Chapter 10

Sesshomaru's pov...

" What?!" I yelled angrily.

I could feel my blood began to burn in my veins as my eyes bled red... Kagome was afraid... I knew that she didn't particularly like it when I transformed out of anger... But I didn't care... One of our children had foolishly ran away from home, inexplicably putting herself in grave danger... Kagome and I both knew that the black priestess, kikyo was still alive, and she was probably out for blood... I growled darkly as my body began to shift at the thought of that evil bitch getting her hands on my daughter... Kagome felt the exact same way I did... But her soft nature helped her maintain her reasonable side...

" Please... Sesshomaru..." Kagome said as she put her arms, stopping my transformation and reverting me back to my human form, " We've been hogging Sayuri all her life... She ran away because she wanted freedom... Please... She'll come back in time..."

" She hasn't even learned how to transform into her true form yet..." I said, my worry as a father showing through, " And she's a female..."

Kagome's loving eyes instantly turned cold enough to cause a chill to go up my spine...

"What does our daughter being a female have anything to do with it?" Kagome asked angrily.

" As I said, our daughter is a female... Females are naturally weaker than males, therefore, they need to be kept at the castle, out of harm's way..." I said simply, " I mean no disrespect, females are just too soft natured to be powerful or reliable when it comes to a battle..."

After those words were out of my mouth, I looked up to see inuyasha and Miroku looking at me with fear in thier eyes as a sudden sharp coldness changed Kagome's aura and her power began to flare...

" What a moron!" Inuyasha said laughing.

" Lord Sesshomaru, it might be wise if you left until Kagome cools off a bit..." Miroku said backing up a bit more...

" Why?" I said foolishly, " I made no mistakes... I said nothing wrong..."

" Sesshomaru!" Kagome said angrily, " You really can be stupid sometimes, ya know?!"

I gulped as her aura grew colder and she glared at me, her eyes silver fire... And then she turned on her heal and marched away...

" What did I do?!" I demanded, feeling quite foolish...

Raiden, our five year old son, came up to me and pulled on my pants leg...Wanting me to hold him... So I bent down and picked him up into my arms... Reina and Rina soon followed thier brothers example and came running to me, reaching out thier little arms to me as well... It felt so good to have my other three children in my arms... Reina tapped me on the cheek to get my attention then, and I looked at her...

" What is it Reina?" I asked.

" Why did you say those things to make mommy mad?" Reina asked cutely.

" I did not intend to make her angry..." I said in shock.

" But you did, daddy... You need to say sorry..." Reina said frowning and trying to look mad too, but all it did was make her look cute.

" Alright..." I said...

After all, life was a living hell when your mate is unhappy... I set the three of them down carefully and went to go find Kagome to apologize... I found her a few minutes later, the smell of her tears burning my nose, making me feel even worse then I was already...

" Kagome?" I asked, kneeling down beside her.

" Go away Sesshomaru..." Kagome said angrily, " I'm still very angry with you!"

But I wrapped my arms around her any way and growled in a low tone to calm my little female down before turning her to face me...

" I am sorry... When I said what I said before, I was not including you, my love... You surpass every warrior I've ever fought before... I thought you would have known that..." I said holding her close to me, " How could I ever think my mate was weak, when she was the very one who defeated Naraku?!"

" I love you... Sesshomaru..." Kagome said smiling as she kissed my cheek...

" And I love you too, my mate..." I growled longingly.

" We can do that kind of stuff right now..." Kagome said irritatedly all of a sudden, " Honestly Sesshomaru! Sayuri is still missing!"

And just like that, Kagome's fury was back again... And once again, I found myself in the dog house... I'll never understand females...
