Alls Fair in Love and War

Kazo's Secret Chronicles Part 3

"Father no!" I cried, lunging my body at him knocking us both to the ground.

"Kazo have you gone mad? Unhand me!"

"No!" I struggled holding down my larger father fighting off his claws and fangs. "Mother…Run hurry!"

Hina nodded keeping the children to her chest and took off as if the hounds of hell were on her tail.

I thrashed and fought with my father using my own fangs and claws to battle with him. However I'm still far too pose any real harm to him. Lord Kuro has always and will forever be my superior in many ways shapes and forms.

One tackled swap to my face was enough to throw me off balance and against the rocky wall of the cave. I felt the stiffed blow against my back knocking whatever oxygen I had to the wind. My knees slammed into the ground soon joined with my hands as I beat my chest trying to relieve the tightened pressure.

"You will not shame this family Kazo." Lord Kuro snorted at his fallen kit and dashed off after his traitorous mate the unwanted grandchildren.

I felt so weak. I couldn't move. I was screaming for my legs to gain life and move but the hardened attack left me in a total delusional daze. Trembling thoughts raced at record speeds. Some jumbled, others I wish would appear. All my life it's been one lie after the other. My very existence, my love life, All of it lies. And now the one bit of truth in the world was given to me and my father wanted to take it away. But I couldn't let him. No matter how much it was within his right to do so, I couldn't let him take my creations. It was my fault this happened. They didn't have to suffer for it.

"Please legs move." I begged forcing signals from my head to their functioning talents. My children and my mother needed me. I needed to be strong. I couldn't let them die.

"Move, move, Dammit move!" But nothing was working. Why couldn't I move my bottom half? Was I that terrified of my father so much that I would sacrifice the lives of my babies? No no no no "DAMMIT MOVE!"

No I couldn't let them die. My only momentary joy in this world of deceit and crime. He wasn't going to take that from me. The only solution for my voluntary stoniness was pain. With no more holding back I did just that. A nearby jagged stone was gathered for the purpose of jamming into my left leg. The agonized hiss of the self-inflicted madness jolted the wanted actions of my legs to gain life again.

I jumped up, injury and all, taking off after my father and his intended targets for redemption. As I gained focus, so many thoughts of the past surged with a vengeance. So much has occurred. I've experience a wonderful love only to lose sight of it; a true and pure friendship that's grown into a passionate bond between three demons. There was a secret love that was forced upon me without my consent. Inari has blessed me with the likeness of my past comrades. And now, now I must save the only love I have for myself. What was all of this for? Why was I cursed with such a horrid life? Would it all mean something in the end?

"KAZO!"

Mother? My…my mother she sounded…as if she were being attacked… Oh Inari please don't let this be happening. I quickened my speed as fast as I could muster toward the shrilled cry of my mother. Suddenly the sickening smell of blood floated in the air. No. "Mother!" Oh Inari no! Not my mother! Not the only shred of sanity I have left to help me.

I scrambled through the brush, crossed over thick branches, stumbled over rocks until I finally made it into a grassless clearing. The sight to greet me would me to stay forever stained in my heart and my mind. There lying in a spreading pool of her own blood was my beloved, supporting mother. A fist sized crater was driven straight through her chest where her heart would've been. Her once beautiful, long golden tresses were stained with her very own life fluids. "Oh Mother." I whispered feeling my heart crack. I couldn't believe this. My wonderful, brilliant mother…torn away from me…How could he?

"Kazo?"

My eyes lifted up to see my Father standing near the edge of a cliff…with something in his hand. That's when it struck me. "Oh Inari, Father where are my children?" I demanded terrified that he'd already killed them.

Just then I heard a precious cry coming from the far side of us. There hanging on a tree by the support of his little blanket was my first born, Yoko Kurama. He was alright. Thank the heavens. Besides the glitter splats of dirt covering his plump face he didn't seemed harmed, nor did I detect a scent of his blood. At least he was ok…But wait. Where was my other newborn.

That's when I realized the bundle in my father's hand. A thunderous jolt raced throughout my entire body as I slowly, very slowly turned back to face my father. My breathes trembled in shaky spouts…my heart raced in a seething pace…my skin glistened in terrified sweat…my hands clinched at my side…my eyes stretched to their widest capacity.

