SECOND FLOOR-MASTER BEDROOM
Kagome sat in her room awaiting her husbands arrival. She was looking at the stars once more from one hundred years ago. She couldn't help but to think.
'He said the war was postponed. But until when? Who is this Lord of the East?'
Just then Sesshomaruwaltzed in the room. She paid no mind to him. He came from behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. She felt some what tense.
Sesshomaru willingly slid his arms around Kagome.
"What is on your mind Kagome?" he asked, gently pulling her so as she was right under his chin. Kagome didn't know how to tell him. If only he was unable to read her senses, damn, then she would just brush the matter off.
But, no. Lying will not save her. Even if she did lie, the attempt would be fruitless. Sesshomaru would force it out of her. And there are ways of torturing her without using pain.
"I...um. I am just a little worried about the past war. Is it over yet?" Not only did that question gave Kagome goose-bumps but it also put Sesshomaru on the verge of sweating nervously. How in Kamisama's name was he suppose to answer that one. He could always just lie to her and that would be over with. But the fact that Kagome will find out the truth sooner or later, builds up on how she will react to it.
Sesshomaru especially couldn't just blurt everything out now. If Kagome was going to blow a gasket and get angry at him before she was pregnant, think of how she will take the blasted news now that they have children. He didn't want to ruin her happiness now that it was present.
"No, it is not over with. But, we no longer have the burden of it over us. The eastern lands need not require our help." And with that single lie, Kagome's face brightened up more than Sesshomaru had ever seen on her.
"Really? Who is the Eastern Lord battling that he doesn't need us anymore?" She asked with the relieving smile still plastered on. With a grin that gorgeous the Taiyoukai felt his heart shrinking three times smaller and his brain about to bust at the lies he has been telling his humble mate.
"Do not worry about it now." Sesshomaru placed a loving kiss on her head and told Kagome to lay down and sleep. She did as ordered and with a small whisper "Hai", the miko woman felt into the deep world of dreams.
SECOND FLOOR- IN MIKKUSU'S ROOM
Lasshio was peeking out the large window space when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Kudasai Lasshio. Close that window. There's draft." Dammit. It's her dumb cousin again.
"Iie. I like to look at the stars." She called to him looking over her shoulder and back to the view.
'He thinks just because he is one year older than me that I can be bossed about so easily. Well he's wrong'. Lasshio thought as her cousin cussed under his breath.
"Nooooooo. I wanna look at the starrrrs." Iyukoko mocked her while transformed into his younger cousin. She despised him for all his trickery to her.
"Hmp. Take that!." A sudden flying top came spinning wildly into the air and landed straight onto Iyukoko's cranium which took him right out of his mimicking.
"Ahhh. Hey." The blue and red top rotated so rapidly that his uncombed, reddish, orangey locks were setting a fire to match the color of his head. What was worse, the top was growing to an enormous size and slowed down just before it reached the top of the low ceiling.
The enchanted toy shrunk to normal size. Lasshio wound it up like a yo-yo in time for Mikksu to arrive back from the lavatory. Lasshio could hear her running down the halls and to her chambers. This was good to know because the young maiden should have been asleep an hour ago.
"Grrr. I should kick your-" Iyukoko chocked on his own words as the youngest princess walked in. He sank back in his wicker seat and peered up at the hanyou girl. Iyukoko was stricken with shock when he saw how her eyes glistened with sadness.
He pulled himself together and at once was at her feet.
"My lady. Mikkusu, what's the matter?" he asked. Lasshio came from the window to join her cousin in the curiosity of their comrade. A tear fell to the ground and Mikkusu had fallen with it. Her fancy, maroon kimono draped around her along with her brown hair shimmering over her shoulders.
"Mikku!" Lasshio yelled out her nick name. She was quickly at her side as Iyukoko lifted up the graceful, delicate, ten year old beauty. Though Mikkusu was the daughter of the strongest Youkai King, she was still the youngest and frail of them all. That is until she has grown later on.
