Lady Tsukiko: tttt

After having stayed a week at the clearing Sesshomaru decided to visit his mother at her castle. He figured it was time for Inuyasha to meet his stepmother plus he was long due for a visit.

"-Inuyasha come here we're going to visit my mother"- he called to Inuyasha who was busy picking peaches.

"-Onii-chan no hahaoya? he asked. What if she won't like me?"-

"-Nansensu"- Sesshomaru scoffed.

"-Naze desu ka onii-chan?"-

"-Because you are but a baby and have done nothing wrong"-.

He lifted Inuyasha in his arms and gathered his youki around them. In a ball of yellow light they shot up in the sky and towards the Tenkū no kyūden. After arrival the guards immediately opened the gates for him bowing deeply for him but sneering at Inuyasha. Little Inuyasha got upset because of all the glares and trembling he hid his face in Sesshomaru's neck, sniffling softly. Shesshomaru leveled a deathly glare at the guards; his left hand beginning to drip with acidic green poison. Hastily the guards turned their faces. He walked passed quickly and went to the throne room. He gave his mother a short bow.

"-Mother this is Inuyasha"—. He introduced Inuyasha to her.

Lady Tsukiko took one look at Inuyasha's teary little face and her heart melted. She stood up from her throne and lifted him and went back to sit with him on her lap.

*Poor child* she thought. *Still a baby and no parents left*

Petting Inuyasha, she addressed her son. "-How long are you planning on staying"-?

"-As long as Inuyasha wishes to stay here. I am able to run the Western lands from here so it is not a problem for me to stay"-.
