~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome watched as Akura chased after a butterfly, Kuro laying next to her, in an up right position.
Kagome absently began to stoke Kuro's head when the scent of ginger and rare fruit's assulted her senses. Kagome closed her eye's as Azuka dropped out of the tree's in front of her.
"I see you have a pup now of your own."
Azuka said, sitting down. Kagome nodded and opened her eye's.
"Speaking of pup's, when will you acknowledge your's?"
Azuka's honey gold eye's narrowed, Kagome smirked.
"You know the danger of that risk. If Shippou were to know that I am his mother, he would be in serious danger."
Kagome nodded.
"I know, if word get's out, Naraku could use him against you."
Azuka nodded.
"Exactly."
"So, what happened back then between you two anyway?"
Kagome had always been curious about the fox dog's past, and now that she had the chance to actually ask her about it, she wasn't going to pass it up.
Azuka ran her claws through her silver hair.
"Where do you want me to start?"
"Well how about this, I'll ask the question's and you fill in the blank's."
Kagome offered, stil petting Kuro's head while watching ehr daughter out of the corner of her eye's.
"Fine."
Kagome nodded.
"Who was your mother?"
Azuka smiled softly and closed her eye's.
"My mother.... Her name was Maya, she was the last of the Silver Fox tribe, it had been whipped out by a near by Owl clan. They had been taken off guard, and in the middle of the night. Anyway, she survived. An outcast of the Owl tribe took her in, trained her and tainted her soul. Maya was trained for one purpose, find Inutousho, the up-coming leader of the White dog's."
Azuka looked at the sky as she remembered the story her mother had told her before vanishing.
"When she completed her training, the owl demon cast a spell on her whomb, magickally forming a fetis. Hiding it's scent Maya made a pact with Inutousho. He had lost some sort of bet, and he had to sire her first born. Well, Inutousho fell in love, where as mother was only in it for the ultimate poewr a demoness can gain with motherhood. Still having a peice of her heart, she couldn';t break Inutousho's, and so sired him another pup, Sesshomaru. By this time, the owl demon had started looking for my mother, so she left. We never saw her again."
Azuka finished, Kagome stared at her, then nodded.
"What's the story behind Inutousho and Inuyasha's mother?"
Azuka shrugged.
"Not sure, I was around a hundred when father fell for the mortal, Sesshomaru however, was only around 75. I left the summer before Kara, Inuyasha's mother."
Kagome nodded.
"I was hot-headed and killed anything that dare oppose me in battle, that's when I met Naraku."
"Naraku was alive back then?"
"Not in the way your thinking."
Azuka said, sa her tail flicked into her lap, the demoness began to play with the soft fur's as she stared off into space, re-living her memeory's.
"Back then, Naraku was a full demon. He was maybe a hundred years older than me. He look's the same as he does now. We mated, became lover's so to speak, but thing's changed. His blood-lust exceeded my own, so we fought. It was the only time we did, and it was deadly. I nearly died, and I found he had died from his wound's shortly after."
Kagome soaked in the information, knowing this was her only chance to know anything about the demoness before her.
"Well, turn's out, before he died, he cast a spell on himself. Almost 30 years later, a human was born with a peice of Naraku's reincarnated soul. I folowed him around, Naraku's soul influenced the human into becoming a theif, sulleing his soul, and turning it black. When he was burned alive, ad Kikyo found him. Naraku called the dmeon soul's to him, re-creatinghimself so to speak."
"Ok, so where does Shippou fit into all of this?"
Kagome asked, watching her daughter again, Kuro had moved his head into his masters lap and was snoring contently.
"The 30 years that naraku was gone, I met a brown fox named Shiko. I mated with him and thought I had found a place for me, and a fmaily I could live and die with. Well, coming back from a hunting trip, I found my den destroied and my pup's gone. That's when I first saw your Kagome, with my son."
"You mean you saw what happened with the Thunder brother's and you dind't try and stop them?"
Azuka nodded, looked at Akura and smiled softly.
"I thought that so long as Shippou dind't remember me, he would be safe. He had you now. I mourned for my lost mate and pup's, but I saw it coming, but I was still young. It wasn't until after that did I start acting my real age."
Azuka joked. Kagome smiled and leaned against the tree.
"So, what's her name?"
"Akura."
Azuka smiled.
"It's beautiful."
Both women knew how Akura came to be, Azuka acceted it with a frown, but accepted it anyway. It wasn't Akura's or Kagome's fault.

Inuyasha sat up in his tree, Kikyo asleep soundly in his arm's. Kagome was back, his angel was back, but yet once again un-touchable. She wa sonce again in his reach, but he couldn't touch her. Kikyo once again stood in his way.
Tightenig his hold, as if the preistess herd him, he looked down at her.
He loved Kikyo, he had always loved Kikyo, but Kagome came and changed allot of thing's.
"Inuyasha."
Inuyasha looked down to see his brother, he frowned and his ears pinned back.
"Come, follow me."