There in my father's claws…was my other son crying and screaming for his mother. "Father don't." I whispered slowly inching towards my baby.

Lord Kuro sighed. "Kazo I'm not as cruel as you make me out to be, but this is for your own good." He lifted the red haired kit and sneered at it in disgust. "This…creature is a curse. A wicked punishment we won't accept."

"Father…please. I-I know what I've done was wrong but please punish me instead. Don't take my son." My throat was thick with millions of emotions clouding my windpipe.

"Kazo, you're far too young to realize the extent of this. Do you realize what could happen if the council found out your involvement with an engaged prince? Or that damn dragon clan?" Kuro shook his head before I could try to cover myself. "Don't even bother you fool. I'm far to experience for your feeble lies. The scent from both of these brats is unmistakable. You rutted with both the dog and that dragon like some type of whore!"

"NO!" I cried desperate to defend myself. "Father I was not a whore. I admit I did mate with Taisho but as for Ryuu he…he raped me—"

"Enough! You will cease these lies Kazo. You're lucky I'm sparing your life as I've found out you're more useful then I originally realized."

I was becoming increasingly worried. "Father," I dropped to my knees bowing to my king. "Please I beg of you to forgive me. You are far too kind to grant me life. But please, please let me keep my children. I beg of you to please allow me that much."

"Never!" Kuro roared. "You don't get how the tainted seed of this dragon's seed is such a ruptured disgrace upon our clan!"

"Then I will leave here with both my children and disappear forever. I will forfeit all ties with the House of the Rose and never return! But please give him back!" I cried letting the tears come full force. I was so scared he was going to kill my son.

"Pathetic. How dare you think to forsake our bloodline for the sake of this worthless creature!" Kuro stretched his arm out over the edge of the towering cliff. "You will be allowed to keep the silver kit for his hair and skin shows his heritage but this devil child will not share the same fate."

"MY BABY! Father please don't take my son! Don't punish my son for what I've done. I'll do whatever you ask, but please Father give him back!"

"Never, you have shamefully tainted our family bloodline but," Kuro looked at the hideous child in his loosening grip. "I shall fix this for you."

"I BEG OF YOU FATHER DON'T!" My unnamed beautiful little rose… I watched in dreaded fear as my father's claws lost whatever hold he had on my child… "NOOOO!" I screamed running toward the edge prepared to jump after him. My son would not die! I couldn't allow him to leave me! …But I wasn't granted that desire.

Lord Kuro had grabbed me before I could even feel touch the tip of my child's body. No, no, no, he was falling, falling, my son. My gorgeous beautiful innocent baby…he was…out of my reach. I heaved stuttered breathes as I watched my sweet innocent child disappear from me beneath the ground clouds below. I couldn't see him anymore…. He was gone, he was gone, OH INARI HE WAS GONE! "OH GODS YOU KILLED MY SON!" I howled pathetic crying off the edge when he dropped me to the ground. "Oh my precious child! YOU FUCKING KILLED MY BABY! HOW COULD YOU? YOU TWISTED SON OF A FUCKING BITCH YOU KILLED MY SON!"

With strength I didn't know was hidden in my soul, I growled viciously as I lunged for my father aiming for his throat. "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU YOU MURDERER!" I didn't recognize my own voice for it sounded too animalistic for it to be mines. All I wanted was blood. I wanted the blood of the one who took my innocent little rose away from me.

"Kazo you dare to challenge your father? You worthless fool!"

"GO TO HELL!" I screamed.

Seeing the uncontrolled situation Kuro did the last thing he could do and called upon every vine and plant in the nearby forest to restrain me from clawing his face off. "No, No unhand me!" I commanded to the greenery holding me back, but alas the organisms only obey the one with the larger store of youki.

"Hn, you are such a fool Kazo." Father's hand clamped on my jaw squeezing it until I thought it'd snap. "Instead of focusing on that dead child, why not focus on the one I'm letting you keep! You should be grateful I'm even letting you have that much!"

