"What about your mama? Did she fight too?"

Kagome and Sesshoumaru looked at each other. They hadn't divulged the identity of the other inuyoukai, though she was sure Inuyasha and Kouga had already figured it out, their noses much more in tune with familial bonds.

Inukimi only returned to her humanoid form when the three of them were alone.

"Mother was more concerned with keeping others safe than actually participating in the battles."

"I bet she was really good at it!"

She grinned at his enthusiasm. "Why do you say that?"

Shippou didn't even blink. "Where else would Lord Sesshoumaru have learned it?"
