It was a dark night, as Kagome gazed out of the car, her hand carding though soft silver hair of her sleeping son. The only sound was that of her Mate tapping away on his laptop.
She sighed, and the tapping stilled. She glanced at him to see his golden eyes staring her down.
"What is bothering you Miko?" he asked is a bored tone, to most would seem uncaring. But she had been with this demon for almost five hundred years. She knew the small cues to know he was genuinely worried.
"Nothing, Just wish Shippo could have joined our trip. But I understand Souten is due any day now." A smile graced her lips at the thought of her third grandchild. She giggled a little at the thought, after all she was only four hundred and eighty-five. Technically her past self wouldn't even be born until some time next year.
"We only have one more night here, Miko. Then you can smother the kit again." He paused before adding, "This Sesshomaru also noticed that Takeo is not as happy."
The two glanced at their son who was cuddled up to his mother. "Is it any wonder? He was looking forward to spending time with his older brother."
Sesshomaru scoffed, "More like he was looking forward to the mischief. This one sometimes questions if he is really an Inu, and not a Kitsune."
Kagome giggled at her Mate and brushed her hand through her son's hair once more.
As Sesshomaru went back to his work, and Kagome looking back out the window, when all of the street lights went out. The car stopped at the sudden unexpected action.
Sesshomaru looked up, and she could hear the rumble from his growl, as he closed his laptop. "What is happening?" He questioned, and the driver turned nervous eyes to the irritated Lord.
"I'm not sure, my Lord...But I sense some magic in the air." was his nervous reply.
Just as Sesshomaru went to open the door the lights blinked on once more. He narrowed his golden eyes, as they flashed a deep crimson for a moment. "Let us go! This Sesshomaru has no interest interacting with English Wizards." He sneered out the last part.
The drive quickly did as was ordered, and the car was off again. Kagome leaned over to her mate and rested her head on his shoulder and hummed softly, trying to relax her irritated, and tense Mate. She felt him loosen, and he rumbled deeply in his chest in appropriation. She still believed that sound was a purr, no matter how much Sesshomaru denied it as such.
His attention once more in the number on his screen. Kagome smiled contently as once more looked at the passing houses that all looked the same, and quite boring.
Just as the car passed the house with a number four on the wall next to it, something caught Kagome's eyes causing her to sit up abruptly. "Stop the car!"
The driver did just that, the wheels squealing to a stop, the only one not affected by the abrupt stop was Sesshomaru, who was looking at the driver in annoyance. The man took his ire, because he feared his Lady way more than his Lord.
Takeo, was now on the floor still somehow asleep, and Sesshomaru had to wonder about his son sometimes...
Just as Sesshomaru was going to ask what had gotten into his Mate, She was out of the door, and heading back down the road aways. He huffed , before getting out as well, and following her.
"What are you doing Miko?" He asked but she just continued her march down the road, only to stop in front of a plain, boring house, with the number four indicating the house number.
He smelt what had interested his mate, before he saw it.
Kagome quickly made her way to the little basket and looked to see a little toddler in it, barely a year old it seemed. He wiggled around in discomfort with a whine.
He saw his mate melt, and coo at the little human. He sighed as he watched her pick him up and hold him close.
Kagome was smitten aseptically when she saw his beautiful emerald green eyes. She looked him over before tensing when she felt the dark magic coming from his scar on his forehead.
Sesshomaru was at her side when he saw her stiffen, and he too smelt the fowl magic. "Who would leave this little one untreated with such dark magic!" He growled out, which the child just cooed in response, his hands reaching for his silver locks.
"Not sure, but it is fresh enough that I can heal it." Kagome said as she placed a finger on the lighting scar, and focused her holy energy, her hand glowing a slight pink, before black smoke rose off of the scar, and black ick started to seep from it.
Kagome quickly grabbed the handkerchief Sesshomaru offered her, and whipped the now lighter scar clean. "There you go dear, all better." She cooed as he cuddled him close.
Sesshomaru looked at the basket, and saw a letter, he picked it up and opened it, showing it contents to Kagome. They both scowled as they finished reading.
"What do you wish to do Mate of Mine?" Sesshomaru asked as, though he already had a decent idea.
Kagome thought as she rocked the little who was falling asleep. She glanced at the house, as she glowed pink once more. She looked over the aura of the people in the house, and she frowned.
"No, Nope, Not happening!" She turned on her heel and headed to the car, Sesshomaru followed after grabbing the basket.
Once in the car they headed off again. "Are we really going to spirit away a little wizard?"
Kagome raised an eyebrow "Oh, don't act like you won't enjoy messing with Albus with this." She never did understand their dislike for one another.
Either way Sesshomaru's grin was wicked at the thought of causing any annoyance to that old wizard.
"You know, when I asked for a souvenir, I didn't think you would get me a new brother...Not that I'm complaining..."