He said and turned. Inuyasha frowned and carefully arranged Kikyo without waking her and dropped to the gorund. He gently laid her down, than ran after his brother.
Once in the safety of the forest, Sesshomaru turned towards his brother.
"What do you want now?"
Inuyasha asked, crossing his arm's.
"Look, I know things have been tense between us-."
"Damn right it has! And in case you've forgotten, it was your fault!"
Sesshomaru nodded.
"I know. I brought you hre to apologize."
Inuyasha's eye twitched. The lord of the Western land's, his stuck up, self centered, bastard of a half brother was apologizing to him?
"Bullshit, why the sudden change of heart? You've alway's wanted me dead."
Sesshomaru smirked.
"Not so, Inuyasha, if i wanted you dead, you would be. Do you honestly think you could even compaire to my power? Even by a fraction?"
Inuyasha blushed and snarled.
"Fuck you Sesshomaru!! Why'd you let me win then?"
"I was simply testing you, your life has been nothing but one big test. I wanted to see if you are worhty of fathre's blood and fang. Even though it is true I wat the fang for my own, I realized long ago it wasn't meant for me."
"So you kept up this bullshit 'big bad brother' act just to 'test' me?! What the hell kinda shit is that Sesshomaru! I'm your brother for chirst sake's!"
Sesshomaru frowned.
"Half brother."
He corrected out of habbit, he didn't miss the look of hurt that flashed across the hanyou's eyes for a breif second.
"Accept my apology or not, it matter's little to me."
Sesshomaru said, walking back towards campe. He had just past his brother, who's head was down and his silver bangs covering his eye's.
"It matters to me."
Sesshomaru froze a step past his brothr, the air leaving his lung's. His eye's widened a fraction. He steeld himself and closed his eye's.
"Why? All I have done is made your life hell."
Inuyasha nodded.
"I know, you've done a damn good job. But, your my big brother Sesshomaru.... We're suposed to at least 'like' each other."
Sesshoamru opened his eye's.
"Not only that, little brother, demon sibling's are supposed ot be closer than a mate. Father and his brother were like that, until father's brother was killed. Father then became ot-headed and fucked anything that walked to help ease the pain and fill the whole in his heart. Kara, your mother, filled that whole. Just as father foujd peace, his life was ripped form him. Along with your mother's and your's."
Inuyasha listened, watching his brother with side eye's. Never had he herd Seshsoamru speak more than a few sentences, which consisted of manily threat's.
Not only that, but Sesshomaru was willingly telling him of their past, with no threat's.
"Your mother completed our father, and I ruined it. My hatred for human's, killed your mother and our father. It killed your future and mine."
"What happened?"
Inuyasha asked, looking at the ground. Sesshomaru stared at the forest before him.
"My mother, Lady Maya, also Azuka's mother."
"You mean that demoness?"
Inuyasha asked.
"Hai, she is our sister. She was won, in a bet that our father lost against Lady Maya. By the time Azuka was able to start her own territory, they had fallen somewhat in love. I was born, and Lady Maya gave up her life for father, me and Azuka. I ruined her plan by sealing a pact with the most vile demon's known to the world, which are now sealed in the seventh pit of hell."
Inuyasha frowned.
"The Four Hell Beast's?"
Sesshomaru nodded.
"I wanted your mother out of the picture, along with you. I told them, that if they killed a human woman and her un-born hanyou child, that I would hand them over the Western Land's. On the Eve of the attack, Maya gave birth to you, and I saw you. I immeditally felt a bonb, but ignored it the best I could. Nothing helped, I felt connected to you and I hated it. I went to the Hell Beasts to call it off, but it was to late, they had laready sent forward an attack, using an army of demon's to distract father and me, while they attacked the village where your and your mother waited. When father returned to tell Maya of the victory, he became furious at the wreckage, your mother somehow mangaed to escape with you, and father put her and you in the Western lands Castle. Fathered hunted down the four beasts and died, sealing them into hell. Furious, i cast you and your mother out, not caring how you fared."
Inuyasha nodded, shaking slightly as tears stung his eye's.
"I don't remember much, but I think my mother was a princess, I remember her always wearing beautiful layer's of kimono's and a large garden, and a shrine."
Sesshomaru nodded.
"Indeed, not only are you a prince in the demon world, but in the human world as well."
"You weren't just furious at me because of father's death were you?"
Inuyasha asked, turning to face his older brother.
"You were jealous."
Sesshomaru nodded, closing his eye's.
"Aa, I was. I admit it. Father carried you around with him everywhere, the great ladie's fawned over you and your ear's. Lords promised your their daughter's and you were constantly showered with gift's. Me nor Azuka had either, of course Azuka had already left by then, and hadn't herd of you yet."
"I'm sorry.... I... I don't want that attention, you can have it! I don't want it!"
Sesshoamru smirked.
"The chocie is not your's. It has already been etched in the scroll's, you are the next leader of the White dog clan."
Sesshoamru said slowly, turning and looking at the boy. Inuyasha stared at the older demon with amazement.
"No... No way!!!"

That's it for now! R/R!!!!
