Silver in the Moonlight

Chapter 7

Sitting me down on the bed she moved around in a whirlwind grabbing things. Placing bandages and what not on the bed she turned to me.

"I'll be right back." She spoke and whizzed out the door. Alright then

I looked around at the room it, the high vaulted ceiling had crystal and mirrors hung elegantly the glistened and sparkled on the light coloured wood I was assuming was maple.

The bed was positioned between large windows on the west wall and the east wall was decorated in a mural that covered to sliding doors.

The room was dark, curtains were closed. I slowly moved toward them and opened up the curtains and windows on either side of the bed.

Sunshine pooled in and a cool breeze moved in the room. The view was amazing the bedroom was in west and the forest stretched out before it.

Stepping up I walked toward sliding glass doors. Opening the curtains I walked out and breathed in the cool air. It was a small balcony , I turned and looked below there was a sharp drop straight to the forest. It would be at least a 100 feet.

Guess escape plan out the window was a bust. The white curtains billowed in the wind. A short pink cherry blossom was beside the balcony door.

A sitting table was situated a few feet away from the balcony door pillows and furs surrounded the table.

Turning back toward the bed, I looked out the bedroom door I was alone. They left me alone. I could leave.

I began to move toward the door making it to the bed before Akira came bumbling in.

Carrying ointments and clothes.She beamed a smile at me . "Someone will be up in a moment to fill your bath. Let's look at that bite first." I let myself be pulled by her.

Pulling down the haori she began to clean the wound. She had said she was of the Taisho bloodline, I had never heard of her before.

"Who are you?" Bluntly asking too tired to be beat around the bush.

"I won't hold it against you if you haven't hurt of me. I am Akira Taisho, the last woman of the bloodline." Smiling she spoke, wincing as she dabbed.

"Are you Sesshomaru's sister?" Asking as I closed my eyes and almost leaning onto her.

"No, no" She giggled."I am probably the closest thing that he has to a sister or he would painfully slaughtered anyone that spoke to him as I just did." She smiled.

"But you're a Taisho?"Questioning, Inu no Taisho only had two sons I knew of.

"Taisho is the name of our family. Our bloodline has been ruling the west for millenniums. Inu no Taisho means the great dog general. By right it was Sesshomaru's to take after Uncle Yuuto passed." She spoke with a solemn voice.

I had always assumed Inu no Taisho was their father's name but it made sense. " Sesshomaru's father was your uncle?" I asked

"Yes my father was the baby brother of Inu no Taisho, when my parents passed he took me in and raised me as his own." She smiled down as she dipped towel in the bowl the water a dark crimson.

Inuyasha had never talked about this family, it was always a sore subject for him. One that I would not broach with him if I did not need to. I wondered if he knew about Akira.

"Did you know about Inuyasha?" I asked looking up at her to see her reaction. She looked at me sadly.

"Yes I know,of Inuyasha. This will sting." She spoke as she dabbed ointment. A ladies came in with pails of water