The truth of his words instant defeated the growing beast inside of me as he twisted my face over to see my now quiet boy hanging on the branch. I looked at that sweet innocent face resting silently alone and reluctantly calmed down. As much as I hated my father, he was right. I should be grateful he was letting me keep my other baby. But this wasn't fair. Why couldn't he let me keep them both? I wanted to raise both of my kits together…not alone. My chest deflated of my earlier arrogance and I nodded my head. "Yes Father…I'm sorry."

"Hmm good kit." The plants sensing no more of a threat lowered me down to the ground at my father's feet. "You are to never speak of this to anyone and you will raise this kit as your own in privacy, but in public we shall say he was given birth by a vixen that died in child birth. Do I make myself clear?"

I nodded in a lifeless tug of my head. "Yes Father."

"Very well. Return to the palace and nurse the child. I shall deal with you later."

"Yes…Father." I choked as I cursed myself for being so weak and foolish. How could I allow this to happen? How could I have been so ignorant for love? This was my fault. All my fault. If I'd never ever decided to be with Taisho, than this would've never happened to my baby. It was my entire fault. I killed my son. I was the one who threw him over the cliff. I did it. I destroyed him and kept my silver baby because he belonged to my beloved Taisho. How could I? How could I be so cruel?

I fell into the ground burying my face in the dirt, digging my claws into the solid surface in shame. I felt like such a weak and worthless coward.

Wahhh! Wahhhh!

Suddenly I shifted over to see my first born. Yoko Kurama. He was crying…calling for me…reaching out to me. How could I be so blind? My other son was still alive. I couldn't leave him. My only living flesh and blood needed his father to be strong. I had to be strong if only for him. "I'm here Kurama." I whispered pushing my torn body up and heading for him.

His crying increased as if not believing my word of honor. No my son. I am here. I will be there now and forever. I won't let you go. I won't let anything happen to you.

I lifted him off of the tree branch and his cries turned to baby peeps as he nuzzled toward my chest for warmth. I sighed cuddling my living baby to my chest. "Don't worry my son. I'm here…I'm here." It was a promise. I would always be here. I was always going to be there for him.

With one final tear shred, I glanced over where my little kit fell to his death and whispered my final farewell. "Good bye little rose." And went away toward my home.

---

It's been five tortuous months for me since the death of my little rose and my mother. Father was able to convince the council members of how a rouge demon had attack my mother while she was gathering herbs for her medicine. As my little baby Kurama, he told them exactly what he told me to lie about in the forest that night. That my child's mother was a clan princess from an ancient tribe that died from child birth and she was the sole survivor of that made up family.

The elders all sense the dominating aura Kurama possessed and all voted that he was other enough for our family. Father forced me to eat an Iris Blossom. It was to soak into my bloodstream so we could change the eye color of my son. If eaten whole his eyes that were once golden like his Fathers would turn to a deep sunflower yellow. I didn't eat the entire flower because eventually I wanted to tell Kurama someday about the true identity of his father and wanted proof of it. I ate enough of the rose to let it last for as long as he was young. Come the time of his maturity they would change back to the golden hue of my past love.

Since the death of my little rose, maternal instinct kept me from allowing anyone to handle my child. Kurama stayed with me every single moment of the day. Wherever I went he was there latched onto my tunic. I growled at anyone who tried to come to close to my infant. I was too fearful that the slightest mistake could take his life and I couldn't bare it a second time. He was all I had now.

Later this evening the sun set on my son and I as I rubbed his tiny back trying to sooth him down for his nap. He'd just finished nursing so I laid him by my side in my bed to ease away today's stress. He was a pleasant child. He'd only cry when I left his eye sight and whimpered when he was hungry. He wasn't too worrisome for my attention but I gave it anyway.

"Shhh… sleep little Rama. Sleep." I whispered as his baby whimpers silenced down to an easy peep. "That's it my love. Go to sleep. I'm here." Soon sleep overtook my son's stubborn willpower to stay awake and he closed his eyes to rest.

Like me Kurama was in the nude lying in bed. I thought the baby kimonos were constricting for his limbs but I allowed socks to be placed on his hands and feet to prevent any self-inflicted scratches with his growing claws.

