Chapter 32

Back at Sakura Hills High School, Misako is in the principal's office chair with Meiko behind her in an emotionless state, on the floor tied up. "Excellent work, Meiko. That club you created was exactly what was needed to find out who that 4-year-old little girl who put me in jail." Misako smiles while looking at her smugly.

Meiko remains silent, not really on what to say. "It's true that this is the only place where half demons attend school. It's pretty dull if you ask me. Not to mention, you being a half cat demon while your aunt is a cat demon herself. I don't blame you for how you were born." Misako continues on.

Meiko looks to her left to see her aunt tied up with robe that makes it impossible for either her or her aunt to break free.

"What's the matter, Meiko? Were you happy that you had friends who were interested in the club?" Misako turns the chair around. She can clearly see Meiko how even though she's emotionless, deep inside she's angry and hurt all at once.

"You should know that it's ok to express yourself. Having them bottled up isn't good for you." Misako teases. "Now I know where Moroha is, it'll be a matter of time for her to come after me. But I'm going to make sure that she won't be in her right mind." She holds a cherry blossom pedal with a strain of Moroha's black hair in her hand.

Moroha's mind

Moroha finds herself in a dark abyss. "Mom, Dad? Towa, Setsuna? Anyone?" Moroha shouts as she looks around to see if she's the only one.

"Who are you?" A male voice speaks back to her. Moroha recognizes it's Inuyasha's voice that talked. "Dad! Where are you?" Moroha runs towards the voice's location. "Dad? Why are you calling me that?" Inuyasha said as Moroha comes into his view.

"Dad, it's me. Moroha." Moroha tells him seriously. Inuyasha looks confused. "I don't recall having a daughter."

Moroha slightly gasps. "You don't remember me?" She asks to him.

"Why would he? He shouldn't be able to?" Kagome's voice said next. She appears beside Inuyasha.

"Mom. Please tell me you remember me." Moroha begs to her.

"Since when did I decided to have a child. Let alone a quarter demon? That's impossible." Kagome said coldly.

"She's right for sure." Towa speaks up as well, even Setsuna.

Moroha is surrounded by the ones she called out earlier. "Please stop fooling around. I'm your cousin."

"Why would you be our cousin? We are nothing like you." Setsuna spoke in the same matter as Kagome.

Outside of Moroha's mind

Kagome sees Moroha moaning and holding her head like she's in pain. "Kagome, what's the matter with Moroha?" Rin asks her nervously. Kagome places her hand over her daughter's head. "Somehow, someone is trying to erase Moroha's memory."

"How is that possible?" Rin asks her. "When I was trying to connect with Moroha's spiritual powers, something was blocking the connection. Luckily, I'm able to trace where the block is coming from."

"Where?" Rin asks her.

"At the Sakura Hills School." Kagome answers her. That made Rin gasp in shock. "The only problem is that neither human nor demons can get in. Which is why half demons or quarter demons are able to enter."

"Our girls aren't in any condition to go there…" Kagome said to her.

"Which is why I'll be going." Inuyasha enters the room. Kagome turns to him. "Inuyasha. Please. Don't do this." She begs him to stay. Inuyasha embraces her. "Kagome, I'm the only one left in this family who can get in. Father told me that I was going to do the mission back then, and now is my chance. I won't Misako get the better of us. No matter what." He pulls back as he strokes Kagome's raven black hair.

"But the Tetsusaiga is the only thing that keeps your demon half in check. And you can't use it since it's with the Tenseiga to keep the girls' demon blood stabilized." Kagome points out. Inuyasha knows for sure that Kagome's right about that.

"What else can keep my demon blood in check then? We all know that the Tetsusaiga is the only item in the family that was able to do the job." He questions her. Kagome can tell for sure this is a true dilemma.

"Dad…please…don't leave me." Moroha murmurs in her sleep. Inuyasha walks over to Moroha. He is able to enter through the swords' barrier. "Moroha, I'm right here." He strokes her head.

Kagome knows for sure that they're going have to figure out to create something that is as powerful as the Tetsusaiga to keep Inuyasha's demon half tamed. Just watching the scene of them is not what she wanted for her husband and daughter to be in.

Riku appears beside her, "Lady Kagome. I've been appointed to escort you, Inuyasha and Moroha to the school." He tells her.

"But I can't go into that building, I don't have any demonic powers." Kagome responds back to him.

Riku pulls out something from his pants pocket it. Looks like a charm of some sort to wear. "It can create a barrier for you guys and slip into the school without detection." Riku assures her. Kagome puts the charm on her left wrist, and then an orb of a barrier appears around her so far.

"Now try expand the barrier to add Inuyasha and Moroha, along with the Tetsusaiga inside." Riku gives his next direction to have Kagome use her spiritual powers on the charm he gave her. Kagome concentrates her powers and was able to complete the task with ease.

