Time was different in the feudal Era from the present. As the snake yoaki walked through the rip in time he sighed shaking his head. He had done all he could to help the two find what they were suppose to. He knew of Satara’s treachery and deceit to Lord Sesshomaru. He could not tell him of what he knew though; only Satara could be the one to break the wells seal. He could’ve easily taken the two girls with him through the rip accept they would age until they were nothing but bones and dust blowing in the wind. He could only stand by and hope the course of fate and the two females figured the puzzle out and corrected the grave errors created by the evil Inu-Witch.

Approaching Inuyasha he bowed slightly at the waist. “Itsss done I can do no more”

Inuyasha nodded, a frown touching his features. “I hope it’s enough.” He shook his head with disgust and frustration. “I know already Kagome must be devastated over Miroko and Sango’s fate. Even though they were not wed him and Sango loved each other enough. I am truly sorry that Sango died before her child could even take a breath”

Listening to the Hanyou the snake sighed. “Ssssessssssshomaru could not even bring them back with hisss sssword. I doubt Ssssango even knew ssshe wasss with child when the Bear Yoaki tore her down. Miroko wasss brave fighting for her even as he took hisss dying breath”

Shortly after Kagome had disappeared through the well with Rin the village had been attacked by a powerful Bear Yoaki the creature had traced the Shikon’s energy to the village. Enraged when it realized the jewel was gone it had gone on a rampage. Inuyasha had returned in time to slay the bear but not in time to save his two friends lives. Kadaee had even erected a barer with her weakened miko powers to try and prevent further deaths.

Knowing Kagome was gone he had written it down on a scroll and gave it to the snake Yoaki to place in Sesshomaru’s library. Knowing when the yoaki showed the girls the key they would find it.

*********************************************************************

Nine Month’s Later Feudal Era:

Satara had suffered through nine month’s of torment and anger, she had been pampered treated like a princess but only because she carried Sesshomaru’s heir. None of the servants ever left her alone for more then a split second. They knew if anything happened to the child Satara carried they would pay dearly for the mishap. Sesshomaru himself only came to check in on Satara from time to time occasionally listening to the child as it swam in the fluids of Satara’s womb. He knew just by scent the child would be a male, not conceived by love but by force and hate.

Sitting in his study Sesshomaru was going over scrolls, he had sent word that soon the Western land would have a new Heir many Yoaki of high status had sent gifts and best wishes. Many even wished to join forces with Sesshomaru. They would rather be on the stronger side then forcefully over thrown when Sesshomaru and his son went on the hunt.

“Lord Sesshomaru!” Jaken rushed into the room. “It’s time!” He squawked.

Sesshomaru looked up, quickly rising. Rushing past Jaken knocking the toad over in his haste to get to Satara’s room. He had been waiting for days for the news of Satara’s labor to begin. At the door he was rudely stopped by the midwives aid. “My Lord you can’t go in now, Satara’s is in labor. It could upset her and possible affect the birthing process”

Sesshomaru would’ve gladly knocked the woman aside but he hesitated knowing in a way she spoke the truth. Instead he did what most expectant fathers did while they awaited the birth of their child. He paced back and forth. Ears straining forward as his golden eyes glanced occasionally to the door. Waiting to hear the screams of a child taking it’s first breathe.

He heard screams of pain being muffed the Midwife telling Satara to push. He smelled blood and then something that made his heart wrench painfully in his chest. Pain mixed with suffering, something was not right. Finally silence greeted him, it seemed like hours went by before he heard it. Sounds he had been waiting for the scream of a child. Now he could not be stopped, he barreled into the room. Moving to the bed where Satara lay holding his son. The child was beautiful, on his forehead a very faint pale crescent moon mark the other marks of his heritage would appear later on in life as he matured.

Glancing up Satara clutched the child closer to her breast, staring up to Sesshomaru with wide eyes. She knew he wouldn’t let her nurse the child. He would take him to a wet nurse. “Sesshomaru please find it in your heart to at least let me hold him for a few minutes before you taking him from me”

Sesshomaru paused, staring down to Satara. He was cold, cruel and some even claimed his heart was made of solid ice but hearing the request he balked. If Rin had been there she would let Satara hold her own child even for a short time. “You can nurse him for the time being” He then turned looking at the midwife and the assistant who stopped his entrance. “Your services are no longer needed” Upon being dismissed the midwife and assistant gathered there belongings bowed in respect and left the room.

Satara had been surprised when Sesshomaru said what he had. After all she had done to Rin he was granting her time with the babe. Someplace deep down in her cold heart something warmed if only a fraction. After Sesshomaru took the babe she would find a way to break the wells seal even if she did not have her powers. It was the least she could do for Sesshomaru giving her a fraction of time with the life she held so tenderly in her embrace. “Thank you Sesshomaru, thank you so much” Tears were coursing down her cheeks as she cuddled the child tenderly.

Sesshomaru ignored the thanks, leaving the room quickly. He already had a wet nurse ready to take the child. Her own daughter had been lost at birth; she would give his son plenty of milk until he was to be weaned. At the entrance of the room he paused, doing something uncharacteristic of the Ice Prince himself. “Your welcome” Then he was gone.

Satara was in awe of the child; his eyes were open looking around taking everything in with a clear intelligence. Already newly born he was strong, tiny legs flailed in the air. Mouth open as he let loose with a lusty wail of hunger and demand he was indeed the child of Sesshomaru. Taking the pup to her breast she offered one nipple, eyes closing in bliss as the pup began to suckle. One tiny fist kneading at his mother’s breast to further increase the supply of milk.

