"Good morning, my lady"

"Morning, Satsuki-san" Fawks smiled as she and her sister entered the room. "Is Sensuke awake?"

"Since dawn. He's been frantic to see you" the woman bowed out.

Miyako blinked down at the toddler sitting on the floor, playing with a ball.

"Sen-kun…!" Fawks sang. He looked up at them with curious golden green eyes, he smiled reaching to be picked up.

"Did you miss mama?" Fawks cooed lifting him into her arms.

"This boy is…" Miyako began.

"He's my son" Fawks said simply. Miyako paled.

"He's the reason I wouldn't go back even if I wanted to. Sensuke is a full blooded youkai, he doesn't belong in your world. I couldn't bear to part with him or his daddy" Fawks said snuggling the giggling baby to her shoulder. "You may think he's cruel, that he's a monster… hell, you may be right but no matter what he is, I love Sessho-maru. Sensuke is proof of that"

"Fawkeisha…!"

The door slide open and Miyako shrank back as Sessho-maru stepped into the room. Sensuke giggled, reaching out to him. He spared her a withering glance as he joined his mate and son.

"My lord" Fawks said pointedly.

"Are you still vexed with me?" he asked, gathering Sensuke into his arms.

"Vexed doesn't even begin to cover it"

"I told you she was here, did I not?" he sighed.

"And that's the only reason the sex ban is only a year and not forever" she smiled unpleasantly. Sessho-maru glared, Miyako clutched her sister's arm, "Fawkeisha…!"

"Oi…!"

"Your sister seems to think I wish to punish you for being disrespectful" Sessho-maru smirked, "Fear not, if I did not enjoy Fawks-chan's fierce tongue, I would not have made her my mate"

Fawks blushed, "Yeah, whatever"

"Besides, I doubt you'd be able to go so long without my touch"

"Shouldn't I say that?"

"Alright…!" Miyako sighed, "Just…how do I get home…?"

Both Sessho-maru and Fawks glanced at her.

"Well…what happened before you woke up here?" Fawks began.

"Nothing…! I was home in my bed and then…"

"What about that day?"

"I…was looking for you. I went by the Higaurashi shrine, then your old job…but…"

"But what, sis?"

"I…bumped into this woman. She was very pretty, I thought she was the mistress of a yakuza…"

"Yakuza?" Sessho-maru began.

"Don't worry about it…" Fawks sighed.

"She…said I had lovely eyes…and that I would be reunited with you soon" Miyako went on. "As a matter of fact…she looked a lot like you…"

Sessho-maru raised an eyebrow at her.

"Oh, Christ…!" Fawks groaned. "Just what the hell is she doing sticking her nose into my business"

"She knows of no other way…" Sessho-maru growled, annoyed.

"You know her?" Miyako began.

"Maybe…" Fawks huffed, "Sounds like my mother-in-law…"

"…of course she is…"

"Alright…let's get this over with…" Fawks sighed.

"Get what over with?" Miyako blinked.

"Go down to my in-law's and make her undo whatever she did" she turned to her mate and child. "Hey, Sen-kun…would you like to go see gramma today?"

"Gramma!" the toddler cheered.

"Are you sure that's wise?" Sessho-maru began.

"It's always better if we bring a 'gift'"

"True" he sighed.

"I'll get him dressed, we'll meet you at the main gate…" Fawks replied, lifted their son from Sessho-maru's arms.

"Hn" he inclined his head.

"C'mon Miyako" Fawks said pulling her along behind.
