Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

The group walked back to the village to pick up the rest of their comrades and check on the villagers. During the trip everyone talked, even Sesshomaru. Spending time in the palace made him open up a little bit more.

Reika was already in the village on her demon horse. The whole village outside, staring at her.

"Here is the new lord of the Northern lands, Lord Inuyasha and his mate, Lady Kagome!" in a loud powerful voice, commanding absolute attention.

"What about you Lady Reika, why are you not going to rule again?" one villager asked.

"My home is in the east, my mother chose him to be the new lord."

"What about Lord Kiaiki?" another asked.

"He never was a lord, nor was he worthy, Lord Inuyasha along with his companions risked their lives to save those women. He is your true lord." causing the whole village eyes to be glued on the group. Leading her horse toward the group she dismounted and bowed in front of them.

"Arigato... Everyone, take care of my people. I will spread the news to the other villages and towns." Mounting her horse she rode off into the woods. The entire village stared at their new lord in awe, who was red with embarrassment.

"Rin! Your safe!" Jaken came from out of nowhere running into Rin's arms, shocking the entire group.

"I missed you too Jaken!" she chirped. Uh-An rubbed against her leg, getting a loving pet on both heads.

"Let's go, I want to go see my nephew." Sesshomaru said interrupting the reunion.

"Kirara!" Sango yelled, waiting for her demon cat to come.

"Meow." the small neko ran jumping over Jaken's head into her master's arms.

"Have you been a good girl?" she cooed gently scratching her ears, enjoying her purr.

"Meow." take that as a yes.

Now that the whole group was now together everyone set off back home. To make the trip shorter, Sango and Miroku rode Kirara, Kagome rode Inuyasha's back, Sesshomaru flew with Rin on his cloud, and Jaken rode Ah-Un. What would of been a day only took a few hours.

The village Inuyasha and the others lived in was a small and friendly one; it was prosperous and growing quickly. Kaede stood in front of the village temple, standing with a wooden cane. When she first saw the group, her fragile heart almost stopped, seeing Sesshomaru and Inuyasha not trying to kill each other.

A little boy with puppy ears and long black hair ran out of the temple into his father's arms.

"Daddy!" the quarter youkai squealed, hugging his father tightly.

"Hashi! Daddy missed you!" spinning his son around. As soon as he was put down the child ran to his mother giving her a big hug.

"Mommy!"

"Hello sweetie, did you give Kaede and Shippo any trouble?" rubbing his adorable dog ears.

"Of course not, mommy."

"Good." giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Eww!" rubbing the "germs" off his face. "Yucky." causing his mother to smile.

Sango and Miroku received hugs from Hashi before leaving to find their children. Shippo was out courting a thunder demon named Soten while another villager watched their children. Noticing the unfamiliar faces Hashi rudely pointed to them.

"Who are they?" he asked his mother.

"Well that's Ah-Un, Jaken, Rin and your uncle Sesshomaru." pointing to each of them as she said their name.

"Really mommy, that's Uncle Sesshomeewoo?" cutely staring up at her with big gold eyes. Waving her hands, she gestured for the youkai to come.

"Say hello Hashi."

"Hello." the boy whispered before hiding his face behind his mother's leg.

"Why are you hiding, pup?" Sesshomaru asked, making the boy leave from behind his mother to in front of him.

"My name is Hashi." less afraid than before.

"Pleased to meet you Hashi, you do not have anything to fear."

"Who said I was afraid!" showing he was very much like his father, crossing his arms putting on a brave face. This made everyone laugh, even Sesshomaru.

"Why is everyone laughing?" the boy asked twitching his ears in confusion. Then it happened; Sesshomaru smiled, giving the child a pat on the head.

"Brother, you have quite a son, he takes after you."

"Thanks." it was a first in years that they acted like brothers, hopefully it stays like this.

"It's getting dark maybe we should leave." Rin said to the demon lord.

"Hey lady!" Hashi yelled. He ran to Rin and started sniffing her. She smelled like his uncle Sesshomaru and wild flowers.

"Are you my uncle's woman?" he asked rudely, staring up at her.

"Hashi! Don't be so rude!" Kagome said, scolding her son. "Inuyasha say something to your son!" turning to her husband, but he was too busy laughing at his son's antics.

"Uncle Sess-." he continued.

"Yes she is." he modestly answered. Rin smiled and kissed his cheek, surprising everyone, it was still hard to absorb that Sesshomaru was in love with a human, something he despised.

"So I'm your woman?" smiling up at him.

"Yes, is that a problem?" lifting one of his fine eyebrows, pulling her close to his chest.

"No." giggling and blushing.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" responded an astonished Jaken, staring at the couple.

"Is there a problem, Jaken." it was a statement rather than a question, looking down at the little imp.

"Of course my lord! No problem at all!"

Hashi ran up to his uncle, who let go of Rin and knelt down to his level. At that moment gold met gold, Hashi had a pouty face, knowing his uncle was about to leave.

"I don't think mommy and daddy would mind if I came back to play sometime, Uncle Sesshomeewoo."

"Of course not." Inuyasha quickly answered.

After playing with their children Sango and Miroku went to say goodbye. Sesshomaru and his group left to go back to the palace.

"You must tell me what happened, Inuyasha." Kaede said, sitting on the temple steps.

"It's a long story." sitting next to her.

"Really?"

"Yeah and you won't believe what happened."

Yay another chap! Review, drop a line. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Later! Don't you just love Uncle Sesshomeewoo!
