Tatania walked in and watched as Sesshumaru played with the little girls who scrambled all over his laughing form. They were so energetic and joy-filled that it eased all the tensions of the day from her tired frame.
"How are my favorite girls and guy doing?" Tania called out calling attention to the fact that she'd arrived.
"Hey girls it's Tania! Isn't she beautiful today?" Sesshumaru stated smiling as he disentangled himself from the two petite munchkins who'd tried to ransack him.
"Yes otoosan! She's very pretty!" Rin agreed giggling as she noticed the definite underlying tensions between the two adults.
"Miss. Tania will you be our mommy?" Cinny asked with wide doleful cinnamon brown eyes set on Tania and a pouty lower lip that melted at Tania's self- defenses and tugged at her maternal instincts.
"Aw sweetums of course I'd love to be your mommy and I will be as soon as me and your daddy get married. And you two will be there smiling and laughing and then we'll be a family!" Tania reminded her as she enfolded her into her open and loving arms. "I can't wait to be your mommy sweetie!"
"We can't wait until you're our mommy!" Rin added squealing as Sesshumaru swooped her up into his arms. Forest green eyes looked up from her vantage point situated quite comfortably on the floor with Cinny in her arms; as she glanced up at father and daughter's easy bantering she remembered her own father and the way in which they'd often played. Not as easy yet fun nonetheless.
"Poppa what are we gonna do today?" a beautiful brunette girl asked her father looking up from her vantage point in the carriage next to him.
"We're going to visit Asia princess. The tzar has a mission for us! We are the Cossacks Tania; we were born only to do the tzar's bidding! You see that C on your shoulder my love?"
"Yes poppa!"
"It's the mark of our allegiance! You must always be proud of your birthright princess! Always my love!".
"Earth to Tania!" Sesshumaru teased as Tania snapped out of her recollections. "Where were you just now?"
"I was remembering my father! He died a long time ago." Tania replied getting up off of the floor. "Isn't it time for some little princesses bath time?"
"Clever ploy Miss. Tania. Switching the topic so effortlessly! I almost was fooled, almost!" Rin replied laughing as they headed up to the bathroom.
"Are you sure she's only thirteen Sesshu? She's far too wise to only be thirteen." Tania teased as they all began laughing and bantering in their usual manner.
Warm amber eyes much like hers looked down at her with such love as she smelled the warm scents that she knew instinctively was home. She saw a brunette with her back turned to her humming as she cooked dinner. She saw her otoosan standing afar from her and she heard herself call him oji. He reached for her as he straddled Rin on one of his knees. He held them both letting them know how much he loved them.
"Okaasan!" she called out to the brunette who turned and she drowned in twin pools of brown eyes. She looked around her and felt safe and warm and content.
The sound of a mighty wind was heard as the front door slammed open startling her. Out of the corner of her eye she saw her ojiisan appear as if prompted and command Sesshumaru to leave with her and Rin.
"No otoosan! My place is here! You need me!"
"It's not your battle Sesshumaru! Take care of Cinny until we meet up with ya'll keep her safe!" Inuyasha stated as he hugged his brother as an insurmountable force began their onslaught on the family.
"Okaasan!" she cried out in terror as her mother slipped away to join the fray.
"It'll be okay kawaii! Be good for your oji! Okaasan and otoosan loved you!" the brunette whispered as she kissed her farewell.
"Watch your neesan and your mei with all your heart Sesshumaru! Go to my otoosan's! We'll meet up with you!" her ojiisan directed as the rest of his army appeared and fought. "Un ga ii!"
And with that she lost sight of her family as she was transported to her great-grand fathers castle.
She woke up in cold sweats in her bed crying out for her mother. Instantly her ojiisan was by her side. Or was he really?
"What happened precious?" Sesshumaru asked.
"I had a dream oji! About my okaasan and ojiisan!" she whispered as tears flowed freely down her cheeks.
Sesshumaru froze as he realized without her telling him that she'd remembered. He'd done everything in his power so that she could have forgotten yet it seemed she had. It was time for him to face his past.