After putting him to sleep I eased away from the bed to get his baby pillow. My pillows were too thick and I wanted something extra soft for him, so I made my own with extra fluff. I tip toed over to his side and nervously pushed the pillow under his resting body. There now. He was somewhat safe. As far as safe could get I suppose. I remember being told once that vixens went through a nesting stage during and after pregnancy. I assume that was what I did since every single pillow and quilt in the castle was in my now crowded chambers. I had Kurama centered in the middle of it all. His homemade fortress gave me some reassurance that he wouldn't fall off the bed while I prepared for my wash.

Suddenly a firm knock brushed on the door. "No, no, no, no." I whispered turning in time to see my child, make a quiet peep. Damn he was awake now. Curses I snapped. Whoever was at the door was going to get an eyeful because I wasn't putting on any clothes. I'd been dying to take a wash all day since my son prevented me from having my normal three a day.

Stomping mad, I snatched the door open and gasped. "Father?" I cowered back not wanting to meet his hardened gaze. I was an Omega after all. It wasn't my place to look in his eyes.

"Manners Kazo. Aren't you going to let me in?"

"Y-yes of course." I eased the door back letting him step inside. From time to time my father would come in to see how my son was maturing. He was somewhat pleased to have an Alpha grandson unlike his worthless Omega child.

"Ahh he's growing very nicely my son."

"Yes he is." I noticed right then that my father wasn't dressed in his normal royal tunic. Strange for him to be casually dressed in his bathrobes.

Kuro went through the towers of pillows and peeked over to see my little Kurama wiggle and playing with his tail. "Ah a fine babe he is. A fine babe indeed."

Now I was feeling concerned. Father's never complimented my child with such an affectionate praise.

"Kazo don't you think it would be wise to give a playmate for Kurama to play with?"

The flash of my little rose falling to his death flickered in my mind. "No. I don't think he needs another playmate. He's fine just being with me." I mumbled quietly cupping my hands before me.

"True but what if we gave him one?"

I twitched. "I don't understand."

Lord Kuro turned to face me with his stern eyes softening into a pale blue. "Hn, I see." The thin white robes covering my father's robe suddenly dropped to the ground, showing off his flawless pale skin. "Kazo, I think that we should give Kurama the proper sibling he's owned." Kuro grinned licking his lips staring at the expand of my nudity.

"Father?" I was feeling apprehensive being in his presence. "I think it's time you left us alone. I-I need to put my son to sleep." I stepped to the side hurrying over to my bedding but a hand darted out latching onto my arm.

Kuro pulled my chest against his nude body, crushing our erections together. "Father no."

"Oh yes my son." Long claws combed through hair, going further down to my behind. "Ah very nice."

I pushed at his chest but he held me in place. He was still a great deal taller than I was. I was still maturing into my adulthood which put me at a greater disadvantage for defending myself. The cold feel of his hands scamming over my body made me shiver. "Father why?" I whispered trembling.

Kuro's lips kissed at the side of my temple and lower to my cheek until settling on my neck. I was so terrified of my Father I didn't know what to do. Why was he doing this to me? His own son? I couldn't believe this. My stomach was cringing from the disgust riling up inside. "Father let me go." I demanded in a shaky voice.

"Shh just submit to me and it won't hurt." He said licking on my throat.

"No I don't want to do this with you. Please let me go."

"Hn, you don't know what you want. You're still too young to understand the pleasures of life. It's the duty of your father to teach you such things. Besides you owe me?" He finished with a kiss on my shoulder.

"Owe you?" I shoved at his chest harder to get away but his grip became tighter. "What have I done to cause such an act?"

"You've caused the heir I so desperately desired for our kingdom! Because of you our clan could fall! You owe me by producing us another child!"

I was stunned. "Father you can't be serious? You want me to give you a child?"

One of his fingers trailed down my face. "Why yes my beautiful son. It is what you owe me after all."

"NO!" I screamed finally gaining my freedom from him. "I will not be used as a ploy for this disgusting advance. You have an heir. You can use Kurama as an heir. My son is of Alpha form."

"He is worthless to me as a filthy mutt! He is half Youko but he is also part Inu!" Kuro rushed over knocking us both to the ground with him on top. "Now be a good kit and give me what I desire!"

