Souta expertly blocked a kick that was aimed at his head before twisting and kicking Toki in the side with his left leg. Toki fell down on the floor and smiled up at Souta.

He offered her a hand so she could get up.

"Was that okay?" he asked her. She stared at him.

"OK? That was. . .amazing! Are you sure you've never done this before?"

"Very sure. But how come you were moving so slow?" Toki coughed and turned red.

"I'm a companion not a warrior," she mumbled. "This is only the basics."

Souta nodded, walking over to where his Ji-chan was sitting.

"Just so that 'Dad' won't cream me to badly."

"Um, cream?"

"It means get beat up a lot."

"oh. . ."

A phantom servant appeared beside Toki and she seemed to listen to it for a while before turning to Souta and Ji-chan.

"It's time to eat the first meal. My ladies and lords are waiting for us," she told them before smiling. "The table is unbalanced."

"Come on Ji-chan! I want to see onee-san!" Souta said, grabbing his grandfather's hand and dragging the poor. . .albeit, annoying. . .old man into the dining room.

He saw his mom and dad talking to each other, a girl sitting beside them and a guy that looked a lot like his Inuyasha-nii-chan, only prettier.

The girl stood up and stared at him.

"Souta?" she said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome looked at her little brother. His hair was, of all colors, a light green. So pale that it looked almost white but with greenish hue. 2 black stripes were on each of his cheeks and a black rose was on his forehead. His bangs were parted and the rest was cropped short. A bit longer then his usual style but not much. Just enough so he could tuck the strands behind his ears, which were pointed.

He was wearing a white training gi and what seemed to be a light green belt. Until. . . it moved that is.

"Souta," she said again and he smiled, finally recognising her.

"Kagome-onee-san?" he asked brightly and ran towards her when she nodded. Only to be suspended in mid-air by a hand in the scruff of his neck. He swung his claws at the guy holding him, all to no avail. His arms were too short. . .But that didn't stop him from doing it.

"Hey! Lemme go! Let. Me.Go!!!" he yelled, and was promptly dropped on the floor.

"Sesshou!" Kagome gasped and ran around him to get to her brother, who was sprawled on the ground. Souta glared at the guy who dropped him, this. . .Sesshou.

"What's the big idea?! I was only going to hug her!" he growled.

"You were going to tackle her. . ." Sesshou said, pulling an emotionless mask on his face.

"Yeah, so? I do it all the time."

"Souta dear, Kagome can't be tackled like you used to," Aya said calmly, still eating.

"Your sister is with pup," Sesshou said, taking his seat once more and gesturing for Souta to sit at his left.

"She's with who?"

"Not who, son. Kagome sort of. . .how do you say this? Um. . .pregnant," Koulas said. Souta's eyes grew wide and he sat down into his chair. He looked at Kagome.

"You are?" he said. She nodded at him. "Who's the dad?"

"That would be me. . ." Sesshou said, leaning back in his chair. Kagome glared at her mate.

"Cool! Are you related to Inuyasha? Can I call you nii-chan? Do you have a cool sword too?" Souta asked him.

"Eat," Sesshoumaru said. Souta merely ate and cast glances at him the whole time.

Kagome glared at Sesshoumaru.

'You dropped him. . .' she thought to Sesshou. Sesshou' eyebrow rose.

/He would have tackled you, love. Or should I have allowed him to harm the pups and cause you unnecessary pain?/

'No but he's my brother and -Wait. Did you say 'pups'? As in more than one?!'

/I can tell that you will have 2. What gender, I do not know./

'Oh great. . .What do you want them to be?'

/I would, of course, want a male to inherit my lands. But I will protect and accept my pups coming from you./

'Protect? Accept? What about love?!'