Secretly, Iyukoko would watch over her from a distance, admiring her from afar. The way she would pluck a flower and stick it in her mahogany tresses. Sometimes she would glance his way and he would get a free sight of her ocean deep blue and honey eyes.
Her cute and fluffy ears would perk up anytime she heard movement, which would often be from him changing sitting positions in the upcoming grass. Even when she had no stripes or coloured skin like her older siblings, Iyukoko though of her as the most intriguing being ever. Iyukoko was about the same age as she was, only he had just celebrated an eleventh birthday so he was recently older then her until fall time came. But for now spring was blossoming out. This would always be his secret.
He rested the weeping hime upon her royal futon. Both kitsune protectors knelt to her side. Lasshio soothed her best she could by rubbing her arm. Mikkusu was shaped as a fetal baby, crouching with one hand over her. The tears came slowly and silently.
The foxes knew their closest friend wasn't much for talking but she almost never cried, if it could be helped. The male fox stepped over her careful not to cause an accident.
"Mikkusu." He wanted nothing more than to hold her cheek in his hand and let her know everything in the world was going to be fine. But alas. He had to resist the pounding urge.
For touching the princess in such an affectionate way,(especially in front of his girlish cousin), is forbidden. Plus it would give away his liking for her.
But Lasshio sat their trying to comfort the inu-hime and in time realized why she was so upset. Iyukoko realized it also and both pair of eyes widened fully.
"What is that hazy smell?" Lasshio asked in concern.
Iyukoko began sniffing the air.
"Yea, I smell it too. It's really thick, not like water, but also has a sorta sweet smell to it." he said looking up for only a second and paid attention to Mikkusu once more.
"It's not sweet to me. I don't smell any sugar. Just a heavy, muggy smell."
Lasshio stopped her comforting as the strong scent of Lord Sesshomaru grew nearer this way.
And just as they predicted, he was standing there at the door way with a icy cold stare that could freeze time. Pretty soon Karei and Kyouko was right at their father's side.
"What is going on here?" Kyouko took the words out of his father's mouth. Many girls kept in mind that he was much more civilized than he appeared as many boys remembered that Karei was much more sophisticated than she seemed.
"Hai. I would like to know that myself." Iyukoko noticed the Lord eyeing him suspiciously.
'Why is he only looking at me. I didn't do anything.' He thought. But Lord Sesshomaru was no fool. Mikkusu was his last born child, and the only one with bi sexed guards, and the hanyou child of the family so she was weaker than others. Also he knew that Iyukoko took great interest Mikkusu.
"I'm getting mother." Karei announced and ran off to wake her mother.
Sesshomaru walked over to Mikkusu. Lasshio moved aside but Iyukoko stood his ground.
Sesshomaru growled low enough to hide it from others but sharp enough for Iyukoko to get the picture. And he sure did. In a heart beat the kitsune boy was standing next to his female cousin. They both had worried expressions attached to their skin.
Kyouko stepped in to assist his father. "What could it be?" He asked.
'Oh, he's allowed near her.' Iyukoko seethed to himself.
"She is bleeding. It is not for us to handle." Sesshomaru told his eldest child.
'Bleeding?' Both Lasshio and Iyukoko though.
'That's why it was sweet to me. Oh my Kamisama. I actually love the scent of her blood. That can't be good.' Iyukoko swallowed hard.
MASTER BEDROOM
"Mother. Mother. Onegai wake up!" Karei shook her oka-san gently.
"Mmm. Hmm? Hai. What is Karei?" Kagome asked gathering herself up.
"Oka-san, Mikkusu's bleeding. It's urgent." Karei explained.
"BLEEDING!" Kagome exclaimed, fearing for her child. "Well how did it happen?"
"I don't know." Karei bent over to whisper in Kagome's ear.
"She's bleeding down there. You know. Down there."
Karei emphasized "down there" which literally meant, down there.
Kagome let out a Kamisama thanking sigh. Her stomach almost dropped twenty feet down.
