Always And Forever ☆Book 2 Sequel to Secrets, Beauty and Bravery☆

Cloaked in red

Bailey smiled down at her son. "What sould we name you?" She asked sweetly. Sesshomaru smiled small and watched the two of them. "Mizuki. It means Beautiful Moon." Sesshomaru said. Bailey smiled. "Mizuki is perfect." She said kissing Mizuki's forehead. In that moment everything was perfect. Then that moment ended. The palace was surrounded by an ominous auras. Bailey handed Mizuki to Towa. "Protect your brother." Bailey said to Towa and Setsuna. "But. You just gave birth. You need to rest." Towa. "You forget. I heal faster than all of you." Bailey said getting to her feet. The auras grew stronger as they grew closer to the palace. A scent caught Bailey's nose and she grabbed her head as a shooting pain went there it. An image of a woman went through her head. Long black hair, fair skin and brown eyes stared back at her for a few seconds before disappearing. "What is it?" Sesshomaru asked stepping in front of her protectively. "I thought I saw... a woman." Bailey said her teeth gritting as a pain erupted in her back. "These marks. They're burning..." Bailey said wincing. Sesshomaru lifted Bailey's shirt a bit to see them. "They're glowing." He said worriedly. "Glowing?" Bailey asked. As the scratch like marks pulsed Bailey could feel the auras around the castle moving at heightened speeds. "Do you smell them?" Sesshomaru asked. Bailey nodded. Growling and whimpering was heard all around them. The guards stood with their weapons drawn and aimed at the closed gate. "Get guards to the dungeons. Protect Towa, Setsuna and Mizuki!" Sesshomaru ordered keeping his eyes to the gates. A figured appeared in the distance a red cloak cover from head to toe. Wolves emerged from all sides. A light feminine giggle came from the figure in front of them. "I have come for the child. It would be wise just to hand it over." Bailey growled eyes glowing. "Oh so you are alive. Mother was correct then. The lost princess has indeed returned." Sesshomaru was taken aback. Bailey glared at the woman in front of them. "Mother has searched high and low for you. I will be taking you with us as well." The women said snapping her fingers and sending a pink dust their way. "Dont breathe it in!" Sesshomaru yelled pushing Bailey to the side taking a defensive stance in front of her. Bailey tumbled to the ground changing into her wolf form. Baring her teeth at the woman. "How exhausting." The woman said stepping to the side and letting men run at them Bailey charged forward growling. Sesshomaru sped towards the men his claws glowing green with his poison. Women rushed from the sides with the same pink dust throwing it towards them both. The men pulled out nets and threw them at Bailey. As they wrapped around her she whimpered and howled in agonizing pain. "Bailey!" Sesshomaru yelled then fell to the ground beside her knocked unconscious from the pink dust. Bailey whimpered as she laid there under the nets that were burning her. The woman approached and threw the dust in Bailey face instantly causing her to be knocked unconscious. "Find the child. You men carry her back to the hideout." A group entered the palace easily taking out everyone in their path. "Quickly this way." Jaken whispered to Towa and Setsuna. "We cant just leave Bailey and father." Towa protested not moving an inch. Setsuna furrowed her brows. "We need to keep Mizuki safe. That is our goal." Setsuna said before gently urging Towa forward. "We can go to Lady Kaede's village until Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Bailey come for us." Jaken said waving his arm signaling them to move faster. Mizuki stirred in Towa's arms slowly waking from his peaceful slumber. Towa held her breath gently rocking him as she quickly followed Jaken. Setsuna followed behind them both making sure no one was following them. Using a clear liquid to cover their scent they quickly made their way to the forest. Bailey's whines and howls could be heard as they made their way from the palace. Setsuna gritted her teeth in frustration. Running was not something she was used to nor did she like it. The forest rustled all around them. Jaken created a barrier around them. Howling and growling surrounded them. The woman in the red cape emerged from the path behind them. "The child will be coming with us." She said touching a purple stone to the barrier making it collapse instantly. Jaken sweat dropped and held his staff out. "You will not take Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Bailey's child!" Jaken yelled at the woman before him, Towa and Setsuna were doused in pink dust. "Bailey?" The woman questioned. "That must be what she goes by. Mother will be happy to know both of them are alive and well." The woman said picking up Mizuki and smiling down at him.
As they made their way through the forest they made sure to cover their tracks taking the liquid from Jaken their scents were concealed making it impossible to find them. Coming to the thickest part of the woods the group moved a few boulders carefully putting them back as they entered a tunnel that went underground. "Mother we have returned with the child." The woman in red announced proudly holding Mizuki out to a woman in black. The woman in black took Mizuki in her arms. "Very good work. What is this you've brought?" The woman asked walking over to Bailey's unconscious human form which they had been wrapped in a blanket. The woman in red pulled back the blanket from Bailey's face. The woman in black smiled. "She's here. Fantastic work where did you find her?" She asked running the back of her fingers down Bailey's cheek. "She's the child's mother." The woman in red said bluntly. The woman in black frowned at this information. "That does indeed complicate things." The woman in black said smiling down at Mizuki who was sleeping in her arms then smiling at the women in red.

"Put her in her chambers." The woman in black said to the men standing by. "Yes Queen Nakano." The men said bowing. "Now that she is home. We must prepare. Luna get a change of clothes for your older sister. She will need them when she wakes. Until then I will spend sometime with my grandson. We will have much to discuss when she wakes." Queen Nakano said to her daughter Luna. Luna walked away removing her red cloak letting her black hair flow behind her. "My Queen there is one thing you should know." One of the guards that carried Bailey back said cautiously. "And what would that be?" Queen Nakano asked cradling Mizuki.
"The princess. She has no scent." He said cautiously. Nakano's eyes glowed gold with frustration. "My. My. What a complicated situation we have here." She said smiling down at Mizuki.
