When I saw his face I said, "Tori?!" "Sakura?" asked the boy on the ground. "Tori!" I said hugging him. "Saska what in the world?" said Sesshomaru entering the scene. "Hello Sesshomaru." said Tori sitting up from being knocked down. "Tori? It is you! How have you been? We thought you were dead. And Saska you shouldn't have done that cause you don't want anything bad to happen." "I know I'm sorry." Sess helped me up and put his arms around my waist and across my stomach, then rested his head on my shoulder leaning against my head. "To the dead part, me and father heard about the village and saw no one survived we decided to leave and hang out in the country side." "Fathers still alive." "Yep. So how have you been sis, let me get a good look at you?" Sess let go of me and I spun around for my brother to see how much I had grown since he left when I was a little kid but now being a beautiful young lady. "Wow you look so beautiful and you look like you've gained some weight" "Yeah it's probably weight but not from what you think." I said looking at Sess with a smile. "You don't mean to tell me that you might be pregnant?" "I might." "Whose the father?" "Your looking at him!" said Sess with a serious voice and look upon his face. "You mean you two are and item?" said Tori all surprised "Yep." I said with a giggle. "For how long?" said Tori getting full of questions. "Well uhm . . . I kinda fell in love with Saska when I first met her in the field saving her from a couple of demons." said Sess holding me in his arms again and kissing me on the side of the face. "And well for me when he kissed me when he had to leave me by myself with mother." we explained. "Ahh." "So where's father. I want to see him." "He's . . . well I can't explain so just follow me." So we did. It took us6 days and 5 nights to get there but we got there. When we reached to the area where my father was, I noticed him kneeling on the ground crying. "Uhm . . . father we have some visitors." Tori said announcing us. "Tell them to go away. I'm too depressed to talk to anyone cause my darling wife and precious daughter are dead. I knew we shouldn't have left the village. I knew something was going to happen while we were gone." "Father . . . it's me Sakura, it's ok I'm still here I didn't leave you. Please look at me." I said a little upset cause I was happy to see my father and brother still alive. "That's not my princess Sakura." he said as he just sat there. "Tori how long has he been like this?" Sesshomaru asked. "It's been awhile now. He wont stop believing that both Sakura and Mother were dead even though there was only one grave of royalty there." said Tori. "Father it is me please if you turn to look at me you can see it is me you daughter Princess Sakura." "Ok but if your not my daughter then ill have to kill you for betrayal." So he turned and looked, when he saw that it was me, his eyes got big, he got up and ran straight to me as I ran to him. He picked me up, held me tight and spun me around. He then put me down, continued to hold me tight, kissed me on my head and said, "Thank god that my precious daughter is still alive!" "I love you too father. I've missed you so much, why didn't you come back for us?" "I'm sorry Sakura when we heard what happened he thought that if we went back it would be a trap to kill us too. Boy you look just like your mother except for the dog demon parts." "Father do you still have the power to tell when a person is pregnant or not?" asked Tori. "I sure can Son but why?" "Cause father I might be pregnant and I wanna know for sure." I said nervous. "Whose the one whose responsible for this?' father asked stern. "Uhm . . Daddy this is Sesshomaru, he was the one who saved me from being killed, and he's going to be the father if I am going to be having a child." I said grabbing Sess's hand and arm. "Well Sakura you've found a nice young man who seems to be a Dog-Demon as well is that so?" asked father eyeing him. "Yes my lord I am." Sess said pondered, not know how he could tell that he was a dog- demon cause he himself can only tell if someone is a demon not the type. "Well it's nice to meet you Sesshomaru." "Nice to meet you too my lord." said Sess taking a grateful bow. "Ok then, Tori if you can take Sesshomaru for a walk, while I take a look at Sakura." "Sure Father, come Sesshomaru as farther takes care of Sakura." When they left, father helped me lay down on the ground, he then told me that it might hurt a little. When he was ready he laid his head down on my stomach, then pressed his fingers on it gently. He then turned into his same dog form and started at it for a few minutes. As he did that I became very sleepy and dozed off, which was normal when father does power of being a lord of a big family of Dog demons. When he was doe he called the boys in, and when they got there they noticed that he had a upset look on his face. "It's not gonna happen it is my lord?"asked Sesshomaru upset. "I'm sorry Son its not, she had a miscarriage not to long ago." "I'll tell her when she wakes up." said Sess sitting down next to me as a slept.
Then next day I went up to Sess to give him a kiss and before I could say or do anything he said, "Saska can I talk to you for a minute." "Sure sweetheart." I said as I looked at my brother and father to see if I could sense what the matter was. He lead me to the woods and looked at me with his golden eyes and held me so that we were looking at each other eye to eye, "Saska Sweetheart . . . I've got bad news." "What is it?" "Uhm . . . were not gonna have a baby . . . you had a miscarriage not too long ago." "No. No! NO! It's a lie. It has to be." I said crying, and Sess shaking his head. "It can't be . . ." I said as I fell into his arms crying. He held me tight and said, "It's ok Saska, we'll try another time I promise." We stood there until I cried myself to sleep. Sess then Carried me to my father and brother and told them that we were going to take off for awhile and hope to see them soon.
