Jaken standing next to A-Un. She begins to wonders if Jaken has told her father anything. Jaken caught Saige glaring at him. He flinches and hid behind A-Un.

Saige was about to go over and question him when she saw Inuyasha and the others has arrived. Kiyomi got off of Inuyasha's back and ran toward Saige. Sesshomaru notices Inuyasha and the others arrived and immediately got up. He approaches to Saige.

"Saige!" Kiyomi cried and clutches onto Saige's leg. Saige looked at her and placed a hand on her shoulder "Kiyomi, tell me how did you get here and why?" she asked where Kiyomi can hear her.

Kiyomi let go of Saige's leg and stuck her hand inside her brown cloak. She pulled out a rectangular old box and gave it to Saige who kneels down and takes it from her.

"Did Totosai say anything," Saige asked.

Instead of answering, Kiyomi reaches out and touches Saige's face. A vision appears to Saige.

Visions

1st Vision: An injured Inuyasha wore the enchanted beads that Kagome took off of him on Kiyomi and then he gave her to Totosai. After that, he left quickly without looking back. Kiyomi was watching him leave with tears in her eyes.

2nd Vision: Totosai slips the rectangular box into Kiyomi's cloak "Hand this to Saige when you find her, she'll know what to do". Kiyomi quietly nodded.

3rd Vision: Totosai gave Kiyomi to two boys. One of them was hanyou like Inuyasha. He was dressed in a crimson kimono and other boy resembled like Miroku was dressed in his demon slayer outfits.

"Make sure she gets there safely," Totosai told the boys who nodded and left quickly.

"I hope everything work according to my plan," Totosai says.

A flea was jumping onto Totosai's shoulder "Let hope Kiyomi find Saige soon because I'm afraid that Kiyomi doesn't have much time left".

"When Kiyomi find Saige, Saige will know what to do," Totosai replied staring at the sky.

End of the Vision

Kiyomi removes her hand away from Saige's face "Are you okay?" she suddenly asked, causing Saige eyes to widen for a second. She realizes that Kiyomi has read her mind and knew what she was thinking about. She glances at Sesshomaru and notices that he was staring at her. She turned back and looked at Kiyomi who has an "I know your secret" look on her face.

"Silence," Saige says in a serious tone causing Kiyomi to flinch. She didn't mean to startles Kiyomi with her sudden action. All Saige wants was to keep Kiyomi from telling her secret that she don't want anyone to know about. It not just her secret but it was also Kiyomi secret too.

Kiyomi sadly looked down at her hands "Kiyomi," She looked at Saige

Saige got up and turned her back toward Kiyomi "Come with me," She says as she turned and walked toward the hut.

Kiyomi nodded and follows after Saige.

Kagome blinks her eyes "What was that all about that?" she asked.

Inuyasha folds his arms "I senses Saige has a secret that she's hiding from us," He glances at Sesshomaru "And from the look on Sesshomaru's face, he doesn't know her secret".

Sesshomaru suddenly appears in front of Inuyasha in a blink of an eye "Inuyasha, what do you know about Saige that I don't know?' He glares at his half brother "Answer me".

Inuyasha scoffs "How should I know, she doesn't talk much to anyone about it and beside she's your daughter not mine. I want some answers too".

Sesshomaru turned and walked toward the hut "Hn, it's seems that you are indeed clueless," he says and then left.

"WHAT!" Inuyasha shouted "Coward, come back and say it to my face!"

Shippo shakes his head "Why can't they get along for once?"

"I'm curious," Sango says as she turns and looked at Miroku.

"About what?" Miroku asked.

"I wonder how they are in the future," Sango says "Maybe they change their attitude toward each other".

Miroku put a hand on Sango's shoulders "No, something tells me that don't change, but I do know is that they both care for Saige and wants to know her secret".

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}

Inside the hut, Rin was tending Ella's wound. Kohaku was facing his back turn toward Rin and Ella to give them privacy.

"There, that should help," Rin said as she finished bandaged Ella's wound.

Ella put her kimono back on "Thank you," She looked at Kohaku who still has his back turn "You can look now".

Kohaku turned around "Are you okay now?" he asked.

"Better than before," Ella replied.

Rin got up and went over to the window "I hope Lord Sesshomaru, Saige, and Master Jaken are okay out there".

"Don't worry Rin," Ella got up and walked over to Rin "Saige is a fighter and so is Lord Sesshomaru".

"Your right," Rin sighs and turned around.

It was silence for awhile. Ella notices Rin was nervously playing with her hands. She knew Rin wants to ask something, but was hesitating.

"Rin," Ella spokes "Is there something you want to ask about?"

Rin looked at Ella "Were there is... um something I want to ask you"

"Sure, what is it?" Ella asked.

"Well I... uh was um wondering..." Rin was stuttering

"Yeah," Ella says as she was curious to know what Rin want to ask. A smirk appears on Ella's face "Oh I get it".

Rin she stares at Ella in bewilderment and wonder what she's mean by those words.

"You want to ask me about you and Sesshomaru is that it?" Ella asked, slightly chuckles.

Kohaku couldn't help, but lightly laugh at what Ella said.

Rin eyes widen and shook her head "No," she says feeling the blush slowly appearing on his face. She was curious to know about her and Sesshomaru in the future, but that wasn't what she was planning to ask.

