The Truth

Note: Hey guys! I’m back! Sorry it took me so long to update. I’ve been busy & stressed, which being stressed prevented me from trying to see where this one was going, as well as the rest. I’m not totally sure about Souta’s Best Friend just yet but I’m pretty sure I found the spot where I can continue off of no problem. Now I had already started on this stories second chapter but alas, it was not meant to be, for my computer, sadly, crashed lol. So now I shall continue, & try to remember how it originally went. Please enjoy!

Chapter 2

‘Its been almost 15 years since then. 2 more months and it will be time to exact my revenge against those damned Inu’s.’ Kagome thought, tapping the tip of her index finger against her chin. ‘I wonder if they still remember that day? I know for a fact I do. I’ve craved for this day to come. Its finally here.’ She smirked, sending shivers down her co-worker, Sabbath’s, back.

“Excuse me, Lady Kagome. There is a woman here to see you.” He spoke up, hiding his fear of her underneath a tone of boredom. Sabbath was a young man, around the age of 22 with short, spiky red hair and blue sparkling eyes. Sabbath stood at a tall 6'5'’ and had a body that could warm any woman’s cold heart with just a glance. He knew he shouldn’t fear Kagome, for she had taken him off the streets years ago, given him a job, a home, food in his belly and clothes on his back. Yet, she had been strict, even teaching him how to fight properly, like in the Feudal times. He learned hand to hand combat as well as sword fighting, how to make poisons and tonics, and of the ninja’s way. He was grateful to her, but he was also still scared of her.

She gave her attention to the young man, her features softening slightly. “Ah thank you Sabbath. Have you eaten yet today?” She asked, her voice gentle. He shook his head in the negative and she clucked her tongue disapprovingly. “Very well then. How does Chinese sound?”

“Oh. Actually, I’ve been craving that lately. How do you always know?” He asked, smiling at her when she chuckled in mystery.

“How do I not always know?” She questioned, laughing when he sighed and shook his head. “Alright, send her in and I’ll call you when its time for lunch. Be careful, I can tell something’s going to happen today, I just can’t figure out when.” She said, watching with slightly narrowed eyes as he left, telling the visitor that Kagome was ready to see them.

Kagome had repress a growl of frustration when her worst memory walked into the room and shut the door behind them. Apparently this is the thing that’s suppose to happen today.

“Good afternoon, Lady Kagome.” The woman sneered, flashing her fangs in challenge.

“Izayoi. How...unexpected.” Kagome spit out, her voice cold and uncaring. “What can I do for you?”

“Drop the niceities.” Izayoi said, smiling. “You and I both know why I’m here.”

Kagome raised a brow in question, standing up from her comfortable office chair to sit on the corner of her cherry wood desk. “I think your english needs some work, my Lady. Did you come here for some lessons?” Kagome asked, speaking perfect and fluent english.

“Stop that. Everyone knows I don’t understand other languages.” She said, thinking it was a good thing as she straightened her back in arrogance.

Kagome crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. ‘What a sad, pitiful being she really is. Oh how the mighty have fallen.’ She thought, trying to understand how the Inu no Tashio put up with her on a daily basis. She shook her head in dismay. ‘Alas, I will never understand how Toga has survived all these years with her.’ “Speak your piece and leave before I personally haul your disrespectful ass out of my office.”

Izayoi narrowed her eyes at the young woman and was about to yell at her, when she noticed the spark of power that danced in Kagome’s unusually blue eyes, eyes that seemed to have their own inner glow, so she stopped her retort before it had a chance to leave her mouth. Instead, she cleared her throat and said, “I want you to give up the ridiculous thing you call revenge. I won’t let you touch my husband, nor my son.”

A roar of rage was ripped from Kagome’s throat as her now clawed hand wrapped itself around Izayoi’s neck, lifted her off of her feet, and held her against the wall with inhuman strength. “You dare challenge me!” Kagome rasped out, her fangs elongated past her lower lip, almost touching her chin.

Sabbath rushed in at the unknown sound, shocked out of his mind at what he saw his foster mother doing. “Kagome!” He shouted, hoping to distract her. It didn’t work.

“You seem to think, Izayoi, that I would listen to you after what you and the damn Tashio’s did to me and my mate? All three of you damn whelp’s set him up. Now I’m going to bring all of you down from your high horses and nothing is going to stop me.” Kagome growled out in Inu before dropping the woman to the ground and stalking back to her desk. She turned the intercom on and barked out, literally, “Get this damn vermin out of my office now! Before I slit her throat. I know your there InuYasha. I want you and your mother out of here!”

An angry male, looking about Kagome’s age, burst in through the doors, his eyes red after taking a look at his shaking mother. “Bitch!” He snarled, leaping at her with his claws extended.