Once Tetsusaiga left the barrier it created with the Tenseiga, the Tenseiga remained levitated and keeping the barrier up for the twins to stay safe.

Riku flicks his blue stud earring on his left ear and teleports the group to the hallway of the high school. Inuyasha managed to get Moroha onto his back since she's unconscious, while Kagome looks around the place.

"It feels so ominous in this place." She spoke first. Inuyasha smells the area too, "No doubt about it. This school reeks of the demon tree's aroma." He covers his nose with his jacket sleeve. They walk through the halls until they see the door to the office opened. Inuyasha and Kagome nod at each other and enter the room. Upon entering the office, they see the principal's office door opened as well.

"Well, if it isn't Inuyasha and Kagome. How long has it been? A decade. Well time flies." Misako's voice said to them darkly. The chair was facing away from the until it turns to reveal Misako. Inuyasha gives Moroha to Kagome.

"Misako, why are you after my daughter?" Inuyasha asks her angrily, not liking one bit of the fugitive escaped prison.

Misako smiles, "Moroha isn't the only one I'm after. I'm after all of the half demons in the world, mainly this school is a hot spot for such being to attend." She leans back in the chair.

"Then how was it that you escaped prisoned? Care to explain that worked." Kagome asks her this time. Misako chuckles. "You know, being an agent shouldn't be that difficult to pay attention to someone else's business. But I'll tell you.

Flashback

Misako is in a prison cell, alone in a damped room, just a cot for her to sleep on, no windows to look outside, let alone escape the room. "Say what brings you here?" A voice asks her from nowhere. Misako remains silent, not in the mode to talk to anyone.

Soon enough the room begins to make her very sleepy and soon she was out like a light. A person in the hallway looking into the cell through the sliding window peek. The person opens its hand release the pedals from the courtyard. Once the pedals made contact on Misako, the person is about to real Misako's mind and the reason she's in jail in the first place.

"Very interesting, you want to get rid of half demons. I might know a place where there are a lot of such creatures gather." It spoke sinisterly. A door opens and closes from somewhere else in the building. But the person gives Misako a pedal that will make sure that she's not detected when out of her cell.

'It was thanks to the person who gave me the information about the whereabouts about this place and load and behold, Moroha and the half demon twins were there as well. I knew for sure that I would get my revenge soon enough.'

'As soon as night came, I used it to my advantage to escape the prison until I stepped onto a silent siren wire thus alerting the guards about me. I had to run as fast as I could until I got into the river. That was the last time I saw that place. I walked aimlessly until I came into this town and a student from her took me in.'

End of Flashback

Inuyasha and Kagome remain on guard. "But at one point, you lost your memories." Inuyasha said to her. Misako narrows her eyes. "I did, in order to get into this school and pose as the student who took me in." Kagome looks around the chair to spot Meiko behind Misako.

"Inuyasha, that must be Meiko." Kagome said to him. Misako turns over her shoulder. "Ah you mean my pawn here. Well, I have to admit that she was sweet but gullible. I made sure that I took her place in the school. The thing is that clothes that she wore wear perfect for me to hide my scent, that way Moroha wouldn't be able to tell that I was her the entire time."

Moroha moans, "Mom, Dad…"

Misako gets alerted to hear Moroha's voice. "I need to kill that brat!" She shouts as she is about to jump and grab hold of the quarter demon. Inuyasha jumps in front of Misako and hits a few pressure points to immobilize the girl.

"Inuyasha, are you certain that was the best idea to take down Misako?" Kagome asks as she hugs Moroha in her arms protectively.

Inuyasha places handcuffs around Misako's wrists and ankles. "For now, the cuffs will keep her that way." He said to Kagome. He turns to Meiko. "Hey, wake up." He shakes Meiko's shoulder. Meiko moans to open her eyes, "Where…" She mumbles quietly until she realized what happened. "On no. Where's my aunt?" She tries to stand up but Inuyasha helps her up. "Where is she?" He asks her. Meiko points to the locker in the office room. Inuyasha sniffs the locker. "No doubt about it, there's someone in there." He slashes the metal door with his claws and Meiko's aunt falls out until Inuyasha catches her.

"Meiko. Oh!" Yuki embraces her niece. She turns to see Inuyasha, Kagome and Moroha. "How did you know where to find us?" She asks him. Inuyasha looks around the office. "It's not just you or Meiko. It was Misako."

"Tell me something, Yuki. Are you the new principal of the school?" Inuyasha turns to Kagome who asked the question. Yuki stands up with Meiko helping her up. "Just this year. There's been a different one every year. For the last 50 years." Yuki answers her.

"So that would make you the fiftieth principal in the school's history." Meiko points out. Yuki chuckle, "Kind of. The thing is that this school is cursed." She said to them.