Slithering into the room the snake Yoaki that had been told to sap Satara’s power approached the bed. Gazing down to the child before looking to Satara. “The Lord wass generousss to allow you time with the child”

“I know” Satara whispered, averting her gaze from the powerful deadly Yoaki.

He slithered around the other side, getting a better look. “Will you ssstill keep the well sssealed and prevent him from ever finding hissss beloved”

Her eyes snapped up, staring at the yoaki with fear and surprise. “You know about the well? Why didn’t you tell him what I did?”

Laughter rang from the creatures mouth, it sounded like nails being scraped viciously across a chalk bored. “Do you think me a fool Ssssatara I know everything you have done I am nice enough not to tell our lord of your deceit to him if I give you enough power to break the ssseal will you do sssoo”

Cringing as she heard the laughter, she shifted away from the horrible yoaki. “I will gladly break the seal. Sesshomaru was kind enough to allow me time with my child. Even if it is for such a short period I was a jealous fool to prevent him from having happiness in his life”

Nodding the yoaki withered in pleasure, finally this Inu-witch was realizing her error. “Good, I can not give you the powersss back but with your help we can break the ssseal and our Lord will never know unlessss Rin tellssss him”

Satara again nodded. Glancing down to her now sleeping pup, her eyes grew tender and warm. “Can you leave us now I’d like to spend what time I have left with him alone”

Nodding the snake yoaki slithered from the room. He looked up and smiled to Sesshomaru giving a nod. Of course Sesshomaru knew about the well being sealed and how Satara had played a part in it. He had naturally wanted to kill the witch bitch on the spot but she was already heavy with his child, so he could do nothing accept wait. “Itssss done my lord” He slithered past Sesshomaru, now it was once again a sad waiting game.

*********************************************************************

Nine Years’s in the Present:

They had pooled over the scrolls trying to find more answers but they couldn’t find anything. Once of the scrolls the last half was smeared beyond understanding. Finally they had just given up, Kagome had went to her mother finally explaining everything that had happened. Naturally she was understanding and welcomed Rin as if she was another daughter. Kagome had started collage and Rin stayed at the shrine cleaning it up and giving tours telling great stories of demons and miko priestesses. The visitors to the shrine never believed Rin, but they kept coming back to hear more of her great tall tales.

It was a Friday night Kagome had finished her homework and was taking a break from the headache of constantly studying. She and Rin had decided to get dressed up and go out clubbing. They were currently at a dance club named the Dirty Kitten. Music thumped as lights flashed and clashed together in the nightclub. On the dance floor Rin and Kagome twisted and shook their hips to the wild loud rock beat.

“This is GREAT” Rin yelled over the noise so Kagome could hear her.

“I know!” Kagome didn’t have to yell nearly as loud as Rin, with Rin’s sensitive hearing her words could be heard clearly even with the wax Rin had packed into her ears to keep from having a massive migraine after they left for the evening. Brushing sweaty strands of hair from her face Kagome started off the packed dance floor. “Im going to sit down!”

Rin just gave Kagome thumbs up, laughing when a rather handsome human came over to start bumping and grinding against her body. Time could heal any wound, but it never could fully heal the ache of forgotten love. Rin never forgave Sesshomaru for not finding some way to reach her, she had moved on with her life naturally. She had many boyfriends; they swarmed around her like she was a wild blooming rose in the middle of a field of daises. Never did she allow herself to get further then making out with any of them. Not wanting to lose her maidenhead to a clumsy mortal that only seemed to want one thing.

“Mind if I cut in” A low growling voice made Rin look up, her eyes widening slightly as she gazed into a pair of beautiful blue eyes. The boy she was dancing with waved his hand. “Find your own girl!” The man wouldn’t take no for an answer. His eyes narrowed and he seemed to growl, the boy grew pale as a sheet fright oozing from his pores. “She’s all yours man!” He quickly bolted through the crowd, leaving Rin to be pulled against the powerfully built young man.

As the music changed to a slower song, she was swept in closer. The man resting his hands lightly on Rin’s hips as he swung her around in slow circles his eyes never leaving hers. “You’re a wonderful Dancer,” He whispered. Rin was spellbound, this male was different from the rest she just couldn’t put her finger on it.

Kagome was enjoying a cold frothy beer, when suddenly she tensed. She sensed another Yoaki presence other then Rin’s. Glancing around the packed club her eyes skipped over her friend and the one she was dancing with before snapping back to focus. Her miko energy charged through out her body as she quickly started to shove through the crowd. Ignoring the rude outbursts from other couples. “Rin!”

Hearing her name someplace far away, Rin shook herself out of her daze glancing over to Kagome confused. “Huh?”

Elbowing closer to the couple, Kagome reached out grabbing the man’s arm. Her energy flaring violently as it burned the arm. Hissing the man released Rin, quickly jerking away eyes flickering to a violent golden yellow.

The spell over Rin was broken, she could see through the human disguise like a pane of clear glass. Her handsome ‘Human’ was indeed a yoaki! But Rin was confused he looked exactly like Sesshomaru accept for the markings that adorned his body “Sesshomaru?”

He growled violently, shooting Kagome a deathly stare before he quickly disappeared. Racing through the crowd faster then a human eye could follow. Only Rin could see him as the door to the club burst open then swung shut as if a breeze had caught it.

Kagome caught Rin’s arm, just looking at her friend before both girls quickly fled from the club. Even though Rin had whispered that name. Kagome had heard it clearly, she saw through the human disguise as well. Indeed the yoaki had looked like Sesshomaru but he was not. Something very strange was going on but neither knew what it was.

Bum Bum Bum! What's going on....who was that strange yoaki that looked like Sesshomaru...the next chapter holds all the answers..cross your fingers readers and hope My muse allows me to get another up!