"Oh," Ella blinks her eyes "Then what did you plan to ask about?"

"Well since you knew Saige, maybe you can tell how she was," Rin manages to say what she want to ask.

"Saige, she is strong and good fighter and hardly talk much to anyone," Ella explained "Saige and I met when we were little. She would always talk to me and spend time with me during her spare time".

"Did she ever smile?" Rin asked.

"I saw her smiles once when she was little, but as she grew, she starts to change. She still talked to me and Kohaku," Ella smiles at the memories she has with Saige "Kohaku and I are the only two people that she talk to beside her family".

"What made Saige change?" Kohaku suddenly asked.

"Something has happened to her when she was little," Ella says, but didn't go any further detail because she doesn't want to tell Saige's secret, which she had promised Saige. And that's the promise she was planning to keep.

Rin was about to say something when Saige walked in with Kiyomi.

"Saige?" Ella says.

"Are you well?" Saige asked.

Ella nodded "I'm much better, thanks for asking".

Saige turned and looked at Rin "I need your help," She slightly pulled Kiyomi toward Rin "I need you to take a look at Kiyomi's back".

"Sure," Rin turned and looked at Kiyomi and touched her brown cloak "Can I?" she asked.

Kiyomi nodded and Rin removed the brown cloak off exposing her sliver hair and her ears on top of her head.

Kohaku and Rin eyes widen as they saw it.

"Her ears are so cute," Rin says as she gently touches one of Kiyomi's ear.

A smile forms on Kiyomi's face when she hear Rin gave her a compliment.

"She look like Inuyasha," Kohaku remarked, can't believe what he was seeing.

Rin slides Kiyomi's kimono down exposing her back to Kohaku and Saige,

Rin gasps with a hand on her mouth "What happened to her," she can't help feel sad for Kiyomi.

A red violet burn hand mark was on her back. Ella and Saige looked at each other and then at Kiyomi's back.

"That's not good," Ella whispers to Saige.

Saige balled up her fists that were to her sides "She's dying," she muttered under her breath.

Rin slides Kiyomi's kimono back on and then the brown cloak. Then she turned and looked at Saige "Saige, what's going on?" she asked, hoping Saige would tell her.

Ella pulled Saige to aside "Saige, I know you are trying to protect them, but they need to know what's going on. If you don't tell them sooner, then it's going to be too late when Cobramaru accomplishes with his plan," she said, trying to convince Saige to tell the others.

Saige look at Ella debating whether she should tell them. She turned and looked at Rin.

"Please let us help you, Saige," Rin pleaded.

Meanwhile outside the hut, Sesshomaru was standing behind the door. At first, he was about to go in when he overheard the conversation and decided to stay and hear what was going on.

"Should I tell them," Saige wonders.

"Saige," Ella interrupts Saige's thoughts "If you're not comfortable to tell them then I can tell them for you," she suggests.

"Hn," Saige turned and walked toward the door "Do as you please," she says and left out.
As Saige walked outside, she came to face with Sesshomaru who looked at her sternly, which actually scared the hell out of her, but she didn't show on her face.

A wind breeze blows through their sliver hairs that sway from side to side.

"I demand some answers," he insisted.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {}{}{}{}

Ella was watching Saige and then turn back, looking at Rin and Kohaku who was waiting for an answer.

She sighs and spokes "Saige and Kiyomi were both attack by Cobramaru".

Rin eyes widen and she placed a hand over her mouth.

"Saige was attack by Cobramaru at the same age as Kiyomi," Ella explained "Kiyomi was attack a few months ago right after..." She suddenly stops talking.

"After what?" Rin asked.

Kohaku notices Ella was hesitated to continue "Please, we have to know".

Ella looked down at her hands and then at Rin "After you died," she managed to say it even though she feel uncomfortable saying it out loud.

Rin looked down at her hands sadly unable to say anything when Ella mentions about her death.

"How did you know this?" Kohaku asked.

"I was there," Ella replied "Saige took Rin death pretty hard and so did Lord Sesshomaru. They were determining to kill Cobramaru. Even Inuyasha wants to kill Cobramaru for hurting Kiyomi".

"I see," Kohaku says with understanding.

"Cobramaru didn't just hurt Saige and Kiyomi, he placed a curse on them which is the mark you saw on Kiyomi's back," Ella explained.

Rin looked at Ella "A curse? Saige has a curse too?" she can't believe what she was hearing "Is there a way to break the curse?"

Ella became uncomfortable again with the question.

Rin touches Ella's hands "Please tell me, is there a way to saved Saige and Kiyomi from the curse," she begged as tears was forming in her eyes.

"There is a way that I and Saige know of which future you, Lord Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kagome disagreed a lot on," Ella replied.

"What is it?" Rin asked.

Ella was debating whether it's a good idea to say it

"One of them has to sacrifice their life in order to break the curse," she finally says it leaving Rin and Kohaku speechless.

TBC: It's not looking good for Kiyomi. Yes Sesshomaru know Kiyomi is Inuyasha and Kagome daughter when he first saw her. Saige is in tight spot. Is she actually going to tell Sesshomaru? No, Inuyasha and Kagome don't know Kiyomi is their daughter, but Inuyasha is starting to suspect it.

What are they are going to do now?

Stay tuned for the next Chapter.