Suddenly a heard the heavy cling of something metallic being received. I looked over in my father's hand to see a dagger in his hand. "Father no!"

"You wish to deny your own flesh and blood? But you would sleep with a dragon and dog! Very well than you won't have anyone!" The blade came down at my neck but was stopped in time with my hands.

"You're mad!" I cried keeping the weapon at bay.

"I'm mad? Oh I'll show you madness!" The blade was snatched from my hand as Father stood up grabbing me by my hair. "You think you're so beautiful don't you? You're nothing but a worthless whore who sleeps around with whoever is available!"

"No I don't! Unhand me!"

Kuro brought the blade to my throat. "You're a disgrace to this family. So you think that I'll just let you go to go out making more of those abominations? I think not! I'll make sure no one touches you again!"

Then he did something I knew would change my life forever… "FATHER PLEASE— AGHHHH!" The most horrific punishment to commit to any known male species was done in my very room that evening. I watched in the slowest motion as the knife came down toward my front and cut my only means of pleasure away from my body. The sickening thumb of my member hitting the floor echoed as loud as the sounds of my pain filled screams.

But he wasn't done. No far from it. The blade once again came to slash across my backside cutting a deep gash in my buttocks. "YOU'LL NEVER BE TOUCHED AGAIN!" Came the crazed growl of my father as he dropped me to the floor in a pool of my own blood.

Wahhhhh!

"You!" Kuro growled toward the crying infant on the bed. "I don't need you or your disgraceful father. I'll produce my own new set of kits and have them rule this kingdom the way it should be." He stalked over to the edge of the bed looking down at the small tiny body in the center crying helplessly. The dagger was raised high in the air, prepared for the cold murder of his grandson…until…

"BAMBOO STRIKE!"

The entire room exploded in a horded of demonic stalks of bamboo tearing through the floors, piercing all the master wanted destroyed. A slow thump of a knife signaled that I'd hit my target. Kuro was struck from every direction with the tall plants sucking away his blood. I trembled from the burning pain of my own body but I heaved it as best I could toward my crying child. The loud commotion brought the castle guards and servants to my room.

"Your highness what has happened?" One of the soldiers said as he came to pick me up in his arms.

There was no point in telling the truth. They didn't need to know all that transpired here. So I made up a lie that a crazed demon and invaded my quarters trying to attack my child and how Father tried to save him but was caught by the demon's attack. I said I tried to help him but the demon torn away at me slashing my bottom and my sex. It was pathetic for me to make up such a lie but I was still in a state of shock. Once again in my life I was forced to commit a crime against my will. I killed the head master of the House of Rose in exchange for the life of my mix breed son…And I would do it all over again.

A couple of the servants worked their way through the bamboo retrieving my child and quickly taking him to the medic room. The demon holding me soon followed taking me to a healer.

When I arrived there the healers tried their best in trying to reconnect my dismembered sex but said it was beyond repair. As for the scar on my backside, it was far too deep to be healed fully. I chuckled bitterly at what my father had managed to compliance even in death. He has assured that no one would touch. No one would ever want me now. I was completely useless. How pathetic. It was as he wished…I would never perform for someone…or the other way around….who could ever love someone like that?

---

Days later I was declared the new ruler of the entire Youko Kingdom in the unexpected death of my father. Kurama was crowed the new upcoming prince for the kingdom in my place. I spoke out to the people how I would train to my best abilities to serve as their new king and to protect these lands with all my power.

It was a solid promise. I would train to my heart's content. I would become stronger, faster, better. No more being a weak a useless Omega. No I would be as strong as any Alpha to prove my worth. So I vowed to myself that very day that no matter what happened I would be the best of the best and to create an even better kingdom. One far better than the one ran by my deceased father.

During the ceremony y of the changing of crowns, I was greeted with the last two people I ever expected of seeing. Taisho and Ryuu had both came to attend the royal celebration.

InuTaisho asked if he speak with me privately and I agreed taking him out to the balcony. I was glad he wanted to speak to me alone…There was something I needed to take care of.

"Well how does it feel being king?" He asked trying to make small talk.

