Chapter 6

When dawn arrived the same day Kagome and her team left for the western fortress, General Higurishi left with Totsai and Myoga. He kept his grandson close wrapped up in his arms with riding with them through the sky up to InuKimi's sky palace. They ascended in to the cloud above and landed the entrance. Touching down, Kiseki began to fuss so the general trying rocking softly and cooing to him brushing his silver hair out his face. He couldn't help but smile at him.

"My that little one is as fussy as his father was." Myoga exclaimed as the general smiled looking up from his grandson. "Kagome wasn't any better. Lets hope he doesn't become trouble as he grows." Totsai piped up while scratching his ear, "Lets just hope doesn't develop a temper like his parents. I want to not be threatened with any more of my weapons I create."

The gates to sky palace opened to a few soldier coming out to approach their party. "What business do you have coming to the sky palace?" One soldier inquired. General Higurishi held his grandson close as he spoke up. "We come for an audience with InuKimi." "InuKimi is unavailable." Another solider argued. General Higurishi piped up, "Lady Higurishi has sent us. We must speak with her immediately." A growl rumble through the clouds and everyone paused. Coming out of the palace was a woman of silver locks half up with red lips, a purple stripe on her cheeks and bright golden eyes and she wore a white fur pelt on her shoulders. She looked exhausted but she did a decent job hiding it as she approached. "Coming. "She spoke.

They followed her in to the palace and up windy stairs cases to a private sitting room. The room had a small table with a tea pot and cup set out. Each one of them sat down on the cushions as she eyed them. "Totsai, Myoga good to see you are well still since my mate's death. And who is our new comer?" she questioned. She had an idea but wanted to hear him say it. "General Kent Higurishi, mi lady." The general answered. Her eyes widen a faction and smiled. "I can see the resemblance of Kagome in you. She has your eyes. Please call me InuKimi after we are family." Kent smiles and nods. "Ai and so does our grandson." "Grandson?' She squeaked for the first time in years.

He shifted the blanket back to reveal his grandson to her. Her golden eyes widen with shock seeing a toddler of silver hair, blue eyes, and blue single stripe on each cheek and on his brow was the house of the crescent moon just like her son's. Kiseki let out a cooing while wiggling his feet while in the general's arms. "Bless the Kamis. Where have you been little one?" She whispered with tears in her eyes.

She also notice the pointed ears which made her smile. Her grandson was pure blood demon. How was this possible? "Kagome ended up absorbing the shikon no tama over the pasted year at the beginning of her pregnancy. She is no longer bound to her physical characteristic of humanity." He answered her. She looked back up at all of them with smile. "Whats his name?" "Kiseki" He held his grandson out to her across the table and she instantly shifted him in arms. "Kiseki if only Sesshomaru could see you. His heart would soar." "Kagome kept him a secret but only few to keep him safe. She knows letting the world know of him would endanger him especially with the war going on." He remarked.

InuKimi finally understood everything with the past events happened with Sesshomaru now. His depair, sorrow and pain he felt the last year. His mate had become pregnant and he felt the pain of her labor when she was birthing his son through the mark. He didn't understand it at the time but now it all made since.

"Thank you for this blessing but why now?" She looked up questioning him. Kent sighed and held out the heart shaped necklace that Sesshomaru had given to her. "Kagome has sent us with message. Lady Higurishi will be sending her full support to rescue Sesshomaru and wishes for you protect and care for your grandson til she returns with your son." InuKimi's eyes widen with tears causing Kiseki to flex in aura around her to comfort her. She looked down at her grandson grasping his tiny hand. "I will accept her proposal but she will be explaining herself once she returns. Rooms will be prepared for all of you. Kent you will be staying in the room next door to me. I will never keep you very far from your grandson either." She turns to Totsai, "Totsai, I wish for you to meet up with kagome ASAP. Please take my son's swords, Bakusaiga and Tenseiga to her. Sesshomaru will need them.

"Ah why me?" he piped up. "Because you nit wit…you know weapons and how to handle with care!" she barked out at him causing everyone to laugh. "You leave first thing in the morning but please adjourn to your rooms while I choose to get to know my grandson." She requested. So they all retired for remainder of the day.

The night was not very short for anyone. The stress was getting to everyone. No sleep was going to anyone but they had to try so as everyone seem to somewhat seem Kagome decided to mediate. She tries to strategize their next course of action now that Sesshomaru's execution has been moved up. She decided to have three people on the ground while she would be up high as a sniper. They wouldn't be able to strike til they had visible confirmation he was out in the open. With her mind made up she began to dawn approaching over the horizon it was almost time.
