A/N: I would've updated sooner, but it was first week of classes this past week. I also wasn't too sure how to follow-up the last chapter. Honestly? I'm just writing what comes to mind, so technically, this story could go on forever. =_=

I sat at my house, organizing the papers for school as Shippo sat at the table, eating his mozzarella sticks. Sesshomaru stood in my living room, his arms crossed defiantly, as if he owned the place. "Sesshomaru-sama, you can sit down." His golden eyes glanced down at the couch as stayed still.

"Hn."

I heard Lucifer play out of my phone as I reached and grabbed it. Swiping to answer the call, I pressed the phone to my ear, standing up straight. "Hello?"

"Hey Kags!" I laughed at Bankotsu's chipper voice.

"Hey, Bankotsu-chan. How're you?"

"Okay. Did you get your schedule for school yet?"

"Sure did. I have Effective speaking, and Life drawing."

"Awesome! We have life drawing together. Let's draw naked people!" He cheered as I shook my head laughing softly.

"Of course you'd be more concerned about drawing naked people than the course itself."

"Maybe you can be our model."

"No way, Bankotsu-chan." I heard a growl as I glanced behind me, Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed towards me. "Listen, I'll see you tomorrow at school. I have a guest over."

"Who is it?"

"Sesshomaru. I'll see you at class." Hanging up my phone I glanced at him.

"Momma, I finished my cheese sticks."

"That's good sweetie. Eat the carrots on your plate too." I patted his head as he nodded slowly, starting to chew on the baby carrots. I turned to glance at Sesshomaru who continued to stand there. "what is it, Sesshomaru?"

"Nothing that concerns you miko."

I narrowed my eyes at him as I walked past him, heading down the hall. I ran my hand against the wall as I walked into Shippo's room, fixing his covers. "Momma! I ate my carrots!"

"You can get down, and put your plate on the counter, honey. Come, pick up your toys."

"Okay." He chirped out as I heard the plate clatter against the sink. I smiled as I sat up, adjusting his pillow at the head of his racecar bed. "Here's Suki-san." He handed me his little toy fox, as I set it next to his pillow. "Momma…"

"Yes sweetie?" I glanced at him as I stood up straight, Shippo crawling onto his bed.

"Is Sesshomaru-sama going to be my new daddy?"

"What?" I felt heat rush to my cheeks as I glanced at him shocked, sitting happily with his little fox feet in front of him. "Why do you think that?"

"Well, I heard some of the ladies at day care say that Sesshomaru-sama was a very capable man, and he could make any woman happy…" I sat next to him as he rested his head against my hip, my hand instinctively running through his bangs. "Are you happy Momma?"

I smiled as I pulled him into my lap, kissing his forehead gently. "The only man I need in my life is right here, in my arms." I smiled as I ran my thumb against his cheek. "I am very happy." I smiled happily as Shippo stared up at me with his big green eyes.

"Promise?"

"Promise." I kissed his forehead against as I sat him on the bed. I stood up, brushing my hands against my work uniform as I stretched. "Momma's gonna go get changed into more comfy clothes."

"Okay!" He chirped out happily as his tail flicked behind him, showing his happiness. I smiled and walked down the hall, seeing Sesshomaru still standing in the doorway. I felt my cheeks heat up as my eyes darted to stare at his lips, my legs carrying me towards the living room. I walked past him as I stepped around the corner quickly, darting into the kitchen. I started running the hot water, washing up Shippo's plate.

"Sesshomaru, are you hungry?"

"What do you have in mind?" I heard footsteps nearing as my face flushed even more, especially when I felt something spark in my chest. He hissed as he stepped back, glaring down at his hand.

Glancing over at him, I saw the pain in his face as I blinked confused. His hand was bright red, and it looked like a burn. "What happened!" I cried out as I reached to touch him, that same spark igniting in my chest again. He growled loudly, as my hand started to glow a light pale pink-ish blue, the energy swirling around my fingers. "What… What is this!" I shouted as I looked up at him, the pain that had been on his face was gone, as my eyes traveled down to his hand. The burn mark was no longer there as he let his hand rest on the counter.

"Turn off the water, miko." He stated calmly as he turned away, walking back into the living room.

"Momma?" Shippo peeked his head out of the corner, his eyes full of worry. His tail poofed up and the fur on it stood on edge to where I could see it, goosebumps crawling up his arms. "Momma… Why are you glowing?" He managed to choke out as I swallowed the lump in my throat. My own son was terrified of me. I felt tears prick my eyes as I gripped my sides as if I was in agony.

"Shippo-chan, go… go sit with Sesshomaru, okay?" I forced out a smile as he shook his head in defiance. "Shippo-chan, you can get hurt, just like Sesshomaru got hurt." The spark in my chest became more painful as I felt something surge out of me, the pain igniting it even more. "Just go, Momma can't stand if you get hurt."

"But Momma's in pain!" Shippo walked towards me, even though his tail twitched in agony, the pain etched in his eyes evident the closer he got to me. I backed up, and slid down the wall that collided with my back. Tears pricked my eyes as I let a sob break out of my throat.

"Go Shippo-chan…"

"No!" Shippo looked up at me as he had tears in his big green eyes. My eyes adjusted as I saw a dark blue energy swirling around him, his aura calling out. "You're my Momma, I'm not losing you…" He whispered as I swallowed the sob that wanted to break out of my throat.

"Call back your energy, miko." Sesshomaru called out as I turned to look at him. "Something triggered your miko energy to the surface, and it's not safe for your kitsune or I to be around you with such a wild purifying energy."

"My momma wouldn't hurt me!" Shippo growled out towards Sesshomaru, glaring up at the tall man.

"Is that why you're scared of her? Your youki is reacting towards her purifying powers, and is preventing you from touching her, knowing exactly what will happen, even if you don't."

I sobbed out as I looked up, the deep red of Sesshomaru's aura was spotted and stained with orange-ish red. I felt the spark pain again as I gripped my chest. "Why won't it go away!"

"Your miko powers are becoming active. They will no longer be dormant. They will activate when they feel a threatening power, which this Sesshomaru believes that is due to my being around. Lemon-yellow, and muddy green started to swirl in his aura, as his eyes held no emotions as usual.

"Sesshomaru, why am I seeing these colors, surrounding people… Are these the aura's?"

"Yes. Your miko powers are much more active, and not only can you feel them, but you can see the colors of what they are feeling." I looked down towards Shippo, his hands twitching.

"Don't touch me Shippo-chan." I whispered as he shook his head defiantly. "Shippo-chan, please… You'll get burned…"

"I don't care Momma…" He barely choked out as I glanced at Sesshomaru, worried.

"The miko's powers have been dormant for so long, they have been building, running wild in you, instead of being trained and disciplined. The pure energy is causing the kitsune to feel choked of his air supply, because he is not used to the amount."

"Why am I giving off more energy though!"

"Because, you are a miko of a shrine, you were meant to serve Gods. Not live your life in dormancy." I slowly nodded my head as Sesshomaru spoke again. "You will have to ask your family for more clarity of this matter, I am a youkai, I know not much of the miko ways."

Shippo cried out as I felt his hands touch me, tears pricking my eyes as the spark flared out. "Shippo-chan!" I cried out, tears falling from my eyes.

D'aw, Shippo... *teary eyes* Anyway, have a cliffy. *winks* So, fill out that sexy box below, and send me some of those words of yours. *grins* They mean a hellva lot to me. teehee. See you next time!