I smiled at his attempt. "It's fine. I've fitted into the position quite well."

"Hm, you always been such a bragger."

We shared a comforting laugh that we both missed hearing. A quiet silence feel between the two of us as we gazed at the other's bright eyes reminiscing about the love from so long ago. Taisho's hand came to grab the one at my side bringing it up to his lips to kiss. "Kazo, I…I wish…"

"No." I said shaking my head sadly. "It's best this way."

"But I'm still in love with you Kazo. I don't want to lose you."

I could feel my chest tightening as my eyes melted. "Taisho my feelings for you will never change. Not ever…" I eased up to stand in his face smile through the tears. I tip toed up breathing out my final three words, "I love you." Before kissing his handsome lips. He eagerly kissed me back not realizing that my lips were laced with a special poison used to erase the memories the master so chooses. And the ones I choose were those we shared romantically but our friendship he would always have. I loved him so very much. This was why I couldn't burden him with the horrible life I've lived. All of my sins, all of my shameful crimes and the forbidden child of our coupling…he didn't deserve any of it. He needed to start fresh with the princess he was engaged too. She would bare him the proper children needed for his lands. I would keep Kurama here with me and raise him on my own.

When we parted his eyes clouded in confusion. He blinked looking at me than at the current environment we were in and shook his head. "Hey Kazo, Uh…do you know why we're out here?"

I wiped away my tears before he noticed. "You silly fool. I brought you out here because you had too much to drink remember?"

Taisho frowned. "Oh right. I must've had a lot since I can't remember even drinking so much."

"Yes. I brought you out here before you could throw up on my floors."

"Oh thanks." He clamped a hand on my shoulder smiling the smile that was once reserved only for me. "You're a great friend." Then I watched the hand slide from my shoulder as he went back inside to enjoy the rest of the party.

It took all of my strength not to run in after him but I managed to hold my ground. This was for the best. Even though I knew I would never get over this, I knew that all I could offer at least was my friendship. Inside I would always love him and that's where it would always stay. Inside.

"I saw what happened."

I turned around to see Ryuu standing there looking as fierce and radiate as the demon lord he'd become a year ago. His once warm green eyes were now a chilled mint. "I saw everything."

I sighed turning my back to him. "Then you should know that it was best that he forgot."

"I'm not talking about that damned dog!" He spat venomously.

"What are you talking about?"

Ryuu stomped over with his aura roaring quietly. "I was there Kazo when you allowed your despicable father to murder our son."

My heart sunk when the horrid memory of my son's demise.

"I don't understand it." The dragon whispered harshly looking at my downcast head. "Did you hate me so much to not allow my son to live? Would you punish me so dearly for what I did?"

"No I didn't—"

"Yes you did! You watched as he threw our son over the cliff and did nothing!"

"You're wrong!" I cried turning around to face him. "I tried everything in my power to save him."

"You did nothing Kazo! If you did he would be here now along with the son you choose to live!"

I stood my ground to defend myself. "I did what I could Ryuukotsesui! I tried to save my child but I couldn't overpower my father! I didn't choose one kit over the other! I loved both my sons!"

Ryuu stared at me for the longest while as if studying me. Then he chuckled evilly. "Now I see. Everything makes sense now. I can sense it in your aura. Keh, no wonder I was attracted to you."

I froze.

He walked over until we were toe to toe. "You're a Beta aren't you? The smell of breast milk is reeking from your chest. Now everything is clear. You're the silver kit's mother aren't you? No wonder your parents wouldn't allow you near any Alphas. And here you are prancing around as if you're one of us." He laughed evilly. "How quaint indeed."

"What will you do dragon? Will you tell?"

"Ha, not a chance. No I'll keep your secret." Ryuu laughed heading back inside but turned to give me a final message. "But remember this…for the life of our murdered son, the status you're falsely claiming and the many other secrets I'm sure you're hiding…you'll owe me. And believe me I will collect on it soon enough." With that promised threat, he left me on there in my own cold silence. So it'd come to this too huh? I was now in debt to that wretch beast? Just to keep my secret at bay? What would my payment be? What could he possibly want from me? I have nothing of value.