"Alright darling. You go tell your father I'll be there shortly." Karei nodded and ran off to give the news.
BACK WITH MIKKUSU
Karei arrived to find her sister still crying. She was getting better though. Karei could also see that Hanganashi and Jinkika's brother and sister had left the room. Probably to join the other kitsunes. Jinkika and Hanganashi were Iyukoko's age.
"Father, Mother said-" She was cut off
"I heard Karei." He smoothed down the back of her head. Kyouko being the oldest figured he had the right to protect his family just as much as his father did.
Soon he will be the ruler of these lands After all.
So he stayed at his baby sister's right. Her sniffling took the place of her sobbing. Kyouko did not stress the matter. He was aware his sister never spoke much, at least to him and Karei. So there was no use in asking her about the problem.
Who knows what she says to those two kitsunes. They younger's of his twelve year old guards.(I know I said the kitsune guards were their age but there all preteens ok.)
Even if he was the younger of his friend guardians, Kyouko felt as if he were the oldest of everyone but his parents.
Once again. It is he who will rule after all. It is only proper for him to carry around that attitude. Just as Sesshomaru does.
Kagome finally came around the corner to greet her family.
"How is she?" she embraced Sesshomaru first, who was leaning against the wood of the door.
"Not well." was his answer.
Kagome nodded and went in to join her other children.
"Hey honey." she first said to Kyouko. "Thanks for watching over her."
"Hai oka-san." He said to her and pushed on his knee to stand.
Kagome rubbed Mikkusu's back and watched her son exit the room. He reminded her so much of Sesshomaru. Cold at points, keeps to himself when not with company yet so carefree and so, so, possessive over his family.
The door was shut. Kagome had the chance to work things out with her baby girl.
"Sweetie. Come on. Tell me what's wrong." Kagome pulled her daughter and her arms pulled Kagome into a hug instantly.
Kagome decided to wait until she was calm before questions where answered. She lulled and shushed her little girl wiping the tears from her eyes. Kissing her and patting always help. Kagome reminisced on how her mother did the same when she would have bad dreams or a bad day. As extra Kagome massaged her ears. She liked that.
Mikkusu finally was calm enough to explain to Kagome how she went to the bathroom and as she pulled down her kimono blood came from it. Her poor baby was so frightened that she was going to die that she flew straight to her room and started to cry. And to add misfortune, her stomach hurt something horrid.
"Ok sweetie. I understand now." Kagome didn't think that she would have to have this kind of conversation with her pups seeing that they had demon blood pulsing throughout their veins.
Demons don't get periods. They get HEATS. At least the women do. Heat is an instinct vibe and when the time came for Karei to get it, either Sesshomaru would explain it to her, or she wouldn't even need explaining to. It would just come naturally. But...
'I guess I forgot that Mikkusu had human blood in her. Big mistake.' Kagome thought.
After explaining every last detail to her baby girl, Kagome gave her the necessary items and told her to take it easy for the rest of the week.
FIRST FLOOR-KITSUNE MALE ROOM
"Hope she's alright' Iyukoko prayed for his crush's safety. They were all
"So what happened in there anyhow?" Tsuroyu was putting pressure on his right arm to sit up from his futon in one end of the room.
"Yes dear bro. Tell us what happened? Did your precious Mikku get hurt? She better not have for your sake." Yakinami teased then became stern at the end of his statement.
"Shut up Yaki!" Iyukoko warned his older brother with a balled fist.
"You're so immature. And she's not my precious anything!" he lied.
Iyukoko wasn't intimidated by his brother, even now that he was eleven years of age. Sometimes he did wish that he were the older kitsune youkai. Then he could tease and make Yakinami angry.
"Alright that's enough. Settle down you two it's getting late. Don't forget General Shippo will be running drills tomorrow morning at dawn. You know how strict he can be when we oversleep." Tsuroya warned.
"Yea, yea" they both replied all wrapped up in there beds.
