Chapter 10
The many waves of emotions coursing through Sesshomaru's mind was explainable. Angry, love, anxiety but to most of all fear gripped him. The main purpose for his life and enduring all the torture moments of his captivity was for her. Seeing her laying in her lap pale from the blood lost was devastating to him; it crippled him. At that very moment all he ever wished for was for her to open those blue eyes he became so memorized with. But she didn't.
Inuyasha tried to move towards him to shake him, but when he got with five feet out him he let out deep growl of warning. "Sessh…we have to get her inside. I'm sure your mother knows we are back and can help Kags." Sesshomaru lifted his head to reveal his normal golden eyes to be glazed over red with teal iris in the center of him. His beast and him were one and agreement; they will protect their mate with their life.
The gates to the sky palace open to his mother's guards coming to assist them. Picking up her and himself, Sesshomaru stood on his feet and walked past all of them and through the gates entrance. The group followed behind him with the escorted by the guard from behind. Up the windy stair case they went and into the tea sitting room when they met the scene of his mother, InuKimi, and General Higurishi laughing over the bundle of joy wrapped in a blanket.
Kent stopped laughing when his eye sight saw them stroll through the door way. His eyes immediately when into panic seeing his daughter unconscious with Sesshomaru's arms. He dropped is tea cup, letting drop to the floor as he rushed over to assess the situation. He didn't get to close to anyone especially Sesshomaru due the thunderous roar that come from the inu lord. He watched with wide blue eyes as Sesshomaru cuddle Kagome more into his chest; shielding her as much he could from eveyone's eyes.
InuKimi sighed as she stood to her full height to greet everyone with a crying pup in her arms, "I'm sure everyone is tired from their journey back. I had rooms prepared for you. I suggest all of you to retire to your rooms and freshen up to the remainder of the day." Once everyone went their separate ways, she handed her crying grandson to Kent before approaching Sesshomaru. "Let me take of look at her, Sesshomaru." He gave her warning growl. "Don't you start with me pup! She need medical attention and not even your protectiveness is going to stop that. Now are you going to let me see her or do I need to remove you from the room?" His growl died down to a groan, "Take me to our room, Mother." She clapped her clawed hands together while turning to lead the way out of the sitting room and down the hall.
Sesshomaru followed his mother past the mid aged human male he knew to Kagome's father, he caught new scent that he couldn't place from the pup wrapped in the blanket. His instincts were telling him about the pup but he just thought it was due to the fact the pup was probably pack. So he didn't pay much attention to the thought as he walked right behind his mother into a room adjacent to his mother's bedchambers.
Kent walked into the room watching Sesshomaru place his daughter softly on the bed, laying her on her side with her head slightly his lap. "Sesshomaru, I need her upright so I can take off her armor." The inu lord grumbled before pick her up, setting her weight against him before she went work unbuckling Kagome leather brace. Once total unbelted from her waist the midsection of armor was thrown across the room. She torn Kagome's black shirt from her midsection easily. InuKimi rolled up her sleeves and began inspecting Kagome. She didn't have to stare long at the wound on the left side of her back know that it was enlaced with a toxin poison. The wound was red inflamed with black vein like lines coming out from around it. "Well see that damn dragon brat does like to play with is poisons doesn't he!" She remarked. "She won't be able to heal on her own without an antidote. Dragon poison can be fatal if not treated but it just so happens your mother is a poison master."
Kent watched from the door frame as they worked on his daughter, "Wouldn't her celestial healing abilities be able to neutralize the substance?" Sesshomaru's amber eyes widen in surprise to this new information. "Celestial?" InuKimi piped up, "Yes lots has changed over the years. She is a celestial now. She will ketch you up when she wakes up." "That's if she does." Sesshomaru sadly mentioned. InuKimi reached across Kagome's body smacking him on the cheek. "Quiet talking like that pup! She will wake up. This one has a lot to live for. Don't you worry about that!" He glared at his mother before he heard another crying whine from the pup in Kent's arms. "Mother can you please call a wet nurse for your pup. Its distracting!" InuKimi couldn't but give a deviant smile when he mentioned the pup in Kent's arms so she approached Kent in the doorway, and reached out for the pup. "Kent can you please inform the healer staff that I need specific herb from my garden the antidote?" He hesitated for a moment glancing from her to her son before leaving.
Once he left, she turned to her son while cooing down at the little pup in her arms. "I have someone for you to meet little one. And Sesshomaru I have someone I want to introduce you to." He growled at her as he pulled Kagome back into his lap resting her on his left shoulder. InuKimi approached him while unwrapping the blanket back from the pup. Sesshomaru watched his mother slowly pull back to blanket and lean down to reveal young male pup of silver hair, pale skin, blue eyes just like his mate's, navy blue strip on each cheek and the dark purple/blue crescent moon on his brow.
He was lost for words while many emotion coursed through him. His eyes bleed through slightly red as a sign his beast from present finally taking in the scent of the pup and his features. Pup? Our mate has secret given our own pup! His beast finally spoke up to him. He turned his head to his mate's sleeping form them back to his pup letting out a pleasing rumble from his chest. "Would you like to hold your son, Sesshomaru?" He immediately held out his arms to her. She gently transfer her grandson to his son's right arm, watching him cradle him into himself. Not even noticing it his amber eyes began to seep tears down his cheeks. The pup looked up at his father wiggling his legs while cooing making Sesshomaru instantly smile. "Kiseki. InuKimi mentioned, having look up to her confused. "His name is Kiseki." "Kiseki…" He repeated it letting roll off his tongue for the first time. "Miracle…very appropriate." "You have done well my son. If only your father can see you now. He would be as proud of you as I am." She praised him.
He gently rocked his son to calm his cries while looking up at his mother. "I love her and I will fight for our family." "You should my son. She is one of kind and you both are ment to be together. But I know she is afraid especially when come to her deeps fears and desires." She informed him. 'I will leave you to get to know your son while get this antidote ready for your mate." She leaned over, kissed her son's and grandson's brows before exiting the room.
