Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters. I actually feel sorry for him when Kagome sits him, even if I think its funny.

Chapter 7
Silver-blue gray eyes stared up at her three distressed masters and mistress, knowing what she must do. It was about time to reveal herself to them, no longer hiding in the shadows and acting as their pet and loyal companion. She was to gaurd Princess Kyoko Miyuki with her life, despite her change in appearance and form. She could never disagree with the Queen, no matter what she thought. And now it was time for her to take action, to save her princess and her future queen from Naraku.
Barking once, Shadow looked at Queen Akira, Prince Senji Tenchi II, and Prince Souta Akemi, the reincarnation of former Prince Souta himself, former younger brother of Queen Akira. She bowed to them, as only a dog could, recieving a few confused looks from all of them. She smiled a toothy grin and let her magic surround her, which was the lush color of twilight. As the magic surrounded her body, she could only help but bark a farewell to her former masters and mistress, as she changed into her youkai form.
Where Shadow once stood, a woman with wild waist length white-silver hair and mysterious silver-blue gray eyes, wearing a simple amazon outfit of black, smiled at them, her eyes twinkling with mischief. She kneeled this time, bowing her head. For the first time in 4 years, she spoke, her voice still lovely and with power radiating from it.
"Your majesty, Queen Akira of Moonlight Castle, Fire Dancer, and mother of my Queen, I pledge my temporary loyalty to you and your family. I am called Shadow. I ask your help to find my princess and your granddaughter. I am here on orders of the future Queen of Moonlight Castle and Lady of the Western and Eastern Lands. I ask that you too Prince Senji Tenchi II, future Lord of the Eastern Lands, and Prince Souta Akemi, future Commander of Moonlight Castle's army, to help me as well. You see, my princess has fallen into the well and has disappeared to the past, where she must not remain. There are dangers that lurk there that I do not wish the princess to get involved with. And her father will be looking for her as well, despite the Queen's wishes. Her father is angry that his daughter was taken from him and will do everything he can to get her back. I ask you to help me, since I cannot let him take Princess Kyoko or kill the Queen. If he kills the Queen, all hope will be lost. So please help me so that all these years of protecting the princess were not in vain and the safety of your daughter and my Queen. Will you help me, Queen Akira, Prince Senji, and Prince Souta?"
Queen Akira looked at Shadow, her eyes full of understanding, pain, and anger. She nodded her head. "Yes, we will help you. I will not let my granddaughter be caught by this man and I understand that you cannot give us the name of the Queen or King. I only hope we will not be too late."
Shadow sighed in relief and a smile formed on her lips, as she stood and bowed. "Thank you your majesty. Your help will not be forgotten. Yet I must tell you this. Everything is not what it seems in this world. The future is very different from your present and I only hope that you understand that any slip up will change the world of the future as we know it."
Queen Akira nodded, as did Senji and Souta. Senji looked at Shadow, his eyes holding determination and anger in their depths. "I will help you to get Kyoko back and my sister. I only hope that they are alright." Souta nodded in agreement, yet his eyes were shallow and dull. He then spoke quietly, as if something were troubling him.
"Miss Shadow, is Inuyasha the father of your princess, Kyoko?"
Shadow looked at him startled, not knowing what he could mean. She smiled slightly and sighed, knowing she couldn't tell him anything. "Asano Inuyasha? Father of Princess Kyoko? I highly doubt it."
Souta nodded and stayed quiet as the others started to make plans to save Princess Kyoko and Princess Kagome from Kyoko's father.
**************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the past......
Sesshoumaru had long since arrived back at his castle and was now waiting for his future mate to wake, so that he could tell her that she was his and his forever. There was no way they could ever separate, despite what she may try. He had given her some of his blood and that made her a part of him and him a part of her. They were bound by blood now, since niether was free until one of them died.
Sighing in fustration, he looked over his papers yet again, trying to push out the thoughts that plagued his mind as this very moment. He could still remember Rin's reaction when he told her about her new mommy and siblings.
~Flashback~
After an hour of traveling west, they had finally arrived at his castle and home. Outside, Rinako and Jaken were playing a wonderful game of tag. Rinako was mostly running, trying to avoid a very short and angry Jaken. She had stolen his staff and hidden from him, just like the many other times he had annoyed her. She was bored and wished for someone to play with, besides ugly toad breath over there. And her wish had finally come true, this very day.
As she looked over the horizion, she could see Sesshoumaru-sama approaching at a fast speed, with a bundle in his arms. Stopping quickly, she watched as a thought entered her mind. Was he maybe bringing her a new mommy? She really wanted a mommy. She missed her mommy, since her old mommy was killed by a band of wolf youkai. She had been lonely for a long time, with only stupid Jaken to play with. As quickly as that thought entered her mind, she rushed down to meet them, a happy silly grin on her face. She couldn't wait to see her new mommy and maybe new brother or sister.
Giggling with glee, she ran towards Sesshoumaru, who had slowed his fast pace to a walk that was still quite fast yet more easy on the two young children and their injured mother. As he walked up the kill, he saw a small figure running towards him. He knew it was his adoptive daughter Rinako or Rin as he called her. She was about 10 and had been begging him to get her a new mommy for some time. He only hoped that Kagome would be willing to be Rin's mother as well as his soon to be formed pups, mother.
