Disclaimer: I Do NOT OWN Inuyasha!

Like Father, Like Son

As Kija walked with Nara, Tama and Rin, he looked a tad bit nervous as they neared the castle. He could only hope that Sesshoumaru would be pleased that he had returned with Nara. But the thought of bringing home a son, made him anxious. A shaky sigh came from his as his blue eyes looked over the boy. He had Inuyasha's stubborn attitude, but deep inside there was something about him that stated he was Sesshoumaru's son. He could sense the unruly emotions coming from Tama. Kija could only hope that the young one would keep his mouth shut while in the presence of the Lord Of The West. He licked his lips as his eyes looked to the castle. Only when he felt Nara's hand on his shoulder, he blinked and turned his gaze to her.

Her smile would be warm as she was finally showing true happiness. Her laughter could be heard as she was dragged be Rin to the castle's front. Her grey eyes looked up at the big doors. The demoness squeezed her hand as she looked down at the young girl who was beaming as she opened the door with a great push. Although, soon after she had help from the servants inside. Her light laughter came as she walked in with Nara. The two seemed to be still for a moment and then Nara realized that Tama wasn't behind her. She looked back and saw the other two walking up. A sigh of relief came from her.

"It's good that you are back, Miss Nara. I have missed you." said the young girl.

Nara smiled as she looked at Rin. "I have missed you too." she said, softly before standing in the middle of the room. The demoness looked a bit nervous as she knew that Sesshoumaru would appear soon. She knew that he wouldn't harm her, but she was afraid for Tama who had just entered with Kija. Her worried expression had sent both of the boys to her side.

"It's going to alright." Kija said, before looking the right to see Jaken run out of the room. He could only roll his eyes as he know that the Lord Of The West was on his way. "He hasn't changed." he said, shaking his head.

"Whoa! What was that little thing?" Tama asked, looking at Nara who was deep in thought.

"That's Jaken." Rin said, smiling some at the young demon.

"Jaken? There's is a weird name. Geez, I thought my father wouldn't have anything but us dog demons." he said, looking at her. "But your human..." he said, sniffing her and then wrinkling his nose.

Kija was about to say something, but Sesshoumaru walked in. His golden eyes scanned the room and fell on the boy. They narrowed, but he could sense that this child belonged to him. He took a step closer to Tama, who was standing straight now. He looked up at his father with determined eyes. He had done a fill 360 from just a few minutes ago. The boy wasn't slouching or talking out of line. Instead, he was behaving himself. It seemed that even Tama would listen to the Lord Of The West. After he looked at Tama, his eyes looked to Kija and then to Nara who stood with her head down. For almost a minute, he looked at her and his eyes almost softened.

"Nara, follow me." he said, turning around and walked down a small hall into another room.

She looked up and sighed. Her grey eyes looked to Kija and then to Tama. She smiled briefly and then began to walk after him. Her heart was racing as she moved. So many thoughts went through her head as she continued on. Her hands shook some as she ran them over her dress. Nara saw the door and took another deep breath before walking into the room. The demoness closed the door behind her. However, little did she know that the door closed right in front of Tama who glared at the door.

See, Tama didn't like being away from his mother and still didn't trust Kija to much. He didn't know anyone here and didn't want to leave his mother, but his father was scary. He rubbed his forehead and looked at the door. He wouldn't dare go in. Tama didn't even know what his father's name was, but boy was scared to even ask.

"Hey there, kid." Kija said, walking up to see Tama with his head against the door, trying to listen in.

Tama snapped his head up. "Shh." he said, and then stuck it against the door once again.

This action caused Kija to chuckle some as he walked up closer to him. His blue eyes looked at the door and then he began to wonder what was going on. No, he couldn't eavesdrop. That's not right. But then again, he really wanted to know what those two were discussing. Oh the temptation was to much. He soon stood over Tama and pressed his head against the door as well. The sight was quite amusing to any of the servants who walked back. All except one, who was rather scared of talking to Kija at the moment. She just walked past in a hurry, trying not to pay attention to the two. She wanted to talk with Nara later.

Meanwhile, behind the door, Nara stood. She didn't dare speak or even look at Sesshoumaru. Fear was written all over her. Yet, she still stood there and prepared for the worse. It was like her to just take everything that was thrown at her. That was the thing he admired about her, yet she would never know that. For he kept everything inside. Nara squeezed her eyes shut and the tried to relax some. She knew that he was watching her and not speaking was probably upsetting him more.

The Lord Of The West, was getting upset that she wasn't talking. That she wasn't herself, but what she had been when he first met her. The one person that didn't annoy him with her voice wasn't speaking. He needed to hear it to let him know she was really back, and she wasn't talking to him. It was frustrating, because he couldn't just make her explain everything. She wasn't like everyone else. Why couldn't she? Things would be easier. After a few moments, he looked away and then moved away from her. As he moved, she reached out and grabbed his pelt briefly before pulling her hand back again. This action caused him to stop and look at her once again. He would note the tears falling from her eyes now.

She looked up at him and without thinking, she moved closer to him. Nara rested her head softly against his pelt and let her tears flow now. All her pain, she let out. She knew she was safe now. No one could harm her now that she was in his arms. Her grey eyes widened as she felt his arms around her, holding her closer. She smiled some as rested her head there. The tears slowly stopped. "Don't hurt Tama." she said, softly.

"Tama would be our son, I presume."

"Yes. I have tried to teach him everything that I know, but its not much."

"He will be a fine heir, Nara. Do not worry about him."

"I am scared that you wouldn't want him. That you would harm him."

"No, he has your blood flowing through his veins. I cannot harm him." he said, looking down at her. "But I shall train him."

She looked up with a tear streaked face. "Train?"

"I shall do what needs to be done to make him strong."

She nodded and closed her eyes once she felt his clawed hand on her face. Slowly, a smile come to her. It made her feel better to know that when it was just the two of them, he would show some affection to her. It was then that she felt an odd kind of love coming from him. It made her feel wanted and warm. She opened her eyes looked into his with love and affection.

"Sing." he said, his voice soft for a drastic change.

She laughed some and nodded. Nara cleared her throat and let her voice carry over the air to soothe his empty soul. She watched him and noticed that his facial expressions resembled Tama when she sang to him. She smiled brightly as she gave it her all, happy to be back here where she belonged. 'Like father, like son.' she thought as she rested a hand on his white pelt.
