Chapter 15: Discussions

The next morning, Inuyasha was the first up. He walked around the castle, ignoring the servants that asked him if he needed any thing. As he walked int the main study, he found Lord Genjo asleep as if he had been working all night and had fallen asleep. His eyes widened when he noticed that the lord was snoring. He quickly left the room.

Kagome get up and looked around. Sesshoumaru was awake watching her as she got up. She smiled, she could feel his eyes n her as she moved. "Sesshy, we need t get up." Sesshoumaru looked at her.

"I suppose we should…"Sesshoumaru stood up and let the sheets fall from his body. He walked over to Kagome and hugged her before getting on his clothes. Kagome also put on hers. They both walked out the room hand in hand towards the dinning room. As soon as they got there they noticed Inuyasha was already there, with Lord Genjo, who had waken up after Inuyasha had walked into the room. Sango and Miroku walked in ten minutes after Kagome and Sesshoumaru had. Shippo and Rin were still asleep.

Servants came and served everyone their food, and Rin and Shippo came running in and sat down to eat. After every one finished, the two children ran off to play, with Kagome in tow.

Inuyasha smiled at the sight of Kagome playing with the kids. Sesshoumaru noticed this and looked at his mate. "She is good with kids Sesshoumaru." A voice said from behind them. Both brothers turned around to see Lord Genjo smiling. "I have long forgotten how it feels to have children in the castle."

Inuyasha nodded. "She was always fun to be around."

Genjo raised and eyebrow. "She is so much like hr mother…"

Sesshoumaru nodded. "But, her temper is something else."

"So was her mother's" Lord Genjo replied.

The children got tired, and every one went inside." Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, I wish to speak to my daughter alone."

The Tai youkai and hanyou nodded. Kagome looked at her father and flowed him as he headed towards his study. She waved at Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha as she followed him. Kagome nd Genjo arrived at his study, and both took a seat.

"I'm dying Kagome." Genjo said turning form his daughter.

"What do you mean? Are you really dying?" Kagome asked.

"Hai, I am. I am sure Sesshoumaru has sensed some decline in my power." Genjo said. "You must take your place as Lady f both southern and western lands."

"You mean, that I am going to be the ruler f the southern lands?" Kagome asked wide-eyed.

"Hai, you are. Sesshoumaru, of course will help you out." Genjo looked at his daughter who had started to tear up. "Do not worry, it will be fine." Kagome nodded and wiped her eyes.

"But I just met you…" Kagome said.

"I know, but you must understand that." Genjo replied.

"Hai father, but I can't believe you are dying…" Kagome said.

"I know, the poison that has been placed into my spine, is slowly killing me." Genjo said.

Kagome looked up at her father. "Poison? What kind?" she asked.

"I do not know." Genjo said. Kagome nodded.

"I could help you get rid of it." Kagome said.

"It won't matter, I'm far to gone already." Genjo said.

"But…. Father, why not allow me to help you?"

"Because, I have been lord over these lands for eons, now it is someone else's turn to rule." Genjo said.

"Eons?" Kagome said shocked.

"Yes, eons, in fact, well over a hundred thousand years. And my age… well I couldn't tell you that." Genjo said. Kagome's eyes were wide.

"So what you are saying is that you are one of the oldest living things?" Kagome said.

"Not quit that old, but old." Genjo said amused by his daughter.

'Wow I never would of guessed, you look twenty…" Kagome said.

"I know, us inu youkai won't age after twenty human years." Genjo said. " The only way for us to die is in battle."

"Wow, I never knew." Kagome said. "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"Hai, that is all." Genjo said and the two left to find the others.

They walked down a hall when Rin and Shippo ran around the corner and knocked Genjo over. Genjo smiled. Kagome burst out laughing, right as Inuyasha and the others can into view.