He smiled at this thought, knowing that he would have Kagome as his mate, one way or another. He was knocked out of his thoughts as Rinako jumped and tackled his leg, barely even making him sway in the least. He looked down and smiled at the happy girl, knowing exactly what she was thinking. Speaking in a fatherly yet authoritive tone, he touched her head with his hand and smiled. "Hello Rin. How are you today?"
Rinako giggled, looking at her father. She clapped her hands together, jumping up and down. She smiled up at her father, looking at him curiously. "Hi daddy! I am great! Who do you have with you! Is she my new mommy!!!!" She looked at him hopefully, her hand reaching out to touch the woman's limp yet warm hand.
Sesshoumaru laughed for once and nodded, grinning. "Yes Rin. She is your new mommy and I have another surprise for you." He let the children's feet touch the ground as he unwrapped his tail from them and let them stand on their own two feet. Motioning to them, he spoke again. "This is Miyuki and Shippo, your new mommy's children and your brother and sister. Say hello to them Rin and show them around, as I go let your new mommy rest."
Rinako nodded her small head and smiled at Miyuki and Shippo, giggling happily. "Hi! I am Toshusai Rinako or Rin as daddy calls me. What are your names?" She gigled again, clasping her hands together and clapping with glee.
Miyuki giggled and hid behind Shippo as she replied in a quiet yet squeaky voice. "I am Higurashi Miyuki and this is my nii-chan, Higurashi Shippo. Are you my new onee-chan?"
Rin nodded, smiling happily. "Hai! And your my new nii-chan and imoto-chan! Since your my nii-chan and imoto-chan, then your mommy is my mommy. What is mommy's name?"
Shippo spoke for once, his voice quiet and strained. "Kagome. Kagome Sakura Higurashi."
Rin giggled again and smiled gleefully. "Well your last name will be Toshusai like mine. So mommy is Toshusai Higurashi Sakura Kagome and we are Toshusai Rinako, Toshusai Miyuki, and Toshisai Shippo. And we have an auntie too. Auntie Ayame. She is reallly cool. Her name is really Sasami and I used to call her Salami and she hated it so she goes by her middle name, Ayame. Her whole name is Toshusai Ayame Sasami as mine is Toshusai Rinako Amaya, after my real mommy. She was killed by a band of wolves. Daddy saved me from them and kept me safe. I love my daddy. So what would you like your names to be? How about Toshusai Miyuki Kyoko? You look like a Kyoko since mommy and you look a lot alike. You look like daddy too. And nii-chan can be Toshusai Shippo Kaori? Kaori means strong and nii-chan looks strong to me. Thats it. That will be your names. Mommy and Daddy will be so happy, don't you think? And do you have any aunties or uncles?"
Shippo smiled for once and nodded. "Hai. We have Uncle Senji and Uncle Souta. And then we have grandma Akira. She is really cool. She looks a little bit like you imoto-chan. And I think mommy's full name is should be Toshusai Sakura Kagome. It sounds better. I like mine and I bet Chibi-Yuki likes hers. Uncle Souta's full name is Higurashi Akemi Souta and Uncle Senji's is Higurashi Tenchi Senji. Grandma Akira is Higurashi Akira I think. Or is it Nishiki Akira? I am unsure yet I know grandma is a Queen and youkai like mommy. Are you a youkai Rin-imoto?"
Rin's smile fades a bit and her head bows, tears starting to form in her eyes. "No. I am no youkai like daddy. Daddy is an inu-youkai and I am a silly human. I want to be youkai so much like him and Auntie Ayame yet I can't be. He says since my mother and father were human, I am human as well. You are lucky to be youkai, nii-chan. Is imoto-chan a youkai as well or human, like me?"
Shippo smiles and hugs Rin, as well as Miyuki. "Hai. Chibi-Yuki is human like you. I am a kitsune pup and always made fun of. Mommy is half pheniox-youkai and half inu-youkai as well. I wish she was a kitsune youkai like me and not like daddy. Maybe she can make you and Miyuki youkai as well and me a inu-youkai to say the least."
Rin's smile brightens at this and hugs her nii-chan. "Hai! Thats a great idea, nii-chan. Lets go ask mommy. Come on!" With that, the three hurry off, into the castle to play and look for their mommy.
~End of Flashback~
Sesshoumaru shakes his head at the memory, knowing he was watching them the whole time. "So Kagome is the daughter of Queen Akira, the woman I met so long ago. And she is part pheniox youkai as well as inu youkai. Who would of thought? And now she has three pups. Two humans and a kitsune pup. I know that we can make Rin and Miyuki into youkai and maybe she can tell me what kind of youkai Ayame is. So many questions with so little answers. I wonder what Kagome will think of all this when she wakes up."
As if to answer his question he hears a loud shreak and a following.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE THE HELL AM I???!!!!!"
Sesshoumaru just chuckled to himself and started off towards the bedroom, ready to greet the mother of three pups and his future wife and mate.
