The Demon Child Amaya

Chapter 13

As usual the day went by with nothing happening, they found a few jewel shards and Inuyasha and Aya made short work of killing the demons and getting them. Aya smiles as she watches as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru getting closer each minute that goes by, ‘this morning when I woke up in Sesshomaru’s arms I wanted to cry, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were sleeping and Inuyasha had his head on Sesshomaru’s shoulder, they looked so cute. When everyone woke up over breakfast they had asked me where Yura lives, all I know is that she is in the Western mountains somewhere.’

It is mid afternoon and Inuyasha stops and turns to the group, “we should find somewhere save to set up camp, there should be a cave a few miles from here, we should be able to get there before nightfall.”

“Why do we need to sleep in a cave tonight?” Kagome asks.

“It is the night of the new moon that’s why,” Inuyasha says.

Amaya freezes when she hears this, ‘SHIT! My concealing spell will not work while I am human! This is also my human night, what the hell am I going to do, once I turn human Sesshomaru will figure out that he is my Father and Inuyasha is my Papa!’ Amaya came from her thoughts when Rin said her name, “Sorry what was that Rin?”

“I said everyone is leaving we have to go,” Rin says smiling.

“Oh yeah about that, tell the other’s that something caught my attention if they ask where I am just tell them that I will catch up with them in the morning,” before Rin could say anything Amaya runs off.

Rin waves bye to Amaya and then runs to catch up with the others; Rin walks beside Ah-Un humming to herself when everyone stops.

Sesshomaru stops the group when he notices that Aya’s scent is fading, “Where is Aya?” Sesshomaru asks, he turns to Rin.

“Oh Lady Aya says that something caught her attention and she will be back in the morning,” Rin smiles.

“What?” Inuyasha yells. “Why didn’t you stop her?”

“She ran off before I could,” Rin says.

“I’ll go get her,” Sesshomaru says.

“My lord I think you should be careful,” Rin says.

“Why is that Rin?”

“When I approached her she was pale and looked really scared, I noticed it after Lord Inuyasha talked about the new moon.”

“Thank you Rin, I will be careful. I will be back by tonight, I am aware of the cave you speak of so I will meet you there Inuyasha.”

“Alright Sesshomaru,” Inuyasha says and he leads the group towards the cave.

Sesshomaru takes off the opposite way they came until he smells Aya’s scent leading in another direction. After an hour of chasing her scent he finally catches up to Aya he hides in the forest as he watches Aya panting.

“Damn…human night… makes me… so weak…” Aya pants. “I got to find a place to hide for the night, and food.” Amaya keeps going unaware of her follower.

Sesshomaru decides to not show himself to Aya and just follow her and wait to see what she will do, ‘so this is her human night as well, very interesting.’

Amaya walks through the woods and catches herself a couple of rabbits, she cuts and cleans them before eating them. Once she is done she cleans up and starts to walk again, ‘There got food now it’s time to find a place to rest for the night.’ Amaya continues walking until the sky starts to turn orange, ‘Damn running out of time.’ At that moment the she hears something behind her, Amaya turns around and growls, “Show yourself now or die!”

Sesshomaru steps out from behind the tree that he was behind, it had been a damn squirrel that gave him away, ‘I hate squirrels,’ Sesshomaru says to himself.

“Amaya’s eyes grow wide, “Sesshomaru? What the hell are you doing here?”

“When you disappeared I came for you, why did you leave the group?” Sesshomaru says.

“Do I need a reason?” Amaya crosses her arms over her chest. “Now go back to the others I will be there in the morning.”

“I don’t think so; I am not leaving unless you attend to come with me.”

“Damnit Sesshomaru you can’t be around me tonight!” Amaya yells.

“Calm down Aya, I am not going to hurt you tonight, I heard you say that it is your human night. I’ll protect you,” Sesshomaru says walking closer.

“You don’t understand, my concealing spell will not work while I am human. My scent will give away who I am,” Amaya cries.

Sesshomaru kneels in front of Amaya and puts a hand on her shoulder, “Aya I already know who your Father is.”

Amaya eyes grew wide with panic, “How?”

“I found the same poison that I have on Naraku’s puppet, I am the only one left with that kind of poison whip.”

“Damnit, I was careless. This was my first time using my time travelling power, and I have now just jeopardized my own existence,” Amaya grabs Sesshomaru shirt, “Please don’t tell anyone that you are my Father.”

“Aya, I won’t tell anyone unless you allow me too, I promise.” Sesshomaru could sense that Aya was really scared thinking that she won’t exist now that he knows. “The truth is Aya, it is thanks to you that Inuyasha and I are now a family, from the moment I first saw you I could feel the ice around my heart begin to melt. So because of the advice you gave to Inuyasha, I managed to see that I was wrong about him, you can even say I finally grew up.”

Amaya smiles and pats his head, “good boy.”

Sesshomaru smiles, “You are going to be the downfall of the great cold hearted Lord of the West.”

“Too late,” Amaya says. Just then the sun sets and Amaya feels the pain the comes with transforming into a human, she lets out a small gasp, before her vision disappears, her hearing fades, her ears melt down to human ears and her claws and fangs retract; Amaya’s silver hair turns black and her golden eyes turn bright blue.
Sesshomaru watches as Aya transforms her concealing spell disappears and he can smell his scent mixed with hers and someone else’s. He inhales her scent a couple times before he realizes whose it is, “This is interesting.”

“Now you know, you mate with Inuyasha and I am the result of that.”

“I had already had my suspicions but this just confirms them,” Sesshomaru says. “Why don’t we go get fire wood and set up camp?”

“Okay,” Amaya smiles and walks with Sesshomaru to gather fire wood.

Soon they had a fire going, and Sesshomaru is sitting down with Aya in his lap, “So now that I know that you are my daughter and I know who your Papa is, what is your real name?”

“I don’t know what do you think it is?” Amaya smirks at him.

“Izayoi?”

“No, though that was almost named that, no you name me on the night of my birth is was a full moon and it was raining. You both decided to name me… Amaya.”

“Amaya? That is very beautiful, so wonder we named you that I can also guess that Aya is made up from the last three letters of your name.”

“Yeah, it is the name I use when I don’t want people to know that I am part of the royal Inu-youkai family.”

“Why would you deny who you are?”

“Sometimes I give that name when I leave the palace to try and over hear if anyone is conspiring against you.”
Sesshomaru couldn’t believe what he was hearing, “you are very intelligent.”

“Papa likes to say I get it from him just to tease you,” Amaya laughs.

“That is Inuyasha,” Sesshomaru says. “Amaya?”

“Yes Sesshomaru?”

“Is Inuyasha and I happy together?”

“Huh?”

“Ever since I started joining the group I have wanted to get close to Inuyasha and I have started to develop feeling for him, but I don’t know if it because you are here or if it is because I truly have these feelings.”
“Sesshomaru you have to listen to your heart and trust your youkai neither will let you down.”

“Shouldn’t I be telling you that?”

“You already did,” Amaya smiles as she cuddles into Sesshomaru’s arms and falls asleep.
