Chapter 145 - The Details *Darker Than Black* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

When she was certain she had his attention, Migotoyami spoke once more. "The spell you cast on your mother. Do you know everything you wish to about its effects?"

The taiyoukai raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "How is it that you know about that?"

"Word of your mother's punishment has already spread far and wide. It is essential that I stay well informed, and I have ears in many places. Do you have any questions for me?"

"You know the details of the spell?"

"I do. Your mother stole it from me long ago."

Sesshoumaru chuckled darkly. "Why am I not surprised? Of course she would willingly use dark magic on her only pup."

"I do not believe even she knows exactly how it works. She came to me centuries ago under false pretenses. She ordered me to perform a spell for her, and I was foolish enough to trust the Western Lady alone in my lair, though I suppose I truly had no other choice. It was not until a great deal later that I discovered the pages she had ripped from my books. It was very unwise of her to use a spell she did not fully understand. The books only detailed how to cast various spells, not their true extent."

"She took more than one spell?" he asked, concerned about what else his mother might know how to do.

"She did, though none of the others taken would be of any concern to you. She seemed most interested in ways to increase and preserve her beauty. She values her appearance and its effects on males very highly."

Sesshoumaru was not surprised in the least by the witch's revelations. He always knew how vain his mother was. He hadn't, however, known the true extent of her vanity. To use dark magic to enhance her natural appearance when she was already an incredibly beautiful female was foolishness, and he couldn't help but wonder if she would eventually suffer from ill effects. Black magic did not often come without consequences of some kind. It would serve her right if she were to lose that which she valued the most.

Deciding that he would take advantage of the information the witch was offering, Sesshoumaru asked a question. "Tell me, if I leave her in that form, will she age as a mortal canine?"

"No, she will remain virtually ageless. You can leave her as a dog for as long as you wish without shortening her lifespan. While her senses are weaker, and her healing is slower, she still retains her demon blood." The wicked smirk on his face made her shudder, and she almost felt sorry for the Lady Mother. Almost.

"Healing abilities while under the spell are still faster than a mortal canine's would be, are they not?"

"Yes, My Lord. The spell does not strip you of all your demonic characteristics. If it did, you would have died days before the miko found you, and if you had managed to survive, your wounds would have healed a great deal more slowly. Your demon blood also helped to protect you from infection.

"If you choose to keep your mother close, contained and protected within the palace walls, she will survive without complications until you decide to change her back. If I may, My Lord; I recommend keeping her in that form for a very long time, as even now she plots against your mate-to-be."

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. "How could you possibly know that?"

"Darkness cannot hide itself from darkness, My Lord. I can see into her heart just as easily as I know my own, just as I can that of your true enemy."

"Do you speak of Naraku?"

"I do."

"Explain yourself," Sesshoumaru demanded. If this witch had information on the vile spider hanyou, he wanted to know everything. Even the smallest hint could be enough for them to finally bring him down. Once Naraku was dealt with, his life with Kagome could truly begin.
