Sesshomaru looked down at his sword and then looked at is left arm. It has been a week since he gained them after over coming and letting go of his attachment to his father.

He thought back to the day that he and his hanyou brother fought and remembered how he would have died from the adamant with miasma in his back. By all rights he should have just let him died but couldn't now.

The little human girl, Rin has taught him much ever since he found her and took her in.

As he looked up at the clouds he thought of Inuyasha and gave a deep sigh. He didn't hate him anymore and wondered if he ever truly hated him in the first place. Truth be told he had a lot of very admiral qualities that he had escaped to notice before.

Bakusaiga pulsed hotly at his side making him wince.

A green light emerged from his sword blinding him and engulfing him.

"I'm heading home Inuyasha! I'll be back when my exams are done" Kagame called out, hosting her backpack to her shoulders.

"Fine...I'll walk you to the well. God knows you're a magnet to trouble woman" he huffed at her getting up to walk towards her.

He clutched his gut as a sharp pain engulfed him. He dropped to his knees so suddenly that Kagome cried out his name but before she could reach him a barrier of green light surrounded him

"What the hell? ! What is happening to me?!" the pain was so intense that all he could go is stay as still as possible and hope that whatever the hell was wrong would pass.

"Inuyasha... "

He frowned.

"I know this voice" he looked up and gasped. There stood the ghostly apparition of his long deceased father

"Dad?" Inuyasha called out, wondering if he was dying and his father was there to take him to where he was.

"Listen well Inuyasha, the time has come for your true form to be released"

"What are you talking about? " the silverette hissed as another sharp pain almost lifted him off the ground "What true form?!"

"Sesshomaru has let go of his hate for both you and the human race. I knew a long time ago that the influence of his mother had poisoned his mind, making him narrow minded in his beliefs. So when you were born a very ancient and powerful spell was casted upon you hiding you from him....his true lifemate. Until he deemed himself worthy I would not allow for you Inuyasha...my daughter to be claimed by him"

Inuyasha's body stiffened. Did he just--

"What DAUGHTER?!" He's a male! He has all of the right 'parts' for being a male too! He couldn't understand what his father was talking about...he was just crazy. Maybe he was having some a dream, a nightmare.

"Listen to me Inuyasha. Haven't you ever wondered why even as a male you are exceptionally beautiful?" His father continued.

"Ever wondered why even that wolf prince haven't tried to kill you...even though you travel with a female that he desires? A part of him is drawn to you...as with every other male. We had to hide you from all other male demons to insure your safety until Sesshomaru could grow up and learn this lesson on his own"

Inuyasha refused to believe any of this crap coming out of his father's mouth.

"Our blood line is of royalty, our race is powerful and rare....we are dying out. When you were born...even as an infant you had such beauty my darling that we had to lock away your soul in a male body to insure that you wouldn't be raped and forced to submit to some other demon that is not your lifemate"

"Even if--even if what you're saying is true and I accept it--which I do not! -- how do you expect Sesshomaru to accept me? He hates me! " the half demon growled.

"He will accept you... " his father insisted.

"Once this spell is lifted hid until your brother comes for you. He will guard you for now on, and don't under any circumstances let another male see you. If they do, they will be driving crazy with lust for you, your beauty is both a curse and gift my lovely one. Now...I release you"

"Wait! No! " Inuyasha lunged at his father, arms stretched to reach him

But too late....

He faded leaving the silverette to wither in pain as he felt his--her organs reshape and her body resize

"My son"

He looked behind himself to see an image of his long dead father standing before him

"What is this?" Sesshomaru demanded, narrowing his eyes in distrust.

"Calm your self Sesshomaru. I am merely a recording that was locked with in Bakusaiga, I come to give you a message. Go find Inuyasha"

The demon gave a small snort that was very undignified but none than less expressed what he thought about the message.

"Do you still hate your brother?"

"I do not..but why must I go be by his side?"

"You need heirs, you need to keep the blood line alive Sesshomaru. As Lord you must realize this"

He frowned at his words and shuddered at the prospect of taking another male as a mate.

"I hate to point out the obvious father ...but Inuyasha is male, therefore...can't produce heirs" he told him dryly, his temper flaring just a bit

"That is where you are wrong" his father smiled, looking smug "When Inuyasha was born you were still hell bent to surpass me in power and hated the idea of his human blood. I knew that you had a lot of growing up to do before you could ever surpass me in power...part of that failure lied in your unjust revulsion towards the human race"

Sesshomaru flinches at his words, not understanding where he was going with this and what it had to do with his half breed brother.

"Inuyasha was placed under a spell when she was born to hide her from both you and other male demons"

Sesshomaru's grew wide at the revelation. Surely this is some sort of joke?

"Don't look so surprised...although I know you are not going to be happy when I tell you the rest"

"The rest? " Sesshomaru growled.

"Because of your stupidity" Sesshomaru flinched "I decided to hide her....she was born to be your lifemate. I didn't want her to be turned into a cold and uncaring bitch like your mother...no I wanted her to have a happy life, I knew when I gazed upon your sister that she would be a beauty with out rival so I made a pack with a Kami and placed a spell on her to seal her soul inside a male body"

"Inuyasha is your lifemate Sesshomaru, and the great Kami-sama has acknowledged this"