Kagome lifted two fingers up and snapped her arm across her body, making a whip appear and swat InuYasha away like a fly. He landed on his back with a heavy thud, making Izayoi growl in anger. Suddenly, Kagome had the two by the collar of their shirts before disappearing into thin air, leaving behind a shocked and confused Sabbath.

She reappeared in an alley next to her building before throwing the struggling two away from her and towards the end of the ally way. "I ask only this of you and your Lord. Do not come any where near me for the last 2 months that there is of my training to over throw you. I do not wish to see you and if I do, I will be forced to kill you two. I do not wish to do this for it would be against Demon Law and I don't want to be on the wrong side of it. Even what you two just did was against our law and I'm ashamed to see you two do this. I thought you had more honor than that but I see that I was wrong." Kagome finished before vanishing.

Kagome sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance. Now she had to explain to her son what just happened and what she really was. Then she looked towards her door and closed her eyes in agrivation. She had to fix her door too.

"Sabbath. When we leave for lunch, I will explain everything to you. For now just breath and blink." She spoke as she lifed up the oak doors from the floor and placed them against the door frame, using her telekinesis to put the bolts back up. She heard him take a deep inhale of breath and felt him blink before she turned to her desk. Kagome switched on the intercom and told her assistant that she was going out to lunch and to hold all her calls until she was back.

"Very well Mi'Lady. Have a nice lunch." Merill Said, her voice gentle and full of understanding.

"You as well darling." Kagome turned the intercom off and motioned for Sabbath to approach. When he was next to her, she took his hand and they were sunddenly gone.

"I know this is your favorite restraunt Sabbath so I'm taking you here. Which means we'll be late for work, but we would be anyway since the story I'm about to tell you will take longer." She said, walking up to the manager and bowing. "Good afternoon Chong. Is our spot open today?" She spoke perfect Chinese, making Chong smile and bow in return.

"Of course my Lady. We hardly ever let anyone else sit in that booth." He replied, leading them to the corner booth in the back, away from prying eyes and ears.

When they sat down and ordered what they wanted to drink, Kagome took a deep breath and began. "Centuries ago, human kind had rulers. Not human rulers, my Dear, but demon rulers. Most demon rulers despised humans and treated them as slaves. But, there were very nice Lords, who treated humans and demons as equals. Those rulers were hard to find. When America came to our lands with gun powder and metal trinkets that could kill even the strongest demon with one shot, the demons who had hated the humans were the first to go. After they took out those demons, they left their lands and started turning the others against the nice rulers.

"Everything went down hill from then on. I was the Princess of a lowly land owner and I was very human, Sabbath. I was wounded in all the fighting, as my family would not believe that our ruler, Lord Inu No Tashio, would ever hurt or betray us. So, concieved as traitors to our kind, we were whipped, tortured. My father died, my mother later on. I didn't have any siblings, thank the kami, so I didn't have to worry about that. But I had to worry about what the men who had killed my family had wanted to do with me." She paused in her story, clenching her eyes shut against the memories of the long forgotten past. She took a sip of her water, ordered her food and waited till the waiter left before continuing.

"They raped me, sold me as a slave, and not the kind of slave that takes care of crops either. A slave that takes care of the needs of man. A last surviving Kitsune demon found me when I had tried to escape and I pleaded with him to save me, to hide me for I had not wanted to go back. I could hear my owners voice echo around the trees. He had some how gained on me very fast. I was a Miko, a very powerful one, so I was able to hide my scent from any of the dogs that they had owned. Some how some way, that man had followed me without a problem.

"The Kitsune had taken pity on me, for even though he was a demon, he hated to see a respected and powerful Miko be disgraced. Him and his family cared for me as best of their ability but I had lost a lot of blood from fighting my owners. Eventually they decided to make me one of their own by giving me some of their blood. That is how I became a MikoYoukai. The most powerful and well known MikoYoukai to ever have been born on this earth. I had to leave though. I have to go and take care of some of the lands under his rule. I found out that not all the demons had been removed from power, but instead they hide under concealment spells, looking like humans.

"I was well trained by then. Nobody could burt me. I could adapt to any poison that was put in my blood stream and I could hide in little to no shadows. The Kitsune who had saved me was a very unique breed of Kitsune. He was a shape shifting demon, and we can use anyones powers after we take their shape once. The whip I had used earlier was from an Inu demon.

"You have heard the rumors, have you not? The corporation that I am running, is not mine. It is my mates. My Beloved Sesshomaru Tashio."

Sabbath sat there, slowly eating his food and taking everything in. So the stories he has read are all true. The myths, the legends. All of it. Then Kagome took another deep breath and told him of what had happened between her and her mates family and where Sesshomaru really was.

Evenutally he snapped out of his musing and smiled at her. "I'm glad I know now. I had been wondering what you were hiding from me. Now I feel like your son, truely."

She smiled back at him and held his hand before her eyes drifted over his shoulder and on to somebody that made her eyes light up like the stars in the darkest part of the night.

"Sesshomaru!"