I can't pleasure him, I can't do much of anything…I was just…me.

150 years later

"Ah Kazo you've finally made it!" Taisho bellowed loudly.

"Of course I did you fool. I want to see my god son."

"Yes of course. But let me see my own god child." Taisho took my tiny kit kissing him on his cheek. "How is my little pup doing today?"

Kurama giggled licking his god father's face.

Taisho laughed. "That's my boy. Come now. I want you to meet your little brother."

I followed after my happy go lucky friend into the medics chambers to the small bassinet where it was holding my new born god child. I peeked in over the edge and smiled happily. There nestled in a small red and white kimono was an Inu infant that was practically the spitting image of Taisho. He had his moon, his cheek strips and that stern expression. Just like his big brother. "Hello little kit." I greeted sticking my finger down to tease his cheek. "He's beautiful Taisho. What's his name?"

"His name is Sesshomaru."

"Very fine name him for him my friend. Very fine name."

Taisho paused. "You don't like it do you?"

"Nope."

"Than what would you have called him?"

"Yoko Kazo ll of course."

Taisho slapped a hand over his face. "You're hopeless."

We laughed happily as I reached inside to pick up the tiny bundle. "Hello little Sessho."

"His name is Sesshomaru."

"Oh shut up." I growled. "I know the boy's name." I rolled my eyes and looked down to see two golden eye blinking up at me. "Hello little one." I cooed wiggling my finger in his face.

Sesshomaru cooed back and reached out to grab ahold of my teasing finger bringing it to his mouth to suck on. I nearly melted from the sweet little baby in my arms that should've been my own. But that didn't matter. I would raise him as my own nonetheless regardless of the difference in blood.

Taisho came over holding Kurama in his arms so he could peek down at the tiny baby in my arms. "See your little brother Kurama?"

Kurama blinked looking down at the little pup. Sesshomaru looked over at the other child and blinked. Both of them just simply looked and blinked. Looked and blinked. Until…

"WAHHHHHHHH!"

Sesshomaru began to cry which triggered the signal for Kurama to begin crying as well.

Taisho and I shared a look and groaned. These two were going to be a pain we could already tell.

But I smiled thinking to myself, how I was looking forward to seeing it. I couldn't wait to raise my family.

But as I gaze down at my two little boys I still think about my little rose. Not a day will go by when I don't think of my precious little rose. And I know that I never will.

300 Years later

Things took a thing for the worst when the Great War began as a ploy by the dragons to try and take over the other kingdoms but we all held strong managing to keep them off.

The battle was tiresome and fierce but we stood strong and won. However the cost of war was pretty high. We all lost a good deal of our people. But my dear friend suffered the most at the loss of his beloved mate. She was killed during an ambush inside the castle while we were all out in battle.

Taisho mourned her death for a long while. But I stood by him giving as much comfort as I could which he was grateful for.

Not long after the recovery state began reports of Youko deaths began appearing in the strolls. During an outing I went out to find the person responsible for the numerous murders. However I was surprised to find the killer in the act of raping one of his victims in the forest.

There in the clearing was Taisho finishing off his most recent kill. His hips were steadily slamming into the dead demon grunting as if he were still living. My heart ached to see this animalistic side him which I hadn't seen in years. I knew that look all too well. He was looking for me. Regardless of the poison I gave him, somewhere inside he was still looking for me.

The reason for the murder of my more subjects was because of my past lover's need to find his long lost lover. Oh Inari why do you torment me so with all of these problems? Have I not suffered enough?

I looked at my friend contemplating on what I should do. If he was reported for being the one killing of these Youko then he could very well lose his kingdom and be taken out of the House of the Moon.

No I couldn't let that happen. Not to him.

So I did something I knew would have to go to my grave along with the rest of my secrets and bolted away…Inari please forgive me… Will I always be force to keep this secrets forever?

TBC: Thus is the end of Kazo's horrible past life. The poor guy has been through so much. He's been raped, lived a secret affair with an engaged lover, finds out he's an omega, gives birth to twins only to lose one, murders his father, and finds out Taisho is the one murdering all of those Youkos. *Sniffles…. And runs into the bedroom slamming the door* OH KAZO!
