Chapter 7

Shippo was dumbstruck, He? a Lord? It should not be possible, but it is.

"Sesshomaru...when, tommorow are the troops getting here?" Inuyasha asked.
"The crack of dawn, we ALL will have to be there, agreed ...Shippo?" He asked still getting used to using the kitsunes name.

Shippo nodded, he would have to step up to being a regal royal now, so NO more being shy,
and timid...

"Lor--Sesshomaru, where will we fight and will the neko bring reinforcements"
Shippo asked trying as much as possible to be strong minded and firm. The being clever part was easy, it was already in his nature as a kitsune.

"Good point kitsune, we are fighting on the plains in nuetral territory. It is at the edge of the Western lands, and they are recruiting the Shishi(lion) youkai,
and the kurohyou(panther) youkai."

Inuyasha was solemn, he HAD to take part in this war, yet it ripped him apart so. But he knew he had to, if not for his land, then for his pride and brethren..

Sesshomaru sensed his brother's distress and understood it, but there was something wrong with the kitsune. As Inuyasha had said, he is a master, but his powers seem to have been trained beyond that of a tai-kitsune(great kitsune). And it surprised him at how this mere kitsune, even if powerful, had stepped into his new role as Tai kitsune

Shippo felt the same way as his friend but had stepped into the role and knew that since Inuyasha trained him he was more powerful than normal kits, he was definitely Inu's first choice as Kitsune no taisho.

"Alright, Sesshomaru, Shippo, we will order it this way, when they get here first we will introduce ourselves and brief them on the situation. Then take them all to the Great Hall (biggest hall is the castle) for physical training in normal combat,
then we will separate them into groups. The kitsunes will go to the other hall and train in kitsune magic, speed and weapons, and the ookami and inu will stay in the great hall for training in speed, techniques and weapons, seeing as how the ookami, and inu have basically the same physical countenance. After, we will all regroup again for armor fittings and suggestions, then we will all eat and rest and this will be our schedule till the day before the battle, that day is for resting and finalization of plans, agreed, Inuyasha suggested. Shippo and Sesshomaru were both surprised he came up with ideas for that so quickly and efficiently, but it will work, this battle will not be lost.

Then they ate, a great meal of raw warmed meat, for youkai love it warmed and raw,
then they went to their appointed chambers, each a grand chamber with fur covered futons(beds you slow people) Shippo jumped on his and snuggles into the fur relishing on how warm they are in the chill castle.

Inuyasha walks into the room that used to be his when he lived here, and saw memories he had forgotten,(sorry no flashback now:-)) Then he had layed down on his fur covered futon and snuggled into the furry warmth it provided, and Sesshomaru just went to bed on his usual bed in his chamber thinking of battle plans.

TA-DA! i am sorry it is soo short but as a present the next one will be long if i can get some inspiration, REVEIW!
