Chapter 7: Questions…

"If…I…agree to come to your palace with Akio I also want Shippo come with us he is like a son to me." Kagome said awaiting Sesshoumaru's answer .

Sesshoumaru felt his beast growl possessively at having to share his mate with someone else, but relented since the kitsune was to young of age to be of any threat. Besides he would expect the same from Kagome when it came to excepting Rin.

Excepting the kitsune Sesshoumaru agreed to Kagome's small demand knowing full well she would not have come willingly if he had said no. Both decided to slowly walk back to the village, when Kagome suddenly stopped. Sesshoumaru also stopped staring curiously at Kagome waiting for her to speak.

"How did you get your arm back?"

Sesshoumaru repressed a sign only to answer her question.

"I regenerated my arm back…"

"But why didn't you do that before?"

"It takes a great amount of youki to regenerate a body part, it also depends how large the wound is since the bone also needed to be regenerated. Therefore I could not restore my arm when Naraku was still roaming the lands freely leaving me in a state of…a weakened period. "

"Oh…"

He didn't even know why he so willing to tell her all these things, Sesshoumaru never had any patience's for others let alone his…mate. It seemed today Sesshoumaru had spoken more than he ever did in a decade. But at the same time he felt he needed to explain certain things to Kagome for future reference.

Sesshoumaru resumed walking only to have Kagome run to catch up to his pace. The rest of the walk was in a comfortable silence.

As soon as they stepped in to the village boundary something clashed against the miko's arm, but her arm was wrapped protectively with her miko powers, creating a form of shield not letting the katana pierce her.

"Nice try Akio but you didn't catch me"

"I know Oka-san"

Sesshoumaru wondered why he couldn't sense Akio coming towards them but then again he is his pup. He would most definitely be powerful with his combination of youki and holy powers. But why would he dare attack his mother.

"Pup explain your actions now." Sesshoumaru demanded forcefully, he did not show any emotions but inside he was boiling with anger even though Akio was their pup he felt threatened that he would attack Kagome. He had to control his beast from teaching the pup a lesson for trying to attack his mother. But he wanted to wait first and hear what the pup had to say.

"Sesshoumaru we do this all the time, it prepares me for a surprise attack and it trains Akio to mask his scent, powers, and presence. He covers his scent, presence and power with his youki, and he layers it over with his holy powers purifying any evidence that he was even there"

"You did well Akio I did not notice you until the last second it looks like your getting better!" Kagome praised planting a kiss directly on Akio's crescent moon, pulling away she dapped his little nose with her index finger and giggled

"Thank you Oka-san"

Sesshoumaru was amazed that his pup…their pup at such a young he knew how to handle a katana almost expertly let alone handle his powers too. He was not even allowed to touch a katana until he reached the age of ten human years excluding his pups additional powers. Memories of his past flashed through his mind as he watched Kagome give Akio a gentle caress.

-Flash Back-

Sliver hair with a tint of blue brushed past his small shoulders as he glided through the fields enjoying the chase. As he moved towards his prey, he quickly but quietly jumped over the tall grass and swiped his little hands only to catch air. He growled in frustration, it quickly died down when his prey landed on the tip of his prefect little nose. Crossing his beautiful amber eyes to look at the snow white butterfly a soft laughter rang through the winds his little elfin ear tweaked slightly catching his attention. Turning his head the butterfly flu off he spotted his mother before yelling

"Oka-san!" running towards her; she caught him picking him up and swung him around before hugging him to her form.

"Sesshoumaru what are you doing around here your not suppose to be outside of the palace ground not guarded you could have been attacked.

Pouting, Sesshoumaru thought over his mothers words; he quickly apologized before changing the subject.

"Oka-san where is father he is usually never gone this long?" little Sesshoumaru asked looking up towards his mother's beautiful eyes.

"Sesshoumaru your father is the Lord of the Western Lands he has great responsibilities and one day you will become the Lord of the Western Lands a fine Lord indeed." his mother giggled and tapped her pups nose with her index finger.

Sesshoumaru snapped out of his thoughts when he felt a small tug on his white silk hakama's. Looking down her saw Akio tugging at his hakama's to get his attention.

"Why do we need to come with you?" Akio asked his head tilted curiously to the side in question.

Apparently Kagome must have told Akio their situation while Sesshoumaru was in a daze of flashbacks. Surprisingly Sesshoumaru bent on one knee facing his pup.

"You and your mother have to come to my palace this Sesshoumaru is the Lord of the Western Lands. You are my heir and your mother is my mate. You have to be introduced to the Youkai society." Sesshoumaru replied

"Wow…that's the first time I ever heard you speak more than two words." Kagome said watching Sesshoumaru stand up straight again.

"Mother does that make you the Lady of the Western Lands and me the prince?"

"Yes-I guess so." Kagome replied slowly glancing at Sesshoumaru to see if she was wrong.

"Come let us go to the old miko's hut" Sesshoumaru advised

When the three stepped in to the hut the Inu group stared at them, they didn't know how to react, InuYasha only scuffed at their reaction.

"Hi everyone" Kagome waved at them

Everyone seemed to respond to them in return; but InuYasha it seemed the only thing he could do was glare at Sesshoumaru with hatred.

There was an uncomfortable silence in the hut, they were not use to Sesshoumaru's presence near them unless it in combat. Plus the fact that Kagome just returned with her son which was fathered by Sesshoumaru did not make anything go smoother if possible.

Everyone sat around the fire pit in the hut except for Sesshoumaru. He sat away from the group leaning against the wall with one knee bent with his arm hanging loosely over it. Akio stared curiously at the sight and looked at his father who decided to exclude himself from the group.

"Father?…"

Sesshoumaru sat stiff for a moment not sure how to react, he only knew he was a father for a couple of hours.

"Father?" Akio repeated sitting next to his father gaining his attention

"Why are you sitting here alone and not next to mother and me?" Akio asked innocently

Sesshoumaru looked at his pup…his pup; head bent in a curious jester to the side awaiting his answer.

"I am giving your Oka-san time with her companions"

"But uncle InuYasha is staying with Oka-san why can't you?"

Even though Akio's question's were out of curiosity they started to annoy Sesshoumaru quickly, which was a rare event in itself.

"InuYasha is her companion as well." Sesshoumaru responded uninterested

"But Oka-san is your mate-"

-SMACK-

"Hentai don't touch me again! God Miroku at least do that to Sango after all you are going to marry her!" Kagome yelled at Miroku

Akio mouth stayed open in shock at what the houshi did.

Sesshoumaru growled viciously Miroku's actions. His beast wanted to break free of Sesshoumaru's control, but held on tight.

"Houshi you will do well to remember the next time you touch my mate you will not be able to sire that…this Sesshoumaru can make sure." Sesshoumaru snarled

Miroku's sweat dropped upon hearing his threat knowing full well Sesshoumaru would very well carry it out.

"Forgive me Sesshoumaru-sama, but my hand is cursed I can not control it."

As soon as Miroku was done with his apology Sango hit him across his head with her hirakoustu knocking him out cold.

"Serves him right" mumbled InuYasha; who stayed quiet among the whole conversation.

"Sesshoumaru its okay" Kagome reassured him casually while digging through her big yellow book bag. With those simple words the red in Sesshoumaru's eye's started to seep out only to remain amber. Kagome was the only one to notice this.
