Part of For Her a Tribute to Priestess Skye

Satoru wandered around the complex. Though he had not been here in thirty years,it still looked much as he remembered

Why hadn't he been back? His childhood had been spent here. Born here. Sparred with Uncle Yasha until he had nothing left to learn.

Received his first sword here from his father. Gone on his first hunt here. His first battle. Unlocked his sword here. Found love and lost love when his mate died in his arms.

Learned what family was from Uncle Yasha and Aunt what separation meant from watching his mother and father.
His mother had been there for him. His father had only able to leave the front a handful of times. He treasured each of those visits.

Uncle Yasha might have been there for him,but he was no substitute for his father. He had never pretended to be. Even knowing that he was not Satoru's father, he had treated him just as if were one of his own children.

Satoru wandered over to the grave. It was just as he remembered it. Aunt Cho had maintained it all of these years. He needed to thank her for that. She had been his confidant when he first met Aya.

His mother and father wanted him to move on. They were always bringing candidates. Telling him that his responsibility to produce an heir in case something should happen to him.

The truth was that he was not ready to move on. Aya had been his first love Thirty years was not enough time to wash away lost Aya forgive him if he moved on?

He looked at the sun. His mother reminded him to come to the dojo when sun was setting in the for his reunion with Uncle Yasha and Aunt Cho Inuyasha came to the palace occasionally, but Cho he has not seen since the battle with Osamu.
The dojo he remembered. He trained from sunup to sundown for fifteen years here. Fought his father and Uncle Yasha here. Cheered on his mother and father as they trained with Uncle Yasha.

The room was different. Darkened yet he could smell many people here. Old people young people. Who could they all be?
Finally he found his parents. They would know what was going on. He thought that this would be a nice reunion with Uncle Yasha and Aunt Cho not this

Suddenly, the torches were lit as Uncle Yasha and Aunt Cho entered the room with a man over one hundred years old. Everyone yelling "Happy Anniversary" Inuyasha was startled but laughed when he realized what was going on
People started to greet his aunt and uncle. They were all 'strangers Inuyasha grinned when he saw him. Cho hugged him and cried.
Finally, Satoru asked the question on his mind. "Who are all these people?'
I

nuyasha looked a little embarrassed. "These are my family. All seven children came along with their children and they have been planning this for years, but it took my brother and Kagome to carry it off"

Satoru looked confused " What is the occasion?" His mother had asked him to come without telling him why.

"This is our one hundred fifty wedding anniversary. Kagome helped my oldest boy locate everyone.'

Satoru asked " I was here for twenty years. How is it that I never saw any of my cousins?"

Inuyasha looked at Cho. "I am sorry, but it was simply too risky for them to visit during those years. Their visits would have put them and you and Kagome at risk."

He grabbed Satoru by the arm. " Come on let make for lost time. It's time that you met the rest of your family."
