Chapter 35: Inukimi
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
A/N: You'd think it being summer I'd have more time to update…

"Why is it after centuries of absence you suddenly now feel compelled to visit me, Mother?" Sesshomaru inquired, pulling Rin behind him and out of her line of vision, "My personal affairs were never much an interest of yours, or perhaps it is you yearn for the company of your only son?"
Inukimi smirked, "At ease, Sesshomaru, I have not sought for your company, regardless of the warmth and radiance of such a bubbly disposition you exploit."
They exchanged glares.
"That is her, I presume," tilting her head to look at Rin, "The one Tenseiga cannot save."
"State your business!" Sesshomaru snarled.
"Hey!" Kagome appeared riding Ah-Un with Jaken. Sango and Miroku came on Kirara. "What's everyone doing on my roof?"
Their eyes widened at the elegant female inuyoukai.
"Dearest Lady Mother!" Jaken scurried forth to kiss the floor at her feet.
"Little Youkai."
"Jaken," he reminded her.
"Whatever. I have come, my Son, to ensure that you have obtained a suitable mate to carry on our bloodline," she glanced at Rin, "You should have conceived and raised an heir over a hundred years ago, Sesshomaru. As your mother, I was… concerned, to put it mildly."
"Unnecessary," he said, "Why would you worry about my lack of a mate?"
"Well…" Her eyes drifted over to Jaken.
Sesshomaru actually took a step backward, as if he'd been dealt a harsh blow to the chest.
"You – you thought - ?" glaring at the imp, who was completely oblivious.
Inukimi stifled a laugh, and, to Sesshomaru's horror, so did Rin.
"I see nothing of this humor worth noting."
"That makes you the only one," his mother grinned. "Come now, you must have heard the rumors."
"Are you here to question my sexuality, or see to it I have a mate? If the later, than leave, as with your own eyes, you can plainly see that I am indeed engaged."
The female inuyoukai shifted her gaze back to Rin.
"I'm disappointed in you, Sesshomaru. I wouldn't have revived the child if I thought you were planning on toying with her. That's quite distasteful."
"I do not toy," he growled, "Rin is my mate. I have claimed her already."
She pouted, "I am your only living parent, after all I've done to care for you, ensured your success, the right to claim your lands and titles, yet you don't even wait for my blessing?" She clutched her heart, "That hurts, deeply."
"My heart bleeds for you," he remarked sardonically.
"Sesshomaru, my One and Only Son, I am an epic failure as a mother."
"You've finally noticed."
"You're not supposed to agree!" she snapped angrily, "Listen, and listen well! You may mate the girl, fool around with her as much as you please, have as many offspring as you like! Conditionally."
Sesshomaru almost laughed, "And what is stopping me from doing so anyway?"
"Because, as I've given you as much love and affection as a mother can to an icicle, you are therefore INDEBTED to me."
He raised a brow, "I swear you're nearly as bad as Jaken."
Hey! The imp thought.
"Plus I did resurrect the girl."
She had a point there.
"State your demand."
Inukimi's eyes suddenly turned soft, "Give me a grandpup… a full-blooded grandpup."
