Sesshomaru faced the young boy in front of him, and looked beyond the child to the golem waiting just behind.

"Will you attack a child Lord Sesshomaru? I know how you value human life now, I am extremely disappointed by your weakness."

Sesshomaru said nothing simply reached for Tokijin's sheath and placed a hand on the sword that resided inside.

"Kohaku, I may have underestimated Sesshomaru, looks like you will get to fight after all."

Kohaku nodded and ran at Sesshomaru his weapon at the ready beside him, but he was used to Inuyasha's fighting and mistook Sesshomaru as being weaker then he truly is. Just as Kohaku thought he would land a blow Sesshomaru drew the sword from Tokijin's sheath sliced the boy right up the middle then conked him on the head with the end of the sword. Naraku's golem didn't get a chance to see much at all because half a second after he hit the boy Sesshomaru shot the other sword out of Tensaiga's scabbard and shot right through him killing Naraku's view of Sesshomaru and Kohaku's body. As he lifted the boy to his shoulder he realized he would need to clean up a few messes in this time before he could claim his family, he only hoped it didn't take long.

Kagome worked harder everyday to keep up the pretense of normality for her children, her sweet little twins who were growing in strength and intelligence everyday, they far surpassed other one and a half year old babies, they would be walking very soon Kagome was sure. Michi already stood, always with a hand on Emiko's shoulder for balance, it made him look like he was protecting her, It made Kagome happy to see her children like that, and also sad how much it reminded her of Sesshomaru.

Michi and Emiko were very used to Kagome's schedule by now but she happened to have a day off so they got to spend time with mommy, Kagome smiled down at happy little Emiko and aloof as ever Michi, he only broke his façade when she sat down on the floor with them, that's when a huge smile spread across his face that rivaled Emiko's. Kagome laughed at the beauty of her children, thanks to there father they were inhumanly beautiful, and thanks to her they looked human enough to pass as slightly above normal in her time.

She threw them both in the air one after the other and quickly caught them in a shield of her power she had been working on, it had the perfect mix of her power and Sesshomaru's poison to protect them from harm but also assure the shield itself didn't harm them. This had recently become the twins very favorite game, beside playing patty cake with each other, they continued playing for an hour or so, then Kagome put them in high chairs to eat. She gave Emiko a bowel of bananas and Michi some peaches to tide them over while she cut up some meat for them, she still couldn't get over how much they loved raw meat, she knew it was because they were demon but it grossed her out to feed still bleeding meat to her angelic babies. When she turned around to put the plates in front of them she was shocked at what she saw, Emiko was using whips of poison to pass her bananas to Michi, and Michi was using what looked like Miko power to give Emiko his peaches, how he was using it without purifying himself Kagome couldn't explain, she quickly feed the children, dressed them and rushed off to the office they were born in.

She knew one day her children might present gifts like their father had but she had no idea they could possibly be at all like her, let alone that is would be Michi, he looked so like Sesshomaru, except for having her eyes, Kagome was sure he would be like his father in all things. Fate it seems was not done twirling Kagome around it's little finger, but without Sesshomaru to depend on for support, Kagome wasn't sure she could handle much more.
