See! I told you that I would update soon! So here's another chapted. Please read and review!


Rain drops slithered down her face, mixing in with the tears that slowly trailed down her face. 'Why… Why did they all lie to me?' She placed her feet into the chilling water of the lily pond and gazed down sadly at her reflection. A young broken woman stared back. She glared at her reflection and angrily batted at hand at the water, destroying her reflection. She returned her gaze up at the moon, and in its reflection she could see the one who had betrayed her the most. "Sesshomaru… Why have you betrayed me…"

At the battle front

The weather had changed drastically. Rain poured from the heavens, almost as if it was mourning for the destruction of the land and the deaths of the soldiers. Lightening filled the sky illuminating the bodies of rotting and mutilated bodies of fallen soldiers, both human and youkai.

There he stood atop Ah-Un, blood and dirt smeared across his body and clothes. He continued slashing haphazardly at the many demons surrounding him and his men. They were being out numbered and he didn't know how much longer his men could hold out. His muscles screamed in protest as he continued slashing left and right and over and over again. Every time he killed one it almost seemed like five took the place of the fallen demon. He gritted his teeth in frustration as he battled against common sense and his sense of pride. He closed his eyes in irritation and shouted out into the night.

"Retreat! Fall back to the fortress and regroup there! Carry as many wounded back as you can!"

His troops looked at him uncertainly as if surprised that their general would actually tell them to retreat, but they obeyed his orders none the less.

'I need to think of another plan,' he gazed at the massive army that was celebrating their victory as he and his troops retreated, 'or else we will die.'

As he strode through the camp he gazed wearily at his troops. Many were splayed out on the ground. Most were either wounded or exhausted from the fighting. He wrinkled his nose as the smell of death and decay were overwhelming everywhere around him. He stared disdainfully at the new batch of troops that had just arrived. Many of them were very young and he was surprised to see that most of them had never been in a war. 'So now they send me worthless pups and expect me to be able to bring them safely back home from the war?' He snorted at them as the flinched when he looked them directly in the eyes with disdain.

He looked to his left to see the human troops tending to their wounded and writing letters to their loved ones. Youkai were not as open with their emotions and close to their mates as humans were. He noticed that Lord Higurashi was striding towards him with his own generals. Both he and the lord bowed deeply towards each other.

"Ah Prince Sesshomaru," his eyes twinkled with amusement as he gazed at Sesshomaru's new troops, "I see that you have new troops to add to your platoon."

Sesshomaru smirked. "Indeed I do."

Lord Higurashi smiled and gestured to his tent. "We are about to hold a strategic meeting to discuss tomorrows battle plans. Please gather your generals quickly and meet us in the tent."

Sesshomaru bowed low, nodded his head, and turned to gather his generals for the meeting.

Back at the palace

She walked around her room randomly walking form place to place. 'Who am I really? Where did I come from? Who are my true parents?'

She gazed at the moon, tears welling in her eyes again, threatening to spill. 'No I refuse to cry anymore!' She took a deep breath and withheld her tears.

Naraku watched her inner turmoil from the fountain and smirked "The time has finally come for you to meet me." He gazed at her greedily. "I have waited for this moment for so long."

From his hands flowed a dark purple mist that slowly seeped into the fountain and into her room.

She didn't notice the intoxicating fumes that began to slowly fill her room as she felt her eye lids become heavy. She gazed drowsily at the moon one last time before collapsing on the floor into a deep sleep.
